Chapter 35: As an elder, you can’t always favor one over the other
Xie Qingcen sat in the back seat, his dark eyes slightly narrowed, leaning lazily on the back of the chair with a casual posture.
Hearing Qi Chong's report, he didn't even raise his eyes, and said in a light voice, "Yeah."
Qi Chong pursed his lips, and then as if remembering something, he spoke, "And Miss Fu Zhiqing, she has just been sent to the hospital, and compensation has been made according to the relevant regulations. She should not come to trouble Miss Ruan again for a long time."
Xie Qingcen's eyebrows moved slightly, he raised his eyelids, and his narrow and cold eyes were filled with a deep dark color, with a hint of coldness.
"Do we need to report to such irrelevant people? Qi Chong, you seem to be too talkative today."
Qi Chong's breath was caught in his throat. He pursed his lips and felt that he still needed to remind Mr. Xie.
He spoke with a hesitant look, "Mr. Xie, but... Miss Fu is..."
Xie Qingcen bent his fingers slightly and tapped the armrests of the chair slowly and rhythmically, his deep brows revealing a hint of impatience.
He raised his eyes, "Who she is has nothing to do with me."
"Hesitate, Qi Chong, do you want to go to Africa to train for a few months?"
Qi Chong's body stiffened, his face instantly tensed, and his heart was lifted.
After a long while, he took a deep breath, faced Xie Qingcen's slightly unhappy eyes, and said as if he had made up his mind, "Boss Xie, Miss Fu Zhiqing is actually your niece."
"The kind that's your own."
Finally, Qi Chong added another sentence.
After saying that, he quickly lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the black carpet beneath him, as if he could see a flower blooming in it. He didn't dare to look at Xie Qingcen's expression at all.
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingcen paused, and a hint of surprise flashed across his deep black eyes.
After a long while, he frowned and looked at Qi Chong, "My cheap sister's daughter?"
"Yes." Qi Chong nodded.
"Oh, the disciple is better than the master."
Xie Qingcen suddenly snorted coldly, his delicate eyebrows and eyes filled with a deep coldness.
No wonder he felt familiar with him, it turned out that he had a quarter of Xie family blood in his body.
In his generation, the Xie family of Yuncheng had only two direct descendants.
One is him, and the other is Fu Zhiqing's mother, his biological sister Xie Qingshu.
However, although they were the closest relatives in this world, Xie Qingcen did not have a deep impression of Xie Qingshu's sister and his feelings for her were extremely shallow.
Just because Xie Qingshu almost overturned the entire Xie family, just for a man.
How ridiculous!
The eldest daughter of a wealthy family who had enjoyed all the resources of the Xie family since childhood, actually betrayed her family without hesitation for the sake of a young man from a third-rate family.
The Xie family suffered heavy losses and was once on the verge of bankruptcy.
If it weren't for its century-old foundation, the Xie family would probably have disappeared in that disaster long ago.
How could there be the glory it has today?
Because of Xie Qingshu, Xie's mother almost had a miscarriage and had to go to the hospital to take care of the fetus.
If Xie's father had not invited famous doctors from home and abroad to help Xie's mother maintain her pregnancy, there would probably be no such person as Xie Qingcen in the world today.
So even though they had never met, Xie Qingcen had no good feelings towards his adopted sister.
Now, when he saw Fu Zhiqing, he felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
Such a stupid woman like a pig actually has the blood of the Xie family flowing in her body. Just thinking about it, Xie Qingcen couldn't help but feel disgusted.
Xie Qingcen lifted his eyelids, and glanced at Qi Chong with his dark eyes. His tone was calm and there was no fluctuation in his voice. "You know it so clearly. Did the old lady ask you to check it?"
Everyone in the Xie family is cold-hearted by nature. Since they kicked Xie Qingshu out of the family tree, they will never interfere no matter what happens to her outside.
This is the rule, and also a punishment for Xie Qingshu.
What's more, Xie Qingshu had died in a chain car accident five years ago along with her beloved husband.
When a person dies, it is like a light going out. It is even more impossible for the Xie family to investigate the relationships of a deceased person before his death or to take revenge on irrelevant people in a despicable way.
Xie Qingcen's eyes moved slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
There was a faint flash of white in his eyes.
But there are always exceptions. After all, not everyone in the Xie family has the surname Xie.
The reason why Qi Chong could now tell Fu Zhiqing's identity so accurately was probably because someone had specifically told him to do so.
When people reach the age where they can do whatever they want, they are most likely to become soft-hearted.
Xie Qingcen narrowed his eyes and chuckled twice.
There was a hint of mockery in his eyes as he looked at Qi Chong.
It makes me feel cold for no reason.
Qi Chong shuddered involuntarily. He smiled bitterly twice. As expected, nothing could be hidden from Mr. Xie's eyes.
He pursed his lips and nodded affirmatively, "Yes, Mr. Xie. The old lady asked me to investigate secretly before you returned to China."
"The old lady didn't intend to hide it from you, but..."
Xie Qingcen sneered, his eyes sharp, "Just what? Qi Chong, don't forget whose assistant you are!"
Qi Chong paused, lowered his head in silence, and looked apologetic.
Xie Qingcen looked away indifferently, not intending to pursue the matter.
His eyebrows moved slightly, as if he thought of something, and then he smiled.
