Chapter 528 She Has a Better Candidate
It's the sound of a car!
Then came the sound of messy footsteps.
A hurried figure ran in, "Sister-in-law!"
"Huo Sijiao? Why is she in the imperial capital?" Sun Weimeng looked puzzled.
Qiao Xi looked at her in astonishment: "Jiaojiao?"
He glanced at Huo Xingzhou again and found that there was no surprise on his expression.
This was obviously known a long time ago.
Huo Sijiao ran to Qiao Xi and saw the gauze wrapped around her hand, her eyes turned red.
Tears fell instantly!
She didn't go to the Chinese medicine clinic to watch the game today, but was angry with Shen Xuanzhi. So she stayed in the hotel to watch the live broadcast, but she didn't expect this to happen.
Her tears rolled down like big pearls: "Sister-in-law, how could you be hurt like this by them? It must be very painful, I wish I could cut them into pieces!"
Qiao Xi quickly comforted him, "It's okay, it's been taken care of. When did you arrive in the imperial capital? Why didn't you tell us?"
Huo Sijiao choked with sobs, "I arrived a few days ago! This must have been done by Xiang Mingzhu. That night I was wondering what she was doing at the Yunqi Hotel. She must have bribed that guy named Li Songwen!"
She cried so sadly that she couldn't stop crying!
"It's all my fault! If I had followed them, I would have discovered their conspiracy!"
"It has nothing to do with you. It's their dirty minds."
Qiao Xi patted her back gently and said, "Don't cry. You won't look good when you cry."
Sun Weimeng quickly pulled out a few tissues and stuffed them into Huo Sijiao's hands with disgust: "Not only that, but when he cries he looks like Zhu Bajie! So ugly."
"Sun Weimeng!"
Huo Sijiao wiped her tears vigorously with a tissue and glared at him fiercely.
Sun Wei glanced at her and muttered a few words, then moved to the side with the medicine grinder. He was still grinding the medicinal materials with great effort.
Qiao Xi just said that the amount for one time is enough, and the medicine will definitely need to be changed later!
So he had to prepare more medicine powder, as freshly ground ones would have better effects.
This family will fall apart without him, Sun Weimeng!
Crash, crash!
Sun Weimeng sat on the edge and started rolling again.
Huo Sijiao sat next to Qiao Xi, sniffing and asking about her well-being.
Qiao Xi held her hand and said, "I'll ask Xiao Yuan to clean up the guest room for you. You can stay here tonight."
Huo Sijiao quickly shook her head: "My luggage is at the Yunqi Hotel. This small villa seems crowded with so many people. It's more convenient for me to stay at the hotel."
She has selfish motives.
She cares about her sister-in-law, but she can't let go of Shen Xuanzhi.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and said worriedly, "But the imperial capital is dangerous. Those people will do anything to achieve their goals. I'm afraid they will do something to you..."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. This is a society ruled by law. I will be careful."
Qiao Xi frowned slightly, thinking that Huo Sijiao might not have fully understood the true nature of the Lu and Xiang families. In their hearts, there is no law, only interests.
Maybe Lu Yan and Xiang Ze are just pawns who can be abandoned and taken the blame at critical moments.
Her gaze fell on Huo Xingzhou, hoping that he would speak up to keep Huo Sijiao.
After all, Huo Sijiao is most afraid of her brother and usually listens to him!
Who knows!
Huo Xingzhou said calmly: "Then you should stay in the hotel. It is indeed a bit crowded here."
Qiao Xi opened her mouth slightly, but still did not say anything questioning.
Huo Xingzhou has his reasons for everything he does.
Huo Sijiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, brother. I will take good care of myself. And please don't tell my parents that I lied to them and said I was traveling abroad."
If her parents knew that she had followed Shen Xuanzhi to the imperial capital, who knows what kind of trouble would arise.
She really can't let go of the person she fell in love with for the first time.
"Um."
Huo Xingzhou responded indifferently.
Huo Sijiao was much happier after getting Huo Xingzhou's consent.
"Sister-in-law, I..."
She wanted to pull Qiao Xi aside to talk for a few more words, but Huo Xingzhou hugged Qiao Xi's shoulders and said, "Your sister-in-law is very tired. I'll take her back to her room to rest. Dinner will be brought to her room later."
Qiao Xi's face was pale, with cold sweat on his forehead, and he looked very tired.
Huo Sijiao didn't dare to say anything more, and only said: "Sister-in-law, take good care of yourself. I will come to see you tomorrow."
"Well, Jiaojiao, be careful on the road. Let Lao Chen take you to the hotel."
"Okay, sister-in-law, don't worry about me. I'm actually one year older than you."
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and smiled as she looked at her, but was picked up by Huo Xingzhou.
He carefully avoided her right hand and carried her towards the stairs.
He didn't say anything else.
Her rosy thin lips were tightly pursed, and her eyes were deep and calm.
Qiao Xi looked at his superior profile and for a moment forgot the pain.
Huo Xingzhou carried her to the big bed in the master bedroom, and the man turned on all the lights.
The room is bright.
He gently took a pillow and covered her with the silk quilt.
Qiao Xi half leaned against the headboard and said, "I'm not a porcelain doll. I just hurt my hand, but I can still walk and jump. I left like that without even saying a word to Jiaojiao."
Huo Xingzhou poured her a glass of warm water and said, "She can talk all day long, she has no sense of propriety. If you want to chat, there'll be plenty of time later."
Qiao Xi tugged at his clothes and asked, "Why do you let Jiaojiao live out there? It's very dangerous out there. Many people know she's your sister, and there's no guarantee they won't have bad intentions."
Qiao Xi was still worried that Huo Sijiao would be used by those people.
Huo Xingzhou handed the warm water to her lips and said, "I have sent people to protect her. As long as her life is not threatened, it's fine. As for the rest, it's time to let her taste the dangers of the world."
"How can you act like a brother like this?"
Qiao Xi complained softly.
Huo Xingzhou twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "She came here after Shen Xuanzhi. The eldest daughter of the Huo family is going to get hurt sooner or later if she chases a man. We can't persuade her about this kind of thing. We can only let her give up on her own."
"How do you know Shen Xuanzhi isn't a good match?"
"He and I are both men, I know what he is thinking."
Shen Xuanzhi is aloof and proud, but deep down he has a sense of inferiority. He always longs for the existence of a little sun like Jiaojiao, but he is afraid of being burned by the sun.
When a person who has lived in the darkness of hatred for more than 20 years suddenly sees the dazzling sun, his first reaction is to close his eyes.
Instead of basking in the morning light!
Huo Xingzhou reached out and gently pinched the tip of her nose: "There are better candidates than Shen Xuanzhi. But I won't interfere with her feelings. Let's see what fate will choose."
Qiao Xi asked: "Who is the better candidate?"
Huo Xingzhou curled the corners of his lips and said, "You'll know when the time comes."
Qiao Xi pouted a little dissatisfiedly, and another question came to her mind.
She looked up at him and asked.
