Xiao Luo was stunned and looked in the direction of the voice.
After hearing this voice, Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang's faces also tightened, and they turned to look at the speaker.
The voice came from the door, which made them feel inexplicably familiar.
Lu Xia had left, but she didn't completely leave Xiao Family.
Instead, she watched the surveillance video of Xiao Family in the hotel next door.
It was not easy to watch the live broadcast of the Xiao Family's mansion in the hotel. In a place like the Xiao Family, it was not easy for anyone to press the CCTV equipment if they wanted to.
She kept puffing smoke, and the room was full of smoke.
George passed by her. Seeing that she smoked another cigarette, he said in time, "Chairman Lu, take care of yourself."
Lu Xia just paused slightly. Then she shook her head with self-mockery and lit the cigarette in her hand.
The cigarette butt flashed with fiery red light. Lu Xia stared at the screen of the surveillance video.
But George was very worried about her smoking. "Chairman Lu, this is the sixth cigarette. The doctor said that you can't smoke too much."
"I know it."
Lu Xia would smoke when she was in a bad mood. Smoking, like drinking, could numb people's nerves and ease the pain.
But it seemed a little stupid to rely on these two kinds of consumer goods to ease the pain.
She just looked at the scene on the screen and let the smell of the cigarette enter her lungs. It made her feel a little numb pain faintly.
"It has been seventeen years, but I still remember clearly what happened seventeen years ago."
George said nothing.
Lu Xia looked at the teenager who was talked about in the surveillance video with a complicated look. She recalled, "At that time, Childe Zhengchen was also pointed at like this."
Her consciousness drifted away bit by bit. It seemed that she was going to recall the situation more than ten years ago.
At this time, the cigarette in her hand was taken away by someone.
She immediately came to her senses and glared at the person who took away the cigarette in her hand. "George, what are you doing?!"
The white assistant had slender fingers and deep facial features.
When being glared at like this, he just calmly pressed the cigarette into the crystal ashtray next to him. Then he leaned over and pressed Lu Xia's shoulder. He gently guided her to look at the monitor screen. "Chairman Lu, look."
Lu Xia followed his gaze and looked over.
She heard George said, "Things have changed."
As soon as the words came out, Lu Xia immediately stared at the screen with her eyes wide open.
"This is …"
On the screen, the crowd gathered under the spiral staircase of the Xiao Family's mansion like a tide.
However, at this moment, the crowd automatically opened a path in the middle.
At the end of the road, a young girl with shoulder-length hair and a disposable surgical mask could be vaguely seen.
The girl was wearing casual clothes. A snow-white down jacket wrapped around her slender figure, short skirt, short boots, and a coffee-colored scarf. She looked like she had just come out of the cold winter wind.
And it was precisely this girl who dressed in a different style from everyone else that became the most eye-catching person at this moment.
She pressed the scarf covering her chin, raised her eyes, and looked at Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang on the stairs, "Only I can prove what the two uncles did!"
Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang looked at her in shock. "Huo …"
"I'm Huo Jiaying."
Before Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang called out her name, she told them her name.
Everyone was confused.
Xiao Liang suddenly said, "No, you are Huo Jiahui!"
Huo Jiaying's eyes were shining, and she said word by word, "I am Huo Jiaying."
Xiao Yu also shouted angrily, "It's impossible. Huo Jiahui and Huo Jiaying had a car accident. Huo Jiahui's face was ruined, and Huo Jiaying's ribs were broken. The real Huo Jiaying couldn't get up from the hospital bed. You are simply a fake who pretends to be your sister!"
Huo Jiaying sneered, "Uncle Yu, you really care about us. Half of the people in Harbor City know that we had a car accident, but no one knows what we were injured and where we were injured except for my family, the doctor, and the murderer."
Her words were light, but the meaning of her words led everyone present to understand what she implied in an instant.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang did not expect that the Huo Family would come at this time.
The two looked down the stairs blankly.
Xiao Luo stared at Huo Jiaying's eyes tightly.
Not far away, Song Yunxuan's face was dignified.
The mobile phone in her handbag vibrated slightly.
She stepped back a few steps and found a place where there was no one. Then she saw that it was a missed call.
And the one on the phone was from Chyna Hospital.
It was the ward landline number of the hospital where Huo Jiahui and Huo Jiaying received treatment.
She pondered for a moment and chose to ignore the call.
At the scene of the dinner party, Huo Jiaying slowly took off her mask. "Uncles, you are really cruel and merciless. It was you who asked my mother and me to kill Grandpa Xiao. Now you are afraid that we will tell the truth, and you even want to kill us."
Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang's faces were livid.
Xiao Yu had no idea how to prove his innocence.
But Xiao Liang questioned Huo Jiaying coldly, "Huo Jiahui, who instigated you to frame us?"
Huo Jiaying's long hair covered her face, but there were scars on her cheeks, which could be vaguely seen by the guests.
