547 Cunhuas Help

Huo Xiaoran shook his head.

Qiao An reached out and touched her face. It was lubricated and painful. Why was it damaged out of the blue?

“An’an.” Huo Xiaoran stuffed the mirror into Ki Ki’s hand, then strode up to Qiao An. He stroked her head gently as if he was comforting a child.

“An’an, don’t be afraid. Your skin is indeed not as fair as before, but it doesn’t affect your beauty at all. There are many people in this world who are naturally dark. And believe me, I will definitely cure your skin.”

Tears welled in Qiao An’s eyes. “Will you despise me?” she choked.

Huo Xiaoran’s voice was so gentle that there was no hardness at all. “Silly, no matter what you become, Hubby will love you. Just like how no matter how narrow-minded and ugly I become, you won’t give up on me.”

Qiao An thought for a moment. Perhaps she was born optimistic and strong. She immediately smiled through her tears. “As long as you don’t despise me, I’m relieved. If I’m dark, so be it.”

Huo Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief.

The children knew that they had misunderstood their father and sneaked out guiltily.

Huo Xiaoran called out to them, “The three of you, come here.”

Ki Ki looked at his daddy in embarrassment.

“Daddy.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

Ki Ki was arrogant and not good at expressing his emotions with words. He just looked at his daddy helplessly with guilt in his eyes.

On the other hand, Angel and Joey were adaptable. They lowered their heads and bowed to Huo Xiaoran. They said in unison, “Daddy, I’m sorry. We misunderstood you.”

Huo Xiaoran walked over and touched the children’s fine hair. He said dotingly, “Daddy loves Mommy. In this life, Daddy won’t be with other women. So don’t worry, you won’t have a stepmother in this life.”

The children grinned.

Huo Xiaoran ordered the bodyguards to throw Xing Xiaoya and Wang Ning out. The bodyguards followed the instructions dutifully and threw Xing Xiaoya and Wang Ning in front of the Wang family at the village entrance to make an example of them.

When the sky turned bright, every family opened their doors and they were about to go to the fields to do farm work. When passersby saw Xing Xiaoya and Wang Ning curled up on the road like stray puppies, they felt that Xing Xiaoya and Wang Ning did look pitiful.

Xing Xiaoya kept asking passersby for help. These people were from the same village. After getting along for a few years, they more or less had some feelings for one another.

Xing Xiaoya had a sweet mouth and kept calling out to uncles and aunties, but those people only looked at her sympathetically. No one helped her.

Xing Xiaoya heard their discussion. “This girl can offend anyone, but she has to offend Xing Chen. She doesn’t have eyesight either. She thought that Xing Chen was as poor as her and as weak as her. Who knew that Xing Chen was actually a big shot? He’s the richest man in the capital. He can get whatever he wants. Now that Xing Chen has taught her a lesson, I hope she’ll remember it in the future.”

Xing Xiaoya looked at these villagers who were adding insult to injury. She did not dare to imagine that overnight, these villagers, who had originally ignored Xing Chen, would suddenly change their tune and point their guns at her.

She was clearly the victim.

Ignoring Father Xing’s life-saving grace, Xing Chen beat her half to death. How could the villagers not condemn him for such ungrateful behavior?

Xing Xiaoya cried and complained, “Aunt Zhang, Aunt Li, you used to dote on me the most in the past. What’s going on today? You watched Xing Chen bully me and didn’t seek justice for me. You even hit me when I was down. Is it wrong for my father to save Xingchen? Xing Chen bullied the daughter of his benefactor! Was he right to do so? Can’t you tell right from wrong? Will your conscience be at ease?”

The women pointed at her face and scolded, “Pfft, don’t think we don’t know that it’s fake that your father saved Xing Chen and it is true that you robbed Xing Chen of his items. I heard that Xing Chen’s ring was a limited edition diamond ring. One costs tens of millions. And the necklace is even more expensive. You and your father went against your conscience and occupied other people’s assets. Is this what you mean by saving his life?”

Xing Xiaoya was used to framing others.

But when she was wronged by others, she would feel aggrieved.

She was anxious to defend herself. “Who said that the ring cost tens of millions? It was clearly only a few million.”

In the eyes of these poor villagers, a few million was also a sky-high price.

Xing Xiaoya had personally admitted to selling Xing Chen’s jewelry, giving them more evidence against her.

They attacked even more fiercely. “A few million is not a small sum, right? Are you so greedy to rob him of a few million for no reason?”

Xing Xiaoya could not defend herself.

Finally, it was Xing Xiaoya’s best friend, Xie Cunhua. She mustered her courage and walked up to Xing Xiaoya. When she saw the half-dead Xing Xiaoya, Xie Cunhua looked at her with pity.

“Did Xing Chen hit you?”

Xing Xiaoya cried aggrievedly and said, “It wasn’t him. He hired a few thugs who beat me up all night.”

Xie Cunhua said, “How could he bear to do it?”

Xie Cunhua was not a blind person. She knew that Xing Chen was kind. Xie Cunhua thought must have misunderstood Xing Xiaoya to have abused Xing Xiaoya like this.

“Xiao Ya, tell me honestly, why did he hit you? Didn’t he treat you quite well in the past?”

Xing Xiaoya cried, “He’s convinced that I set Qiao An on fire. But it wasn’t me, Chun Hua. Believe me, it really wasn’t me.”

Xie Cunhua sighed. “He concluded that you and Wang Ning set fire to Qiao An and killed her. That was too arbitrary.”

Xing Xiaoya said indignantly, “No, Qiao An isn’t dead at all. What right does he have to treat me like this? Qiao An isn’t dead.”

Xie Cunhua’s indignant righteousness surged. She rolled up her sleeves and said angrily, “This Xing Chen is too much. How can he be so indiscriminate? For the sake of Qiao An, he treats morality and righteousness as nothing.”

Then, she promised Xing Xiaoya, “Xiaoya, don’t worry. I’ll definitely help you seek justice.”

Xie Cunhua had conquered a few of her admirers with her beauty. Together, they came to find Xing Chen righteously.

They thought that if they were united, even an iron pestle could be ground into a needle, let alone Xing Chen.

Although XIng Chen had an extraordinary status, they still felt that XIng Chen was a silent and down-to-earth person who was not sharp.

At most, there was an additional stench of money. They did not expect them to lose so badly on this trip.

“Xing Chen, come out.” A few indignant youths arrived at the Xing family and started shouting.

They were wondering if they could stand up for Xing Xiaoya. First of all, they could not lose in terms of aura. They had to show Xing Chen their strength first.

Indeed, there was a show of strength, but it was not them who gave it to Xing Chen, but Xing Chen who gave it to them.
