Chapter 686 He Lied to Me
“Very big.”
Huo Xingzhou lowered his brows slightly and said, "It's bigger than the Zhong family's engagement party and the Guan family's birthday party. Most of the people who come are from the business world, and there are also some celebrities from the imperial capital. The top people from all walks of life are here, it's a mixed bag."
Qiao Xi's lips were dry.
"Is the top floor of the Imperial Capital Tianyuan Building large enough to accommodate so many people?"
"Are you underestimating your husband? The entire top floor is open, and the food and drinks are delivered by the hotel. There's also a large glass garden up there. It has everything. The people who built this building thought of everything very carefully."
Qiao Xi asked: "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"have."
"What?"
"Be my good wife and show up with me tomorrow. Let everyone know that you are the disciple of the traditional Chinese medicine doctor Cheng Han, and the champion of the needle-testing competition is my wife, Huo Xingzhou."
Qiao Xi gently hit his shoulder and said, "How can you be so boastful?"
"You are excellent, can't I show off?"
Qiao Xi looked at his handsome features, but felt a little sad in her heart: "Huo Xingzhou, do you think we will make it to the end?"
If one day they suddenly stop loving each other, or if they do something that makes the other unhappy, will they go their separate ways?
It was hard to imagine her world without him.
Hearing this, Huo Xingzhou looked deeply into her eyes and said, "As long as you are willing, you can."
"Then we have a deal."
…
The parking lot on the second floor below ground level of the building.
Xia Sisi opened the car door and got in. She put on sunglasses and told the driver to go back to the company.
He took out his cell phone and called his agent.
"Hey, Sister Dong. I just came out of Mr. Huo's office. I'm sure all the executives on that floor have seen me. I finally got this opportunity from my brother. I thought I would never have the chance to get in touch with the Huo family again, but I didn't expect..."
Xia Sisi's innocent face was full of shrewdness. "I will definitely get the endorsement of Tianyuan. With my brother and Mr. Huo's friendship, we will have many opportunities to meet in the future. My family is just an ordinary middle-class family, so we still need to find a financial sponsor."
"Don't worry, I won't take action unless I'm absolutely sure. I'm not those superficial women out there."
What she wants is fame and fortune, and anything else that can be sacrificed can be sacrificed.
"Mr. Huo is a henpecked man?"
She seemed to have heard something funny. "Mrs. Huo is indeed very strict. I admit that they have a good relationship. But I have never thought of replacing her."
Xia Sisi knew exactly what she wanted to do.
"I've already got the invitation letter for Tianyuan Group tomorrow. It was originally meant for my brother, but he's too busy with work so I had to do it for him."
After she reported the situation to the agent on the other end of the phone, she hung up.
Looking at the dark night outside the window, she recalled their first meeting abroad that year.
A stunning figure flashed through my mind.
After all, they are not a good match.
But who could have imagined that a girl raised in the countryside would actually sit on the seat of Mrs. Huo? If only she had given up her flourishing career and worked for the Huo family...
Xia Sisi shook her head.
Mrs. Huo's medical skills are unparalleled. Without her, there would be no Huo Xingzhou today.
So she doesn't expect that position, but needs a financial backer.
Otherwise, she would be devoured by the endless stream of newcomers in this cannibalistic entertainment industry.
You must reach the highest point and stand firm.
Now she needs Huo Xingzhou's support, and she can make some sacrifices.
After all, if men eat too much of the main meal, they would also like to eat some light porridge and side dishes.
She understood this principle when she was in her teens.
…
Early the next morning.
Qiao Xi got up and went upstairs first. She pushed open Cheng Han's door.
Seeing this, the bodyguard inside hurriedly said, "Young Madam, I was on guard here last night. The old man still hasn't woken up, but he hasn't had a recurring fever."
Qiao Xi took the temperature with a thermometer and found it was normal.
The most frightening thing is that the high fever won’t go away.
"Thank you for your hard work. Go and rest first. I'll give Grandpa Cheng acupuncture."
"Okay, young lady."
Qiao Xi spread out the needle bag, took out a long needle and inserted it into Cheng Han's acupoint and said softly.
"Grandpa Cheng, you have to get better soon. I've brought your daughter back, but she's not in good condition right now. I'm a little helpless. It would be great if you were here."
Grandpa Cheng must have a way to cure narcolepsy.
Qiao Xi took a deep breath and gave the needle again.
A moment later.
There was a noise coming from the next room, and the sound of various heavy objects falling.
Qiao Xi stood up and ran out in a hurry, still holding the needle in her hand.
The bodyguard said anxiously: "Young Madam, next door..."
"Is she awake?"
"Yes! He was terrified when he woke up, shouting to go home."
Qiao Xi's face was solemn: "Watch the corridor on the third floor first, and don't let anyone in. I'll go take a look!"
She pushed the door open and walked in. The skinny woman in the room was completely unaware. She stumbled and knocked over many pieces of furniture. She looked confused and sometimes yelled and sometimes whispered.
"Go home! Where...is this!"
"Lu...Lu."
Her cheeks were sunken, and her eyes looked a little scary. Her hair was disheveled, and her face was as pale as a ghost.
When she saw Qiao Xi, she was obviously panicked.
He hid in the corner, looking at her warily and curiously.
Qiao Xi tried to get closer, but she stretched out her hand and wanted to grab something and throw it over.
"I'm not going over there, don't be afraid."
“Who are you…”
Her speech was a little unclear, and years of sleep and solitude had caused her language function to deteriorate significantly. It took careful deciphering to understand what she was saying.
Qiao Xi stood more than a meter away from her and asked patiently, "Do you still remember Cheng Han?"
Narcolepsy patients experience amnesia after sleeping for many years.
Cheng Qingnian obviously didn't remember anything.
There was a glazed look of doubt in her eyes.
"Cheng Han?"
Qiao Xi remembered that when she first entered the door, she was calling the word "Lu".
She didn't remember Cheng Han, but she only remembered the surname "Lu". Could it be that she was thinking about Lu Bannong now?
Qiao Xi tried to get closer. She poured a glass of warm water and placed it on the bedside table beside her. Then she took out some pills from the drawer and said, "Take the medicine first. If you want to be cured, you have to be good. I'm your attending physician now, don't be afraid."
"Take medicine..."
Cheng Qingnian had no objection to taking medicine.
Her instinctive reaction was to hope that her illness would heal quickly.
She took the pill and swallowed it directly, then drank water in big gulps.
"I'm done eating."
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and asked tentatively, "Do you still remember... Lu Bannong? You just called Lu..."
"Lu Bannong!"
Cheng Qingnian screamed the name, "Lu Bannong! I remember Lu Bannong! He's a liar!"
The name was almost engraved in her bones.
That's why she panicked when she saw the unfamiliar environment and didn't see Lu Bannong.
Lu Bannong!
There was obvious hatred in Cheng Qingnian's eyes.
"He's a liar! He's a hypocrite!"
