Chapter 4 Check My Wife

"I'll prove it to you right now."

Qiao Xi dragged out the medicine box from under the bed and opened it.

Nine silver needles with cold light were lined up in a row. She took out a long needle and inserted it quickly and accurately into the acupuncture point on Huo Xingzhou's leg.

She tilted her head, looked at Huo Xingzhou intently, and asked, "Do you feel anything?"

The injection awakened his unconscious legs, and a numbness like being bitten by ants spread. Huo Xingzhou looked at her serious face, and a dark color flashed in his eyes.

He rubbed his index fingertips, turned his head away, his face indifferent, his brows furrowed.

Qiao Xi knew at a glance that he was in pain, so she twisted the tail of the needle and pricked it down a little further, and said softly: "As long as you feel it. I have never treated any famous people, and I don't have a medical qualification certificate. But I am sure that you I can treat your legs.”

"As long as you use acupuncture every day to remove the blood stasis, and then supplement with herbal medicine and massage, you will be able to stand up again in a month at least and half a year at most."

Huo Xingzhou's heart seemed to be plucked by a silk thread, and the hostility disappeared from his handsome face that was full of restraint.

"What do you want?"

There is no charity without reason, he is a businessman.

Qiao Xi stopped moving, feeling a little embarrassed.

"My grandmother was taken to Haicheng by the Su family. They want the big project you have with Tianyuan Group so that... Su Weiwei can marry your cousin."

Even a country girl like her had heard of the Tianyuan Group. It was a multinational group, and although the Huo family was the only one in Haicheng, it was not as big as the Tianyuan Group.

That project is a hot commodity.

Qiao Xi looked at him anxiously.

She felt guilty and thought Huo Xingzhou was unlucky.

Not only will he lose resources, but he will also have to give up his fiancée.

Huo Xingzhou smiled sarcastically.

Seeing this, Qiao Xi said disappointedly: "Sorry, I went too far."

She bent down, pulled out the needle, packed up her medicine box, and left the room.

Huo Xingzhou saw her distraught figure, his eyes darkened. He reached out to take the mobile phone on the bedside table and dialed a number.

"Zhou Yu, it's me."

The man on the other end of the phone looked as if he had seen a ghost. "Huo Er, you really woke up! I thought you would be buried next year."

Huo Xingzhou said succinctly: "Collect some information about the cooperation between Tianyuan Group and Huo's for me, and do something about it."

"Okay." Zhou Yu said seriously, "I'll remind you that the car accident was not simple, but there is no trace at all, and I can't find any evidence."

Huo Xingzhou's expression was cold: "No need to check, I know who it is."

"Could it be your cousin's family?" Zhou Yu was so angry that he cursed. "That bastard has no ability, so he just uses dirty tricks! You sorted out the information, wouldn't you hand it over to him? Then I have to do something more."

Huo Xingzhou interrupted him and said, "Don't worry about it. Check someone else for me."

"Who is it?"

"Qiao Xi..."

"Oh, your wife." Zhou Yu responded repeatedly.

Huo Xingzhou did not refute his address and said, "Check her life experience to see if she has any connection with the first wife."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu breathed quickly: "You mean she was sent by the eldest wife? Then aren't you in danger? You need a bodyguard for 24 hours..."

Huo Xingzhou hung up the phone directly, interrupting Zhou Yu's endless complaints.

He half-closed his eyes, his profile dimming in the light. Thinking of his stubborn and bright new wife, his slender fingers stroked the edge of the bed.

How could it be such a coincidence that he had a disability in both legs, and the Su family sent a replacement bride who said she could cure his legs. The woman lied to him and wanted to exchange the project in his hands.

He never believed that pie in the sky would fall.

Not to mention her looks...

In the living room.

Qiao Xi went downstairs in her bright red wedding dress. Mrs. Huo took her hand and said, "I got you a set of my daughter's clothes. Change into them quickly. I'll take you shopping to buy some clothes and jewelry."

"No, I..."

Mrs. Huo didn't allow her to be polite. She urged her to change her clothes and asked the driver to drive to the bustling shopping mall in Haicheng.

Du Ya started shopping as soon as she entered the mall.

"These, and this one! Pack them all for me. Qiao Xi, they will look great on you."

"It's too expensive. Actually..."

