Chapter 127 She is Shining

The car stopped in front of the chic milky white art museum in the city center. The huge exhibition hall had been converted into a banquet hall for a charity auction.

The annual charity auction is huge, and anyone who can afford to pay a hundred thousand dollars for an auction item can get a ticket. This is the best opportunity for middle and lower-level businessmen to rise to the top overnight.

What if we are lucky enough to reach a cooperation with the four major families?

then.

The parking lot outside is already filled with luxury cars, large and small, arranged in an orderly manner.

Huo Xingzhou drove his Rolls-Royce to the underground parking lot and took the elevator directly upstairs. The Huo family was very low-key and asked people outside to wait for the face-scanners, but they were disappointed.

The elevator stops on the second floor, at the entrance to the auction room which is filled with a strong artistic atmosphere.

There is a row of well-made safes, which store the auction items brought by guests. The transparent glass cover allows people to see the items inside, stimulating people's eyes and their desire to compete.

"Sister-in-law, this charity auction is huge. The most fun thing is that you can auction anything, as long as you are willing to give it your all! Two years ago, there were even small celebrities who came on stage to auction their own things, and now they have become top stars in the circle thanks to the sponsors."

This place is not only a place for charity, but also a den of money for the upper class, and also an opportunity for many people.

Qiao Xi was greatly enlightened.

"Mr. Huo, I'm going to register the items for auction." Chen Xun said respectfully.

"Assistant Chen, I..." Qiao Xi was about to take out the topaz wooden box from her bag when she heard a panicked cry.

"Xiao Lei! Spit it out! Is there a doctor?"

The low-key dressed woman patted the four or five-year-old child's back vigorously, "Bend over and spit it out."

The incident happened suddenly and she was panicked. Qiao Xi ran over and knew at a glance that the child's trachea was blocked.

"I'll try."

"Mrs. Huo?" The woman let go of her hand and recognized Qiao Xi's face.

Qiao Xi picked up the child and leaned forward. She clenched her left fist, held her left wrist with her right hand, and applied pressure to the upper part of the child's abdomen. The Heimlich maneuver is a basic first aid that every doctor knows.

Repeat several times.

The child spat out an amygdaloid and cried loudly.

Qiao Xi let go of her hand and patted the child on the back: "It's okay."

The woman wiped away the tears on her face and said excitedly, "Thank you, Dr. Qiao! This child is naughty and ate snacks when we were not paying attention. I don't know what to do."

Qiao Xi reminded: "If you have children at home, you can learn about first aid. The hospital regularly offers special lectures on this subject."

"I will definitely go and listen!" The woman held the child in her arms, her face filled with joy at having survived a disaster.

"The child is frightened, you should comfort him quickly." After Qiao Xi finished speaking, she walked towards Huo Xingzhou and Huo Sijiao who were standing at the door of the auction hall.

The two siblings waited for her quietly and watched everything she did.

Huo Sijiao looked at her seriously and said, "Sister-in-law, you are so great! No, it should be the profession of doctor that is so great. Sometimes you save not just one person, but several families."

She has always been idle, eating, drinking and having fun, but now she is confused.

Shouldn't she also find a meaningful job?

Qiao Xi felt shy because of her praise: "This is my job. I will save the patient if I can." This kind of first aid is very easy for a doctor.

She looked at Huo Xingzhou and said, "Registration of items for the auction..."

"Sister-in-law, my brother has already asked Chen Xun to register. He has already prepared everything for you. Don't auction your things. After all, they were left for you by your mother."

Even though Zhao Yuzhen was an incompetent mother, Qiao Xi still had complicated feelings for her.

"Thank you, Mr. Huo."

"You're welcome, between husband and wife." He reached out and held her hand. Qiao Xi smiled and readily took his arm.

They walked together into the huge auction hall, which was crowded with people.

"Qiao Xi!" Du Yan took Huo Jiancheng's arm and waved, "Here."

"Dad, Mom."

Qiao Xi called out twice in a restrained manner.

Du Ya looked at her clothes and said with satisfaction, "Girls should dress beautifully and boldly. Jewelry is a bit plain. I'll buy you some more later."

"Thank you, Mom." Qiao Xi did not refuse her kindness.

"Mom is so partial and only favors my sister-in-law. I am also your biological daughter." Huo Si pouted and acted coquettishly.

"You are a debt collector."

Du Ya reached out and touched her nose, and her peripheral vision caught sight of the family who had just walked in, and her face fell.

Huo Sijiao followed her line of sight and said unhappily, "Bad luck."

"Uncle, aunt, Jiaojiao, and Brother Xingzhou! You are here too." Xu Xingluo was wearing a pure white embroidered long skirt with a circle of wrinkles on the chest, looking noble and elegant.

She greeted him politely: "Auntie, you are getting more and more beautiful."

"Jiancheng, Du Ya, long time no see." Liu Huimin and Xu Guangyao then walked up to them and said politely.

Originally, the relationship between the elders of the two families was good, and Du Ya and Liu Huimin were good friends. But the car accident broke this relationship.

Liu Huimin lowered her attitude and said, "Du Ya, let's just let the past go. You are also a mother, you should be able to understand me."

Du Ya sarcastically said, "You won't feel the pain unless the knife falls on you."

Xu Xingluo said coquettishly: "Aunt Du Ya, my brother Xingzhou and I grew up together, and our two families have a very good relationship. Please forgive us..."

Du Ya sneered and pulled Qiao Xi in front of her: "Xingluo, others say that you are sensible and generous. You call Xingzhou brother, so why don't you say hello to your sister-in-law Qiao Xi?"

"I……"

How could she possibly call the village girl sister-in-law? That would be more painful than killing her.

"snort."

Du Ya took Qiao Xi to the front of the auction hall, and the others followed closely behind.

Xu Xingluo stamped her feet, her eyes red with grievance: "Mom, Brother Xingzhou still can't forgive me. What should I do? I don't know what's the point of living anymore."

Liu Huimin hugged her lovingly: "Don't cry, baby. I will help you. The doctor said you should be happy every day and not think too much. Your father and I will bring you what you want."

She never wanted to see her daughter lying in a pool of blood, dying again.

Liu Huimin and Xu Guangyao exchanged glances.

Xu Guangyao said: "Don't worry, Huo Xingzhou will definitely be yours."

Inside the auction hall.

The seats had been arranged in advance. The elders from the Xu and Huo families sat on the other side, while the slightly younger generation sat on the left. Qiao Xi could even see Sun Shao from a distance.

When Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi appeared hand in hand, everyone in the hall witnessed the elegance of this traditional Chinese medicine apprentice.

She is beautiful, has excellent medical skills, and is very capable.

He doesn't look like a country bumpkin at all. It's true that clothes make the man.

Qiao Xi gently covered her chest and bent down to sit down. Huo Xingzhou was next to her. Across a narrow aisle were Xu Xingluo and Xiang Huai. Next to them sat a fat, big-eared wealthy businessman in a flowered shirt.

"That's Xiang Ming, Xiang Huai's uncle."

Seeing her gaze linger on him, Huo Xingzhou reminded her.

"Yeah." Qiao Xi just felt that Xiang Ming's eyes were weird, which made her very uncomfortable.

The lights in the venue came on, and the host of the auction room picked up the microphone and said, "The annual Rongde auction begins now."
