Chapter 1020 Extra 85: The Huo Family’s Fight for Favor
"Master, please tell me what you want. As long as I can do it, I will try my best."
Zhou Qing's serious look made Qiao Xi laugh out loud.
"It's not a big deal. It's almost July, isn't it?"
"Master, is this the National Medical Recognition Conference? I heard that many prestigious seniors in the industry have been invited to participate."
The number of participants in the National Medical Recognition Conference was announced at the conference. Shen Xuanzhi revealed the information to Qiao Xi only because he had inside information. Many seniors were also invited to participate. They went to meet with old friends, and it was also an occasion to exchange medical skills.
In fact, most people have their own opinion on who will receive this honor.
They know who it belongs to.
"Yes, I will go to the capital. The time is uncertain, maybe I will be back in one or two days. If I have other things to do, it will take three to five days. This matter must be notified in advance to avoid missing some patients. After I leave, you will be in charge of the Chinese medicine hall. With you and a few seniors I personally invited, it shouldn't be a big deal. If there is anything I can't handle, just call me."
"Master, I will try not to call you to disturb you. When you are not here, I will definitely take good care of our Chinese medicine clinic."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
“It’s trust in me.”
Zhou Qing had nothing but admiration for Qiao Xi.
No matter what task Qiao Xi gave her, she would try her best to complete it.
"Get off work early and don't be so tired. There's still a long time to go, so let's take it slow." Qiao Xi looked at her and said with satisfaction.
After so many years, she finally cultivated a good seedling.
Chinese medicine clinics will get better and better in the future.
"Got it, Master."
Zhou Qing nodded heavily.
"Then I'll go back first. Che is still waiting for me outside."
"Master, take care."
Zhou Qing still had to stay in the Chinese medicine clinic to finish up the work. She was young and capable, so she was happy to help with anything.
Qiao Xi walked towards the hall.
I saw the child sitting in the spacious and bright hall, leaning on a chair, his little head nodding.
Like dozing off.
No matter how talented a five-year-old child is, his energy is limited.
I really don't know why he has to go to the Chinese medicine clinic to suffer. Qian Qian just knows how to be happy at home.
Qiao Xi walked over, patted his head gently and shouted, "Ah Che, wake up. We are going home..."
The child opened his sleepy eyes, with wet tears still hanging in the corners of his eyes.
"mother……"
"Let's go home first. Are you hungry?" It was too late today. She hadn't eaten yet and almost forgot about her son who was waiting outside.
A feeling of guilt welled up in Qiao Xi's heart.
“Not too hungry.”
"Then let's go home for dinner. Aunt Qian must have asked the chef to prepare delicious food."
"Um."
The child stretched out his hand and hooked his fingers with Qiao Xi's, and the mother and child walked into the night.
She didn't let Huo Xingzhou pick her up, saying she would go home. But usually after Qiao Xi said this, the man would still drive over.
However, there were no Rolls-Royce cars outside at this time tonight, which meant that Huo Xingzhou might not have gotten off work yet.
Qiao Xi drove an ordinary, low-profile car out of the parking lot of the Chinese Medicine Hall. After she passed the driving test, she would sometimes drive to work by herself.
"Ah Che, sit down."
He was somewhat dissatisfied that the child was placed in a safety seat in the back.
I really want to sit behind the wheel of my mom.
"Mom, are you going to the imperial capital?" he said, pouting.
The child only showed some of his innocence when he was alone with Qiao Xi. He was completely open in front of his mother.
"Yes, I will go there next week. Since you are on holiday, I will send you there too."
"Mom, can you please let my sister pass?"
"Why, don't you like Uncle Zhong?" Qiao Xi saw his reluctant look from the rearview mirror and found it a little funny. Qiao Xi knew that the child didn't like Zhong Yi that much, because his face was more similar to Huo Xingzhou's, Zhong Yi would always tease him, but he would stop at a certain point.
"Uncle Zhong is nice, but I want to stay with my mom during the summer vacation. I see my sister really wants to go to the capital, so let her go alone."
"Are you not worried that your sister will stay in the capital and not come back?"
The child is very distressed.
It's possible.
Because I don't know what kind of magic potion Uncle Zhong has given my sister, my sister likes him very much. Every night she asks to call Uncle Zhong, as if she really regards him as her own father.
When we left last year, my sister was reluctant to leave and wanted to stay in the capital for a while longer.
"Ache, if you don't go, your sister will be spoiled to the sky. You have to take care of your sister and don't let her be dazzled by the prosperity of the imperial capital." Qiao Xi also privately mentioned to Zhong Yi not to spoil the child so much.
She will be spoiled.
But Zhongyi agreed verbally and still spoiled Qianqian like a little princess. This was the treatment she could not get in the Huo family. Although Huo Xingzhou would get used to the little girl, he still did not allow her to do many things.
"Mom, how long will you stay in the capital? Will you stay with us?"
Qiao Xi said apologetically, "I can't stay for a few days. So I can only ask our A Che to help..."
"All right."
The child looked embarrassed, but finally agreed.
Who made him a brother? He has to take care of his unreliable sister.
"I know that our Ah Che is the most sensible. When mom finishes work in the capital, I will accompany you to travel for two days. Okay?"
Two days was the time Qiao Xi could squeeze out, and she had to return to the Chinese medicine clinic in Haicheng as soon as possible.
"Um."
Qiao Xi coaxed her son who was reluctant to go to the imperial capital and drove to the Huo family's villa.
Huo Xingzhou did not go home as expected.
And that heartless little Qianqian had already finished her dinner and returned to her room.
Aunt Qian came over, took Qiao Xi's bag and said, "She was tired from playing and was sweating. I washed her and fed her something, and she went back to her room and fell asleep."
Like a little pig.
"It's good that she's asleep."
Sometimes Qiao Xi couldn't stand the chattering, especially after finishing a day's work.
She bent down and said to Huo Yanche, "Ah Che, let's go eat something. Mommy will take you to take a bath later."
The child nodded obediently and said, "I'll go to sleep with Mommy, otherwise I'll wake up my sister if I go back to my room. It's a good opportunity for Mommy to tell me what I'm going to do in the capital."
"Okay."
Qiao Xi did not realize that Bai Qiehei's son was also taking the opportunity to compete for favors. Instead, she thought he was very considerate.
After dinner, Che enjoyed his mother's thoughtful bathing treatment, slept on the big bed in the master bedroom, and fell into a sweet dream.
It was not until Huo Xingzhou came back late at night and saw the small thing on the bed that he slowly frowned...
