Chapter 135: Chapter 135 I Resign, I Quit
Liu Huimin laughed gently, “He’s been admitted to the hospital, and you’re the attending physician. How could you afford to recklessly endanger a life? Aren’t you afraid of tarnishing the reputation of a National Doctor?”
Qiao Xi’s body was tense as she said, “You signed a disclair agreent.”
The smile on Liu Huimin’s face grew even more intense as she looked at Qiao Xi with pity, “My girl, I have a good eye for people. You are kind-hearted and would never make a joke out of soone’s life. I’ve heard that my second brother is showing signs of improvent, thank you for that.”
Actually, Liu Huimin had a high regard for Qiao Xi, if only she weren’t Huo Xingzhou’s wife.
Thinking of her daughter washing her face with tears all day, she had to get Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou to divorce, to set everything back on the right track.
Qiao Xi’s eyes reddened, her fingers trembling.
Kindness and morality had also beco a knife that stabbed into her body.
Liu Huimin knew when to stop, “Think it over and contact when you’re ready. You’ve never seen how the rich deal with trouble, stay in your own class.”
Qiao Xi took a deep breath and suddenly laughed.
She looked deeply at Liu Huimin, wanting to be willful just this once.
“I resign, I’m not doing this anymore!”
Liu Huimin’s expression changed instantly.
Qiao Xi laughed with red eyes, moisture brimming at their base as she said, “You forced to take on patients through hospital procedures, then I won’t stay at this hospital. You’d better find soone more capable!”
She staked her career and faced Liu Huimin with defiance.
“You…” Liu Huimin’s face turned pale.
“Madam Xu, I haven’t experienced your wealthy people’s tactics. But I’m not soone who repays evil with kindness, you’ve overestimated .”
She usually appeared gentle and easy to bully, but once soone touched her bottom line, she would fight back fiercely.
Blunt and reckless resistance sotis cost her enemies dearly.
Her vulnerability was also her armor, thorny at that.
“You shouldn’t have touched my grandmother.”
Qiao Xi turned and entered the ward, slamming the door shut with a bang.
Liu Huimin was left outside, flustered, her face alternating between red and pale.
Inside the ward.
“Grandma.”
Qiao Xi approached the old woman’s bed and, seeing the blood in the IV tube on her hand, said, “Why are you moving around!”
Grandma Qiao pursed her lips and shook her head, “I didn’t move, I didn’t move.”
Qiao Xi looked at her emaciated figure and said, “You’ve lost weight again, you don’t listen when I tell you to eat properly.”
Her eyes reddened, and she started crying, hugging the old woman, “You really don’t listen; I would have co back to see you when I had ti. Why on earth did you co to Haicheng.”
If she hadn’t co, she wouldn’t have gotten hurt.
Grandma Qiao’s voice was hoarse with emotion, “I wanted to bring you so fruits and vegetables from ho, but sadly they all got crushed by the truck.”
“I don’t lack that little bit of food. It’s such a hassle to bring them all the way here,” Qiao Xi cried even harder as she spoke.
Grandma Qiao gently patted her back, “I am getting old, I won’t be able to farm much longer.”
Her days were numbered.
She tentatively asked, “What about Xingzhou?”
“He’s at work, very busy these days.”
“Oh, are you two still getting along well?”
Qiao Xi nodded and said they were.
“Mr. Huo is particularly good to , protecting and pampering ,” Qiao Xi emphasized again, “Very good.”
Grandma Qiao nodded, and she silently sighed, resolving to find an opportunity to ask Mr. Huo about it later.
Qiao Xi sniffled, reminded of her bold declarations just monts ago, and said, “Grandma, I’m going to step out for a bit. I’ll be back soon, just rest easy.”
…
Qiao Xi walked to the hospital director’s office and hesitated before knocking on the door.
“Co in.”
Qiao Xi pushed the door open and walked in slowly.
When Xu Xiuyuan saw her, a slight smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, “Looking for ? Have so water, sit down and talk.”
He poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Qiao Xi.
