When Xia Yanxi heard Huo Changsheng say that Huo Shiyu had been arrested and had confessed, her sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and she sat up from the bed with wide-eyed pupils. She held the phone tightly and said, "Huo Shiyu is the one who killed Gu Yanyan." The murderer?"
She had thought that Huo Shiyu wouldn't be that cruel!
Huo Changsheng said excitedly and angrily on the other end of the phone, "Yes, she has confessed! Yan Xi, you said that I really loved that girl in vain. She killed people at home, and the person she killed was Mr. Lu's woman. Isn't this true? Do you want to make me cornered? If Mr. Lu takes revenge for Gu Yanyan, how will our family survive in Li City in the future?"
Xia Yanxi's delicate eyebrows frowned tightly. She felt that Huo Changsheng was so ruthless and realistic. When something happened to Huo Shiyu, he was not anxious or distressed at all. Instead, he was worried about his own interests. How could there be such a person in the world? ah
When Huo Changsheng saw that Xia Yanxi was silent, he sighed sadly and said, "Yan Xi, my father will only have to rely on you as his daughter from now on. When will you let my father see Young Master Qiao?"
Xia Yanxi pursed her lips. She was so disappointed with Huo Changsheng that she didn't know what to say.
But after all, he was her biological father, so she couldn't be too strict.
"He's been very busy recently and doesn't have time to see you. Let's wait until you're really at your wits' end! I'm tired, so I won't tell you anymore. Goodbye!"
Xia Yanxi hung up the phone before Huo Changsheng said anything.
She put down her phone and sat on the bed for a while. Turning his head and looking at the empty bed beside him, he didn't know where Qiao Yan had left
Although she was a little tired, she lost sleep after Huo Changsheng called her.
Holding the water glass, she was going downstairs to drink a glass of milk.
When passing by the study, she found that the lights were still on inside, and she could still vaguely hear people talking. She stopped, gently opened the door, and looked inside.
Qiao Yanli was still wearing a crisp suit. He was standing in front of the window and talking on the phone.
"I have received the documents. Are you sure there are no errors? Is the data from that paternity testing center reliable?"
His voice was cold and cold, without any warmth. I don't know if it was Xia Yanxi's misunderstanding, but she felt that he exuded a strong sinister aura, which was completely different from when he usually faced her.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
Seeing that he had finished the phone call, Xia Yanxi quickly closed the door, turned around and walked forward. Due to her haste, she kicked the potted plant in the corridor. She frowned and took a breath of air.
Gritting her teeth, she was about to reluctantly leave, when someone opened the study door.
Qiao Yanli walked out and saw Xia Yanxi in the corridor. There was a hint of gloom in his obsidian eyes, and a layer of frost seemed to be scraped off his handsome face.
"Yan Xi!" He called her in a cold voice.
Xia Yanxi slowly turned around and looked at his cold and gloomy face, her pupils narrowed heavily. She didn't know what happened, but he was still fine when he picked her up from the police station? Why did he become so inhumane all of a sudden
His current appearance made her feel very distant.
She couldn't act coquettishly or speak softly in front of him like she usually did.
"Did you just eavesdrop on my phone call?" He frowned slightly, his expression cold and sinister, as if she had done something heinous.
