It was dark and the rain was falling harder and harder.
The Lu family's car passed by at a high speed on the road, and after an unknown amount of time, the car passed through many alleys and stopped at the door of a remote house.
"Master Huo, we're here, please get out of the car." The escorting bodyguard opened the car door, held an umbrella, and another bodyguard waited on the side pushing a brand new wheelchair.
Lu Huo sat expressionlessly, without moving.
"Master Huo, don't make things difficult for us," said the bodyguard.
The rain kept falling on the ground, and the surrounding area was full of loud "squeaky" rain sounds.
After a stalemate for a while, just when the bodyguard was about to step forward and press Lu Huo onto the wheelchair, Lu Huo's lips tightened, and he moved his body to sit on the wheelchair.
The bodyguard held the umbrella for him, went to the big iron gate, communicated with the guard, and the guard opened the door immediately.
As Steward Lu said, the environment of the house prepared by Mr. Lu is very good. It has a garden and a fountain. The difference between heaven and earth.
Obviously, all of this has already been prepared.
There was a young nurse in the house, not Wen Qing.
The other party was in charge of Lu Huo's daily life. When she saw Lu Huo appearing, she was taken aback for a moment. She didn't expect that the person she had to take care of was so young and had such an outstanding appearance.
She hurried forward to ask Lu Huo what she needed.
Lu Huo's deep voice was colder than the rain outside, "Where is the room?"
The young female nurse quickly responded, "Master, please follow me."
She walked in front to lead the way, Lu Huo turned the wheelchair, and the two bodyguards followed all the way.
Lu Huo's room is in the master bedroom on the first floor. The room is three times the size of the small house Lu Huo lived in before, and it is equipped with a large bathroom.
In the bathroom, not only is there a large mirror that occupies almost one-third of the wall, but also a large massage-style bathtub, which can accommodate 5-6 people to soak in it.
The location of the room is also very good. When you open the glass door, there is a large open-air balcony with a lot of green plants. It's just that it's raining outside now, so I can't see how beautiful the scenery is.
The color tone of the room is very similar to Lu Huo's style, mainly gray and white, even the sheets on the bed are light gray, clean and cold.
Lu Huo looked at the two bodyguards standing in front of him, and he sneered: "Why, you want to keep watching me in the room?"
"No. Master Huo, we are outside. If you need anything, you can tell us at any time." After the bodyguard finished speaking, he backed out.
The young female nurse said, "Master, do you need me to get a clean towel to wipe you first? Do you need to prepare your clothes and put hot water for you now?"
Lu Huo's eyes were lowered, and his deep facial features carried a chill, "No, you go out."
"Yes, master." The female nurse hurriedly backed out.
The door was closed, and the large room was very quiet.
Lu Huo was drenched all over, and water droplets dripped from his body and landed on the ground.
He began to search the room, searched the room, but he did not find any communication props.
His eyes darkened, and Lu Huo turned his wheelchair to the balcony. The rain fell on him, but he didn't care at all.
He observed the terrain outside, the balcony was facing the yard.
He held onto the railing of the balcony, struggling to support his upper body with his hands, trying to stand up. Just yesterday, he felt the muscles in his feet jump like never before.
His body leaned out of the fence, and then he let go of his hand. The next second, his body fell out of the fence, and he fell heavily outside the balcony.
Lu Huo didn't care about the pain when his arm hit the stone steps. He propped his upper body against the wall and tried to stand up.
Lu Huo gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead stood out. However, he could only lift his upper body, and his legs still could not move.
The rain fell on the young man, his face was pale, and he moved forward slowly. The rain in the dark night seemed to engulf his body.
The next morning, when Qiao Xi woke up, she had recovered a lot.
Today, she was wearing a light pink button-up sleeved blouse and a plain white skirt on her lower body.
When she went downstairs, grandma was already sitting in the living room, and the nanny was helping her make tea.
"Good morning, grandma." Qiao Xi walked over.
"Are you up?" Seeing that the little granddaughter's face had recovered, the grandma breathed a sigh of relief, "Come and sit down."
Qiao Xi walked over and sat down beside her.
"I can't sleep for a long time as an old woman. You wake up so early. Your body is just right. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"I went to bed early last night, and I have nothing to do now." Qiao Xi took the tea from the nanny, "It smells so good."
"Try it. This tea is sweet and refreshing. It's most suitable for drinking in autumn." Grandma looked at Qiao Xi's face carefully. After one night, she did recover. Her snow-white face was slightly red. It looks healthy.
