Chapter 176 -176: Qiao Xi, Don’t Provoke Me

Xu Xingluo’s hair was disheveled, and her eyes were swollen and piteous as she said, “If I don’t give it to him, he’ll blurt it out!”

How could she be the daughter of a mistress? She was Haicheng’s number one socialite, an international prima ballerina!

She was the high and mighty Xu Xingluo, surrounded by adoring stars!

Xu Guangyao took a deep breath, defeated by her foolishness.

“I’ve spoiled you into being too naive and innocent! What good would it do him to blab? Back then, it was premeditated murder, not a mere car accident! He even dealt with that baby girl, Li Daming is burdened with a life on his conscience!”

Xu Guangyao’s chest heaved with anger, and he lost his usual patience with Xu Xingluo, “Now that you’ve given him money, you’ve set a precedent. Whenever he’s short on cash, he’ll come to you. What if someone sees you? Or how will you explain the large withdrawals from your account?

Xingluo, your brother is very clever, and the Liu Family is no fool, either. I’ve been plotting and living cautiously under their watch. Even when contacting Shiyun, I never use a cellphone.”

Stammering, Xu Xingluo said, “What should I do then?”

Xu Guangyao closed his eyes, slowly calming his emotions, “I originally wanted to find the mistakes he’s made over these years and hold that leverage over him. That’s no longer viable, so we must have someone watch him.”

He took out his phone and dialed a strange number, “Hello, Lao Mao. Keep an eye on someone for me, I’ll send you his information later. Report back to me on who he sees and what he does every day.”

After finishing his words, Xu Guangyao hung up the phone.

Xu Xingluo’s tears fell in large drops, “I’m sorry, Dad, I didn’t know your plan. I was so scared, he just showed up out of nowhere, threatening me.”

She cared too much about glory and wealth, just like Xu Guangyao in her bones.

“It’s fine. Clean yourself up, we’re going home. Your mother said she has prepared a table full of dishes, waiting for us to return.”

“Is there a celebration at home?”

“Not sure, let’s head back.”

The father and daughter collected their emotions and took the car back to the Xu Family.

The Xu Family’s residence was situated in the bustling city center, different from the profound heritage of the Liu Family. The Xu home was pure European-style, an epitome of modern and fashionable luxury.

The pure white dining table was already filled with a variety of dishes.

Gold-rimmed porcelain plates were set out one by one, looking very beautiful.

Liu Huimin called the cook to bring over the soup, “These are all Xingluo’s favorite dishes, she had barely left the hospital when she helped her father secure the Tianyuan Group project, truly worthy of being my daughter.”

“Madam, you’re so fortunate.”

Liu Huimin smiled.

She and Xu Guangyao had been without any rift for more than twenty years, never even having argued. Their love was exemplary in high society. He never flirted with women outside, always keeping a distance even at social engagements.

Even business partners would say that not a single leaf stuck to President Xu.

She loved him very much.

She was even willing to break with her family to marry him. In the end, the Liu Family caved in and gave their blessing.

Liu Huimin’s eyes curved, her choices over the years proving her good judgment.

She had a loving husband and three handsome and beautiful children. Especially Xingluo, who was most like Guangyao.

She also cherished this daughter the most, wishing she could lift her up to the heavens.

“Sir, Third Miss, you’re back! Madam has prepared dinner, and we’ve been waiting for you to come eat,” said the servant as he took Xu Guangyao’s coat with a smile.

“Guangyao,” Liu Huimin came over upon hearing this, “Xingluo, are you tired from work?”

“Not tired,” said Xu Xingluo, struggling to maintain her composure.

“You look tired to me, have something to eat then go wash up and rest in your room.”

“Okay, Mom.”

Xu Guangyao bowed his head and kissed Liu Huimin’s cheek, saying, “You only care about our daughter, what about me?”

“We’re an old married couple,” she said sweetly, still very much charmed by his romantic gestures.

Xu Guangyao took out a red velvet box and placed it in her hand, “I brought a gift for you.”

Liu Huimin looked at him in surprise, opened the box, and found a ruby necklace inside.

“Why a ruby?”

“I wanted you to try this vibrant color. I think it’ll look stunning on you.”

“I like everything you give.”

Xu Xingluo stood to the side, looking down with a mocking smile. She had seen the exact same ruby at Shen Shiyun’s place, it was just a buy-one-get-one-free promotion at the mall.

This one given to Liu Huimin was a freebie.

Her father seemed to very much enjoy demeaning Liu Huimin with these types of unnoticed trifles, humiliating her.

And yet the person in question felt sweetly happy.

Liu Huimin immediately wore the necklace around her neck and asked Xu Xingluo, “Does Mommy look pretty wearing the ruby?”

“Mmm, pretty.”

Xu Xingluo replied noncommittally.

Liu Huimin, holding both her husband and daughter by the hand, walked towards the dining room. “I even made a few small dishes myself today, as a celebration.”

“Celebrating what?”

“Celebrating that my elder brother’s fingers can move now,” she turned her head to ask Xu Xingluo, “Xingluo, are you happy?”

The father and daughter stiffened.

His fingers could move now.

Xu Guangyao’s face turned green: “To what extent have the fingers recovered? Can he write?”

He panicked.

“Of course not, how could they be that flexible?” Liu Huimin said with a laugh, “He can just lift his fingers a little now, there’s still a long way to go before writing. The doctors are now working hard on his speech function, hoping he can start speaking soon.”

The father and daughter suddenly lost all appetite.

“That’s great,” Xu Guangyao pried her hand away, “I just remembered there’s something left unhandled at the company, I need to go back and check on it.”

Xu Xingluo, who had been shocked twice in one day, said wearily, “Mom, I’m too tired, I’ll head back to my room first.”

“Ah? Guangyao, Xingluo, aren’t you eating?”

“Not anymore.”

Celebrate my ass.

Their wealth was about to vanish into thin air.

It seemed like the time had come to target those experts; there’s always someone who will cave for money.

If a million isn’t enough, then ten million!

If ten million doesn’t satisfy, just keep raising the price!

As long as one expert is bribed to interfere, Liu Zongyun’s recovery would be hopeless.

Where there are many voices and chaos reigns, there’s always an opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Sooner or later, they would get rid of him!

…

Night fell.

The Huo Family’s small villa.

After dinner, Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou headed to the swimming pool. The pool water was clear, with a few swimming rings floating on the surface, intended for Qiao Xi’s use.

She had become quite good at breaststroke, and had also gotten her driver’s license.

Wearing a black swimsuit, she swam back and forth in the pool, looking at the man supervising from the shore, she mischievously splashed water on him with a flick of her hands.

“Qiao Xi, don’t provoke me.”

He wore swimming trunks, his lean muscles covering his body, limbs outstretched.

With a cool and fair complexion, he was exceptionally handsome, ascetic yet emanating a captivating charm.

Qiao Xi was momentarily dazzled.

He was clearly a male fairy tempting others.

She looked up with a laugh, her eyes brimming with mirth, boldly challenging him, “If I provoke you, what will you do?”
