1359 What Right Does She Have To Be So Arrogant?
“You like Huo Yuzhou, so you think that all women will like him too? But you don’t know what would have happened to him if Grandpa hadn’t let him off on account of our past relationship. He would’ve had to bear legal responsibility for arson and compensate for all the losses. My grandfather’s medical books are all priceless. He won’t be able to afford to compensate the Huo family even if he sells himself!”
Qiao Xi’s tone was icy-cold and indifferent as she looked at Guan Hui as if she was looking at an idiot.
Guan Hui instantly choked, her eyes filled with disbelief. After a moment of silence, she gradually calmed down.
Did Qiao Xi really not like Yuzhou? Not only was Yuzhou handsome, but he was also so capable. How could Qiao Xi not like him? She must be afraid of losing her dignity, so she did not want to admit it.
“Xi Xi, I understand your feelings.” Guan Hui advised earnestly, “You still blame Yuzhou and me in your heart, but I really don’t have any ill intentions when I say these words. I just don’t want you to be with a married man in order to take revenge on Yuzhou and me.”
When the people who were trying to please Guan Hui saw this scene, they immediately stood up and echoed, “Back then, it was because of you that Mrs. Huo and Mr. Huo almost broke up. Now that you’ve seduced a married man, who can’t tell what you’re thinking?”
“You were exposed by Mrs. Huo, so you’re now biting back!”
At this moment, Huo Yuzhou happened to rush over. When he heard these words, his expression instantly changed. He was just about to step forward and stand up for Qiao Xi when a figure quickly appeared by Qiao Xi’s side.
The man’s tall figure stood in front of Qiao Xi, his voice cold and low. “Mrs. Huo, do you want to know how Xi Xi got in?”
The resting area instantly fell silent as everyone looked at this extraordinarily handsome man.
Guan Hui looked up and saw that the man’s light brown eyes were deep. His handsome features were filled with a cold aura, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes. Behind the man was Huo Yuzhou.
Guan Hui’s mind exploded as she lowered her head nervously.
“Mr. Huo!” Everyone shouted in surprise when they saw Huo Yuzhou. They thought that Huo Yuzhou was here to stand up for Guan Hui.
“Mrs. Huo, look who’s here!”
Everyone’s shouts scared Guan Hui so much that her entire body trembled. She knew that Huo Yuzhou did not like others calling her ‘Mrs. Huo’. She was afraid that Huo Yuzhou would be angry.
“Wait, this… This is the president of Gu Corporation?”
“President Gu and Mr. Huo are both here!”
Everyone was surprised and delighted. Qiao Xi, who was hiding behind everyone, raised her eyebrows.
Suddenly, someone said loudly, “Mr. Huo, this woman doesn’t have an invitation and even bullied Mrs. Huo. Mrs. Huo is crying from grievances. Quickly chase this woman out!”
Huo Yuzhou looked past everyone at Qiao Xi. After so many years, her appearance had not changed much. She was still so stunning, but her gaze made him feel unfamiliar.
Qiao Xi looked at him coldly without dodging in the slightest, and she sneered in her heart.
Did Huo Yuzhou want to berate her in public? Would he accuse her of bullying Guan Hui?
Guan Hui was so nervous that she broke out in a cold sweat. “Yuzhou, don’t misunderstand. We were just joking. Xi Xi…”
Qiao Xi was even more impatient. It had already been so many years, yet it was still the same trick. Guan Hui would pretend to be pitiful and say, ‘Xi Xi didn’t bully me. It’s all my fault. Brother Yuzhou, don’t blame her.’ Then, she would cry and say that her life was bitter and her status was low.
Once Huo Yuzhou heard Guan Hui’s words, he would think that she was bullying Guan Hui because she had no one to rely on. Guan Hui was afraid of offending her, so she did not dare to say anything even though she was wronged.
Qiao Xi had long guessed Guan Hui’s plan, so she nodded without hesitation. “Yes, I did say a few words to her, but it was Mrs. Huo who provoked me first. She questioned why I was able to enter and whether I seduced a married man. Of course, I couldn’t swallow my anger. Mr. Huo, you can’t control your woman, so I’ll help you teach her a lesson.”
Everyone: “???”
What right did this woman have to be so arrogant?
Huo Yuzhou was the head of the Huo family and the head of the Brook family. This woman actually dared to offend him like this. Was she tired of living?
Everyone said indignantly, “Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo was doing it for this woman’s own good, but she reprimanded Mrs. Huo in public. She doesn’t take you seriously at all!”
“This is Gu Corporation’s banquet. It isn’t a place for her to behave atrociously. If she offends President Gu and Mr. Huo, let’s see how she can still be arrogant.”
“Mrs. Huo lowered herself to greet her. Not only is she ungrateful, but she also said nasty words to hurt others. She really doesn’t know what’s good for her!”
Everyone criticized Qiao Xi, but they did not notice that Huo Yuzhou’s expression was getting darker and darker.
