Chapter 322: Going to Liu's House and Questioning Liu Huimin
Huo Xingzhou's hand touched her chest, where her heart was.
"You have a thorn here. If you don't pull it out, will you be able to sleep tonight?" He looked at her seriously.
Qiao Xi opened her mouth but said nothing. It turned out that he understood everything.
The man half-closed his eyes and said, "Don't you want to find out what's going on with the Liu family? Was it Liu Huimin alone, or did the whole family know about it?"
He wouldn't normally do something so outrageous and disrespectful.
He must have drunk quite a bit of alcohol, which led to his impulse overcoming his rationality and making such a late-night visit.
Qiao Xi looked at him and said softly, "I think so."
She wanted to know whether the entire Liu family was accomplices or whether it was Liu Huimin alone who did it.
Do they know the truth?
If she knew everything, she would treat those so-called blood relatives equally and would not have to be polite to them in the future.
She is not a heartless person, but she has a clear distinction between love and hate.
She couldn't hate Xu Yunye as much as she hated Liu Huimin, and her feelings towards the young and old in the Liu family were also different.
Old Chen turned the steering wheel and drove towards the Liu family's old house.
This time, he drove very fast.
When the car arrived at the front door of the Liu family's old house, a security guard came with a walkie-talkie to report.
This Rolls-Royce, with its familiar license plate number, was the Liu family's primary concern. After learning Qiao Xi's true identity, the Liu family dared not neglect her.
"Old lady, head of the family! The Huo family is here!"
The security guard notified the villa area, and the maids delivered the news soon.
The Liu family members who were drinking night tea in the living room were stunned for a moment.
Liu Zongquan and the old lady were troubled by their worries and couldn't sleep, so they just drank tea and chatted. Liu Huimin had just returned after a day of running around outside. Her face was full of worry, and she was struggling with whether to tell her family about Qiao Xi's registration.
When she heard that the Huo family had arrived, the teacup in her hand shook, and the scalding tea scalded the back of her hand.
The maid quickly handed over a towel wrapped in ice.
The old lady complained distressedly: "You are so old but you are still like a child. It makes me worry."
"Mom, I'm fine!"
Liu Huimin bit her lip and asked the maid, "Who's here from the Huo family? Is Qiao Xi here?"
"She's here. She came with the second young master of the Huo family."
Old Lady Liu was very excited: "Quick! Please come in!"
"Tell the kitchen to prepare a midnight snack and wake up Chef Jiang; he's the best cook! You... also prepare a pot of rose tea and some snacks that the girls love."
Her eyes were filled with joy.
In the old lady's view, Qiao Xi's willingness to come to her house meant that her attitude had softened.
Maybe he is here to recognize his relatives!
All the lights in the Liu family's old house lit up.
The maids prepared in an orderly manner, and even Liu Zongquan and the old lady of the Liu family had a look of relief on their faces.
Only Liu Huimin felt a heavy weight on her heart, as if a heavy stone had been weighing on her. She frowned, her heart racing. She was worried that Du Juan would tell Qiao Xi the truth about her application.
I also understand Qiao Xi's attitude towards the Liu family. How could she possibly visit them?
But Liu Huimin held a glimmer of hope in her heart.
What if?
What if Qiao Xi is here to recognize her relatives?
Her adoptive father died early, Zhao Yuzhen remarried, and only her grandmother was with her. She longed for the warmth of her family, and suddenly she figured it out?
Liu Huimin took a deep breath, her fingers trembling with nervousness.
“Here it comes, here it comes!”
"Second Master Huo, Young Madam."
There were voices coming from outside. This was the first time Qiao Xi came to visit after his life story was exposed.
But it was at night.
When Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou walked in hand in hand, they saw that the Liu family was on high alert.
"child."
The old lady of the Liu family came forward and said, "Come and sit down."
"Thanks."
Qiao Xi's emotions didn't show on her face, and Huo Xingzhou's expression was also indifferent. The two of them sat on the sofa politely, their behavior very distant.
Everyone sat down.
Liu Huimin looked at Qiao Xi eagerly and placed the exquisite pastries on the coffee table in front of her: "Xixi, these are very famous pastries in Haicheng, specially made in the kitchen."
She poured Qiao Xi another cup of rose tea: "Girls drink rose tea for beauty and beauty, so don't drink strong tea at night."
Seeing how attentive and humble she was, Qiao Xi found it really hard to imagine that she had done such a vicious thing behind her back.
If she was not Liu Huimin's daughter, would she still receive her kindness and guilt?
Qiao Xi sat next to Huo Xingzhou and said calmly, "I don't drink tea. I'm disturbing you so late at night because I have something I want to verify."
She was polite and unfamiliar with them.
Huo Xingzhou sat beside her, looking dignified and self-possessed. He was her backer and confidence.
Old Lady Liu looked at her lovingly and said, "Child, tell me. If there's anything you need our help with, just tell me."
Qiao Xi looked around and said, "It's about the Chinese Medicine Grand Ceremony Needle Testing Conference."
"I will be participating in a Traditional Chinese Medicine Needle Trial Conference soon, but I didn't submit my registration information on my own initiative. I'd like to ask if you have any involvement in this matter."
The words fell.
The old lady and Liu Zongqun looked solemn. She was actually forced to participate in this grand ceremony of traditional Chinese medicine.
I had hoped that Lu Bannong would not bother with a junior, but who would have thought that Qiao Xi would actually go down this path.
wrong.
She came to the Liu family to question them!
The old lady spoke hurriedly, "Child, have you misunderstood something? We in the Liu family are busy trying to figure out a solution, so how could we possibly interfere with your registration? We owe you a debt when you saved Zong Yun. Don't worry, we in the Liu family will do everything we can, even if it means bankrupting ourselves, to keep you safe."
Old Mrs. Liu was heartbroken.
Why did I still take this path!
What if I lose in the needle testing competition?
Liu Zongquan even stated: "I will immediately ask someone to remove you from the list."
Qiao Xi shook her head. "It's useless. The list has already been published. If I withdraw now, I will lose my reputation in this industry and won't be able to survive. This isn't a problem that can be solved by power. I've decided to participate! I came here just to get the truth!"
"I can't participate!"
Old Lady Liu said with a bitter face, "The consequences of losing are too serious, not to mention you are still young! There are so many experts out there, you are likely to lose."
Liu Zongquan's face was solemn. "Are you suspecting that our Liu family had tampered with your registration? How could we..."
It seemed that they were not aware of the situation. Somehow, Qiao Xi felt a sudden sense of relief in her heart.
Finally, her eyes fell on Liu Huimin.
Her face was pale and her hair on her forehead was wet with cold sweat.
"Ms. Liu."
She couldn't say the word "Mom".
Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said, "I received a call today saying that you and Ma Hongwen, the vice president of the Haicheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, secretly colluded to submit my registration information. I didn't realize I was registered until the list was announced on the internal forum."
She pressed on, "Excuse me, is this true? Are you behind this?"
Qiao Xi's words were like the sharpest knife, stabbing Liu Huimin so hard that she couldn't recover for a long time.
