Chapter 219 You Don’t Have to Forgive Him
Huo Xingzhou got off the car first.
Qiao Xi followed him without saying anything. The two of them walked in one after the other, and Qiao Xi saw the people sitting in the living room and reacted.
The whole family knows that she is filing for divorce.
"Qiao Xi, please sit down. Aunt Qian, please bring over the sweet cassava soup you made." Du Ya called out, and she affectionately pulled Qiao Xi to sit next to her.
His attitude was very friendly, and he wanted to praise Qiao Xi to the sky.
"Sister-in-law, are you tired? I'll take you to the health center for a SPA tomorrow." Huo Sijiao placed a plate of sunshine roses in front of her, "Eat more fruits. I remember that sister-in-law likes this very much."
She smiled widely, with a hint of flattery in her voice.
There was no mention of Huo Xingzhou in their eyes at all.
Huo Xingzhou sat on the other side of the sofa. Huo Jiancheng glanced at him and achieved a strange balance in his heart.
It turns out that he is not the only one who is unpopular.
"Young Madam, the cassava dumpling sweet soup is here." Aunt Qian walked to Qiao Xi's side with a porcelain bowl and placed a cup of honey water in front of Huo Xingzhou.
"Master, drinking some honey water is good for your stomach."
It is best to drink a glass of honey water after drinking, which will make you feel much more comfortable.
Qiao Xi took the porcelain bowl and said, "Thank you, Aunt Qian."
"We are a family, so don't be polite." Aunt Qian said with a smile, "Young Madam, please try it. You must be hungry since you didn't have dinner. I will go to the kitchen to cook two dishes. Please bear with me."
Qiao Xi took a sip of the sweet soup and glanced at Huo Xingzhou who was sitting opposite her.
She was a little overwhelmed, not knowing what would happen next and how to deal with it.
The soft and glutinous sweet potato was pursed between her lips and teeth, and a sweet taste slid down her throat, making her feel a little better.
Du Ya looked at her and said, "Qiao Xi, we have something to apologize to you for. Your father-in-law is a mess in his head and does things in an unethical way. We already know the stupid things he did!"
She glared at Huo Jiancheng with a look of hatred.
Surprise flashed in Qiao Xi's eyes. She looked at the man with his hands on the edge of the sofa and found that his expression didn't change at all.
Mr. Huo has known about the existence of that agreement for a long time?
Was everything that happened in the Civil Affairs Bureau just a joke on her?
What is he thinking about?
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Qiao Xi's mind.
She filed for divorce so impulsively!
"Sister-in-law, I also know the content of the agreement. My brother said he could solve it, but I also found a loophole. The agreement states that the Xu family and the second branch of the Huo family will marry each other, and I am also from the second branch! At worst, I can marry Xu Xiuyuan or Xu Yunye, and you and my brother don't have to get divorced."
Huo Sijiao spoke loudly.
"Jiaojiao, you don't have to sacrifice your own happiness."
Qiao Xi looked at her and said with a sour feeling in her heart.
"Sister-in-law, I only recognize you as my sister-in-law. Xu Xingluo is nothing. Please don't divorce my brother, okay? Although he is arrogant and cold, he is a good husband."
Huo Sijiao was still trying hard to speak well of Huo Xingzhou, "My brother and my father are absolutely different!"
Huo Jiancheng felt like he was shot in the heart.
He no longer has any status in this family. Even the poodle in the family is more noble than him.
"Qiao Xi."
Huo Jiancheng said awkwardly, "I apologize to you. I used you as a scapegoat to make myself feel better. I take back what I said. You and Xingzhou should live a good life. We elders will never interfere with you in the future."
Qiao Xi didn't feel relieved so quickly after listening to his words.
The words you said and the things you did will only pierce your heart like a knife. Even if you pull it out, it will leave a mark of damage.
She already had a prejudice against Huo Jiancheng.
Du Ya understood her dilemma and said, "Qiao Xi, you don't have to forgive him. Just treat him as a fart and let him go."
Qiao Xi's mouth curled up, and she was amused by her.
"Sister-in-law, you and my brother must be fine."
Huo Sijiao looked at her expectantly, "I'll take you out to relax tomorrow."
Qiao Xi nodded.
Du Ya stood up and said, "Qiao Xi, becoming a couple requires even greater luck. Your marriage into our family is destiny. So I hope you can treat this marriage well."
"We're leaving now. You two should have dinner quickly."
She left them space on purpose.
Now that the matter has been explained clearly, it depends on what Qiao Xi decides.
Anyway, their second branch will never force the young couple to divorce, so that agreement means nothing.
Qiao Xi stood up and said, "Mom, I'll take you out."
"good."
Du Ya was delighted to hear that she was still willing to call her "Mom".
"Sister-in-law, I will take you to see the colorful world tomorrow."
Du Ya glanced at her and said, "Your sister-in-law is different from you. You are the most playful."
"Mom." Huo Sijiao called out coquettishly, "Save some face for me in front of my sister-in-law."
"Okay, hurry up and get in the car. Qiao Xi, don't see me off. Xingzhou is waiting for you inside for dinner."
"goodbye."
Qiao Xi waved her hand and saw the family of three off.
She took a deep breath and turned into the villa.
The huge living room suddenly became much quieter, and Huo Xingzhou was no longer on the sofa.
Aunt Qian brought the pork chop soup to the table and said, "Madam, I skimmed the fat off this pork chop soup. Can I serve you a bowl?"
"Thank you, Aunt Qian."
Qiao Xi had no appetite, so she couldn't help but ask, "Where is Mr. Huo?"
"The young master said he wasn't hungry and went to the study to take care of some work. I saw that he has been very busy recently. Old Chen said that he rushed back from a cocktail party in the afternoon and drank a lot of wine. He looked very bad, and I was very worried."
Aunt Qian deliberately said, "Madam, the young master had a lot of social engagements in the past. His stomach has always been very bad, and sometimes he doesn't eat on time. He was once hospitalized because of his stomach."
A layer of worry appeared in Qiao Xi's eyes.
He had been in a car accident, and his physical condition really needed to be strengthened. He had been warned not to drink too much, but he couldn't avoid it in the business world.
Aunt Qian suggested: "How about I pour some soup and you bring it over?"
Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Sooner or later you will have to face Mr. Huo.
She went upstairs carrying a bowl of pork rib soup and a stack of yam crisps and gently knocked on Huo Xingzhou's study door.
There was no movement inside.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips, thinking that he might be angry with her.
"Mr. Huo, Aunt Qian asked me to bring you some food. Can I come in?"
There were faint noises coming from inside the room.
Qiao Xi waited for a while, thought about it, and then pushed the door open and walked in.
The man sitting at the desk covered his left abdomen with one hand, his hair on his forehead was wet with cold sweat. His eyelashes were wet, making them look even darker. His face was pale, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and he was trying hard to hold back the pain.
"Mr. Huo, what's wrong with you?" Qiao Xi quickly put down the tray, walked to his side, pinched his wrist and began to take his pulse.
Huo Xingzhou dodged her hand and was very distant.
