Chapter 72 Meeting the Parents
The Huo family's affairs were getting bigger and bigger, and Huo Xi couldn't suppress them no matter how much money he invested.
Huo Xi finally realized that she might have offended someone she could not afford to offend.
Her mood took a turn for the worse, and she began to think of the worst.
The Huo Group would suffer a heavy blow due to these scandals. As for her, the Huo Group wouldn't be unable to protect her, but they would likely strip her of some of her positions within the group.
Just when she was in a state of panic, she received a call from her father.
Huo Xi originally thought her father would scold her, but unexpectedly, her father only said this: "Xiao Xi, think carefully about who you have offended recently. This time, the matter has become very serious. The Lu family called and said that if you inherit the Huo family, the Huo family will not be able to gain a foothold in the empire. Daddy has no choice."
Huo Xi said in shock: "Dad, what did you say? The Lu family, it was the Lu family who messed with us?"
Huo's father said: "It's not just the Lu family, it's not just the Lu family. There's nothing I can do. I'm really scared. If this doesn't stop, the entire Huo family and the empire will not be able to do business."
The Huo family's business looked big, after all, it was in infrastructure. But infrastructure was also a very large business, and if you weren't careful and couldn't handle it, it could be very dangerous.
The Huo family was well aware of their situation, which was not good. It was precisely because of this that Huo's father asked Huo Xi to find a way to marry into the warlord Lu family to consolidate her position.
So, it is not the Lu family that needs the Huo family, but the Huo family that needs the Lu family.
After saying that, Huo Xi staggered a few steps, and Huo's father hung up the phone.
Huo Xi knew that this matter was irreversible.
Not long after, the news was posted on Huo’s official website.
"announcement:
Regarding the series of events about the Huo family on the Internet, it has been verified that it was indeed done by Huo Xi, the vice president of the Huo family.
Huo Xi will be held responsible for the following events.
(omitted)
The Huo Group has now decided to remove Huo Xi from all his positions in the Huo Group and cancel his status as a candidate for successor to the Huo Group.
The Huo Group will provide reasonable compensation to all affected families.
Huo Group
Huo Xi clenched his laptop tightly, then threw it out angrily!
Lu… Ye Qiao? Was it all because of Ye Qiao? Did Lu find out about her framing Ye Qiao? So Lu was helping Ye Qiao bully her like this?
Huo Xi's expression turned ferocious. Ye Qiao, Ye Qiao, you are just an ordinary person, what makes you think you can do that?
…
Lu Gang hurriedly took Lu Anguo and a bunch of gifts to the Qiao family.
Lu Gang was anxious: "How come Lu Junliang's matter has been implicated in Qiao's little daughter? How come we have implicated her? Oh, what is going on?"
Lu Anguo said: "Dad, I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet. Qiao Yuanyu may not be angry."
Lu Gang: "How can I not be angry? He loves his daughter so much. And yet, she's been dragged down by our family's troubles. How can I not be angry? I can't take advantage of my age and bully the Qiao family."
Lu Anguo was afraid that Lu Gang would get hurt out of his anxiety: "Calm down, don't worry. At worst, we will give the Qiao family any compensation they want."
"Yes, yes, let's go to their house first and apologize."
…
Qiao Xiu drove to pick up Qiao Ye and Lu Chi and took them to Qiao's house.
On the way, Qiao Xiu briefly explained the situation to Qiao Ye: "Ye Qiao, you are going there to help Lu Chi's grandfather and father with their mental health. I haven't discussed the cost in detail, but the Lu family shouldn't be too stingy."
Qiao Ye drank the fruit drink that Lu Chi bought, looked at Lu Chi again, smiled with curved eyebrows and said, "Okay."
Qiao Ye has always been very generous to heroes. Grandpa Lu and Uncle Lu are well-known heroes in the empire and are also relatives of Lu Chi, so it doesn't matter even if they don't charge any fees.
Qiao Xiu continued, "Ye Qiao, the two generals might want to see you. Would you like to?"
Qiao Ye had never shown up before, and the situation had been sorted out remotely. But this time, it was the two Lu family members, whose relationship and identities were quite special. So Qiao Xiu asked.
"Sure. It's okay."
Lu Chi lowered her eyes slightly, and the young man was secretly looking at her.
