Qiao Xi grew up in the countryside
Her father passed away, and her mother remarried
As an adult, her heartless mother brought her back to the city to marry in place of her stepsister
Chapter 703 I owe him this
Lu Yingxue said seriously, "Yes. Even if I cry and scream, I will break in. If I can't do it, I will bring in all the major media to put pressure on them."
She wants to see Zhong Yi!
Only then can we determine what the Lu family should do next.
"Um."
Lu Bannong took a sip of the bitter strong tea and suddenly asked, "Have you seen your aunt and Mingzhu recently?"
Lu Yingxue shook her head. "I haven't seen him, but I heard Xiang Mingzhu has some mental issues. She's currently receiving treatment, and Dr. Xia Yongan is the lead doctor. His sister is Xia Sisi, the popular and innocent young actress in the entertainment industry. Xia Sisi has recently been approached about being the spokesperson for Tianyuan Group."
She is still very concerned about Xiang Mingzhu's movements.
"Xia Yongan and Huo Xingzhou seem to be friends, so Xia Sisi probably got the endorsement through this relationship."
Lu Bannong put down his teacup and said, "These unknown people are nothing to be afraid of. You need to keep an eye on your aunt; she knows the secret."
"Father, Cheng Han is dead. Auntie has some common sense and probably won't bring up the past again. There's no evidence now."
The Lu family, father and daughter, should rest easy now.
Thinking of this, Lu Yingxue couldn't help but touch her cheek.
That little bitch, after teasing me for a while, she still refused to take out the Jade Muscle Cream!
If you keep dragging it on like this, the wound on your face will really leave a scar!
Lu Bannong said, "She's a hidden danger every day she's in the capital. Only when she leaves can we truly feel at ease."
"She'll only leave if Xiang Mingzhu is cured. It's a psychological illness, so it's not that easy to treat. Domestic research in this area isn't very thorough, and we're not as good as foreign experts."
Lu Bannong sneered, "Then find her a few well-known foreign experts and have them leave quickly."
"yes."
Lu Yingxue responded with a heavy heart.
…
the next day.
The morning light is dim and the chill is biting.
But the heating in the villa was still on and the temperature was just right.
Qiao Xi opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling in a daze. After a while, she reached out and touched the quilt beside her.
It's still cold.
It seemed that Huo Xingzhou did not return to his room all night.
She took a shower last night and didn't even eat dinner before lying down on the bed.
I slept for a few hours in a daze, but my dreams were full of strange things and I didn't sleep well.
When I woke up, I was still tired.
The phone on the bedside table began to vibrate.
Qiao Xi sat up and picked up the phone and answered it.
"Hello."
As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse, as if his throat had been rubbed by gravel.
My throat hurts a little.
"Miss Qiao."
The person who called was Wan Jiang.
He stayed awake all night in the ward. Although the doctor said he was no longer in danger of death, it would still be dangerous if Young Master Zhong developed a fever.
It causes great harm to the body.
"Miss Qiao, are you up?" Wan Jiang asked cautiously.
He felt a little embarrassed for disturbing Qiao Xi again and again.
Qiao Xi rubbed her swollen temples and said softly, "Wan Jiang, just tell me what you have to say."
"Miss Qiao, I... I have a favor to ask of you. I've thought about it, and you might be the best person to do it for me," Wan Jiang said shamelessly, "The doctor said last night that Master Zhong's health is weak, and if he doesn't take good care of himself this time, his lifespan will be shortened.
So, Miss Qiao, can you take charge of our young master's medicinal diet?"
Wan Jiang was afraid she would refuse, so he quickly said, "Just treat our young master, Zhong, as an ordinary patient you see. We'll double the amount of herbs and money you ask for. Is that okay?"
Qiao Xi is quite tolerant towards patients, and Wan Jiang also knows her character.
Qiao Xi's eyelashes flickered as she asked, "Is he awake?"
"Not yet. The doctor said he might not wake up until noon."
Qiao Xi bit her lip lightly, and finally said, "I'll go over at noon and bring some light medicinal food. You don't have to prepare anything else."
There were still some things she hadn't asked clearly, and she needed to ask Zhong Yi in detail.
Wan Jiang was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Thank you, Miss Qiao. I thank you on behalf of Mr. Zhong."
"You don't need to thank him on his behalf. I owe him."
I owe him so much, so much that I can't even pay him back. But I used to think that his death would be a regret for my whole life.
As long as we are alive, there will always be a day when we will pay it back.
Qiao Xi hung up the phone, patted her cheeks with her cold hands to wake herself up for a while, then got up to wash up.
Perhaps because she had a lot of things in her heart, she ignored the fatigue and heaviness in her body.
When going downstairs.
She looked around but didn't see Huo Xingzhou. Only Huo Sijiao was sitting in the living room playing with her phone.
As soon as he heard her movement, he stood up and greeted her: "Sister-in-law, what do you want to eat? There is everything in the kitchen. Xiaoyuan is frying meatballs."
"I'll just eat whatever I want."
Qiao Xi's face turned pale as she asked, "Where did they all go?"
Huo Sijiao knew what she was thinking and said mischievously, "Sun Weimeng went to pursue his goddess, Lao Chen went out, and Zhou Yu went shopping and said he wanted to buy something for Sister Shu and send it to her."
Everyone mentioned it, but they deliberately didn't mention what Huo Xingzhou did.
Qiao Xi said with an uneasy expression: "What about your brother?"
Huo Sijiao laughed out loud: "Last night's banquet was not very successful. My brother went out with the gifts. He must have gone to the homes of some elders to apologize, so he probably won't be back for a while. Sister-in-law, do you miss him already?"
"without."
Qiao Xi rolled up her sleeves slightly and walked towards the kitchen.
Huo Sijiao followed her and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you going to do? Are you going to cook for my brother yourself? The medicinal meals he made a while ago were really delicious. My brother's health has completely recovered. I'm just not sure if there are any scars on his abdomen, but it doesn't matter if a man has scars."
After Huo Xingzhou was stabbed by Qian Shao, Qiao Xi nursed him back to health for a few days.
He was in good health and started working quickly. During this period, he was also busy with the affairs of the Cheng family father and daughter.
Qiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was fine.
When she thought about it carefully, she realized that they had not been intimate for a long time.
"With the Jade Muscle Cream, he won't be left with scars."
Huo Sijiao said softly, "That's not necessarily true. My brother doesn't seem like the type to apply the ointment obediently. He needs my sister-in-law's supervision. Some people want the Jade Muscle Cream but can't even get it. My brother doesn't know how to appreciate what he has."
Qiao Xi took out a sealed jar from a row of cabinets and grabbed a handful of astragalus.
Huo Sijiao asked curiously, "What is sister-in-law going to do?"
"Skullcap baicalensis chicken soup replenishes qi, clears heat and dries dampness."
She put a handful of astragalus into a small casserole and added water to boil it.
Then he took a freshly delivered local chicken, cut it into pieces and put it into a large stew pot.
Huo Sijiao followed her and watched her busy.
Suddenly asked: "Sister-in-law, are you and my brother having a quarrel?"
