Chapter 677 The Nice Guy Speaks Again
In the Huo family villa.
Du Juan paced back and forth at the door of the villa. She had returned from the funeral home early and saw the news about Qiao Xi fainting on the news.
I was extremely anxious.
She knew what Cheng Han's death meant to Qiao Xi. This child was sentimental, and she still hadn't gotten over Grandma Qiao's death.
Now her master, who was like a family member to her, has passed away, and he might have died at the hands of the same family. Who knows how much pain she is in!
How can one not hate this!
"Don't walk back and forth. It's making my eyes dizzy." Huo Jiancheng comforted her beside her, "With the boat here, nothing will happen."
Du Juan snorted coldly: "I know you don't care about this daughter-in-law. You looked down on her from the beginning. You want that little bitch Xu Xingluo to enter our Huo family. I get angry just looking at you."
Huo Jiancheng looked at her fierce look and immediately softened: "I don't care about Qiao Xi, I just hope you don't worry."
Du Juan warned: "Huo Jiancheng, we finally made it to the imperial capital this time, don't make Qiao Xi angry!"
Huo Jiancheng nodded repeatedly: "I won't, don't worry. You want to divorce me because of Qiao Xi, how dare I offend her."
Suddenly, there was a sound of car not far from the villa.
Huo Jiancheng said as if he had seen a savior: "The person is back!"
Dujuan took a few steps forward and rushed to meet the car before it stopped.
Old Chen got out of the car first and opened the back door.
Huo Xingzhou walked out with his long legs, followed by Qiao Xi who was unharmed.
When she saw Dujuan, she called out, "Mom, why are you waiting outside?"
Du Juan's words were a little hesitant. "You...you...didn't the news say that you fainted from grief?"
Qiao Xi glanced at Huo Jiancheng, who was also curious and surprised, behind Du Juan. Thinking of the secret between her and Huo Xingzhou, she said, "He recovered on the way back. He's fine now."
She hadn't meant to lie.
But this father-in-law has a criminal record.
He had helped outsiders to deceive Huo Xingzhou before, so the fact that Cheng Han was not dead should not make him suspicious.
Du Juan pulled Qiao Xi home with a distressed look on her face. "Everyone will die eventually. Mr. Cheng is over eighty years old, so he has no regrets in his life. Don't blame yourself too much, and don't be too sad. We who are still alive need to look forward."
She really treated Qiao Xi as her own daughter.
"Um."
Qiao Xi's nose felt sore.
"Good boy, you still have us. In my heart, you and Jiaojiao are the same. You can tell me if you have any grievances."
Du Juan's eyes were red. She cried when she heard the news of Cheng Han's death. Then she thought about what Qiao Xi should do.
Qiao Xi's throat tightened, "Mom, marrying into your family is the luckiest thing that ever happened to me."
"oops."
Du Juan raised her hand and wiped her tears and said, "It is obviously our Huo family's luck to marry you."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to the living room, and Xiaoyuan placed the tea and snacks on the coffee table.
Qiao Xi was holding a piece of dessert, and her eyes met Huo Xingzhou's.
Huo Xingzhou sat beside her and looked at Du Juan and said, "I'll have Old Chen arrange a special plane for you to return to Haicheng later. The imperial capital is in a lot of trouble right now. If you continue to stay here, it will distract me. Haicheng needs you two elders to be here to take charge."
Before Du Juan responded, Huo Jiancheng was a little dissatisfied: "Are you in such a hurry? It wouldn't be a problem for us to stay in the imperial capital for a few days, right?"
Du Juan slapped him on the shoulder and said coldly, "Son, just leave if we're told to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? We still have the old man from the Huo family and that Wang Fengxian in Haicheng. They're constantly making small moves."
"My sister-in-law and my father didn't do anything excessive." Huo Jiancheng retorted in a low voice.
"Heh." Du Juan sneered. "Using our second-house connections to campaign for reduced sentences for Huo Jianjun and his son isn't too much. Have you forgotten how the first-house plotted against us?"
Dujuan reached out and twisted his ear without giving him any face.
Huo Jiancheng gasped in pain and lost face in front of the younger generation.
Du Juan made a quick decision: "Arrange a private plane now, and we will return to Haicheng immediately!"
She couldn't stay in the imperial capital and hold her children back.
Huo Jiancheng had selfish motives and muttered, "That's too hasty."
He thought that the conflict between the first and second wives had ended for so long, and now Huo Xingzhou was no longer the same.
Then let him off the hook!
If he could say a few good words in front of his son and reduce his eldest brother's sentence, the old man would feel much better.
He was giving off that air of foolish filial piety again.
Qiao Xi sat aside silently and did not get involved in this matter.
Huo Xingzhou said very bluntly: "Dad, if you feel sorry for them, I can send you in to see them. You can live with Old Man Huo in the old house in the future. Just consider it as our own separation."
It is because he has such a father that he has encountered so many things.
Even though nothing was left of him after being schemed against, Huo Jiancheng was still helping others count money.
"You're not here to offer your condolences. You're taking this opportunity to plead for mercy." Huo Xingzhou said with a cold face, "Old Chen, apply for a flight route in advance and depart as soon as possible."
"Yes, Master."
The atmosphere in the living room was a little tense. Huo Jiancheng sighed and said nothing more.
The private plane arrived quickly, and Du Juan and Huo Jiancheng were arranged to board the plane and fly directly to Haicheng.
Qiao Xi stood in the master bedroom of the villa, gazing at the sky, and then she began to speak: "My father-in-law really has no moral principles when it comes to doing things. He always plays the good guy. But no one appreciates his kindness!"
Huo Xingzhou stretched out his hand and held her waist. "Don't worry about him. He won't cause any trouble."
"Um."
Qiao Xi turned around and looked at him and said, "What should we do next?"
Huo Xingzhou raised the corner of his mouth, "Pretending to be sick! It's just right to take advantage of these few days to wait for the results of the paternity test, and you should also treat Grandpa Cheng well."
When talking about Cheng Han, Qiao Xi's heart was full of fighting spirit.
"Don't worry, I will learn the Lingshu Nine Needles carefully and try to get Grandpa Cheng back to normal as soon as possible!"
It would be very interesting to see Cheng Han alive appear in front of the Lu family.
Qiao Xi rolled her eyes, biting her cheek in confusion, "It's a pity that the Chinese Medicine Association's regular meeting is still half a month away. We still have to wait that long."
Huo Xingzhou tapped her waist lightly with his fingers. "It doesn't have to be brought up at a regular meeting. If I remember correctly, any member of the association can propose an emergency meeting if something major happens. The president has more authority. As long as Lu Bannong is greedy, we'll slap him in the face even faster."
He seemed to have predicted something.
greedy?
Qiao Xi's little face wrinkled.
How can Lu Bannong be considered greedy?
Soon, she found out.
