Chapter 90: Chapter 90 Only One of Her and Qiao Xi Can Live
Huo Xingzhou’s voice was almost hoarse as he asked, “How will you help me?”
With her body?
Qiao Xi could feel the pressure from this man; she gently pushed his body away and said, “Please let go of me first.”
Huo Xingzhou’s hand still tightly clutched her slender waist, like an iron hoop.
As if afraid she would run away.
“If I let you go, then you’ll leave,” he said blandly.
...
“I won’t!” Qiao Xi’s face burned red, “Why would I be that kind of person?”
“Qiao Xi, you know what drug I’ve been given, and what I need most right now,” he said seriously, his eyes filled with suggestion.
It was hard for Qiao Xi to pretend she didn’t understand.
She spoke with difficulty, “I know, I will help you. But please, release my hand first.”
Huo Xingzhou slowly released his grip, as if he believed her.
Qiao Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief; she took the opportunity to roll out of the large bed and pulled a medicine box out from underneath it.
As the box opened, a row of Golden Needles with a cold gleam was revealed.
“With the purging method, we can expel the heat toxin,” she said earnestly, holding a Golden Needle between her fingers.
Huo Xingzhou closed his eyes slightly, as if resigned, and said, “Okay.”
Qiao Xi took off his jacket, undid the buttons on his shirt, located the acupuncture points, and inserted the needle.
Such aphrodisiac drugs could be resolved by being dispersed.
One needle, and then another.
She asked, “Mr. Huo, how do you feel now?”
Huo Xingzhou slowly opened his eyes, tilted his head to look at her, and asked, “If you didn’t know Acupuncture Technique, what were you planning to do to save me?”
His gaze was scorching.
Qiao Xi nervously swallowed.
“I… I would have taken you to the hospital,” she said.
“Oh, to the hospital, huh.” Huo Xingzhou’s lips suddenly quirked up slightly, “Going to the hospital for such a matter is very embarrassing.”
“Hospitals will protect the privacy of the patient,” Qiao Xi explained weakly.
“But those who spy on me don’t care about any privacy.”
Huo Xingzhou pressed on relentlessly.
Qiao Xi’s eyes darted away, falling on the torn open package of “Wife’s Joy” on the bed. She recognized it as the box brought back from the countryside. She hadn’t expected Mr. Huo to still have it; what… what was he intending to do just now?
Qiao Xi said with a dry mouth, “None of what Mr. Huo said holds up. I have medical skills and I can perform acupuncture.”
Huo Xingzhou, with his shirt open, watched her with a smile that was not quite a smile.
It was impossible to pry a single word out of her.
“Mr. Huo… Mr. Huo, if there’s nothing else, I will go back to my room to rest,” she stuttered.
After finishing her sentence, Qiao Xi fled in a panic.
Huo Xingzhou watched her retreating back with a deep and intense gaze.
…
That night.

The Su Family was in an uproar.
Su Heng pointed at Su Weiwei’s nose, cursing loudly: “Have you no shame? What exactly happened tonight, explain yourself!”
He, Su Heng, had never been so humiliated.
How he was supposed to hold his head high in Haicheng from now on, he could just imagine what people would say behind the Su Family’s back.
Zhao Yuzhen sat to one side, her face cold as she soothed the illegitimate child in her arms, her lips curved with mockery.
Watching father and daughter get what they deserved, this was karma.
Su Weiwei cried even harder, sobbing, “I had someone buy that kind of medicine, intending to put it into the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish for Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi. I wanted to cook the raw rice into cooked rice with Huo Xingzhou in front of everyone, and I wanted to shame that bumpkin to no end!”
“But… but I never imagined that Mo Jiajun would find out. I don’t know what method he used to drug me.”
She covered her face, weeping with deep sorrow.
“I didn’t do it willingly! Dad, please help me, teach me what to do!”
Her life was ruined.
All ruined by that village girl.
Su Heng suppressed his rage, his face ghastly pale: “Didn’t I warn you not to set your sights on Huo Xingzhou! He’s not someone we can afford to provoke.”
“I can’t accept this! That man was supposed to be mine; it’s all Qiao Xi who took everything away from me!”
Su Weiwei still felt that it was Qiao Xi who owed her.
Su Heng slapped her across the face, “Can you come to your senses, please?”
Su Weiwei was struck to the ground.
She lay there sobbing and wailing miserably.
“You…” Su Heng vented for a while before saying, “The best solution now is for you to marry Mo Jiajun, uniting the two families.”
He still hoped to recoup some of the losses.
“I won’t! I refuse to marry him!”
“Su Weiwei, can’t you see? Now’s not the time for you to choose, but whether Mo Jiajun will have you!” Su Heng’s head throbbed with rage at the thought of Mo Jiajun publicly declaring his disinterest in marrying her.
That rake, how dare he be so picky!
Su Heng steadied himself on a chair, gasping for breath.
Zhao Yuzhen had enough of the spectacle and, holding her illegitimate child, moved next to Su Heng, “Husband, look how well-behaved Fengfeng is.”
The child in her arms slept sweetly, also inheriting the mother’s beauty, pure and clean.
“Husband, Weiwei didn’t do it on purpose. If all else fails, we could send her abroad, and in a couple of years, when the dust settles, no one will mention it again.” Zhao Yuzhen originally held great affection for Su Weiwei, but what she had done was too hurtful.
Now, she just wanted to send Su Weiwei away. The illegitimate child was still young and could be brought up to see her as his real mother.
If she were to become pregnant later on, she would find an opportunity to deal with the illegitimate child. If she didn’t get pregnant, she would keep him and foster the mother-son relationship.
Then, in the future, everything in the Su family would still belong to her.
She had the patience to wait!
Su Heng looked at his precious son and felt much of his anger dissipate.
The Su family still had a son!
He was still in the prime of life; another two or three decades, and his son would grow up ready to take over the family business.
He looked at Zhao Yuzhen with contentment and said, “You’re absolutely right.”
Su Weiwei watched them with a face full of hatred and despair, “Dad, are you really going to send me abroad? This bitch Zhao Yuzhen just wants to get rid of me with her bastard child!”
“Su Weiwei, watch your language! She is your stepmother, and this is your brother!”
Su Heng made his final decision, “If Mo Jiajun is willing to acknowledge the marriage, then you’ll marry him. If he’s unwilling, then you’re going straight abroad!”
Having said that, he went upstairs, hugging Zhao Yuzhen and the illegitimate child, not wanting to spare another glance at Su Weiwei.
Su Weiwei lay on the ground, breaking down in tears.
How did she end up in such a sorry state!
Not long ago, she was the glorified fiancée of the Huo family’s young master, coveted by many!
Before that, before Qiao Xi came along, she was the treasured pearl of the Su family, the center of attention wherever she went.
It was all because of that jinx!
Qiao Xi was her nemesis, her disaster!
They were fated to be mortal enemies, only one could live!
Su Weiwei’s eyes were bloodshot with hatred, all directed toward Qiao Xi as she laughed almost maniacally.
Suddenly.
Her phone buzzed several times with the sound of a text message.
Su Weiwei looked at the message content.
Her hands trembled instantly, her complexion turned ashen as if she were made of paper.
