Chapter 28 Xia Yiqing’s childish voice…
Xia Yiqing's voice was so quiet that it seemed to echo on the ground. Unconsciously, everyone's eyes gradually focused on her.
"What evidence do you have? It's just that someone wanted to kidnap you and happened to kidnap you.
"After all, you're related to Third Master Qi, and that alone is enough to offend a lot of people. Dad's old and can't stand this kind of hardship. If the funds Qi gave to Xia's disappear, you, Xia Yiqing, can't bear the responsibility!"
"Why do I have to bear this responsibility?" Xia Yiqing lifted her hair and tilted her head to the side. She was both beautiful and evil, but her almond-shaped eyes revealed the utmost innocence and insight.
"Oh, the shareholders have sharp eyes. I don't need to explain who brought the Xia family to this point of despair."
Father Xia's face suddenly turned green and red, as if green and red peppers were mixed together. The spicy smell was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out or swallow it.
"Qingqing," the tearful woman finally stepped forward and held Xia Yiqing's hand. "It's Mom's fault. If I had invited you to dinner and asked you to bring Mr. Qi, this wouldn't have happened."
Looking at the tears in the woman's eyes, Xia Yiqing's hands slowly began to tremble.
She controlled her hand, trying to pull it back, very slowly and clumsily, like a stranger who had been frozen for a long time in the winter night.
When Xia's mother realized that Xia Yiqing wanted to take it back, her tears welled up even more. "Are you still blaming me? I'll make amends to you."
Seeing that the woman was about to kneel down, not only did Xia Yiqing gasp, but the people around her also spoke out.
"That's not possible. How can a mother kneel before her daughter?"
"You haven't committed any serious crime. If you have something to say, why don't you just say it nicely? Get up."
"This girl is really something. She looks pretty, but when she saw her mother kneeling down for her, she didn't even blink."
"It seems like what her father said is true. This kind of woman is unlucky for her husband and harms her parents. She deserves to be struck by lightning."
"No wonder she was kidnapped. Even the evil ones couldn't stand it."
With just a few words, they seemed to have accused Xia Yiqing of being "unfilial".
"Quiet." Luo Miao arrived in time with his bodyguards.
He and his bodyguards evacuated the crowd. "This is a critical area of the hospital, right in front of the emergency room. What are you making such a fuss about?"
But when he saw Xia Yiqing, Luo Miao became obedient and stood straight. "Madam, I didn't know you were here. If I offended you, please punish me."
After such a big incident, Xia Yiqing was in no mood. "It's okay."
Father Xia had originally raised his head to call out something, but when he saw it was Luo Miao, who could represent the Third Master, his neck froze in mid-air. "Luo, Secretary Luo."
Luo Miao saw Xia's father, then quickly glanced at Xia Yiqing, his eyes darkening.
"Bodyguards, how can anyone be allowed in? If you see this person here again next time, you will all be fired."
As soon as Luo Miao finished speaking, a group of bodyguards in black reached out and grabbed Xia's father, and led him outside like an eagle catching a chick.
"Hey, be gentle." Xia's mother followed in a panic.
She turned around and looked at her daughter with tears in her eyes, "Qingqing, please let Daddy go, okay?"
Those who had been making a fuss had already been pulled aside. Xia Yiqing clutched the corner of her clothes tightly with her fingers, and felt that the face of the woman in front of her was becoming more and more unfamiliar.
"Haven't you always been on his side since you were little? But who actually started this?"
"Your father is ignorant, and you are making trouble too?"
"Oh," Xia Yiqing said, "after all the ups and downs tonight, she couldn't even squeeze out a few tears. She just waved her hand and said, "Madam Xia, you should go see your husband. After all, he is your sweetheart."
Muttering "He is your father", Xia's mother chased after him, but the man opened her hand again, and the two of them started cursing and shouting at each other again.
Staring at their backs, Xia Yiqing was a little dazed.
From the moment she first remembered her mother, she knew that she was a spineless person who always put her father first in everything she did.
This woman, this kind of woman, is really pathetic and hateful.
She acted as a bystander when her daughter was being abused at home. She might have been able to stop it, but she "couldn't bear it."
She was tired from what happened today and didn't want to argue with them.
Just consider it as giving mom one last favor.
After all, this woman had treated her sincerely when she was a child, dressing her, cooking for her, playing with her, and even secretly celebrating her birthday several times, even though the cake was greasy and she had stomach discomfort for several days after eating it.
