Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him

Chapter 296: Chapter 296: I am Worthy of You

Liu Huimin and Xu Guangyao did so many disgraceful things, how could they deserve such a wonderful daughter like a sister-in-law!

Xu Xingluo is more like family with them.

Huo Sijiao thought discontentedly.

Qiao Xi looked down, she had never considered this question, let alone digested the secret of her heritage.

She said hoarsely, "Maybe they recognized the wrong person again."

She hadn’t seen definitive evidence and was unwilling to accept that Liu Huimin was her biological mother.

Qiao Xi didn’t really want to talk about this topic.

Huo Sijiao frowned and said, "But they described everything so vividly, even with a DNA test. And sister-in-law looks like Liu Huimin ..."

"Jiaojiao."

Huo Xingzhou, standing to the side, watched her and called out quietly.

Huo Sijiao, feeling goosebumps from his stare, asked, "Brother, what’s wrong?"

"Where did you learn to say such hurtful words?"

Huo Sijiao was frightened by his stern expression and swallowed hard, "The internet."

"Spend less time online."

"Ah."

She hurriedly made an excuse to leave, "I’m going home to hurry Aunt Qian to prepare a nourishing tonic for sister-in-law, I’ll bring it over once it’s ready."

"Hmm, go ahead."

Huo Sijiao, feeling as if she had been granted amnesty, ran off in a flash.

Huo Xingzhou took a bank card out of his suit pocket and then stuffed it back, initially intending to reward her for speaking eloquently.

Unfortunately, she ran off too quickly.

Qiao Xi watched her sister-in-law’s retreating figure with amusement and covered her lips with a laugh, which led to a coughing fit.

Huo Xingzhou gently patted her back, "Let’s go back to the ward, you still have a fever."

"Hmm."

Qiao Xi obediently let him hold her as they walked to the ward.

When Huo Xingzhou asked her to lie down, she shook her head, "Mr. Huo, I’ve slept enough."

Qiao Xi pulled the man to sit on the couch, the two of them nestled together, sharing a moment of tender warmth.

Huo Xingzhou leaned in, pressing his forehead gently against hers, not as hot as before.

"Were you scared today?"

Qiao Xi, leaning in his embrace with a nasal voice, said, "The one who should be scared is Huo Beiting."

Huo Xingzhou was amused by her fierce tone, "Indeed. He lost an eye when he was caught, and his body bore marks of beating, appearing quite disheveled. You’re incredible!"

He didn’t skimp on praise.

Qiao Xi’s eyes sparkled, "Really incredible? Too bad I was still outsmarted by Huo Beiting, I didn’t expect him to tamper with the car as well."

Damn it!

"That’s not your fault, I’ve been fooled too."

Huo Xingzhou, his features elegant, his thin lips slightly parting, "He placed sugar and some reagents in the sports car’s engine. The high temperature led to carbonization, and with bad luck, the vehicle could lose control and explode."

After high temperature carbonization, almost no trace is left.

Last time he used the same method and almost killed him.

This time, luckily, they arrived in time to gather evidence.

Huo Xingzhou, sitting very close to her, said in a lowered voice, "Qiao Xi, it was my oversight this time. I thought with Old Chen following you, you’d be safe enough in Haicheng."

Qiao Xi shook her head, "Constant vigilance is better than being unprepared. The weaker I am, the more villains will come. I don’t want to be a burden to you; I will grow too. Someday, they will say ... I am worthy to be with you."

Huo Xingzhou tenderly stroked her head, "No, I am the one who married up to the little Divine Doctor."

Qiao Xi, pale-faced, still smiled radiantly.

The atmosphere was just right.

The sound of a knock arose.

"Didn’t disturb you two, did I?" Shu Xue poked her head in, holding up a report in her hands, "This is Qiao Xi’s examination report, I specifically brought it over."

Zhou Yu, standing behind her, touched his nose and spoke, "When I went to pick it up, nurse Shu had already gotten it, so we came over together."