Qiao Qiao and his father had met once before in Xishan Nursing Home, but the engagement was cancelled after all.
Now it's time to renew the marriage contract.
So this time is equivalent to taking Qiao Qiao to meet the parents?
The boy had a strange feeling in his heart.
Excitement and uneasiness coexist.
Qiao Xiu and the other two took a sightseeing bus to the entrance of the villa, and Lu Gang and Lu Anguo came out enthusiastically.
"Xiao Qiaoqiao, why are you here? Oh my, Grandpa Lu didn't have time to prepare a gift for you."
Qiao Ye was surrounded by the two elders, especially Lu Gang, whose rough, calloused hands grasped Qiao Ye's. The old man's eyes shone with kindness.
"You look so good, so good. No wonder Yi Yuanhua said you are likable."
Qiao Ye's eyes curved up, and she said sweetly, "Hello, Grandpa Lu."
"Okay, Grandpa Lu is fine."
When they arrived at the Qiao family's living room, Lu Gang looked at Qiao Yuanyu and complained, "We agreed to come and apologize, but you called the child over. How can I put my face aside in front of the child?"
That's what they said, but Lu Gang and Lu Anguo knew that Qiao Yuanyu didn't blame them because he brought Qiao Ye from school to meet them.
However, the two people from the Lu family were really quick and figured out Qiao Ye’s identity so quickly.
Qiao Yuanyu coughed lightly twice and said, "Those things are not important. General Lu, don't take them to heart."
Lu Gang was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. He loved Qiao Ye more, so he turned around and joked with Qiao Ye, "Little Qiao Qiao, if you have anything to do in the future, just call Lu Chi to do it, okay? He's tough and resilient. You can order him around. If he dares to bully you or make you angry, you can complain to Grandpa. I'll see if Grandpa breaks his legs!"
Lu Chi couldn't help it and choked while drinking water.
Qiao Ye said, "It's okay, Grandpa Lu. He can't beat me. I guess I'm the only one who can bully him."
Lu Chi felt even more uncomfortable choking.
Lu Gang said repeatedly: "That's right, there's no way Lu Chi can beat you."
Lu Chi muttered quietly: "Whether we can or not, we can't beat him now."
Qiao Ye nodded repeatedly.
Several elders thought that Lu Chi was being modest and did not take what the two juniors said seriously.
Lu Chi poured tea for everyone.
Lu Gang continued to ask, "Xiao Qiaoqiao, are you used to life at school? Is anyone bullying you? If someone does, tell Grandpa and he'll teach them a lesson for you!"
Lu Chi: "I won't let anyone bully her, so don't worry about it."
Qiao Ye also smiled and said, "No one can bully me, Grandpa Lu, don't worry."
Seeing that the greetings were almost over, Qiao Xiu said with a smile, "Grandpa Lu, Uncle Lu, how about we sort out our mental states first?"
"Mental combing?" Lu Gang was a little confused.
Qiao Xiu smiled and said, “Grandpa Lu, didn’t you say you wanted a senior guide to tell you about the spiritual seahorse killing chicken?”
Lu Gang was puzzled: "Is the senior guide you mentioned here now?"
Qiao Xiu and Lu Chi looked in Qiao Ye's direction at the same time.
Lu Gang and Lu Anguo looked at Qiao Ye in surprise. "No way, the guide with powerful mental power that Qiao Yuanyu mentioned is you?"
Qiao Ye nodded.
Lu Anguo asked, "Xiao Qiaoqiao, have you ever had your mental strength measured? What is it?"
Qiao Ye shook his head: "I haven't tested it, and I don't want to test it."
Lu Gang pushed Lu Anguo away and said, "If Xiao Qiaoqiao doesn't want to be tested, then we won't do it. Don't worry about your Uncle Lu."
Lu Anguo looked helpless. He was just asking and didn't ask anyone to test their mental strength.
Lu Chi smiled and said, "Qiao Qiao, my grandfather's mental strength is SSS level, and my father's is SS level."
Qiao Ye asked Lu Chi, "Can I help you comb your hair?"
Before Lu Chi could answer, Lu Gang was shocked. "Combing together?"
Qiao Ye nodded. "I've been training my mental power recently, and I feel like I can manage two people's mental powers at once. This is my first time managing two people's mental powers at once. Would you like to give it a try?"
