Chapter 380 Ten years ago, it was Qiao Xi who saved you
Huo Xingzhou stood there without any movement.
If he were any closer, the distance would be too intimate.
This man had a calm expression, and he refused to lower his attitude even when he needed someone. Xu Xingluo watched him lose his mind, and he became more and more jealous of Qiao Xi.
She shed her tears and tried her best, but she still couldn't get his favor.
Even at the last moment, when I wanted to get closer to him, he refused to comply.
She wanted to touch him again.
This may be the last time in my life.
"never mind."
Xu Xingluo closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Ten years ago, it was definitely not me who rescued you in the avalanche cave, and it was not me who called for help. I was very scared during the avalanche, so I ran away."
Later, she realized that the avalanche was over and heard from staff that it was safe.
Only then did he bravely go up the mountain.
"I saw two people, a teenager carrying an unconscious girl. From a distance, I followed their footsteps and found you."
She had never said this to anyone else.
She attributed everything to coincidence, subconsciously denied the appearance of the girl, and took the place of Huo Xingzhou's life-saving grace. When she arrived at the snow mountain cave, Huo Xingzhou was unconscious.
At that time, she had evil thoughts.
She wanted to become the white moonlight in the heart of the nobleman of Haicheng, and wanted to get special treatment from Huo Xingzhou, the most outstanding man in the second branch of the Huo family.
Later it was proved that she had indeed become the most envied person by the socialites and daughters of Haicheng.
Her good family background, her good looks, and her great talent.
And the good man she was destined to be engaged to.
She is really a little princess, the center of attention!
Looking back now, that period of time seemed like a dream.
"Huo Xingzhou, I actually had some guesses in my mind. That time, that place, the same age, that girl..." Xu Xingluo's eyes were filled with tears, "All encounters are not accidental, they are destined."
That person is Qiao Xi.
Xu Xingluo didn't say the name because she was unwilling to do so.
But all the details reveal everything, and it is tacitly understood.
Huo Xingzhou's fingers hanging at his sides were slightly bent.
There were surging waves of shock in his eyes, as if sweeping away everything.
He suppressed his emotions, looked at Xu Xingluo and said, "I will let the Liu family deal with you personally. They will decide whether to send you to prison or set you free."
Xu Xingluo looked miserable: "Do you have to be so cruel to me? You know very well that they will not be soft on me in order to show their stance in front of Qiao Xi. Huo Xingzhou, I still want to hold the right to choose in my own hands this time."
Huo Xingzhou didn't waste time with her and turned around and left the room.
Zhou Yu followed and frowned as he said, "Why can't I understand what she said? Did you understand? Is there any progress on what she said about ten years ago?"
"have."
Huo Xingzhou's words were concise and to the point.
Zhou Yu was puzzled as they were all in the same room.
How come he didn't get any news?
"Why are you still playing a mystery with Xu Xingluo? Tell me the clues quickly and I will check it out."
"Zhou Yu, no need to check."
Huo Xingzhou's eyes were cold and indifferent, but Zhou Yu could see the surging emotions in them, and Huo Xingzhou seemed to be very uneasy.
Were those words Xu Xingluo said so destructive?
"You stay here and watch over Xu Xingluo. I'll go find the Liu family to take over."
"good."
Zhou Yu responded and asked worriedly, "Are you really okay?"
"It's OK."
Huo Xingzhou's voice was extremely calm as he walked slowly down the corridor. His pace was faster than usual. When he reached the lounge, he heard voices coming from the Liu family's room. Their door was not closed, so he could see Du Yu and Qiao Xi chatting there.
Du Ya probably wanted to pave the way for Qiao Xi and enhance her relationship with the Liu family.
Qiao Xi was sitting on a soft chair at the side, with her back straight and looking serious.
She would only respond after someone had said a few words. Yang Yuerong and Liu Huimin kept looking for topics to chat with her, just wanting to get to know her better through her words.
She was still wearing the dark green dress and had fair skin.
Her eyelashes are long and curled, and they blink gently.
Huo Xingzhou stood at the door for a while, and was spotted by Du Ya inside. She joked, "What are you doing standing at the door? You are fascinated by your wife. I see your eyes are glued to her."
Huo Xingzhou's expression did not change after being teased.
He walked into the room, put his hand on Qiao Xi's shoulder, looked at everyone and said, "I'm going to leave Xu Xingluo's matter to you Liu family to decide. Send her to prison, send her abroad, or if you want her to die on her own, the Huo family won't ask."
He seemed to give the Liu family many choices.
In fact, it was just to see the Liu family's attitude towards Xu Xingluo.
Liu Zongquan, the person in charge, was gone, so Xu Yunye, as the man in charge in the room, said, "Xu Xingluo will pay for everything she has done. Mom, don't you agree?"
He also specifically asked Liu Huimin, hoping that she could express her opinion.
Liu Huimin was no fool, and said, "Yes. She should be punished. Our Liu family will not cover up for her, but will only demand a heavy punishment."
"Xu Yunye, he's in the room at the end of the corridor. You guys take him away."
"good."
Xu Yunye responded and prepared to leave, but turned back and said to Qiao Xi, "Don't worry."
He would not let Xu Xingluo off easily, and would never give her the chance to hurt her again.
"Then let's go downstairs to entertain the guests."
Qiao Xi held Huo Xingzhou's hand and found an excuse to escape from the room. The atmosphere here was too warm, and even the previously hateful Liu Huimin looked much gentler.
Qiao Xi was not adapting well and felt uncomfortable.
"good."
Huo Xingzhou patted the back of her hand gently and took her away.
Seeing her leave without looking back, Liu Huimin sighed and said in frustration, "She is still very resistant to me."
Yang Yuerong smiled and said, "Take it slow. She still has feelings for Rong Bao and Yun Ye, so give her more time." She said to Du Ya without hiding her intentions.
"I always hear people say that the girl is a country girl and not worthy of Xingzhou, and I feel uncomfortable. If she can recognize our Liu family, it will be our blessing. After all, the old lady has some old friends in the imperial capital, and she will go to participate in the needle testing conference in the future."
Yang Yuerong said everything she wanted to say, hoping that Du Ya could also play a supporting role and do some ideological work for Qiao Xi from time to time.
Du Ya understood what she meant and did not refuse.
When these wealthy people do things, they have to pave the way for their own retreat.
…
the other side.
Qiao Xi walked down the spiral staircase with Huo Xingzhou, and the man's burning gaze was always on her, making her heart tremble. She could feel the strong and surging affection.
If the situation had not been wrong, he might have been able to kill her on the spot.
He seemed to be on the verge of losing control.
What happened to him during that time apart? Qiao Xi was very curious.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and felt her mouth was dry.
She only dared to peek at his expression with her peripheral vision, fearing that she would be burned to ashes if she met his gaze. The big palm holding his hand was scalding hot.
Her heart was beating very fast.
Just as the two walked down the spiral staircase, Zhong Shao and Xiang Mingzhu came over. Qiao Xi tried hard to control the beating of her heart and her expression was a little cold.
