Chapter 161 He asked her if she was soft
Shu Xue tried hard to suppress the bitterness and anger in her heart and said, "I'm fine."
She clumsily changed the subject, looked at Qiao Xi and asked, "Do you think Liu Zongyun in Ward 2121 will be successfully rescued?"
Qiao Xi hid his doubts in his heart, and his thoughts were stimulated by her words.
She recalled the look on Liu Zongyun's face in the emergency room and said, "Maybe. He has a strong desire to live."
When she entered, Liu Zongyun stretched out his index finger with great difficulty to hook her sterile gown. Qiao Xi only then realized that he could move his fingers a little, but the amplitude was too small.
Those cloudy and dim eyes exuded the light of survival.
Qiao Xi thought, God will not let down those who work hard.
Shu Xue sighed, "If he hadn't made it, Xu Xingluo would have indirectly killed her uncle. She would probably feel guilty for the rest of her life."
"Um."
Qiao Xi took a deep breath, and her heart suddenly felt blocked.
She didn't have much work to do today, so she stayed with Shu Xue at the nurses' station and waited for news from the emergency room.
Two hours later.
Finally, news came from the other side that Liu Zongyun's condition was temporarily stable and he would be sent to the intensive care unit for observation.
The big stone in Qiao Xi's heart also fell.
Shu Xue smiled at her, "You should feel relieved now, right? Xu Xingluo and Liu Huimin were so rude to you, why are you still paying special attention to Liu Zongyun?"
There was a faint smile in Qiao Xi's eyes: "I don't know."
She looked down at the text message on her phone and said to Shu Xue, "I'm going to be out for something later. I've already asked for leave. If anything happens, call me and I'll rush to the hospital."
"Okay, don't worry."
Qiao Xi put away her phone and hurried out of the hospital.
…
A stretched Lincoln was parked in front of the hospital. When Ah Zhong, the butler of the Huo family's old house, saw her appear, he opened the car door and said politely, "Young Madam, be careful not to hit your head."
"Thanks."
Qiao Xi got in the car and drove the Lincoln towards the Huo family's old house.
Ever since Huo Xingzhou severed his relationship with Old Master Huo, she only came to the old house once a week. Every time, Butler Zhong would personally pick him up at the hospital gate.
More than an hour later.
The car stopped at the door of the heavy and ancient old house. A Zhong opened the door and Qiao Xi got out and followed him in.
I met my former aunt Wang Fengxian head-on.
She was dressed simply, without her former flamboyance. She looked at Qiao Xi with a cold gaze, as if filled with hatred.
Huo Jianjun was imprisoned and Huo Beiting was deported. Without the old man's permission, it would be impossible for him to return to China in this lifetime.
Qiao Xi walked around her and went inside.
Following the butler upstairs, he entered Huo Weiguo's room.
"You're here." Huo Weiguo's voice sounded vicissitudes of life. He looked much better, and the cold attacks were getting less severe. After so many years, he finally experienced the taste of being alive.
"I'll give you an acupuncture."
Qiao Xi put down the needle bag, and A Zhong skillfully helped the old man get ready.
Huo Weiguo was lying on the bed while Qiao Xi twisted a thin needle and inserted it into his acupuncture point, with a serious face the whole time.
Huo Weiguo couldn't help but ask, "I heard that you rescued Liu Zongyun?"
Qiao Xi said calmly, "He's awake, but it's uncertain whether he can be saved. His condition was completely delayed. If he had gotten to the hospital earlier, he might have woken up sooner."
The old man laughed and said, "You are just a modest child. I know everything that happened back then."
He recalled the past with many emotions: "You saved Liu Zongyun, but have you considered the consequences?"
"What are the consequences?"
Qiao Xi looked at him puzzledly.
The old man was surprised that she didn't know yet.
He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, "It's nothing. Maybe because you are a junior, they won't take it too seriously. Cheng Han is your master, he will definitely protect you."
The elders probably wanted to protect her and didn't want her to panic, so they didn't tell her about the consequences for the time being.
Qiao Xi frowned slightly.
They all seemed to know it, even Grandpa Cheng was hesitant.
Huo Weiguo looked at her and said earnestly, "I heard that Xingzhou gave you a clinic, so you should take advantage of this opportunity to build up your connections and prestige. He, a businessman, can't protect you all the time."
One is the bloodless business world, and the other is the strictly regulated traditional Chinese medicine community.
If the Northern faction led by Lu Bannong really wants to hold Qiao Xi accountable for breaking the rules, the power of the Tianyuan Group may not be able to protect her much.
Unless she is willing to quit the traditional Chinese medicine industry.
Huo Weiguo felt that Qiao Xi would not accept this.
Her eyes lit up every time she gave me a shot.
Qiao Xi didn't understand what he meant, but still responded, "I understand."
She inserted a row of long needles into Huo Weiguo's body. Suddenly, Ah Zhong came in from outside and said, "Old man, Master Xingzhou is here."
Huo Weiguo chuckled twice: "He still doesn't trust me."
The words fell.
The man in a suit walked in with long legs and a stern demeanor.
He looked at Qiao Xi and asked, "Is it done?"
Qiao Xi nodded: "Okay, but it will take another half an hour to get it..."
"Anyone can do something like removing a needle." Huo Xingzhou took her hand and said, completely ignoring Old Man Huo, "Let's go home first."
Old Master Huo lay on the bed, unable to turn over.
He roared, "You little bastard! Do you think I'm air?"
Huo Xingzhou glanced at him indifferently: "We have severed our relationship."
Old Master Huo took two deep breaths and said in a deep voice, "They are also blood relatives. I was wrong. Can you please let bygones be bygones?"
It's rare that he bowed his head sincerely.
But Huo Xingzhou said calmly: "It's hard to recover what's spilled."
He pulled Qiao Xi and walked out.
Old Master Huo's eyes were wet. He would have to spend the rest of his life repenting and atonement for his bias in the first half of his life.
Outside the old house.
Qiao Xi got into Huo Xingzhou's weathered Rolls-Royce and asked, "Mr. Huo, are you really not going to forgive him? He's quite pitiful at his age."
He closed his eyes and said, "He asked for it."
Qiao Xi burst out laughing, and she imitated Huo Xingzhou's previous behavior, reaching out and touching his lips.
"It turns out that a dead duck's mouth is soft."
Huo Xingzhou's eyes were dangerous. He casually opened his thin lips, bit her index finger, and looked at her.
Qiao Xi was stunned.
His fingers were sensitive to touch, and his soft lips and tongue swept across her fingertips, causing her whole body to tremble as if an electric shock had passed through her.
She quickly pulled back her fingers and curled them into fists.
Hot and wet.
His cold, pale face was filled with a sense of self-righteous indifference as he spoke calmly, "Is it soft?"
Qiao Xi just felt her scalp tingling.
soft.
She subconsciously rubbed her thumb against her index finger, feeling a little overwhelmed by his unique and dissolute demeanor.
Seeing that she was embarrassed and didn't answer, Huo Xingzhou became more aggressive and asked.
"Do you like your duck soft or hard?"
