Chapter 721 Dead Green Tea
Huo Xingzhou glanced at him and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
Wan Jiang swallowed and struggled to speak: "Boss Huo, if that's the case, I'll tell you."
"explain."
"The last time you were alone with Master Zhong for a while, Master Zhong's wound opened and started bleeding. He also had a high fever and vomited blood in the middle of the night. I was terrified just watching that scene. Could you...could you please not go in today?"
Wan Jiang almost knelt down to beg Huo Xingzhou.
Qiao Xi turned to look at Huo Xingzhou and said softly, "Assistant Wan, I don't think Xingzhou would hit anyone, let alone bully a patient."
The second half of the sentence doesn't sound very confident.
Qiao Xi knew that Huo Xingzhou would be jealous and angry, and she would not take action, but the words he said might... not be pleasant to hear.
"Yes. Mr. Huo didn't hit anyone, but I don't know what he said to our Young Master Zhong. Our Young Master Zhong was so angry that he couldn't even eat. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot."
Wan Jiang had never seen Zhong Yi so angry.
I’m almost memorizing it!
Qiao Xi held Huo Xingzhou's hand and said apologetically, "Assistant Wan, I'm so sorry."
"I can't bear that. Miss Qiao, you don't need to apologize to me. You are also our Master Zhong's great benefactor, but today, no matter what I say, you can't let Mr. Huo enter the ward again. I'm afraid that Master Zhong will have problems again after he has finally recovered. How about you go in alone..."
Qiao Xi took the thermos from Huo Xingzhou and handed it to Wan Jiang.
"Assistant Wan, this is for you. I have to rush to the free medical consultation in the square, so I won't go in to disturb Ayi. We'll come see him next time." Qiao Xi originally wanted to tell Zhong Yi about Lu Yingxue and Zhong Lingxiao.
But when he heard Wan Jiang say that Zhong Yi was so angry, he changed his mind temporarily.
Let's wait until he's in better condition.
"Why?"
Wan Jiang was a little anxious, "Miss Qiao, why don't you say a few words to our Master Zhong?"
"No, there will be a chance later."
"This medicinal meal was made by you personally. You have the final say on how much to eat. Our Master Zhong has mentioned it several times and must personally thank you. I..."
Qiao Xi smiled and declined. "There's no need for such a distant relationship between Ayi and me. Besides, I taught Xiaoyuan how to make these medicinal dishes, not stewed them myself. I've also been recuperating lately. Assistant Wan, we'll be leaving first."
"Miss Qiao! Qiao..."
"Wan Jiang, is Xixi here?" Zhong Yi's voice came from inside the ward, "Let them in!"
Once Zhong Yi spoke, Qiao Xi could no longer leave at will.
Huo Xingzhou had a faint smile on his face, but he was already cursing in his heart.
Xixi?
Is he worthy of shouting?
Wasn't it because he found out that Qiao Xi didn't want to see him alone that he had to compromise and invite them in?
Huo Xingzhou saw through Zhong Yi's thoughts clearly.
"Xingzhou?" Qiao Xi looked at Huo Xingzhou, waiting for him to make the final decision.
Huo Xingzhou's face was very generous, and his smile did not fade: "Then let's go in and take a look. I see that he speaks with full energy, so he should have recovered well. You can reconsider what you want to say to him."
"good."
Qiao Xi felt relieved when she heard him say that.
Wan Jiang pushed the door open and said, "Mr. Huo, please come in, Miss Qiao."
"Thanks."
Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou entered the ward one after another, and saw Zhong Yi lying weakly on the bed at a glance.
His complexion was better than the previous few days. He looked at them and said, "I just heard some noise. Why didn't you come into the hospital?"
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "I'm afraid I'll piss you off again. I heard you really don't want to see me, so we decided to avoid suspicion."
"Wan Jiang is just talking nonsense. I'm not that fragile."
Zhong Yi stopped arguing with Huo Xingzhou and instead looked at Qiao Xi and said, "Thank you for the medicinal food you've been giving me lately. I'm feeling much better now. Otherwise, I don't know how long I'd have to stay in bed. I heard that today is your first time representing the Chinese Medicine Association for a free clinic?"
"Yes, that's right."
Qiao Xi's expression was friendly, but not overly intimate.
"I hope everything goes smoothly for you." Zhong Yi said sincerely, "Your reputation in the imperial capital is growing day by day, and the Lu family will definitely not accept it. They are capable of anything. On the surface, Lu Yingxue is an ethereal female Hua Tuo who saves people from suffering, but you know what she is like in private. She was responsible for Grandma Qiao's death."
Therefore, today's free clinic may not go smoothly.
"I know. The Chinese Medicine Association has arranged security. Xingzhou has also mixed in some of his own people. I will take care of myself no matter what."
She is pregnant.
Zhong Yi's eyes glanced at her belly casually, and when he thought that there was Huo Xingzhou's child inside, his heart ached.
"Ayi."
Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell him about it.
"What's wrong?"
Qiao Xi took out the leather envelope from her bag and handed it to him. "This might be useful to you. Take a look at it after we leave."
She was afraid that Zhong Yi would feel embarrassed.
No matter how vicious Lu Yingxue was, she was still his nominal fiancée. And Zhong Lingxiao was his half-brother. The two of them were getting together to deliberately embarrass Zhong Yi.
Treat him as a dead man!
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Zhong Yi has always been unruly and unruly, but he listens to Qiao Xi the most.
Huo Xingzhou felt a pang of disgust watching him speak. He was clearly a vixen, yet he had to act like a little white rabbit in front of Qiao Xi.
"It's getting late, we should rush to the square now. We also need to make some preparations in advance, otherwise it will be a lot of trouble if we are late because of the crowds." Huo Xingzhou reminded lightly from the side.
"OK."
Qiao Xi nodded and said, "Ayi, we'll leave first."
"Take care. I'd be happy if you could just come and see me when you're free. If you're busy, you could just give me a call. I don't have many people looking after me in the hospital, and it's really... too boring."
"Okay, I'll come see you when I have time."
Seeing Zhong Yi’s pitiful look, Huo Xingzhou cursed inwardly, “You green tea girl!”
He reached out and held Qiao Xi's hand tightly, interlocking their fingers.
"Qiao Xi and I will come to see you together."
Zhong Yi said with a forced smile: "Thank you very much for your concern, Mr. Huo."
"You're welcome. You and Qiao Xi are as close as siblings. As Qiao Xi's husband, it's only natural for me to care about my brothers."
Pooh!
There was a smile on Zhong Yi's face, but there was a cold light in his eyes.
What kind of brothers!
Qiao Xi gently pulled Huo Xingzhou's hand, indicating that it was time for him to leave.
Huo Xingzhou did not insist, and the two of them quickly left the ward.
When Zhong Yi saw Huo Xingzhou's figure disappear from his sight, his handsome face turned completely dark.
"Wan Jiang, what do you think he meant? Was he trying to intimidate me? He still wants to be my brother? He clearly knew that I only wanted to see Qiao Xi, yet he had to butt in and make things difficult for me! Ahem…"
"Mr. Zhong, please calm down! The doctor said you shouldn't get angry anymore, it's bad for your health!"
"I'll be pissed off to death by Huo Xingzhou sooner or later!"
"It's not that serious. I think Miss Qiao is still thinking about you. Even if you have to go to the free clinic today, please make time to come to the hospital."
Zhong Yi calmed his breathing, thinking that the anger in Qiao Xi's heart had subsided a little.
He lowered his eyes to look at the cowhide envelope beside him.
What on earth could it be that made Qiao Xi be so cautious?
