Chapter 248: Chapter 248 Brother Xingzhou, Help Me
The guests were abuzz with discussion.
Everything that had happened that evening was beyond belief, and they couldn’t control their desire to gossip.
Liu Zongquan looked at the mess before him with a headache. He tried to maintain a semblance of dignity as he addressed the guests, “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sorry for tonight. I didn’t expect such a big incident to occur. Tomorrow, the Liu Family will prepare a generous gift to apologize.”
“Mr. Liu, no need for that. You should take care of your family matters first. Who could have seen this coming?”
“Mr. Liu, we will take our leave first.”

“Mr. Liu, take it easy. At least the truth has come out.”
These guests still had some tact.
Knowing that Liu Zongquan was about to handle family matters, they quickly found excuses to leave.
Before long, most of the people had left.
In the end, only the Huo Family and Sun Family remained, with Old Chen moving the sofa back into place. Sun Weimeng had been cracking sunflower seeds all night, and his tongue was numb.
Qiao Xi had also eaten quite a few pastries.
Her appetite faded as she ate, but Huo Xingzhou remained calm and composed throughout.
Liu Zongquan looked at them and said softly, “I am very sorry about tonight.”
“No need to apologize. We have witnessed quite a drama,” Huo Xingzhou said as he flicked the sunflower seed shells off his suit jacket, his voice cool and clear. “I had intended to settle the score myself.”
But who knew that as soon as Liu Zongyun made his move, it was a straight flush.
He had sent Xu Guangyao straight in.
The evidence of infidelity that he held was rendered useless.
Liu Zongquan’s expression was not very pleasant. He didn’t know what to do.
However, Qiao Xi didn’t make it difficult for him. Instead, she took Huo Xingzhou’s arm and said, “Mr. Huo, let’s go home. It’s already past ten.”
“Okay.”
The couple didn’t say much more and walked out hand in hand.
Sun Weimeng, the tagalong, quickly followed behind them.
…
The night was like water.
In the Yunding Grand Hotel parking lot, luxury cars drove away one after another.
Soon, the entire parking lot was emptied.
Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou walked past the lobby and down the steps, where they saw the lively scene in front of the flashing police cars.
Xu Guangyao was taken to a car alone, while Xiang Huai was pulling Xu Xingluo aside for an affectionate farewell, telling her not to worry.
A tall girl in a gown held Xu Xingluo, crying, her hair dotted with cream, her mouth open in an ugly cry.
“Tsk!”
Sun Weimeng let out a mocking snicker, “Sisterly love, huh! To sell her and still have to count money for Xu Xingluo!”
Unimaginable if the Tian Family were to fall into Tian Tian’s hands one day – would they go bankrupt!
Qiao Xi looked in that direction with complex emotions.
She was shocked by what had happened that night; even her eyes had been opened wide!
Suddenly.
Huo Xingzhou wrapped his arms around her waist and headed in that direction.
Qiao Xi looked at him quizzically, “Mr. Huo?”
“Huo Er, what are you doing?” Sun Weimeng called out loudly, “You’re not still carrying a torch for Xu Xingluo, are you?”
His voice was very loud.
Xu Xingluo and others heard his shout.
When Xu Xingluo turned around and saw the man approaching slowly, with a face like a deity, her heart thumped wildly. Huo Xingzhou had been the dream of her youth.
The older she grew, the more unchangeable her deep feelings for him became.
With her red lips parted, tears rolled down her cheeks.
“Brother Xingzhou…” she called out in a voice that was melodious and sorrowful.
Qiao Xi’s own heart skipped a beat, her body tense. Mr. Huo and Xu Xingluo’s relationship was that of childhood sweethearts, sworn to each other in life and death, perhaps he really couldn’t bear it?
Xiang Huai, with a cold expression, looked at Huo Xingzhou and said, “What are you here for?”
Sun Weimeng took the lead in attacking: “Why so violent? Isn’t one allowed to beat a drowning dog? I enjoy watching people get kicked when they’re down the most.”
