Qiao Xi lowered her voice and said, "With so many customers present earlier, if we had taken this to the police station, we'd have had to cooperate with them for the investigation and statements. Today's grand opening would've truly been ruined by her."
"Besides… she's just a pawn."
Behind this, Lu Yingxue must have orchestrated something.
Huo Sijiao said irritably, "That's really letting her off easy."
"It's nothing, there will be plenty of chances in the future."
Qiao Xi comforted Huo Sijiao, her gaze falling on Huo Xingzhou. As their eyes met, she saw a faint smile in his eyes.
She couldn't help but smile as well.
Huo Sijiao noticed and decided not to play third wheel. She tactfully said, "I'll go greet the guests. You two talk."
Her steps were light, and she darted away.
Qiao Xi leisurely walked up to Huo Xingzhou and looked up, saying, "You missed the ribbon-cutting."
