Chapter 379 Huo Xingzhou, Come Closer

"Huo Er."

Zhou Yu's voice came from outside the door, "Are you free?"

Huo Xingzhou put his clothes in order and walked over to open the door. Zhou Yu glanced at Qiao Xi inside and greeted her, then said to Huo Xingzhou: "Xu Xingluo wants to see you, and only you."

Zhou Yu thought to himself, this Xu Xingluo is quite a malicious person.

"knew."

Huo Xingzhou said lightly.

Qiao Xi said tactfully, "Then I'll go to the banquet hall. It's not good to be absent for too long. After all, I'm the protagonist of today's banquet. I'll go and see..."

"Qiao Xi."

Huo Xingzhou stopped her and said, "The Liu family has given you a big gift today. They gave you their jewelry store that has been passed down for hundreds of years as a birthday present. I just wanted to tell you about this."

Qiao Xi slightly opened her red lips, as if she was hallucinating.

"Jewelry shop?"

Qiao Xi was shocked.

She was no longer the country girl who had never seen the world, and she knew what the Liu family's jewelry store meant. It contained almost all the antiques and treasures collected by the Liu family for several generations, and they were worth a fortune.

"Yes, as long as you sign, the jewelry store will be yours..."

"What about the agreement?"

"I'll let Lao Jin give it to you. You can make your own decision. Whether you want to stay or refuse, I have no opinion on it."

"oh."

Qiao Xi heard what he said and responded obediently.

Huo Xingzhou soothed her, "I'll be back soon, don't run around. The cruise ship is safe now, don't worry."

"I know."

…

Ten minutes later.

Qiao Xi took the agreement in a brown paper bag from Jin Kai. The documents inside were thick. She opened it and took a look. It was indeed the jewelry store of the Liu family, and the chain jewelry stores under it.

This is a hot potato.

She has no shortage of money now. The people introduced by Sun Shao are all very wealthy, and any medical fee is enough to keep her going for a long time.

Qiao Xi walked to the door of the lounge next door, knocked lightly and pushed it open.

There were several female elders and Xu Yunye in the room.

Liu Zongyun went home early due to feeling unwell, while Liu Zongquan was also entertaining guests in the banquet hall.

"Mom."

Qiao Xi walked to Du Yan's side and called out, then looked at Liu Huimin.

She had changed into a dress, and the sour smell in the room had dissipated a lot. At this moment, Xu Yunye was treating her wounds. Liu Huimin was nearly fifty years old but well-maintained. Her delicate skin and tender flesh rubbed against the rough deck, which was indeed a bit scary.

Her knee injury affected her walking.

Liu Huimin was very happy to see her. With tears in her eyes, she smiled at her.

Qiao Xi had an indescribable feeling in her heart, but she still handed over the brown paper bag and said, "You Liu family should take this thing back. I can't accept such a valuable thing."

Liu Huimin's eyes dimmed.

The Liu family members felt that she was unwilling to accept the child and they still had deep resentment towards the Liu family.

"You don't even want to accept a gift?" Liu Huimin was very sad. "This was originally prepared for you. The girls in the Liu family will inherit the Liu family's jewelry business. Xingluo always wanted it before, but I never gave it to you. Now that I think about it, this is something destined to be given to you, something that has never been touched by Xu Xingluo."

Liu Huimin couldn't think of a better gift.

Girls all like expensive jewelry and hope to have a jewelry box. They feel happy looking at the sparkling jewelry every day.

"I'm not a member of the Liu family. I don't want it." Qiao Xi said directly.

Liu Huimin was sad to hear this.

Du Ya, who was sitting nearby, tried to ease the atmosphere: "You should take this jewelry store back first. Don't put too much pressure on the child. Who would give such an expensive birthday present? It's normal for Qiao Xi to refuse it."

It will probably take a long time for this mother and daughter to heal their knot.

"That's right. We were inconsiderate."

Yang Yuerong held the child and nodded repeatedly.

Liu Huimin held the file bag, looking lonely. She had never learned how to be a good mother, nor had she thought about this problem. She always wanted to offer what she thought was the best thing, which was love.

But Qiao Xi is not Xu Xingluo, and is not that greedy.

Xu Yunye stood up, put the alcohol cotton and gauze aside, and took out a car key from his pocket.

He took Qiao Xi's hand and put it in her palm.