“You…”
Xiang Huai’s face turned iron blue.
He couldn’t outtalk Sun Weimeng.
“Humph. Huo Er, don’t get confused now,” Sun Weimeng said in a low voice, poking Huo Xingzhou’s arm to remind him, “No matter how good the top-grade Bi Luo Chun is, can it compare to Qiao Xi’s nourishing soup?”
Tian Tian couldn’t help but speak up for Xu Xingluo: “Sun Weimeng, your words are too unpleasant. Xingluo is innocent, the police just said there was no evidence, and it wasn’t a big impact.”
“Hmph, silly girl.”
Sun Weimeng had no respect for Tian Tian; she had big eyes, yet she was like a blind person.
Xu Xingluo ignored their quarrel and slowly approached Huo Xingzhou.
She was still wearing her fluffy princess dress, with a luxurious and expensive crown on her head.
But her delicate makeup had been cried away, somewhat pitiable to look at.
“Brother Xingzhou… believe me, I did nothing wrong. I am still the Xu Xingluo who loves you, the Xingluo who saved you ten years ago…”
Her earnest confession was enough to make Sun Weimeng nauseous.
“Brother Xingzhou, did you come to see me because you can’t bear to leave me? I…” Xu Xingluo was truly heartbroken, her identity exposed, she became the illegitimate daughter whom everyone detested.
Her father Xu Guangyao was a henpecked husband who couldn’t even handle being a kept man properly.
Her mother was a nanny who seduced the man of the house.
It was an embarrassing identity.
She and Huo Xingzhou were impossible in this lifetime.
From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Qiao Xi standing off to the side, and a flash of hatred appeared in her eyes!
It was all because of Qiao Xi that her life was in such chaos!
Huo Xingzhou had a solemn face, his eyes void of warmth as he spoke, “I am here to congratulate you on your engagement happiness.”
Pfft!
Sun Weimeng couldn’t help but laugh out loud, the irony stung!
Who spends their engagement night at the police station?
Xu Xingluo’s cheeks became the color of a pig’s liver.
The man stood tall and handsome, his thin lips parting coldly: “Also… you owe Qiao Xi an apology. At the birthday party, you almost caused her to knock over the cake, and slandered her for stealing your necklace. Shouldn’t you apologize?”
This man was vengeful.
Some vendettas were settled on the spot.
Qiao Xi looked at him, surprise flickering in her eyes.
He had come specifically to get Xu Xingluo to apologize to her?
“Brother Xingzhou, I didn’t…” Xu Xingluo was still trying to argue.
Huo Xingzhou was not buying her act: “Or do you want me to hand over tonight’s surveillance footage to the police station?”
Xu Xingluo was startled to the core, staring blankly at him.
Bitter hatred churned within her.
A country bumpkin, what good is she?
Xu Xingluo bit her lip, tasting blood on her tongue.
She took a deep breath, her eyes reddening as she articulated each word towards Qiao Xi: “I’m, sorry!”
Qiao Xi looked at Xu Xingluo; the apology didn’t sound sincere at all.
She whispered: “Every time you apologize to me, and after each apology, you still plot against me. Xu Xingluo, do you think we are naturally incompatible? You were the one who gave up on Mr. Huo in the car accident, if you hadn’t gone abroad…”
Xu Xingluo regretted it so much her insides turned green.
If she hadn’t gone abroad, then she would have married Huo Xingzhou.
Such good fortune would never have fallen to Qiao Xi’s lot.
And no one would have exposed her identity; she would have been Young Madam Huo, the most respected and happiest woman in Haicheng.
Xu Xingluo couldn’t accept such a conjecture, she covered her face crying and ran into the police car.
The car door closed, and it quickly drove away.
Xiang Huai chased after her for a few steps but couldn’t catch up; he turned around, his presence boiling with anger as he swung his fist towards Huo Xingzhou.
