Chapter 879 Reconciliation

Xie Xubai looked at the antipyretic medicine in his hand and said in a much gentler tone: "Take the antipyretic medicine first."

If you continue to burn, you might turn into a fool.

Huo Sijiao turned away and said in a hoarse voice: "I don't want to eat it."

Sick people have the right to be willful. She had been feeling uncomfortable since the middle of the night. She just endured it alone and fell asleep in a daze. Now she was exhausted, as if all her energy had been drained away. It was really unbearable.

Now seeing Xie Xubai, I actually feel a little angry.

"Be obedient. You will get better only after taking the medicine." Xie Xubai coaxed her patiently, "Don't be angry. Take the medicine first."

Huo Sijiao turned her head away and refused to take the fever-reducing medicine.

Xie Xubai felt a little headache, "Don't gamble with your own body."

"I'll eat later." Huo Sijiao didn't want to give in, but she was afraid that she would become a fool if she was burned.

"I'll call my sister-in-law and ask if she can come over."

"Thank you!"

Huo Sijiao snatched the pill from his hand and swallowed it in one gulp. "Don't disturb my brother and sister-in-law. They are busy. It's just a fever. It's not a big deal."

She didn't want her sister-in-law to worry about her.

Xie Xubai threatened her in this way because he knew her weak spot.

snort!

"The kitchen cooked some millet porridge. I asked someone to bring it up. You ate such a greasy meal last night. The doctor said you should eat lighter food in the next few days."

Huo Sijiao was a little confused when she heard Xie Xubai talk about last night.

Then I remembered that she and the old lady had a big meal and a lot of drinks, and they were showing off their barbecue and beer. The two of them almost became sworn brothers after getting drunk.

She pursed her lips and said, "I just ate a little bit."

"Did you get acute gastroenteritis after eating a little?"

"Who? Did grandma have acute gastroenteritis?" Huo Sijiao felt that she deserved to die. She actually drank beer and ate barbecue with such an old lady, and even made her sick.

I felt a little guilty for a moment.

She looked at Xie Xubai and asked, "How is grandma?"

"She's taking medicine and resting. Her health is good. But she's getting old, and her family has been preventing her from eating foods high in oil and salt. She has three highs, so her family usually hires a nutritionist to control her diet."

Huo Sijiao felt more and more guilty, "Actually, grandma has been secretly ordering takeout."

She directly disclosed the takeouts that the old lady often ordered, including the store names and addresses, as well as the special dishes that the old lady had boasted to her about last night.

"That's all. The barbecue we had last night is what the old lady has been eating for decades."

She lowered her head and looked kind of cute.

Xie Xubai smiled, "You betrayed her."

"You can give her some occasionally, otherwise her life will be hopeless."

"Um."

Xie Xubai poured her a glass of warm water and put it to her lips.

Huo Sijiao took two sips.

She didn't feel as uncomfortable as she had just woken up. She leaned into Xie Xubai's arms and rubbed against him. "What did you mean by kicking me out of the room last night?"

It feels a bit like acting coquettishly, but also like settling a score afterwards.

Xie Xubai said calmly, "I went to take a shower after you left last night."

Huo Sijiao understood immediately and said arrogantly: "You deserve it!"

But these words were enough to please her.

Xie Xubai was also very calm, "I really deserve it."

Huo Sijiao's voice was soft and tentative: "If we don't get divorced, but I want you to live with me in Haicheng, is that okay?"

"Do I get bribes?"

"No. We will live in both places, half a year in Haicheng and half a year in the capital. I don't want to leave my hometown, and I can't be selfish and let you sacrifice too much for me. So each of us should take a step back. Do you think it's okay?"

In fact, after what the old lady said last night, she no longer wanted to get divorced.

Xie Xubai lowered his head and asked, "The reason you want to divorce me is because you don't want to stay in the capital forever?"

"Yeah. I'm a little scared. After my sister-in-law and brother leave the capital, I'll be staying in a place where I'm unfamiliar with. I might never learn to grow up in my lifetime, even if my beauty salon is opened here."

Huo Sijiao doesn't have any lofty ideals, she just wants to be a young lady protected by her family.

Do something you like, you don't have to be particularly successful.

"You want to divorce me, just for this?"

Huo Sijiao puffed up her cheeks and said, "Yeah."

"I can promise you to go to Haicheng."

"Really?" I thought Xie Xubai cared a lot about the capital's career and would never agree to such a condition. There are not many men like her brother in the world.

But I didn't expect Xie Xubai to agree directly.

"real."

"Then let's make a deal, you can't lie to me."

Xie Xubai said helplessly: "You are the only one who would lie to me. Can we cancel the agreement?"

"Can."

Huo Sijiao stretched out her finger and hooked his hand: "Let's just forget about it and never mention it again. Then can't you kick me out at night?"

"Um."

Xie Xubai rubbed her head.

He knew she didn't like him that much, but he wasn't indifferent.

Let's slowly develop feelings for each other in the future. Little Chili also has her soft sides.

…

Compared to the warmth of the Xie family, the Pei family is different.

Last night's engagement party has become a laughing stock throughout the capital.

Zhao Yaru was injured and hospitalized, looking numb.

Since she entered the hospital last night, no one from the Pei family has come to see her. Her mother-in-law did call her in the middle of the night and scolded her for being a jinx.

These sisters are all vixens!

Zhao Yaru's hand hurts.

The doctor said the wound was very deep and would most likely leave a scar. She would never be able to wear a dress that exposed her arm again. When she thought of the ugly scar, she felt even more pain in her heart.

Pei Zheng didn't come to see her or call her.

Pei Qian is more like a cowardly kid who is afraid of getting involved in his brother's family disputes.

Zhao Yaru leaned on the bed, the anesthesia had worn off. Her hands were aching, and even though it was the coldest time of the year, she was sweating on her forehead. Her lips were dry and chapped, and no one was around to take care of her.

The nurse felt sorry for her and said she would find a caregiver for her and charge her by the day.

But the hospital was busy and had no staff available at the moment, and they said the earliest they could arrive would be in the afternoon.

She even had difficulty going to the bathroom. The Pei family didn't care about her after sending her here. They didn't arrange a high-end ward for her. It was just an ordinary single ward, which looked small and had poor sound insulation.

She didn't sleep last night, listening to the patient next door screaming in pain all night.

The Pei family is so cruel.

Zhao Yaru turned over and wanted to drink some water, but her right hand was inconvenient. She could only reach with her left hand, and the cup seemed to be against her and fell directly to the ground.

The glass of water also spilled all over the floor.

The whole world is against her!

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the open door, and a fragrant breeze blew in, filling the room with a strong scent of perfume.
