Chapter 189 Qiao Xi is not your child
Upon arrival at the clinic.
Qiao Xi walked towards the living room behind the clinic.
She pushed open the old lady's door and saw the familiar handsome face inside. Her smile faded: "Why are you here?"
Xu Yunye, leaning on his cane, looked at her with a smile: "Grandma Qiao asked me to come. She cooked me some preserved egg and lean meat porridge. It's delicious!"
He is fearless.
Grandma Qiao also smiled lovingly: "Yun Ye is a good-looking and sensible child, with a sweet mouth and is very lovable."
She liked Xu Yunye very much and thought he looked very friendly.
Grandma Qiao can already get out of bed and walk, but she can't walk very well.
"I came here because Grandma Qiao likes me. Doctor Qiao, don't always target me. I have someone to back me up." His almond-shaped eyes, identical to Qiao Xi's, were filled with cunning and pride.
Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said, "So what are you doing? Stacking gold ingots?"
"Today is your father's death anniversary. I want to burn some paper money for him. So that he will have money to take care of himself and live a carefree life in the afterlife." Grandma Qiao said with a dim look in her eyes.
The older generation has this idea, which is deeply ingrained in their bones.
They believe that people have souls after death and that there are ten kings of hell, so they burn incense and paper money for the dead during festivals.
"Grandma, we can't just burn paper money here. Can we go back to the village and pay our respects later?"
Grandma Qiao pursed her lips and held the paper money helplessly.
"Grandma, let's go back to our hometown next time we have a break." Qiao Xi hugged the frail old lady and said distressedly, "Let's go back together."
Grandma Qiao nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Okay, let's go home and worship together."
Qiao Xi touched her gray hair and said, "You can fold all the paper money first, the more the better. We can take it back to the countryside and burn it for Dad."
She had almost no memory of her father.
He died at a very young age.
Xu Yunye stood aside, feeling for the first time the suffering of the world. Living in the Xu family's luxurious surroundings, he'd done many absurd things to beg for his parents' love. But some people in this world didn't even have the chance to beg, growing up in hardship and difficulty.
Qiao Xi is like a trumpet creeper growing out of the cracks of a cliff.
It's so beautiful that it makes people feel heartbroken.
Xu Yunye's heart suddenly felt heavy as he said, "Let me help Grandma Qiao fold the paper money. Doctor Qiao, the patients outside are waiting for you."
Grandma Qiao forced a smile and said, "Nannan, you go to work first."
"good."
Qiao Xi glanced at Xu Yunye with some concern, "Grandma, call me if you have any problems."
"Go ahead."
Grandma Qiao urged.
After Qiao Xi left, Xu Yunye looked at Grandma Qiao and asked, "Did she have a hard life as a child?"
Grandma Qiao smiled and said, "That's right. Since her family had no money, she went out to collect scrap. Later, she followed Old Cheng to study medicine, and at the age of seven or eight, she went into the mountains to collect herbs, saying they could be sold for money. The children in the village even bullied her because she had no parents and refused to play with her..."
As Grandma Qiao gets older, the past becomes clearer in her mind.
A small figure suddenly appeared in Xu Yunye's mind, watching her friends play pitifully, covered in mud and looked down upon. Without the love of her parents, she had to bear the burden of life.
Compared to this, what is he?
Xu Xingluo is even more of a piece of shit!
His heart ached slightly, and an indescribable palpitation surged up.
"Yun Ye, has your family or your relatives ever lost a child?" Grandma Qiao suddenly asked.
She had a ridiculous guess in her mind.
I always feel that the two children look very similar from certain angles.
She knew that Qiao Xi was not a child of the Qiao family.
Xu Yunye was startled, then slowly said, "Our family has never lost a child. My sister..."
Xu Xingluo and Xu Guangyao look so similar, and they have had a good relationship as father and daughter since childhood.
How could such a ridiculous possibility exist?
"I just asked casually." Grandma Qiao smiled unnaturally.
She is really crazy!
Her health has been getting worse recently, and she can feel that walking is much more difficult than before.
"Grandma Qiao, why do you ask that? Isn't Qiao Xi your child..."
"Of course she is!"
Grandma Qiao emphasized, "I raised him myself, so of course he is my child." She didn't dare to tell this secret, for fear of what the Huo family would think of Qiao Xi.
What if her biological parents are sinners and not good people?
Xu Yunye completely gave up on such thoughts.
You can't just think that a girl who looks familiar and similar to you is your sister when you see her.
He must have been harmed by Xu Xingluo!
…
Qiao Xi was busy in the clinic all day.
In the evening, she could see luxury cars leaving the gate of Tianyuan Group from afar. Many executives were leaving for the Jinling Hotel, and the Rolls-Royce was also on the way.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue said enviously, "It's really lively."
"yes."
Qiao Xi had a gentle smile on her face.
"What a shame, Dr. Qiao has to stay with us in the store."
Qiao Xi smiled and said, "Let's close the shop early and give you guys a day off. Go do whatever you want tonight. I'll stay with grandma."
She was very grateful to Jiang Yue and Wang Lang, as they both cared deeply about Grandma Qiao.
"Okay, I was just looking for an opportunity to go out to the night market." Jiang Yueyuan's face was full of surprise. "I'll go pack and go out now."
Qiao Xi looked at Wang Lang, who was absent-minded in the corner, and asked, "Wang Lang, are you feeling unwell?"
Wang Lang was startled and shook his head: "My dad has been in the hospital for surgery these days, and I'm a little worried. I'm going to see him tonight..."
Qiao Xi said generously: "Then I'll give you a day off tomorrow as well. Take good care of your father."
"Um."
Wang Lang looked at her hesitantly, but swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He lowered his head, his eyes full of struggle.
…
Night falls.
The bustling streets were lit up with colorful lights, and the night scene of Haicheng was presented to the world.
It's like a dream and very lively.
Eight o'clock sharp.
The Jinling Hotel was booked by the Tianyuan Group, and nearly a hundred people gathered there.
Zhou Yu, dressed like a peacock, spoke on behalf of the CEO. He was always good at inspiring people and making passionate speeches. Huo Xingzhou left all the limelight work to him.
So, Zhou Yu held the microphone on the stage and painted a rosy picture for the middle and senior management to boost morale.
Huo Xingzhou sat at the main table, drinking lazily with his eyes downcast, the Patek Philippe watch on his wrist dazzling. Next to him sat Huo Jiancheng, and next to him were Xu Guangyao and his daughter.
Xu Xingluo's eyes were always glued to Huo Xingzhou.
At this moment, the chef of Jinling Hotel appeared carrying a bamboo food box and said respectfully to Huo Xingzhou, "Mr. Huo, these are the two servings of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that you asked the kitchen staff to pack. Please take a look. Is there anything else you need?"
"No, please take me outside. My driver will take over. I'll be leaving soon."
Huo Xingzhou said calmly with a cold expression.
"OK."
Xu Xingluo asked in confusion: "Brother Xingzhou, why are you still packing?"
"Qiao Xi loves to eat." He didn't even raise his eyelids, looking very indifferent.
Xu Xingluo was burning with jealousy. The country girl had never seen the world and even wanted to pack up the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!
Just wait and see!
Tonight, Qiao Xi will be in excruciating pain!