Xie Qingcen opened his mouth, "Please clear your schedule tonight. I need to go back to the old house."
Since the old lady is worried, he doesn't mind being a good person.
Now that my niece has seen it, it’s time for my good nephew to see it.
Xie Qingcen raised the corners of his lips slightly, and a dark light of unknown meaning was faintly surging in his dark eyes.
As an elder, you cannot favor one over another.
Besides, he was very interested in meeting Xiao Liuzheng's ex-husband.
Qi Chong looked at Xie Qingcen and swallowed silently.
I was really worried for Mr. Fu, whom I had never met before. I just hoped that he could be more careful and follow Mr. Xie's wishes.
But don’t be like Fu Zhiqing whom I met today, otherwise…
Qi Chong shook his head slightly, then sat back in his seat, opened his phone and started planning Xie Qingcen's next itinerary.
The carriage fell silent again, and the dark-colored Rolls-Royce Phantom sped toward its destination like an arrow.
No conversation along the way.
…
On the other side, Fu Zhiqing was thrown directly to the hospital gate by Qi Chong. She stared at the dusty card on the ground with vicious eyes.
His knuckles made a crackling sound.
Thinking of the contemptuous look on the man's face when he left just now, a trace of deep resentment flashed across her eyes.
She had never been humiliated like this since she was a child!
It would have been fine if they just dragged her out of the department store in front of everyone, but they even dared to blatantly use money to insult her!
It’s better not to let her know the identities of those two people, otherwise...
And Ruan Liuzheng actually dared to watch her being humiliated!
She must make Ruan Liuzheng pay the price!
Fu Zhiqing wanted to speak angrily, but her jaw couldn't even move.
She couldn't even feel her chin.
Fu Zhiqing opened her eyes slightly and finally felt afraid. She no longer cared about her anger towards Ruan Liuzheng.
She broke the credit card that Qi Chong had thrown away before leaving, and then ran into the hospital in a panic.
She can't be disfigured, she can't be mute!
Half an hour later, Fu Zhiqing was sitting in the VIP ward on the top floor of the hospital, surrounded by expert doctors from various departments.
"Ms. Fu, your jaw has been fixed. Remember to open your mouth less in the next few days to avoid secondary damage."
A gray-haired orthopedic surgeon gave Fu Zhiqing some serious instructions after correcting her bones.
Fu Zhiqing covered her chin with her hands, tears in her eyes. The delicate makeup she had put on when she went out in the morning had blurred her entire face, making her look extremely disheveled.
She bit her lip and tried to keep her voice down to avoid causing injuries to the side of her face by opening her mouth. "I'm telling you, my brother is the president of the Fu Group! You'd better treat him with all your heart, otherwise... I..."
Halfway through her words, Fu Zhiqing groaned in pain and her eyes turned fierce.
At this time, the side of her face was as red and swollen as a steamed bun.
This is enough to show how much effort Ruan Liuzheng used at that time.
She looked at her cheek through the TV screen in front of her, and reached out to touch it in disbelief. "What's wrong with my face? Why is it still so swollen? Can you quacks really cure it?"
The dean pursed his lips. He was really annoyed by this young lady who threatened and intimidated him right from the start.
But thinking of Fu Yanci's power, he had to smile and said, "Ms. Fu, don't worry, we are using the most expensive special medicine in our hospital. I can guarantee that your face will be completely healed!"
"You'd better keep your word!" Fu Zhiqing stared at the dean who was speaking in front of her. She clenched her palms and spoke in a threatening tone.
However, her mind was full of Ruan Liuzheng, the culprit who had harmed her to such a state!
When Fu Zhiqing thought of her cold and indifferent expression, she gritted her teeth in hatred.
The hatred that surged like a tide even overshadowed the pain on her face, making her expression even gloomier.
The dean looked at Fu Zhiqing's expression and was shocked, but he still spoke in accordance with his duty, "Miss Fu, your injury is not serious. Do you want to be hospitalized or..."
Fu Zhiqing came back to her senses. She raised her eyes and glanced coldly at the dean, saying, "Prescribe some medicine for me! I don't want to be hospitalized."
She still had to settle accounts with Ruan Liuzheng, so how could she possibly stay in the hospital and waste time?
A few minutes later, Fu Zhiqing walked out of the ward with the medicine and walked towards the elevator with a heavy look in her eyes.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped halfway through his journey.
"Zhiqing? Why are you here?"
Fu Yanci stood in front of Fu Zhiqing. He was not wearing a coat, only a thin shirt with his sleeves slightly rolled up.
He was holding a kettle on his left hand, which softened his usual coldness and made him appear easy-going and approachable.
At this moment, he looked at Fu Zhiqing in front of him, frowned slightly, and his dark eyes hid deep confusion.
He spoke again, "How did you get hurt? Who is so bold as to hit you!"
Fu Yanci spoke in a serious tone, his eyes fell on Fu Zhiqing's red and swollen cheek, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes.
His expression became increasingly cold.
Ever since his parents passed away unexpectedly, Zhiqing has been his only relative in this world. Even during the most difficult years, he was reluctant to let Zhiqing get hurt or suffer any hardship.
Not to mention that he has now taken the position of president of Fu Group. Who in Yuncheng dares not to give him some face?
How dare someone hurt his sister right under his nose? He really... doesn't know how to live or die!
