Chapter 675: Chapter 675: He Wants to Have a Child with
Qiao Xi looked at him curiously, “What’s interesting?”
Huo Xingzhou bent down and whispered in her ear, “Xiang Mingzhu is pretending to be crazy and dumb. Her attending doctor is a classmate of mine from an exchange program abroad. We’re on good terms, and he voluntarily disclosed this information.”
Originally, disclosing patient information was wrong, but Xiang Mingzhu had no psychological disorder.
She was just acting.
“Why is she pretending?” Qiao Xi asked curiously, furrowing her brows.
“Maybe she has so plan; we’ll know when the ti is right.”
Huo Xingzhou had his suspicions, but without verification, he didn’t reveal them to Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi’s almond-shaped eyes watched him, reminding him in a low voice, “That paternity test needs to be done by a professional agency. I’ll contact Mr. Huang for that. Not many people will attend today’s morial service.”
“Alright, I’ll arrange it. However, later on, I’ll need you to act along in a scene; there are quite a few dia people outside.”
Qiao Xi stared at him blankly and nodded.
With the death of National Doctor Cheng Han, naturally, many dia outlets would rush to report on his life experiences, making her, his only apprentice, quite noticeable.
…
In the corridor outside the funeral ho.
Huo Sijiao stopped and looked back at Guan Jingtan following her, “Miss Guan, there’s no one else here. Just say what you want to say directly, no need to beat around the bush.”
She had a premonition.
Guan Jingtan asking to speak with her alone was surely about Shen Xuanzhi.
Huo Sijiao’s beautiful eyes looked at Guan Jingtan, this woman truly deserved to be one of the fad beauties of the Imperial Capital.
So beautiful it was indescribable, just standing there beca a beautiful scenery, capturing all attention.
Huo Sijiao admitted that in terms of looks and temperant, she was overshadowed by Guan Jingtan.
Guan Jingtan looked at Huo Sijiao gently with her beautiful eyes, “Miss Huo, I ca to you without malice. I just want to tell you a few things, hoping you’ll listen to what I say.”
“Go on.”
Huo Sijiao looked at her, sowhat nervous, with indescribable feelings in her heart.
Guan Jingtan’s tone was elegant, carrying a faint fragrance.
She spoke slowly, “Miss Huo, are you fully aware of Shen Xuanzhi’s past? His father died early, and our two families jokingly promised an engagent in childhood. But we never took it seriously; it was my grandfather who brought it up to him, and he agreed.”
Guan Jingtan was clear-headed, “I know he married to rise quickly and take revenge. Letting him enter the Traditional Chinese dicine Association and beco a director was our Guan Family’s sincerity.”
Huo Sijiao took a deep breath, “I understand. I won’t cling to Shen Xuanzhi. Although I liked him a lot in the past and did many foolish things, I, Huo Sijiao, disdain being soone’s mistress. Who does Shen Xuanzhi think he is? The Jade Emperor?”
Even if he were the Jade Emperor, she wouldn’t rush to him.
Guan Jingtan, seeing the anger on her face, soothingly said, “That’s not what I an. I an, Shen Xuanzhi likes you a lot. He’s been enveloped in hatred for so long, with such gloom around him. Sotis a glimpse of him can be startling, but when he sees you, there’s light in his eyes, and you can tell he’s trying hard to suppress his joy.”
Guan Jingtan was an insightful person.
As an observer, she could see everything clearly.
Shen Xuanzhi liked Huo Sijiao very much.
“Miss Guan, you’re joking, right? Shen Xuanzhi is your husband now…”
Was she trying to give her hope again with such words?
“Yes.” Guan Jingtan had a faint smile, “Yesterday, after drinking, he lost his composure a bit. So emotions, once released, can never be caged again. So, Shen Xuanzhi might still pester you.”
She said this with no anger at all.
Huo Sijiao bit her lip and slowly said, “A good horse doesn’t turn back to graze. Who does he think he is!”
The more she heard such words, the more stifled and angry she felt inside!
If he was so principled, why didn’t he say it before?
He had countless opportunities to be with her; he knew that as long as he turned back, she was there waiting.
Now what does he want?
“Shen Xuanzhi is quite pitiful. I hope you, Miss Huo, don’t hurt his self-esteem too much. But I also hope you never look back, as in that regard, he’s truly not worthy of you.” Guan Jingtan said calmly, “Actually, before we got married, my grandfather also set a condition, which he agreed to.”
Guan Jingtan never sought love, so she didn’t care who Shen Xuanzhi was.
As long as their goals aligned, and he didn’t hold her back, that was enough.
“What condition?” Huo Sijiao’s chest rose and fell unsteadily.
“That he would have a child with . The Guan Family needs an heir. Whether to divorce after that or continue to make do is his choice.”
Mr. Guan was still in good health and could live several more years to properly nurture his next successor. A well-raised elite from youth would surely be better than soone like Guan Jingtan who picked it up halfway.
Huo Sijiao opened her mouth, finally cursing out after a while.
“Do I look like soone who enjoys being a stepmother? Miss Guan, rest assured, if I ever get involved with Shen Xuanzhi again in this life, let be hit by a car or struck by falling objects!”
Huo Sijiao felt that staying any longer would be a disrespect to herself.
She turned, footsteps notably quick.
Even her back looked angry.
Guan Jingtan chuckled, her eyes full of envy.
She also wished she had a capable brother and a sister-in-law like a sister. With family support everywhere, she would only have to do what she loved.
Marrying soone because she liked them, not out of family obligations.
She envied Huo Sijiao.
Envied her to the point of jealousy.
In fact, she could let Shen Xuanzhi and Huo Sijiao continue to entangle, even create many opportunities for them to rekindle their old feelings.
But Guan Jingtan wouldn’t do that.
She had already destroyed her marital happiness; she didn’t want to drag Huo Sijiao down too.
There should always be so people who live freely and brightly in this world.
…
Huo Sijiao angrily walked through the corridor towards the funeral ho.
Before she even got there, she saw a crowd bustling at the entrance of the funeral ho.
A great mass of people.
She waved down a staff mber to inquire about the situation.
The staff mber said the morial service had ended, and the Huo Family was preparing to leave. Now, the dia had co flocking, wanting to interview Qiao Xi, the apprentice of the National Doctor.
Huo Sijiao stood on tiptoe to look inside and imdiately quickened her pace to walk over.
With her brother’s bodyguards around, there was no worry about her sister-in-law being crowded.
The dia’s caras and microphones were all pointed at Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou in the center, dozens of dia wanting a response; even a fragnt of a statent could be turned into news.
“Miss Qiao, can you confirm if Master Cheng Han’s cause of death is truly…”
“Miss Qiao, it’s said by the directors of the Traditional Chinese dicine Association that you spoke harshly to President Lu because of your grief, is this true…”
These buzzing sounds were constant.
Suddenly, there was a scream in the crowd!
Exceptionally piercing!
