Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him

Chapter 31: Chapter 31 She is my wife

The driver, Old Chen, stepped forward and pulled the middle-aged madwoman away, respectfully saying, “Young Madam, are you alright?”

Young Madam?

Qiao Xi was the Young Madam?

Everyone was shocked as they stared at her. Was Qiao Xi the wife of the Huo family’s second young master?

“They’re married?”

“How could Qiao Xi be the Young Madam of the Huo family? Could she seek revenge against us?” The girls around Wu Yachun were terrified.

...

Huo Xingzhou maneuvered his wheelchair slowly closer, took Qiao Xi’s cold hand, and warned everyone, “She is my wife, not some mistress. Those who spread rumors and slander will be held legally responsible.”

Ye Manman’s belongings dropped to the ground as she slumped, weakened.

What did the Huo family mean?

They were the leading business magnates of the financial sector in Haicheng, an elite family.

Where did Qiao Xi find such luck to climb into such a household? She was actually the Huo family’s Young Madam!

“Open your eyes wide and see clearly!” Huo Sijiao, holding a thermal container, squeezed out of the crowd.

“This is my sister-in-law, she and my brother are legally married! All of you who are spreading rumors that she’s a mistress, are you blind?”

She stood in front of Qiao Xi, filled with righteous indignation.

“Jiaojiao,” Qiao Xi called softly, “I’m fine.”

“Sister-in-law, don’t be afraid. I’ve seen the post, it’s all rumors!” she exclaimed loudly, “You’re saying my sister-in-law got into many luxury cars! Our Huo family’s garage is full of luxury cars, and it’s not strange to switch them every day!”

“You really have nothing better to do! Still want to look? I will take note of all of you and deal with you one by one!”

Her boldness and straightforwardness were powerful.

The onlooking passersby kept their mouths shut, not daring to linger any longer, and scurried away in defeat.

Wu Yachun bit her lip, her face deathly pale, as she realized she had offended the Huo family.

“Qiao Xi, I’m sorry!”

“Please forgive us, Qiao Xi. It was all Yachun and Manman’s instigation. We didn’t mean to target you, but Wu Yachun said if we didn’t listen, her uncle would make things hard for us.”

“Yes, please. We really need this job, please don’t pursue this.”

Wu Yachun’s lackeys all defected, apologizing.

Wu Yachun’s expression turned even uglier as she glared hatefully at the disconsolate Ye Manman.

The middle-aged woman fearfully said, “It was all her saying that you were the mistress!”

“What a bunch of shameless cowards!” Huo Sijiao, holding Qiao Xi’s other hand, said, “Sister-in-law, you can handle this however you want! The Huo family will bear any consequences for you!”

Hearing this, Wu Yachun’s face turned paler.

She feared Qiao Xi would show no mercy!

Wu Yachun trembled as she said, “Ye Manman, say something! Didn’t you say you know Miss Huo? Please, beg for mercy!”

Her uncle was just a minor director who wouldn’t dare to offend the Huo family.

Upon hearing this, Huo Sijiao’s eyes narrowed.

“Know me? Who do you think you are, some random cat or dog?” Huo Sijiao sized her up. “That bag of yours is a fake, isn’t it?”

Ye Manman felt even more humiliated.

“So you’ve been lying all along!” Wu Yachun, furious, slapped Ye Manman across the face, “Shameless! Pretending to be rich and glamorous!”

Ye Manman covered her cheek, swaying as if about to collapse.

Her mind was in chaos, and she wanted to close her eyes and pretend to faint to escape this calamity.

“If you dare to faint, I’ll wake you with a needle,” Qiao Xi’s cool voice rang out, “and make sure you stay paralyzed in bed for a lifetime.”

Ye Manman’s face flushed and paled, and with a “thud,” she fell to her knees. “Qiao Xi, I was blinded by envy, which led me to do such foolish things! I apologize to you!”

Qiao Xi looked down at Ye Manman, “For the fourth time now. You conspired with Chen Xu to set me up at the class reunion. On the first day of the internship, you instigated everyone to ostracize me. And there was the time you had Chen Xu make a scene at the hospital to ruin my reputation. Plus today…”

“It’s five times.”

The man of noble bearing corrected from his wheelchair, speaking indifferently, “The posts on the school forum were also her doing.”

His eyes brimmed with fragments of ice.

Ye Manman felt as if she had plummeted into an ice cellar!

As if encased in ice, kneeling in the vast snowy expanse, she fell into endless darkness.

“That’s despicable!” Huo Sijiao exclaimed angrily, “People like her should be sent to prison!”

“I’m sorry, Young Master Huo! I’m sorry, I’m so sorry…”

Ye Manman kowtowed, “I beg you, please let me go.” @@novelbin@@

Huo Xingzhou looked at Qiao Xi, worried she might be soft-hearted. Such a person would never learn their lesson. If Ye Manman ever got the chance for revenge, she would be all the more vindictive.

“Ye Manman. I will not resort to illegal means to get back at you, but you must pay the price for everything you’ve done,” Qiao Xi said calmly, “I will gather evidence and let the law punish you.”

“Qiao Xi! We were college roommates, are you really so heartless?”

Ye Manman cried out hysterically, “You’ve been enjoying watching me make a fool of myself all along!”

“We kept to our own paths, it was always you who wanted to harm me,” Qiao Xi said.

Ye Manman felt utterly disheartened and abandoned herself to despair, “So what if you have someone backing you up! Even Chen Xu’s family bankruptcy was your doing, wasn’t it? Qiao Xi, I never imagined I couldn’t beat you.”

“You really are unreasonable! Insisting on this constant struggle, my sister-in-law has no desire to get involved with you!”

Huo Sijiao said disdainfully, “Now get lost, and wait for the court summons!”

Ye Manman was driven mad with hatred, bending over to pick up her things from the ground and leaving, her eyes filled with a blood-red resentment!

She was not ready to give up!

But at this moment, all she could do was take her belongings and scram!

The corridor fell silent once again.

Qiao Xi glanced at Wu Yachun and the others, then softly said as she placed her hand on Huo Xingzhou’s wheelchair, “Mr. Huo, let me take you back to the ward.”

The man’s face remained stern, with no response.

Instead, he addressed Huo Sijiao, “You handle the clarification at the school. I’ll suggest to Haicheng University’s forum to implement real-name authentication. Old Chen, take that middle-aged woman to the police station.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

“No problem, leave it to me. I will surely clear my sister-in-law’s name.”

Huo Sijiao promised.

She handed the insulated container to Qiao Xi, “Sister-in-law, please take good care of my brother. Here’s the duck soup Mom made for you both.”

“Oh, okay.”

Qiao Xi hurriedly took it.

“I’ll be going then, call me if you need anything. Sister-in-law can’t be wronged in the hospital.”

After giving her instructions, Huo Sijiao left.

Qiao Xi, with one hand carrying the insulated container and the other about to push Huo Xingzhou, saw him press the button for automatic driving, and the wheelchair moved forward, leaving her hand hanging in the air.

She quickly followed and squeezed into the elevator just before the doors closed.

“Mr. Huo.”

Her heart pounded as though it were drumming, “Are you upset?”

Qiao Xi didn’t know what he might be angry about.

He lifted his gaze, looking at her coldly, “Qiao Xi, would you rather be slandered and bullied than tell them, even once, that you are my wife?”
