Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Tarnishing the Young Master’s Innocence

Xu Xingluo feigned sincerity as she spoke, “Brother Xingzhou treats Qiao Xi so well, I’m really envious. If we hadn’t been separated because of the car accident, perhaps I would have been the one enjoying this treatment.”

As she said this, there seemed to be a glistening moisture in her eyes.

Huo Xingzhou didn’t bother to pay any attention to her.

Xu Xingluo’s attempt only resulted in awkwardness, but it was Huo Jiancheng who was busy trying to smooth things over, “Xingluo is a good kid, I always thought how nice it would be to have such an excellent daughter.”

Huo Xingzhou glanced at him indifferently and said casually, “Taking advantage of this occasion, you can recognize her as your goddaughter. I don’t mind, and I’m sure Jiaojiao wouldn’t either.”

Xu Xingluo’s face changed in an instant, and Xu Guangyao also chuckled to ease the situation, “A goddaughter won’t do. Jiancheng, your wish is going to come to nothing.”

Huo Jiancheng also forced a couple of awkward laughs.

Huo Xingzhou put down his glass, stood up, and picked up his suit jacket that was hanging on the back of the chair, “Everyone, please enjoy yourselves, I have to go.”

He was going to deliver the freshly-prepared Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to Qiao Xi.

He had said last night that he would visit her at the clinic early if he finished early.

Xu Guangyao looked unruffled, signaling Huo Jiancheng with his eyes, and Huo Jiancheng nodded reluctantly.

Xu Guangyao spoke up, “Xingzhou, there are so many elders here. Although we understand that you’re in a hurry to return home to your lovely wife, leaving early doesn’t seem proper. This is also Tianyuan Group’s mid-year celebration.”

The others nodded in agreement.

“President Huo, please bring your wife next time! We haven’t had the pleasure of meeting her formally yet.”

“Indeed! President Huo, why don’t you leave later? We still have a lot of business expertise to discuss with you.”

It was at this moment that Huo Jiancheng intervened to mediate, playing the good guy with a smile, “Let Xingzhou go, everyone! Even if you try, you can’t keep him; how about we let him drink a penalty cup on his own and offer a little apology to the rest of us?”

He opened a bottle of red wine for Huo Xingzhou and poured it saying, “Xingzhou, show some token gesture.”

Without suspicion, Huo Xingzhou picked up the wine glass and drained it in one gulp, “Sorry about tonight, I’ll take her with me next time I have the chance.”

Huo Jiancheng’s gaze darted away, his heart heavy.

Watching Huo Xingzhou drink the wine he had handed him without any guard, he had an inscrutable look in his eyes.

Ten years ago, the trap he had impulsively set now required his son to repay with his happiness ten years later.

He thought determinedly that the Huo and Xu families were also close to a marital alliance once, and he was simply getting things back on track. He hoped all the losses could be minimized.

He just felt sorry for Qiao Xi.

Huo Xingzhou, holding his coat, strode away.

Xu Xingluo could not help but follow him, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

“Brother Xingzhou!”

Following Huo Xingzhou through the corridor of the Jinling Grand Hotel, Xu Xingluo caught up with him. She grabbed the man’s sleeve and said, “Brother Xingzhou, wait for me; I have something to say to you.”

Huo Xingzhou shook off her hand and looked at her distantly, “We have nothing to talk about.”

Xu Xingluo spoke with a tone of grievance, “Brother Xingzhou, don’t you like me at all anymore? Ten years ago, it was I who saved you. You said you would protect me for a lifetime. How can you go back on your word?”

She was just trying to delay him until the drug took effect.

“To protect you means to ensure you don’t die, not to marry you.”

Huo Xingzhou was somewhat disgusted by her relentless troublemaking and even more so by the Xu family’s inability to take a hint.

“Brother Xingzhou, is it all because of Qiao Xi?”

“Even without her, we would have parted ways sooner or later,” Huo Xingzhou, seeing through her true nature, could not summon any feelings of affection for her.

