Chapter 223: Chapter 223: He has always kept himself pure for you
Xu Guangyao tried to smile dryly as he said, “That agreement was just a joke back then.”
Swallowing the pain in his heart, he continued, “As long as you’re willing to destroy the photos and let the Xu Family off, I can void it.”
It was originally a good hand.
But Xu Xingluo played it disastrously.
She had an affair with Xiang Huai, and Huo Xingzhou could never tolerate being cuckolded. How could he possibly marry her?
Xu Guangyao wouldn’t be happy about it either.
A man’s pride is bigger than the sky.
He had valued face more than life itself, so when he lost face to the Liu Family and was ridiculed by others for being a kept man,
That’s when he did something so crazy!
Huo Xingzhou obviously saw through his true nature.
With a slight upturn of his lips, Huo Xingzhou tapped his fingers sporadically on the table and said, “If Uncle Xu had said this earlier, wouldn’t everything have been fine? There is no deep hatred between our two families. When the Xu Family and Xiang Family unite in marriage, I will send a generous gift.”
Xu Guangyao had to swallow his teeth along with the blood in his stomach.
He said dryly, “Good, you must come to the birthday banquet next month.”
He was bullied by a young whipper-snapper with no power to retaliate.
“Definitely.”
Huo Xingzhou said indifferently, “But I have one more condition.”
“What condition?” Xu Guangyao nearly spat blood. Huo Xingzhou was really taking advantage of the situation.
Huo Xingzhou’s silent eyes were incredibly cold as he said dispassionately, “My wife was upset by Xu Xingluo, about that night at the Jinling Grand Hotel…”
“Alright, I will have Xingluo explain everything clearly. I’ll arrange a dinner today… Please make sure both you and your wife grace the occasion.”
Xu Guangyao’s eyes were filled with bloodshot veins.
The Xu Family really lost all face this time.
“Thank you, Uncle Xu.”
Huo Xingzhou hung up the phone and tossed the mobile phone aside.
He looked at the cutlery on the other side of the table and said, “Aunt Qian, could you please call Jiaojiao and ask where they are playing today?”
“Of course.”
Aunt Qian chuckled softly to herself.
The young master was really awkward.
He wanted to ask but couldn’t swallow his pride, so he made her call instead.
Aunt Qian stepped aside to make a phone call to Huo Sijiao to inquire about their whereabouts.
Huo Sijiao was already taking Qiao Xi to the largest beauty and wellness spa in Haicheng.
Her Maserati was parked at the entrance, and the customer manager came out to greet them.
“Miss Huo, and this is…”
Holding Qiao Xi’s arm, Huo Sijiao introduced, “This is my sister-in-law.”
“So it’s Young Madam Huo, no wonder she’s so beautiful. Her skin is so transparent I can’t even see pores, how wonderful.”
“Get us a private room,” said Huo Sijiao decisively, “and find a therapist with good technique. My sister-in-law hasn’t come here much, so the massage shouldn’t be too intense.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll arrange it right away. Please take a seat for a moment. Young Madam, do you have any dietary restrictions?”
Qiao Xi shook her head, puzzled.
Huo Sijiao explained, “They also offer a variety of snacks here. If sister-in-law isn’t in a hurry to get home, you can relax here all day.”
“Mhm.”
Qiao Xi really didn’t want to go home to face Huo Xingzhou.
She had laid everything out about that night at the Jinling Grand Hotel last night, so Mr. Huo should understand her message.
She already knew about his overnight stay with Xu Xingluo.
She hadn’t slept well all night, afraid the man would burst into her room to confront her.
“Let’s go, sister-in-law.”
Holding her hand, Huo Sijiao led her to the room. The rooms in the beauty spa were very comfortable, with lighting and scents that were extremely pleasant, and the scale of the spa was large as well.
The sisters-in-law changed into their robes and lay down on the beauty beds.
Two young beauticians walked in and asked softly, “Miss Huo, would you like the full set today?”
“Yes, please give my sister-in-law a thorough relaxation treatment.”
“Alright.”
Imitating Huo Sijiao’s demeanor, Qiao Xi lay on the beauty bed.
The room was filled with an intoxicating fragrance that made one drowsy. The beautician’s gentle hands massaged her back, and her insomnia-induced fatigue gradually dissipated, her nerves finally relaxing.
“Sister-in-law, don’t take out your anger on my brother for the foolish things my dad has done,” Huo Sijiao was there to plead.
She was worried they might get divorced.
If the conversation was out in the open, there shouldn’t be a problem anymore, right?
She lay on the beauty bed, pouting and asking, “You won’t divorce my brother now, will you?”
Qiao Xi’s little face wrinkled with difficulty.
Huo Sijiao exclaimed in shock, “Are you still considering divorce? Speak up if you have any concerns.”
She really couldn’t fathom what Qiao Xi was worried about.
Perhaps the room was too comfortable, or maybe Qiao Xi had bottled up her feelings for too long. Hearing Huo Sijiao’s question, she fell silent for a while before speaking, “Jiaojiao, do you think I’m a very unlucky person?”
Her existence could potentially harm everyone around her.
“Good heavens.”
Clutching her forehead, Huo Sijiao shouted, “How could you think that way?”
“Because of my father’s and grandmother’s deaths, and… not being loved by my biological mother.” She had lost all her relatives.
Huo Sijiao tried her best to convince her, “Sister-in-law, birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural. If you’re going to be superstitious, don’t you think you bring good fortune? Ever since you married into our family, everything has been going well. Why acknowledge others’ mistakes?

Sister-in-law, you are a very, very good person. Our whole family likes you. My dad is a char siew, so don’t bother about him.”
After learning of the agreement, Huo Sijiao had been giving Huo Jiancheng the cold shoulder for two days.
Mother and daughter looked at Huo Jiancheng with distaste.
The whole family was going to isolate Huo Jiancheng!
Qiao Xi laughed at her words: “Who talks about their own father like that.”
“Sister-in-law, you don’t have to respect him too much. From now on, just think of him as a piece of char siew. Please don’t divorce my brother. Can you bear to part with your adorable little sister-in-law?”
Huo Sijiao looked at her with a pitiful expression.
Qiao Xi truly couldn’t bear to.
After hesitating for a long time, she spoke softly, “I know all about the incident at Jinling Grand Hotel. I…”
She was inherently domineering, with a strong sense of possession.
And she was equally worried about hurting Huo Xingzhou’s pride.
Huo Sijiao let out an “Ah” with a dejected expression, “How did you know about what happened at Jinling Grand Hotel?”
Her question, instead, surprised Qiao Xi.
“You all know?”
“Yes, Xu Xingluo is so shameless and vile! Sister-in-law, how did you find out? We didn’t want to upset you and were thinking of keeping it from you.”
So, they all knew.
Her smile fading a bit, Qiao Xi said, “That night, while I was waiting outside the emergency room, I received an anonymous email filled with intimate photos of Xu Xingluo and Mr. Huo. He didn’t come home that night, he was with her, wasn’t he?”
“Nonsense!”
Huo Sijiao exploded with anger.
“Sister-in-law, my brother and Xu Xingluo have nothing going on. That vile woman didn’t succeed, my brother stayed in a private hospital all night.”
“Sister-in-law, he’s innocent! He has always remained chaste for you!”
With her eyebrows knitted, Qiao Xi was skeptical, “But I… saw those photos. They didn’t spend the night together?”
“Of course not! Sister-in-law, show me those photos.”
Full of indignation, Huo Sijiao realized that these photos were the root cause of her brother’s and sister-in-law’s potential divorce.
It was obvious who took them.
Qiao Xi opened the email and handed her the phone.
