"Mr. Huo, you want Little Six to forgive you just because of a violin? Did you so easily forget what you've done?" A cold voice sounded, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
When Huo Yuzhou heard this voice, his eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth curled into a meaningful smile. "Xi Xi, they're here too! In that case, this means that you're still unwilling to forgive me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly turned around and said in a calm tone, "Mr. Liang and Mr. Xue, welcome. Sorry for not going out to welcome you."
In Y Nation, everyone might not know Liang Pingchuan, but they would know Xue Liang. All these years, Xue Liang had become famous overseas and held many art exhibitions. He was also known as the youngest capable painter. His works appeared all over the world, and many noble families in Y Nation had collections of his work.
After two seconds of silence, someone exclaimed, "It's Xue Liang!"
Not far away, Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow. Since Xue Liang was here, he naturally did not have to do anything.
Xue Liang went straight to Qiao Xi's side and protected her behind him. He looked at Huo Yuzhou with a cold gaze. "Mr. Huo, I remember that I warned you and Guan Hui not to disturb Xi Xi's life again. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences."
Huo Yuzhou used to have a good relationship with Qiao Xi's brothers. They once said that they would always be good friends and protect Xi Xi. After that, everything changed.
Now that they met again, Huo Yuzhou's attitude was still gentle. "Mr. Xue, I don't have any ill intentions. Giving Xi Xi a violin is just a token of my appreciation."
"Keep your kind intentions for yourself. I made this violin myself. If Xi Xi likes it, I can give her many of such violins. She doesn't have to accept gifts from an outsider for no reason. Moreover, we've already said that we won't see each other again. Don't tell me you think you can reconcile with Xi Xi by giving her a gift?"
After Xue Liang finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Zheng, who was not far away, and sneered. "In my opinion, your kind feelings and intentions are worthless! You want to bribe our Xi Xi with just a violin? Previously, President Gu made Little Six angry and gave her an island! Heh… I didn't think it through. Your ability naturally can't compare to President Gu's. You probably can't afford an island.
"Now that Xi Xi already has President Gu by her side and her husband really dotes on her, do you think you have a chance? You can't even be considered Xi Xi's friend. What right do you have to give her a gift?"
A trace of frustration surged in Huo Yuzhou's heart. Before he came to see Xi Xi, he was clearly mentally prepared to be ridiculed. However, after hearing Xue Liang's words, he could not suppress the emotions in his heart.
He and Xue Liang had known each other for so many years. They had once agreed to be friends for the rest of their lives, but Xue Liang was also speaking up for Gu Zheng now. What was so good about that man? Why was everyone standing on his side?
Even though Huo Yuzhou no longer cared about Xue Liang's opinion, he still could not accept these words.
He forced himself to calm down, and his tone was still gentle. "Mr. Xue, what happened back then is in the past. Why take it to heart? I've let Xi Xi down, and I'm trying my best to make it up to her. I hope you can give me a chance."
Everyone was confused. What exactly was the thing that happened back then?
Xue Liang looked up at him coldly. After a moment of silence, he chuckled. "A chance? Haven't we already given you a chance? If I hadn't let you off on account of Grandpa, do you think you would be where you are today?
"Ever since you did those things, our relationship has already been severed. Isn't it laughable for you to say that you want to make up for it now?"
Huo Yuzhou's gaze darkened as he pursed his lips.
Xue Liang said coldly, "I thought that we wouldn't see each other again and that we would be fine. It's up to you to give Xi Xi a gift, but you want Xi Xi to forgive you just because of a violin? You're really delusional!"
Huo Yuzhou's expression darkened, but he still maintained his composure.
Xue Liang looked at Guan Hui in disgust. "Mr. Huo, it was because of this woman that Xi Xi was sad back then. Are you still going to make things difficult for Xi Xi for her? What's your motive for insisting that Xi Xi accept this gift?"
Huo Yuzhou frowned and asked gently, "What do you mean, Mr. Xue?"
"Don't you understand what I mean? Back then, didn't you set the fire for this woman? Grandpa forgave you on account of our past relationship, but if you set the fire for this woman, why shouldn't we pursue the matter?"
