Chapter 222: Chapter 222 She Messes Around, I Find it Disgusting
Xu Xingluo was sent back to her room by the servants.
In the living room.
Xu Guangyao looked weary, and Liu Huimin, with concern, said, “I have no idea how many family members have received this photo.”
His heart boiled with rage as he snapped, “You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask! You usually have good relations with the high society ladies, why don’t you call and probe around at times like this?”
He was always gentle when he spoke, and towards Liu Huimin even more so, like a gentle breeze and mild rain.
This was a first.
Liu Huimin was startled by his tone, and with teary eyes, she said, “I’ll make the calls right now.”
Xu Guangyao wiped his face and said in a hoarse voice, “Huimin, I’m sorry. I’m just too worried about Xingluo.”
“I understand, you’ve always been very fond of Xingluo.”
Liu Huimin felt much better after his reassurance.
She took out her phone, opened her contacts, picked a few high society ladies she was close with, and made the calls, subtly probing and finding that their tones were all quite normal.
She felt much more at ease.
“Husband, they don’t know about it. Perhaps the sender only targeted the Xu Family and Liu Family.”
“It’s a warning,” Xu Guangyao said with a headache, “and there might be more to come.”
Regardless, he couldn’t just sit there and do nothing.
“I’ll make a call to Huo Xingzhou first.”
Liu Huimin asked with confusion, “Do you suspect Huo Xingzhou is behind this? Why would he… our Xingluo even saved his life back then.”
Xu Guangyao gave her a look but stayed silent.
He had his doubts about that incident. His daughter had always been a delicate egoist, why would she risk her life to save Huo Xingzhou?
He had never told anyone about his suspicions, just tricked Huo Jiancheng into signing an agreement as a safeguard.
Xu Guangyao directly dialed Huo Xingzhou’s number.
The first call went unanswered.
The second call was the same, no response.
His heart filled with even more grievances and resentment.
He refused to believe that today Huo Xingzhou would not answer his call.
When Xu Guangyao was calling Huo Xingzhou, he was having breakfast.
The breakfast Aunt Qian prepared was lavish, covering the entire table.
“This is Young Madam’s favorite, and this is the Young Master’s favorite. But the Young Master’s stomach isn’t good, so he eats more lightly,” Aunt Qian, knowing the young couple was having a quarrel, tried her best to bring the two together.
Early in the morning, she called them to have breakfast together.
“Thank you, Aunt Qian.”
Qiao Xi was eating her shepherd’s-purse filled dumplings, then took a bite of a greasy spring roll. Her gaze never dared to settle on Huo Xingzhou.
The atmosphere at the breakfast table was extremely awkward.
Aunt Qian didn’t dare to leave, afraid the young couple would argue.
Huo Xingzhou’s phone buzzed continuously on the table.
It rang for a minute, then stopped.
Then it started ringing again, and even if Qiao Xi deliberately tried to ignore it, she couldn’t remain silent.
“Mr. Huo, your phone is ringing,” she reminded him.
Huo Xingzhou barely lifted his eyes to glance at her and didn’t say anything. His slim fingers pinched a white porcelain spoon, sipping from the bowl of stomach-soothing porridge.
Qiao Xi found herself embarrassed and pursed her lips.
Aunt Qian looked back and forth between them.
“Young Master, so many calls could mean there’s an emergency. Maybe you should take it?” Aunt Qian suggested.
Huo Xingzhou turned off his phone.
That settled the noise.
Qiao Xi put down her chopsticks and said softly, “I’m full, and I’m meeting Jiaojiao to go out, so I’ll be leaving first. Mr. Huo, please take your time.”

After she finished speaking, she ran away as if her life depended on it.
Ha.
Huo Xingzhou watched her fleeing figure and let out a cold snort.
He didn’t feel like explaining to her yesterday, not knowing whether it was to torment her or himself.
This kind of obstinacy, reacting to the slightest poke, was truly infuriating.
He took a deep breath and immediately lost his appetite.
Aunt Qian covered her mouth and laughed, “Young Master, getting angry is bad for your health. She’s young, why bother to take her actions to heart? Even if the Young Madam did something to upset you, just be a little more tolerant.”
“She thinks I’m involved with Xu Xingluo.”
What bothered Huo Xingzhou the most was her lack of trust.
If she had informed him before making any decisions, they wouldn’t have all these problems now. What was she struggling with in the end?
“Aunt Qian, does she really want to divorce me that much? She clearly could ask me for an answer, yet she chooses to suffocate herself.”
Aunt Qian was an observer and saw things very clearly.
“Young Master, is it possible that you’re too good? The Young Madam comes from a humble background, and her relatives have passed away in succession. A girl like her lacks security. You’re so good, it makes her feel inferior. She’d rather suffocate than ask and be humiliated.”
“Young Master, she feels inferior because she likes you.”
What Aunt Qian said was from the bottom of her heart.
“Do you think she likes me?” Huo Xingzhou was ultimately concerned about the possibility Zhou Yu had mentioned.
Qiao Xi was too shy, too restrained, too passive.
“Of course she does! It’s all about you in her eyes!”
Huo Xingzhou’s anger subsided considerably at Aunt Qian’s words. After all, all these troubles were caused by the Xu family and Xiang Huai.
He was due some interest.
He turned on his phone, and Xu Guangyao’s call came in again.
This time, Huo Xingzhou didn’t hang up but answered the call instead.
Suppressing his anger, Xu Guangyao spoke in a friendly tone, “Xingzhou, there’s something I want to ask you.”
“I did it.”
Huo Xingzhou’s eyes carried a hint of insolence.
He was unapologetic.
Xu Guangyao almost lost it, but the handle was in the other’s hand. The agreement he clutched couldn’t take effect immediately; he had to be subservient in front of Huo Xingzhou.
Xu Guangyao struggled to maintain calm, “Why would you make such a joke? Xingluo cried a lot today.”
“Oh.”
“Xingzhou, you don’t need to be so ruthless in conducting affairs.”
“I’m quite merciful. I only gave the photos to the Xu and Liu families, and incidentally sent a copy to the Xiang family. I presume the Family Head of Xiang is very happy, as I was also fulfilling a lovers’ wish.”
“Xingzhou, you know Xingluo only has you in her heart! She has a severe mental illness, and it might lead to serious consequences!”
“What does that have to do with me?” Huo Xingzhou said indifferently.
Xu Guangyao tried to play the emotional card, “She saved you ten years ago. You were childhood sweethearts, and logically, you should have married her.”
Huo Xingzhou looked up, his tone calm yet cold, “She messed around; I find it disgusting.”
“You…” Xu Guangyao was speechless, choked by his response, and then listened as Huo Xingzhou continued.
“It seems you don’t understand your daughter well. She had quite the time abroad.”
Huo Xingzhou chuckled, “These photos are just a warning. If Uncle Xu stirs up any more trouble, then I won’t be so polite. While I’m in a good mood, you can still use the agreement to ask me for little things.
Otherwise, I’ll have to think of ways to bring down the Xu Family. You’re well aware of my capabilities.”
Huo Xingzhou bared his fangs.
Xu Guangyao was inwardly terrified.
He had been able to establish Tianyuan Group behind the Huo family’s main branch. Even as a disabled man, he was able to scheme step by step, allowing Tianyuan to swallow Huo’s Corporation.
He was not someone to be trifled with.
He had been careless.