"Madam," Luo Miao hesitated when she saw Xia Yiqing heading in the direction her parents had left.
"Did I punish them too harshly?"
In fact, he had never dealt with such a minor matter before. The Third Master had never dealt with such a minor matter before.
But how could he say that?
The cold air invaded inch by inch. Perhaps it was because of the big quarrel just now. Although Xia Yiqing's breathing had barely stabilized, her fingertips were still trembling unconsciously, and she didn't even notice it.
"Perhaps Secretary Luo felt that I was too lenient with the punishment."
Secretary Luo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "I dare not."
The Third Master has made it clear that he likes the Madam. If he were to oppose her now, wouldn't that be like walking into a trap?
"That's right. Secretary Luo has a happy family. She probably doesn't know that there are parents in this world who don't care about their children at all."
"Not really..."
Luo Miao wanted to say a few more words, but when he thought of what happened to the Third Master, he pursed his lips and fell silent.
Although the Third Master's mother successfully became the principal wife, she did not care about the Third Master as much as she cared about the son he had after he ascended to the throne.
The dew was heavy at night, and when the wind blew, the dark night seemed to block people's respiratory tract, making it difficult to breathe.
Just as Luo Miao was about to persuade her, "Madam, you should take care of your body," there was movement in the operating room.
Xia Yiqing held her breath as she saw a nurse approaching. "Who is the patient's family member? Please sign the critical illness notice."
"I am."
"Go away, I'll sign it, Disaster Star."
A calm and disdainful voice sounded from behind Xia Yiqing. Perhaps because he was always in a high-handed position, he sounded a little cold and indifferent.
Xia Yiqing was not familiar with this voice. She turned around and found that it was a young man with slicked-back hair and obvious red bloodshot eyes. His suit was straight and there was hair wax on his hair. He was clearly a very particular person.
"Who are you?"
"You don't know me? It doesn't matter if you don't know me, it's just that you have been with my eldest brother for so long."
"Not only is he childless, but you also keep sending him to the hospital every few days. I tolerated it all before, but now you're asking a heart patient to take the blame for the kidnappers' bombs. Xia Yiqing, do you still have any conscience?"
These words were so harsh that Xia Yiqing's mind buzzed and exploded.
She knew very well that Qi Hanmu was sent for emergency treatment and was now critically ill, which was not unrelated to her.
Luo Miao just reassured her, and she pretended not to care about what her parents said.
But who was it that sent Qi Hanmu, who was already in poor health, to the emergency room?
It's her.
It was her, Xia Yiqing.
This is a sin she cannot escape.
It was heavy and powerless, like a huge chain in the abyss, dragging Xia Yiqing to the bottom of the abyss, irreversibly.
My temples were throbbing, and the colorful world before me was slowly turning dark.
Xia Yiqing heard Luo Miao introducing, "Madam, this is Mr. Qi, the Third Master's younger brother. Mr. Qi, Madam, we are all family. Don't be angry, don't be angry."
Perhaps because he had never seen such a wishy-washy person, Qi Hanying snorted and exhaled air through his nostrils, looking at Xia Yiqing with a bit more disdain in his eyes.
"Why would I bother with her? She's just a woman. Big Brother wants her, how much do you want?"
Luo Miao broke out in a cold sweat.
He knew it very well, but the Third Master's attitude was clear: he didn't want those countless beauties, he only loved Xia Yiqing.
The world before her eyes seemed to be moving backwards at a rapid speed, and only Qi Hanying's warning words became louder and louder, beating in Xia Yiqing's ears like drumbeats.
"Xia Yiqing, I'm warning you. Don't have any extravagant thoughts about the Qi family's wealth. My brother won't fall for a woman like you who has nothing to offer except her looks."
After saying this, Qi Hanying quickly signed the critical illness notice, his pupils trembling slightly as he looked closely. "Please, save my brother."
"We'll do our best." The nurse nodded.
Losing consciousness happened in an instant. Xia Yiqing vaguely saw Luo Miao's face suddenly change and he leaned towards her. No matter how hard she tried, she could not see the scene behind him clearly.
"How could this happen?" Qi Hanying grabbed two handfuls of hair. "What did I say wrong? I haven't even blamed her for hurting my brother like this, but she fainted first."
