Chapter 189 Qiao Xi is not your child
Once at the clinic.
Qiao Xi walked towards the living room behind the clinic.
She pushed open the old lady's door and saw the familiar handsome face inside. Her smile faded: "Why are you here?"
Xu Yunye leaned on a cane and looked at her with a smile: "Grandma Qiao asked me to come here. She cooked me some preserved egg and lean meat porridge. It's delicious!"
He is fearless.
Grandma Qiao also smiled lovingly: "Yun Ye is a good-looking and sensible child, with a sweet mouth and is likable."
She liked Xu Yunye very much and thought he looked very friendly.
Grandma Qiao can already get out of bed and walk, but she can't walk very well.
"I came here because Grandma Qiao likes me. Doctor Qiao, don't always pick on me. I have a backer." His almond-shaped eyes, which were exactly the same as Qiao Xi's, were full of cunning and complacency.
Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said, "So what are you doing? Stacking gold ingots?"
"Today is your father's death anniversary. I want to burn some paper money for him. This way he will have money to take care of himself and live a carefree life in the afterlife." Grandma Qiao said with a dim look in her eyes.
The older generation all have this idea, which is deeply rooted in their bones.
They believe that dead people have souls and that there are ten kings of hell, so they burn incense and paper money for the dead during festivals.
"Grandma, we can't just burn paper money here. Can we go back to the village to worship later?"
Grandma Qiao pursed her lips and held the paper money helplessly.
"Grandma, next time we have a break, we will go back to our hometown." Qiao Xi hugged the frail old lady and said distressedly, "Let's go back together."
Grandma Qiao nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Okay, let's go home and worship together."
Qiao Xi stroked her graying hair and said, "You can first stack all the paper money, the more the better. We can take it back to the countryside and burn it for Dad."
She has almost no memory of her father.
He died at a very young age.
Xu Yunye stood aside and felt the suffering of the world for the first time. He lived in luxury in the Xu family and did many ridiculous things to beg for his parents' love. But some people in the world don't even have the opportunity to beg, and they grow up in hardship and difficulty since childhood.
Qiao Xi is like a trumpet creeper growing out of a crack in a steep cliff.
It's so beautiful that it makes people feel sad.
Xu Yunye suddenly felt heavy in his heart and said, "I'll help Grandma Qiao fold the paper money. Doctor Qiao, the patients outside are waiting for you."
Grandma Qiao forced a smile and said, "Nannan, you go to work first."
"good."
Qiao Xi glanced at Xu Yunye with some concern, "Grandma, call me if there's anything."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Grandma Qiao urged.
After Qiao Xi left, Xu Yunye looked at Grandma Qiao and asked, "Did she have a hard life as a child?"
Grandma Qiao smiled and said, "That's right. When the family had no money, she went to pick up scraps. Later, she followed Old Cheng to learn medicine. When she was seven or eight years old, she went into the mountains to collect herbs, saying that herbs could be sold for money. The children in the village even bullied her because she had no parents and refused to play with her..."
As Grandma Qiao gets older, the past events become clearer in her mind.
A small figure suddenly appeared in Xu Yunye's mind, watching her friends playing pitifully, she was covered in mud and was abandoned. Without the love of her parents, she had to bear the burden of life.
In comparison, what is he?
Xu Xingluo is even more of a piece of shit!
His heart ached slightly and an indescribable palpitation surged up in his heart.
"Yun Ye, has your family or your relatives ever lost a child?" Grandma Qiao suddenly asked.
She had a very absurd guess in her mind.
I always feel that the two children look very similar from certain angles.
She knew that Qiao Xi was not a child of the Qiao family.
Xu Yunye was startled, and said slowly: "We have never lost a child in our family. My sister..."
Xu Xingluo and Xu Guangyao look so alike, and they have had a very good father-daughter relationship since childhood.
How could such a ridiculous possibility exist?
"I was just asking casually." Grandma Qiao smiled unnaturally.
She is really crazy!
Her health has been deteriorating recently and she can feel that walking is much more difficult than before.
"Grandma Qiao, why do you ask that? Isn't Qiao Xi your child..."
"Of course she is!"
Grandma Qiao emphasized, "I raised him, so of course he is my child." She didn't dare to tell this secret, for fear that the Huo family would have some opinion of Qiao Xi.
What if her biological parents are sinners and not good people?
Xu Yunye no longer had such thoughts.
You can't just think that a girl who looks familiar and similar to you is your sister when you see her.
He must have been harmed by Xu Xingluo!
…
Qiao Xi was busy in the clinic all day.
In the evening, she could see luxury cars leaving the gate of Tianyuan Group from afar. Many senior executives were heading to Jinling Hotel, and the Rolls-Royce was also on the way.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue said enviously, "It's really lively."
"yes."
Qiao Xi had a gentle smile on her face.
"What a pity, Dr. Qiao has to stay with us in the store."
Qiao Xi smiled and said, "Let's close the shop early and give you a day off. You can do whatever you want tonight. I'll stay with grandma."
She was very grateful to Jiang Yue and Wang Lang, who both cared deeply about Grandma Qiao.
"Okay, I was just looking for an opportunity to go out to the night market." Jiang Yueyuan's face was full of surprise, "I'll pack up and go out now."
Qiao Xi looked at Wang Lang who was absent-mindedly sitting in the corner and asked, "Wang Lang, are you feeling unwell?"
Wang Lang was startled and shook his head: "My dad has been in the hospital for surgery these days, I'm a little worried. I'll go see him tonight..."
Qiao Xi said generously: "Then you will have tomorrow off as well, take good care of your father."
"Um."
Wang Lang looked at her hesitantly, but swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He lowered his head, his eyes full of struggle.
…
Night falls.
The bustling streets were lit up with colorful lights, and the night scene of Haicheng was presented to the world.
It was like a dream and very lively.
Eight o'clock.
Jinling Hotel was booked by Tianyuan Group, and nearly a hundred people gathered there.
Zhou Yu, dressed like a peacock, spoke on behalf of the president. He was always good at inspiring people and saying something passionate. Huo Xingzhou gave him the job of showing off.
So, Zhou Yu held the microphone on the stage and gave speeches to the middle and senior management to boost morale.
Huo Xingzhou sat at the main table, drinking lazily with his eyes downcast, the Patek Philippe watch on his wrist was very dazzling. Next to him sat Huo Jiancheng, and next to him were Xu Guangyao and his daughter.
Xu Xingluo's eyes were always glued to Huo Xingzhou.
At this time, the chef of Jinling Hotel appeared with a bamboo food box and said to Huo Xingzhou respectfully, "Mr. Huo, these are two portions of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that you asked the kitchen to pack. Please take a look. Is there anything else you need?"
"No, please take me outside. My driver will take over. I will be leaving soon."
Huo Xingzhou said calmly with a cold expression.
"OK."
Xu Xingluo asked in confusion: "Brother Xingzhou, why are you still packing?"
"Qiao Xi loves to eat." He didn't even raise his eyelids, looking very indifferent.
Xu Xingluo was burning with jealousy. This country girl had never seen the world and even wanted to pack up the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!
Just wait and see!
Tonight, Qiao Xi will be in excruciating pain!
