Chapter 379 Huo Xingzhou, Come Closer
"Huo Er."
Zhou Yu's voice came from outside the door, "Are you free?"
Huo Xingzhou put his clothes in order and walked over to open the door. Zhou Yu glanced at Qiao Xi inside and greeted her, then said to Huo Xingzhou, "Xu Xingluo wants to see you, and only you."
Zhou Yu thought to himself, this Xu Xingluo is quite good at disgusting people.
"knew."
Huo Xingzhou said lightly.
Qiao Xi said tactfully, "Then I'll go to the banquet hall. It wouldn't be nice to be absent for too long. After all, I'm the star of today's banquet. I'll go and see..."
"Qiao Xi."
Huo Xingzhou stopped her and said, "The Liu family has given you a great gift today. They've given you their centuries-old jewelry business as a birthday present. I was just about to tell you about this."
Qiao Xi opened her red lips slightly, as if she was hallucinating.
"Jewelry shop?"
Qiao Xi was shocked.
She was no longer the inexperienced country girl she once was. She now understood the significance of the Liu family's jewelry store. It contained antiques and treasures collected by generations of the Liu family, and they were priceless.
"Yes, as long as you sign, the jewelry store will be yours..."
"What about the agreement?"
"I'll let Lao Jin give it to you. You can make your own decision. Whether you want to keep it or refuse it, I have no opinion."
"oh."
After hearing what he said, Qiao Xi responded obediently.
Huo Xingzhou soothed her, "I'll be back soon, don't run around. The cruise ship is safe now, don't be scared."
"I know."
…
Ten minutes later.
Qiao Xi took the agreement from Jin Kai in a brown paper bag. The documents inside were thick. She opened it and took a look. It turned out to be the Liu family's jewelry store and its chain of jewelry stores.
This is a hot potato.
She has no shortage of money now. The people introduced by Sun Shao are all very wealthy, and any consultation fee is enough to keep her going for a long time.
Qiao Xi walked to the door of the lounge next door, knocked gently and pushed it open.
There were several female elders and Xu Yunye in the room.
Liu Zongyun went home early due to feeling unwell, while Liu Zongqun was also entertaining guests in the banquet hall.
"mom."
Qiao Xi walked to Du Juan and called out, then looked at Liu Huimin.
She had already changed into a formal dress, and the sour smell in the room had dissipated considerably. Xu Yunye was currently tending to her wounds. Liu Huimin was nearly fifty years old but well-maintained. The sight of her delicate skin rubbing against the rough deck, leaving a bloody mess, was truly a bit frightening.
Her knee injury affected her walking.
Liu Huimin was very happy to see her. She smiled at her with tears in her eyes.
Qiao Xi had an indescribable feeling in her heart, but she still handed over the brown paper bag, "You Liu family should take this thing back. I can't accept such a valuable thing."
Liu Huimin's eyes dimmed.
The Liu family felt that she was unwilling to accept the gift and they still had a deep grudge against the Liu family.
"You won't even accept a gift?" Liu Huimin was very sad. "This was originally prepared for you. The girls in the Liu family will inherit the Liu family jewelry store. Xingluo always wanted it before, but I never gave it to her. Now I think about it, this is something destined for you, something that Xu Xingluo has never touched."
Liu Huimin couldn't think of a better gift.
Girls all like precious jewelry and also want to have a jewelry box so that they can feel happy looking at the sparkling jewelry every day.
"I'm not a member of the Liu family, I don't want it." Qiao Xi said directly.
These words made Liu Huimin sad.
Du Juan, who was sitting nearby, tried to ease the atmosphere: "You should take this jewelry store back first. Don't put too much pressure on the child. Who would give such an expensive birthday gift? It's normal for Qiao Xi to refuse it."
It will probably take a long time for this mother and daughter to resolve their emotional ties.
"That's right. We didn't think it through."
Yang Yuerong held the child and nodded repeatedly.
Liu Huimin clutched the file bag, a forlorn expression on her face. She had never learned how to be a good mother, nor had she ever considered the question. She always wanted to offer what she considered the best: love.
But Qiao Xi is not Xu Xingluo, and is not that greedy.
Xu Yunye stood up, put the alcohol cotton and gauze aside, and took out a car key from his pocket.
He took Qiao Xi's hand and put it in her palm.
