Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 117 - Qiao Xi, Don’t Forgive Her

Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Qiao Xi, Don’t Forgive Her

The moon was like a hook.

In the master bedroom of the small villa.

Qiao Xi had sent the second daughter and mother of the Huo family away and was preparing to change Huo Xingzhou’s dressing with the medicine box in hand.

Upon opening the door, she saw the tall man on the phone, his expression serious and his face cold and stern.

Huo Xingzhou said a few words to the person on the other end of the phone and then hung up, turning to look at her.

...

“Mr. Huo, I’m here to change your gauze,” Qiao Xi said as she put aside the medicine box, opened it layer by layer, and took out the alcohol cotton.

“Qiao Xi, there’s a result concerning Li Yao’s matter. The police have found the mastermind behind him.”

“The mastermind?”

Qiao Xi looked at him in surprise.

She had thought that the other party was just greedy for money and remembered that at first, Li Yao had said he wanted to strip her and take a few photos. Qiao Xi felt that Li Yao was planning to use the photos for extortion.

She hadn’t expected that there would be a mastermind involved.

“Who is it?” Qiao Xi mentally scanned through a list of names, even considering Xiang Huai and Xu Xingluo. But instinctively, she thought that such high and mighty people would not stoop to such vulgar and despicable methods.

“The only daughter of the Tian family, Tian Tian.”

This unfamiliar name stunned Qiao Xi.

She then heard Huo Xingzhou say, “I’ve kept a lid on the matter with Li Yao. Outsiders only know that Tian Tian was involved in the case and had a car accident on the way to the inquiry. The Tian family has applied for bail.”

This was to protect Qiao Xi’s reputation.

Because there are always some people who spread rumors, and the more they are spread, the more intense they become, causing secondary harm to the victims.

“Thank you, Mr. Huo,” Qiao Xi said softly.

Huo Xingzhou’s eyes were deep as he continued, “Tomorrow the Tian family will surely come to apologize and seek a private settlement. If you don’t agree, we will send Tian Tian to detention. If you forgive her, then think about what conditions you want to set.”

Qiao Xi was silent for a moment and then asked, “Will she only be detained?”

Huo Xingzhou explained, “Although I emphasized hiring a murderer and robbery when I reported the crime, the police have their own judgment and investigation.”

“She paid Li Yao to violate privacy rights. As for what she planned to do with the photos, it hasn’t happened yet, and much of it was Li Yao’s subjective thought. After a struggle, Tian Tian would at most be detained.”

For the Tian family, having their only daughter detained was also unacceptable.

Qiao Xi took a deep breath, “I see.”

She bent her head and unwound the gauze round after round from Huo Xingzhou’s arm, revealing the ghastly wound underneath.

“Alcohol disinfection might sting a bit, so bear with it,” she said with pity.

Huo Xingzhou didn’t take the minor wound to heart but said seeing her so concerned, “The doctor said it would scar. I guess that’s my way of fighting for you once. You should treat me better from now on.”

Qiao Xi obediently nodded her head.

Huo Xingzhou chuckled, “So gullible? Does that mean I can bully you however I want?”

“My mother-in-law said she would take care of you for me.”

“So the Little Divine Doctor had already gotten the Gold Medal Command Arrow a long time ago, no wonder you’ve been so indifferent to me.”

“Nonsense!”

Qiao Xi said with feigned annoyance, her hand’s movement becoming a bit heavier.

The man inhaled sharply from the pain and wrinkled his cold face, “Just yesterday, you were affectionately calling me ‘husband’ and wanted to apologize. Today, with my mother’s support, you’ve turned into a shrew.”

Qiao Xi’s face flushed red, “Not at all.”

She didn’t know that Mr. Huo had this side to him, lively and spirited, much better than his aloof and noble side.

“Do the words you said when apologizing still count?” He was asking for interest now.

Qiao Xi faltered, unable to articulate a reason, while Huo Xingzhou said lightly, “It’s still early, let’s go to the home theater to watch a movie.”

“You haven’t fully recovered from your injuries!” Qiao Xi’s neck flushed a bright red as she hurriedly left the room.

Huo Xingzhou’s mouth twitched slightly, wondering where her mind had gone.

It was just about watching a movie, nothing more.

…

The next day.

Dawn was breaking.

The peace within the small villa was shattered by noisy clamor.

