Chapter 318: Madonna Disease, I Can’t Cure It
Xu Xiuyuan pulled the thermal bag from her hand, bent down and picked up the crushed pastries on the ground.
Ye Zhimeng was dissatisfied at first sight.
"Xiuyuan, what are you doing?"
She reached out to stop Xu Xiuyuan, but he pushed her away. Ye Zhimeng was weak and fell to the ground without a firm grip. Pain surged through her buttocks.
She looked at the man in astonishment.
Xu Xiuyuan's voice was colder than an ice knife in the cold winter. "Ye Zhimeng, I tolerate you in every way because of the friendship between the elders of our two families. If you bully Qiao Xi again, I'll see if you can stay in Haicheng! You'd better remember your identity. You are just an adopted daughter of the Ye family.
I can make you leave Haicheng at any time and never return to your country."
He has always been gentle and polite, and has never shown such a fierce expression.
Ye Zhimeng was so frightened that she stammered: "I...you..."
How could her beloved man treat her like this for a married woman?
"Wow……"
Ye Zhimeng burst into tears.
Qiao Xi said sarcastically, "Your crying is so ugly. You look more like a clown than Xu Xingluo. Don't worry, I'm not interested in Xu Xiuyuan. In the whole of Haicheng, no one can compare to my husband Huo Xingzhou."
Ye Zhimeng's face turned pale with humiliation.
Qiao Xi glanced at her, turned around and left.
What bad luck.
"Xiuyuan..." Ye Zhimeng cried.
Xu Xiuyuan's eyes showed a hint of disgust: "Ye Zhimeng, don't be annoying. I heard that the Ye family wants to end your adoption relationship. If you continue to bully Qiao Xi recklessly, forget about being a wealthy lady."
Ye Zhimeng looked at him in horror, as if she saw a graceful gentleman turning into a ruthless and cold-blooded devil.
She was scared.
Then came the deep resentment towards Qiao Xi.
Xu Xiuyuan looked at the crushed cake, still feeling unsatisfied, and said, "The photo of you being carried out of the bathhouse naked last night has already been reported on the local entertainment news. You better take care of yourself."
Ye Zhimeng's body went limp, her throat was tight, and she couldn't utter a single word.
Entertainment news!
Her naked appearance was seen by everyone in Haicheng?
Entertainment news naturally won’t publish such revealing photos, and the key parts are all blurred.
But people who were present privately forwarded and circulated first-hand photos and videos, and it went viral.
Ye Zhimeng sat on the ground, her ears buzzing.
It's over.
The Ye family values reputation so much that they will definitely punish her severely.
Ye Zhimeng stood up and staggered out.
Xu Xiuyuan looked at her back with a very cold look.
Those news media didn't dare to disclose such secrets of the wealthy family because he was the one who gave them a push.
Besides him, it seemed that someone else also greeted him.
Otherwise, how could the Ye family’s connections not be able to suppress this scandal?
…
The other side.
Qiao Xi put on a white coat and began to help Dr. Yan.
When she was free, she would take out the needles and prick her own acupuncture points to better understand the flow of Qi in her meridians.
Tian Tian caught the last appointment of the afternoon. She came with a heavy heart for facial paralysis treatment. Her face has almost recovered, and there's no difference between the right and left sides.
Qiao Xi finished the acupuncture treatment on her.
"Go back and have a good rest, don't stay up late and don't drink too much. You won't need to come for acupuncture in the future."
She said as she packed up her utensils.
Tian Tian hesitated to speak beside her, and suggested: "You just got off work, how about I treat you to dinner?"
Qiao Xi said calmly: "No, I'm in a hurry to get home from get off work."
"Then can we go out and talk for a while?" Tian Tian said humbly.
She was grateful to Qiao Xi in her heart, but she and Xu Xingluo were sisters who grew up together, so she was always a little depressed.
Qiao Xi followed her out of the clinic and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Tian Tian looked dejected: "Xingluo has gone crazy."
"Got it. Anything else?"
Tian Tian thought she would at least show surprise, but she only showed indifference as if it had nothing to do with her.
"Qiao Xi, aren't you a little upset? She's crazy! The former most famous lady in Haicheng has become a lunatic. Don't you think it's pitiful?"
Qiao Xi asked back, "Isn't it what you deserve? What exactly do you want from me?"
"I...I want you to issue a letter of apology and give her a lighter punishment. She is truly pitiful and has already received the retribution she deserves. She is now worse than an ordinary person and has no chance of competing with you for Huo Xingzhou."
Tian Tian held her breath and said a long string of words, "Or, let her go?"
Qiao Xi smiled faintly, her eyes devoid of warmth. "You know Xu Xingluo used you to do many things, and you also know why she was detained. Are you sure she's really crazy, and not just pretending to be crazy?"
Xu Xingluo committed a crime, and the law has the final say, not me."
Tian Tian argued: "But you obviously have a way to reduce her guilt. She saved Huo Xingzhou's life back then. Just think of it as a good deed for you and your wife, isn't it? I know she has her own little tricks and has used me. But after all, we are good sisters who grew up together..."
Qiao Xi's almond-shaped eyes looked at her curiously over and over again, and Tian Tian felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze.
"Tian Tian, I can cure facial paralysis. But I can't cure the Madonna syndrome. You don't feel pain until the knife falls on you! Don't try to persuade others to be kind without experiencing their suffering. That's all I have to say. We won't have any chance to meet again in the future."
Tian Tian was very embarrassed by what she said.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." A faint anger rose in Qiao Xi's heart, and he didn't want to say another word to her.
"Qiao Xi! I'm just discussing this with you! Don't leave yet..."
Tian Tian watched Qiao Xi leave without looking back, biting her lip and wondering if she had really done something wrong?
She just couldn't bear to leave a way out for others.
Besides, Xu Xingluo is already pitiful enough.
…
Qiao Xi quickly left the corridor, picked up her things and walked out of the hospital.
Seeing that her pretty face was expressionless and without a smile, Old Chen knew that she might have had an unpleasant experience in the hospital.
"Young Madam, please get in the car."
Lao Chen opened the car door and asked her to get in.
"Thank you." Qiao Xi got into the car, put her bag aside and asked, "Is Mr. Huo at the company or at home?"
Old Chen started the car and said, "I'm entertaining guests. Tonight I'm drinking with Young Master Zhong who came from the capital. Young Master Zhou got everyone in his project team drunk last night, and they want to get even. So Young Master Zhong is personally taking action, and our young master has to follow suit."
Qiao Xi was a little worried: "Does that mean I have to drink a lot of alcohol?"
Old Chen laughed and said, "That depends on how aggressive the two bosses are. If neither of them is willing to submit, they'll just keep forcing the other down."
Qiao Xi said as soon as she heard it: "Do you know where they are entertaining? Why don't we just go there."
Drinking is harmful to your health.
Huo Xingzhou's stomach was not very good, and she had tried her best to take care of him on a daily basis.
I got drunk last time.
Old Chen turned the steering wheel and said, "They are at the Shanhai Banquet tonight."
"Then let's go."
Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said.
During the evening rush hour, the car was moving very slowly. By the time Qiao Xi arrived at Shanhaiyan, the night was dark and the lights were just coming on.
After asking around, Lao Chen found out it was box 555.
Qiao Xi followed him inside and listened to him say, "The front desk said that three rounds of drinks have been served in room 555. Today's drinks consumption is over a million."
Qiao Xi frowned.
She thought that she had to see what Young Master Zhong in the imperial capital was capable of!
Why does he like drinking so much!