His face turned cold as his head suddenly felt heavy, and his limbs weakened.

Seeing his condition, Xu Xingluo embraced him, “Brother Xingzhou, are you alright? Did you drink too much?”

“Let go!”

Huo Xingzhou was well aware that something had been mixed into the wine he had just drunk, but it was Huo Jiancheng who had given it to him.

He had no doubts whatsoever.

“I won’t let go!” Her lips eagerly sought his, but he dodged her kiss.

Huo Xingzhou pushed her away fiercely, his eyes brimming with frigid shards of ice, “Xu Xingluo, you truly are despicable.”

“You won’t be able to escape!”

In a coy voice, Xu Xingluo said, “I know you have a strong will, so I didn’t use an aphrodisiac, but chose a very effective drug instead. Brother Xingzhou, stop struggling.”

“I love you more than Qiao Xi does.”

Holding him tightly, she whispered, “Once we have a child, you will marry me!”

He couldn’t shake her off.

Leaning against a pillar, Huo Xingzhou struggled to suppress his discomfort as he coldly watched her tear at his clothes like a beast in heat.

Click, click.

The long-range cameras hidden in the Jinling Grand Hotel captured Huo Xingzhou and Xu Xingluo in a seemingly passionate and intimate entanglement.

Under the shadows cast by the pillars and the dim lights, the two appeared to be lost in a reckless kiss, oblivious to their surroundings.

Huo Xingzhou dodged her attempt to kiss him and spoke with disgust, “Xu Xingluo, you used to spread rumors about our intimate relationship, and I didn’t hold it against you. But it seems to have made you more brazen.”

Innocently, Xu Xingluo said, “Just marry me, as a way to repay me for saving your life once.”

Huo Xingzhou’s eyes darkened as he fiddled with the small dial on the back of his Patek Philippe watch.

Biding his time!

Xu Xingluo, failing to kiss his lips, flung herself into his embrace, wishing she could melt into his body.

“Brother Xingzhou, do you prefer it here? Or perhaps in the hotel? Once you pass out, I’ll have the bodyguards take you to the hotel,” she said.

She would not waste a single moment of this rare opportunity.

Huo Xingzhou’s expression was solemn, like a deity that could not be trespassed upon, “Is this all the seduction you’re capable of? Even under the influence of the drug, I have no interest in you.”

“You will be interested.”

Xu Xingluo said fiercely, “I will record our intimate night together and send it to Qiao Xi for her to enjoy.”

Tonight, that country girl would lose everything.

Career, love!

With his eyes half-closed, Huo Xingzhou’s icy voice resounded, “I’m afraid you won’t have that chance.”

She was foolish!

Her inherent foolishness pierced through, boasting before she had even won!

If he really held it against her, he would have killed her a thousand times over by now!

Yet, it was the pressure from the Liu Family and the Xu Family, along with Haicheng’s well-known act of her saving his life, that bolstered her arrogance.

“Huo Er!”

“Young master!”

The voices of Zhou Yu and Old Chen came from afar, growing louder and closer.

“How is this possible? I had made sure they were led away!” Xu Xingluo said in panic.

The corners of Huo Xingzhou’s mouth curled into a cold smile.

After so many years in the business, he had learned from his mistakes.

Only, he hadn’t anticipated Huo Jiancheng would collude with outsiders.

Did Xu Xingluo really think he was so easily manipulated?

“Young master!”

“Old Chen, over there! Hurry, the young master’s innocence is at stake! Xu Xingluo, what are you doing?” Zhou Yu was almost blinded by what he saw.

Old Chen hurried over, easily taking down the Xu Family’s bodyguards. Seeing the distraught Xu Xingluo, he showed no mercy, pushing her to the ground without a hint of pity.

Determined to defend the young master’s honor to the death!

Xu Xingluo cried out as her delicate skin collided with the blue stone tiles, turning red and swelling up.
