Chapter 7 Qiao Xi, They All Have to Beg You
actor?
Qiao Xi spoke with difficulty: "Are all you businessmen so insidious and cunning?"
Huo Xingzhou smoothed the pleats on his trouser legs and said, "It's a small win, a big win. All's fair in war."
Qiao Xi suddenly realized that it wouldn't cost much to hire some actors, and his project was what was valuable.
"Thanks."
She said it sincerely.
After hearing the thank you, Huo Xingzhou felt much more relieved.
The car quickly arrived at the hospital, and Qiao Xi rushed to arrange for her to be admitted. The old lady's body had been worn out since her youth, her vital organs were visible, and her vitality was already failing. Her traditional Chinese medicine methods could not save her, so she could only desperately save money and rely on strong Western medicine drugs to prolong her life.
"Nannan, I won't be hospitalized." The old man's skinny hands pulled Qiao Xi's clothes, "Don't worry, I'll just go back to the countryside."
"No. Grandma, you have to be obedient. The doctor said your illness can be cured." Qiao Xi said firmly, "I'll go pay the bill, you lie down."
When she passed by Huo Xingzhou, she paused.
But in the end he said nothing and walked out of the ward.
"Master Huo, I'm sorry to bother you today." The old lady leaned on the soft pillow, her cloudy eyes full of kindness and humility.
"She married me after all."
Huo Xingzhou sat in a wheelchair, his long, slender hands folded and hanging on his knees.
"This child has a miserable life. Her father died young, and her mother abandoned her for wealth. She relies on kind people to support her schooling. She is so sensible."
As Grandma Qiao spoke, she wiped away her tears with her rough hands.
Huo Xingzhou thought that when she kissed and touched him, she didn't look well behaved at all.
"She has a straightforward personality and would rather break than bend. She doesn't know how to please others. She is soft-hearted and doesn't tolerate harshness, but if someone does her a favor, she'll be eager to return it tenfold. Master Huo, could you please protect her a little?"
Huo Xingzhou listened to her words and responded in a low voice.
The cold words in the investigation report on Qiao Xi became vivid and lively under the old man's narration.
…
After spending most of the day with the old lady, Qiao Xicai and Huo Xingzhou left in the evening.
On the way back.
The light inside the low-key car was dim.
A man's voice broke the silence.
"Do you still mean what you said before?" A glimmer spread in his dark eyes. "Heal my legs for me?"
"Forget it!"
Qiao Xi wanted to swear to the heavens, "I promise, I will cure your legs."
This time, Huo Xingzhou believed it.
How could he not believe that Cheng Han, the master of traditional Chinese medicine, had trained her as a female disciple for many years?
"Who is your master?"
Huo Xingzhou had a guess in his heart, but he still wanted to hear her say it in person.
Qiao Xi blushed deeply and explained, "I learned this from my neighbor, Grandpa Cheng. Although he's not as famous as Mr. Cheng Han, he taught me very attentively, and he's cured everyone in the village."
really.
She didn't know how powerful her master was, and she didn't know that Cheng Han had changed his name and lived in the countryside.
"I believe you." Huo Xingzhou said lightly.
fine.
He covered up the old man's whereabouts, and no one could connect the country old man with the traditional Chinese medicine doctor Cheng Han. This also meant not to disturb Mr. Cheng's later life.
"The old lady's condition is complicated, so I've found a nurse to take care of her long-term. You can visit her in the hospital when you have time. The medical expenses will be deducted from your consultation fee."
"Mr. Huo, I'm so grateful to you." Her clear eyes were filled with joy. "Thank you for trusting my medical skills."
"Qiao Xi, they will all have to beg you from now on."
Those who are blind do not know what treasures they are missing.
He was too.
Qiao Xi didn't understand what he meant, but she felt that his voice was like the moonlight rising from the lake on a spring night, rippling the waves and gradually warming people's hearts.
Huo Xingzhou took out an agreement from the electric drawer of the center console and handed it to Qiao Xi.
She looked down and saw the words "Marriage Agreement" in bold. The agreement stipulated that they would divorce after his legs healed, with a maximum time limit of three months. He would also give her a house and a check for one million as a token of his gratitude.
"If you have no objection, just sign it. I don't want to owe anyone a favor, so this can be considered a confidentiality agreement." This was the agreement he drafted after reading the investigation report yesterday.
Qiao Xi looked up at him and signed in a delicate yet sharp handwriting.
"Mr. Huo, it's a pleasure to work with you."
She has beautiful almond-shaped eyes, and when she smiles, she looks very bright and clear.
Huo Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips into a faint smile.
My heart, which has never trembled before, feels like it is being stroked by a soft feather.
"Qiao Xi, this is the choice given to you."
He wrote this agreement just to give her the power to choose and not to be bound by marriage.
At that time, it doesn't matter whether she wants to leave or not.
…
After the two returned home, Aunt Qian hurried to greet them.
"Master Zhou Yu is here to visit you."
"Um."
Qiao Xi pushed his wheelchair in along the ramp. As soon as she passed the entrance, she saw a handsome man sitting on the sofa. There were a few messy bangs on his smooth forehead. His eye sockets were deep and his pupils were dark blue, like he was a mixed-race.
"Huo Er."
Zhou Yu stood up, looked at Qiao Xi and said, "This is my sister-in-law, right?"
He came here specifically to see what kind of woman was capable of allowing Huo Xingzhou to mobilize his private forces and disguise herself as an extra.
"This is Zhou Yu, an unimportant person. You don't need to be polite to him." Huo Xingzhou introduced him to her out of courtesy.
"Hey, what do you mean I'm an insignificant person! I've worked like a slave for you for so many years!" If it weren't for his cover-up, Huo Xingzhou's other identity would have been exposed long ago.
Qiao Xi raised the corners of her mouth, and her delicate eyebrows were full of smiles.
Zhou Yu felt a little embarrassed when he saw this.
"Huo Er, I have something serious to talk to you about."
Qiao Xi said considerately: "You guys chat, I'll go back to my room to prepare." Preparation for acupuncture treatment.
Huo Xingzhou nodded.
Zhou Yu watched her leave before he dared to speak rudely: "What preparations are you making? Preparations for consummating your marriage?"
"roll!"
He chuckled twice and said, "Is she really a disciple of the traditional Chinese medicine doctor? I really can't tell, God is quite kind to you. Don't you think she looks a bit like Xu..."
"If you have nothing else to do, get out of here."
"No, I'm here to report to you on Tianyuan Group's quarterly..."
…
Su family.
Su Weiwei was in a bad mood and threw her cosmetics all over the floor.
"Bitch! Why?" Su Weiwei was jealous, but she repeatedly comforted herself. Huo Xingzhou was already disabled, and Huo Beiting was the best choice.
Buzz buzz buzz.
The phone on the dressing table vibrated desperately. Su Weiwei took a deep breath when she saw the name, picked up the phone, and cried out in a squeezed voice, "Brother Beiting, Huo Xingzhou is too much! He brought..."
"Didn't get what I wanted?" Huo Beiting was not so patient. "If the Su family can't get what I want, I can't marry you."
Su Weiwei's face froze.
"Brother Beiting, I let Qiao Xi marry in your place because of you."
"If nothing happens, hang up."
"Wait!" Su Weiwei's eyes flashed with viciousness. "I have another idea! This time, I'm going to make the Huo family's second branch beg you on their knees and hand over the Project Transfer Agreement with both hands."
Su Weiwei spoke hurriedly, and Huo Beiting on the other end of the phone was very satisfied.
"Su Weiwei, you are much more ruthless than I thought!"
This move is called cutting the grass at its roots.
