Chapter 199 The Real Culprit of the Fire

Looks a little familiar.

This topaz must be worth a lot of money.

Xu Yunye slowly stood up and walked to her side, saying, "Where did you get your jade?"

His eyes were fixed on the topaz around her neck.

Qiao Xi glanced at him casually and walked past him impatiently. She didn't want to say another word to Xu Yunye. She reached out to tidy up the closet in the room and was pricked by the exposed nail.

hiss.

Qiao Xi's fingers were bleeding.

Xu Yunye lowered his head in a daze, his index finger was numb.

Just at that moment.

A crazy idea came to his mind and his brain became a mess.

Was he picked up by the Xu family?

"Hey, Qiao Xi, did you pick up that piece of jade? It seems like my second uncle lost a piece of jade when he had a car accident."

Qiao Xi turned her head and looked at him, then took off the topaz and threw it to him: "I'm giving it back to you. Can you leave now?"

"That's not what I meant."

Xu Yunye was a little at a loss. He handed the topaz to her and said, "I have never seen that jade before. I just glanced at the photo and said that casually. Keep it for yourself and don't throw it away."

Even if it was lost by the Liu family, it doesn’t matter.

After so many years, who knows how many owners it has changed. Maybe it was given to Qiao Xi by Huo Xingzhou.

Anyway, my second uncle has woken up, so my grandmother doesn’t have to pursue any superstitions anymore, and this piece of jade is of no use anymore.

The Liu family’s jewelry store has a basketful of jade of this quality.

Qiao Xi casually stuffed it into her pocket. This was something Zhao Yuzhen left for her. She loved and hated it.

Qiao Xi picked up all the things, turned around and left.

"Qiao Xi, are you just leaving like this?"

Qiao Xi ignored him.

She is going back to the hospital.

Xu Yunye ran up to her and grabbed her long hair fiercely. He looked into Qiao Xi's cold eyes and said, "Oh, there's something dirty in your hair!"

He just had an impulse, a very absurd impulse, the kind that he would go all the way to.

He held a few strands of Qiao Xi's hair tightly in his palm and said softly, "Be careful on the road."

Qiao Xi glared at him expressionlessly and walked out of the clinic.

She took out her cell phone and hailed a taxi, which arrived quickly. She opened the door in the rain, and her hair and clothes were soaked.

The taxi driver was on the radio and wanted to chat with her because she was fair and pretty, but when he saw that she ignored him, he stopped talking.

The car splashed water.

Drive to the hospital.

She paid the fare and got off the bus, holding Grandma Qiao's clothes and comb in her arms and using her body to shield herself from the heavy rain. The accumulated water under her feet splashed up.

At the hospital entrance, a tall man holding a black umbrella walked quickly to her side.

Shielded her from the rain.

Qiao Xi looked at him for a long time, the cold rain blocked by the black umbrella.

I originally thought.

After this rain, you won’t need anyone’s umbrella anymore.

But I still crave the warmth from his side.

Huo Xingzhou was silent. He forcefully pulled her into his arms and walked forward with her in his arms.

Qiao Xi was petite, and was held captive by him. She wanted to struggle but couldn't get out of his arms. His eyebrows were lowered, and his handsome features were expressionless.

Hugs are warm and reliable.

She wanted to trust him.

But I can't forgive myself.

Even though her grandmother's body was still warm, she was still indulging in petty love affairs.

Huo Xingzhou brought her into the room, took a clean towel and covered her head with it, wiping her wet hair. Half of his face was in the shadow, his thick eyelashes drooped, and the red mole on his neck was particularly eye-catching.

He raised his eyes slightly, his calm eyes seemed to conceal a hint of annoyance.

He ignored Qiao Xi's resistance, and with his slender fingers he picked up her collar, unbuttoned and unzipped it.

“Huo…”

Qiao Xi held his hand.

He tied her hands behind her back and took off all her wet clothes. With a cold face, he put the hospital gown on her and buttoned it up one by one.

Finally, he let go and took out the hair dryer from the drawer and plugged it in.

"sit."

His eyes were indifferent, and he said nothing. Qiao Xi pursed her lips, intimidated by his cold temperament, and sat down obediently on the edge of the bed.

Huo Xingzhou turned on the button of the hair dryer, and a whirring sound of wind began to sound.

He stood beside her, and Qiao Xi could see his elegant profile as soon as she looked up. His slender fingers passed through her hair, and the warm wind blew on her head.

Makes people sleepy.

Qiao Xi was physically and mentally exhausted. It was rare to be in such a gentle and peaceful atmosphere, so she slowly closed her eyes.

She discovered sadly that she was deeply dependent on this man.

Maybe last night was another plan by Xu Xingluo.

After her grandmother was buried, she wanted to have a frank talk with him.

She didn't know when she became sleepy, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep in his arms.

Huo Xingzhou carefully put the hair dryer aside and gently stroked her cheeks with his fingers. In less than two days, she looked much more haggard and had lost weight visibly.

He ran his fingers through her soft hair and gently tucked the loose hair behind her ears.

He picked up Qiao Xi and slowly placed her on the bed.

Gentle movements.

Cover her with a thin blanket.

He didn't ask her where she went tonight, nor did he ask her what she was thinking. He also didn't show any panic in front of her.

In this case, if she doesn't want to speak, he won't force her.

"Young Master..."

At the door, Lao Chen gently opened the crack and called softly.

Huo Xingzhou frowned and walked out quickly. He closed the door gently and looked at Lao Chen and Zhou Yu who suddenly appeared.

"Master, did the young mistress come back by herself? I just found out that she took a taxi to the clinic."

"It's okay, she's asleep."

Zhou Yu looked at Huo Xingzhou and couldn't help but speak: "Old Chen and I found something. Guess what it is?"

Huo Xingzhou looked calm and looked at him coldly: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Okay."

Zhou Yu regained his composure and took out a few receipts and placed them in front of Huo Xingzhou. "This is the total cost of Wang Lang's father's hospitalization. His father has no medical insurance. The surgery will cost more than 100,000 yuan. Add the checkups and follow-up rehabilitation, and it will cost at least 200,000 yuan."

"We checked Wang Lang's bank statements and found a deposit of 200,000 yuan into an account in the imperial capital a few days ago. I traced the source and found that it was cut off."

The other party came prepared.

But he is not afraid of their investigation and is very arrogant.

Imperial capital?

The bottom of Huo Xingzhou's eyes were as cold as snow, and the coldness around his body was spreading, almost freezing him.

"Xingzhou, I think it was Xiang Huai. Last time at the equestrian club, Qiao Xi made him lose face. He can't touch you, so he can only start with Qiao Xi."

Zhou Yu expressed his guess, "Perhaps Xu Xingluo was also responsible. Xiang Huai is her dog. The Jinling Hotel's plan seemed to be a collaboration between the two of them, so that you could not get to the clinic in time."

Poor means!

But it works!

Very disgusting!

Zhou Yu couldn't help but want to vomit.

The chill in Huo Xingzhou's heart was spreading, and a faint anger was rising.
