1369 Ambiguous Relationship
Guan Hui gritted her teeth as her body trembled uncontrollably.
Huo Yuzhou clearly knew that this violin was made by Xue Liang. If Qiao Xi liked the violin, Xue Liang could give her one in minutes. It would even be better than this violin. Why would he spend such a large sum of money and spend so much effort to give it to Qiao Xi? Even if he did that, Qiao Xi would not be touched.
She was different from Qiao Xi. She only had eyes for him. As long as he was willing to give her 10% of his heart, she would be loyal to him. However, what had he done?
Everyone present thought that he would give the violin to her, but he actually gave it to Qiao Xi in public. He did not consider her feelings at all!
The love in Guan Hui’s heart instantly transformed into hatred. She hated Huo Yuzhou and Qiao Xi even more. If it were not for Qiao Xi, she would not have been so embarrassed.
Qiao Xi was already Gu Zheng’s wife, but Huo Yuzhou was brazenly giving Qiao Xi such a precious gift. Wasn’t he afraid of others gossiping? Wasn’t he afraid of angering Gu Zheng by having an ambiguous relationship with his wife?
At this moment, the gazes everyone shot at Qiao Xi and Huo Yuzhou carried a trace of strangeness. They took a few steps back successively and stared fixedly at the three people in the middle, afraid that they would miss the show.
At this moment, everyone remembered that Gu Zheng had also bid for the violin just now. This violin was for women. It was obvious that Gu Zheng wanted to bid for it for Mrs. Gu, but Huo Yuzhou knew this and was unwilling to give in. He did not even hesitate to raise the price to 30 million.
They were clearly going to give it to a woman. Why waste so much money?
Everyone thought for a moment and understood Huo Yuzhou’s meaning. He wanted to personally bid for this violin to give to Mrs. Gu. He did not want Gu Zheng to give it to her.
From the looks of it, Mrs. Gu and Huo Yuzhou’s relationship was very ambiguous. After all, they had an unknown past. Although Mrs. Gu was married now, she was still connected to Huo Yuzhou. She was wandering between two noble men. It had to be said that Mrs. Gu was indeed capable.
“Xi Xi, don’t refuse me.” Huo Yuzhou stared at her with a burning gaze, and his tone carried a trace of toughness.
Qiao Xi lowered her eyes and looked at Huo Yuzhou’s name on the receipt. She sneered. “Mr. Huo, is it appropriate to give such a valuable gift to a married woman in front of your fiancee?
“Are you going to make the headlines with me tomorrow and make everyone think that I’m a fickle-minded woman? You’re not apologizing but trying to harm me!”
Huo Yuzhou knew that she would say this. His eyes were calm, but his voice carried an imperceptible trace of mockery. “Of course, I won’t harm you. I just want to return what I owe you. Even if you’re already married, can’t an old friend give you a gift? President Gu is in charge of the huge Gu Corporation, so he shouldn’t be so petty.”
Qiao Xi almost couldn’t help but roll her eyes. What was this? He wanted to give her a gift for no reason. If she didn’t accept it, it meant that Gu Zheng was petty?
Huo Yuzhou had always been cold and heartless, but he could be said to be extremely gentle and patient with Qiao Xi. His voice was gentle and carried a trace of indescribable charm. “Xi Xi, it was my fault back then. After so many years, you should let go. I owe you this violin. Accept it, alright?”
Qiao Xi was no stranger to this gentle murmur. In the past, Huo Yuzhou had always coaxed her like this.
‘Lil Hui doesn’t have any relatives anymore. She’s already so pitiful. Xi Xi, let her have her way.’
‘Xi Xi, just give this necklace to Lil Hui. I’ll buy you something better. You won’t mind, right?’
‘I’m sorry, Xi Xi. I didn’t mean to set the library on fire. Please forgive me.’
Qiao Xi’s eyes were filled with coldness. Were those words that were used to coax a child now being used to coax her?
Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Huo Yuzhou remained patient and said in a low and gentle voice, “Xi Xi, I’ve been looking for you all these years and sent you many emails, but you’ve never replied to me. You’ve punished me for long enough. Forgive me now, okay?”
The hall was silent. Everyone’s jaws dropped as they looked at Gu Zheng, who was not far away. Seeing that his wife was being coveted, he did not seem to have any intention of going forward.
Everyone could tell that Mr. Huo and Mrs. Gu were in an ambiguous relationship. Could it be that Gu Zheng was not worried? Mr. Huo was cold to everyone except Mrs. Gu. Could it be that they had a deep-rooted relationship in the past?
Everyone was guessing, but their guesses were all ruined the next second.
