Chapter 579: Is it useful if you like me?

Xie Xubai said calmly, "Don't tell Pei Chun and I about this. She has no sense of propriety and is getting worse. As for me and Miss Huo, we have nothing to do with each other. Her brother Huo Xingzhou and I are partners. The last time I went to Haicheng was to discuss the Xiang family's affairs... For the sake of her brother, I will take better care of her."

"You're lying to me."

The old lady covered her chest and said in grief, "You gave her your hotel room. I also heard a rumor that when you went to Haicheng, you proposed to marry into the Huo family. And you said it was okay?"

Xie Xubai glanced at Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan touched his nose and whispered, "I didn't say anything."

"Don't underestimate Ning Yuan. He is loyal to you. I got this gossip myself. Tell grandma the truth. I won't hold you back."

"grandmother."

Xie Xubai said, "Don't worry about this. I have something else to do. I'll go to the study first."

He stood up and was about to leave the place of trouble.

The old lady shouted at his back, "You handle it? You handle it until you are seventy or eighty years old and still single? My head hurts so much, ouch!"

Ning Yuan lowered his voice and said hurriedly, "Ms. Huo's sister-in-law is the apprentice of Cheng Han, a national doctor. How about asking her to take a look at your migraine?"

The old lady of the Xie family's eyes flashed with light: "Yes!"

"Ningyuan, come to the study!"

"Hey, Mr. Xie, I'm coming right over."

Ning Yuan quickly caught up with him.

The old lady sat on the sofa with a leisurely smile on her face.

The brat wants to chase the girl but he's acting so arrogantly. Time waits for no one.

If she falls in love with someone else and gets together with him, all the happiness will be gone!

Xie Xubai's mother came out with a midnight snack and asked, "Mom, what are you laughing at? Where are Xubai and Ning Yuanren? I prepared some midnight snacks they like. Did Xubai make you angry?"

She placed the tray on the coffee table and sat down next to the old lady.

"snort."

The old lady snorted coldly, "He's good in every way, but I'm worried that he won't get married. I have to ask someone what the girl from the Huo family likes, and then I can strike with precision."

"Wanling, call Dr. Qiao tomorrow who won the first prize in the injection trial competition and ask her to treat my migraine."

This medicine is very effective in treating migraines, but the old lady is stubborn!

She just couldn't stand the Lu and Xiang families, and was unwilling to ask the Lu family's Chinese medicine to treat her, nor did she allow her family to seek help from the Chinese Medicine Association. The Lu family also repeatedly made things difficult for her and deliberately ignored the matter because of the quota of the four major families.

It has been delayed for a long time and it has finally come to this.

Xie Xubai's mother smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will do it tomorrow..."

The old lady was a little anxious, so she changed her tone: "If you go and fight now, they probably won't be resting at this hour. Try to feel out the situation and see if they will agree."

"Okay, I'll do it right away. So, does your head hurt tonight?"

The old lady said proudly, "Just a little." But she was just pretending.

Xie Xubai's mother Wanling pursed her lips and smiled, took out her cell phone, asked an acquaintance for the doctor Qiao's cell phone number, and called.

…

In the night.

A Rolls-Royce was driving through the bustling city center of the imperial capital.

After Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou left the banquet hall, they went out to a private kitchen with a good reputation for dinner. Even Lao Chen was very satisfied with the meal and was humming a song when he left.

She tasted the long-lost flavor of Haicheng and felt a little indulgent.

Qiao Xi rubbed her belly. Chinese medicine emphasizes health preservation, but she still sometimes indulges in food.

"Madam, the chef in this restaurant is pretty good, why don't you hire him home?" Since Old Chen got his annual salary of one million, he has become more confident in his words. He has no other hobbies but to drink and eat.

Qiao Xi smiled and was about to make a joke when her cell phone vibrated.

She glanced at Huo Xingzhou, who was sitting beside her, tapping on his laptop and attending an overseas video conference, and said softly, "I'll take a call."

Qiao Xi swiped the screen of her mobile phone and turned sideways to make a call.

"Well, I'm Qiao Xi."

"Yes, I have to study with the teacher in the morning recently. I only have time in the afternoon...Tomorrow afternoon?"

"If I have time, sure. I'll call you tomorrow for the exact time."

After chatting, Qiao Xi hung up the phone.

Huo Xingzhou closed his notebook, looked at her and asked, "Who is looking for you to treat their illness?"

Qiao Xi leaned back on the cushion holding her phone and said, "It was the old lady from the Xie family. She said she had a migraine from her youth. The Xie and Lu families are at odds, and she has never consulted a Chinese medicine doctor in the capital. She asked if I could come to her house to see the old lady."

Migraine is a tormenting thing. When it hurts, it's worse than death.

"You agreed?"

Qiao Xi's eyes curved as she took his hand and approached him and said, "For the sake of our President Huo, I have to agree. Besides, it's a good thing that the people in the capital are looking for me to treat their illnesses."

Huo Xingzhou's eyes flickered with a smile: "Perhaps the Xie family has other intentions."

Qiao Xi asked, "How do you say that?"

Old Chen, who was sitting in the front seat, laughed and said, "Young Madam, you may not know this yet. Just now, after we left the Xie family's celebration banquet, the eldest daughter said in front of the guests that Mr. Xie was pursuing her, and Mr. Xie did not clarify. Now that the news has spread, the Xie family is busy looking for a wife for Mr. Xie."

The efficiency is really fast.

"What? Isn't it Shen Xuanzhi that Jiaojiao likes? No, she is trying to piss off Pei Chun because of me?" Qiao Xi figured out the reason immediately. "I think she was particularly angry tonight and had drunk some wine when she came here. I feel relieved knowing that she has bodyguards around her all the time."

Qiao Xi looked at Huo Xingzhou with her almond-shaped eyes, "Is it Shen Xuanzhi..."

"Shen Xuanzhi left without saying goodbye and found a small hotel to stay. He has already submitted a membership application to the Chinese Medicine Association. According to his performance in the needle test conference, there will be no problem for him to enter the Chinese Medicine Association."

Shen Xuanzhi would not leave the imperial capital easily, because there was hatred burning in his heart.

Qiao Xi felt heavy in her heart after hearing this: "This is a bit hurtful, but it's understandable. But Jiaojiao must be sad, she is so proud..."

Huo Xingzhou put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Is it not good now? The Xie family is interested, so it all depends on fate."

Qiao Xi frowned slightly: "But I think Shen Xuanzhi really likes Jiaojiao."

"So what?"

Huo Xingzhou's gaze fell on her fair cheeks, as if he was in love with her.

Is it useful if you like it?

Not everyone has the courage to pursue love regardless of everything.

Wrong time, wrong place.

Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said, "Then I will go to Xie's house tomorrow to see the old lady."

"Um."

Huo Xingzhou rubbed her shoulders.

The scene she saw at Zhong's house during the day and Zhong Yi's little movements suddenly flashed through Qiao Xi's mind.

How come even the little movements are the same?

The suspicions that had arisen in Haicheng resurfaced.

She needs to continue to verify!

She turned her head and looked at Huo Xingzhou.
