Chapter 584: Warm, sandalwood-scented him
Old Madam Xie raised her voice a bit and questioned Xie Xubai, "You little bastard, are you really cooperating just for Mr. Huo's sake? Don't you like it at all?"
Huo Sijiao also looked at him, hoping that the matter could be resolved as soon as possible.
Xie Xubai sat upright on the sofa, looking like a gentleman with dignity and self-possession.
He spoke slowly: "Miss Huo and I really don't have any special relationship. I just helped a little last night, grandma, don't misunderstand."
Hearing him say this, Huo Sijiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Xie became restless!
She suppressed her anger and glared at Xie Xubai again and again, then suddenly changed the tone: "Jiaojiao, it's hard for you to come here to explain for this brat. Otherwise, I would have thought he was messing around outside. Thank you for the trouble. Since you say so, I will forgive him."
After the misunderstanding was resolved, Huo Sijiao completely let go of the heavy burden in her heart and smiled brightly: "It was my fault that I got Mr. Xie into trouble."
The old lady rolled her eyes and said, "If you call me Grandma Xie, then I will take it seriously. I don't have a granddaughter, and I feel close to you. How about staying for dinner tonight?"
Huo Sijiao wasn't the type to be coy, her pretty face was all smiles: "Okay, sorry to bother you, Grandma."
"Hey! You must come to my house more often and keep me, an old lady, company."
"Okay, I'll come when I'm free."
"You can't go back on your word."
"Whoever lies is a puppy. I, Huo Sijiao, keep my word. I will come to see grandma in the future. My sister-in-law wants to thank grandma for treating her illness, so I'll come with her."
Old Madam Xie was a little disappointed, but then she thought that as long as the person could come, she could just let the brat stay at home.
Boiling a frog in warm water.
Take it step by step.
Huo Sijiao was in a good mood and looked at Xie Xubai with some pride in her eyes.
You see, she managed to get Madam Xie to forgive him the punishment of kneeling in the ancestral hall.
That bright and flamboyant look was very endearing. Xie Xubai looked at her, his heart slightly moved, but his eyes and eyebrows were calm and gentle.
Two hours later.
The Xie family’s dinner began.
The long table was filled with fresh and delicious Haicheng specialties, which surprised Huo Sijiao greatly.
After the meal, she and the old lady of the Xie family became familiar with each other. They got along very harmoniously and seemed to have no grudges at all, just like real granddaughter.
Huo Sijiao's personality is lively, straightforward and simple.
The more the Xie family looked at them, the more they liked them. Even Xie Xubai's father nodded repeatedly and said privately that the Huo family was a good match!
"Grandma, please don't send me off. Take good care of yourself."
"Okay, don't forget to come and see me! Xu Bai, make sure you get him home safely."
The "grandparents" said goodbye to each other at the door of the villa. Huo Sijiao waved and followed Xie Xubai out.
After dinner, it got dark.
The streetlights outside all lit up, lengthening the shadows of the young men and women. Special Assistant Ning followed from a distance, not wanting to be a third wheel.
They slowly walked to the gate of Xie Mansion.
Huo Sijiao still had a smile on her face. "Grandma Xie is so easygoing, completely different from my own grandmother. You should have heard about the internal fighting in the Huo family. My grandmother and grandfather both favored the eldest wife and ignored me."
She really likes Madam Xie. The fate between people is so wonderful.
Xie Xubai opened the back seat for her: "I'll take you home."
"Actually, there's no need. It's safe for me to take a taxi back." Huo Sijiao looked up at Xie Xubai and said, "Mr. Xie, your whole family is so kind. This misunderstanding is finally resolved. You don't know I didn't sleep all night last night..."
She smiled a little embarrassedly.
After there were no more vague rumors about her and Xie Xubai, Huo Sijiao's relationship with him became natural.
"The rumors outside will fade away after a while, so you don't have to worry."
Xie Xubai stood before her, his tone tinged with an imperceptible gentleness. His eyes, concealing hidden emotions, also appeared somewhat deep and calm.
"Um!"
Huo Sijiao smiled and nodded!
Suddenly a delicate scolding!
"Huo Sijiao!"
Chi!
The fiery red Ferrari drove straight towards Huo Sijiao and braked suddenly.
Huo Sijiao lost her balance when she dodged, and was pulled into Xie Xubai's arms. The tip of her nose was filled with the calming and pleasant scent of sandalwood. For a moment, her mind went blank, and only her sense of smell and touch were working according to her instinct.
Hot and fragrant, Xie Xubai.
"Huo Sijiao!"
The Ferrari's door opened, and Pei Chun walked over angrily, glaring at them, "What are you doing!"
How can you hug and kiss so much?
She heard a rumor that Huo Sijiao was visiting Xie Xubai for the first time as his girlfriend, and the Xie family was very satisfied.
Pei Chun suddenly couldn't sit still anymore.
Seeing them so intimate now, she felt as sour as if she had eaten a lemon. She rudely walked up to Huo Sijiao and pulled her away, saying, "Stay away from Xu Bai. Don't hug him."
Xie Xubai hugged Huo Sijiao and pulled her back.
Huo Sijiao hissed and said, "I sprained my ankle."
There were steps on the side of the road. She had just tried to avoid Pei Chun's car in a hurry, and her high-heeled boots had sprained.
Xie Xubai supported her, frowning: "Does it hurt a lot? I'll take you to the hospital."
Huo Sijiao wrinkled her face in pain: "My sister-in-law can treat it, just go home."
"She's faking it!"
Pei Chun's cheeks flushed the color of liver. "She's just pretending to be pitiful to seduce you, Xu Bai! How could you be deceived by a woman like that?"
Huo Sijiao puffed her cheeks and said angrily, "Yes, I was pretending! I have to thank you for this! If your car hadn't hit me, I wouldn't have had the chance to pretend to be weak!"
"you……"
When it comes to talking, Pei Chun really can't beat her.
Xie Xubai looked at Pei Chun, his eyes slightly cold and warning: "Miss Pei, I'm not that familiar with you. Please don't call me that. The surveillance camera at the street corner captured your intentional injury just now. If it weren't for the fact that the elders of our two families are old friends, I wouldn't tolerate you anymore."
The two grandmothers were close friends and had always been close.
Pei Chun opened his mouth, his eyes watering: "Don't you like me that much?"
"dislike."
He picked up Huo Sijiao in front of Pei Chun.
Huo Sijiao exclaimed, staring at him in astonishment, still dazed. He then carefully placed her in the back seat of the car, and he got in.
"Ningyuan, come and drive!"
Bang!
The car door was ruthlessly closed.
Huo Sijiao looked at Pei Chun, whose expression was distorted and helpless outside the car, then turned her gaze back to Xie Xubai.
Xie Xubai said calmly, "It's just a temporary solution. Sorry."
Huo Sijiao nodded blankly, "I understand, I understand. We're helping each other, and this is my way of repaying the Xie family for their hospitality." She paused for a moment before asking, "Xie Xubai, do you really hate Pei Chun's behavior?"
She was persistent, just like how she was chasing after Shen Xuanzhi.
Is it true that if a man doesn't like you, no matter how much you give, it's useless?
When she stood from the perspective of an observer, she suddenly understood why Shen Xuanzhi said he hated her.
It turns out it’s really annoying.
Xie Xubai was such a smart man that he immediately knew the purpose of her inquiry.
He turned his head, his pupils dark brown as he looked at her seriously and said.
