Chapter 7 Qiao Xi, They All Have to Beg You
Actor?
Qiao Xi spoke with difficulty: "Are all you businessmen so insidious and cunning?"
Huo Xingzhou smoothed the folds on his trouser legs and said, "It is a small-scale attempt to win big, and soldiers never tire of deception."
Qiao Xi suddenly realized that it wouldn't cost much to hire some actors, and his project was worth the money.
"Thank you."
She said it sincerely.
After hearing the thank you, Huo Xingzhou felt much more relieved.
The car quickly drove to the hospital, and Qiao Xi ran around to arrange for her to be hospitalized. The old lady had been physically depleted when she was young, and her pulse was really dirty, and her vitality was gone. Her traditional Chinese medicine could not save her, so she could only save money desperately and rely on strong Western medicine drugs to prolong her life.
"Nannan, I won't be hospitalized." The old man held Qiao Xi's clothes with his thin hands, "Don't worry, I'll just go back to the countryside."
"No. Grandma, you have to listen to me. The doctor said your disease can be cured." Qiao Xi said firmly, "I'll go pay the bill, you lie down."
When she passed by Huo Xingzhou, she paused.
But in the end he said nothing and walked out of the ward.
"Master Huo, thank you for your help today." The old lady leaned on the soft pillow, her cloudy eyes full of kindness and humility.
"She married me after all."
Huo Xingzhou sat in a wheelchair with his slender hands folded and hanging on his knees.
"This child has a miserable life. Her father died early and her mother abandoned her for wealth. She is able to go to school with the help of kind people. She is very sensible."
As Grandma Qiao spoke, she wiped away her tears with her rough hands.
Huo Xingzhou thought that when she was kissing and touching him, she didn't look obedient at all.
"She has a straightforward personality and would rather bend than give in. She doesn't know how to please others. She is soft-hearted and doesn't like to be tough, but if someone does her a favor, she would like to repay them tenfold. Master Huo, could you please protect her a little?"
Huo Xingzhou listened to her and responded in a low voice.
The cold words in the investigation report on Qiao Xi became vivid under the old man's narration.
…
After spending most of the day with the old lady, Qiao Xicai and Huo Xingzhou left in the evening.
On the way back.
The light inside the low-key car is dim.
The man's voice broke the silence.
"Does what you said before still count?" A gleam of light spread from his dark eyes, "Heal my legs for me?"
"Of course!"
Qiao Xi wanted to swear to the heavens, "I promise, I will cure your legs."
This time, Huo Xingzhou believed it.
How could he not believe that Cheng Han, the national medical master, had trained her female disciple for many years?
"Who is your master?"
Huo Xingzhou had a guess in his heart, but he still wanted to hear it from her own mouth.
Qiao Xi blushed and explained, "I learned it from my neighbor, Grandpa Cheng. Although he is not as famous as Mr. Cheng Han, he taught me very hard and he cured everyone in the village."
really.
She didn't know how powerful her master was, and she didn't know that Cheng Han had changed his name and lived in the countryside.
"I believe you." Huo Xingzhou said calmly.
It's not bad.
He covered up the old man's whereabouts, and no one could connect the country old man with the traditional Chinese medicine doctor Cheng Han. This also meant that he did not disturb Mr. Cheng's life in his later years.
"The old lady's condition is complicated. I have found a nurse to take care of her long-term. You can go to the hospital to see her when you are free. The medical expenses will be deducted from your medical fees."
"Mr. Huo, I'm really grateful to you." Her clear eyes were full of joy. "Thank you for trusting my medical skills."
"Qiao Xi, they will all have to beg you from now on."
Those who are blind do not know what treasure they are missing.
He was too.
Qiao Xi didn't understand what he meant, she just felt that his voice was like the moonlight rising from the lake on a spring night, rippling the waves and gradually warming people's hearts.
Huo Xingzhou took out an agreement from the electric drawer on the center console and handed it to Qiao Xi.
She looked down and saw the four bold words "Marriage Agreement" on it. The agreement stated that they would divorce after his legs healed, and the maximum time limit was three months. At the same time, he would give her a house and a million-dollar check as a thank you.
"If you have no objection, just sign it. I don't want to owe anyone a favor, and this can be considered a confidentiality agreement." This was the agreement he drafted after reading the investigation report yesterday.
Qiao Xi raised her eyes to look at him, and signed in a delicate yet sharp handwriting.
"Mr. Huo, it's a pleasure to work with you."
She has beautiful almond-shaped eyes, and she looks very smart when she smiles.
Huo Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips into a faint smile.
My heart, which has never trembled before, feels like it is stroked by a soft feather.
"Qiao Xi, this is your choice."
He wrote this agreement just to give her the power to choose so that she would not be bound by marriage.
Then she can leave whether she wants to or not.
…
After the two returned home, Aunt Qian hurried over to greet them.
"Master Zhou Yu is here to visit you."
"Um."
Qiao Xi pushed his wheelchair in along the ramp, and as soon as she passed the entrance, she saw a handsome man sitting on the sofa. There were a few messy bangs on his smooth forehead, deep eye sockets, and dark blue pupils, as if he was mixed-race.
"Huo Er."
Zhou Yu stood up, looked at Qiao Xi and said, "This is my sister-in-law, right?"
He came here specifically to see what kind of supernatural woman was the one who asked Huo Xingzhou to mobilize his private forces and disguise himself as a group actor.
"This is Zhou Yu, an unimportant person. You don't need to be polite to him." Huo Xingzhou introduced him to her out of courtesy.
"Hey, what do you mean I'm an unimportant person! I've worked like a slave for you for so many years!" If it weren't for his cover-up, Huo Xingzhou's other identity would have been exposed long ago.
Qiao Xi curled up the corners of her mouth, her delicate eyebrows full of smiles.
Zhou Yu felt a little embarrassed.
"Huo Er, I have something serious to discuss with you."
Qiao Xi said considerately: "You guys chat, I'll go back to my room to prepare." Preparation for acupuncture treatment.
Huo Xingzhou nodded.
Zhou Yu watched her leave before he dared to ask, "What are you preparing for? Are you preparing for the wedding?"
"Get lost!"
He chuckled and said, "Is she really the disciple of the Chinese doctor? I can't believe it. God is very kind to you. Do you think she looks a bit like Xu..."
"If you have nothing to do, get out of here."
"No, I'm here to report to you on Tianyuan Group's quarterly results..."
…
Su family.
Su Weiwei was in a bad mood and threw her cosmetics all over the floor.
"Bitch! On what basis!" Su Weiwei was jealous in her heart, but she repeatedly comforted herself. Huo Xingzhou was already disabled, and Huo Beiting was the best choice.
Buzz buzz buzz.
The phone on the dressing table was vibrating desperately. Su Weiwei saw the name, took a deep breath, picked up the phone, and cried out in a squeezed voice: "Brother Beiting, Huo Xingzhou is too much! He brought..."
"Didn't get what I wanted?" Huo Beiting was not so patient. "If the Su family can't get what I want, I can't marry you."
Su Weiwei's face froze.
"Brother Beiting, I let Qiao Xi marry in your place because of you."
"Nothing else, just hang up."
"Wait!" Su Weiwei's eyes flashed with viciousness, "I have another idea! This time I will make the Huo family's second branch beg you on their knees and hand over the Project Transfer Letter with both hands."
Su Weiwei spoke hurriedly, and Huo Beiting on the other end of the phone was extremely satisfied.
"Su Weiwei, you are much more cruel than I thought!"
This move is called cutting the weeds at their roots.
