Chapter 475 Qiao Xi is jealous
Qiao Xi was stunned as she digested this shocking news.
Huo Xingzhou didn't care how much shock his words caused.
He pulled Qiao Xi out of the door and got into the car.
Lao Chen started the Rolls-Royce and sensed the abnormal atmosphere between them, but he didn't dare to say a word.
Qiao Xi turned to look at the man and asked, "When did Li Nianqi fall in love with you? Isn't this the first time you met? No, there was also last night. Li Nianqi fell in love with you at first sight."
Thinking of the moment in the living room when she was being talked to by Old Lady Li and Li Nianqi trying every way to seduce her husband, Qiao Xi felt a sour taste in her heart.
It's light and a little bit fiery.
She bit her lip and her cheeks puffed up with anger.
Huo Xingzhou reached out and poked her cheek: "Why are you so angry? Others like me, and I can't control it."
Qiao Xi frowned and said, "I'm just so angry that I didn't notice her little trick just now. No wonder she dressed up so beautifully today, but spoke so rudely to me. She even said that I was cheating on you because I was pregnant with someone else's child!"
How annoying!
Last night, Li Nianqi spread rumors and said bad things about her after they left. Maybe she also liked Huo Xingzhou and hated her.
Huo Xingzhou hugged her and laughed, "Are you jealous?"
He rarely saw her jealous.
I thought she didn't care about anything.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and said frankly, "I am a little jealous, but more angry. It is so immoral for her to do these things. Fortunately, I don't have much hope for the Li family. It is better to rely on yourself than on others."
Huo Xingzhou said softly: "You can rely on me occasionally, I'm not bad either."
Qiao Xi was amused by him: "So the most important purpose of your visit to the Li family today is not to deliver the safe key, but to warn Li Nianqi and Madam Li?"
At first, she thought of the friendship between the two families and changed her name to call the old lady Grandma Li.
Now I can't even shout it out.
How could Li Nianqi wear that imperial green necklace around her neck without her permission?
Maybe the old lady also has a lot of selfish motives.
Huo Xingzhou said softly, "Sometimes flies can spoil the whole pot of porridge, and small characters can also cause trouble. I'll warn you in advance and ask Madam Li to discipline her granddaughter. It's best not to let her out during this period."
"Are you afraid that she will affect the test meeting?"
"Well. No matter how poor she is, she has lived in the imperial capital for so many years." Huo Xingzhou lowered his head, his eyes level with hers, and said seriously, "Qiao Xi, I don't want you to take any risks."
So he takes everything into consideration and pays attention to every detail.
Qiao Xi felt warm in her heart when she heard his words.
She stared at him and said, "Next time something like this happens, let me do it myself. I'm very stingy and don't want you to be coveted by other women, especially someone like Li Nianqi."
"good."
Huo Xingzhou said softly, "But I'm afraid you won't have the chance to do anything. Madam Li looks very serious. Li Nianqi will definitely be taught a lesson."
…
Huo Xingzhou's guess was correct.
As soon as he and Qiao Xi left the Li family, Mrs. Li's scrutinizing eyes fell on Li Nianqi, pointing her finger at her, her lips twitching.
"Kneel down before me, you bastard! How dare you covet a married woman? Have you thrown away all the principles I taught you?"
"grandmother……"
Li Nianqi's face was covered with tears and she looked at her in fear.
“Kneel down!”
Old Madam Li shouted angrily.
Li Nianqi had no choice but to kneel down on the ground with a bang.
She was raised by her grandmother, who knew that she attached great importance to etiquette. It seemed that only in this way could some traces of the former glory of the Li family be preserved.
Li Nianqi grew up under this traditional "lady" etiquette, and she felt suffocated.
I really want to find a way out.
She wanted to rebel, to be a heretic, to break out of this cage.
The appearance of Huo Xingzhou aroused the most desires and indulgences in her heart.
Madam Li looked at her, her eyes flashing with uncontrollable anger: "Someone, bring the ruler. I'm going to enforce family discipline today!"
"grandmother……"
Li Nianqi suddenly raised her head and looked at her, "No."
The Li family's ruler is no joke, and it is not something they will take out easily.
Li Nianqi had seen his brother from the same clan being beaten until his skin was torn.
She thought that since she was a girl, her grandmother wouldn't be so cruel.
But I didn't expect... that I would be punished by the family.
Old Mrs. Li stood there motionless, and the servant quickly took the ruler and handed it to her with both hands.
Old Mrs. Li held the heavy ruler in her hand, her cheeks tense.
"Put your hands out," she ordered.
"No, grandma..."
Under her pressing gaze, Li Nianqi slowly stretched out her delicate right hand.
Bang!
He hit her palm hard.
A red mark soon appeared on the palm of my hand and slowly began to swell.
"ah!"
Li Nianqi screamed in pain and tears rolled down her cheeks.
Madam Li said in a deep voice: "You still have the nerve to cry?"
She really hated the fact that she couldn't make it!
Another hard hit!
Although the other grandchildren she raised were not particularly outstanding, they all had good morals. This youngest one, however, seemed to be born with a rebellious nature.
No matter how I teach him, he won’t listen!
He appears to be obedient on the surface, but he actually has a lot of ulterior motives.
Bang!
The old lady's face turned livid and she hit her palm with all her strength.
Li Nianqi kept crying and howling. His right hand was swollen like a steamed bun and bloodstains could be vaguely seen.
“Bang!”
The old lady frowned, trying hard to control her anger, and looked at the crying Li Nianqi with her cloudy yet determined eyes.
"You are so ungrateful. I will beat you, you ungrateful ungrateful bastard. The Liu family saved me and gave me a jewelry store. You didn't appreciate it and even gossiped and said bad things about me!"
Bang!
"I'm going to hit you for being immoral, for seducing someone else's husband!"
Old Madam Li pulled off the butterfly crystal hairpin on her hair and threw it to the ground, "You are so shameless and flirtatious!"
Li Nianqi covered her head, her scalp aching.
Crying even louder.
The old lady felt extremely upset listening to her crying.
Her temples were throbbing with pain: "This is the last blow. I hit you for being rude and hurting Qiao Xi with my words!"
Bang!
The last blow hit Li Nianqi's face.
Li Nianqi covered her cheeks and looked at her in disbelief.
Her cheeks felt numb, and then there were bursts of burning pain. Her face was not pretty enough to begin with, and her grandmother hit her in the face, which made her too embarrassed to go out!
Her fair skin turned red, the marks of the ruler were obvious, and her eyes were filled with anger as she glared at the old lady.
Madam Li looked unhappy and asked, "Are you not convinced?"
Li Nianqi bit her lip, slowly stood up and approached Old Mrs. Li.
There seemed to be some cruelty in those eyes.