After a pause, Qi Hanying asked the doctor, "What's wrong with her?"
"It's nothing serious. The patient is generally in good health. He just fainted due to hypoglycemia. Get more rest and eat three meals a day regularly..."
Before the doctor finished speaking, Qi Hanying snorted, threw her coat over her shoulders, and said, "I thought it was a big deal."
Perhaps thinking of something, Qi Hanying took two steps forward and turned back, "Secretary Luo, you should come out too. You don't have to watch her. Compared to my brother, she's much better."
As a middleman, Luo Miao had no choice but to persuade Mr. Qi first.
"Don't be angry. The Third Master is willing to sacrifice his life to save his wife... Miss Xia,"
This proves that Miss Xia's position in Third Master's heart may be more important than you think. If that's the case, Third Master certainly hopes that you can get along well with Miss Xia."
Qi Hanying jumped up and down, her eyes widening like a lit firecracker. "If it wasn't for saving that woman, my brother wouldn't have done that!"
Just when Luo Miao was secretly worried, the door of the operating room finally opened.
The operation, which lasted nearly ten hours, was finally over.
Qin Fei's face was full of fatigue. She took off her mask and said, "The operation was successful, but visitors are not allowed for now to prevent infection."
After learning that he would be able to visit in a week, Qi Hanying arranged bodyguards early, and he also waited outside every day.
"My brother probably doesn't want to see you when he wakes up, so don't waste your time."
Qi Hanying has been saying these and similar words these days, but Xia Yiqing has no intention of leaving.
Maybe, maybe, he is willing to see me.
Seeing Xia Yiqing sitting motionless on the iron stool, like a wooden stake, Qi Hanying lost her patience and said, "Did you hear that? Don't play dumb!"
Just then, a voice came out, "The patient's visiting time is up."
Both of their eyes lit up.
Finally, the voice added, "Only one person can enter at a time."
If the two of them were just secretly testing each other just now, now it has turned into a battle of glances.
No blood, but intense.
"Um..." Luo Miao walked forward, looking embarrassed.
"What are you going to do?" It was Qi Hanying.
Xia Yiqing also tensed her shoulders, then chuckled when she came to her senses, feeling that she had been a bit childish as well.
"Assistant Luo, are you going to side with her? I won't let you." Qi Hanying raised her hand and the bodyguards surrounded her.
"Hold her tightly to me. No one is allowed to enter, or you will lose your job."
Luo Miao blinked. If Third Master saw this, Mr. Qi would definitely be criticized.
Outside the ward, although Qi Hanmu had been transferred back to the ordinary ward, the VIP area had been strictly guarded by Qi Hanying and his men these days. Not to mention the noisy crowd, even the sunlight outside the window was a bit stingy. It was clearly the best angle, but it didn't come in.
It seems to be secretly reminding people that this is a hospital, a place where life lingers.
There was originally tension between Qi Hanying and Xia Yiqing.
But after the nurse said, "Are you coming yet? If not, today's visiting hours will be over and the patient can rest," Xia Yiqing could clearly feel the tension in Qi Hanying's muscles.
His face was about half similar to Qi Hanmu's, and his eyes were staring at her as if she were an uninvited guest.
"You two are my relatives, I'm sure you'd both like to see me."
"But there's more than one visiting hour. If you ask me, why don't you two play rock-paper-scissors to decide who's visiting today and who's visiting tomorrow? That would be fair and quick."
Luo Miao looked straight ahead and spoke these words impartially.
"Why are you playing rock-paper-scissors with her? How childish! Secretary Luo, you've changed too. You're talking like this just for an outsider."
Before Luo Miao could speak, perhaps because it was too quiet or the soundproofing was poor, an alarm suddenly sounded from the equipment in the ward.
The nurse's face changed and she rushed in and called the doctor.
The person inside is the largest investor and shareholder of this hospital. If anything goes wrong, no one can take the responsibility.
The atmosphere became tense again for a moment. Xia Yiqing clutched the corner of her clothes and found that her palms were wet with sweat.
These days, her phone has been constantly bombarded with work notifications, and she's been pushing them away whenever she can, only dealing with a handful.
I wonder if anyone came to talk to Qi Hanmu about work during the week he was in a coma.
The smell of disinfectant wafted up, and Xia Yiqing heard something in a trance.
"Which family member is surnamed Xia? The patient wants to see you."
