Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Ambiguous Loss of Control, Thunder and Fire from the Sky
Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment, then turned around, her back facing Huo Xingzhou.
Her fingers touched her coat and slowly she took off her coat and inner layer.
Nothing was left but a bandeau.
The smooth and fair skin of her back was marred by shocking scars.
Huo Xingzhou reached out his fingers and combed her long hair strand by strand to the front. He scooped a large chunk of ointment and smeared it on her back.
He gently lifted her strap with his index finger.
...
Slowly, gently, spreading it out.
Qiao Xi couldn’t help but shiver, the ointment was cool, bringing much relief to the burning pain of her wounds.
“For the first time, a woman took a beating for me,” Huo Xingzhou’s eyes were obscure, dark and heavy, lingering long.
He wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her tightly, and Qiao Xi just sat there on his legs. She turned her head trying to see his expression, but a cold kiss landed on her rounded shoulder instead.
“Mr. Huo…”
Qiao Xi covered her chest with both hands, her whole body tense.
He impulsively hugged her tightly from behind, closed his eyes, feeling very calm inside.
“Qiao Xi, let’s pick up your grandmother and take her back to the countryside tomorrow,” he said, his warm breath on her neck and shoulder.
“Okay. Grandma has been looking forward to returning to the countryside, she calls every day hoping for it,” she replied.
“I’ve already spoken to the hospital for you,” Huo Xingzhou said softly.
He seemed very tired, holding her and gradually falling asleep.
Qiao Xi didn’t dare to move, allowing him to lean on her.
That evening.
A trending search exploded.
Huo Xingzhou of the Huo Second Branch, breaking away from the Huo Clan! Severance of relations!
The whistleblower provided evidence that Huo Xingzhou stubbornly went his own way, becoming the family outcast. Below were photographs of Huo Xingzhou, covered in bruises, leaving the old Huo residence.
Someone managed to get hold of the “Letter of Severance,” a definitive proof!
In black and white, there was no turning back!
The precepts of the Huo Family were well known to all!
The once-favored scion had turned into a complete failure. Those rich and privileged young men who had grown up in Huo Xingzhou’s shadow were now celebrating on their social circles, spreading the news!
In the WeChat groups of Haicheng’s elite, everyone was ridiculing Huo Xingzhou.
Huo Xingzhou had always been “the child of someone else’s family,” but now his end was tragic, expelled from the family records! @@novelbin@@
On the Huo Clan’s family tree, the name Huo Xingzhou would appear no more.
…
In a dimly lit bar.
The music was deafening as sultry women and young men swayed in the dance floor.
In the corner booth, glasses clinked clearly!
“Ding!”
“Cheers!”
Here’s to our young master becoming the Huo Family Head!”
“With the news out, even if Huo Xingzhou begs on his knees, there’s no way he can return to the Huo family now! The old man is all about saving face!”
Men and women gathered around a table, with Huo Beiting and Su Weiwei as the center of attention. The air was filled with the scent of alcohol and perfume, as Beiting wrapped his Arm around Weiwei’s shoulder, laughing uncontrollably.
“Haha, drinks are on me tonight!”
“Beiting brother is so generous! The Huo family will be yours soon. That Huo Xingzhou is nothing. A disabled cripple, if we ever run into him, we’ll teach him a lesson for you!”
“Yeah, he used to be so arrogant, my dad would often use him as an example to scold me!”
They drank heavily, as if it were the happiest celebration of the year.
“From now on, if you run into Huo Xingzhou, teach him a harsh lesson. For every slap, I’ll give you one hundred thousand yuan!” Huo Beiting, drunk and merry, proudly declared.
“Wow! Then I’ll have to slap him a few more times! Turn that handsome face of his into a pig’s head!”
Laughter erupted among them.
Su Weiwei, her face flushed with drink, felt a rush of excitement.
Her marriage to Huo Beiting had been settled, and her father was also very happy. From now on, the Huo Family would belong to Huo Beiting, and she would become the young mistress of the Huo Family!
“Weiwei, I’m really envious of you, being able to find such a good husband like Huo’s young master,” her best friend Fang Anni poured her another glass of wine, “I wish you happiness!”
Su Weiwei, half-drunk, didn’t refuse any drinks that came her way.
“Anni, I’ll introduce you to a good match in the future too,” she said as if she were walking on clouds, intoxicated by others’ compliments, satisfying her vanity.
“Thank you so much. Let’s drink a few more,” Fang Anni kept filling her glass.
With one drink after another, Fang Anni maintained a smile, her long legs in black high heels brushing against the other side.
Huo Beiting’s gaze lifted, meeting hers.
They shared an unspoken, fiery connection, charged with electricity.
Fang Anni blinked, full of teasing and interest, even tossing her chin towards Su Weiwei’s direction.
Huo Beiting’s hand stretched beneath the table, running up her sexy black stockings.
In the dim light of the bar, Su Weiwei kept talking to Fang Anni, dreaming of a blissful future, oblivious to the mischief between the other two.
“Anni, you have to be my bridesmaid when I get married,” Su Weiwei held her hand, “You’re my best sister!”
“Of course,” Fang Anni replied, but couldn’t help squealing a little.
She shot Huo Beiting an angry glance, while he became even more brazen.
“Anni, what’s wrong?” Su Weiwei asked, her eyes heavy with drunkenness.
Fang Anni lied with a straight face, “There’s a mosquito.”
“Mosquitoes… this early in the season?” Su Weiwei’s head felt like it was barely functioning.
Huo Beiting, getting impatient, coaxed Su Weiwei into drinking a few more glasses of wine.
“Weiwei, you’re drunk. Let’s go rest in the hotel next door,” Fang Anni, supporting the totally plastered Su Weiwei, stood up to leave.
Huo Beiting threw a bank card to his buddy, “Just swipe this card for whatever, enjoy yourselves tonight.”
“Take care, Brother Beiting!”
“Be careful on the road!”
Huo Beiting strode out quickly, heading to the adjacent five-star hotel. They checked into a top-floor suite, Fang Anni helping Su Weiwei inside, then let her crash on the sofa.
Before long, there came a knock at the door.
Fang Anni reluctantly opened the door and seeing Huo Beiting’s handsome face, she snorted coldly.
Huo Beiting wrapped his arms around her waist, “Fairy, you’re trying to drive me wild, aren’t you?”
“The young master should keep his distance; you’re getting married to Su Weiwei,” she turned her face away, clearly jealous.
They were the ones who knew each other first, keeping an intimate bed relationship.
“Her?”
Huo Beiting scoffed, “Her family has money. But you, you’re the one I love most.”
He kissed her face several times, coaxing, “Calm down, let’s go to the next room.”
“No! I want it in this room!”
Fang Anni pouted, “I want to do it with you right in front of her!”
Dressed in a red spaghetti-strap dress, her makeup heavy, she was a sexy, gorgeous beauty. With her figure and looks, she would stand out in a beauty contest, capable of arousing any man’s primal urges.
Far more than Su Weiwei ever could.
Desire surged in Huo Beiting’s throat.
“What if we wake her up?” he whispered hoarsely, his hands firmly massaging her waist.
Fang Anni’s fingers traced circles on his chest, her eyes sultry as silk, “Don’t you think that’s thrilling?”
What do you think?
