Bab 10: Chapter 10 She is the Lucky Star, His Lucky Star

```

Wang Fengxian covered her mouth and laughed, "Turn the volume up to the max so that everyone can hear clearly!"

Huo Beiting pressed the volume button to turn it up to the loudest, and then placed the phone in front of Huo Xingzhou.

"Huo Family scion, our Sun Family is willing to relocate our ancestral home to make space for your Future City project," Mr. Sun's hearty voice boomed throughout the living room.

A smug look spread across Huo Beiting's face as he arrogantly watched the second branch of the family.

"Mr. Sun, thank you for agreeing to do this for my sake, giving up..."

"Young Master, don't get me wrong! I agreed to this out of respect for the Huo Family's second branch. Please pass on my message to Young Master Zhou Yu; I'll treat him and his wife to a meal when I'm free."

Mr. Sun was busy and hung up the phone without further conversation.

Huo Beiting's expression froze and twisted. The main branch of the family was furious, never having anticipated the Sun Family would honor Huo Xingzhou!

"Wow, that's some thick skin!" Huo Sijiao mocked, "Cousin, just how much is your face worth?"

"Jiaojiao, watch your language!" Du Juan feigned anger as she pretended to scold her daughter, but inside she felt exhilarated.

Mr. Sun's words felt like a loud slap across the faces of the main branch. Each one of them sported a discolored face as if a palette of spices had been overturned.

Huo Xingzhou gripped Qiao Xi's wrist, his voice cool as he said, "Thanks to my cousin for finding Doctor Zhuo to treat my legs, the project is yours. Grandfather, we'll be taking our leave..."

"Dad, we'll come to see you another time."

The second branch of the Huo Family left quickly, with the Huo Family patriarch feeling angry and disappointed by their lack of ambition, so much so he went back to his room without eating dinner.

The once lively living room suddenly fell silent, eerily so.

Huo Beiting's face turned iron blue as he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll call Sun Weimeng right now and see what the hell is going on. An upstart dares to play me for a fool!"

Once on the call, Young Master Sun lavishly praised Qiao Xi and even said Huo Xingzhou was lucky to have married such a good wife. Huo Beiting's fingers turned white with rage, and he hung up.

Wang Fengxian grew anxious, "That country woman, she has that kind of ability?"

Huo Beiting sneered coldly, "It's just a coincidence. She's a medical student who didn't graduate from Haicheng University, if she didn't even know first aid, that would be the real idiocy! Mother, did you really think she was a disciple of Cheng Han everywhere?"

Wang Fengxian was reassured and sat down. Sitting next to her, Huo Jianjun spoke up, "Without the project, the second branch won't be able to compete with you for the inheritance. I believe the old man's intention is to announce at his 70th birthday banquet that the Huo Family will be handed over to our main branch."

"Really?" Huo Beiting was ecstatic, "Even if he doesn't announce it, Huo Xingzhou won't live long! Doctor Zhuo is like a sharp knife that can kill without trace."

Father and son exchanged a look and smiled, their eyes full of malicious schemes.

...

In the evening, at the small villa of the Huo Family.

When the people of the second branch arrived home, their faces broke into simultaneous laughter.

With a light smile, Du Juan said, "We lost the project this time, but there is hope for Xingzhou's legs. As long as our family is healthy and safe, that's better than anything. I've already made arrangements with Doctor Zhuo."

"Yeah, we don't have to compete for the inheritance anymore; health is what's most important!" Huo Jiancheng had always been indifferent and uninterested in business, "Xingzhou, why did Young Master Sun move the ancestral home out of respect for you?"

Huo Xingzhou turned to look at Qiao Xi, his Adam's apple bobbing, "That day when we were out, Qiao Xi accidentally saved the fainting Young Master Sun."

"So that's how it is. I heard from your mother that Qiao Xi was a medical student at Haicheng University; I never thought it was true." Huo Jiancheng nodded, understanding clearly.

It was normal for Qiao Xi, a medical student, to have some first aid skills. The second branch didn't doubt that a young woman in her early twenties could have any significant abilities.

With pride, Du Juan said, "Aunt Qian praised your massage technique. Those herbal remedies you use to regulate Xingzhou's health, you really are good to him."

"Sister-in-law, you're quite amazing!" Huo Sijiao praised generously, holding onto her hand.

Qiao Xi managed a strained smile, deliberately avoiding Huo Xingzhou's gaze, "I just got lucky."

Huo Xingzhou watched her with a smile in his eyes, she was his lucky star, his very own lucky star.

A surge of tender feelings seemed to rise from the depths of his gaze, knowing she was obstinate, he realized he needed to find an opportunity...

"Come on, tonight I want to sleep with sister-in-law!"

