Chapter 704: Chapter 704: The Sky is Falling! Huo Xingzhou Fell into a Vat of Vinegar!
Qiao Xi’s hand paused, and she flatly denied.
“No, not at all.”
Huo Sijiao pouted, full of disbelief.
Sun Weing clearly told her that the two had a serious fight and were in a cold war.
“Sister-in-law, stop pretending. I noticed it long ago. Last night, my brother slept in the study. He left early this morning without ntioning you. Usually, he would ask Xiaoyun to prepare breakfast for you or tell us not to disturb you. But this morning, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot…
Did you two have a fight?”
“No fight, just been a bit busy lately.” Qiao Xi didn’t tell Huo Sijiao about Zhong Yi’s identity.
She didn’t know where to start, so she could only brush it off.
“Well, then you’re just so busy that you’ve neglected him! n are easy to cheer up. Let’s go shopping this afternoon to buy so things. Make my brother happy, okay?”
Qiao Xi was tempted, “But I have to go to the hospital at noon.”
“What are you going to the hospital for?”
“To visit a friend.”
“No big deal, I’ll drive you there. I’ll also have Old Chen follow us, and after your visit, we’ll go together. If it’s inconvenient, I’ll wait for you in the car.”
Huo Sijiao didn’t want her brother and sister-in-law to have conflicts in the Imperial Capital.
Besides, she always felt like the two were keeping secrets from her.
“Okay then. It’s not inconvenient, you can co with .”
Qiao Xi wanted to find a chance to have a good talk with Huo Xingzhou and make peace.
She was uncomfortable with this cold relationship. Huo Sijiao always had many clever ideas; maybe buying so gifts for Huo Xingzhou would cheer him up.
“Then it’s settled! I’ll go upstairs and put on so makeup first!”
Huo Sijiao exited the kitchen and took out her phone to call Sun Weing when she reached the staircase.
“Sun Weing, the task you gave is done. Now you can tell , why are my brother and sister-in-law in a cold war?”
She avoided people and asked in a low voice.
On the other end, Sun Weing was at a fan event, entranced by the shining Xia Sisi on stage.
He absentmindedly said over the phone, “Jealous, I guess. Your sister-in-law got too close to a patient, and he’s not pleased.”
“Ah? My brother is that petty? Is that patient handso?”
“Handso!”
“Rich?”
“Rich.”
Huo Sijiao didn’t believe it, “Could he possibly compare to my brother?”
“Well, he could genuinely match up!”
Zhong Yi was impressive in all aspects, not inferior to Huo Xingzhou at all.
“Then my brother does have a reason to feel threatened. Could that be the friend my sister-in-law is visiting at the hospital?” Huo Sijiao pondered.
“Wait a minute!”
Sun Weing caught the key point, “Qiao Xi is going to visit a patient at the hospital today?”
“Yes. My sister-in-law just told . She was making a dicinal dish just now in the kitchen. I thought it was for my brother, but it seems like it might be for the patient.”
Oh no!
Sun Weing lost interest in watching the performance.
The sky is falling!
Huo Xingzhou is about to drown in jealousy!
Qiao Xi’s dicinal dish is definitely for Young Master Zhong.
Huo Sijiao asked, “Sun Weing, is there a problem?”
Sun Weing wiped his face, “No.”
He just didn’t know how to face the storm when he got ho.
Huo Sijiao seed optimistic, “I’m taking my sister-in-law shopping this afternoon to ensure we buy so good stuff to please my brother. Making my sister-in-law try to be nice, there’s no way my brother can keep this cold war going. He’s all bark and no bite.”
“Huo Sijiao, you’d better make it happen!”
“I think I can. But I’m not very familiar with the Imperial Capital, so send a few store nas later.”
Huo Sijiao relayed her needs to Sun Weing.
Upon hearing this, Sun Weing was taken aback!
Going back to old habits.
Perhaps Huo Xingzhou will be swayed by this.
“Huo Sijiao, give it your best shot. Whether we have good days ahead depends entirely on you!”
Sun Weing offered so encouraging words and hung up the phone.
…
Eleven o’clock.
Qiao Xi divided a pot of Scutellaria Chicken Soup into two thermoses.
The surface oil of the chicken soup was all skimd off, leaving it clear and bright. It looked not greasy at all, with a few wolfberries as embellishnts.
Though it was dicinal, it was enticingly appetizing.
“It slls so good!”
Huo Sijiao, with her exquisite makeup, stood by and sniffed.
Qiao Xi offered her a small bowl and said, “This is for you, drink a little; it’s good for your health.”
“Thank you, sister-in-law.”
Huo Sijiao accepted without hesitation. After drinking the chicken soup, she joined Qiao Xi at the dining table to fill their stomachs, and only then did they leave.
Old Chen was already seated in the passenger seat, the cold wind howling outside.
Qiao Xi wore a light-colored down jacket, while Huo Sijiao, in knee-high boots, draped a cashre coat, clearly opting for beauty over warmth.
Huo Sijiao sat in the driver’s seat this ti; she would be driving.
Old Chen just had to ensure security.
“Sister-in-law, where are we going?”
Qiao Xi gave the na of the private hospital, and Old Chen set up the navigation for Huo Sijiao.
Huo Sijiao stepped on the gas, and the car drove off.
Forty minutes later.
The car stopped at the entrance of Imperial Capital’s private hospital.
By day, the architecture here was sowhat European in style, luxurious and imposing.
The costs were also very high!
Qiao Xi carried the thermos of Astragalus Chicken Soup inside, with Old Chen and a curious Huo Sijiao following her.
They slowly entered the inpatient departnt from the hospital entrance.
Old Chen, familiar with the place, pressed the elevator button.
The group entered the elevator directly and rode it up to the high floor of the inpatient departnt.
As soon as the elevator opened, Huo Sijiao gasped.
This…every two or three ters stood a tall bodyguard!
Huo Sijiao could tell that so of these people were from the Huo Family, while others looked unfamiliar.
Who exactly was this friend her sister-in-law ntioned?
Connecting it with last night’s news, she had an unrealistic suspicion.
But wasn’t that person a business partner of her brother? How could he beco her sister-in-law’s friend?
“Sister-in-law, don’t tell the person on this floor is… Young Master Zhong?” Last night, she got firsthand information from Xie Xubai that Zhong Yi was still alive!
Qiao Xi did not deny it.
“It’s him.”
“Tsk.”
Huo Sijiao gulped.
No wonder Sun Weing said that, a sick patient handso and rich comparable to her brother.
Even she, at tis, would be stunned by Zhong Yi’s stunningly delicate face.
“Sister-in-law, are you and Young Master Zhong good friends? Did you et him while studying at the Zhong Family?” She had to help her brother gather so inside information.
That Young Master Zhong… wouldn’t fancy her sister-in-law, would he?
But what about his relationship with Lu Yingxue? As Lu Yingxue’s fiancé, Young Master Zhong should be an adversary of their Huo Family!
The elite circle is a ss, and she’s running out of brainpower!
You truly can’t escape what you talk about.
Just as she was thinking about Lu Yingxue, the elevator door suddenly opened.
A black-clad Lu Yingxue walked out, also carrying a thermos, yet was stopped by two bodyguards.
“Miss, please do not trespass.”
