Chapter 82 Love between men and women, unable to control oneself

"Hello."

Qiao Xi panted slightly and said to the phone, "Excuse me, who is this?"

Huo Xingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and bit her earlobe gently, causing Qiao Xi to scream in surprise.

"Mr. Huo!"

Qiao Xi said angrily, "Don't..."

The person on the other end of the phone breathed rapidly and hung up immediately.

Huo Xingzhou raised his eyebrows and distanced himself from her.

"There have been a lot of calls like this recently?" Huo Xingzhou asked thoughtfully.

Qiao Xi nodded: "Some of them answered the phone but didn't speak, and some came to seek medical advice. But my finger was injured so badly that I can't see any more patients at the moment. The hospital urged me to go back for a long time, and Dr. Yan told me to go back and be a mascot who gets paid."

“They all like you very much.”

Huo Xingzhou tucked her hair behind her ears and said, "I'll take you home first, and then go to the police station to deal with Huo Jianjun's matter."

"No, I can go back by myself." Qiao Xi didn't want to take up his time.

"Then I'll let Lao Chen take you back."

"Um."

During this special period, Qiao Xi did not dare to act alone.

Huo Xingzhou's eyes fell on her shoulders. He gently picked up her shoulder straps with his fingers, and a chuckle seemed to be hidden in his throat: "The shoulder straps are exposed."

I am always unable to control myself when I am confused and lost in love.

Qiao Xi's ears turned red.

She bit her lip and straightened her clothes.

"Mr. Chen's car is right at the entrance of the building."

"I know. Goodbye, Mr. Huo!"

Qiao Xi walked briskly to the door and then turned back.

She stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of the man's lips: "This is a return gift."

After saying that, she ran out.

Huo Xingzhou's eyes were slightly deep. Love between men and women sometimes could not be controlled.

His patience and restraint were almost at their limit.

She was still teasing unconsciously.

…

Qiao Xi went downstairs and returned to the Huo family villa in a very good mood.

Huo Jiancheng was sitting in the living room, feeling uneasy.

Seeing her coming, he quickly stood up and greeted her: "Qiao Xi!"

Qiao Xi paused and called out politely, "Eunuch."

"Qiao Xi, can I ask you to go somewhere with me? I have something urgent." Huo Jiancheng looked anxious, with sweat on his forehead.

"I……"

"It won't be dangerous. Please."

Huo Jiancheng interrupted her and said.

Qiao Xi frowned, but finally nodded with embarrassment. Huo Jiancheng and Du Ya had always been very kind to her, even better than her biological parents.

"I knew you were a good kid. Come on! My car is parked outside."

Huo Jiancheng pulled her out.

The two got in the car and drove away. Qiao Xi looked at the familiar scenery and asked, "Are we going to the Huo family's old house?"

Huo Jiancheng looked unnatural, and he hesitantly explained: "Something happened with the old man, and I have no one I can trust, so I can only look for you. Qiao Xi, I'm not deliberately making things difficult for you, just think of it as helping me."

Qiao Xi's face was calm.

She thought of what Huo Xingzhou had said to her at the Huo family.

He said that tonight, there might be a big move.

She looked outside and saw golden crows falling from the west and rosy clouds filling the sky.

It will be dark soon.

After driving for an hour, the car finally stopped at the solemn and heavy old house.

"Qiao Xi, hurry up!"

Huo Jiancheng was very anxious.

Qiao Xi followed him and trotted in.

The housekeeper Ah Zhong heaved a sigh of relief when he saw them: "You are finally here. The old man and the young master are still in the room. What a sin!"

He then led the way.

Qiao Xi discovered that the servants in the Huo family's old house looked hurried and frightened.

Even the usually arrogant Wang Fengxian was nowhere to be seen.

She had a feeling that something big had happened.

"Is Dad in there?"

Huo Jiancheng sighed. He knew that Huo Jianjun had been arrested and Huo Beiting had done something like that again.

What a misfortune for this family!

He felt even more sympathetic towards the old man.

"It's inside. But the master has instructed that if Miss Qiao Xi comes, she should be allowed in alone." Butler A Zhong reminded.

Huo Jiancheng pointed at his nose and said, "I can't go in? But Qiao Xi..."

Qiao Xi pursed her lips tightly, looked at the mahogany door in front of her and said, "I'll go in by myself."

She put her hand on the door handle and turned it gently.

The antique display cabinet on the wall made it impossible to see what the bedroom looked like.

This was her second time coming to the bedroom of the old man of the Huo family.

The door behind him was closed by A Zhong.

Qiao Xi paused and walked inside.

Huo Beiting was pinned to the ground by a sturdy bodyguard with a distorted expression. The old man of the Huo family closed his eyes and leaned on a recliner. There was a bowl of black, already cold Chinese medicine on the bamboo tea table next to him.

"You're here."

Huo Weiguo's voice was gloomy and sad. He opened his eyes slightly and looked at Qiao Xi, but there was no light in his eyes.

"Did you come here specifically to see me?" Qiao Xi looked at Huo Beiting, who was pinned to the ground in a state of extreme plight, and her eyes fell on the old man.

"yes."

Huo Weiguo's attitude towards her became much calmer.

He waved his hand and said, "Please help me check what's in this soup."

Qiao Xi walked closer, carefully picked up the bowl of medicine and sniffed it.

A familiar taste.

"The tampered white aconite root and the radix angelicae pubescens... taking them directly will cause poisoning and death. This is the medicine Zhuo Feng used to deal with Mr. Huo."

Qiao Xi said calmly.

After hearing this, Huo Weiguo took a deep breath and said, "Evil beast!"

He threw the glass in his hand at Huo Beiting, instantly making his forehead red and swollen.

"Grandpa!" Huo Beiting burst into tears. "It was Huo Xingzhou who killed them all. He put my dad in jail. Now he has to deal with me! I must get 30% of the shares to compete with him."

Huo Weiguo was so angry that he coughed for a while.

"Even if you get the shares, you won't be able to compete with him!"

"Why! Even you stand on Huo Xingzhou's side. Starting from your seventieth birthday, you have wanted to give the shares to Huo Xingzhou, right?" Huo Beiting roared. He raised his head defiantly and looked at the old man with hatred.

Huo Weiguo said in a hoarse voice: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't be biased. I cleaned up the mess for you after the car accident. I didn't want to lose two grandsons at the same time. I didn't expect you to become even more aggressive. Haven't I been good enough to your eldest wife?"

"Good? Because we are easy to control. We listen to whatever you say. Unlike Huo Xingzhou who has his own opinion!"

Huo Beiting smiled sadly, his eyes turned red.

Huo Weiguo waved his hand and said with disappointment: "I will not pursue the poisoning today. Send him out. I don't want to see him anymore."

I didn't expect that at the age of seventy, I would become a lonely man.

The bodyguards escorted Huo Beiting out of the room, leaving Qiao Xi and the old man alone in the huge room.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Mr. Huo looked at Qiao Xi and said.

Qiao Xi looked at him calmly and said, "You asked me to come here not just to identify the poison, right?"

Mr. Huo said softly, "Go open the bedside cabinet, the first drawer."

Qiao Xi frowned slightly and walked over.

I opened the first drawer and saw what was inside.
