Chapter 79: Chapter 79 Qiao Xi, Mom Regrets It

    Huo Jiancheng’s voice came from outside the room, “Xingzhou, are you asleep? I want to talk to you.”

    Huo Xingzhou opened the door and saw him, saying, “Qiao Xi is asleep, let’s talk outside.”

    He gently closed the door behind him.

    Huo Jiancheng’s complexion didn’t look quite natural as he hesitantly asked, “How is Qiao Xi’s injury now?”

    “If you have something to say, please just say it.”

    His facial expression was indifferent, his voice low.

    ...

    “Xingzhou,” Huo Jiancheng also felt uneasy inside, “I was thinking of your grandfather...”

    “He isn’t my grandfather anymore,” Huo Xingzhou saw through it all, “I know you’ve been frequently visiting the hospital lately, your filial piety is your own business.”

    Huo Jiancheng rubbed his hands together, lacking in confidence, “Your grandfather is of old age and tormented by illness, it’s quite pitiful. He has already been discharged tonight, and your eldest uncle’s family only cares about the shares he holds.”

    Wiping his face, he said, “Xingzhou, after all... he is my biological father. The mistreatment of our second branch of the family back then was also due to my birth causing my mother’s death during childbirth. If you want to blame someone, blame me.”

    He was a kindhearted person, benevolently naive, and foolishly filial.

    “So now you’re preparing to ask Qiao Xi to treat him? Qiao Xi is a very soft-hearted person, don’t take advantage of her kindness.”

    The Huo Family’s main house could ask her, and she could directly refuse.

    But if Huo Jiancheng asked her, it would be very difficult for her.

    “You child...” Huo Jiancheng sighed and said, “Why are you so quick-tempered.”

    “I won’t stop you from fulfilling your filial duties, but don’t involve Qiao Xi.”

    “Xingzhou! Your grandfather already knows he was wrong, and he really wants to say sorry to you in person. I know you’re a child of compassion and loyalty. If you were truly heartless, you wouldn’t care about the kindness from the Xu Family ten years ago, and during the car accident...”

    “Dad!”

    Huo Xingzhou interrupted him and said, “It’s getting late, I’ll have Old Chen take you home.”

    Huo Jiancheng saw his resolute and handsome face, full of disappointment.

    Asking him was useless.

    He glanced at the tightly shut door from the corner of his eye. Xingzhou was right, Qiao Xi was a very soft-hearted person.

    He took a deep breath and said, “I’ll head back first.”

    That night.

    The internet stirred up one wave after another.

    Most people who had insulted Qiao Xi deleted their previous comments, leaving behind an apology. Many patients who had been seen by Qiao Xi came forward to speak on her behalf, praising her kindness.

    The vice-president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, Ma Hongwen, was suspended, and the association’s announcement was deleted.

    Wang Dafu’s crimes were exposed, and his whole family was scorned severely.

    She cried piteously.

    “Look at the injuries on my body, all caused by the Su Family’s abuse.”

    Zhao Yuzhen had a good-looking face which made her crying even more infectious.

    Cheng Han said coldly, “However bad your life is, it has nothing to do with Qiao Xi. Why then do you keep hurting her again and again?”

    Zhao Yuzhen covered her chest, crying as if her heart was breaking, “I already realize my mistakes, and I will definitely make it up to Qiao Xi from now on.”

    Qiao Xi listened to her words and slowly approached.

    She asked, “Are you making it up to me because you know about Grandpa Cheng’s status?”

    “No! Xixi, Mom really knows she was wrong!”

    Qiao Xi looked at her kneeling and felt uncomfortable inside.

    But forgiving her easily was something she couldn’t do.

    “The Su Family treats you badly? Didn’t you say that Su Weiwei was your daughter?” Qiao Xi asked coldly.

    “They either beat or scold me,” Zhao Yuzhen said through tears, “Su Heng has a woman outside.”

    Truly pitiful.

    But there is often something despicable about someone pitied.

    Qiao Xi’s heart hardened as she said, “You publicly disowned me as your daughter; we are no longer mother and daughter.”

    Her eyes reddened slightly, and she looked at her with quite some resentment.

    “Qiao Xi,” Cheng Han called out, “you and Xingzhou go out first; I’ll handle this matter.”

    Cheng Han made the decision for her.

    He knew Qiao Xi’s character well; whether it was to stand by idly or to accept and forgive, she couldn’t do either.

    “You come in,” he said to Zhao Yuzhen.

    Zhao Yuzhen followed him inside, ecstatic.

    She didn’t even take another look at Qiao Xi, which made Qiao Xi’s heart grow even colder.

    Huo Xingzhou wrapped his arm around her shoulder, his hot lips pressing against the side of her face, “Little Divine Doctor, I’ll take you to vent.”

    Qiao Xi turned her head slightly, and his kiss landed on the corner of her lips.

    “Mr. Huo...”

    “Don’t waste your energy on those unworthy.”

    Huo Xingzhou circled her wrist, opened the car door, and let her get in.

    “Mhmm,” Qiao Xi nodded, her eyes filled with warmth when she looked at him.

    Inside the small villa’s living room.

    Cheng Han looked at the disheveled Zhao Yuzhen and slowly said, “I can give you the Health Preserving Prescription, but you must agree to one condition.”