I have to say that her granddaughter is extremely beautiful.
Qiao Xi took a sip of tea, noticed her grandmother's gaze, and smiled without any embarrassment, "Grandma wants to tell me something?"
The little granddaughter is not only beautiful, but also delicate and exquisite. If it is not for her physical problems, she must be the most perfect.
"You and Xiao Huo are childhood sweethearts and have a good relationship. Grandma knows that you regard him as an elder brother." Grandma said slowly: "What do you think, Xixi and Huo Yu, do they look like a match?"
Grandma made up her mind to match the two of them.
But in the eyes of outsiders, everyone regards Qiao Xi and Huo Yu as a couple. How could grandma not know that she just felt too guilty for Zhao Yuxi and wanted to push a junior like Huo Yu to her as a compensate.
Qiao Xi was silent.
Grandma saw her calm and quiet appearance, she sighed, "Yesterday I noticed that Xixi had been secretly peeping at Huo Yu. The Huo family has a good family background, clean and simple, and Huo Yu is one of two families who grew up watching her." Child, you have a very good character, if Xixi is with him, I am happy to see it come true."
"Grandma knows that you have a good relationship with Huo Yu, so you can help Xixi and match them up."
The meaning inside and outside the words of the old lady is obvious. Qiao Xi is a smart person, so she quickly realized, "Grandma, I don't like Huo Yu."
She said: "But if I like him, do you want me to take the initiative to give him to Zhao Yuxi? You feel that you owe her and favor her. I don't have any objections, but I don't owe her anything, so I don't need to give up. she."
Qiao Xi didn't go around the corner, she said it bluntly, "You can't hurt one granddaughter to make up for another granddaughter."
"Xiaoxi, I'm not..."
"Grandma, I don't care about Zhao Yuxi and Huo Yu's affairs, and I don't want to pay attention to them. I don't want to be involved." Qiao Xi put down the blue cup in her hand, and she stood up, "Grandma, I'm going out for a walk."
With that, she left.
"Xiaoxi..."
Grandma was stunned for a while, then she asked the nanny next to her, "Is my little granddaughter angry? Is she angry with me?"
The nanny poured the boiled water into the teapot, "Little Young can't think about it for a while, and it's normal to be sullen."
"Xiaoxi said I was biased." The demure on grandma's face disappeared, and she was a little more melancholy, "But it's a pity that the child has nothing, Xiaoxi has everything, she is so good, without Huo Yu, there are many more choose."
The nanny said: "Old lady, you can't let someone you like. Moreover, Miss Xi is right. You can't hurt Miss Xi just because you compensate Miss Xixi. Both of you are your granddaughters."
Grandma shook her head, "It's different, Xiao Xi has parents who love her, but unfortunately, only my grandmother loves her. I have to give her more love to make up for it."
The nanny didn't say anything more, after all, the old lady had already made up her mind.
After leaving the house, Qiao Xi decided to leave after celebrating her grandma's birthday tomorrow. She didn't want to get involved in their affairs.
The morning sun was shining, and it rained in J City yesterday. The rain was not heavy, and it stopped in the middle of the night. The surroundings seemed to have been washed, and the air was extraordinarily fresh.
Surrounded by houses with white walls and blue tiles, walking on the blue stone steps is particularly artistic.
"Why did you come out alone?" Suddenly, a tall figure appeared beside Qiao Xi. Huo Yu was wearing a white shirt and casual trousers today, looking good and handsome.
"Come out to get some air." Qiao Xi walked slowly.
There was a river in front of it, and willows were planted on both sides, and their long branches almost hung down on the river.
Huo Yu enjoyed the moment standing by Qiao Xi's side, his cold brows softened, "I'll walk with you."
Qiao Xi didn't respond. The road is so wide, and the other party wants to go, which is beyond her control.
"When are you going back?" Huo Yu asked the girl.
"I don't know." Qiao Xi replied casually.
The morning sun fell on the girl's face, and her delicate little face became whiter and smoother. Huo Yu looked at her with burning eyes, "There will be a lot of art exhibitions in City B recently, how about I accompany you to see them?"
"Really? Don't bother you, I can take my boyfriend with me." Qiao Xi said with a smile.
"Xiaoxi, don't use others to anger me, I will feel uncomfortable." Huo Yu's mellow voice was a bit depressed, "I regretted it the moment I saw you when I returned home."
