Chapter 108 Serious Good Stuff
The elegant old lady covered her chest and said hoarsely, "Are you holding a grudge against me for torturing you before? I apologize to you. You can ask for anything you want."
"no."
Qiao Xi felt like a huge stone was pressing down on her heart. She steeled her heart and said, "Master's orders are hard to disobey. I cannot promise you."
After hearing her words, Liu Qiu Shuang had a realization: “As expected.”
Liu Qiushuang immediately lost her temper, her face gloomy as she said, "I knew it. I forced it. It was our Liu family who broke the rules first. I don't blame you."
Back then, Liu Zongyun was someone Lu Bannong had treated, and Cheng Han would not touch him.
She just couldn't bear to give up that glimmer of hope. In fact, she also knew that it would be difficult for her youngest son to wake up.
Qiao Xi frowned, it was the rules again.
She didn't know what happened that year, and Grandpa Cheng never mentioned it to her.
Just as Qiao Xi was about to ask, Aunt Qian's voice rang out from the stairs, "Miss Xu, why did you go upstairs?"
Qiao Xi and Liu Qiu Shuang's attention was drawn to that direction.
Xu Xingluo brushed her long hair and said, "I'll go take a look at the studio. There are many memories of me and Brother Xingzhou there. I didn't expect the studio to be still in its original state."
Aunt Qian said calmly, "I'm too busy at home. I'll reorganize it another day."
It's definitely not for her to keep it as it is!
"Xingluo, you are so rude. You are a guest, how can you run around?" Old Mrs. Liu pretended to be angry and scolded.
Xu Xingluo hugged her arm and said coquettishly, "I'm sorry, I forgot I was a guest. I used to come here often and I'm more familiar with this place than Miss Qiao."
She looked up at Qiao Xi again and said, "Miss Qiao, you won't mind, right?"
"care."
Qiao Xi said softly, "So next time, Miss Xu, don't run around. Xingzhou doesn't like others touching his things."
She talked about Huo Xingzhou every three sentences, and Qiao Xi felt very uncomfortable when she kept calling him "Brother Xingzhou".
Xu Xingluo pulled up a smile, but his eyes were cold and emotionless.
Liu Qiushuang said with a heavy heart, "Xiao Qiao, we're leaving first. Today, just pretend that I never asked you for help."
"Take care."
Qiao Xi did not try to keep him.
After Xu Xingluo helped Old Lady Liu leave, Qiao Xi received a call.
She said seriously to the other end of the phone: "Okay, I'll be there right away."
…
Half an hour later.
Qiao Xi took a taxi to the hospital and went straight to the conference hall.
The hospital is preparing to hold a mobilization meeting for free medical consultations and send young doctors to the countryside to do charity work and provide free medical treatment to villagers.
The conference room was packed with young doctors and nurses from various departments of the hospital. Shu Xue, who was sitting in the back row, waved at her, "Qiao Xi, over here!"
Qiao Xi quickly walked over to her and sat down beside her, asking, "Is this such a big deal?"
Shu Xue muttered quietly, "The media must cooperate in promoting the free clinic for the hospital's fiftieth anniversary. Each department must select two young doctors to go to the countryside for free clinics. Volunteers must sign up."
Qiao Xi suddenly understood.
"Qiao Xi." Shu Xue held her wrist. "Actually, the hospital leaders are interested in having you go because you've become quite famous recently. But free clinics are not easy to do, so don't agree lightly."
"Why?" Qiao Xi asked in confusion.
Shu Xue, with the air of a seasoned veteran, counseled, "The conditions in the countryside are tough. The dialect makes communication difficult, and the signal isn't great. It's easy to lose contact when it rains. Some patients are also unreasonable, aggressive, and rude."
Qiao Xi smiled when she heard this, "It's okay, I grew up in the countryside."
Shu Xue said angrily, "Qiao Xi, you're so careless! Your husband is surrounded by a bunch of vixens, and you're just going to leave like that?"
Hearing her words, Qiao Xi put away his smile.
Xu Xingluo alone was a huge threat. It was not ruled out that there were others who coveted Mr. Huo.
"Xue'er, my marriage to him was an accident. If it weren't for me, would he have found a rich lady of equal status to marry?"
"Oh my god! What's an accident? That's a match made in heaven!" Shu Xue exclaimed. "You and Huo Xingzhou are married. Don't you like him?"
"I like it." Qiao Xi said softly.
"That's it, isn't it? If you like him, don't let him go easily. Qiao Xi, you have to live up to his expectations! Huo Xingzhou is always surrounded by beautiful women! You have to..."
Shu Xue began to brainwash her, which gave Qiao Xi courage.
Finally, he patted her shoulder and said, "Registration for the free clinic will close in two days. Don't go. Leave it to the single doctors in the department."
Qiao Xi nodded: "Okay, I'll think about it."
The free clinic mobilization meeting began, and Xu Xiuyuan spoke on behalf of the hospital's senior management. Qiao Xi turned off the volume and vibration on her phone, but saw an unread message from Huo Xingzhou.
As soon as she saw the content, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Qiao Xi lowered her head and typed the following line of words: "I'm in a meeting at the hospital."
"I'll pick you up after this." Huo Xingzhou said concisely.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips, held the phone and replied, "Okay."
Seeing this, Shu Xue sighed twice, "You're inseparable. It feels like a long time since we last met. Even with all this, you're still willing to go to the countryside for a free clinic?"
Qiao Xi pinched her arm and said, "Speak less."
"You're just shy, like an old married couple." Shu Xue glanced at her, then suddenly realized something and said, "You haven't..."
Qiao Xi quickly covered her mouth and said in panic, "Be quiet."
Shu Xue touched her thumbs together and asked in a low voice, surprised, "Really? Aren't his legs healed? Are the rumors about his infertility true? Even you can't cure it?"
Qiao Xi blushed, "No, we..."
"Inexperienced? Are you shy?"
"No……"
"Qiao Xi, let's not talk about this topic anymore."
Shu Xue patted her shoulder and said, "Come to my office later. I have something good for you."
"What good stuff?"
"Some serious material. Go back and take a look." Shu Xue said, "It's absolutely high quality. I've spent many years compiling it."
After the meeting.
Shu Xue gave Qiao Xi a USB flash drive, which she held in her hand and looked at over and over again.
As he walked out of the hospital, Qiao Xi saw the familiar Rolls-Royce parked there.
The driver, Lao Chen, got out and opened the back door. The tall, slender man's fingers nimbly tapped away on his laptop.
"Mr. Huo."
Qiao Xi sat down next to him and stole a glance at his expression out of the corner of her eye.
"Why are you in the hospital?" Huo Xingzhou asked casually.
Qiao Xi thought that the list of free clinic participants had not yet been finalized, so she said, "Let's have a meeting."
"What are you holding in your hand?" The man saw a black corner in her hand.
"A USB drive and some materials." Qiao Xi asked, "Can I borrow your laptop?"
She also wanted to know what Shu Xue had sorted out.
It just so happened that Huo Xingzhou brought his computer with him.
