Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 803: Release the News

Cheng Han is not someone who dithers.

When people make mistakes, they must face the consequences.

Especially when it’s not just a mistake, but harming others.

"Miss Qiao, I know you told me this out of good intentions. I was indeed surprised to hear this news," Cheng Han took a deep breath and said, "But people must pay for their mistakes. Apart from blood ties, we are strangers."

"So I won’t defend her. Whatever you plan, I’ll cooperate."

Cheng Han knew how much effort Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou had put into this day, and past sins shouldn’t affect them.

"Grandpa Cheng..."

"Go, do what you intend to do. Cause and effect. I was once absorbed in my medical skills and neglected to educate my daughter. That’s why she took the wrong path and got deceived by a hypocrite like Lu Bannong. Even if it means exposing my relationship with the Lu Family now, it’s a result. I don’t fear infamy, there’s always a kind of karmic retribution."

Lu Yingxue has blood on her hands, so she shouldn’t live so gloriously, admired by all.

How ironic!

Lu Bannong, a hypocrite, shouldn’t carry a good reputation to his grave. Over the years, I’m sure he’s done plenty of illegal things in private too.

We need to lay it all out and investigate thoroughly.

"Thank you for your understanding."

Qiao Xi’s eyes were moist, with a hint of heartache and regret.

"You don’t need to thank me. Without you, I would really be dead now. No need to worry too much about my feelings, young people shouldn’t be so cautious in doing things. I’ve lived my life to be true to my conscience, if I really protect the Lu Family father and daughter, then that would be a moral failing."

When his daughter wakes up, she might feel heartache for Lu Yingxue.

Cheng Han couldn’t quite grasp what his daughter’s thoughts would be after all these years.

If she insists on forcing the issue, then he would consider that his daughter died over twenty years ago.

"Go, child. I need some time to calm down."

"Mmm."

Qiao Xi nodded and hesitantly left.

She looked back at Cheng Han’s figure, the sunlight in the corridor stretched his shadow long, appearing somewhat desolate. It always felt like this wasn’t as easy-going as he claimed.

He must be very sad.

Siblings against each other.

All these years, with no other relatives by his side, did he yearn for family affection too?

Qiao Xi went downstairs and found a crowd in the living room, including Huo Sijiao.

As soon as she saw Qiao Xi, she stood up and walked forward to grasp her hand: "Sister-in-law, I see that nothing about Lu Yingxue’s scandal has been exposed online. I asked brother and Young Master Sun, they didn’t reveal a word, saying it’s up to your decision. What exactly do you think?"

How could we not seize such a good opportunity?

We finally caught dirt on Lu Yingxue, who’s always liked to portray herself as pure and untainted. If people knew how chaotic her private life is,

They would surely be shocked.

"Sister-in-law, you mustn’t soften at this time. Those present guests have only dared to circulate this news within high society, the media dare not utter a single word. If it’s inconvenient for you to act, you just tell me! Xie Xubai and I can expose this..."

Huo Sijiao hates evil with a passion and doesn’t want bad people to escape justice.

Qiao Xi looked at her, then turned her eyes to Sun Weimeng, who was eagerly awaiting her word: "I don’t intend to let her off. I just came down to tell you the plan proceeds as usual."

"Great!"

Sun Weimeng jumped three feet high, "I’ll guide the public opinion, that’s my strong suit. Since Haicheng, I’ve nurtured a whole bunch of paid internet handlers."

Huo Sijiao also sighed with relief: "Then I’ll contact the media and release the evidence in hand. From today, Lu Yingxue won’t get a good night’s sleep."

Qiao Xi politely said: "Thank you for your trouble."

"No trouble at all! I’ve wanted to do this for a long time!" freёweɓnovel_com

"Yeah, I can’t stand her!"

The two were bustling about with matched enthusiasm and character.

With them each occupied, Qiao Xi sat on the sofa beside Huo Xingzhou. She sank into the soft sofa, her brow furrowed, visibly preoccupied with her thoughts.

Huo Xingzhou reached out and placed a hand behind her shoulder, gently pulling her into his embrace.

"What’s bothering you?"

Qiao Xi shook her head, her head nestled into his arms. She just felt as if a storm was brewing, and a new wave of troubles was about to begin, leaving her somewhat exhausted.

Since arriving in the Imperial Capital, there hasn’t been a peaceful day.

Huo Xingzhou’s tone was gentle: "What would you like to eat later?"

"I don’t have an appetite; my mouth is bitter. I can’t eat anything..." Her morning sickness was quite severe, and with twins in her stomach, she was more exhausted than most mothers, but fortunately, she was young enough to bear the hardship.

"I’ll have Xiaoyun make something light and leave it in the kitchen for you. If your stomach’s empty, you’ll feel worse in the afternoon. It looks like it’s going to rain outside, just cover yourself and have a good nap."

Qiao Xi slightly raised her head: "What about you?"

"I’ll stay with you. I have some work to handle for the company, I’ll be in the room with you."

"Okay."

Qiao Xi had been lonely for too many years and didn’t like being alone in an empty room. Previously she’d been afraid of troubling others, so she wouldn’t voice it.

Now that Huo Xingzhou had taken the initiative, her heart felt much more at ease.

She reached out to hug him, feeling more and more how mindful and considerate he was beneath his cold exterior.

"Let’s go."

Huo Xingzhou stood up, holding her hand as they headed upstairs.

Outside, it was about to rain, the sky was overcast. The large, dark clouds hung low, and the north wind howled.

Even with the curtains drawn, the room remained dim. The temperature inside was moderate, Qiao Xi changed into a cotton pajama set and got into bed, lying on her side.

Her hand tucked under her head, she looked so obediently at Huo Xingzhou by the window.

He moved a small round table, placed his laptop on it. His fingers tapped on the keyboard, the sound gentle and rhythmic, like spring silkworms munching on mulberry leaves.

Before long, the rain outside began to fall.

Pat pat pat.

The terrace door wasn’t closed, allowing the sound of large raindrops to be heard, tapping against the glass and ground.

Not quiet, but very reassuring.

She watched Huo Xingzhou at work, observing his perfectly contoured profile. Sensing this man’s breath and warmth in the same space, regardless of how long she slept, she could open her eyes and see him.

It seemed to dispel the worries in Qiao Xi’s mind.

Huo Xingzhou was her cure.

Her eyelashes fluttered, feeling her eyelids growing heavy. A wave of drowsiness overcame her, and she didn’t know when she fell asleep.

Huo Xingzhou glanced sideways, his thin lips slightly curling.

What once seemed mundane days of predictability, now felt like a luxury just to have peace.

How long had it been since he and Qiao Xi shared such a tranquil moment?

Once the affairs in the Imperial Capital were settled, they would return to Haicheng.

They would never get involved in these conflicts again.

Huo Xingzhou tapped the enter key, sending a message.
