Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 130 - : Xu Xingluo Committed Suicide

Chapter 130 -130: Xu Xingluo Committed Suicide

It was nine o’clock at night.

Sun Weimeng swept through the Huo Family’s small villa like a swarm of locusts, taking with him the Madame Le and the small toys.

Only one box of the old Madame Le remained in the drawer, the very one that had been unsealed back in Moon Village.

The man’s slender fingers pinched the box, and he looked at Qiao Xi, asking, “Shall we use it up? If not, it will expire.”

He was blunt, making no effort to hide his coveting gaze towards her.

Qiao Xi’s almond eyes were bright yet shy, and her voice soft as she said, “I don’t like to waste either.”

The implication was very clear.

Huo Xingzhou laughed softly, his excitement and pleasure visibly filling the air. His pale fingers touched the zipper on her back, the calluses from years of writing brushing against her skin.

A tingling sensation.

“Wait, I need to check on the hospital situation first,” Qiao Xi recalled the interruption last time, so she picked up her phone to inquire about the on-duty doctor tonight and, receiving a reply that everything was normal, she finally felt at ease.

“Let’s take a bath.”

Huo Xingzhou lifted her into his arms, his long legs carrying them into the bathroom. He placed her on the vanity, their eyes level. He kissed her deeply on the lips, and Qiao Xi gasped, holding him tight.

She had desired this too.

Tonight was good as well.

The annoying ring of the cell phone broke the silence.

“Mr. Huo, it’s your phone…” she said, breathlessly.

“Ignore it.”

He was determined not to answer, and Qiao Xi was kissed until she was helplessly moaning.

“Young Master!”

“Young Master, there’s been a serious incident!” Aunt Qian knocked on the door.

Huo Xingzhou’s eyebrows were dark with gloom as Qiao Xi, pushing him, stepped out of the bathroom door, “If Aunt Qian is looking for you, it must be important.”

The man kissed the corner of her mouth and said, “Next time we check into a hotel, no phones allowed.”

Qiao Xi nodded obediently and intelligently.

Huo Xingzhou opened the door to see Aunt Qian with an anxious expression.

“Aunt Qian, what’s wrong?”

“I got a call from the Xu Family. I didn’t want to disturb you, but the eldest young master of the Xu Family called several times, saying…” Aunt Qian glanced at Qiao Xi inside the room and muttered something in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Huo Xingzhou sneered, “Can I cure sicknesses?”

“He also said that you must call him back urgently.”

“Understood.”

Huo Xingzhou followed Aunt Qian downstairs, and Qiao Xi heard their footsteps going away. A short while later, the sound of an engine echoed from outside the villa.

She ran to the second-floor terrace and saw Huo Xingzhou and Old Chen, the driver, leaving in the night.

It must be related to the Xu Family.

A sense of disquietness crept into Qiao Xi’s heart.

That night, she didn’t sleep well. At five in the morning, a phone call woke her up.

A single sentence completely jolted her awake!

“Xu Xingluo has attempted suicide by slitting her wrists!” Huo Sijiao’s voice was shocked and a bit scared, “She was taken to Haicheng City Hospital for emergency treatment last night.”

Qiao Xi’s heart finally sank; so last night Mr. Huo had gone to the hospital.

Xu Xingluo actually tried to kill herself!

“Sister-in-law, after you left yesterday, I gave Xu Xingluo a good tongue-lashing. Then Mrs. Ye stepped in and blacklisted the Xu Family, the Xiang Family, and that Ruan Xiu from Rongde’s charity auctions,” said Huo Sijiao.

“That Mrs. Ye is the mother of the child you saved; it turns out that the Rongde Auction House is left to her as assets by her maternal family.”

Yesterday, Xu Xingluo had lost face in every possible way.

Huo Sijiao felt uncomfortable in her heart, “Did I trigger her actions?”

She disliked Xu Xingluo but didn’t want her dead. At her core, Huo Sijiao was kind-hearted and couldn’t overlook a life.

