Chapter 700 He is just jealous

A secret for two men.

Qiao Xi understood in her heart, but still felt a little sad.

"I know Zhong Yi is Ah Yi. So many details point to him. But I always feel that the dead cannot be resurrected, and I also thought that Master Cheng and he would never deceive me."

But she forgot.

There is also a kind of white lie in this world.

She didn't have the chance to ask Zhong Yi about her difficulties, nor did she wait for Master Cheng to wake up.

The truth came flooding in like a tide, drowning her.

Huo Xingzhou turned his head and looked at her slowly.

When he went to the Thirteen Bay Pier tonight, he was thinking that this matter could no longer be kept secret.

But I didn’t expect that Qiao Xi already knew about it.

Huo Xingzhou's anger grew even more intense: "When did you know?"

"After I learned acupuncture from Mr. Huang, I gradually came into contact with Zhongyi. I found that many of his habits and details were very similar to Ayi's." Qiao Xi's voice was soft and cautious.

She carefully considered her words, fearing to irritate the man beside her.

"There may be people in this world who look alike and have the same name. But it's impossible for them to be identical in every detail, and the reasons for your cooperation are too strong."

She became suspicious.

"What really confirmed his identity was a handwriting appraisal. I heard that laymen can't tell any similarity in handwriting. But the same person's pen movement and writing force can be identified, even if the fonts are different. So... when I went to your study that day..."

Huo Xingzhou was almost amused by her: "Looking for Zhong Yi's autograph?"

"Um."

Qiao Xi nodded gently. "I found a draft of the agreement you drafted. I asked Xu Xiuyuan to find an expert to appraise it for me."

The result is the same person.

That handwriting became the final evidence for her decision.

"Very cautious and careful." Huo Xingzhou praised with a serious face, "Very good."

He is indeed a student trained by him.

Rapid progress!

It made him sigh!

She had such a big thing in her heart, yet she was still able to plan and plot against Lu Yingxue.

Make sure it is watertight!

For a moment, Huo Xingzhou didn't know whether to admire her or himself.

It was he who nurtured a simple little white flower into a bouquet of roses.

"So Wan Jiang told you tonight that Zhong Yi was in trouble and needed your rescue. You agreed without even thinking about it, right?" Huo Xingzhou looked at her, his tone still very calm.

But the interior of the car with the heater on seemed to be stagnant.

Lao Chen and Zhou Yu were sitting in the front, not daring to make a sound. However, Zhou Yu still had enough courage to peek at their expressions through the rearview mirror.

Huo Xingzhou shouted sharply: "Turn the rearview mirror around."

"oh."

Zhou Yu was like a quail. He immediately turned the rearview mirror and closed his eyes.

He interrupted it.

The atmosphere between the two people in the back seat became cold and suffocating again.

Qiao Xi's fingers fiddled with it until they turned white.

So he said, "I thought about you at that time. But I was too one-sided..."

She didn't rush in headfirst.

She knew that tonight was very important to the Tianyuan Group, so she didn't want to take Huo Xingzhou away with her at first. She originally thought that it would be enough to take Lao Chen and a few bodyguards with her, but she didn't expect it to be such a life-and-death situation.

Qiao Xi turned her head and looked at him seriously, her eyes misty.

"I thought I could have it both ways, but it turns out I was just too conceited."

She felt guilty, but she did not regret her decision.

Because there is no choice.

Huo Xingzhou was holding his breath, and his handsome face became even colder.

She didn't know what made him angry.

The situation in the car was deadlocked again.

Chi.

The wheels rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound.

Old Chen reminded softly, "Young Master, we're home."

"knew."

Huo Xingzhou opened the car door and walked out.

Qiao Xi looked at his back and slowly got out of the car. The cold wind outside made her shiver.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Yu whispered to comfort her, "He just cares too much about your safety, and he's a little jealous."

It's not like he hasn't seen Huo Er die before.

The more you care, the more you pretend to be nonchalant.

But everyone could see that he was not in a good mood.

"I understand. Besides, I was just too impulsive in this matter."

Qiao Xi decided to coax him when he was no longer angry.

After she finished talking to Zhou Yu, she returned home.

Only Lao Chen and Xiao Yuan were in the living room.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan said quickly, "Madam, I have prepared your bath water. The young master, the eldest son of the Xie family, the grandson and the eldest daughter are all in the study. They seem to be reporting on the banquet tonight."

"I see."

Qiao Xi went straight upstairs, opened the bedroom door, took her home clothes and went into the bathroom.

The bathroom was filled with steam.

She took off her dirty dress and put it aside, then lifted her legs and stepped into the bathtub.

Immerse yourself in hot water.

The cold wind from the Thirteen Bays Pier was finally driven away for a moment.

Her hands were shaking and her breathing gradually became steady.

Qiao Xi lowered her head, tears welled up from the corners of her eyes and dripped into the bathtub.

…

And in the study.

Sun Weimeng and Huo Sijiao stood together, both staring at Huo Xingzhou with misty eyes.

Huo Sijiao was the most impatient and said, "Brother, where did you go tonight? Many people have been asking me this question, and I really don't know. One moment they say you went to the bathroom, and the next moment they say you were drunk and resting."

She knew something big had happened.

Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "Some private matters. You guys go out first. Mr. Xie and I have something to talk about."

"oh."

Huo Sijiao glanced at Zhilan Yushu's thank you statement and felt a little embarrassed.

She moved reluctantly.

Sun Weimeng tugged at her sleeve, winked at her, then took out his cell phone and shook it.

Huo Sijiao followed him out in confusion.

After they left, they closed the door.

Before the door was closed tightly, a scream was heard.

"Zhong Yi is dead!"

These four words were clearly heard by Huo Xingzhou and Xie Xubai.

Xie Xubai raised his eyebrows slightly, moved a chair and sat in front of Huo Xingzhou and said, "It seems that the entertainment media nowadays is really omnipresent and follows up on the latest gossip in real time. But whether this news was filmed by them or leaked by someone else is unknown."

He looked at Huo Xingzhou.

Thanks to some connections of the Xie family in the imperial capital, Xie Xubai already had a general idea of ​​what happened at the Thirteen Bays Pier tonight.

But he was not sure whether the news was true or not.

"Boss Huo, is Zhong Yi really dead?"

This is not good news for the Xie family. If Zhong Yi dies today, it might be Xie's turn to make an explanation tomorrow.

Huo Xingzhou half-closed his eyes and played with a pen in his hand.

His voice was slow and he said, "He was seriously injured and is recovering. He didn't die."

Xie Xubai heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

But what Huo Xingzhou said next made him raise his voice again.