Shu Xue maintained a polite and distant semblance, "Yes, it just happened that we met. I just finished my shift, and I’m about to head back."

To Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou, who were already in the know, the explanations from the two of them felt quite like the saying ’a guilty conscience needs no accuser.’

Qiao Xi waved them over, "Come on in."

Light on her feet, Shu Xue walked over to her side and placed the report in front of her, "I’ve looked it over, and there’s nothing except for some residual anesthesia. You really are lucky this time, there’s only some minor abrasions on your body, and you should heal in three to five days."

Truly a stroke of fortune!

"Thank you for bringing it over specially."

Qiao Xi’s face was pale as she looked up and smiled at her.

"We sisters need not talk of thanks. It’s good that Xu Xingluo has already been arrested, you should be safe now." She suddenly added, "I just had a chat with Mr. Zhou, he told me this news."

These two really know how to avoid suspicion!

Zhou Yu continued, "Xu Xingluo and Xiang Huai were arrested for disturbing public order, and Li Daming has been transferred to Haicheng. Once his injuries are a bit better, he will be able to face questioning, and Xu Guangyao won’t escape a life sentence. Also, Huo Beiting... Your two car accidents, all settled in one go!"

What goes around, comes around!

Huo Beiting was ultimately destined to face prison time.

"Let me tell you something interesting. Xu Xingluo and Xiang Huai fought in the police station, clamoring for a divorce because Xu Xingluo has quite a few lovers overseas, tsk tsk... Unexpectedly, that so-called pure lady leads such a dissolute private life."

Truly a case of a ruined inside beneath a decorated exterior.

"How could she have the face to claim that her first time was with Xingzhou? What a scam!"

Qiao Xi sighed, back then Xiang Huai desperately defended Xu Xingluo, who would have thought he’d actually come to blows with him.

Chewing on his lip, Zhou Yu continued to gossip about the two for a few more moments, but eventually, he steered the conversation towards Qiao Xi, "I just heard some news that you are from the Liu family— ow!"

He didn’t finish his sentence before Huo Xingzhou kicked him.

Zhou Yu bent over, clutching his shin in pain.

Huo Xingzhou, expressionless, spoke calmly, "It’s getting late, you should go back. It’s unsafe for nurse Shu to take a cab alone, you should take her home."

Shu Xue waved her hands hurriedly, "No need, no need."

Qiao Xi chimed in, "Mr. Zhou, your home is on the way, you should head back quickly. Doesn’t your family have a dumb dog? It must be hungry if it has been waiting too long."

Shu Xue bit her back teeth, squeezing out a perfunctory smile, "Yeah, but still, there’s no trouble Mr. Zhou."

Sisters!

The dumb dog is right in front of your eyes!

Sending her to Zhou Yu’s car in the middle of the night, alone with a man, isn’t this sending a lamb into a tiger’s den?

Zhou Yu adjusted his clothes, his smile carrying a profound meaning, "It’s no trouble at all."

Shu Xue glanced at him and chuckled twice.

She really couldn’t take that step and walk with Zhou Yu, especially after they had cleared the air last time, she didn’t know how to interact with Zhou Yu.

Qiao Xi urged, "Shu Xue, aren’t you leaving? Mr. Zhou, make sure you safely escort Shu Xue home."

"Sure thing, sister-in-law."

Zhou Yu turned to Shu Xue and declared, "Let’s go, nurse Shu. If you walk alone at night and encounter a pervert, I really couldn’t bear the responsibility."

Taking a deep breath, Shu Xue spoke softly and gently, "Okay!"

She hurried out of the room, with Zhou Yu quickly following behind.

In the hospital room, Qiao Xi watched their figures and said, "Mr. Huo, do you think they’ll make up today?"

The opportunity has already been created.

Huo Xingzhou said indifferently, "They won’t."

"Why are you so sure they won’t?"

Huo Xingzhou looked down at her, "Wanna bet?"

Qiao Xi tilted her head, "Bet on what?"