He's been away for too long, and she's alienated him.
Qiao Xi blinked, "You misunderstood, I didn't mean to anger you, I like my boyfriend, it has nothing to do with other people."
"Xiaoxi." Huo Yu couldn't hear her mentioning her boyfriend.
Qiao Xi: "I'm telling the truth."
"Uncle and aunt won't approve of you being with someone like Lu Huo." Huo Yu reminded her, "You won't have a future, why waste that time?"
Qiao Xi's beautiful big eyes were shining, and she laughed angrily, "I'm wasting my time chatting with you here."
With that said, she turned and left.
At night, Qiao Xi made a video call to Lu Huo, but the other party never connected.
He went to take a shower
Qiao Xi put on her pajamas and lay on the bed, ready to wait for Lu Huo to find her.
However, when she woke up the next morning, Qiao Xi realized that she had fallen asleep last night, and her phone hadn't rang.
Qiao Xi directly dialed the phone, only to find that Lu Huo's phone was turned off.
Her consciousness immediately came to her senses, why did Lu Huo turn off the phone
Qiao Xi dialed Wen Qing instead, and after a while, the call was answered by the other party, "Sister Qing."
"Xiao Xi, what's the matter?" Wen Qing's voice was as gentle as ever on the other side of the phone.
Qiao Xi said: "I can't find Lu Huo, his cell phone is off, please ask him to contact me."
"I was sent by the Lu family to do other things yesterday, and I won't be back until tonight."
Qiao Xi frowned, "Aren't you at the Lu family?" How could it be such a coincidence
"No, maybe Master Lu Huo's cell phone is out of battery. If you still can't get in touch, I'll help you talk to Master Lu Huo when I get back." Wen Qing said.
Qiao Xi suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, "Okay, I'll trouble you."
Qiao Xi asked Fengfu: "Why didn't Lu Huo answer my call?"
The voice of the rich little milk sounded: "Maybe his phone is broken."
Qiao Xi's uneasy heart finally calmed down after hearing the same words as Wen Qing's.
Suddenly, the door of the room was knocked, and it was Mother Qiao who came in, "Xiaoxi, why haven't you changed your clothes yet, get up quickly, I arranged a scene in Yueyang Tower, which is your grandma's favorite, later Let's go to the theater with her."
Qiao Xi hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll get up now."
Qiao's mother smiled: "I still remember when you were a child, your grandmother took you to the theater to listen to an opera. You would often cry and cry, so she had to reluctantly take you away, but she will still take you next time."
Her old man loves Xiaoxi very much.
Qiao Xi searched in memory, but couldn't remember anything, "I forgot."
"You were still young at that time. Well, I won't talk anymore, you change your clothes quickly." Mother Qiao walked out with a smile.
There are very few people who know how to sing operas now. There is only one place to listen to operas in J City, which is very famous, and the consumption level in the theater building is also quite high, not to mention that Qiao's mother arranges the next opera to make the old lady happy.
Zhao Yuxi dressed up carefully, the skirt she was wearing was very similar to the one Qiao Xi wore the day before yesterday.
Knowing that she likes it, the old lady specially asked people to buy it according to Zhao Yuxi's size.
Doushaqing's buttoned blouse and plain white skirt made Zhao Yuxi a little more elegant and beautiful. She was very satisfied, and Qiao Xi wasn't the only one who looked good in it.
After she went downstairs, with a smile on her face, she walked towards grandma, while she kept observing Huo Yu from the corner of her eye.
She saw a bit of amazement in the other party's eyes, and the smile on Zhao Yuxi's face grew stronger.
For a moment just now, Huo Yu thought it was Qiao Xi who walked over.
The other party was dressed like Qiao Xi, and his eyebrows looked a little like Qiao Xi. At that moment, he had the illusion of seeing Qiao Xi.
"Where's Xiaoxi?" Grandma was very satisfied when she saw her eldest granddaughter's outfit.
"I just knocked on the door. She is washing up and will come down soon." Mother Qiao said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Xi walked in from the other end.
She was wearing a crescent-white cheongsam embroidered with dark flowers carefully designed by Mother Qiao. The moment she appeared, the living room was completely silent, even the sound of the nanny pouring tea stopped.
It was Qiao's mother who reacted the fastest, "Come here, Xiao Xi, I'm not wrong, you look so good in this outfit."
