Chapter 1020 Extra 85: Huo Family’s Fight for Favor
"Master, please tell me what you want. As long as it's within my reach, I'll do my best."
Zhou Qing's serious look made Qiao Xi laugh out loud.
"It's not a big deal. Isn't it almost July?"
"Master, is this the National Medical Award Ceremony? I heard that many prestigious seniors in the industry have been invited to attend."
The number of participants in the National Medical Award Ceremony was announced at the conference itself, and Shen Xuanzhi, knowing inside information, revealed it to Qiao Xi. Many veterans were also invited to attend; they were there to meet with old friends and exchange medical expertise.
In fact, most people have a scale in their hearts about who will get this honor.
They know who it belongs to.
"Yes, I will go to the imperial capital. The time is uncertain, maybe one or two days to return. If other matters arise, it will take three to five days. This matter must be announced in advance to avoid missing patients. After I leave, you will be in charge of the Chinese medicine clinic. With you and a few seniors I personally invited in, it shouldn't be a big deal. If there is anything we can't handle, please call me."
"Master, I will try not to disturb you by phone. When you are not here, I will definitely take good care of our Chinese medicine clinic."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
“It’s trust in me.”
Zhou Qing had nothing but admiration for Qiao Xi.
No matter what task Qiao Xi gave her, she would do her best to complete it.
"Get off work early and don't be so tired. There's still a long time to go, let's take it slow." Qiao Xi looked at her and said with relief.
After so many years, she finally cultivated a good seedling.
The Chinese medicine clinic will get better and better in the future.
"Understood, Master."
Zhou Qing nodded heavily.
"Then I'll go back first. Che is still waiting for me outside."
"Master, take care."
Zhou Qing still had to stay in the Chinese medicine clinic to finish up the work. She was young and eager to work, and was willing to help with anything.
Qiao Xi walked towards the hall.
I saw the child sitting in the spacious and bright hall, leaning on a chair, his little head nodding.
Like dozing off.
No matter how capable a five-year-old child is, his energy is limited.
I really don’t know why he has to go to the Chinese medicine clinic to suffer. Qianqian knows how to be happy at home.
Qiao Xi walked over, patted his head gently and shouted, "A Che, wake up. We're going home..."
The child opened his sleepy eyes, with wet tears hanging in the corners of his eyes.
"Mother……"
"Let's go home first. Are you hungry?" It was too late today and she hadn't eaten yet. She almost forgot about her son who was waiting outside.
A feeling of guilt welled up in Qiao Xi's heart.
"Not very hungry."
"Then let's go home for dinner. Aunt Qian must have asked the chef to prepare something delicious."
"Um."
The child reached out and hooked his finger with Qiao Xi's, and the mother and child walked into the night.
She didn't ask Huo Xingzhou to pick her up, saying she would go home. But usually after Qiao Xi said that, the man would still drive over.
However, there were no Rolls-Royces outside at this time tonight, which meant that Huo Xingzhou might not have gotten off work yet.
Qiao Xi drove an ordinary, low-key car out of the parking lot of the Chinese medicine clinic. After she passed the driving test, she sometimes drove to work by herself.
"Ache, sit down."
The child was placed in a safety seat in the back, and he was a little dissatisfied.
I really want to sit in the passenger seat next to my mom.
"Mom, are you going to the capital?" he muttered.
The child only revealed some of his innocence when he was alone with Qiao Xi. He was completely open and honest in front of his mother.
"Yes, I'm going. I'll go there next week. Since you guys are on vacation now, I'll take you there too."
"Mom, can you please let my sister go?"
"Why, don't you like Uncle Zhong?" Qiao Xi saw his reluctant expression in the rearview mirror and found it a little funny. Qiao Xi knew that the child didn't like Zhong Yi that much because his face was more similar to Huo Xingzhou's. Zhong Yi would always tease him, but never too late.
"Uncle Zhong is nice, but I want to stay with my mom during the summer vacation. I see my sister really wants to go to the capital, so let her go alone."
"Are you not worried about your sister and why are you staying in the capital and not willing to come back?"
The child was very distressed.
This is really possible.
Because Uncle Zhong had some kind of magic potion that my sister had been fed, she loved him very much. Every night she would clamor to call Uncle Zhong, as if she really regarded him as her own father.
When we parted last year, my sister was reluctant to leave and wanted to stay in the capital for a while longer.
"Ache, if you don't go, your sister will be spoiled to the sky. You have to take care of her and don't let her be dazzled by the prosperity of the imperial capital." Qiao Xi also mentioned to Zhong Yi privately that he should not spoil the child so much.
It will spoil her.
But Zhong Yi agreed and continued to pamper Qian Qian like a little princess. This was a treatment she could not get in the Huo family. Although Huo Xingzhou would spoil the little girl, there were still many things she was not allowed to do.
"Mom, how long will you stay in the imperial capital? Will you stay with us?"
Qiao Xi said apologetically, "I can't stay for a few days. So I can only ask our Ah Che to help..."
"All right."
The child looked embarrassed, but finally agreed.
After all, he is the brother and has to take care of his unreliable sister.
"I know our Ah Che is the most sensible. After Mom finishes work in the capital, I will accompany you to travel for two days. Okay?"
Two days was the only time Qiao Xi could squeeze out, and she had to return to the Chinese medicine clinic in Haicheng as soon as possible.
"Um."
Qiao Xi coaxed her son who was reluctant to go to the imperial capital and drove to the Huo family's villa.
Huo Xingzhou did not go home as expected.
And that heartless little Qianqian had already finished dinner and returned to her room.
Aunt Qian came over, took Qiao Xi's bag and said, "She was tired from playing and sweating. I washed her and fed her something, and then she went back to her room and fell asleep."
Like a little pig.
"It's better if she sleeps."
Sometimes Qiao Xi couldn't stand Qianqian's chattering, especially after finishing a day's work.
She bent down and said to Huo Yanche, "Ache, let's go eat something. Mommy will take you to take a bath later."
The child nodded obediently and said, "Let me sleep with Mommy, otherwise I'll wake up my sister if I go back to my room. It's a good opportunity for Mommy to tell me what we're going to do in the capital."
"Okay."
Qiao Xi did not realize that Bai Qiehei's son was also taking the opportunity to win favor, but instead thought he was very considerate.
After dinner, Ache enjoyed his mother's thoughtful bathing treatment, slept on the big bed in the master bedroom, and fell into a sweet dream.
It wasn't until Huo Xingzhou returned late at night and saw the small thing on the bed that he slowly frowned...
