Chapter 772: No match for Qiao Xi
Qiao Xi pursed her lips after hearing Zhong Yi's words.
She was hesitating.
Zhong Yi placed his hands on both sides of the wheelchair and whispered, "You always did this before. Do you treat other patients the same way? Am I... a special person to you?"
Qiao Xi was surprised by his question.
She did not hesitate to treat other patients, but treated them as patients without any discrimination based on gender.
Why is it so special when it comes to Zhongyi?
Zhong Yi lowered his eyes, looking somewhat lost and pitiful.
Qiao Xi's heart softened.
He no longer had any real family in this world, and yet he suffered such humiliation. Even if it was just part of the plan, the scar on his face was real.
It was just such a small request, but she still...
"Let me do it!"
Sun Weimeng snatched the ointment from Qiao Xi's hand, approached Zhong Yi and said flatteringly, "From now on, Huo Xingzhou will be my boss, and you will be second in command. I've learned a lot of pharmacology from Qiao Xi, so I'm good at applying simple ointments. Don't worry, I guarantee that most of your scars will be gone by the time you wake up tomorrow."
He twisted open the ointment, squeezed out some and rubbed it on his fingertips to warm it up, then put it on Zhong Yi's face.
Zhong Yi turned his head away.
Who is your second?
He took back what he had said before. Sun Weimeng was really annoying.
"Young Master Sun! Young Master Sun!" Wan Jiang stood in front of him and said, "I'll apply the medicine. Young Master doesn't like being touched by outsiders. Let me do it. I won't bother you with this kind of thing."
Sun Weimeng still felt a little regretful, "Forget it, I'll give it to you."
He gave the ointment to Wan Jiang and winked at Qiao Xi when no one was paying attention.
Qiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at them and said, "It's getting late, I have to go back first. Grandpa Cheng still needs my care. Yi, you need to get some rest and stop thinking too much. After the New Year, I want to see you bring all your things back... bit by bit."
"good."
Zhong Yi responded.
"Wanjiang, go and see them off."
"No need, we can get to know each other. Let Wan Jiang take care of you here, and don't move around casually. If you leave more people around, I'm afraid Zhong Lingxiao will do something bad to you. He won't dare to kill you in the city center. But what if..."
Qiao Xi looked worried, "You must take good care of yourself."
"Well, I want to go see Grandpa Cheng in a few days."
"I'll tell him, bye."
Qiao Xi walked out of the room and looked back. She found that Zhong Yi was still looking at her, and the emotion in his eyes was almost overflowing.
Qiao Xi felt as if she was scalded and left in a hurry.
"Qiao Xi, please walk slower. I haven't brought my laptop yet." Sun Weimeng turned around and picked up Zhong Yi's laptop. He said thank you to him and then quickly left the villa.
Wan Jiang held the ointment and reminded: "Master, Doctor Qiao has left."
"Dr. Qiao? Why don't you call her Miss Qiao anymore?"
"Well, because I think you probably don't want to hear me call her Madam Huo."
Zhong Yi looked at him coldly and asked, "Mrs. Huo? Wan Jiang, do you think you are tired of living?"
What he hated most was this title, as if Qiao Xi had become an appendage of Huo Xingzhou.
Wan Jiang shrank his neck, "I told you that you don't like this name."
"Did she ask you to scream like that?"
"Well, Qiao Xiao... she's quite serious." Wan Jiang sighed helplessly at his own Master Zhong. "Actually... I think you're quite capable. There's no need to be obsessed with her. There are so many famous ladies and daughters in the capital..."
"No one can match Qiao Xi."
Zhong Yi is a very determined and stubborn person at heart.
He could no longer tell whether his feelings for Qiao Xi were an obsession or a deep-rooted love.
If possible, he still wanted to be with her.
Even if I look at it every day, I will feel at peace.
"Master Zhong, you really are..." Wan Jiang didn't know what to say. "Let me apply some medicine on you first. It's not a good look to have slap marks on your face all the time. I wonder what others will say if they see you."
"Give me the ointment. If you're okay, get out of here. Stop talking nonsense. No girl likes a nagging man."
Personal attack!
Wan Jiang felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart. He then handed him the ointment and said, "I suddenly remembered something I need to report to you. Lin Xifei has secretly gone to the hospital for a DNA test. She said she wants to meet with you. She's still very concerned about her bodyguard A Yao and has changed her mind."
"What does she want to do?"
"She wants to modify the terms of the deal with you. After the deal is done, you will give her 20 million and let her take her unborn child and A Yao and leave the imperial capital safely, never to appear again."
The family of three was going to live a happy life, and he would also take the bodyguard he specially found who looked like Zhong Lingxiao with him.
"Yes, but there's no need to meet. Let her stay by Zhong Lingxiao's side. After the New Year's ninth banquet, she can live the life she wants."
Zhong Yi didn't care whether Lin Xifei stayed or left.
She didn't ask for too much, so he could still agree to this condition.
"Okay, that's what I'll reply to her."
Lin Xifei is a very important chess piece.
There can be no losses.
"I suddenly thought of something not so important!"
"Wan Jiang, your memory is so poor that I doubt I chose the wrong person. Or have you decided to join Zhong Lingxiao and deal with me casually?"
Wan Jiang wanted to kneel down before him. "Mr. Zhong, you're being unfairly accused! I was just thinking about the Pei family's recent movements. It seems the Feng family has hooked up with the Pei family. Feng Nanxi is going on a blind date with the youngest son of the Pei family."
"That idiot Pei Gan?"
"Yes. Family marriages are a way to unite forces in a short period of time. The Pei family may also want to make further progress in the selection of the four major families. They are very ambitious. Pei Gan's lack of knowledge and skills can be used for marriage. Even Pei Chun, a member of the side branch, is selecting a suitable marriage partner."
Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions.
Zhong Yi showed a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth. Pei family? Feng family?
Decades ago, the Feng family was able to keep pace with the Zhong family, but what is left now? Could it be that they still have some hidden cards, a lean camel that is bigger than a horse?
So that's why the Pei family took it seriously?
Wan Jiang added, "The eldest daughter of the Feng family is only eighteen years old. After returning to China, she enrolled at Imperial University. If you really want to disrupt this marriage, you'd better do it as soon as possible."
The image of the cute and lively girl he met at the airport that day flashed through Zhong Yi's mind. Her bright and innocent peach blossom eyes left a deep impression on him.
"Find out where and when they went on blind dates."
"yes!"
"Get out."
Zhong Yi drove Wan Jiang out and he was the only one left in the room.
He held the tube of ointment in his hand, as if trying to absorb some of the warmth that had long since dissipated from it.