The cheongsam is the most attractive, especially about the figure. The self-cultivation design completely depicts the slim figure of the girl.
Qiao Xi has a good figure and a soft body, wearing a slim cheongsam, her slender waist is softer than the wicker outside the house.
The old lady is a birthday star today, she dressed up specially, wearing a dark red embroidered skirt, her hair is pulled up and combed neatly, she looks very energetic. Seeing Qiao Xi's attire, the old man couldn't help nodding her head in praise, "It's pretty, Xiao Xi looks like a girl from the Republic of China who came out of a painting."
She smiled kindly, she really liked her granddaughter's outfit.
Qiao Xi loves beauty, and she also likes this dress very much.
Next to her, Zhao Yuxi stared at Qiao Xi, her eyes full of hatred, as if no matter what she did, she could never compare to Qiao Xi.
In the theater building, Qiao Xi obediently sat and listened to the opera with her grandmother and mother, her heart had already flown far away.
Lu Huo hasn't called her yet.
This is the first time like this.
Qiao Xi frowned bit by bit, she was worried that something happened to Lu Huo.
She took out her mobile phone and quietly sent a few more text messages. Now she can only wait for Wen Qing to go back and see what's going on.
Huo Yu has been quietly paying attention to Qiao Xi, she is as beautiful as the most delicate flower in the snow today, standing out, rare and gorgeous.
Zhao Yuxi sat beside Huo Yu, she pushed the melon seeds on the table towards Huo Yu, with a partial smile, "I want to eat melon seeds, can you peel them for me?"
Huo Yu wanted to refuse, but at this time the grandma who was listening to the play spoke, she laughed and scolded the granddaughter, "If you want to eat, you can do it yourself, why do you have the nerve to bother Xiao Huo?"
"Grandma, it's okay, it's nothing, I can help." Huo Yu said, picked up the melon seeds and began to peel the shells for Zhao Yuxi.
Zhao Yuxi looked at Huo Yu, her heart beating faster little by little.
His fingers were long and dexterous, and he quickly peeled off a small pile of melon seeds and left them on a small plate. Instead of giving the melon seeds to Zhao Yuxi, he gave them to Qiao Xi.
He asked her tenderly, "Do you want to eat?"
Qiao Xi looked at the phone without looking up, "No, thank you."
Huo Yu then handed the melon seeds to Zhao Yuxi.
The smile on Zhao Yuxi's face was so stiff that she almost wanted to slap the melon seeds on the hill to the ground.
Qiao Xi only gave it to her if she didn't want it!
In a remote house.
Lu Huo couldn't escape last night, the bodyguards found him in the yard and carried him back to his room.
After a night of rain, he developed a fever.
The bodyguard told Mr. Lu about this, and the Mr. Lu asked Lu Rongrong to bring a doctor to see Lu Huo.
The young man was lying on the bed, his face was pale, his lips were so dry that he had no color, his whole body was depressed and gloomy, with an indescribable feeling of weakness.
When Lu Rongyao brought the doctor in, he urged, "Hurry up to see a doctor and prescribe medicine. My time is precious, so I don't want to waste it here."
Lu Huo is a waste abandoned by the Lu family, who can't do anything, and can't threaten him at all.
However, he was happy to see the little waste struggling in pain. He took out his mobile phone and put it in front of Lu Huo on the bed, "This is your little girlfriend, Miss Qiao?"
Hearing Qiao Xi's name, Lu Huo's closed eyelids trembled slightly. He opened his eyes and saw the mobile phone in front of him.
In the photo, the girl is wearing a gentle and beautiful skirt, and a tall man is standing beside her.
Standing on the street with white walls and blue tiles, the two matched each other like a painting.
Lu Huo's eyes were stinging, and the eye sockets were faintly red.
"Lu Huo, Miss Qiao's family seems to have forgotten you and found a new boyfriend." The photo was taken by a netizen and posted, because the two people in the photo are so good-looking that they became popular searches.
Lu Rongrong took back the phone, "I think Grandpa is just too worried. The eldest lady of the Qiao family just played with you and didn't pay attention to you at all. She turned her head and laughed to be with other people."
He looked down at Lu Huo who was lying on the bed, and said with a smile, "I advise you, don't be sentimental."
The young man ignored Lu Rongrong, his face was pale, almost bloodless, his eyes were too dark, and he looked at the ceiling quietly.
He was like an abandoned fish on the verge of death, dazed and desperate.
