Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Qiao Xi, Take Off Your Clothes
“You… you…”
After hearing that, Qiao Xi’s face flushed with anger, and her heart felt as if it were being sliced by a knife! Just as furious!
Huo Xingzhou clenched her hand tightly and raised his eyes to Huo Beiting, “I’m waiting with bated breath! I look forward to your double celebration.”
He appeared disheveled but remained cold and aloof.
Huo Beiting mocked, “Still putting on an act? Let’s see what little waves you can stir up!”
Today really should be a day of celebration!
...
Qiao Xi bit her lip hard and began to push Huo Xingzhou out.
Huo Beiting extended a foot intentionally blocking his wheelchair.
The wheelchair flipped over instantly.
Huo Xingzhou fell to the ground, his insides felt like they were churning together, as if he was about to vomit blood.
“Mr. Huo!”
Qiao Xi hurriedly helped him up.
Looking down from above, Huo Beiting laughed wickedly, “Hahaha, what can a cripple like you do to fight ! You can’t even stand steadily, and you still hope that Zhuo Feng can cure your legs?”
“Let tell you.” Huo Beiting squatted down, speaking venomously, “Zhuo Feng is my man, he’s not any apprentice of Cheng Han. You… you won’t live much longer, you short-lived ghost!”
“You’re spouting nonsense! You’re the short-lived ghost!”
Qiao Xi was livid, her anger towering, “He will live a long ti! Longer than you will!”
She will cure him, and ensure his safety for a lifeti.
“What’s this country bumpkin doing acting tough with ! You’re just ants. From now on, you can only look up to !” After venting, Huo Beiting left proudly.
The three Huo family mbers walked together, loudly discussing what to eat for today’s celebration.
They felt that from today on, the trouble that was Huo Xingzhou had been completely eliminated!
Qiao Xi cautiously helped Huo Xingzhou up and sat him back on the wheelchair.
She pushed the wheelchair out in silence, her eyes reddening as tears kept rolling down from her eyes one after another.
“Did the Little Divine Doctor get hurt?” His voice was weak, yet there was a cheerful tone in it.
Qiao Xi shook her head behind him, realizing that he couldn’t see her, she said, “It doesn’t hurt, not in the slightest. He’s just a sick old man, he doesn’t have much strength.”
“This is the first ti I’ve heard you swear, I initially thought you were sweet and clever, why would you start cursing people?” Huo Xingzhou even had the mood to joke at this ti.
“He deserves it! I just can’t think of any more curse words to use.”
She really was dumb!
“Then next ti, we’ll learn how to swear together,” he consoled again.
“Mm.”
Qiao Xi’s voice choked, and she finally couldn’t hold back her sobs and cried aloud.
Old Chen, the driver, was shocked to see them return in such a sorry state.
He hurriedly drove them back to the small villa.
“Aunt Qian, co quick to help!” Old Chen shouted, “The young master and the young madam are injured!”
Aunt Qian ran out and gasped at the sight, “Oh Lord! What happened! I… I should find a doctor. No, let grab so ice for cold compresses.”
She panicked, her hands fluttering in confusion.
Qiao Xi’s emotions cald down, and she said, “Aunt Qian, I am the doctor. I will take care of the wounds, please go to the kitchen and prepare sothing to eat.”
“Alright!”
Aunt Qian complied.
While they were speaking, the sound of a car and chaotic footsteps ca from outside.
Du Juan burst in, flustered, followed closely by Huo Jiancheng.
“What happened! News from the old residence spread saying you were beaten up by the old man, and I’ve been restless all the way here.” She looked Huo Xingzhou up and down, “You’re bleeding! There are even wounds on your neck, he truly carried out the family punishnt!”
His white shirt was spotted with blotches of blood, looking frightening.
With eyes reddened, tears fell from Du Juan’s face.
“Even a tiger does not eat its young,” Huo Jiancheng sighed, “It’s been so many years since the family punishnt was last used. What exactly has happened?”