```

Huo Sijiao grabbed Qiao Xi and ran upstairs, "Everyone else has a sister, and all I'm stuck with is a brother with a bad temper!"

Huo Xingzhou stretched out his hand to stop them, but caught nothing; he only smelled a faint medicinal fragrance near the tip of his nose.

Seeing this, Du Juan and Huo Jiancheng laughed out loud.

"Who knows who wanted a divorce as soon as they woke up..." Du Juan teased, "Anyway, your leg has a chance, and your father and I should move back to our place, giving you two some private space."

Huo Xingzhou helplessly explained, "Mother, it's not what you think." He felt it was necessary to make things clear; he and Qiao Xi needed trust.

As Du Juan was about to tease more, Aunt Qian appeared upon hearing the noise and timely rescued Huo Xingzhou.

"Young Master, Zhou Yu is here. He's been in the study waiting for quite a while."

"I'll go up now."

Maneuvering his wheelchair, Huo Xingzhou left the living room and headed up using the indoor elevator. Du Juan sighed with emotion, "Our family has married a good daughter-in-law."

Aunt Qian joined in, "I see them as a perfect match! The Young Madam is even prettier than that Xu Family..."

"Don't mention that bitch again!" Du Juan immediately felt a headache at the mention of that surname.

"Yes."

Aunt Qian silently swallowed the rest of her sentence; their Young Madam was even prettier!

In the study.

Zhou Yu idly flipped through stacks of documents, looking up at the sound of the door opening and saying, "I was almost falling asleep waiting. Has that project really been handed over to Huo Beiting?"

Huo Xingzhou gently closed the door, his long fingers shadowed pale white in the light.

"If we don't give it to him, how can we let him feel smug?"

To cause a person's downfall, first let him swell with arrogance.

Zhou Yu propped up his legs and chuckled, "I believe it won't be long before the elder branch starts to cry. That project is a minefield, and you couldn't wait to get rid of it. This way, Tianyuan Group can harvest a penalty fee."

He raised his thumb in admiration, "Huo Xingzhou, you're ruthless! I like it!"

Huo Xingzhou lowered his head, his profile flickering in and out of the shadows, "I haven't forgotten about the car accident." If it weren't for Qiao Xi, he would have lost the use of his legs forever.

Decadent, fallen, frantic, and out of control.

Zhou Yu leaned in close, speaking sleazily, "So, how do you plan to repay Qiao Xi's kindness? You can't reciprocate with your body just yet."

Huo Xingzhou glanced at him coldly, "Is your brain only filled with dirty rubbish?"

"The rumor outside is that the car accident left you infertile. Is it true? Do you have feelings for your wife?"

Listening to his nonsense, Huo Xingzhou's handsome face turned colder.

Zhou Yu, seeing his dark expression, thought he had hit a sore spot and quickly slapped his mouth, changing the subject, "With Qiao Xi beside you, won't the elder branch find out about her identity?"

"No."

Huo Xingzhou said indifferently, "The elder branch is arrogant and self-centered. Zhuo Feng is their spy; who would suspect that Cheng Han took Qiao Xi as his student?"

The way he said that seemed almost boastful.

"But her connection with the Sun Family..." At this point, Zhou Yu suddenly remembered how tricky Huo Xingzhou's leg injury had been, with none of the experts or academicians able to treat it. Who would believe it?

"She's studying medicine, what's wrong with saving a few people? I'll protect her identity; you must keep this a secret too."

Zhou Yu nodded; it's always darkest under the lamp.

He had doubted the investigation report he saw at first, going back to check it several times, worried about a mistake.

"Even uncle and aunt can't know? How long do you plan to keep it from them?"

Huo Xingzhou stroked his sleeve and said, "Until I can stand on my own feet."