“Don’t be afraid. When I’m at work today, I’ll find out more about her situation,” Qiao Xi said softly, trying to comfort her.

“Okay.”

Huo Sijiao hung up the phone, full of anxiety.

Qiao Xi took a deep breath and rubbed her swollen head, feeling no longer the slightest bit sleepy.

She got out of bed and went downstairs, only to find that Aunt Qian had risen early. There were also two strangers in work uniforms in the living room.

“Young Madam, you’re awake.”

“This is…” Qiao Xi looked at the two men, puzzled.

Aunt Qian was also confused, “The young master sent them to check the smart home system, but usually, it’s just a major checkup at the end of the year.”

“Oh.”

Qiao Xi didn’t think much of it as she had other things on her mind and didn’t have the appetite. Aunt Qian forcefully stuffed two shepherd’s purse and pork fried buns into her hands, and unable to refuse, Qiao Xi took the buns and hailed a taxi.

In the taxi.

She browsed through her social media with a heavy heart when suddenly, she came across a swan avatar.

Xu Xingluo: No matter when or where, you will eventually come to my side.

The accompanying picture was of a hospital ward, with a tall man showing a stern side profile, his features sharp and piercing.

Familiar indeed, as those same features had sunk into an endless sea of desire just last night.

Qiao Xi pursed her lips and sent a text to Huo Sijiao, asking if she had seen Xu Xingluo’s social media post.

Huo Sijiao replied with “No.”

Qiao Xi realized it was a post visible only to her.

She comforted Huo Sijiao with a few words, saying Xu Xingluo was fine.

After all, if she was able to post on social media, with words that dripped with sweetness and boastfulness, there couldn’t be anything seriously wrong.

As soon as Qiao Xi entered the hospital, Shu Xue came up to her to complain, “I had the night shift last night, and Xu Xingluo was in room 2122; quite a number of people visited her. I even saw your husband.”

“Hmm.”

“You should take my words to heart and secure your man’s affections. Use any means necessary; if you had even one-tenth of Xu Xingluo’s cunning, Huo Xingzhou would surely be devoted only to you,” Shu Xue advised earnestly, “I asked the doctor about her wrist wounds. They’re very shallow and won’t even leave a scar.”

They just looked scary.

“You should hurry home and rest after your shift. Look at those dark circles, you resemble a panda.” Qiao Xi managed a weak smile and urged her.

“Fine. Don’t overthink it. President Huo seems like a decent man; I doubt there’s any rekindling of old flames.”

After a bit more nagging, Shu Xue left.

Qiao Xi put on her white coat, ready to start her early rounds as usual. She was Liu Zongyun’s primary physician in room 2121, and inevitably had to pass by room 2122.

The door was ajar, revealing a sliver of space.

From inside came Xu Xingluo’s frail voice.

“Brother Xingzhou, I want some fruit.”

The silhouette shifted, and Qiao Xi saw Huo Xingzhou was still inside the room. Her heart ached inexplicably at the sight.

Whatever Xu Xingluo said or did, Qiao Xi could disbelieve. Yet now, she saw with her own eyes as Huo Xingzhou truly handed the fruit plate to Xu Xingluo.

“Brother Xingzhou, feed me, please,” Xu Xingluo pleaded with a delicate, rosy-cheeked face that hardly seemed like that of someone who had attempted suicide.

Qiao Xi’s breath caught upon hearing her words.

Just as she was about to push the door open, someone patted her shoulder. Startled, she turned around to find Huo Jiancheng.

“Dad,” Qiao Xi said softly.

Huo Jiancheng waved his hand, signaling her to follow him.

Qiao Xi had hardly had any one-on-one interaction with her father-in-law, and their relationship was usually quite formal and respectful. Now that Huo Jiancheng had something to say, she had no choice but to follow him.

Huo Jiancheng pushed open the hospital’s emergency exit door and walked into the corridor.

Only then did he begin to speak.