"If you don't accept the jewelry, you should accept my gift." Xu Yunye looked at her deeply, "This is my favorite motorcycle key. I guess you haven't experienced the feeling of speeding in the wind. Come to me anytime."

Qiao Xi nodded and slowly clenched her hands.

The car key felt a little uncomfortable in her palm. She knew everything Xu Yunye had done for her.

"Thank you."

Xu Yunye's eyes turned red, but he was a little happy in his heart: "I saw scientific research that shows that the later-born twin is the older brother. You must have had a hard life in the countryside before. Would it be different if you had a brother? Qiao Xi, don't compete with me for first place. I want to be your brother and protect you."

Qiao Xi raised her eyes and looked at him, her throat felt sore and she was almost unable to speak.

She said in a very light voice, "Yeah."

…

In the room at the corner of the corridor on the second floor of the banquet hall.

Atmospheric condensation.

Xu Xingluo was forced to sit on a chair, with two bodyguards restraining her movements.

Zhou Yu used some means to interrogate her, but Xu Xingluo insisted on seeing Huo Xingzhou. So Zhou Yu went to find Huo Xingzhou, and when the door was opened, Xu Xingluo was blinded by the glaring light, and it took a while for her to calm down.

She looked at Huo Xingzhou and burst into tears: "You already knew that it wasn't me who saved you ten years ago. Don't you have any feelings for me at all? I spent my best youth with you."

She really loves Huo Xingzhou.

I really can't control my own body.

Huo Xingzhou sneered after hearing this: "Where is Xiang Huai? What about your many ex-boyfriends abroad? Who did you spend your youth with? But now all your exes have been caught, for eavesdropping on domestic secrets. You have completely lost hope."

Xu Xingluo cried bitterly: "Did you set up this trap on purpose to wait for me to come, just to avoid any hidden dangers for Qiao Xi? Why do you love her so much!"

Qiao Xi easily got what she wanted, even the most distinguished family background.

Xu Xingluo looked at him, tears on her face, and asked, "Huo Xingzhou, if I die one day, will you feel reluctant? Will you be moved?"

"will not."

The man said mercilessly.

He didn't even try to coax her, and Zhou Yu was anxious watching from the side. It was obvious that Xu Xingluo just wanted to get a few nice words from Huo Xingzhou. If he could coax her well, she would answer any questions.

I didn't expect Huo Xingzhou to be so cold-blooded.

Xu Xingluo laughed heartbreakingly and coughed repeatedly. She could even smell the bloody taste spreading from her mouth. All her hopes would be ruined. Huo Xingzhou would not give her even a trace of warmth.

Zhou Yu lowered his voice and said, "Just say a few words to her. Qiao Xi is not here now. Just say a few words so that we can get more information. The fact that Xu Xing is still wondering whether you love her or not at this point is enough to show that she is sincere to you."

Huo Xingzhou's voice was calm. "Can your love and sex be separated? Without Qiao Xi, can I coax other women? Zhou Yu, I think you are still not suitable for marriage."

Marriage is loyalty.

When Xu Xingluo heard his voice, tears slowly fell from the corners of her eyes.

She finally saw through Huo Xingzhou's preference for Qiao Xi, and she really regretted it.

"Huo Xingzhou, I have one last question for you. If I hadn't left when the car accident happened, and I had stayed with you through it, would you...would you have married me? Would we have been different?"

As far as she could think, all the mistakes started with the car accident when she was traveling abroad.

Zhou Yu said irritably, "Xu Xingluo, don't you understand yet? You are just like Xu Guangyao, seeking profit and avoiding harm. There is no such thing as if. If it happens again, you will still go abroad. And if you stay in the country, Huo Xingzhou may not be able to survive! Qiao Xi saved his life, do you understand? You don't have that ability."

Zhou Yu’s words were too straightforward.

Xu Xingluo was so excited that her mind was broken. She gritted her teeth and said, "I want to hear Huo Xingzhou's answer."

Huo Xingzhou glanced at her and said calmly, "The marriage contract made by the elders of both parties should be fulfilled. But there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed. What Xu Guangyao did cannot be kept secret forever, and I may not survive the car accident."

So, the ending is still not a happy one.

When Xu Xingluo heard this answer, she burst into tears.

That's enough!

Xu Xingluo took a deep breath and said, "I know who saved you ten years ago. Huo Xingzhou, come closer and I'll tell you."