Sun Weimeng had his driver deliver dozens of gift boxes, claiming they were gifts for Qiao Xi to celebrate her return from Longtan Township.

The gesture was grandiose, including cordyceps, matsutake, and ganoderma, all of which were top-notch products.

His complexion was rosy and he was wearing a floral shirt, looking spirited. It was obvious that the man was relieved of his ailment and felt light-hearted. In the pleasure domains of Haicheng, Sun Weimeng’s scandalous rumors were spread.

Rich, sweet-talking, with hardly any trouble.

He had become the darling of girls in all the major clubs.

Qiao Xi looked at the valuable medicinal herbs spread all over the floor and declined, “Young Master Sun, these are too precious. Please take them back!”

“That won’t do. Once I, Young Master Sun, give something away, there’s no taking it back. Moreover, these were specially collected for you.”

Despite his messy personal life, Sun Weimeng was someone who knew about gratitude and repaying kindnesses.

“Take them,” Huo Xingzhou spoke authoritatively, accepting the gifts on their behalf.

Upon hearing this, Young Master Sun beamed, “I came today to share some gossip with you, the Tian Family has run into big trouble!”

The Sun Family and Tian Family were in fierce competition in the real estate business, resorting to petty tactics like bribing cleaners to pour boiling water on the other’s money tree, or unplugging internet cables. Small-scale business wars like these were endless.

To see the Tian Family’s misfortune was naturally a delight for the Sun Family!

He said with an air of mystery, “I heard that Tian Tian is suspected of hiring someone to commit murder and has been summoned by the police. She was in a car accident on the way there, broke her right hand, and even suffered facial paralysis!”

A broken hand was understandable, but facial paralysis?

Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou exchanged a glance, then listened as Sun Weimeng continued, “It was too cold in the car, blowing her into facial paralysis. Experts at City Hospital said it’s difficult to treat, hard to recover.”

“Who knows who’s carrying out divine justice!”

Sun Weimeng was oblivious to the incident in Longtan Township, unaware that the agents of divine justice were seated right in front of him.

Qiao Xi felt somewhat embarrassed and didn’t know how to respond, while Huo Xingzhou squeezed the back of her hand.

“President Huo, could the Tian Family have offended someone? Who could have such capability?” Sun Weimeng furrowed his brow in deep thought, considering his safety, “Would they turn against our Sun Family too?”

“They won’t.”

Huo Xingzhou’s voice was clear and cold, sparing with words.

Sun Weimeng wanted to discuss it further when Aunt Qian raised her voice, “Young Master, Young Madam, the Tian Family is here!”

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

Finally, they had arrived.

“What are they here for…” Sun Weimeng was mystified, without a clue.

The gifts had arrived before the guests.

The Tian Family also sent a pile of gifts, but compared to Young Master Sun’s meticulous preparations, they fell short.

Mrs. Tian helped Tian Tian in, a woman with a great figure and not lacking in looks, standing at one-seventy-five, about the same height as Young Master Sun. Except, her arm was wrapped in gauze and hung in front of her chest, and the right side of her face was paralyzed.

“President Huo, Young Madam.”

Mrs. Tian apologized with a smile, “I have brought my undutiful daughter to apologize.”

Tian Tian whimpered, “Qiao Xi, I’m sorry. I only let Li Yao take your private photos, I did not instruct him to hire someone for murder, or burglary. These things are not related to me, please forgive me.”

Sun Weimeng suddenly realized that the Tian Family had offended the Huo Family!

No wonder!

“Taking photos is already despicable enough! What were you planning to do with those photos?” Before Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou could speak, Young Master Sun exploded like a lit firecracker!

“Tian Tian, your character truly does not match your name, vicious!” Young Master Sun incited, “Qiao Xi, you mustn’t forgive her!”

Tian Tian was seething with anger, “Sun Shorty, don’t go too far!”

Mrs. Tian twisted her arm sharply, “Shut up.”

“Talking about Diamond Barbie over here! Qiao Xi, she did other things too! She insulted you online!” Sun Weimeng took out his phone and flipped to the homepage of the online account “Sweet Tian Not Spicy.”

“This is you, isn’t it, Tian Tian! Look at the filthy things you’ve written!”

The comments continuously belittled Qiao Xi and elevated Xu Xingluo, calling Qiao Xi a country bumpkin, a star of calamity, a woman who throws herself at men, among other things.

Slap!

Mrs. Tian lashed out at Tian Tian with a slap to her ear.
