Chapter 844 He Wakes Up
Sun Weimeng followed her gaze and was a little afraid to speak.
How much of what they just discussed had Qiao Xi heard? They say pregnant women are emotionally sensitive, but she wouldn't take it seriously, would she?
Sun Weimeng raised his hand and slapped himself in the face. "Qiao Xi, don't listen to my nonsense. I'm just giving an example. A man like Huo Xingzhou can cheat whenever he wants. He has no shortage of women around him."
"Hello!"
Huo Sijiao slapped him hard on the shoulder and said, "If you don't know how to comfort people, don't speak!"
She stood up and hurried to support Qiao Xi, "Sister-in-law, we were just talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart. My brother must have gone to work."
Qiao Xi looked at their nervous expressions and smiled, "I know. He told me before he left. He said that today he was mainly going to see the excitement of the Pei family."
Pei family?
Sun Weimeng came over and said, "Do you know the inside story? Share the gossip with us."
Huo Sijiao also looked at her sister-in-law with shining eyes.
Qiao Xi shook her head: "I don't know the details."
Sun Weimeng was a little disappointed.
Qiao Xi looked at him and said, "If you want to know so much, just ask Xing Zhou later. I'm going out today, where's Lao Chen?"
"He's out washing the car."
"Where are you going, sister-in-law?"
"Let's go to the hospital. Mr. Huang has been delayed in the imperial capital for so long, it's time for me to take over Old Master Zhong's condition. From now on, we will take turns to watch over him. We can't let others take advantage of the opportunity."
"But sister-in-law, you've only just recovered from your illness. Don't you feel tired running back and forth like this? Please trouble Mr. Huang for a while longer. The Zhong family's water is really not to be touched."
Qiao Xi said patiently, "I have to go. Mr. Huang is old, and we can't leave him alone in the hospital."
Huo Sijiao thought about it and realized that her sister-in-law had a close relationship with Zhong Yi and must want to help Zhong Yi get the position of heir.
At this moment, Zhong Lingxiao was most looking forward to the old man's death so that he could inherit the entire Zhong family. If the old man was still alive, Zhong Yi still had some hope. If the old man died, then the family would fall completely into Zhong Lingxiao's hands.
It's a troublesome thing.
She thought a lot and finally said, "Then I'll go with you."
"good."
"I'm going too!" Sun Weimeng loves to join in the fun.
Huo Sijiao rolled her eyes and said, "Why are you going to the hospital with us if you don't go see your green tea sister Sisi?"
Xia Sisi has been making a name for herself in the entertainment industry lately, using the Huo family's reputation. She's also been keeping Sun Weimeng hooked, allowing him to use his connections to get a lot of resources.
Sun Weimeng smacked his lips and said, "I have to give her the cold shoulder for a while, lest she think I'm just a bootlicker."
"You are just a lickspittle!"
"Huo Sijiao, I'm warning you, don't humiliate my character."
Seeing how noisy they were, Qiao Xi said, "Why don't you all just stay home? The hospital is much quieter."
"Sister-in-law, I swear I will never quarrel with him again. I will go with you, so I can feel more at ease."
The two of them said a lot of soft words, and Qiao Xicai did not refuse.
Take Lao Chen with you to the hospital.
But when the car just drove to the hospital entrance, they saw an ambulance parked at the emergency room entrance, and they even moved away.
"Make way!"
"Pearl!"
A familiar lady ran in with the doctor in a panic, "Please save my daughter."
Huo Sijiao couldn't help but exclaimed and uttered a curse word.
"Is that Xiang Mingzhu's mother? Is that Xiang Mingzhu on the stretcher?"
Something happened!
Sun Weimeng said quickly: "I'll go find out and meet up with you guys later."
He loves gossip the most and is the most sensitive to this information.
Huo Sijiao took Qiao Xi's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go in first."
"Um."
Qiao Xi and Huo Sijiao entered the hospital and went to the elevator.
Arriving at the VIP ward, they found the security even tighter. Both groups were guarding the ward, and to be more precise, there was probably a third party, an old butler who was very loyal to the old man.
When they saw Qiao Xi arriving, they all looked different.
But they all started to report to their masters that how many people entered the ward every day, who entered, and when they entered would all be recorded.
The old housekeeper didn't seem to be disgusted when he saw Qiao Xi. Instead, he said, "You're finally here. Mr. Huang is resting in the next room, and there's no one else in the room right now. I'm an old man who doesn't know any medicine and I'm really worried about the old man's health. I wish someone could check on him all the time."
The doctors in the hospital are not trustworthy.
Who knows which force bribed them?
The old man said a long time ago that those old Chinese medicine practitioners have integrity. Although Mr. Huang has a tough temper, he will never do anything to harm others.
The old housekeeper pushed open the door of the ward and respectfully invited Qiao Xi in.
Qiao Xi turned around and said something, asking Huo Sijiao to wait outside.
She just went in.
As soon as I entered the room, I smelled a strong smell of medicine.
The old man's face was pale and his eyes were tightly closed.
Qiao Xi asked, "Has he woken up?"
"No," the old housekeeper said worriedly. "Mr. Huang said our old master's anger triggered an old illness, and he's being kept alive with acupuncture and herbal medicine. I don't know when he'll wake up, but he's been feeling better lately."
Qiao Xi nodded.
She walked forward and took the old man's pulse.
The old man looked much older recently and no longer as smart and vigorous as before. He lay there like a harmless paper tiger.
Where is the dignity at all!
Qiao Xi withdrew her hand and said softly, "It's not in good condition, but it's better than before. Mr. Huang has really made great efforts..."
The old man is now at this age. Even if he survives this time, he won’t live for a few years after waking up.
The old housekeeper nodded. "Mr. Huang said that Doctor Qiao studied under a traditional Chinese doctor and has learned advanced acupuncture techniques. Perhaps he can achieve different results. Please, could you please examine our old man?"
"It's not some advanced needlework."
Qiao Xi suspected that Mr. Huang had already seen that he was learning the Lingshu Nine Needles.
She didn't hide it on purpose. The Lu family was finished. She had made some breakthroughs in acupuncture, but she had not mastered it completely.
She took out the needle bag and slowly spread it out.
Inside is a row of slender golden needles.
She took out a long needle and inserted it into the old man's body. The housekeeper watching from the side thought it was no different from ordinary acupuncture, but after staring at it for a long time, he was actually mesmerized, and he always felt that there was a unique charm in each needle.
Qiao Xi gave acupuncture for more than half an hour, but the old housekeeper didn't say a word.
It was not until she put away the needle and wiped her fingers with a towel that the old housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Qiao."
"I'm here on behalf of Zhong Yi. Since Mr. Huang is resting, I'll stay by his side for a while." There must be someone by the old man's bedside.
The housekeeper said yes and said, "I'll get you a glass of water."
"Thank you for your help."
As soon as the housekeeper walked out of the ward, Qiao Xi's eyes caught sight of the old man on the bed.
His fingers moved and he opened his cloudy eyes.
Qiao Xi was shocked and stunned!
