We Are Husband and Wife, Full of Passion and Longing

"Embezzling public funds, transferring company projects, infringing on the company's interests."

Ho Xingzhou looked at the father and son and said, "Hundreds of millions. How many years do you think you should be in prison?"

They had designed to frame Qiao Xi, wanting her to be imprisoned.

But unexpectedly, they themselves were about to end up behind bars.

Ho Beiting and Ho Jianjun's faces turned pale, their pupils constricting!

"False, these things are fake!"

Ho Beiting shouted.

Ho Xingzhou's expression remained indifferent, his thin lips spitting out cold words: "The evidence is conclusive. You want to take over the Ho family and start anew!"

"Jin Kai, show them."

"Okay."

Jin Kai looked at them with pity, then tossed the files in front of them.

Ho Beiting grabbed the papers and looked, then slumped in defeat.

Each transaction was recorded, with Ho Jianjun's signature.

It was real!

Ho Jianjun gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with ruthless anger.

"These are all my doing, and have nothing to do with Beiting. Every transaction was signed by me, he had no knowledge!" Ho Jianjun decided to sacrifice himself to protect his son.

He wanted to save his son.

"Dad..."

Ho Beiting stuttered.

With such a large sum, a sentence of at least ten years was inevitable.

"As long as someone can take responsibility," Ho Xingzhou said, as if he had already predicted Ho Jianjun's choice, though he had chosen a fool.

"The police are waiting downstairs. Ho Zong, do you want to go yourself, or shall they come up and take you?" Ho Xingzhou sat at the head of the table, saying this indifferently.

Ho Jianjun's chest hurt as he suppressed his anger and stood up. "I'll go myself."

"Dad!"

Ho Beiting rushed over. "Dad, if we pay back the money, we can reduce the sentence."

Ho Jianjun whispered, "Don't let that 30% of the shares fall into Ho Xingzhou's hands. Otherwise, the Ho family will never rise again."

"As long as we keep the mountain, firewood will never run out."

"Dad, Ho Xingzhou is too vicious!"

Ho Beiting began to fear. Ho Xingzhou's methods were treacherous and unpredictable.

"Remember! The shares!" Ho Jianjun didn't have time to say more before the police came and took him away.

Ho Beiting's face twisted as he leaned against the cold wall, filled with hatred and the desire to kill.

Shares!

He remembered those words clearly and immediately went to the underground parking lot, starting his car and heading to the Ho family estate.

"Young Master..." The butler, A Zhong, was holding a bowl of medicine, hesitant to speak.

Ho Beiting saw the medicine and struggled. "Give it to me, I'll take it to Grandpa."

He needed to get the shares, and the old man had to die.

A Zhong's eyes flickered, and he placed the bowl in front of him. "Then I'll leave it to you, Young Master."

Ho Beiting stared at the bowl of black, bitter medicine, steeling himself.

Don't blame me, Grandpa.

In the Ho Family Conference Room.

After this farce, the shareholders unanimously agreed to remove Ho Beiting and Ho Jianjun from their positions and approved Jin Kai as the new CEO of the Ho family.

They had all witnessed Ho Xingzhou's decisive methods and were convinced.

"Well then, today's meeting is concluded. Please excuse me," Jin Kai stood up, ushering everyone out.

He politely escorted all the shareholders out of the room before turning back to report to Ho Xingzhou: "Ho Zong, I've already called the Ho family estate and warned them."

"Mm."

Ho Xingzhou responded indifferently, "Go familiarize yourself with the Ho family's business."

"Yes."

Jin Kai, who had unexpectedly been struck with a windfall, walked out of the meeting room smiling, even thoughtfully closing the door behind him.

The room was quiet.

Only Qiao Xi and Ho Xingzhou remained.

Qiao Xi turned and curiously asked, "What did you warn them about?"

Ho Xingzhou's hand rested on the back of her chair, and with a gentle pull, the rolling chair slid close to him, bringing them face to face, almost touching.

"I warned him about the white-eyed wolf in the family."

Qiao Xi smiled at these words.

"The white-eyed wolf... You mean Ho Beiting?"

"Mm."

Ho Xingzhou's eyes deepened. "Tonight, there may be big moves."

"Mr. Ho, I feel like you can see everything, like everything is under your control," Qiao Xi admired this man. Perhaps she was just too slow to see it all.

Ho Xingzhou half-closed his eyes, glancing at her.

His long finger gently tapped on the area above her chest.

"I can't see this heart," he said, referring to her.

Qiao Xi quickly wrapped her arms around her chest, her eyes shimmering: "Why are you touching me?"

Ho Xingzhou cleared his throat.

That place, he had touched it before, not just with his hand.

"Mr. Ho, you have feelings for the Ho family, don't you?"

Qiao Xi looked at him intently, speaking. He could have taken down the Ho family, but in the end, he chose to keep it.

Ho Xingzhou's face was noble, and his voice slightly deeper, "The seat you're sitting in used to be mine. I had great faith and admiration for Grandpa, but he grew more wary of me. This place holds traces of my journey. In the future, I will merge the Ho family with the Tianyuan Group, but the Ho family... can forget about taking a share."

That's why he had kicked them all out in advance.

Qiao Xi tilted her head, listening to him. Did he realize that in private, he still referred to Ho Wei Guo as "Grandpa"?

He was a man of deep emotions.

She wanted to help him, to fulfill his wishes.

"Mr. Ho, you're the most outstanding man I've ever seen."

Her bright almond-shaped eyes shone like a clear, bottomless lake, reflecting only his figure.

Ho Xingzhou stood up, his hands resting on the sides of her chair, leaning in to look at her: "Little doctor, how many men have you seen?"

"Quite a few."

Qiao Xi started counting.

From the village, school, and the hospital.

"Just look at me, okay?"

Ho Xingzhou leaned in, his nose almost touching hers.

Qiao Xi fell into his deep, dark eyes, and without thinking, said, "Okay."

The man was pleased.

His lips softly landed on her red ones, whispering as he kissed her ear and neck, "Little doctor, this is your painkiller for today."

Warmth, excitement.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with a watery light.

The sunlight from the large windows bathed her delicate, fair neck as the man kissed her red lips, ear, and neck. Qiao Xi tilted her head slightly and saw the two shadows entwined on the ground, full of passion.

She bit her lip, trying not to make a sound.

It seemed like he really liked kissing her neck.

She couldn't resist either, always wanting to get closer to him.

"Mr. Ho... this will leave a mark," she whispered.

"We are husband and wife."

He ignored her, instead pulling her into his arms, holding the back of her head as he kissed her deeply.

"The... phone's ringing," Qiao Xi's voice faltered.

Lately, there had been many unknown calls.

"I'll answer it for you."

Ho Xingzhou took the phone from her pocket, saw an overseas call without a name, and his eyes flickered.

He slid the screen and answered.

His lips, however, never left her ear, kissing it delicately, with a hint of malice.
