Chapter 1041 Extra 39: The Girl Next to Him
Zhong Lingxiao's face froze.
He opened his mouth but didn't dare to say anything else.
Whenever Zhong Yi came over, if he was in a good mood, he would chat with him. If he was in a bad mood, he would humiliate him. But this was the first time he was so rude. It was obvious that he was not in a good mood.
"I like it..."
"What qualifications do you have to beg me? And why do you think I would bother Qiao Xi with your affairs? And... when I crippled your legs, I deliberately delayed and didn't treat you in time, just to stop you from thinking about it. Your legs will never be healed! Even if Hua Tuo were reborn, it wouldn't be of any use, and Qiao Xi wouldn't be able to save you."
"But Huo Xingzhou..."
"Are you worthy enough to compare with Huo Xingzhou? Even I..." I was jealous of Huo Xingzhou because he was taken such good care of by Qiao Xi.
Zhong Yi paused, looked at him and said, "You're absolutely right. It's a waste for me to keep a useless person like you by my side. It's been five years, and I don't have any more anger to vent on you. I'll place you in a nursing home under the Zhong Group, and you can live a good life there."
"No! I won't go..."
There was no one there who would take good care of him.
"It's no use for you to object. If you have the guts, go and commit suicide. Perhaps your old lover, Lu Yingxue, will still remember your past and come looking for you. I heard she's been released from prison, but I don't know where she went."
"Zhong Yi, you can't send me away. That nursing home is full of old men and women. I'd be worse off than dead there. I'm already worse off than dead..."
"It's settled. You'll be disturbing the two children by being here, and it's me who has neglected you, a big troublemaker."
For the physical and mental health of his two children, he should also get rid of Zhong Lingxiao.
It's his fault that he is usually quiet and has to make noise today.
It can be considered as bad luck for Zhongyi.
"Zhong Yi, you're mad at me because you can't have Qiao Xi! Even if I shot you, you wouldn't hate me that much! You hate me for stopping you from returning to Haicheng. You hate me for destroying Yueliang Village just because of you! You hate me for ruining your relationship with Qiao Xi and forcing you to go back to the imperial capital! Right?"
Zhong Yi looked at him with deep eyes: "Yes, you are right."
He actually didn't have much patience to chat with Zhong Lingxiao and just wanted to get rid of him like garbage.
"Are you done? This should be the last time we meet."
"Zhongyi, you can't do that to me!"
"Someone, send the young master to a nursing home."
He wasn't even willing to give him a sanatorium, but instead maliciously wanted to send him to a sanatorium with even worse conditions. Zhong Lingxiao finally broke down, a suicidal thought lingering in his mind. He might have been driven mad by rage.
"Zhong Yi, no matter how much you torture me, it can't change the fact that Qiao Xi abandoned you and threw herself into Huo Xingzhou's arms. Isn't it because of that woman that you haven't married for all these years? Just be prepared to live a lonely life, even though you have power and status. Love is the most torturous thing in the world, and you are no better than me!"
Zhong Lingxiao's mouth was full of curses.
But Zhongyi turned a deaf ear and just had him taken away.
If Zhong Yi had heard these words five years ago, her heart would still be moved.
But now, he has already let it go.
Zhong Lingxiao's words were just like an annoying fly, which had no other effect except being annoying.
Zhong Lingxiao's voice disappeared in the old house.
Wan Jiang walked into the room and reminded softly: "Mr. Zhong, the person has been sent away. We don't need to..." He gestured at his neck with his hand.
Zhong Yi raised an eyebrow: "Wan Jiang, you are getting bolder and bolder with me. You dare to touch human life?"
"I'm just offering a small suggestion. The ancients said that weeds must be removed at the root, otherwise they will spread again if given the opportunity."
"Let him be, he can't cause any trouble. If he really finds a chance to fight back in the imperial capital, then I deserve it." He knew very well that for someone like Zhong Lingxiao, living was more painful than death.
But he couldn't bear to die.
He endured for five years and even asked Qiao Xi to treat his legs.
Isn't this just trying to survive?
Then let him live in pain for the rest of his life, and consider it as atonement.
"Oh, Master, go to bed early. You have to attend the Traditional Chinese Medicine Commendation Conference tomorrow. If you go with dark circles under your eyes, Mr. Huo will definitely laugh at you."
"Don't mention Huo Xingzhou. I hate him the most."
Zhong Yi stood up and wanted to go back to the master bedroom to rest, but then said, "Send someone to clean Zhong Lingxiao's room thoroughly, throw away all the furniture inside, and send someone to redecorate it. I don't want to see any of his things or smell anything in the Zhong family's old house again."
"yes."
…
the next day.
National Medical Award Ceremony.
This was Qiao Xi's first time to come to the solemn Great Hall.
She was dressed simply, and her expression was less relaxed. Huo Xingzhou was always by her side, and those sitting around her were all renowned veterans in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Some of the older ones were even comparable to her master.
There are also some younger generations who are rising to fame.
The commendation ceremony has not started yet.
The media in the back row are already in place. These are media with good reputations. Their reports are all based on facts and there is absolutely no subjective bias.
As soon as Qiao Xi sat down, many people greeted her in a low voice.
These people were not overly noisy, and they all restrained their tempers and showed their most kind and polite side. Qiao Xi had already met many of them at the Chinese Medicine Association yesterday.
She greeted everyone one by one.
Huo Xingzhou opened a glass of mineral water for her and handed it to her.
"Drink some water. My throat is hoarse. I see you have a lot of things to do today."
Qiao Xi took two sips from the water bottle and asked, "Is Ayi here?"
Seating is important.
When the commendation meeting started, even Huo Xingzhou couldn't sit next to her, let alone Zhong Yi.
The front row held the leaders of the Chinese Medicine Association and other high-ranking officials, along with those who had made significant contributions to the field. Other prominent figures were forced to move to the back row. After all, this wasn't their home turf.
No matter how much money you have, it’s useless.
"In the back."
Qiao Xi followed Huo Xingzhou's gaze and saw Zhong Yi and a young girl who was not unfamiliar to him sitting next to him.
"Is that the young lady from the Feng family?"
No wonder Qiao Xi was surprised.
There have been almost no opposite-sex people of this age around Zhong Yi, let alone someone brought specially to attend the National Medical Awards Ceremony.
Huo Xingzhou knew what Qiao Xi was thinking, so he said in a somewhat guiding tone, "For the past five years, Feng Nanxi has been working as Zhong Yi's assistant. Recently, she even replaced Wan Jiang and has been by his side every day. I saw them at the cocktail party last night, and they were very affectionate."
Qiao Xi's eyebrows curved with laughter, "Then I'll go over and say hello."
