Chapter 173 If You Don’t Divorce, Huo Xingzhou Will Be Widowed
After hearing Jiang Yue's words, Qiao Xi was about to go inside when she was stopped by a female voice.
"Qiao Xi."
An elegant and dignified woman walked into the clinic in high heels, carrying a brand-name handbag in both hands and looking at Qiao Xi's figure.
Qiao Xi turned around and saw Liu Huimin standing there proudly. The patients and their families who had been waiting nearby all looked over curiously.
"Is this the clinic that Huo Xingzhou paid for you? You're quite capable." Liu Huimin looked at her with disdain. She originally thought that Qiao Xi was an independent girl, but she was also spending men's money in disguise.
"Is there anything wrong?" Qiao Xi looked at her indifferently.
The last thing she wanted was to have anything to do with Xu Xingluo's family, but they kept pestering her again and again.
Liu Huimin looked around, a smile on her lips: "Are you sure you want me to say this here?"
Qiao Xi looked at her, her eyes becoming colder and colder: "Come with me."
Liu Huimin was obsessed with her daughter and started a scene in the lobby, which was bad for her clinic. Qiao Xi didn't want people to see gossip, and she didn't want to ruin the clinic's business.
The smile on Liu Huimin's face became even wider, and she followed her into Qiao Xi's private consultation room.
The door closed gently.
Qiao Xi asked, "Just tell me what you want to say. It seems that there is nothing more to talk about between us."
"When guests come to your house, shouldn't you pour them a cup of tea? This is how Zhao Yuzhen taught you etiquette. You are more uneducated than most girls." She sat down on the sofa in the reception area and said pickily.
Qiao Xi looked at her and said calmly, "My father died young, and my mother remarried. What can a mother who lets her daughter marry in her place teach me? Besides, you are of noble birth, so you don't necessarily know much etiquette."
She and Liu Huimin had already fallen out when Liu Zongyun was sent to the hospital.
"He's quite eloquent, no wonder he can fool Huo Xingzhou so much." Liu Huimin put her handbag aside and looked at Qiao Xi's face scrutinizingly.
She laughed and continued to taunt, "Your face looks like my daughter's. Huo Xingzhou probably treated you as a stand-in. He and Xingluo grew up together and have a deep friendship."
Qiao Xi was calm, as she had heard these words so many times that her ears were callused.
They all said that Huo Xingzhou couldn't let go of Xu Xingluo, but she had eyes and could see what the man was thinking.
Qiao Xi smiled faintly and said, "If you're here to sow discord between us, please go back. I won't divorce him, so don't bother."
Liu Huimin seemed to have known that she would say this.
She asked, "Do you love Huo Xingzhou? If you love him, you will definitely divorce him."
Liu Huimin was very confident.
Qiao Xi glanced at her and said, "What you said is contradictory. The more I love him, the less likely I am to be separated from him."
Liu Huimin looked at her and shook her head, then said confidently, "You will. Besides, the most important thing for a man is his career. Which one do you think Huo Xingzhou will choose between Tianyuan Group and you?"
Qiao Xi said directly: "He doesn't need to choose between me and Tianyuan Group. Career and marriage are not contradictory. You are talking strangely."
Liu Huimin was very disgusted with her stubborn character.
She frowned and stared at Qiao Xi and said, "Everything you have was given to you by Huo Xingzhou. You are just a blood-sucking worm on his body. I heard that you want to use this clinic to expand your reputation? Don't worry, it won't be open for long."
Liu Huimin knew the agreement between Lu Bannong and Cheng Han. She would push Qiao Xi to a dead end and leave her with no power to fight back.
For doctors, patients are the waves that push the boat forward.
She would not allow Qiao Xi to accumulate enough fame.
"Are you threatening me?" Qiao Xi said with a cold face.
"It's up to you how you interpret it." Liu Huimin stood up and looked at her. "If you file for divorce from Huo Xingzhou now, you can still keep your clinic and continue your Chinese medicine and acupuncture business, and our Xu family will forgive you. But if you delay for too long, it won't just be a divorce. You might even lose your life.
When Huo Xingzhou becomes a widower, my daughter Xingluo will naturally marry him, and it will still be none of your business."
The calculation and viciousness hidden in her tone made Qiao Xi purse her lips tightly.
Can the powerful and wealthy families just ignore ordinary people?
Qiao Xi sneered, "Have you forgotten how you begged me like a dog not to resign in the hospital? You're an ungrateful, white-eyed wolf, that's what I'm talking about."
Liu Huimin felt embarrassed and angry after hearing what Qiao Xi said, and ignored the unspeakable pain in her heart.
She snorted coldly and said, "My second brother has many specialists treating him, and Dr. Yan is also doing acupuncture and rehabilitation. I believe he will recover soon. The doctors at the time said that his will to live was amazing, it was a miracle. In fact, you just got a free ride."
Qiao Xi thought that the most stubborn person in the world must be Liu Huimin.
"Qiao Xi, I advise you to divorce as soon as possible, so as not to lose everything. You will lose this clinic and the only family you care about."
Liu Huimin remembered Xu Xingluo's crying and desperate look, so she hardened her heart and threatened him.
"I won't divorce you, please go back." Qiao Xi's almond-shaped eyes were icy cold. "Don't touch my grandma, or I will do my best to tear off a piece of your flesh and blood."
Knock knock.
There were two knocks on the door. Xu Yunye, his arm wrapped in gauze, looked at them leisurely. "Excuse me, Dr. Qiao, it's already 8:30 am. Jiang Yue said I'll be the first one to have acupuncture today."
Liu Huimin looked at him in surprise: "Yun Ye, why are you here? Shouldn't you be at Haicheng Hospital?"
Xu Yunye lowered his head, sneered, and said, "So you didn't know I was discharged from the hospital. I thought you came here to ask Dr. Qiao about my condition, but I didn't expect you were here to force Xu Xingluo to marry you."
"Yun Ye, you...you come back with me!"
Liu Huimin felt a little embarrassed and scolded.
"I still have to treat my illness." Xu Yunye was stubborn.
"She won't treat you well! Our Xu family has offended her. Just be obedient and come home with me." Liu Huimin said earnestly.
Xu Yunye smiled and said, "No. I will stay here as Dr. Qiao's hostage. I will uphold your last moral bottom line and see if you can give me up for Xu Xingluo."
His tone was calm, but it contained sadness.
Liu Huimin looked at him disappointedly and said, "Yun Ye, Xing Luo is your biological sister. Why do you have to go against her all the time?"
Xu Yunye remained silent, leaning against the door.
Liu Huimin gritted her teeth, picked up her handbag, and turned away angrily.
Qiao Xi's eyes flickered as she watched the mother and son bicker. She walked up to him and said, "My acupuncture skills are enough to cripple you without anyone noticing anything wrong. Are you sure you want to be treated?"
Xu Yunye looked at her, his brows relaxed and his smile bloomed like a flower.
"Ouch, my feet are numb from standing!" He couldn't control his body and fell straight towards Qiao Xi, bumping into her.
Qiao Xi gritted her teeth and pushed him away, but she didn't expect him to be so heavy.
Xu Yunye fell into her arms and said, "I always feel like we should have known each other a long time ago. Doctor Qiao, how about I take you as my sister?"
He was stunned when he blurted out these words.
