Due to issues with the betrothal gift, Qiao Xing's two-year relationship with her boyfriend collapsed overnight. Feeling disheartened, her elderly neighbor insisted his grandson go on a blind d...
Chapter 1009 When will you be a little more mature?
After Qiao Xing returned home, he lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
All she could think about was Qin Ce lying in the hospital bed.
Although Qiao Xing didn't witness Qin Ce's accident last time, she was still terrified when she heard the news.
This time, she saw it for herself.
Seeing Qin Ce lying quietly on the hospital bed, surrounded by various medical instruments.
She didn't know when he would wake up. If the doctor hadn't said that Qin Ce might wake up, Qiao Xing would have thought that Qin Ce might just keep sleeping like that.
Qiao Xing wasn't sleepy at all, but the baby in her belly kept her awake until late at night.
The next day, Qiao Xing, still half asleep, heard noises outside.
This is a house that Qin Ce bought himself, so Qiao Xing isn't worried about safety.
Moreover, the door has a combination lock, so ordinary people can't get in.
Thinking about this, Qiao Xing became even more puzzled. She lost her sleepiness, got out of bed, and walked out of the bedroom.
A sound came from the kitchen. Qiao Xing followed the sound and saw a middle-aged woman busy in the kitchen.
"Who are you?"
Upon hearing Qiao Xing's voice, the woman quickly wiped her hands and walked towards her. "Madam, my surname is Wu. Mr. Qin specially found me to take care of you."
Qiao Xing was surprised that Qin Ce not only bought a house, but also hired a nanny.
She suddenly felt that Qin Ce might have already planned for those events to happen, which was why he arranged all of this.
Qiao Xing felt a pang of bitterness, but still greeted the woman, "Hello, Aunt Wu."
Aunt Wu was flattered and said, "Madam, you're too kind. If you want to eat or cook anything in the future, just tell me and I'll make it."
Qiao Xing smiled and nodded.
Aunt Wu glanced at Qiao Xing's stomach and quickly said to her, "Don't stand there, breakfast will be ready soon. Please wait a moment, I'll bring it to you right away."
Qiao Xing sat in the restaurant, somewhat absent-minded.
She sent Xing Jiu to the hospital yesterday, but he hasn't called her and doesn't know how Qin Ce is doing.
As Qiao Xing pondered this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
She was really too anxious. Xing Jiu left almost at midnight yesterday, and it's only seven or eight o'clock now. It's only been a few hours, what could have happened?
Lost in thought, Aunt Wu had already brought out breakfast.
Although it was simple, it consisted of the same foods that Qiao Xing usually ate.
Just as Qiao Xing was wondering how Aunt Wu knew what she ate every morning so soon after arriving, Aunt Wu smiled and said, "These are all things Mr. Qin instructed me to make. Before I came, Mr. Qin specifically told me your preferences. I wonder how my cooking tastes. Please try it."
Aunt Wu's words stirred up waves of emotion in Qiao Xing's heart once again.
She took a bite of the millet porridge in the bowl, and her eyes inexplicably became moist.
She nodded to Aunt Wu, "It's delicious."
When Aunt Wu saw that her eyes were red, she immediately became nervous. "Oh dear, what's wrong? You're pregnant, you can't be sad."
Qiao Xing shook her head. "Aunt Wu, I'm fine."
Aunt Wu looked at her as if she were her own daughter, "You are too thin. You need to eat more while you are pregnant, otherwise the baby will be difficult to take care of after birth, and you will suffer as well."
Yes, she is fine, taking good care of herself and giving birth to the baby properly.
Although Aunt Wu cared about Qiao Xing, Qiao Xing had little appetite and only ate a little bit for breakfast before he couldn't eat anymore.
She was wondering whether or not to go to the hospital when someone rang the doorbell.
Aunt Wu went to open the door and saw the two people standing there. She looked puzzled and asked, "Who are you...?"
When Yang Han saw Aunt Wu, she thought she had gone to the wrong place. "Isn't this Old Qin's house?"
Qiao Xing was somewhat surprised when she heard Yang Han's voice.
She walked over and saw not only Yang Han, but also Xiao Lin. "What brings you here?"
Seeing that Qiao Xing recognized the two people, Aunt Wu quickly brought over her shoes and welcomed them in.
The two entered the living room, and Yang Han said to Qiao Xing, "We know about Lao Qin's situation. We originally wanted to go to the hospital, but given his current condition, we wouldn't be able to see him there, so we came to see you first."
It was rare for Yang Han to speak so seriously, and Qiao Xing felt a little uncomfortable listening to him.
Xiao Lin looked at Qiao Xing and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you alright?"
Qiao Xing smiled casually, "It's nothing."
Yang Han comforted her, "I've already looked into the situation at the hospital, so don't worry too much. Once Lao Qin wakes up, everything will be fine."
Qiao Xing nodded. "Mm."
Xiao Lin asked, "How could this happen? President Qin isn't the kind of person who acts recklessly. Could someone have done it on purpose?"
Qiao Xing had also thought about this question, and she could roughly guess whether it was intentional or not.
However, since the matter has not been clarified, she cannot draw a conclusion.
Before Qiao Xing could answer Xiao Lin, Yang Han interjected, "Someone must have done this on purpose. Old Qin has weathered so many storms over the years, and no one has ever dared to do something like this to him. If it wasn't intentional, nobody would believe it!"
Xiao Lin frowned at him, "Say less."
Yang Han timidly shut her mouth.
Xiao Lin said to Qiao Xing, "If there's really something wrong, we should investigate it thoroughly. But given your current situation, you can't push yourself too hard. You need to take better care of yourself."
Qiao Xing hummed in agreement, "I know."
"If you need any help, just ask Yang Han and me. We don't plan to go back to Chongqing anytime soon and will stay here."
Yang Han also said, "Yes, call us if anything happens. By the way, if someone really did this to Lao Qin, I will definitely find out and give Lao Qin an explanation!"
Xiao Lin pinched Yang Han's waist without making a sound, making Yang Han cry out in pain.
He looked at Xiao Lin with a pitiful expression, "What are you doing, wife?"
Xiao Lin glared at him, then turned back to continue talking to Qiao Xing, "You should rest well first. We won't bother you anymore. If anything happens, be sure to contact me and Yang Han, okay?"
Qiao Xing nodded gratefully, "Thank you."
"We're all friends, so let's not talk about thanking each other. We'll head back now."
Aunt Wu saw the two of them out.
As soon as Yang Han came out, he asked Xiao Lin, "Wife, why did you pinch me just now? I was just telling the truth. There's something fishy about Lao Qin's situation. His family is unreliable. If we don't help him find out the truth, how can Qiao Xing do it all by himself?"
Xiao Lin gave him a speechless look. "When are you going to grow up a bit?"
Yang Han was bewildered. "What does this have to do with whether I'm mature or not?"
"You know that this was definitely done on purpose, so do you think anyone, whether in Beijing or Chongqing, would be so bold as to do this?"
