Chapter 110: Chapter 110: The Truth Behind the Car Accident
Lifetime spokesperson?
Qiao Xi pursed her red lips and continued to watch the video.
The female host complimented, “Miss Xu is quite impressive! Since the foundation’s inception, you’ve been the spokesperson, and you were very young at that time. We are surprised, how did you become the lifetime spokesperson for the Xingyue Foundation?”
Xu Xingluo appeared shy, saying, “Actually, this foundation was established for me.”
“The name ‘Xingyue’ is derived from my name and also the place where I and the secret founder made our commitment to each other. That’s why it’s called the Xingyue Foundation.”
The host exclaimed dramatically, “Wow! How romantic! So, since your special place is Moon Village, is that why you support the villagers there? Can we know who the secret founder is?”
“No, I promised to keep it a secret. However, I can share another little secret with everyone, the National Doctor’s disciple who has recently become very famous is also one of our beneficiaries.”
She gave a sweet smile to the camera.
“Oh my! Then Miss Xu is almost like a benefactor to the National Doctor’s disciple!”
Qiao Xi’s eardrums buzzed, and her fingers tensed.
The things she believed in, the life she was grateful for, had all been a product of Huo Xingzhou and Xu Xingluo’s sweetness.
Without Xu Xingluo, there would be no Xingyue Foundation, nor would there be such a bright and splendid future for her, Qiao Xi, right?

It was her redemption in the first half of her life!
In the dark, it seemed as though something extremely important was collapsing, disillusioning.
Shu Xue was gossiping on the side, “So the Xingyue Foundation was established for Xu Xingluo. The secret founder must really love her. I just have no idea who he is.”
Qiao Xi’s fingers trembled slightly, her palms cold.
She said, “I know who it is.”
Shu Xue suddenly sensed something and quickly changed her tune, “Xu Xingluo is definitely making it up, it’s all for hype!”
Qiao Xi smiled bitterly and shook her head.
“Qiao Xi, Huo Xingzhou is a gentleman! He’d definitely not play two sides, you should call him right now to get things clear!” Shu Xue said frankly, “Once you have clarity, you’ll feel at ease.”
She even snatched Qiao Xi’s phone, closed the video, opened the contacts, and directly dialed Huo Xingzhou’s number.
“Shu Xue, you…” Qiao Xi could not intercept in time.
“Come on, husband and wife should be honest with each other.” Shu Xue, hearing the busy signal on the other end, said with confusion, “Why is it turned off?”
Qiao Xi explained, “I meant to tell you, he’s on a business trip. He’s on a plane right now and can’t answer the call.”
She took back her phone and smiled, saying, “Thank you, I will call him to ask.”
Suddenly.
From the hospital’s entrance there came a shout, the piercing sound of an engine, as a sports car crashed into a roadblock, injuring a few pedestrians. It had its high beams on in broad daylight, speeding towards Qiao Xi.
The woman in the driver’s seat had disheveled hair, looking like a demon from hell, her face grotesque. The car’s speed soared to 180 miles per hour!
“Crazy woman!”
“The car’s out of control, everyone get out of the way! Where’s security?”
“Call the police quickly!”
“Shu Xue!”
Qiao Xi forcefully pushed Shu Xue away.
“Qiao Xi, get out of the way!” Shu Xue fell to the ground, watching as the car sped towards Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi couldn’t keep her eyes open, blinded by the high beams.
Bang!
The roaring explosion rose as the car blew a tire and skidded, narrowly missing Qiao Xi and crashing into the hospital’s flowerbed.
The security guards immediately pulled the woman from the driver’s seat, speaking sternly, “Are you drunk driving? Do you realize this is a hospital?”
“Call the police! This is a severe traffic offense!”
“Qiao Xi!”
The woman with the twisted face screamed, “You won’t die a good death!”
Shu Xue steadied Qiao Xi, her legs weak, and asked with concern, “Are you alright? Isn’t that your stepsister?”
Qiao Xi shook her head and took steps until she stood in front of Su Weiwei, staring into her bloodshot eyes she asked, “Su Weiwei, do you want me dead?”
