Chapter 312 Liu Huimin is making trouble again
"You are so good, Liu Huimin! You actually did such a sinister thing behind my back."
Du Ya had a gloomy face and shouted fiercely.
"You are such a scoundrel! I thought you treated Xu Xingluo like your own daughter and spoiled her to no end. This is just a problem of education, but I didn't expect that you also have problems with your character. If you hadn't morally kidnapped Qiao Xi, she wouldn't have punished Liu Zongyun!"
You are so shameless!"
Du Ya just wanted to take a long detour to leave some space for the couple to be alone. However, she happened to hear Liu Huimin on the phone. She teamed up with Ma Hongwen from the Haicheng Chinese Medicine Association to harm Qiao Xi.
Liu Huimin covered her cheeks and looked at Du Ya in panic.
"I regret it too! I was trying to find a way to make amends. At the time, I... I was really possessed by the devil."
Du Ya was furious: "I don't think you are possessed by a ghost, you are evil by nature. Even if she is not your biological daughter, but just a stranger, there is no need for you to kill her all."
Du Ya is not interested in the Chinese medicine industry.
She had no idea that Qiao Xi had been signed up to participate in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Festival.
I don’t know what consequences she will have to bear as Cheng Han’s apprentice.
But Du Ya understood everything from the phone call Liu Huimin made just now!
She asked why Qiao Xi had been practicing the Plum Blossom Nine Needles without sleep and had to return to the hospital.
The child was obviously reluctant to spend money, but he still came to the auction.
Because she participated in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Festival.
If others lose, they lose, but if she loses, she will lose half her life!
Because she was Cheng Han's apprentice, because she touched the red line that divided the North and the South, and violated the agreement of traditional Chinese medicine for more than 20 years.
The child was well-behaved and obedient, and even his smile was gentle.
I have to endure such great pressure behind the scenes!
And all of this came from her biological mother!
Du Ya's eyes turned red with distress: "Liu Huimin, you are really not worthy of being a mother!"
Liu Huimin held her hands and begged, "Du Ya, I will do everything I can to disqualify her from the competition. Please, don't tell her! If you tell her, there will be no turning back for us, mother and daughter!"
Du Ya shook her hand off fiercely: "You regret it now, but what were you doing then? Liu Huimin, I misjudged you!"
Liu Huimin's face was covered with tears: "I'm sorry! I will try my best to save her! I will go home immediately to ask my eldest brother for help. I will use all the connections in the Liu family to protect her."
Her heart seemed to be entangled by sharp threads and was bleeding.
Du Ya said angrily, "What if it doesn't work? Tell me, what will happen if I lose?"
Liu Huimin trembled with each word: "If Cheng's acupuncture loses, then... I will have my tendons cut out and become a useless doctor. I will never practice medicine again!"
Back then, the conditions proposed by Lu Bannong were so harsh.
I don't know why Cheng Han agreed, but he later retired.
Du Ya wanted to slap her a few more times, but hitting her alone was not enough to vent her anger!
"Du Ya, please don't tell her that it was me... who did this behind the scenes. There's still some time before the needle testing conference, please give me another chance!"
Du Ya straightened up, "Qiao Xi needs to know about this! Liu Huimin, you should take care of yourself!"
She turned and walked away.
Bang.
Liu Huimin knelt on the ground with her back straight.
"Azalea!"
"We have known each other since childhood, and now we are considered in-laws. I have never asked anyone for anything, but today I am begging you! Give me a little more time. I don't want to disappoint Qiao Xi."
"At first, I never thought that Xu Guangyao would exchange the lives of two children... I am guilty of a heinous crime, but can you please forgive me?"
"Du Ya, please!"
Du Ya turned her head slowly.
She has known Liu Huimin since childhood.
I've seen her charming and superior appearance, and I've seen how, as a daughter of the Liu family, she can easily get everything that others desire.
But I have never seen her kneeling in front of anyone and begging.
Du Ya closed her eyes tightly and said through gritted teeth, "Three days! If I still don't see Qiao Xi's name disappear from the public list after three days, I will tell her everything."
"Thank you. Thank you."
Liu Huimin wiped away her tears in a hurry.
Du Ya took a deep breath and left in a confused state.
…
In the evening, the sky is filled with rosy clouds.
Qiao Xi returned home, changed her clothes, and treated the wound on her palm behind Huo Xingzhou's back. The toxins were expelled from her, and her skin returned to its original color, with only a few barely visible pinholes.
It hurts a little to touch.
There were footsteps in the corridor outside the door.
Qiao Xi quickly packed up the medicine box and put it aside.
Aunt Qian pushed open the door and said with a smile, "Madam, the young master wants you to go to the study."
"Okay, right away."
Qiao Xi didn't think much about it and walked out of the room.
She walked along the corridor to the door of the study and knocked politely.
"Come in."
Qiao Xi walked in.
The man was sitting on a large, soft office chair, his suit jacket had been taken off, and even two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, looking very relaxed and casual.
There was a black gilded wooden box on his desk, and he was reviewing some documents.
"Sit down for a while. I still have a plan to look at."
"good."
Qiao Xi moved a chair and sat next to him, holding her chin with her hands and looking at him. Her clear eyes were filled with a faint smile. A serious man was really attractive, and the love in her heart was about to overflow.
The man lowered his head and scanned the documents, then asked softly, "What's the matter with the red wine stains on your cheongsam?"
He noticed it when he picked her up, but he didn't say anything at the time.
Qiao Xi licked her dry lips and said, "Something unpleasant happened at the auction. Ye Zhimeng spilled red wine on me."
"Accidental or intentional?"
Qiao Xi listened to his deep voice and wanted to keep things quiet. But after thinking about it, she decided to tell the truth.
"She did it on purpose. She bumped into me when she saw me. She even complained to me first, saying that I bumped into her. But Mrs. Ye has already made her apologize."
He raised his eyes slightly: "Got it."
He signed his name in the lower right corner of the document, finally closed the document, looked at Qiao Xi and waved.
Qiao Xi walked over after much hesitation. The man put his arm around her waist and whispered, "How will the auction go today?"
Speaking of auctions, Qiao Xi feels a bit regretful.
"It's a pity that I didn't take photos of the medical books and the bronze acupuncture figurine. But that could also be my guess. These two things may not be useful for the Plum Blossom Nine Needles."
This was the only way she could comfort herself so that she wouldn't care so much.
Huo Xingzhou curled the corners of his mouth, let her sit on his thighs, and held her whole body in his arms.
He asked, "Who took it?"
Qiao Xi shook her head. "It was a guest from Box 1. I didn't see him. But even if there wasn't Box 1, I wouldn't have been able to take the photo. Xiang Mingzhu and Ye Zhimeng from Box 6 didn't seem to want me to get it, so they deliberately made things difficult for me."
Qiao Xi and the Xiang family have had a long-standing feud, and she can understand Xiang Mingzhu's evil deeds.
There was a faint smile hidden in the man's eyes. He stroked her waist with his fingertips and his voice was tender and gentle.
"Little doctor, close your eyes first."
