Chapter 583 Miss Huo is one of us
The Xie family's old lady was a little uneasy and asked quickly, "Wanling, do you think I'm dressed like this? Ask the kitchen to prepare some sweet and sour snacks."
"It's appropriate. Anything will suit you. You're having acupuncture today, and people will understand."
Madam Wanling said with a smile.
Qiao Xi asked Lao Chen to carry the medicine box, stood up and said, "Since the Xie family has guests, we will leave first."
"Doctor Qiao, please stay for dinner. The kitchen has prepared the freshest ingredients. We've invited a famous chef from Haicheng to cook today, and the food will surely suit your taste."
Qiao Xi smiled and declined: "I appreciate your kindness, Madam. But today is not the right time. Let's do it another day."
Qiao Xi thought, invited a famous chef from Haicheng?
Could it be that the girlfriend of the eldest son of the Xie family is from Haicheng?
When you refuse.
A servant was already shouting at the entrance: "Master, the lady and the old lady are in the living room. There is also a doctor Qiao at home who is treating the old lady. Miss Huo, let me help you."
Dr. Joe?
Miss Huo?
Qiao Xi turned around and met Huo Sijiao's eyes, who was standing at the entrance with a look of shock on her face.
He didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Jiaojiao?"
"sister in law?"
Qiao Xi pursed her lips, digesting this big gossip: "You and Mr. Xie..."
"No, no. I..." Huo Sijiao's cheeks flushed with shame. She didn't expect that when she came to apologize and clarify, she would meet her sister-in-law.
It seems that he misunderstood the relationship between her and Xie Xubai.
Xie Xubai, who was standing nearby, explained, "Miss Huo is my guest. I didn't expect Dr. Qiao to be here today. Why don't you stay for a quick meal? You can go home together tonight, what do you think?"
Qiao Xi waved her hand, cruelly ignoring Huo Sijiao's pleading eyes and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Please, Mr. Xie, send Jiaojiao back tonight. Please."
"sister in law……"
Huo Sijiao was in tears.
Xie Xubai said, "I'll take Doctor Qiao there."
"No need, you must have something else to say. Goodbye."
Qiao Xi gave Lao Chen a look, and the two of them quickly left the Xie family's living room.
When walking out of Xie Mansion.
Old Chen laughed heartily. "Haha, how did the eldest lady become Mr. Xie's girlfriend? Madam, you look like you've just caught an adulterous affair and fled. Fortunately, Mr. Sun didn't come to the Xie Mansion with me today, otherwise I don't know what he would have said."
Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment before laughing out loud: "I was indeed scared. I was wondering who Xie Xubai's girlfriend was, but I didn't expect it to be Jiaojiao. But I'm afraid it was a misunderstanding. Let's go home first and hear Jiaojiao's opinion tonight."
"Miss, you didn't expect me to be here, right? It's really a coincidence."
The corners of Qiao Xi's mouth curled up: "Let's go, let's go home first."
…
In the Xie family's living room.
Huo Sijiao sat on the sofa awkwardly with a formulaic and awkward smile on her face.
Sitting in front of her were the old lady of the Xie family and Xie Xubai's mother, Madam Wanling, and sitting beside her were Xie Xubai.
The servants who came and went were also very enthusiastic and glanced at her curiously.
The old lady of the Xie family laughed so hard that she couldn't stop. "Miss Huo, what would you like to drink? Young girls may not like tea, coffee or juice?"
"I'm fine with that. How about giving me a glass of warm water?"
Huo Sijiao lamented in her heart that her sister-in-law was so heartless that she didn't even want to stay with her.
"Drinking more water is good for your skin." The old lady liked her more and more. The Huo family in Haicheng has a good family tradition, so naturally the children they raise will not be bad.
Let’s talk about it later.
Huo Sijiao's brother and Xu Bai are good partners.
This is a match made in heaven.
Huo Sijiao held the glass in both hands, pursed her lips and took two sips. She met the gazes of the two elders and forced a smile.
"grandmother."
Xie Xubai shouted with a hint of warning, "Miss Huo is a guest."
Madam Xie glared at her and said, "Miss Huo and I get along well. I don't treat her as a guest, I treat her as one of my own."
Huo Sijiao fidgeted with the hem of her skirt with both hands, it looked like she was going to meet the parents.
She clearly came here to explain the misunderstanding last night.
She took a deep breath, looked at the two elders and said, "Thank you, Madam."
"Call me grandma, that's more intimate. I won't be polite with you, so I'll just call you Jiaojiao. I heard Dr. Qiao call you that just now. Is that your nickname?"
Huo Sijiao was interrupted by the old lady and replied somewhat discouragedly, "Yes."
The first effort is strong, the second will weaken and the third will be exhausted.
"Jiaojiao is a great name. It tells you she's a well-behaved and pampered little girl." Madam Wanling also praised, glancing at her son. "I'll go to the kitchen to see how the dinner preparations are going. Jiaojiao must stay for dinner, and I'll cook a few dishes myself."
"Oh no... Auntie, you..."
Before Huo Sijiao could say no, Madam Wanling went to the kitchen.
There is not even a chance to refuse.
Madam Xie was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law's help and said, "Mother Xubai is a very good cook. You must try her."
Huo Sijiao nodded helplessly: "Okay."
The old lady moved her seat, approached Huo Sijiao and asked, "How old are you this year?"
"Twenty-three. I'm one year older than my sister-in-law."
Huo Sijiao answered obediently. She was always outspoken in front of others, but she didn't dare to act rashly in front of her elders. Perhaps her biological grandmother favored the eldest wife and died early, so she never felt the closeness of a grandparent.
Looking at this kind and enthusiastic old lady, she didn't dislike it.
On the contrary, I kind of like her and envy Xie Xubai for having such a grandmother.
"Okay, he is seven years younger than our Xubai. Old men are caring and know how to be kind..." Old Mrs. Xie smiled with wrinkles on her face, and she wished she could let Xie Xubai and Huo Sijiao get the marriage certificate on the spot.
Huo Sijiao hurriedly explained: "Old Madam, you misunderstood! I came here today to explain this matter to you."
She likes Shen Xuanzhi, and she regretted what she did at the celebration party last night and couldn't sleep all night.
Today, he couldn't wait to move out of the Yunqi Hotel and contacted Xie Xubai to come and explain.
After these things are done, she and Xie Xubai will probably have no chance to meet again.
From then on, we were no different from strangers.
"Old lady..."
"Call me grandma."
"Okay, thank you, Grandma." Huo Sijiao couldn't resist and said seriously, "I did that last night just to get angry at Pei Chun for insulting my sister-in-law. Xie Xubai helped me out of my brother's favor. It was my fault for not being considerate enough to make such a joke in that situation, which caused such a bad impact."
Huo Sijiao frowned, apologetically saying, "I'm sorry, Grandma Xie. I apologize to you. Please don't take your anger out on Xie Xubai for what he said about kneeling in the ancestral hall and asking for family discipline. This is all my fault. I've already checked out of the hotel and will keep my distance from him. I believe the rumors in the capital will soon fade."
Keep distance?
When Mrs. Xie heard this, she panicked. How could that be possible?