Huo Xingzhou took out the Letter of Severance and placed it before them, “Sorry, I made the decision to cut ties with the Huo Family on my own.”
“Severance of relationship!”
“To sever ties with the Huo Family! Xingzhou, you…” Du Juan stared at him in shock.
“The car accident was orchestrated by the main branch, and Zhuo Feng was also brought in by them to harm . Huo Senior was aware of all this. His willingness to agree to a severance of relations was out of fear that I would reveal the truth and tarnish the main branch’s reputation.”
Huo Xingzhou’s voice was ice-cold as he spoke, “Zhuo Feng is not a disciple of Cheng Han at all.”
Du Juan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Huo Jiancheng stood with his mouth agape, dazed and wandering aimlessly, like a walking corpse.
“I’m going to fight Huo Jianjun to the death! I will kill them!” Du Juan seed crazed, but Qiao Xi stopped her.
The distinguished and elegant lady held Qiao Xi, crying so hard she was gasping for breath.
“So Zhuo Feng is a fraud!” Her eyes were red and swollen, “Can’t they be punished?”
Huo Xingzhou shook his head, “Huo Senior has covered his tracks, there’s no way to bring them to justice.”
Du Juan looked defeated, “Xingzhou, what about your legs?”
Huo Xingzhou gripped her hand, looked her in the eyes, and said, “Mom, there’s still a way. You won’t lose , you’ll even get to see a better version of .”
Du Juan stared blankly at him.
“They’ve mired in the mud. When I am crowned with glory again, I don’t want them to share even a speck of it,” Huo Xingzhou said.
Du Juan seed to understand but was still not quite sure.
“Really?” Her voice was faint.
“Really.”
“Then I believe you.”
She was willing to believe in her son unconditionally.
Du Juan wiped away her tears, breaking into a smile, “If we’re severing relations, then so be it. After all, our branch never benefited from them. What we have now is all earned by you.”
She was a reasonable person.
But Huo Jiancheng was more shocked by the revelation.
“Qiao Xi, you’re a doctor. From now on, please take extra care of Xingzhou.”
Qiao Xi assured, “I’ll take very good care of him.”
Du Juan reached out and ruffled her hair, “I knew you were a good kid. The Huo main branch has bullied my son so much; I may not be able to deal with them, but I can still give them a headache.”
She grabbed Huo Jiancheng’s hand, “Let’s go!”
“Go where?”
“To give them a headache!”
Du Juan declared this, always decisive and straightforward.
After they left, Qiao Xi was a bit worried, “Mother-in-law won’t get into trouble, right?”
“She won’t let herself be at a disadvantage.”
Huo Xingzhou said indifferently, “Let’s go back to the room first.”
“Okay.”
They returned to the room, and Qiao Xi removed Huo Xingzhou’s shirt. His body didn’t have a single patch of unbruised skin, all covered with blood bruises and swelling.
“Just surface wounds,” he said.
Qiao Xi took out an ointnt for promoting blood circulation and dispelling blood stasis and gently applied it in circular motions on his body. She said softly, “It’s a good thing it didn’t injure your legs, or I’d have another headache.”
“It looks severe, but it’s not too bad,” his gaze swept to the red marks on her arm and he said, “Go lock the room door.”
“Okay.”
Qiao Xi obediently closed the room door and locked it.
“Qiao Xi, take off your clothes,” he said as she turned around, his deep voice resonating.
Qiao Xi froze in place, staring at him in a daze.
“You have a wound on your back, let apply so dicine,” he explained.
“No, I’ll wait… I can apply it myself later,” she blurted out.
Huo Xingzhou’s eyes shimred gently, his voice even softer, “You can’t reach it. Let look at your wound.”
“But…” she hesitated, embarrassed.
“If this is a battle we have both fought, then I want to see your dals,” he said earnestly, his eyes void of any lust.
