Chapter 417 Qiao Xi's Impudent Request
Qiao Xi looked at him in shock for a moment.
He had a cold and fever that almost led to pneumonia, and he was still wandering around in a wheelchair?
When he saw her, a hint of surprise crossed his pale, frail face. He folded his hands casually in front of him, his expression returning to composure.
Wan Jiang, who was pushing the wheelchair behind him, lowered his voice and said, "What should we do, Young Master Zhong? We have to pass the nurses' station to go to the terrace to bask in the sun. Do you want to go?"
The hospital's 22nd-floor inpatient ward is luxuriously decorated and offers VIP services. This floor also boasts a large, pleasantly decorated terrace garden, where patients often go to enjoy some fresh air.
When Zhong Shao suggested basking in the sun, Wan Jiang suggested that he go to the large terrace.
There weren't many people around at this hour. He also said that Shen Xuanzhi's mother had woken up, and Dr. Qiao probably wouldn't come to the hospital for a while.
But who could have thought!
We met head on.
"Go ahead." Zhong Shao said softly, still maintaining a very formal smile on his face.
Wan Jiang pushed him closer and greeted Qiao Xi, "What a coincidence! Why are you working at the hospital today?"
"Shen Xuanzhi's mother's craniotomy is scheduled for today. I came to check on the situation."
Qiao Xi had originally planned to rest at home for a day; the bumpy ride back and forth for two days had left her bones feeling broken. But when Dr. Yan told her that Shen Xuanzhi's mother needed surgery, she decided to come, determined to be responsible.
"You are so responsible."
Wan Jiang laughed dryly and was polite.
Qiao Xi twitched the corner of her mouth and looked at Zhong Yi who was sitting in a wheelchair. "Is Master Zhong so seriously ill this time? He has to use a wheelchair even if he has a cold and a fever? He can't even stand up."
Zhong Yi spoke slowly, "It's probably because I'm not used to the climate here. The climate in Haicheng is very different from the imperial capital. I'm having trouble adjusting and I'm getting really sick."
He wanted to see her from a distance in the hospital before leaving Haicheng, and didn't want to communicate with her face to face.
Zhong Yi used 120% of his acting skills to play a stranger in front of her.
One day, he will be defeated by his greed.
Qiao Xi observed his complexion. Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning and palpation.
If the fever had really led to pneumonia, his complexion shouldn't be like this.
It looks like a simple lack of Qi and blood, but there is no problem with the internal organs.
Wan Jiang said politely, "Doctor Qiao, if there's nothing else, I'll take Young Master Zhong out to get some sun to kill bacteria and replenish calcium."
Qiao Xi made way.
She watched Zhong Yi walk past her. She was clearly wearing a hospital gown, but she had never taken off the famous watch on her right wrist.
"Mr. Zhong."
Qiao Xi suddenly asked, "Do you have a twin brother? Did your mother only give birth to you?"
Zhong Yi turned his head to look at her, "Does Dr. Qiao know someone who looks like me? That's such a coincidence. If you have the chance, please introduce him to me."
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and asked, "Can I make a request?"
"Since it's so presumptuous, I suggest you stop saying it. After all, Dr. Qiao and I are strangers who can't even give each other birthday presents." Zhong Yi said softly, "Wan Jiang, let's go. If we're any later, the sun will set."
Wan Jiang responded, secretly complaining that it was only morning and the sun would not set so soon.
The sun must be rising from the west today. Young Master Zhong actually confronted Miss Qiao.
I protect you so secretly on weekdays!
I would rather stay in the trunk for hours than arouse any speculation from her.
Even when he used Lin Xifei, he beat her up first and then banned her in the imperial capital, using the excuse that it was to gain Zhong Lingxiao's trust.
If this wasn't to vent his anger and take revenge on Miss Qiao, Wan Jiang swore he would pronounce his name backwards!
Wan Jiang pushed Zhong Yi away directly.
Qiao Xi clenched her thumb into a palm and squeezed it.
Shu Xue said, "This Mr. Zhong doesn't seem to be giving you much face. You must have returned the gift to him at your last birthday party, which made him angry. If you ask me, don't worry about how valuable it is. Just accept them all."
Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said, "Xingzhou also agrees with me to retreat."
Shu Xue patted her shoulder. "Then don't worry about it. I don't think you're the same kind of people. Let me tell you a little gossip. This morning I checked the trending searches and found that all the major brands have terminated their contracts with Lin Xifei, and she's been kicked out of many upcoming film and television productions."
Qiao Xi said without much surprise, "Before, Xingzhou said he wanted to ban her in Haicheng."
Shu Xue shook her head repeatedly: "No! It's not just Haicheng, it's all of Lin Xifei's contracts! It's a complete ban!"
Qiao Xi looked at her.
"It's true! Let me show you my phone." Shu Xue took it out and handed it to her. "After you told me what Lin Xifei did at the TV station, I started paying special attention to her."
When Qiao Xi checked her phone, she found that this matter had caused a lot of discussion online.
Even Lin Xifei’s social network was blocked.
A film queen was banned like this?
"How could that be? She has the eldest son of the Zhong family behind her. At least she can wield power in the capital. Anyone who touches her needs to consider the face of the eldest son of the Zhong family."
Shu Xue said, "What if that person doesn't need to consider Zhong Lingxiao's face? She's a mistress, not Mr. Zhong's legal wife. Look, the one who just went out to bask in the sun doesn't need to worry so much. If they want to ban her, they can ban her."
Like.
He was indeed wanton and unbridled.
Like someone who could do such a thing.
I heard that the two brothers of the Zhong family were fighting very fiercely. Since Zhong Yi couldn't touch Zhong Lingxiao for the time being, he could vent his anger on the women around him.
Qiao Xi felt like there were countless tangles in her mind, and she couldn't make sense of them.
She said, "Shuxue, Young Master Zhong probably doesn't have the flu or a fever. Could you help me keep an eye on him recently to see if there's anything wrong with him?"
"OK."
Shu Xue said, "Business war, I understand. I didn't expect you to join in too. You're worthy of being the boss lady of Tianyuan Group."
Qiao Xi didn't explain much, "I'll go to the ward first."
After she finished speaking, she walked towards the general ward on the 85th floor. Shen Xuanzhi was waiting at the door of the ward.
The doctor was doing some simple preoperative examinations in the ward. Qiao Xi took a look and said, "Your mother looks fine. The success rate of this operation is very high. The surgeon is the chief physician of the Department of Neurosurgery and has a lot of experience."
Shen Xuanzhi remained serious and tried to speak in a gentle tone, "Well, thank you very much. I heard that you specifically asked the director of neurosurgery to make time for this."
"Huh? I didn't look for the director of the Department of Neurosurgery."
Qiao Xi paused and said, "Did you hear wrongly? I haven't been in Haicheng these two days. I've returned to the countryside."
Shen Xuanzhi's back was straight and a little stiff.
He thought of the angry debt collector who called him this morning.
His words were full of insults, saying that the young and cunning girl had caused them to stay in jail for a few days, and that he had already paid back the 200,000 yuan he owed.
His long, bony fingers hung down at his sides, slightly curled up.
He looked at Qiao Xi and said unnaturally, "Can you please help me, Doctor Qiao?"
