Chapter 323 I'm Not Angry
Liu Huimin's eyes were filled with panic, and she had no strength left in her body: "Xixi, I..."
With her expression, what is there for others to not understand?
It was indeed Liu Huimin who did it.
Even Old Lady Liu was stunned for a while, as if she was recognizing her daughter for the first time.
She raised her hand and slapped him hard.
snap.
It was particularly clear and loud in the spacious living room, followed by her questions and scolding.
"Liu Huimin, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
"You disappoint me so much! How could you do such a thing?"
The old lady's heart tightened for a moment, her brows furrowed as she stared at her with a strange look: "Liu Huimin, there should be a limit to your nonsense. We don't blame you for doting on Xu Xingluo before and not crossing the bottom line. But what did Qiao Xi do wrong?"
Qiao Xi did nothing wrong.
And he has so much kindness towards the Liu family.
But Liu Huimin repays kindness with enmity!
Old Lady Liu picked up her cane and hit her leg hard: "There is retribution in this world!"
Liu Huimin was in agony, suffering: "Mom! I have already tasted retribution! I have been running around outside all day, just to find connections to solve this matter. But Ma Hongwen said that it cannot be revoked. I went home to confess to you! But I didn't expect..."
She didn't expect Qiao Xi to know about this!
It caught me off guard.
Old Lady Liu said coldly: "What have you not thought of? Who knows whether what you said is true or false! When you did evil things, why didn't you think of the retribution you would receive today?"
Liu Huimin burst into tears: "It's my fault. Why... must it be punished on my own daughter? This is like cutting out my own flesh and blood."
She wished she could take his place.
"My dearest one?"
When Qiao Xi heard this word, she wanted to laugh.
She felt sour in her heart, and looked at Liu Huimin and said, "It's really happy to be your sweetheart. I have seen with my own eyes how much you love Xu Xingluo. You would do anything for her, even break the limit. But I am not your sweetheart, and I have never been loved.
If someone hears you saying this, they might misunderstand you."
The most helpless thing for Qiao Xi in this world is to let Liu Huimin become her biological mother.
Qiao Xi knew too well how much Liu Huimin loved Xu Xingluo. She had envied Xu Xingluo for having a mother who loved her and a family who protected her.
But when all this happened to her, Qiao Xi just thought it was a joke!
She could not forget the harm Liu Huimin had caused her for Xu Xingluo.
"Xixi, I was wrong..." Liu Huimin looked at her in tears, devastated, "I just had an idea at the beginning, but it's too late to take it back. I deserve to be punished for my wrongdoing, but you can't! Don't participate in the competition, okay?"
You will lose!
If you lose, the consequences will be dire.
She had finally found her biological daughter, how could she bear to let her suffer like that!
"Please, Xixi. Don't be angry with us. As long as you don't participate in the competition, we will agree to anything you want."
She looked at her with tears in her eyes, and Qiao Xi clenched her hands into fists.
Qiao Xi looked at her and asked seriously, "Do you think I'm being timid? I'm not that naive. I won't take advantage of other people's sympathy to do something bad to myself."
Maybe Xu Xingluo would often use this method to force Liu Huimin to feel distressed and thus achieve her goal.
But Qiao Xi won't.
She said: "I knew from a young age that hurting myself and threatening others was useless, and I didn't want to embarrass my grandmother. No one would pay for my self-conceit because I didn't have the capital to indulge in my willful behavior."
Liu Huimin looked at her in a daze.
Qiao Xi's tone was flat and her expression was indifferent.
But Liu Huimin felt that the sharpest scalpel in the world could not compare to these few words, which hurt her deeply!
She finally understood how cruel she was to Qiao Xi when she exchanged the children and everything she did after they reunited!
"I'm not being angry, and I can't withdraw."
Qiao Xi's throat was swollen, and she managed to maintain a calm voice, "I came here just to know the truth."
Now, she has her answer.
Liu Huimin burst into tears.
She covered her heart, feeling a suffocating pain coming over her.
Old Mrs. Liu wiped her tears and choked with sobs until she couldn't make a sound.
Liu Zongquan sighed deeply: "Child, I know you don't want to recognize us, but think about it from another perspective. Think of us as your connections, connections that you can use at any time. With these connections, you can also gain a firm foothold in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in the future."
He is really good at persuading people.
But Qiao Xi is not a realistic person.
Her almond-shaped eyes were clear and calm: "Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary."
Seeing that he could not convince her, Liu Zongquan turned to look at Huo Xingzhou and said, "Xingzhou, this is not a trivial matter. Lu Bannong has a lot of connections in his business. He has an old grudge with Mr. Cheng and will definitely not let his successor go easily. Can you just watch her suffer?"
Huo Xingzhou sat on the sofa and looked up at him: "Can you change the result of the registration?"
"I... I'll find a way." Liu Zongqun was not sure if he could interfere in the affairs of traditional Chinese medicine, as different fields are like different worlds.
Sometimes power is useless in the face of certain things.
Huo Xingzhou's lips curled up slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "If you are not 100% sure, don't make promises easily.
We all know that this result cannot be changed. The reputation of a top Chinese medicine family is sometimes more prestigious than the rich and powerful. After all, no one can guarantee that they will be free of illness and pain throughout their lives and will not seek medical treatment. Didn’t your family once lower their posture and ask Lu Bannong to save people? "
So even though the Lu family is not one of the four major families in the imperial capital, the reputation of Lu Bannong and his daughter Lu Yingxue is at its peak!
Even the old lady of the Zhong family once praised her, saying that Lu Yingxue was worthy of being the mistress of the Zhong family.
Perhaps, the next young lady of the Zhong family will be Lu Yingxue.
Liu Zongquan was speechless after hearing his words that mentioned a gun and a stick.
He knew that there was nothing he could do.
Qiao Xi wanted to participate in the competition, and they couldn't withdraw the registration that had already been announced.
At that time, the disciple of the traditional Chinese medicine doctor Cheng Han was criticized as a coward and a loser, and his reputation was ruined. In this line of work, reputation is very important.
Huo Xingzhou is not a kind person. The Liu family should suffer for what they did.
Qiao Xi would not commit suicide to make them feel bad, but Huo Xingzhou was even more sinister and would still sell out the misery that was due.
He pulled up Qiao Xi's hand, the red pinholes on it looked creepy.
"If you have any patients, feel free to refer them to Qiao Xi for treatment, so that she won't have to pierce her own acupuncture points in order to improve her acupuncture skills."
Liu Huimin looked at her wounds, covered her mouth, and tried hard to hold back her tears.
It's like a knife cutting through my heart.
She covered her stuffy chest, and her hands and feet became numb and gradually cold.
Her eyes seemed to pop out of her head and she gasped for breath. Her limbs were limp as she knelt on the carpet, leaning over and groaning in disgust.
I even felt weak all over, had difficulty breathing, and had convulsions!