Su Weiwei was restrained by the security guards, looking utterly disheveled.
She screamed like a madwoman, “It was you who ruined me, ruined the Su Family! You are a jinx, I wish you’d die without a place to be buried!”
“The Su Family went bankrupt, my dad got arrested! My life is neither human nor ghost! Why do you get to live so glamorously!”
She loathed Qiao Xi!
Her happy life had shattered since Qiao Xi appeared.
Qiao Xi watched her spit flying as she spoke calmly, “Su Weiwei, I owe you nothing. You caused an accident and injured someone, prepare to go to jail.”
“I’m not afraid one bit!”
Su Weiwei sneered and howled, “Qiao Xi, I may have lost, but you haven’t won!”
“No one has told you the truth about the car accident back then! Xu Xingluo was sitting in the passenger seat!”
“When the accident happened, Huo Xingzhou went against human instinct, turned the steering wheel the other way to protect Xu Xingluo! He was severely injured, fell into a coma, and became a vegetable, while Xu Xingluo was unscathed!”
“In Huo Xingzhou’s heart, you will never compare to Xu Xingluo! She was his childhood sweetheart, his innocent first love! She’s Haicheng’s famous lady, unmatched in talent and stunning in looks!”
“She’s the one he protected with his life!”
Su Weiwei watched Qiao Xi’s face grow uglier and laughed crazily, “What does it matter if you have the status? He will always have Xu Xingluo in his heart!”
Qiao Xi stood there stunned.
In the early summer season, she suddenly felt a chill on her back.
Her well-constructed mental state crumbled again and again.
“Qiao Xi, are you okay?” Shu Xue took her arm.
Qiao Xi nodded with pursed lips, a sourness and unfounded inferiority bubbling in her heart.
The police arrived quickly, taking both Su Weiwei and Qiao Xi to the police car, cooperating with the investigation. Shu Xue went back to the hospital to ask for leave on behalf of Qiao Xi.
Su Weiwei was detained for causing injuries in an accident.
After finishing her statement, Qiao Xi left the police station, and Zhou Yu was waiting at the entrance.
“Sister-in-law, are you hurt? Don’t worry, I’ll follow this matter to the end,” Zhou Yu opened the car door for her to get in.
Qiao Xi sat in the backseat, heavy-hearted.
“Sister-in-law, when Xingzhou left, he specifically told me to take good care of you,” Zhou Yu glanced at her through the rearview mirror, “Let me arrange for two more bodyguards for you.”
“Zhou Yu.”
Qiao Xi’s voice was slightly hoarse, “I want to ask you something.”
Zhou Yu’s heart skipped a beat, guessing what she wanted to ask. He had heard about what happened at the hospital entrance.
“Sister-in-law, go ahead.”
“Xu Xingluo and Mr. Huo… were they very close before?” Asking others wouldn’t be as good as asking Zhou Yu. He was Huo Xingzhou’s good brother.
Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, then explained, “Actually, Xingzhou wouldn’t discuss such private matters with me. But it was obvious to anyone looking that Xu Xingluo was the Huo Family’s choice for a daughter-in-law. If that accident hadn’t happened…”
“They would have gotten engaged?” Qiao Xi said calmly.
“Sister-in-law, please don’t get the wrong idea. He never publicly admitted to liking Xu Xingluo, yet he did so much for you!” Zhou Yu hastily explained.
“Still, Xu Xingluo loves to play little tricks and act coquettishly, it’s normal that you can’t compete with her,” Zhou Yu said, “Sister-in-law, in a couple of days, I will sort out some nice things for you.”
The car slowly arrived at the Huo Family’s small villa.
Qiao Xi bid farewell to Zhou Yu, standing at the door, unable to calm her emotions for a long time.
If Mr. Huo was willing to risk his life for Xu Xingluo, didn’t that count as love? Xingyue Foundation, the car accident, which of these didn’t represent a profound love?
The cell phone she held tightly in her hand suddenly vibrated.
The screen lit up, displaying “Husband calling”.
