Chapter 475 Qiao Xi is jealous
Qiao Xi was stunned as she digested this shocking news.
Huo Xingzhou didn't care how much shock his words caused.
He pulled Qiao Xi out of the door and got into the car.
Old Chen started the Rolls-Royce and noticed the abnormal atmosphere between them, so he didn't dare to say a word.
Qiao Xi turned to look at the man and asked, "When did Li Nianqi fall in love with you? Isn't this the first time you met? No, there was also last night. Li Nianqi fell in love with you at first sight."
Thinking of how she had just been pulled aside by Old Lady Li to talk in the living room, and how Li Nianqi had tried every possible way to seduce her husband, Qiao Xi felt a sour taste in her heart.
A little bit bland, and a little bit infuriating.
She bit her lip, her cheeks puffed out with anger.
Huo Xingzhou reached out and poked her cheek: "Why are you so angry? Others like me, and I can't control it."
Qiao Xi frowned and said, "I'm just so angry that I didn't notice her little trick just now. No wonder she dressed up so beautifully today, but spoke so rudely to me. She even said that I was cheating on you because I was pregnant with someone else's child!"
How frustrating!
Last night, Li Nianqi started spreading rumors and saying bad things about her after they left. Perhaps she also liked Huo Xingzhou and hated her.
Huo Xingzhou hugged her and laughed, "Are you jealous?"
He rarely saw her jealous.
I thought she didn't care about anything.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and said frankly, "I am a little jealous, but more angry. What she did is so immoral. Fortunately, I don't have too much hope for the Li family. It's better to rely on yourself than on others."
Huo Xingzhou said softly: "You can rely on me occasionally, I'm not bad either."
Qiao Xi was amused by him: "So the most important purpose of your coming to the Li family today is not to give you the safe key, but to warn Li Nianqi and Madam Li?"
At first, she thought of the friendship between the two families and changed her address to call the old lady Grandma Li.
Now I can't shout at all.
How could Li Nianqi wear that imperial green necklace around her neck without her permission?
Maybe the old lady also has a lot of selfish motives.
Huo Xingzhou said softly, "Sometimes a fly can spoil the whole bunch, and even a small character can ruin things. I'm giving Madam Li a heads-up so she can discipline her granddaughter properly. It's best not to let her out during this period."
"Are you afraid that she will affect the needle trial meeting?"
"Well. Even if she's not very good, she has lived in the imperial capital for so many years." Huo Xingzhou lowered his head, his eyes level with hers, and said seriously, "Qiao Xi, I don't want you to take any risks."
So he takes everything into consideration and pays attention to everything.
Qiao Xi felt warm in her heart when she heard his words.
She stared at him and said, "Next time something like this happens, let me do it myself. I'm very stingy and don't want you to be coveted by other women, especially someone like Li Nianqi."
"good."
Huo Xingzhou said softly, "But I'm afraid you won't have the chance to make a move. Madam Li looks very serious. Li Nianqi will definitely be taught a lesson."
…
Huo Xingzhou's guess was correct.
As soon as he and Qiao Xiyi left the Li family, Mrs. Li's scrutinizing gaze fell on Li Nianqi, pointing her finger at Li Nianqi, her lips twitching.
"Get down on your knees, you bastard! How dare you covet a married woman? Have you thrown all the lessons I taught you into oblivion?"
"grandmother……"
Li Nianqi looked at her fearfully, her face covered in tears.
“Kneel down!”
Madam Li shouted angrily.
Li Nianqi had no choice but to kneel down on the ground with a bang.
She was raised by her grandmother, who knew that she valued etiquette the most. It seemed that only in this way could some traces of the former glory of the Li family be preserved.
Li Nianqi grew up under this traditional "lady" etiquette, and she felt suffocated.
I really want to find a way out.
She wanted to rebel, to be unconventional, to break out of this cage.
The appearance of Huo Xingzhou aroused the most desires and indulgences in her heart.
Madam Li looked at her, her eyes flashing with uncontrollable anger. "Someone, bring me a ruler. I'm going to enforce family discipline today!"
"grandmother……"
Li Nianqi suddenly looked up at her and said, "No."
The Li family's ruler is no joke, and it will not be taken out easily.
Li Nianqi had seen his brother from the same clan being beaten until his skin was torn and flesh was exposed.
She thought that since she was a girl, her grandmother would not be so cruel.
But I didn't expect... that I would be punished by the family.
Old Mrs. Li stood there motionless, and the servant quickly took the ruler and handed it to her with both hands.
Old Mrs. Li weighed the heavy ruler in her hand, her cheeks tense.
She ordered, "Put your hands out."
"No, grandma..."
Under her oppressive gaze, Li Nianqi slowly stretched out her delicate right hand.
Bang!
He hit her palm hard.
A red mark soon appeared on the palm of my hand and it slowly began to swell.
"ah!"
Li Nianqi screamed in pain and tears rolled down her face.
Madam Li said in a deep voice, "You still have the nerve to cry?"
She really feels so disappointed with him!
Another hard hit!
The other grandchildren she raised weren't particularly outstanding, but they all had good morals. This youngest, however, seemed to be born with a rebellious streak.
No matter how I teach him, he won’t listen!
He looks obedient on the surface, but he has a lot of ulterior motives.
Bang!
The old lady's face turned pale and she hit her palm with all her strength.
Li Nianqi cried and howled, his right hand was swollen like a steamed bun, and bloodstains could be vaguely seen.
“Bang!”
The old lady frowned, trying hard to control her anger, and looked at Li Nianqi who was crying with her turbid but determined eyes.
"You're ungrateful! I'll beat you, you heartless, ungrateful ungrateful bastard. The Liu family saved me and gave me a jewelry store. You don't appreciate it, and you're still gossiping and talking bad about me!"
Bang!
"I'm going to hit you for being so immoral as to seduce someone else's husband!"
Old Madam Li ripped the butterfly crystal hairpin from her hair and threw it to the ground. "You are so shameless and flirtatious!"
Li Nianqi covered his head, his scalp aching.
Crying even louder.
The old lady felt very upset when she heard her crying.
Her temples were throbbing with pain. "One last hit! I'm hitting you for being rude and hurting Qiao Xi with my words!"
Bang!
The last blow hit Li Nianqi's face.
Li Nianqi covered her cheeks and looked at her in disbelief.
Her cheeks went numb, and then bursts of burning pain came. Her face wasn't pretty enough to begin with, and now her grandmother had hit her in the face. This was making her too embarrassed to go out!
Her fair skin turned red, the marks of the ruler were obvious, and her eyes were filled with anger as she glared at the old lady.
Madam Li's face turned grim as she asked, "Are you unconvinced?"
Li Nianqi bit her lip, slowly stood up and approached Old Lady Li.
There seemed to be some cruelty in those eyes.
