Chapter 322: Going to Liu's House and Questioning Liu Huimin

Huo Xingzhou's hand touched her chest, the place where her heart was.

"There is a thorn in you. If you don't pull it out, will you be able to sleep tonight?" He looked at her seriously.

Qiao Xi opened her mouth but said nothing. It turned out that he understood everything.

The man half-closed his eyes and said, "Don't you want to find out what happened to the Liu family? Was it Liu Huimin alone who did it, or did the whole family know about it?"

He would not normally behave in such an outrageous and disrespectful manner.

He must have drunk quite a bit of alcohol, which led to his impulse overcoming his reason and causing him to visit the man so late at night.

Qiao Xi looked at him and said softly, "I think so."

She wanted to know whether the entire Liu family was accomplices or whether it was just Liu Huimin who did it.

Do they know the truth?

If she knew everything, she would treat those so-called blood relatives equally and would not have to be polite to them in the future.

She is not a heartless person, but she has a clear distinction between love and hate.

She couldn't hate Xu Yunye as much as she hated Liu Huimin, and her feelings towards the young and old in the Liu family were mixed.

Old Chen turned the steering wheel and drove towards the Liu family's old house.

This time, he drove very fast.

When the car arrived at the front door of the Liu family's old house, a security guard came with a walkie-talkie to report.

This Rolls-Royce with a familiar license plate number was the Liu family's main vehicle of concern. Especially after learning Qiao Xi's true identity, the Liu family dared not neglect it.

"Old lady, head of the family! The Huo family is here!"

The security guard notified the villa district and the maids delivered the news shortly afterwards.

The Liu family members who were drinking night tea in the living room were stunned for a moment.

Liu Zongquan and the old lady were troubled by their worries. They couldn't sleep so they just drank tea and chatted. Liu Huimin came back after a day of running around outside. She looked worried and was struggling with whether to tell her family about Qiao Xi's registration.

When she heard that the Huo family had arrived, the teacup in her hand shook, and the boiling tea burned the back of her hand red.

The maid quickly handed over a towel wrapped in ice cubes.

The old lady complained distressedly: "You are so old but still act like a child. It's really worrying."

"Mom, I'm fine!"

Liu Huimin bit her lip and asked the maid, "Who is here from the Huo family? Is Qiao Xi here?"

"Yes, she came with the second young master of the Huo family."

Old Lady Liu was very excited: "Quick! Please come in!"

"Tell the kitchen to prepare a midnight snack and call Chef Jiang, he's the best cook! You... also prepare a pot of rose tea and some snacks that the girls like."

Her eyes were full of joy.

In the old lady's view, Qiao Xi's willingness to come to her house meant that her attitude had softened.

Maybe he is here to recognize his relatives!

All the lights in the Liu family's old house were lit up.

The maids prepared in an orderly manner, and even Liu Zongquan and the old lady of the Liu family had a look of relief on their faces.

Only Liu Huimin felt heavy in her heart, as if a heavy stone was pressing down on her. She frowned, her heart was in turmoil. She was very worried that Du Ya would tell Qiao Xi the truth about the registration.

I also understand Qiao Xi's attitude towards the Liu family. How could she possibly visit them?

But Liu Huimin held a glimmer of hope in her heart.

What if?

What if Qiao Xi is here to recognize her relatives?

Her adoptive father died a long time ago, and Zhao Yuzhen remarried, leaving only her grandmother to accompany her. She longed for the warmth of her family, and suddenly she figured it out?

Liu Huimin took a deep breath, her fingers trembling with nervousness.

“Here it comes, here it comes!”

"Second Master Huo, Madam."

There were voices coming from outside. This was the first time Qiao Xi came to visit after her background was exposed.

But it was at night.

When Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou walked in hand in hand, they saw the Liu family standing in wait.

"child."

The old lady of the Liu family came forward and said, "Come and sit down."

"Thank you."

Qiao Xi's emotions were not reflected on her face, and Huo Xingzhou's expression was also indifferent. The two of them sat on the sofa politely, their behavior very distant.

Everyone sat down.

Liu Huimin looked at Qiao Xi eagerly and placed the exquisite pastries on the tea table in front of her: "Xi Xi, these are very famous snacks in Haicheng, specially made by the kitchen."

She poured Qiao Xi another cup of rose tea: "Girls should drink rose tea to beautify their skin. Don't drink strong tea at night."

Seeing how attentive and humble she was, Qiao Xi found it hard to imagine that she had done such a vicious thing behind her back.

If she was not Liu Huimin's daughter, would she still be treated with kindness and guilt by her?

Qiao Xi sat next to Huo Xingzhou and said calmly, "I don't drink tea. I disturbed you so late at night because I have something I want to verify."

She was very polite and a stranger to them.

Huo Xingzhou sat next to her, looking dignified and self-possessed. He was her backer and confidence.

Old Lady Liu looked at her lovingly and said, "Child, tell me what you want us to do for you."

Qiao Xi looked around and said, "It's about the Chinese Medicine Grand Ceremony and the Needle Testing Conference."

"I will be attending a TCM trial meeting soon, but I did not submit my registration information on my own initiative. I would like to ask if you have any involvement in this matter."

The words fell.

The old lady and Liu Zongquan looked solemn. She was actually forced to participate in this grand ceremony of traditional Chinese medicine.

I had hoped that Lu Bannong would not argue with a younger person, but who would have thought that Qiao Xi would actually go down this path.

Not true.

She came to the Liu family to question!

The old lady spoke up quickly, "Child, did you misunderstand something? We, the Liu family, are busy trying to solve the problem, so how could we possibly interfere with your registration? We owe you a debt when you saved Zong Yun. Don't worry, we, the Liu family, will do everything we can, even if it means losing everything, to keep you safe."

Old Mrs. Liu was heartbroken.

Why did you end up on this path?

What if I lose in the needle testing competition?

Liu Zongquan even stated: "I will ask someone right now to remove you from the list."

Qiao Xi shook her head: "It's useless, the list has been announced. If I withdraw now, I will have no reputation in this industry and I won't be able to survive. This is not a problem that can be solved by power. I have decided to participate! I came here just to get the truth!"

“I can’t participate!”

Old Lady Liu said with a bitter face, "The consequences of losing are too serious, not to mention you are still young! There are so many masters, you are likely to lose."

Liu Zongquan's face was solemn. "You mean to say that you suspect that our Liu family has played a role in your registration? How could we..."

It seemed that they were unaware of the situation. Somehow, Qiao Xi suddenly felt a slight sense of relief in her heart.

Finally, her eyes fell on Liu Huimin.

Her face was pale and her hair was wet with cold sweat.

"Ms. Liu."

She couldn't say the word "Mom".

Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said, "I received a call today saying that you colluded with Ma Hongwen, the vice president of the Haicheng Chinese Medicine Association, and submitted my registration information. It was not until the list was posted on the internal forum that I found out that I was registered."

She pressed on: "Is this true? Are you behind this?"

Qiao Xi's words were like the sharpest knife, stabbing Liu Huimin so hard that she couldn't recover for a long time.
