Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Husband, you are so good to me!

Xiang Huai stood still for a long time.

Xu Xingluo looked at him impatiently and said, "Why haven’t you left yet?"

"Xingluo, after thinking it over, there are two things I still need to tell you," Xiang Huai said resolutely.

Xu Xingluo asked with a frown, "What things?"

"Xingluo, the stock price of the Xu’s has been falling limit down. It’s going to be delisted and go bankrupt soon, and your 20% shareholding... is worthless now."

Vanished overnight!

This must be Huo Xingzhou’s doing.

Xu Xingluo’s eyes widened in disbelief.

She was broke now?

"You’re lying! Xu’s is so big, how could it possibly go bankrupt? Could a company not survive without my dad?"

"Xingluo, it was the Liu Family and Huo Xingzhou who did this. They divided up Xu’s market, directly pushing Xu’s into bankruptcy."

The moment they took action, Xu’s truly couldn’t withstand it!

Xu Xingluo’s heart palpitated.

She murmured, "And the other thing?"

Xiang Huai sat next to her, wrapped an arm around her shoulder, and said, "The police found the dead infant Li Daming buried twenty-two years ago and did a DNA comparison with your father, and it turned out that the child wasn’t your father’s."

"Now the police are preparing to find Liu Huimin for a second round of comparisons, and the situation has become more and more complicated."

Xiang Huai looked at her with pity and said, "Could it be possible that Liu Huimin had an affair... which is why your father did the baby-switching thing?"

Xu Xingluo felt a chill all over!

In the midst of the scorching summer, she felt as if she was in the dead of winter.

She looked dazed and slowly said, "Is this information reliable?"

"It’s reliable. The police might have already set off."

Xu Xingluo’s throat was dry.

How could it be so fast!

"Xiang Huai, how long does it usually take for the police to do an identification?"

"Within three working days."

Xu Xingluo fearfully covered her chest.

The Liu Family was going to find out that the real daughter was alive!

They would investigate step by step until they reached Qiao Xi!

She had to stop all of this!

"Xiang Huai, please leave. I want to make a phone call..."

"Okay."

Concerned about her having received such a heavy blow, Xiang Huai reluctantly left the hospital room.

Xu Xingluo unpacked a new phone, inserted the SIM card, and turned it on.

She went straight to the contacts list and made a call, her tone cold, "Beiting, you’re back in the country, right? Hurry up and find a chance to make your move. Whatever you need me to do, just say the word."

All she wanted was for Qiao Xi to die!

Even at the cost of her own life!

...

Evening time.

Qiao Xi took off her white lab coat, changed into her usual clothes, and walked outside.

The nurses, doctors, and patients she encountered in the hospital corridor all greeted her.

"Doctor Qiao, are you off work?"

"Be careful on your way."

"Doctor Qiao, you’ve worked hard."

Qiao Xi’s apricot eyes curved, and she said with a smile on her face, "Not at all, goodbye everyone."

She saw the Rolls-Royce parked outside as soon as she stepped out, along with the man standing beside the car.

"Mr. Huo!"

She warmly took the man’s hand, "Why are you here too? Old Chen picking me up to go home is enough."

"Just want to accompany you for a bit, Zhou Yu is here too."

Zhou Yu stuck his head out from the passenger seat, cheekily greeting her, "Hello, sister-in-law! We owe our early off time to you today! Thankfully no overtime!"

Qiao Xi greeted Zhou Yu and then gave Huo Xingzhou a meaningful look.

As if to ask him what he was up to.

Huo Xingzhou’s expression remained calm, with a barely perceptible raise of his eyebrows.

Qiao Xi coughed lightly and pointed out Shu Xue, who had just walked out of the hospital gate, "Oh? Isn’t that Shu Xue? I didn’t expect her relationship with her blind date to be going so well, getting to the point of pick-ups and drop-offs for work."

Zhou Yu looked over subconsciously.

Sure enough, he saw a sexy nurse pulling open the door of an Audi A3.

She sat in the passenger seat with a glowing smile.

Zhou Yu bit his cheek and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, I just saw her drinking alone at Fuchun Garden a couple of days ago. She said she was heartbroken then, how did she find someone new so quickly?"

Qiao Xi innocently said, "Maybe the best way to get over a scumbag is to start a new relationship."

Scumbag?

Is that what Shu Xue said about him behind his back?

Why didn’t she call herself a scumbag woman?

Zhou Yu forced a few laughs, "She’s pretty open-minded."

Huo Xingzhou glanced over indifferently, his disdain ice-cold, "You can get out of the car now."

Muttering to himself, Zhou Yu opened the car door, "Got it, I won’t disturb your little world for two."

He cursed under his breath.

Capitalist! Heartless boss! Huo Xingzhou who forgets his loyalty at the sight of beauty!

Qiao Xi watched Zhou Yu leave, covering her mouth with a laugh, "What did Mr. Zhou come to the hospital for?"

"He said he came for a physical examination."

"Oh, who waits until after hospital hours for a physical exam?"

Qiao Xi saw through it all.

Shu Xue’s schedule was released on Monday; she was supposed to be on the night shift today, but she switched shifts with a colleague to meet Qin Yuan.

It seemed she was seriously trying to build a relationship with Qin Yuan.

Zhou Yu probably came... to find Shu Xue, right?

The physical check-up was just an excuse.

"Let’s go."

Huo Xingzhou took her hand, their fingers interlocking.

"Where to?"

"The mall."

Qiao Xi was full of doubts; what was there that the president of Tianyuan Group needed to buy personally?

Near the hospital was one of Haicheng City’s most bustling shopping centers.

The man’s expression was indifferent and noble as he walked hand in hand with her through the busy streets.

Upon entering the shopping center, the manager who had been informed earlier was waiting at the door.

As soon as they arrived, they took the VIP corridor to the top floor’s brand-name stores, with driver Old Chen accustomed to such scenes following them.

Qiao Xi walked beside him, slowly moving forward.

"No need to follow," Huo Xingzhou said to the manager.

The manager promptly nodded, "Then if you need anything, just let me know."

"Sure."

Huo Xingzhou responded coldly.

He seemed so aloof to many people but would show an exceptionally tender side to the family he cared about.

Qiao Xi pursed her lips, her smile lifting at the corners.

They finally entered a shop selling luxury watches, the clerk handing a custom-made women’s watch to Huo Xingzhou with both hands, "President Huo, here is the custom watch you ordered through the VIP channel. It’s a pair with yours."

A custom Patek Philippe watch.

"I know; tell your boss his request has been granted."

"Will do."

Looking down at the delicate women’s watch, Qiao Xi saw the tiny, shiny diamonds within the dial, sparkling and beautiful.

"Stretch out your hand, try it on for size." His gaze was intense, his eyes conveying a melting tenderness as they swept over her.

Qiao Xi extended her fair, slender hand, watching the man place the watch on her wrist.

This was a pair!

Qiao Xi felt sweet inside.

He whispered, "This contains a tracking device. Toggle the dial to activate the location feature, so I can always know your whereabouts. If you face danger, toggle twice, and Tianyuan Group’s satellite will locate and send out an automatic alarm signal, and I’ll know."

Surprise flashed in Qiao Xi’s eyes as she curiously examined the watch.

It even had that kind of feature!

It was quite amazing.

She looked up, a soft warmth swirling in her eyes and colliding with his, "Husband, you are so good to me!"

"So I’m ’husband’ when you’re receiving gifts? How come you call me so distantly at other times?" he asked in return.
