Chapter 199 The Real Culprit of the Fire
It looks a little familiar.
This topaz must be worth a lot of money.
Xu Yunye slowly stood up and walked to her side, saying, "Where did you get your jade?"
His eyes were fixed on the topaz around her neck.
Qiao Xi glanced at him casually and walked around him impatiently. She didn't want to say another word to Xu Yunye. She reached out to tidy up the wardrobe in the room and was pricked by the exposed nail.
hiss.
Qiao Xi's fingers were bleeding.
Xu Yunye lowered his head in a daze, his index finger was numb.
Just at that moment.
A crazy idea came into his mind and his brain became a mess.
Was he picked up by the Xu family?
"Hey, Qiao Xi, did you pick up that piece of jade? It seems my second uncle lost a similar piece when he had a car accident."
Qiao Xi turned her head and glanced at him, then took off the topaz and threw it to him: "I'll give it back to you. Can you leave now?"
"I did not mean that."
Xu Yunye was a little at a loss. He handed the topaz to her and said, "I haven't seen that jade before. I just glanced at the photo and said it casually. Keep it for yourself and don't throw it away."
Even if it was lost by the Liu family, it doesn’t matter.
After so many years, who knows how many owners it has changed. Maybe it was given to Qiao Xi by Huo Xingzhou.
Anyway, my second uncle has woken up, so my grandmother doesn’t have to pursue any superstitions, and this piece of jade is of no use anymore.
The Liu family’s jewelry store has a lot of jade of this quality.
Qiao Xi casually put it into her pocket. This was something Zhao Yuzhen left for her. She loved and hated it.
Qiao Xi picked up all the things, turned around and left.
"Qiao Xi, are you leaving just like that?"
Qiao Xi ignored him.
She wants to go back to the hospital.
Xu Yunye ran up and grabbed her long hair fiercely. He looked into Qiao Xi's cold eyes and said, "Oh, there's something dirty in your hair!"
He just had an impulse, a very ridiculous impulse, the kind that he would go all the way to.
He held a few strands of Qiao Xi's hair tightly in his palm and said softly, "Be careful on the road."
Qiao Xi glared at him expressionlessly and walked out of the clinic.
She took out her phone and called a taxi, which arrived quickly. She opened the car door in the rain, her hair and clothes getting soaked.
The taxi driver turned on the radio and saw that she was fair and pretty and wanted to chat with her, but when he saw that she ignored him, he stopped talking.
The car splashed water.
Drive to the hospital.
She paid the fare and got off the bus, holding Grandma Qiao's clothes and comb in her arms and shielding herself from the pouring rain. The puddles beneath her feet splashed.
At the hospital entrance, a tall man holding a black umbrella walked quickly to her side.
Shielded her from the rain.
Qiao Xi looked at him for a long time, the cold rain blocked by the black umbrella.
I originally thought.
After this rain, you won’t need anyone’s umbrella anymore.
But I still crave the warmth around him.
Huo Xingzhou was silent. He forcefully pulled her into his arms and walked forward with her in his arms.
Qiao Xi's petite figure was enveloped by him. She wanted to struggle but couldn't get out of his embrace. His brows were lowered, and his handsome features were expressionless.
The embrace is warm and reliable.
She wanted to trust him.
But I can't forgive myself.
Even before her grandmother's body was cold, she was still indulging in petty love affairs.
Huo Xingzhou brought her into the room, took a clean towel and covered her head, wiping her wet hair. Half of his face was in the shadows, his thick eyelashes drooped, and the red mole on his neck was particularly eye-catching.
He raised his eyes slightly, his eyes were calm but seemed to contain a hint of resentment.
He ignored Qiao Xi's resistance, picked up her collar with his slender fingers, unbuttoned and unzipped it.
"Huo..."
Qiao Xi held his hand.
He tied her hands behind her back and stripped off all her wet clothes. With a cold face, he put the hospital gown on her and buttoned it up one by one.
Finally, he let go and took the hair dryer out of the drawer and plugged it in.
"sit."
His eyes were indifferent, and he said nothing. Qiao Xi pursed her lips, intimidated by his cold aura, and sat down obediently on the edge of the bed.
Huo Xingzhou turned on the hair dryer and a whirring sound was heard.
He stood beside her, and when Qiao Xi looked up, she could see his elegant and peerless profile. His slender fingers ran through her hair, and warm wind blew on her head.
Makes people sleepy.
Qiao Xi was physically and mentally exhausted. It was a rare opportunity to experience such a gentle and peaceful atmosphere, so she slowly closed her eyes.
She sadly discovered that she was deeply dependent on this man.
Maybe last night was another of Xu Xingluo's plans.
After her grandmother was buried, she wanted to have a frank talk with him.
She didn't know when sleepiness came over her, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep in his arms.
Huo Xingzhou carefully put the hair dryer aside and gently stroked her cheek with his fingers. In less than two days, she looked much more haggard and had visibly lost weight.
He ran his fingers through her soft hair and gently pushed the strands of hair behind her ears.
He picked up Qiao Xi and slowly placed her on the hospital bed.
The movements are gentle.
She was covered with a thin blanket.
He didn't ask her where she had been tonight, nor did he ask what her plans were. He also didn't show any panic in front of her.
In this case, if she didn't want to speak, he wouldn't force her.
"Young Master..."
At the door, Lao Chen gently opened the door and called softly.
Huo Xingzhou frowned and walked out quickly. He closed the door gently and looked at Old Chen and Zhou Yu who suddenly appeared.
"Master, did the young mistress come back on her own? I just found out that she took a taxi to the clinic."
"It's okay, she's asleep."
Zhou Yu looked at Huo Xingzhou and couldn't help but say, "Old Chen and I found something. Guess what it is?"
Huo Xingzhou's face was calm, and he looked at him coldly: "Stop talking nonsense."
"Okay."
Zhou Yu regained his composure and took out a few receipts and placed them in front of Huo Xingzhou. "This is the total cost of Wang Lang's father's hospitalization. His father doesn't have medical insurance. The surgery will cost over 100,000 yuan. Add in the pre- and post-surgery checkups and subsequent rehabilitation, and it will cost at least 200,000 yuan."
"We checked Wang Lang's bank statements and found a deposit of 200,000 yuan a few days ago into an account in the imperial capital. I traced the source and found it was cut off."
The other party came prepared.
But he is not afraid of their investigation and is very arrogant.
Imperial capital?
Huo Xingzhou's eyes were as cold as snow, and the chill that surrounded him was so pervasive that it almost froze him.
"Xingzhou, I think it's Xiang Huai. Last time at the equestrian club, Qiao Xi made him lose face. He can't touch you, so he can only start with Qiao Xi."
Zhou Yu expressed his inner speculation, "Perhaps Xu Xingluo was also involved. Xiang Huai is just her dog. The Jinling Hotel's calculations seemed to be a coordinated attack by the two of them, preventing you from getting to the clinic in time."
Poor means!
But it works!
Very disgusting!
Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel like vomiting.
The chill in Huo Xingzhou's heart was spreading, and a faint anger was rising.