"If you don't accept the jewelry store's gift, you should definitely accept my gift." Xu Yunye looked at her deeply. "This is the key to my favorite motorcycle. I guess you haven't experienced the feeling of speeding in the wind. Come find me anytime."
Qiao Xi nodded and slowly clenched her hands.
The car keys felt a little uncomfortable in her palm. She knew everything Xu Yunye had done for her.
"Thanks."
Xu Yunye's eyes turned red, but he felt a little happy in his heart: "I saw scientific research that shows that the twin born later is the older brother. You must have had a hard life in the countryside before. Would it be different if you had a brother? Qiao Xi, don't compete with me for first place. I want to be your older brother and protect you."
Qiao Xi looked up at him, her throat was sore and she could hardly speak.
Her voice was very soft, "Yeah."
…
In the room at the corner of the corridor on the second floor of the banquet hall.
The atmosphere condenses.
Xu Xingluo was forced to sit on a chair, and two bodyguards restrained her movements.
Zhou Yu used some means to interrogate her, but Xu Xingluo insisted on seeing Huo Xingzhou. So Zhou Yu went to find Huo Xingzhou. When the door opened, Xu Xingluo was blinded by the glare of the light and it took a while for her to recover.
She stared at Huo Xingzhou and burst into tears. "You already knew it wasn't me who saved you ten years ago. Don't you feel anything for me? I spent my best years with you."
She really loves Huo Xingzhou.
I really can't control my own body.
Huo Xingzhou sneered after hearing this: "What about Xiang Huai? What about all those boyfriends you had abroad? Who did you spend your youth with? But all your exes have been busted now, arrested for eavesdropping on domestic secrets. You're completely hopeless."
Xu Xingluo cried bitterly: "Did you deliberately set up a trap to wait for me to come, just to avoid leaving any hidden dangers for Qiao Xi? Why do you love her so much! "
Qiao Xi easily got what she longed for, even the most distinguished family background was hers.
Xu Xingluo looked at him, tears streaming down her face as she asked, "Huo Xingzhou, if I died one day, would you feel the slightest bit of reluctance? Would you be moved?"
"Won't."
The man said mercilessly.
He didn't even try to coax him, and Zhou Yu watched anxiously. It was obvious that Xu Xingluo just wanted to get a few good words from Huo Xingzhou. If he coaxed him well, he would answer any questions.
I didn't expect Huo Xingzhou to be so cold-blooded.
Xu Xingluo laughed heartbreakingly, coughing repeatedly. She could even smell the blood spreading from her mouth. All her hopes were ruined. Huo Xingzhou didn't even give her a single bit of warmth.
Zhou Yu lowered his voice and said, "Try to coax her a little. Qiao Xi isn't here right now. Just say a few words so we can get more information. The fact that Xu Xingluo is still struggling with whether you love her or not at this point is enough to prove that she is sincere to you."
Huo Xingzhou's voice was calm. "Can your love and sex be separated? When Qiao Xi is not around, I can just coax other women? Zhou Yu, I think you are still not suitable for marriage."
Marriage is fidelity.
When Xu Xingluo heard his voice, tears slowly fell from the corners of her eyes.
She finally saw through Huo Xingzhou's preference for Qiao Xi and felt really regretful.
"Huo Xingzhou, I have one last question for you. If I hadn't left you during the car accident and had stayed with you through it, would you...would you have married me? Would we have been different?"
All the mistakes she could think of started from the car accident when she went abroad.
Zhou Yu said irritably, "Xu Xingluo, don't you understand yet? You're just like Xu Guangyao, seeking profit and avoiding harm. There's no such thing as if. If it happens again, you'll still go abroad. And if you stay in the country, Huo Xingzhou might not survive! Qiao Xi saved his life, don't you understand? You don't have that ability."
Zhou Yu’s words were too straightforward.
Xu Xingluo was so excited that her mind was broken. She gritted her teeth and said, "I want to hear Huo Xingzhou's answer."
Huo Xingzhou glanced at her and said calmly, "The engagement made by the elders on both sides should be fulfilled. But there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed. What Xu Guangyao did cannot be concealed forever, and I may not survive the car accident."
So, the ending is still not a happy one.
When Xu Xingluo heard this answer, she burst into tears.
That's enough!
Xu Xingluo took a deep breath and said, "I know who saved you ten years ago. Huo Xingzhou, come closer and I'll tell you."