“Thank you,” Qiao Xi said with a hoarse voice, sitting on the sofa, her apricot eyes slightly swollen.
Xu Xiuyuan chose his words carefully before asking, “What’s wrong?”
Qiao Xi looked up, her eyes red with blood vessels visible, and said, “Director Xu, I want to resign.”
“Why? Our hospital has been channeling resources towards you, planning to cultivate you into a renowned doctor. Don’t you want to beco soone like Cheng Han?”
Qiao Xi looked up and said, “Actually, I don’t quite understand. It was the Liu Family and the Xu Family who begged to save soone, so how can they still threaten with such arrogance to get a divorce?”
She had a lot of grievances and resentnt in her heart.
Xu Xiuyuan suddenly understood, feeling a surge of guilt at the bottom of his heart.
He pushed his gold-rimd glasses and said, “Did my mother cause you trouble? I’m very sorry, I will restrain her. Xingluo attempted suicide; she’s emotionally unstable.”
“Suicide? The kind of shallow scar that allows posting on social dia lively the very next day?”
Qiao Xi’s mind flashed with the image of her grandmother’s bloody, mangled knees, her tone indignant.
“What social dia?” Xu Xiuyuan asked.
Qiao Xi took out her phone, opened it, and threw the phone in front of Xu Xiuyuan.
Upon seeing it, Xu Xiuyuan’s pupils shrank, clearly understanding that Xu Xingluo had blocked them, and this was a provocation towards Qiao Xi.
“It’s all my fault that day,” Xu Xiuyuan explained, “Initially, Huo Xingzhou did not want to co, but I called him. Nothing happened between them; I stayed in the ward the whole ti.”
Xu Xiuyuan hesitated, as Huo Xingzhou had forbidden him to speak of a certain matter, and he could only swallow his words.
He could never have imagined Xu Xingluo would resort to such vile tactics, maybe she had gone crazy. To dare to install surveillance in the Huo Family ho and threaten Huo Xingzhou with a private video.
“Nothing happened? Feeding food? Feeding fruit?” She had heard it with her own ears.
Hearing her words full of jealousy, Xu Xiuyuan knew she had witnessed the scene. He said with a smile, “Huo Xingzhou said, if you don’t have hands to eat with, then don’t eat. My wife is a little jealous pot. So the food and fruit were thrown into the trash.”
Qiao Xi’s cheeks turned red, utterly embarrassed.
“I am Xu Xingluo’s brother, but I won’t blindly take her side. You and Huo Xingzhou are husband and wife, and her behavior is unethical. Qiao Xi, not everyone is blind and heartless.”
Xu Xiuyuan was a man seemingly cold on the outside but warm on the inside, always gentle and polite.
Qiao Xi moistened her dry lips and said, “Director Xu, you speak very kindly. But I still want to resign, and it’s not out of impulse or revenge.”
She didn’t want to be threatened anymore, didn’t want to follow the routine.
Traditional Chinese dicine shouldn’t be confined to hospitals and should be appropriately passed on. Since she already had her dical practice license and was a mber of the Haicheng Traditional Chinese dicine Association, it was ti for her to fulfill her own desires.
Xu Xiuyuan could not hide his disappointnt, “Think it over for a few more days. If you are still as determined next ti, I will approve it.”
“Okay.”
Qiao Xi replied softly.
Perhaps she should also be thankful to Liu Huimin for giving her the courage to make this decision.
She walked out of the director’s office and saw Shu Xue in the corridor.
Shu Xue raised the car keys in her hand and said, “I’m off work. You seem down, let take you to a nice place.”
“My grandmother…” Qiao Xi wanted to refuse.
Shu Xue wrapped an arm around her waist and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve arranged a caregiver for you. Two hundred and twenty a day, absolutely reliable. Your grandmother agreed to let take you out to have fun, her injury isn’t serious.”
“Where are we going?” Qiao Xi asked reluctantly.
Shu Xue smiled mysteriously and played coy, “You’ll know when we get there.”
