Chapter 281 They Got Their Certificate

Huo Xingzhou deliberately said: "Then let them laugh at it."

"no."

Qiao Xi protected her neck tightly, "This is the first time I accompany you to meet a business partner, we can't embarrass ourselves!"

I've heard from Zhou Yu a long time ago that it's very difficult to fulfill orders from the Zhong family in the imperial capital.

They are extremely picky people.

How could she dare to meet guests with the kiss mark on her neck? She would definitely be laughed at to death by them.

She might even look down on Mr. Huo behind his back.

Huo Xingzhou pried her hands apart and said with a deep gaze, "No trace was left. I know my limits."

"real?"

"real."

"It's still early. We can go home and have a quick meal, then go to Jinling Hotel in the evening."

Qiao Xi nodded thoughtfully, "Do they know I'm going?"

"I'll let Zhou Yu say hello."

Huo Xingzhou wanted to take Qiao Xi out to see the world, so that she would meet all kinds of people in the future and would be able to deal with them.

"Then I'll go home and put on some makeup. I will definitely not embarrass you tonight."

Qiao Xi spoke in a brisk tone, looking at Huo Xingzhou with sparkling eyes.

The man followed her words and said, "Then I'll rely on you to hold the stage for me tonight."

"Um!"

Qiao Xi nodded heavily in response!

…

Seven o'clock in the evening.

The lights on Haicheng streets came on, and the Jinling Hotel became even more lively.

It is located in the bustling city center and is always crowded with people.

Ordinary people would not dare to enter the luxurious lobby, but this place has always been the first choice for wealthy people to hold dinner parties and social gatherings.

Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi arrived at Jinling Hotel in advance. As the hosts, they should have arrived first to make preparations.

When the handsome man and beautiful woman walked into the hotel arm in arm, they attracted everyone's surprised gazes.

Qiao Xi gradually adapted to the feeling of being the center of attention and was able to behave gracefully in important occasions.

They followed the waiter into the reserved box.

Zhou Yu had arrived a long time ago and was picking and choosing from a menu.

"We have to serve Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which is the signature dish of Jinling Hotel. Forget about the grouper, clam, and lobster. I heard that Master Zhong doesn't like these things. He prefers the special side dishes."

Zhou Yu flipped through a few more pages and said to the waiter, "I'd like one serving of this fish and bamboo shoots, as well as crab meat porridge in golden rice soup, rich and noble drunken shrimps... and braised beef feet in white tomato sauce, plus a few special stir-fried vegetables."

"That's all the food. Please serve us red wine."

Zhou Yu smacked his lips, feeling a little hungry himself.

But the last time he ordered a bottle of Romanee-Conti red wine, he spent 180,000 yuan, and Huo Xingzhou asked him to pay for it himself!

So Zhou Yu looked at Huo Xingzhou and said, "Huo Er, what kind of wine do you think is worthy of your status?"

Flattery.

to please.

Huo Xingzhou had seen through his thoughts long ago: "You order, and I'll pay."

"Okay! Our President Huo is really generous!"

Zhou Yu pointed at the wine list, "Here's this! Romanee-Conti 2019! Let's get two bottles first! If they're unopened, I'll refund them when you check out."

The waiter noted his request and went out with the menu.

The rare 19-year-old Romanee-Conti can only be seen by some collectors or at auctions.

The Jinling Hotel also has a collection of wines in its wine cellar, and only when a distinguished guest of Huo Xingzhou's caliber appears will such a wine list be presented.

Zhou Yu went further and ordered a bottle of red wine that cost 320,000 yuan.

What a loser.

Qiao Xi didn't know the price of the red wine. Seeing that Zhou Yu had to ask Huo Xingzhou for permission before ordering wine, she asked, "Is this wine expensive?"

She certainly hadn't seen it.

Zhou Yu gently pushed the wine list in front of her.

Qiao Xi looked down and took a breath of cool air.

A bottle of wine, 320,000!

Damn capitalists!

No wonder there are always those sky-high priced banquets in the news. Qiao Xi even wondered how expensive the dishes at the banquets could be.

It turns out that what is expensive is not the food, but the wine!

"Sister-in-law, you can have some wine when we open it later. Try the money..."

Zhou Yu urged.

As long as Qiao Xi had a few sips, Huo Er would not regret asking him to pay the bill.

Qiao Xi's view on money is shaken. How much is one bite worth?

When she was feeling depressed, Huo Sijiao called her.

Seeing that the guests had not arrived yet, Qiao Xi answered the phone in front of the two men.

"Hey, Jiaojiao, do you want to talk to me about something?"

"Sister-in-law! Shocking news!"

Huo Sijiao's voice was about to break through the network cable.

"What news?"

"Sister-in-law, Xu Xingluo and Xiang Huai got their marriage certificate! I even saw Xiang Huai showing off his marriage certificate on WeChat Moments!"

"Ah? Xu Xingluo got the marriage certificate?"

Qiao Xi was unable to react for a long while.

If I remember correctly, Xu Xingluo was beaten in the hospital today!

I heard that she was beaten black and blue, but she still got married to Xiang Huai?

"Really! That idiot Xiang Huai thought he got a good deal, and even said that he married the goddess he always wanted to marry, thank fate for the gift!" Huo Sijiao said sarcastically, with a tone of gloating.

This is a gift to thank Sweeping Star!

"Sister-in-law, these two are a perfect match! They should be locked up and not harm others! I thought Xu Xingluo was arrogant and looked down on Xiang Huai, but now that she is down and out, she still wants to marry Xiang Huai."

Huo Sijiao complained: "What goes with what pot. She even expected to marry my brother. Fortunately, she ran away from home after the car accident! Otherwise, we would have a troublemaker in our family. How miserable it would be!"

Qiao Xi tried hard to digest this information.

My rival got married.

So isn’t it time for Xu Xingluo to shut up?

"Sister-in-law, she won't be able to show her face to my brother anymore! Xu Guangyao will most likely be sentenced. It's lucky for her, an illegitimate daughter, to be able to marry Xiang Huai! Are you happy to hear this news?"

Qiao Xi said softly, "Happy."

It really makes me feel better.

Xu Xingluo married the man she once looked down upon.

Huo Sijiao rambled on and on and on and on and on before she hung up the phone.

Qiao Xi's mouth was dry, and the man beside her placed a glass of warm water in front of her: "Drink some water, I see your mouth is about to curl up to the sky."

Huo Xingzhou looked at her with a smile on his face, and Qiao Xi's cheeks turned red when he looked at her.

Is she showing it clearly?

Zhou Yu listened to the general situation and said, "Xiang Huai thought he got a great bargain, but this time he is in trouble. When the police collect enough evidence, Xu Xingluo will be charged with harboring a criminal at the very least."

Zhou Yu raised three fingers: "You can't escape within three years."

The police just wanted to use Xu Xingluo as bait to see if Li Daming would continue to contact her.

The five million deal between her and Li Daming is no longer a secret.

Qiao Xi blinked her eyelashes: "She is going to jail too?"

"Well, if you commit a crime, you go to jail."

Zhou Yu was a bystander and saw it clearly.

The Xu family’s drama will come to an end once Li Daming is found.

Qiao Xi deliberately asked Huo Xingzhou: "Will Mr. Huo feel sorry for Xu Xingluo? After all, you two have been childhood sweethearts for many years and almost got married."

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows, looking pleased with himself.
