Chapter 423 Do you trust Huo Xingzhou so much?
Zhong Yi's lips curved up, and his handsome face became even more alluring. His face was pale from excessive blood loss, but it had a more fragile beauty.
He looked up and asked, "Why?"
"This concerns a friend of mine." Qiao Xi's eyes turned red. "Mr. Zhong shouldn't be hospitalized with a fever or pneumonia. Your face says a lot."
Zhong Yi looked at her with a smile: "I shouldn't underestimate the Chinese medicine's observation, listening, questioning and palpation. Besides, you are the apprentice of the traditional Chinese medicine doctor Cheng Han. But how I am hospitalized, what does it have to do with you?"
Qiao Xi clenched her hands, her nails digging deep into her palms. "Why would Master Zhong go to Moon Village? And why would he hide in the trunk of my Huo family's car to return to the city?"
Zhong Yi said slowly, "Shouldn't you ask Huo Xingzhou about these issues? Or is it that your relationship isn't that good, and he didn't even tell you this?"
Qiao Xi's voice was soft. "He didn't tell me because he was thinking about me. I didn't ask him because I appreciated his kindness. Now that I've discovered something else, of course I have to ask the person involved. I don't want him to worry about something uncertain."
Huo Xingzhou didn't know Ayi very well.
He was always jealous then.
Qiao Xi didn't want to cause any trouble.
If Zhong Yi is indeed the person she thought he was, then she would go back and explain everything to Huo Xingzhou; if not, then she would just pretend that nothing had happened.
She doesn't believe in the resurrection of the dead.
But some clues forced her to investigate further.
Zhong Yi was not very happy after hearing her words: "You really trust Huo Xingzhou. You think everything he does is for your own good. I remember that you married into the Huo family for the sake of good fortune. He didn't really want to marry you in the beginning."
"It's okay to be sincere now. At least I love him sincerely."
Qiao Xi didn't allow him to say bad things about Huo Xingzhou.
Wan Jiang defended, "Doctor Qiao, our Master Zhong is very devoted. You don't know anything, so don't misunderstand." He saw every move of their Master Zhong.
There is no one more devoted than him.
"Mr. Zhong, please don't change the subject." Qiao Xi stared at him intently with her almond-shaped eyes. "Please tell me why you went to Moon Village?"
Zhong Yi laughed. "I was shot. Zhong Lingxiao sent people to chase me and I fled to that area. I don't have much influence in Haicheng, so I can only turn to Huo Xingzhou. He's still waiting for me to invest in the Future City project. Does he hope that the investor will die? I just didn't want to scare you, so I was hiding in the trunk."
"Mrs. Huo, you also saw that the checkpoints were set up to look for people. If I had hidden in an ordinary person's car, I would have died eight hundred times. You are so concerned about my whereabouts, don't let people misunderstand."
What he said seemed to make sense.
But Qiao Xi didn't listen to him and only believed what she had verified.
"Mr. Zhong, please let me see your right wrist." Her whole body was tense as if it were a string. Are some of these guesses really ridiculous?
Zhong Shao casually stretched out his right hand: "Come and see for yourself."
He was holding a mobile phone in his left hand, scrolling through videos and looking very calm.
Qiao Xi slowly approached and looked at the watch.
Ayi's right wrist had a shallow scar from when he saved her. If there really was...
Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment, then reached out and unfastened his watch strap. Once the buckle came loose, the entire watch face hung on his hand.
Zhong Yi raised his eyes and looked at her profile.
The faint scent of shampoo emanating from her hair was a bit unfamiliar. It seemed that she had been assimilated into the life of Huo Xingzhou.
A silly girl who is stubborn.
I wonder how much mental preparation she had made before rushing here. She must have overturned her own guesses over and over again, and couldn't help but act impulsively.
Zhong Yi's heart felt burned and a little sour.
"Mrs. Huo, have you seen enough? Is there a flower on my right wrist?" Zhong Yi smiled nonchalantly, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
Qiao Xi accidentally touched his skin and took off his watch, revealing his smooth and cold skin.
Where are the scars?
No.
She froze completely, feeling that all the energy she had accumulated throughout the night had dissipated at this moment, leaving her completely without any strength left.
Zhong Yi retracted his hand: "Could it be that there is really a flower on my wrist?"
Qiao Xi pursed her lips, her eyes filled with moisture.
She tried her best to hold it back, keeping her face calm as she said, "I'm sorry if I offended you. You're not the one I'm looking for."
"Who did you mistake me for? Is that person more important than Huo Xingzhou?" Zhong Yi's tone sounded calm, but his fingers curled up, he also wanted to know the answer.
"I thought you were... But this also means that neither Grandpa Cheng nor he lied to me."
Qiao Xi tried hard to force a smile, but her expression was heartbreaking.
Zhong Yi hid his eyes and said, "Is this the person you like?"
Qiao Xi shook her head: "No, that's my best...irreplaceable friend."
"So you don't like him. That guy looks a lot like me?"
"They look alike, and have the same name. But their personalities and ways of dealing with things are completely different, and their backgrounds are even more so. I remember he was an orphan, and Grandpa Cheng took pity on him and took him in... But he died, so when he saw you..."
Zhong Yi kept a faint smile on her face. "Don't recognize the wrong person next time, otherwise your friend will be sad even if he dies. I also don't want Mrs. Huo to think of me as a substitute. Otherwise, I will go to Huo Xingzhou to complain."
Qiao Xi nodded gently and looked at him seriously.
Those clear almond-shaped eyes were filled with so many emotions that it was hard to understand at that moment.
"Sorry to bother you. I'll leave now..."
When she turned to leave, she accidentally knocked over the small stool. She bent down to pick it up and walked out of the ward in a hurry.
Looks pitiful.
Wan Jiang watched her back as she walked away before closing the door.
"Master Zhong, you are truly as foresighted as a god."
He moved a small round stool to sit next to Zhong Yi's bed and said, "I had laser scar removal surgery not long after coming to Haicheng, and I've been wearing this watch to cover the scabs. I didn't expect Dr. Qiao to actually make such a request."
He remembered that Master Zhong was in a particularly bad mood that day, but the effect of laser scar removal was very good!
Zhong Yi said calmly, "I was just being cautious. She's a fool, and she's also very stubborn. She trusts Yi too much, and thinks Yi would never lie to her. She also believes that the boy is really dead..."
He put down his phone, his voice strangely cold. "Now that she wants to see my scars, it can only mean one thing. We've revealed too many things. Wan Jiang, do you really think she believes what I say?"
Wan Jiang asked back, "Didn't she believe it? She seemed quite lost."
Zhong Yi shook her head: "I didn't admit it this time, and she had no other choice. But if she has doubts, according to her personality, she will throw evidence in my face and force me to admit it next time!"
He knew her temper best.
Pure black and white.
Either she doesn't doubt it, or she's dead. Once she suspects something, she'll investigate it thoroughly and completely eliminate the suspicion in her heart before she'll stop.
Wan Jiang pressed on, "She looks so weak, but she's so powerful? What should we do?"
Zhong Yi closed his eyes slightly and exhaled: "Leave Haicheng."
