Chapter 197 He wants to find Qiao Xi!

Xu Guangyao took two deep puffs of the smoke and exhaled.

Liu Huimin doesn't like him smoking at home, he has no freedom at all.

"Now, our Xu family and the Huo family are going to be completely at odds. The cooperation between Tianyuan Group and us has been suspended, and it has touched Huo Xingzhou's sore spot."

"Dad, don't we still have the agreement signed by Huo Jiancheng ten years ago? It has been notarized and will definitely take effect." Xu Xingluo said naively.

Xu Guangyao sneered: "That thing can only fool Huo Jiancheng. Huo Xingzhou is very smart. He will find a way to deal with it. Even if he has to fulfill the agreement in the end, he can delay it for half a year."

Xu Xingluo’s IQ is indeed not that high, and he doesn’t understand what Xu Guangyao means.

She had always thought that as long as the agreement was there, she would be able to marry Huo Xingzhou. Even if the two of them became a pair of enemies, it was better than letting Qiao Xi take advantage.

Xu Guangyao extinguished his cigarette and threw it aside, frowning and asking, "Does the fire at Qiao Xi Clinic last night have anything to do with you?"

Xu Xingluo shook his head.

She feels a little guilty.

Xiang Huai sent her a text message yesterday saying that he wanted to teach Qiao Xi a painful lesson and completely get rid of Qiao Xi for her. But Xu Xingluo didn't know that he would use this method.

Qiao Xi is not dead.

That old woman is dead!

She was panicked and regretful.

Why wasn’t Qiao Xi the one who died!

Such a great opportunity was missed!

"Are you sure you are not lying to me?" Xu Guangyao emphasized again.

"Dad, it really has nothing to do with me! How could I have the courage to do such a thing? Didn't the news report that it was an accident?"

Xu Guangyao retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice: "You have no sense of propriety in doing things. We can cover you for minor incidents, but please don't involve human lives."

"I know."

What Xiang Huai did had nothing to do with her.

She had just complained a few times and made a few hints at first.

Xu Xingluo bit her lip. Although Qiao Xi didn't lose everything this time, she was also in excruciating pain.

Plus the anonymous email from yesterday.

Maybe she can achieve her goal...

"Okay, get out of the car. Don't show any strangeness in front of your mother. Since what happened last night didn't work out, try to keep it to a minimum."

So as not to make Huo Xingzhou angry!

However, Huo Xingzhou probably wasn't in the mood to deal with what happened at the celebration banquet.

"Um."

Xu Xingluo got out of the car obediently and followed Xu Guangyao to the living room.

But as soon as I reached the entrance, I heard a quarrel breaking out inside.

Xu Yunye's body was dirty and he didn't have time to wash it. He asked, "Mom, Qiao Xi's clinic had an accident. Did it have anything to do with you? You said that her clinic couldn't be run. Did you do anything?"

Liu Huimin saw the news this morning that one person died and one was injured in the clinic.

She did not feel as happy as she had imagined, but instead felt depressed.

The old lady died, Qiao Xi must be very sad.

The last time the old lady came to Haicheng, she was in a car accident and she took the person to the hospital. But seeing that Xingluo was so sad because of Qiao Xi, she pretended to be mysterious and said some threatening words.

I didn't expect my son to question me like this.

"Yun Ye, I didn't do anything." Liu Huimin looked at him angrily and said, "In your heart, is mom an unforgivable murderer and arsonist?"

She frowned and talked a lot.

"Yun Ye, the clinic fire has nothing to do with me! You are injured all over, can you clean yourself up first?"

Xu Yunye sneered: "When you encountered Xu Xingluo's incident, you lost your rationality. How do I know that you really didn't do it?"

"The news reports all said that the fire was caused by improper use of fire in the clinic. Can it be related to me?" Liu Huimin was helpless.

Xu Guangyao walked into the living room with a cold face and scolded: "What kind of magic did Qiao Xi feed you to make you talk to your mother in such a disrespectful way! Xu Yunye, you have disappointed us so much!"

"Second brother, why are you leaning so far outward?"

Xu Xingluo added insult to injury, "Could it be that you have fallen in love with Qiao Xi?"

"What a mess!"

Xu Guangyao didn't care about right or wrong, and roared: "You embarrass me every day. Learn from your elder brother and sister and make a little contribution to this family."

Xu Yunye's eyes were bloodshot, and he endured it and spoke: "If you dislike me so much, why did you give birth to me? This family is the same with or without me!"

He turned around and stumbled out of the house.

The road was slippery due to the rain and he fell heavily on the stairs.

While lying on the ground, he seemed to understand Qiao Xi's situation. The villa was warm, clean and luxurious. He could hear the conversation inside, but no one chased him out.

His mother shouted, "Yun Ye, it's raining outside!"

His cold-blooded father said, "Don't bother with him. He will go home after suffering."

Xu Yunye covered his swollen and sore chest and suddenly felt an impulse for no reason.

He wants to find Qiao Xi!

…

The sky is covered with dark clouds.

In the evening, the sky was as dark as night, and the sky was shrouded in darkness.

In Haicheng, summer thunderstorms brought heavy rain, with big raindrops hitting the glass windows.

Tick.

The sound was rapid and heavy.

The rain is coming hard and may last until midnight.

Qiao Xi stood by the window and watched the heavy rain outside. Shu Xue knocked on the door and said, "I saw your husband went out to pick up the food. It was delivered by Jinling Hotel."

She was not on duty today, so she specially switched shifts with someone else.

I want to stay and accompany Qiao Xi.

She hugged Qiao Xi, let her lean on her arms and comforted her, "Don't hold it in, just cry if you want to. The dead cannot be resurrected, and grandma doesn't want you to be sad."

Qiao Xi has been very patient since she woke up.

She kept all her grievances and tears in her heart.

Shu Xue understood her self-blame.

She was clearly in the clinic last night, yet such a big accident happened to grandma.

"Qiao Xi, I know it's useless to tell you anything. When people encounter major setbacks, there are four stages." Her voice was gentle and healing, "Pain and regret, escaping from reality, getting used to it, and finally accepting reality."

These all take time to heal.

Maybe a few months, maybe a few years.

Maybe a lifetime.

"You relied on your own efforts to walk from a small country village to Haicheng, entered Haicheng Hospital, and then opened a clinic. You are the pride of Grandma Qiao, and she will always be watching over you in heaven."

Shu Xue patted her back gently, "Qiao Xi, don't be afraid."

Qiao Xi bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes. She pushed them back fiercely and tried to be strong.

"Thank you...Shuxue."

"We are like sisters. What is there to thank for?"

Shu Xue said with sobs.

Knock knock.

The nurse knocked on the door and said, "Doctor Qiao, here... there is a certificate that needs your signature."

She looked hesitant and a little reluctant.

Qiao Xi walked slowly to her side and took the paper.

When she saw the contents on the paper, her fingers trembled and she almost broke the edge of the paper.
