Chapter 111 All men are bad!
Did Mr. Huo call to explain to her?
At that moment, many thoughts flashed through Qiao Xi's mind. She mustered up her courage and prepared to ask all the questions in her heart.
then.
Qiao Xi pressed the answer button and said in a normal voice, "Hello, Mr. Huo."
"Hello, Madam. I'm Chen Xun."
A strange male voice came from the other end of the phone, and Qiao Xi felt indescribably lost.
Not him.
"Hello."
"Mr. Huo will have a secret meeting with the Zhong family soon. The Zhong family is cautious and will use a signal jammer in the hotel. Mr. Huo probably won't have many opportunities to contact you. If you have anything to say, please wait until Mr. Huo returns home."
Chen Xun said formally.
"Oh, I understand." Qiao Xi lowered her eyes. Chen Xun's meaning was very clear. Don't call him during this period of time.
Does he know about the online interview about the Star-Moon Foundation?
Chen Xun on the other end of the phone hung up and deleted the call records.
Qiao Xi looked at the black screen of her phone. She thought she would get an explanation.
If he admitted that he really couldn't let go of Xu Xingluo, then she would... stop.
at this time.
There was a noise outside the villa.
"Ma'am, you can't go in there!"
"You don't have an appointment, you can't enter without permission!"
When Qiao Xi looked up, she saw Zhao Yuzhen, who was dressed simply and holding a child in her arms.
"Xixi! I want to talk to you!"
Zhao Yuzhen was lying face down behind the guardrail, with her face collagen lost and several wrinkles appearing on it.
"Mrs. Huo, this woman insisted on coming in. Mr. Huo instructed us to pay special attention to the safety of your home when he left," the security guard explained.
Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said, "Let her in. I know her."
"Oh, okay."
"Xixi."
Zhao Yuzhen followed Qiao Xi into the living room, holding the crying baby.
Qiao Xi poured her a glass of warm water, sat on the sofa and said, "Aunt Qian is not here, so I can't entertain you. What do you want to see me about?"
Her eyes fell on Zhao Yuzhen, who was gently coaxing the baby.
This child must be Su Heng's illegitimate child. She was so considerate to her husband's illegitimate child, but treated her like a monster.
It turns out that she can also be a gentle and generous mother.
"Xixi, I...I'm here to say goodbye to you." Zhao Yuzhen said with a wry smile, "Before I leave, I want to talk to you."
Qiao Xi looked indifferent when he heard this.
"Xixi, I know you resent me. As a mother, I really feel sorry for you."
Zhao Yuzhen took out a topaz pendant from her bag and put it into Qiao Xi's hand. Qiao Xi looked down and saw that the topaz was pure in color and as lustrous as fat.
She had been brought up in the Huo family for so long that she knew it was something of inestimable value.
"What do you mean? Compensation?" Qiao Xi asked.
"This originally belonged to you." Zhao Yuzhen said slowly, "Keep it as a keepsake."
Qiao Xi held the topaz tightly, originally thinking that Zhao Yuzhen was here to ask for money.
I didn't expect...it was to send her something.
"You are Madam Huo now, I shouldn't say these things. But..." Zhao Yuzhen said with tears in her eyes, "Huo Xingzhou and Xu Xingluo have been entangled for many years, I am afraid you will suffer."
"Women should rely on themselves. There is no good ending for those who depend on men. I am living proof of this!"
"You are the disciple of Cheng Han, the traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and you have a special skill! A woman should not only have love, but also a career! All men are bad!"
Zhao Yuzhen's words were sincere and from the bottom of her heart, and she was clearly the image of a loving mother.
Qiao Xi's throat tightened, and she asked hoarsely, "What did you do so far?"
"I'm sorry, Xixi."
Qiao Xi waited for more than 20 years and finally received this sincere "I'm sorry", but it was too late.
She no longer felt much of a stir at being late.
Zhao Yuzhen gave her several more earnest instructions, and finally, reluctantly, she was about to leave with the child in her arms.
Qiao Xi stuffed a bank card into the child's swaddling clothes.
Inside was the savings she had saved from her medical treatment. The last time Aunt Qian mentioned the Su family's bankruptcy to her, she had prepared it.
Just consider it as alimony for Zhao Yuzhen. From now on, we will go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other.
After Zhao Yuzhen left, the living room quickly became deserted.
Qiao Xi sat stiffly for a long time before finally picking up her phone and calling the hospital: "Hello, I'd like to participate in the free clinic."
…
Two days later.
The free clinic team from Haicheng People's Hospital had assembled. Two buses headed to remote townships within Haicheng, and Qiao Xi was assigned to the poorest, Longtan Township.
It took Qiao Xi four or five hours of driving to get to her destination. As soon as she got out of the car, her cell phone signal was spotty, and the messages she sent were spinning in circles.
A young male doctor traveling with me lamented, "The internet signal here is so bad! I can't even send a message to my girlfriend to let her know I'm safe."
The village director who greeted us said sheepishly, "It's been raining heavily lately, and the base station has been washed away. The mobile company will send someone to repair it once the weather clears up. Doctors, please bear with me for a while. I'll take you there and get you settled."
Although this place was poor, the village provided them with clean bungalows, one room per person, and specially arranged for villagers to cook and wash dishes for them.
The place for consultation and storage of instruments was chosen to be a nearby school.
As soon as Qiao Xi got off the car, she heard a notice on the radio about free physical examinations tomorrow, asking all villagers to arrive on time.
The male doctor smiled and said, "You guys really take this seriously!"
"We don't have the necessary conditions in the countryside, and we don't dare go to a big hospital for treatment. Thanks to you guys coming!" The village director smiled naively, "This is a great blessing!"
Qiao Xi curved her lips and smiled. The haze and depression of love in her heart were dispelled.
If you advance, you can save the world; if you retreat, you can save the people. If you can't be a good prime minister, you should be a good doctor.
Perhaps this is the meaning of practicing medicine.
"Dr. Qiao, come and have dinner!"
“Here I come!”
…
the next day.
A group of people walked out of the Imperial Capital Hotel. The man in the lead was tall and slender, with a noble and proud demeanor.
"Chen Xun, cell phone." Huo Xingzhou stretched out his hand, and Chen Xun put the cell phone in his hand.
Huo Xingzhou looked through the call records, frowned and asked, "Didn't family call?" He wanted to ask about Qiao Xi.
In the past few days, the illegitimate son of the Zhong family has placed a signal jammer in the hotel, fearing that something might go wrong. If the Huo family wants to expand their territory, they can only follow the other party's rules.
"No." Chen Xun lowered his head to hide his guilty conscience.
The man directly found Qiao Xi's number and called her.
"Sorry, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." Huo Xingzhou's face darkened when he heard the busy tone on the phone.
He called Zhou Yu again and asked, "Where is Qiao Xi?"
Zhou Yu was awakened from the midst of a life of feasting and revelry, "You didn't know? Qiao Xi went to the countryside to provide free medical treatment. She'll be gone for three or four days. Didn't she inform you, her husband?"