Qiao Xi remembered that Huo Xingzhou said that her mother-in-law's dowry was stuck in the stock market, and she was worried. The cheapest of these clothes cost tens of thousands of yuan, and she couldn't spend that much in the second half of the year.

She can't even pay it back with her little savings.

"Young girls should dress brightly and vividly. A daughter-in-law is half a daughter. Why should mother and daughter be polite to each other?"

A gleam flashed in Qiao Xi's eyes.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law swept the clothing store and then went into the jewelry store.

There are always those short-sighted people who are looking for trouble.

"Hey, Madam Huo. Are you still in the mood to go shopping? Congratulations on hearing that your son has woken up. It's a pity that he has become disabled... Then the inheritance of the Huo family can only belong to the eldest wife." The noble lady covered her lips, taking pleasure in the misfortune.

Huo Xingzhou was too good, surpassing many others. Once he met with misfortune, everyone would step on him.

Du Ya sneered and retorted: "Mrs. Sun, I heard that your son was hospitalized for playing with women. Don't let him die from a woman one day. Oh, it's nothing, warts have nothing to do with it."

"You!" The lady was so angry that she was fuming.

"Me? Even if my son has crippled legs, he is still better than your son! I heard that the Sun family has sought out many famous doctors but none of them could cure his infertility. Your Sun family... is going to be extinct!"

Du Ya's eyes were full of disdain, and every word she spoke touched Mrs. Sun's lungs.

It's an open secret in Haicheng that the only son of the Sun family is not good in sex, but he likes to take medicine and torture himself, which always makes him a joke.

Mrs. Sun refused to give in: "Isn't your son the same? We will find Mr. Cheng sooner or later, and then you don't have to beg me!"

"I beg you? That's ridiculous! Our Xingzhou is a blessed man. Maybe Mr. Cheng will come to him and heal him!"

When it comes to the rivalry among the rich and powerful, Mrs. Huo is always better at verbal sparring.

"You... don't forget that our Sun family still holds the land. I want to see how Huo Xingzhou can settle the projects of Huo's and Tianyuan!"

Mrs. Sun's face turned alternately pale and blue, and she left with her bag.

When Qiao Xi heard about Tianyuan Group's project, a gloomy look appeared in her eyes.

Du Ya adjusted her expression, turned around, pointed to the glass cabinet on the top shelf and said, "Let me see that sapphire necklace."

The salesperson put on white gloves, took down the jewelry box, and praised, "You have a good eye."

Qiao Xi looked at the string of zeros on the price tag and felt dizzy. Before she could react, Du Ya had already put it on her.

The teardrop-shaped sapphire pendant set off Qiao Xi's snow-white skin, and the bright light cast a halo on her body.

"It suits you very well." Mrs. Huo admired it.

Qiao Xi shook her head, bit her lip and said solemnly: "Originally, I dare not refuse the gift from the elder, but you have already given me many things, and I cannot accept this necklace."

"Well, you kid..."

Mrs. Huo looked at her with regret and put the necklace back.

Qiao Xi took the opportunity to express her doubts: "Who is that old Mr. Cheng?" Why does it feel like all the wealthy people in Haicheng are looking for him?

Mrs. Huo held her wrist and said as they walked, "Cheng Han, Mr. Cheng is a traditional Chinese doctor. He is an expert in acupuncture and moxibustion, and specializes in treating difficult and complicated diseases. No matter what disease he treats, he will definitely cure it. But he retired when he was sixty years old. No one knows where he is. We only heard that he accepted an apprentice."

If I can't find myself, it would be good if I can find Cheng Han's apprentice.

Rich people pay more attention to health care. Everyone has headaches and fevers. In the face of life-threatening illnesses, being able to make friends with a famous doctor is a guarantee.

Qiao Xi nodded after hearing this.

Her neighbor in the countryside, Grandpa Cheng, was also good at acupuncture, and she learned the method of treating blocked meridians in the legs from him. For a moment, she had an absurd idea, but she quickly overturned it.

Grandpa Cheng’s real name is not Cheng Han.

They are not the same person, how can traditional Chinese medicine stay in the countryside?

"As long as we find Cheng Han, the one who's on the boat..." Du Ya's cell phone vibrated before she could finish her words. She let go of Qiao Xi's hand and answered the phone.

"Hello."

I don’t know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but Qiao Xi saw her eyes change instantly and her face turned ashen.

"Tell that bastard to wait! I'll be back right away!"
