Chapter 131 I Hope You Get Divorced
"Qiao Xi, I hope you can divorce Xing Zhou.
Huo Jian looks elegant and refined, and his face is somewhat similar to Huo Xingzhou's, but he does not have such a sharp and cold temperament.
His words were like a wake-up call.
Qiao Xi was completely confused: "Why?"
They are a happy family that usually gets along well with each other, so why would my father-in-law have such thoughts?
"He and Xu Xingluo are inseparable. Ten years ago, Xingluo saved Huo Xingzhou, and he promised to protect her for life. Without Xu Xingluo, there would be no Huo Xingzhou today."
Qiao Xi was hit hard by these words.
She stammered, "The car accident has been paid off. One life for another."
"They have been in love for more than ten years and she is willing to commit suicide for him. Is his kindness to you a love between a man and a woman or a favor to him for saving his life? If it is a love between a man and a woman, how deep can it be in just three months?"
"I am very grateful to you for saving my son. As compensation, I will give you 50 million. I hope you can accept it and sign the divorce agreement."
Qiao Xi's head was buzzing, and she followed her instinct and said, "If he doesn't ask for a divorce, I won't divorce."
She couldn't bear to let go.
Huo Jiancheng said patiently, "Child, I am doing this for your own good. If Xu Xingluo dies, can you live together in peace? Besides, my son will definitely marry Xu Xingluo, believe me!"
He was very determined.
Qiao Xi felt uneasy. Why was he so determined?
Huo Jiancheng emphasized again: "I don't want you to get hurt too much, so get out of here as soon as possible."
He was giving a friendly reminder, and there wasn't even a trace of calculation in his eyes.
Qiao Xi bit her teeth tightly, feeling confused: "Sorry."
"Do you have to hit your head against a wall before you turn back?" Huo Jiancheng was very disappointed with his failure.
Qiao Xi's eyes turned red: "If he is the south wall, I will accept it."
She had never been favored blatantly before, and Mr. Huo was the first one.
"Kid, you're going to regret this."
Huo Jiancheng shook his head. He looked at her with regret and pity, "My conditions are still valid. The check for 50 million is ready for you at any time. Don't tell Xingzhou about this."
Having said that, he left.
Qiao Xi stood in the corridor for a long time, and she suddenly realized that not everyone in the Huo family wanted her to grow old with Huo Xingzhou.
If her father-in-law hadn't said this, she wouldn't have known his true thoughts.
What about mother-in-law and Jiaojiao?
Do they also feel deep down that she is not worthy of Huo Xingzhou?
Why must Huo Xingzhou marry Xu Xingluo?
…
When Qiao Xi returned to the inpatient corridor, Huo Xingzhou was no longer in Ward 2122. She took out the golden needle and went to Ward 2121.
Xu Xingluo opened the door of the ward, leaned out and called her.
"Qiao Xi."
Her face was delicate and tender, revealing a bright and bold smile, "Last night, Brother Xingzhou took care of me all night long, you don't mind, do you?"
"He held me, talked to me, and fed me water." Xu Xingluo was filled with happiness, "He still couldn't bear to see me sad."
Qiao Xi's blood seemed to freeze, and a cold chill spread from her limbs to her brain.
She looked at Xu Xingluo coldly and asked, "Why didn't you say these things in front of Huo Xingzhou? The photos posted on WeChat Moments are only visible to me? Is being a mistress something that brings honor to the family?"
"You...you are the mistress! We already had an engagement, you are the latecomer!"
"He and I have obtained our marriage certificate and are a legal couple. Who are you?" Qiao Xi said slowly.
Xu Xingluo's face flushed: "You will get divorced sooner or later."
Qiao Xi laughed and said, "Is it just your ability to stick to him like a slug? Since you are so sure that we want a divorce, why don't you let him propose it?"
"Qiao Xi, you...what you said is so rude!"
"Xu Xingluo, if the Liu family still wants me to treat Liu Zongyun, I advise you not to anger me." Qiao Xi's eyes were icy cold and threatening.
Xu Xingluo seemed to have caught something and sneered, "You are a doctor, it is your duty to save the dying and the wounded! If you don't treat it, you will be drowned in spit."
Qiao Xi approached her, feeling a chill all over her body.
An unknown anger rose in my heart.
"Just because my job has high moral standards, I will be taken advantage of by you again and again? What on earth would he like about someone like you who has no moral bottom line and no sense of shame?"
Qiao Xi spoke in a clear voice, looking straight at her: "I used to think you were elegant and noble, but now... you are the daughter of the Xu family, it's really shocking."
Xu Xingluo was left speechless by what she said, breathing heavily.
Qiao Xi gave her a cold look, then turned and entered Liu Zongyun's ward.
She calmed down and heard the sound of something being smashed in the next ward. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly. She spread out the needle bag and calmly gave Liu Zongyun an injection.
As the long needle fell, Liu Zongyuan's leg muscles moved slightly, visible to the naked eye.
Qiao Xi suspected that she had seen it wrong.
She gave him a few more injections and could see his slightest tremors.
Is this a reaction of the pain nerve?
Liu Zongyun might still have some consciousness left, so Qiao Xi pressed the bell and asked the nurse to ask a neurologist to consult and determine Liu Zongyun's specific condition.
One hour later.
Neurosurgeons arrived and determined after diagnosis that Liu Zongyun was conscious.
"Dr. Qiao, your judgment is correct. We also want to participate in the next treatment. This may become a typical case in the country."
The human brain is a very magical thing, and it is an area that medicine has not yet completely conquered.
Some vegetative patients suddenly wake up.
Qiao Xi said calmly, "Welcome."
…
late at night.
The Rolls-Royce stopped at the Huo family's small villa. Huo Xingzhou's eyes were tinged with blue, two buttons of his white shirt were undone, and he smelled faintly of alcohol.
He got out of the car expressionlessly and walked into the villa.
Chen Xun followed Huo Xingzhou, holding his laptop and coat.
In the living room, Aunt Qian was watching an idol drama. When she heard the noise, she stood up immediately.
"Aunt Qian, Mr. Huo drank a lot of wine at the social gathering tonight. Please prepare a bowl of sobering soup for him." Chen Xun said.
"Okay. Why are you drinking again?"
Aunt Qian turned off the TV, took the coat from Chen Xun, and poured Huo Xingzhou a glass of warm water.
Huo Xingzhou took a sip and looked up at the clock on the wall. The hour hand showed twelve o'clock.
It’s quite late, she should go to bed.
Aunt Qian reminded, "Master, the young mistress has switched shifts with someone else tonight and is said to be on the night shift."
There are already few night shifts in the Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Department, and Qiao Xi is more capable so she has even fewer shifts.
Huo Xingzhou frowned slightly. Was he on duty or a huddled turtle?
Xu Xingluo's suicide was no secret. Considering his sudden departure last night, the jealous girl would definitely think too much.
She didn't call him at all today.
"Being a doctor is really hard. Staying up late on duty is also very tiring. Staying up late for a long time will make you old. Master, Special Assistant Chen, I will make you some more midnight snacks."
Chen Xun waved his hand quickly: "Don't bother, I'll leave first."
Huo Xingzhou shouted calmly: "Wait, come to the study with me."
Chen Xun's heart tightened, and he followed resignedly.
