Chapter 126: Hold your head high and hold your chest high, be beautiful and do violence
The next day.
Three hours before the charity auction, Huo Sijiao brought her makeup artist to the Huo family villa and went straight to the master bedroom.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here." She pushed open the door and asked, "My brother is not here?"
Qiao Xi had just finished taking a shower, and she came out wiping her wet long hair and said, "He's busy at the company, he'll come back to pick us up later."
The entire second branch of the Huo family will be present at tonight's charity auction.
"You are really a working animal." Huo Sijiao said with emotion, "Let the makeup artist put on your makeup first."
"Um."
Qiao Xi asked hesitantly, "I heard that everyone has to prepare items for the annual Rongde auction. Do you think this is okay?"
She took out a crystal clear topaz from the drawer of her dressing table. It was the one Zhao Yuzhen had given her.
"This is topaz."
Huo Sijiao is knowledgeable and can tell that something is good at first glance.
"Sister-in-law, where did you get this good stuff? It feels as smooth as fat and has a pure color. It's round in the shape of a teardrop and quite heavy." It's worth at least a million.
Huo Sijiao knew that Qiao Xi's family was poor, and that her expensive jewelry and clothes were all given to her by her brother and mother. She had never seen this piece of topaz before.
Qiao Xi's eyes were dim: "Zhao Yuzhen gave it to me. She said it was mine. It's useless for me to keep it..."
"She still has some conscience." Huo Sijiao said, "The Rongde auction is very large, and generally speaking, you can enter if the auction items are estimated to be worth more than 100,000 yuan."
"That's good."
Qiao Xi was also relieved.
"Speaking of topaz, the Liu family will definitely participate in the auction this time." Huo Sijiao said loudly.
"Is there any connection?"
"I heard they were looking for the piece that Second Uncle Liu lost. He had worn it since he was a child. The Liu family is superstitious and they think that finding it will help Second Uncle Liu wake up. So they never miss any auction, big or small."
Huo Sijiao found it strange when she thought about it, but then she remembered that when Huo Xingzhou was unconscious, their family even believed the happy news.
I can understand their feelings as well.
Sometimes we can do anything ridiculous for our family.
Qiao Xi carefully placed the topaz in a small wooden box and put it in her handbag.
…
At six o'clock in the afternoon, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
Chen Xun didn't show much respect in his eyes, he just said politely: "Madam, the car is downstairs."
"good."
Qiao Xi was dressed up, wearing a Chanel-style suit jacket over her skirt to cover the exposed skin on her shoulders.
"Sister-in-law, stop covering yourself. Everyone is dressed beautifully, this is fashion!" Seeing this, Huo Sijiao snatched her coat and threw it back into the master bedroom.
Qiao Xi was unable to stop him, and Chen Xun beside her urged him again: "Madam, Mr. Huo is waiting for you in the car."
Qiao Xi glanced at him, picked up her skirt and followed him downstairs, saying, "Assistant Chen, I heard that when you were discussing business in the capital, you were the only one who could enter and leave Mr. Huo's room?"
Chen Xunyi was nervous and said quickly, "Yes."
"I received a video sent to me by Miss Xu, which involved my husband's privacy." Qiao Xi knew that Chen Xun was Huo Xingzhou's right-hand man, so she didn't break up with him, but just criticized him.
"Things like this affect our relationship as husband and wife. I don't want to receive them again." Qiao Xi said seriously.
Chen Xun understood that this was a warning from Qiao Xi, but also an opportunity.
He was filled with shock and said respectfully, "Yes, Madam."
He was very regretful at this moment that he helped Xu Xingluo because of personal relationships, which was not good for his promotion. How many people envied the position of the president's special assistant, which was like a step to heaven.
Chen Xun walked out of the villa quickly and opened the car door politely: "Young Madam, please get in the car."
"Thank you."
Qiao Xi said softly.
She raised her eyes and saw the man concentrating on handling official business in the car. She lifted her skirt and sat gently next to him.
Huo Xingzhou closed his laptop and rubbed his sore temples.
"Let me press it for you." Qiao Xi stretched out her hand and gently pressed the acupoints on his head.
The white and slender arms were swaying right in front of the man, and Huo Xingzhou could see the spring scenery in full view by just lowering his head slightly.
This skirt is really sexy.
Qiao Xi usually dressed simply and gently, rarely looking so bright and charming.
"Who picked the dress?" Huo Xingzhou asked lazily.
Qiao Xi paused and said, "Jiao Jiao ordered it."
"It's a bit cold in the auction hall," he kindly reminded.
But Qiao Xi felt that the man in front of her thought she was wearing too little.
"Oh." She lowered her head, feeling a little disappointed. She thought he would say something, but it turned out to be just a lukewarm reply.
Huo Xingzhou noticed her mood and pinched her cheek: "What are you looking forward to?"
He could see through all her little thoughts.
"No." Her red lips were filled with cinnabar-colored lipstick, looking moist and beautiful.
Huo Xingzhou moved closer and said in a low voice, "Very beautiful."
Qiao Xi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked up into the deep eyes of the deep pool, and saw the surprise and admiration in them. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her almond eyes were also sparkling.
"real?"
"Um."
Qiao Xi pursed her red lips, thinking of what Huo Sijiao and Shu Xue had said, that cuteness is nothing compared to sexiness.
Men are visual animals.
Qiao Xi felt uncomfortable under his burning gaze. She turned her head and shouted out the window, "Jiao Jiao, get in the car!"
"Here I come, sister-in-law!"
Huo Sijiao walked quickly into the car, and a huge light bulb was squeezed into the back seat, breaking the ambiguity that had just risen.
"Brother, is my sister-in-law beautiful? Are you staring at her? My sister-in-law will definitely be stunning tonight!" She said proudly, as if it were herself.
She was already covering her cheeks and imagining the scene. Anyway, Xu Xingluo would never be able to wear such sexy clothes in her life unless she had breast pads.
"Jiaojiao, you are exaggerating." Qiao Xi stopped her from talking too much.
"Sister-in-law, you are beautiful, but you don't dress up, so you are outdone by those people." Huo Sijiao must make her confident.
Qiao Xi's bare face is pure and bright, but with the help of makeup and clothes, she is transformed into a charming and beautiful woman.
But her clear eyes form a huge contrast with her outfit, creating a kind of contradictory beauty.
"Sister-in-law, hold your head high! Show us everything we have! If I hadn't taken you to the store, I wouldn't have known you had a C."
As Qiao Xi listened to her increasingly outrageous remarks, she almost wanted to use her head to grab the ground.
Huo Xingzhou glanced at her with the remaining eyes, and it seemed that the supplements prepared by Aunt Qian were useful.
"Honey, I'm a little carsick. Let me take a rest first." Qiao Xi found a very lame excuse and leaned on the cushion to take a nap.
Huo Xingzhou gently moved her head with his hand and leaned it on his shoulder.
"I'll call you when we get there."
"Yeah." Qiao Xi felt sweet in her heart.
Huo Sijiao covered her eyes and said, "When it comes to showing affection, who can compare to you two? I'll sit with my parents later, and I don't want to be blinded by you."
Huo Xingzhou said calmly: "It's best not to be a light bulb."