She stood at the foot of the stairs and looked up at Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang. There was no look of fear on her face.
She didn't panic at all. Her eyes were full of remorse for being used and silenced, "Why do the two uncles insist that I'm Jia Hui?"
"Because the real Huo Jiaying is lying in the hospital now."
"The one lying in the hospital is Huo Jiahui."
Huo Jiaying touched her face. "My sister's temper is different from mine. She is in the entertainment circle. If her face is disfigured, she will not run around like me. She will only hide in the hospital with a mirror, lose her temper, and cry all day long."
People who knew Huo Jiahui's character knew that indeed, Huo Jiahui valued her face most.
The guests present were all silent.
Xiao Liang did not admit defeat. "There is no proof. Unless I go to the hospital to personally prove it to the other Huo Jiaying, I will believe you, and everyone will believe you."
Huo Jiaying's face was slightly cold, and soon she smiled. "You will want to see my mother after seeing my sister. Who knows if you will hurt us when I expose the scandal? Why should I let you see my sister? "
Xiao Liang seemed to see the hope of turning over. He immediately insisted. "She is not Huo Jiaying. The real Huo Jiaying is in the hospital. Although I don't know why you want to frame me and my second brother, the truth will be revealed after seeing the real Huo Jiaying."
Xiao Yu also spoke. He pointed at Huo Jiaying and said fiercely, "You frame us like this today. I will sue you for slander and put you in jail."
After that, he did not care that it was the dinner party. He called Xiao Liang. "A Liang, let's go to the hospital to find Huo Jiaying."
Huo Jiahui moved and wanted to stop them.
However, the moment he moved, he stopped in his tracks.
A man with a straight figure stood at the door before Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang went out.
Seeing the two of them storming out, he suddenly smiled, "Are you two uncles going to visit my little sister?"
Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang called his name at the same time. "Huo Ting."
Xiao Yu gritted his teeth. He felt that it was not good for Huo Ting to appear at this time. He pushed him away and wanted to go out.
Huo Ting slowly turned sideways. "Jiaying came to confess to everyone because she felt sorry that Little Childe Xiao was killed. But you doubted her identity and went to the hospital to seek proof."
"Huo Ting, even if there is a grudge between our Xiao Family and your Huo Family, you help this guy to frame us today. It may not guarantee that your Huo Family will have a good result when he is in charge of the Xiao Family in the future."
Huo Ting was scolded by Xiao Yu's angry words. He laughed. "You'd better stay here. Jiahui is in a bad mood now. She will not see you even if you go there."
"Since she can't even prove her identity, we will investigate the matter of slander."
After that, Xiao Liang reached out to the bodyguard beside him. "Give me the mobile phone. I will call the police."
Xiao Family was one of the most prestigious families in Harbor City. In front of so many guests, they made him bear the blame of murdering his biological father. If they couldn't get rid of this crime today, how could they get out of the stage?
Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang's meaning was very clear.
Huo Ting also reached out to the assistant beside him. "Give me the mobile phone. Our Huo Family can't afford such a big crime as slander. Since you have to see my sister, why don't we make a video call? Jiahui doesn't see others, but she wants to see me, her brother."
Hearing these words, Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang subconsciously froze the action of dialing the phone to call the police.
Huo Ting pressed the button of the mobile phone to dial the phone and asked Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang, "It doesn't matter if you want to call the police. I think the police will give us an explanation, including the inexplicable car accident that happened to my sister."
Speaking of the word "car accident", Huo Jiaying couldn't help but clench her fingers.
However, during the conversation, the mobile phone as big as a tablet computer had been connected to Huo Jiahui who was in the hospital.
Before seeing Huo Jiahui's appearance from the video, a loud bang was heard.
The picture shook for a while, and what appeared in the picture was the porcelain bowl fragments splashing on the floor.
Huo Ting's voice sank a few degrees. He asked the person who answered the phone, "What's the matter?"
"Miss Jiahui is still angry."
"Let her answer the phone. I have something to say to her."
The maid answered, "Yes, young master."
Then, the maid's careful voice came from the phone. "Miss Jiahui, young master is on the phone."
Huo Jiahui took over the phone and roared at the people in the ward, "Get out, all of you!!!"
Hearing Huo Jiahui's scolding, Huo Jiaying at the scene of the dinner unconsciously wrinkled her eyebrows. She spat out a few words from her lips. "So uneducated."
These four words were said very lightly. If it wasn't the people around her, they wouldn't hear it at all.
The phone was handed to Huo Jiahui. Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang's eyes were filled with hostility.
Huo Ting pressed the hands-free function of the mobile phone, and Huo Jiahui's face appeared on the screen.
Huo Jiahui's face was pale. She covered her forehead with one hand and tried to calm herself down. "Brother, this is Jiahui. What's the matter?"
A short sentence made everyone present quiet.
