Chapter 32: It’s so hard to coax a man

Qiao Xi was stunned by his questioning.

She had never thought of relying on Huo Xingzhou's power. Moreover, the Huo family's first branch was under pressure everywhere, and the second branch was already in a very difficult situation.

"Qiao Xi, am I really that incompetent?"

"No, Mr. Huo."

Qiao Xi tried to explain, but she was tongue-tied and had no experience in coaxing men.

The elevator stopped at the 21st floor, and Huo Xingzhou controlled the wheelchair and went out without hesitation. Qiao Xi had to jog to catch up with him and chased him into the ward door.

"Mr. Huo!"

She blushed and said, "You are so outstanding, how can you not show it off! I am just afraid of troubling you!"

The man turned sideways and looked into her almond-shaped eyes inquiringly, and saw sincerity in them.

"Mr. Huo, I am an ordinary person, and you are a gifted person. You will suffer if you are associated with me."

She grew up in the countryside and had never seen such a handsome man.

To her, he was her life-saving straw, a kind-hearted person who enabled her to leave the mountain village and experience the prosperity of the big city.

It is someone who is kept in mind and cherished.

"I don't want people to talk about you marrying a country girl. How can a marriage that ends at the beginning be a stain on you?"

Her voice was remarkably firm.

Huo Xingzhou held the sides of the wheelchair tightly with both hands, his blood boiling.

At that moment, all horses were silent, everything was silent, only the thunderous heartbeat and the throbbing eardrums were heard.

Every cell in my body is buzzing.

He spoke in a hoarse voice, "You say you are a country girl, but I am a barren cripple. As they say, a country girl and a cripple are a perfect match. Who is more noble than the other?"

"Mr. Huo..."

Qiao Xi looked at him in surprise.

"Qiao Xi, we are equal."

Huo Xingzhou's usually stern eyes were now filled with gentle waves. He sensed the inferiority complex hidden deep in Qiao Xi's bones and felt a little distressed.

"sorry."

Qiao Xi said gloomily.

"Help me get the ointment from the drawer."

"good."

Qiao Xi quickly handed the tube of red ointment from the drawer to him. Huo Xingzhou opened it, squeezed out the milky white ointment, and looked up at her.

"Hold out your hands."

Qiao Xi spread her hands obediently.

There were blood-red nail marks on the back of his hand, which were left by the middle-aged woman.

Only when she relaxed did she feel the burning sensation.

Huo Xingzhou applied the ointment to her wound, gently spreading it, feeling cool. Qiao Xi just looked at him, thinking, "If... there was no agreement, that would be great."

"alright."

He put the ointment in the pocket of her white coat.

"Then I'll go see Dr. Yan."

"Go ahead."

He was also about to settle a score with someone.

As soon as Qiao Xi walked out of the ward, she saw Director Wu nodding and bowing, while Wu Yachun stood anxiously beside him.

"Qiao Xi, I was blind to the truth. Please forgive me. You don't have to do any odd jobs anymore. You just need to follow Doctor Yan from now on."

He smiled obsequiously, with fat bulging out of his chubby face.

"Qiao Xi, I'm sorry. It was Ye Manman who misled me. I will definitely stay away from you in the future and not let you get upset." Wu Yachun was about to cry.

Qiao Xi watched their performance quietly and said, "You are not qualified to be doctors. I have things to do."

She walked around them and left.

Wu Yachun's eyes were filled with tears. "Uncle, will she...will she take revenge on us?"

Director Wu looked unhappy. "She is nothing to be afraid of."

Before Wu Yachun could be happy, he added: "But Huo Xingzhou will not let us go."

That man was never a good person.

…

At this moment.

The discussion in the Haicheng University forum is still fermenting, and scandals are flying everywhere.

What happened in the hospital has not yet spread to the school.

"Have you heard? Qiao Xi seems to be fired from the city hospital."

"She got the internship quota by selling her body. The school seems to be investigating her and her tutor, and may expel her."

"Is this still uncertain? I don't believe there will be a reversal. It's set in stone."

"She looks aloof, but she does everything in private. I don't know how many men she has been with."

There was a heated discussion in the forum.

Suddenly, Huo Sijiao posted using her real name!

She is a graduate of Haicheng University and her account has attracted a lot of attention.

She posted a photo.

Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi's marriage certificate.

"As shown in the picture. Anyone who spreads rumors and slanders my sister-in-law will receive a court summons."

Strong warning!

"Huo Sijiao's sister-in-law is Qiao Xi?"

"Has this world gone mad? This must be an illusion!"

"I thought Qiao Xi might have been wrongly accused, but I never thought she would marry into a wealthy family!"

The whole school was shocked!

No one expected that Qiao Xi would marry Huo Xingzhou.

Those photos posted were the daily life of a rich young lady, who rode in different luxury cars every day. She didn't need to seduce any old men at all.

How can I be considered a mistress if I take these intimate photos of her and her husband?

At most, it was just a private affair, but it ruined her reputation when the video was secretly taken and published.

The person who hurt her is so disgusting!

"Who spread the rumor? Anonymous, right? He must be jealous of Qiao Xi."

"I didn't say anything. The person who cursed the most in the post will be held accountable by the Huo family."

Ye Manman hid in the dormitory, scrolling through her phone frantically, her eyes were bloodshot and she was sweating from nervousness.

No, the forum is anonymous.

They won't know she's the culprit.

Suddenly, the school issued a notice saying that the forum technology had been upgraded and all posts were real-name registered. All anonymous posts showed their real names.

The three words "Ye Manman" are very eye-catching.

Her remarks were vulgar and smelly.

"Qiao Xi is a bitch, she wants to hook up with any man."

"A pair of rotten shoes that have been slept with."

He doesn't look like a well-educated college student at all.

"ah!"

Ye Manman smashed her phone and let out a roar of despair.

The other roommates looked at her with wariness and disdain.

"Ye Manman, you are going too far. How did Qiao Xi offend you? We have been classmates for many years, and yet you are harming her like this."

"Your online loan collection agency has called me and leaked my address book. You are not a beautiful, rich woman at all. You borrowed money to buy branded goods."

"fraud!"

That day, the school decided to expel Ye Manman.

She was like a rat crossing the street, everyone was shouting and beating her.

…

And Haicheng People's Hospital, Director's Office.

Huo Xingzhou lazily leaned on the wheelchair, looked at the cup of tea in front of him and said, "I am a patient, what kind of tea should I drink? Don't you have any common sense?"

"If you don't want to drink, you can leave."

Xu Xiuyuan sat in his office chair and spoke with a stern face.

"Xu Xiuyuan, the hospital administration is under your charge. My people were bullied, and as the dean, didn't you say anything?" Huo Xingzhou said, putting aside his smile.

"Wu Yachun will be punished by record, and Wu Ming will be demoted." Xu Xiuyuan put down his pen and said.

"Not enough. They have to do odd jobs for a month and learn how to take care of patients."

Huo Xingzhou wanted to vent Qiao Xi's anger.

“This is not in compliance with hospital regulations.”

"The rules are fixed, but you can bend them."

"Huo Xingzhou, why are you targeting them like this? Are you venting your anger on Qiao Xi, or are you unable to forget the old friendship?" Xu Xiuyuan stared at him intently with sharp eyes.
