Chapter 304 Little Doctor, You Lost
Sitting in the living room was a woman dressed in plain and modest clothes.
Her hair was tied up in a bun, and her face was bare but she looked pretty good. She took a sip of water from the teacup, and when she saw Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou come in, she stood up awkwardly.
"Mr. Huo."
Her gaze turned to Qiao Xi, and with mixed feelings she finally called out, "Xi Xi..."
Qiao Xi didn't expect that the person who came was Zhao Yuzhen.
She once longed for motherly love from her, but was repeatedly disappointed.
"Sit down."
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, pulling Qiao Xi to sit on the other side.
Zhao Yuzhen sat down slowly, her eyes fixed on Qiao Xi as she said, "I heard... you already know your origins? You are definitely not my daughter."
Qiao Xi lowered her eyes: "Yeah."
The Huo family went to Zhao Yuzhen because they wanted to know the details of what happened back then.
Zhao Yuzhen sighed: "I never thought you were Liu Huimin's daughter. I gave birth to a stillborn baby, and my husband took you home because he was afraid I would be sad. I always knew you were not my biological daughter..."
"So after he died, I remarried. After I gave birth to that child, I was not in good health and could not get pregnant. I felt resentful towards you, and that's why I did those things."
Zhao Yuzhen was filled with hatred.
Why did her daughter die and someone else's daughter get to enjoy all this?
Qiao Xi became her punching bag.
"That piece of topaz came to our house with you. I thought you might be the illegitimate daughter of some wealthy family, and you were not allowed to see the public."
Zhao Yuzhen said a lot, and her eyes were wet at the end.
Qiao Xi took out a tissue and handed it to her, "Wipe it off."
Zhao Yuzhen took the tissue and looked at her with red eyes: "I'm sorry."
"Thank you for telling me this, and thank you for not just leaving me in an orphanage."
Zhao Yuzhen was also honest: "I was planning to give you away, but your grandmother wouldn't let me."
Speaking of her grandmother, Qiao Xi felt depressed.
The best person to her is no longer alive.
Zhao Yuzhen felt guilty towards her, but was also happy that she had found her biological parents: "Qiao Xi, when you return to the Liu family, they will definitely treat you well. I know too well how much they love Xu Xingluo, and that love originally belonged to you."
There is no doubt that the Liu family dotes on their children, especially girls.
"I have no intention of recognizing them."
Speaking of the Liu family, Qiao Xi's face turned cold, "I'm living a good life now, I don't need any extra love."
Zhao Yuzhen paused, then sighed when she thought about what the Liu family had done to her.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Huo Xingzhou said, "Old Chen, send Ms. Zhao back to the hotel to rest."
"Okay, Master."
Zhao Yuzhen stood up slowly, looked at Qiao Xi several times, and finally left helplessly.
Qiao Xi sat in the living room, pursing her lips tightly.
She exuded unhappiness.
"Who made my wife angry?" Huo Xingzhou rubbed her head.
Qiao Xi looked puzzled and annoyed: "Why do they all think that I will return to the Liu family? Can money and power offset the harm that has been caused? I am Liu Huimin's daughter, do I have to acknowledge her?"
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "Qiao Xi, follow your heart. If you don't want to acknowledge me now, then we won't. I have already negotiated with the Liu family to not announce your background to the public for the time being."
Qiao Xi didn't want people to know that Liu Huimin was her biological mother.
Huo Xingzhou helped her to settle it.
"But the Liu family made such a big fuss that they can't keep it secret for long."
Qiao Xi was extremely depressed when she saw the gift boxes that had not yet been moved out of the entrance.
Huo Xingzhou's mouth sank slightly: "Without the formal recognition of the parties involved, nothing can be considered true. They can only speculate, and such speculations are absurd."
The Xu family and the Huo family had a marriage contract that year, and Xu Xingluo escaped from the scene to surprise the couple.
The Huo family rushed to the market and chose the Su family.
The Su family found a country girl to take over, and it turned out that the girl was actually the real daughter of the Xu family.
Apart from someone with a wild imagination like Sun Weimeng, who else could believe that such a bizarre coincidence would happen to Qiao Xi?
Fate is amazing.
Qiao Xi nodded.
Seeing her unhappy look, Huo Xingzhou said, "Our bet has not yet been decided."
Qiao Xi suddenly looked up at him, and suddenly remembered what the man said last night, that if he lost, she could do whatever she wanted. Her mind became active, and she took out her cell phone and said, "I'll call Shu Xue now to get information about the military situation."
She is easy to coax.
Maybe the world is too simple, or maybe I have been bullied too much.
She is tough and stubborn.
Like a small green bamboo growing out of a crack in a rock, it unyieldingly grows upwards.
Qiao Xi dialed the number and did not forget to confirm: "Mr. Huo, are you really willing to do anything if you lose?"
The man opened his lips and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
The man in front of her was abstaining from sex, and many images flashed through Qiao Xi's mind.
If he were to...
Before Qiao Xi had time to think, the call was connected.
She turned on speakerphone.
Shu Xue asked, "Qiao Xi, I heard that you were discharged from the hospital. How are you now?"
Qiao Xi replied, "Shuxue, I'm fine. I want to ask if Mr. Zhou sent you home safely last night?"
When Zhou Yu was mentioned, Shu Xue felt angry.
The person was sent home, but whether he was safe or not is another matter.
The biggest pervert she met last night was Zhou Yu.
Shu Xue suppressed her anger and said, "It has been delivered."
Qiao Xi heard the noisy voice from her side and asked, "Are you out?"
"Yes. I'm not going to work today. Qin Yuan and I are going out on a date."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi's heart sank.
Qiao Xi continued to ask, "So what are your plans with Qin Yuan? Have you decided to date?"
Shu Xue's tone was emotionless: "Blind dates are different from normal dating. Next week our parents have decided to have a meal together to establish a preliminary relationship."
next week!
Qiao Xi's heart sank.
"Shuxue, have fun. Come to the villa when you have time. I'll ask Aunt Qian to prepare delicious food for you."
"OK."
The call was disconnected.
Qiao Xi met the man's half-smiley eyes and felt flustered.
She bit her lip. She never thought that the atmosphere had reached such a level last night, and Zhou Yu still hadn't made peace with Shu Xue.
Mr. Zhou is so lame!
Why can't he give in?
Huo Xingzhou crossed his bony fingers and spoke in a slow, low voice: "What should we do? The little doctor lost."
What to do?
Qiao Xi didn't expect that she could lose so completely. She thought that according to the relationship between Zhou Yu and Shu Xue, they neither made peace nor broke up completely, and maintained the status quo.
Then at least she could fight Huo Xingzhou to a draw.
Unexpectedly, Shu Xue went straight to date Qin Yuan.
"Should we fulfill the bet?"
Huo Xingzhou originally proposed the bet just to cheer her up and divert her attention from her life experience.
But I didn't expect that the biggest beneficiary would be myself.
Qiao Xi was confused when she thought about the bet he had casually mentioned at that time.
Can I cheat?
