Chapter 111 All men are bad!

Did Mr. Huo call her to explain?

At that moment, many thoughts flashed through Qiao Xi's mind. She mustered up her courage and prepared to ask all the questions in her heart.

then.

Qiao Xi pressed the answer button and said in a normal voice, "Hello, Mr. Huo."

"Hello, Madam. I am Chen Xun."

A strange male voice came from the other end of the phone, and Qiao Xi felt indescribably lost.

Not him.

"Hello."

"Mr. Huo will have a secret meeting with the Zhong family recently. The Zhong family is very cautious and will use a signal jammer in the hotel. Mr. Huo probably won't have many opportunities to contact you. If you have anything to say, just wait until Mr. Huo returns home."

Chen Xun said in a formulaic manner.

"Oh, I understand." Qiao Xi lowered her eyes. Chen Xun's meaning was very clear. Don't call him during this period of time.

Does he know about the online interview about the Star-Moon Foundation?

Chen Xun on the other end hung up the phone and deleted the call record.

Qiao Xi looked at the black screen of her phone. She thought she could get an explanation.

If he admitted that he really couldn't let go of Xu Xingluo, then she would... stop.

At this time.

There was a noise outside the villa.

"Ma'am, you can't go in!"

"You don't have a reservation, you can't enter without permission!"

Qiao Xi looked up and saw Zhao Yuzhen, who was dressed simply and holding a child in her arms.

"Xixi! I want to talk to you!"

Zhao Yuzhen, standing behind the guardrail, had a bare face, the collagen on her face had been lost, and a few more wrinkles appeared on her face.

"Mrs. Huo, this woman insisted on coming in. When Mr. Huo left, he told you to pay special attention to the safety of your home," the security guard explained.

Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said, "Let her in. I know her."

"Oh, okay."

“Xixi.”

Zhao Yuzhen followed Qiao Xi into the living room, holding the crying baby.

Qiao Xi poured her a glass of warm water, sat on the sofa and said, "Mrs. Qian is not here, so I can't entertain you. What do you want to see me about?"

Her eyes fell on Zhao Yuzhen, who was coaxing the baby tenderly.

This child should be Su Heng's illegitimate child. She was so considerate to her husband's illegitimate child, but she treated her like a scourge.

It turns out that she can also be a gentle and generous mother.

"Xixi, I... I'm here to say goodbye to you." Zhao Yuzhen said with a wry smile, "Before I leave, I want to talk to you."

Qiao Xi looked indifferent when she heard this.

"Xixi, I know you resent me. As a mother, I am really sorry for you."

Zhao Yuzhen took out a topaz pendant from her bag and put it into Qiao Xi's hand. Qiao Xi looked down and saw that the topaz was pure in color and smooth as fat.

Having been brought up in the Huo family for so long, she knew that this was something of inestimable value.

"What do you mean? Compensation?" Qiao Xi asked.

"This originally belonged to you," Zhao Yuzhen said slowly, "Keep it as a keepsake."

Qiao Xi held the topaz tightly, originally thinking that Zhao Yuzhen was here to ask for money.

I didn't expect... it was a gift for her.

"You are Mr. Huo's wife now, I shouldn't say these things. But..." Zhao Yuzhen said with tears in her eyes, "Huo Xingzhou and Xu Xingluo have been entangled for many years, I am afraid that you will suffer."

"Women should rely on themselves. There is no good ending for those who depend on men. I am a living example of this!"

"You are the disciple of the national doctor Cheng Han, and you have a special skill! A woman should not only have love, but also a career! No man is good!"

Zhao Yuzhen's words were earnest and sincere, and every word came from the heart, and she was clearly the image of a loving mother.

Qiao Xi's throat tightened, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "What did you do so far?"

"I'm sorry, Xixi."

Qiao Xi waited for more than 20 years and finally got this sincere "I'm sorry", but it was too late.

By then, she no longer felt any emotion in her heart.

Zhao Yuzhen gave her a few more earnest instructions, and finally, reluctantly, she left with the child in her arms.

Qiao Xi stuffed a bank card into the baby's swaddling clothes.

The money contained the savings she had accumulated from her medical treatment. The last time Aunt Qian mentioned the Su family's bankruptcy to her, she had prepared it.

Just consider it as maintenance fee for Zhao Yuzhen. From now on, we will go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other anymore.

After Zhao Yuzhen left, the living room quickly became deserted.

Qiao Xi sat there stiffly for a long time before she finally picked up her phone and called the hospital: "Hello, I want to participate in the free clinic."

…

Two days later.

The Haicheng People's Hospital free clinic team was assembled. Two buses drove to remote towns under Haicheng, and Qiao Xi was assigned to the poorest Longtan Township.

It took Qiao Xi four or five hours to get to the destination. As soon as she got out of the car, her cell phone signal was intermittent and the messages she sent were spinning.

The young male doctor who was traveling with me sighed a few times: "The network signal here is so bad. I couldn't even send a message to my girlfriend to let her know I was safe."

The village director who greeted us said shyly, "It has been raining heavily recently and the base station has been washed away. When the weather clears up, the mobile company will send someone to repair it. Doctors, please bear with it for now. I will take you to settle down."

Although this place is poor, the village arranged clean bungalows for them, one room for each person, and specially arranged villagers to cook for them and wash dishes.

The place for consultation and storage of instruments was chosen to be a nearby school.

As soon as Qiao Xi got off the car, she heard a notice on the radio about free physical examinations tomorrow, asking all villagers to arrive on time.

The male doctor smiled and said, "You guys really take it seriously!"

"We don't have the necessary conditions in the countryside, and we don't dare to go to a big hospital for treatment. It's good that you are here!" The village director smiled naively, "It's a great thing!"

Qiao Xi curled her lips and smiled. The haze and resentment of love in her heart were dispelled.

If you advance, you can save the world; if you retreat, you can save the people. If you can't be a good prime minister, you should be a good doctor.

Perhaps this is what practicing medicine is all about.

"Dr. Qiao, come and have dinner!"

“Here I come!”

…

the next day.

A group of people walked out of the Imperial Hotel. The man in the lead was tall and slender, and looked dignified and proud.

"Chen Xun, cell phone." Huo Xingzhou stretched out his hand and Chen Xun put the cell phone in his hand.

Huo Xingzhou looked through the call records, frowned and asked, "Didn't family call?" He wanted to ask Qiao Xi.

In the past few days, the illegitimate son of the Zhong family has placed a signal jammer in the hotel, fearing that something might go wrong. If the Huo family wants to expand their territory, they can only follow the other party's rules.

"No." Chen Xun lowered his head to hide his guilt.

The man directly flipped to Qiao Xi's number and called her.

"Sorry, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please call again later." Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Huo Xingzhou's face sank.

He called Zhou Yu again and asked, "Where is Qiao Xi?"

Zhou Yu was awakened from the midst of a life of debauchery and drunkenness: "You didn't know? Qiao Xi went to the countryside to provide free medical services. She will be gone for three or four days. Didn't she inform you, her husband?"
