Chapter 179 Delivered to your door

As soon as the words fell.

These well-informed children from aristocratic families reacted immediately. They looked at Huo Xingzhou in shock and ambiguity, not expecting that he, who was always serious and arrogant, would make such a joke.

Xiang Huai's face turned livid and looked very ugly. Xu Xingluo's fingers were fiddling with her dress, and the jealous fire in her eyes wished she could burn Qiao Xi to ashes.

Qiao Xi's head lowered even more and her cheeks turned red.

How could Mr. Huo say such a thing so seriously and frankly?

But Huo Xingzhou refused to let Xiang Huai off easily: "What kind of horse do you think I am? A pure-blooded horse or a cold-blooded horse?"

"You are...shameless."

Xiang Huai squeezed out a word from between his teeth.

He never thought that Huo Xingzhou, who always looked innocent and bright, would actually say such words to help a village girl out of trouble.

He even degraded himself and compared himself to a horse.

Not far away, a young man with clear eyes and delicate appearance said, "Second Brother Huo is of course a rare and precious horse of 1.85 meters! Others cannot even touch it, but Doctor Qiao can ride it at will."

Qiao Xi really wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into and bury herself.

"Liu Yi!"

Xu Xingluo shouted angrily, "Is this what you should say? You are just a little kid, and you only say indecent things. When we get home, I will ask my uncle to teach you a lesson."

Liu Yi smiled brightly: "Cousin, I have already turned eighteen. You always complain to the elders, which is more like a child."

"you……"

"Me what? I won't play with you anymore."

Liu Yi stood up and walked to Qiao Xi, paused and said, "Doctor Qiao, she is from the Xu family and I am from the Liu family. I am different from her. I remember you saved my grandmother, my second uncle and my brother."

He said and left through the exit.

At such a young age, they can distinguish between good and bad better than adults.

He remembered Qiao Xi's kindness.

Xu Xingluo was so angry that his face turned pale and his eyes slowly turned red.

She has always been like this, if she is not right, she will start to act weak and tearful. But many men are fooled by this, they think that the masters should not bother with a little girl.

Xiang Huai comforted her in a low voice: "He is ignorant and has a treacherous attitude. Don't worry, I will always stand by you."

Qiao Xi was very puzzled as to why Xiang Huai was so nice to Xu Xingluo, as if he was willing to do anything unforgivable for her.

Huo Xingzhou poked a piece of watermelon with a small fork and stuffed it into her mouth.

Qiao Xi chewed it twice, sweet!

"It's delicious. Mr. Huo will eat it too."

"Um."

Huo Xingzhou stayed with her, not taking what happened to heart. The couple watched the equestrian performance indoors, and occasionally they would discuss it.

During the break of the equestrian show, Huo Xingzhou took Qiao Xi off the stage and asked the staff to bring the horse he kept in the stable over.

The black horse, whose whole body was pitch black and smooth, snorted. Seeing Huo Xingzhou, he stretched out his head and rubbed him, looking very intimate.

"Mr. Huo, what is the name of this horse?" Qiao Xi looked at him enviously.

It’s really majestic.

“It’s called Tianyuan.”

Before, no one had ever linked the naming of this horse to the Tianyuan Group until Huo Xingzhou's identity was exposed. People then knew that everything had already been revealed.

"Tianyuan, this name sounds very domineering."

Qiao Xi narrowed her eyes and tried to touch its mane.

So smooth and comfortable.

The horse had a good temper and allowed her to pet it without dodging.

"Go up and try it? I'll support you." Huo Xingzhou suggested.

Qiao Xi was a little nervous but eager to try, "I don't know how to do it."

She had only ridden old yellow oxen in her hometown, and there were few horses in such remote places.

The man raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Ride the same way you ride at night."

He held her slender waist with his strong arms, using the force to help her climb onto the horse.

Qiao Xi blushed as she sat on the horse. She held the reins with her hands and put her legs in the stirrups. With Huo Xingzhou guarding her, she felt a sense of freedom.

"Why don't you try running outside on the grass? It feels better there."

"good."

Huo Xingzhou led the horse out. Qiao Xi sat on the horse awkwardly. She could clearly feel several unfriendly glances falling on her.

Even without looking, you can tell that it must be Xiang Huai, Xu Xingluo and others.

When Xiang Huai saw this scene, anger surged in his heart.

During this time, he was in the capital dealing with orders from the Xiang family and the Zhong family. The Zhong family cancelled their cooperation with the Xiang family in the next quarter. After he investigated, he found out that the Zhong family had re-signed a contract with Huo Xingzhou.

Huo Xingzhou tore a piece of fat from Xiang Jia's mouth.

He was scolded by his family, and everyone said that he was not careful in choosing friends. They were clearly brothers who played together, but Huo Xingzhou actually took away their Xiang family's business.

Xiang Huai knew Huo Xingzhou's ambition to expand his business territory.

However, they didn't expect that the first step of Tianyuan Group's attack on the imperial capital would be to attack the Xiang family first!

Huo Xingzhou is too arrogant. He really treats the old aristocratic families in the imperial capital as sick cats!

He stood up and followed out quickly!

"Brother Xiang Huai..."

Xu Xingluo was thinking about what he wanted, so he followed Xiang Huai out. The young men who were watching the excitement looked at each other and followed them slowly.

Xiang Huai ran out of the indoor racecourse and said to Huo Xingzhou when he saw him standing next to the horse.

"Huo Er, let's have a match! If I lose, I will give up the chance to compete with the Zhong family next year!" Xiang Huai said impulsively, with gloom and unwillingness in his eyes.

What he hated most was people saying that he was not as good as Huo Xingzhou.

Especially since his beloved woman was determined to marry Huo Xingzhou, he was willing to endure it for Xu Xingluo.

Huo Xingzhou turned around and said slowly, "Comparison of what?"

"Handicap horse racing!" Xiang Huai said coldly, "It's a race to see who gets to the finish line, regardless of the rules."

Horse racing is a dangerous sport, and he specifically emphasized that it does not follow any rules.

That would definitely be bloodier.

"No comparison." Huo Xingzhou said lightly.

Xiang Huai said unwillingly: "You dare not?"

"Huo Xingzhou, I am giving you a chance. How can you just get involved in the business of the imperial capital? No matter how fiercely our families fight, we will unite against powerful enemies."

Xiang Huai was not just scaremongering.

This time, Tianyuan Group took great pains to get orders for a quarter.

The bet he offered was very generous.

Huo Xingzhou's eyebrows were wide, and he took in his anger and impulse, and said slowly: "I'm afraid you won't keep your word."

"My word to Huai is my bond."

Huo Xingzhou twitched his lips and said, "I don't believe in verbal bets. You've made such a big bet, so I must have to pay a lot."

Xiang Huai took a deep breath and said, "Let's draft an agreement now and have both of us sign it. If I lose, the Xiang family will withdraw from the Zhong family's bidding next year. If you lose, you will no longer be involved in the business of the imperial capital."

Huo Xingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly: "Okay."

The fish was determined to take the bait, and what could he do?
