Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 160 - : His Private Life is Quite Rich
Chapter 160 -160: His Private Life is Quite Rich
Liu Huimin helped the frail Xu Xingluo to her feet and said in a mocking tone, “Doctor Qiao, if you resent me for forcing you to take in a patient, come at me! Xingluo has asthma and severe depression; she can’t handle the stress.”
Qiao Xi looked at her, suddenly feeling very uncomfortable.
Shu Xue couldn’t help but laugh sarcastically on the side, “She’s weak, so she must be right? Who was the one desperately making things difficult for our Qiao Xi over a man, even trying to slander our medical staff just a moment ago? If you’re so noble, take the patient away!”
She stood protectively near Qiao Xi, indignant, “This is the first time I’ve seen someone play both judge and executioner, demanding our Qiao Xi to cure her, and also trying to snatch her husband! Is she supposed to be the Virgin Mary, speaking so kindly to you?”
Liu Huimin’s cheeks flushed red with embarrassment, at a loss for words.
“I…”
“Enough, Huimin!” Liu Zongquan was extremely helpless; this younger sister of his lost all reason whenever it came to Xingluo!
She had been neurotically fragile after giving birth, spending a long time dreaming that someone would steal her daughter, hence she doted on her daughter like the apple of her eye from a young age.
Liu Zongquan decreed firmly, “From now on none of you should come to the hospital. If Zong Yun makes it through today’s ordeal, I’ll hire a high-priced caregiver to look after him. Apart from me and the old lady, no one else needs to come.”
“Big brother, how can that be!” Xu Guangyao was anxious; what if Liu Zongyun didn’t die today?
Then they wouldn’t have the chance to find an opportune moment, would they?
Xu Guangyao pleaded earnestly, “Big brother, we want to spend more time with second brother. If you’re really worried, the newest convalescent home under the Xu Family banner is about to be completed. How about sending the second brother there? Under our supervision, you could rest easier, right?”
The high-tech convalescent home built by the Xu Family indeed had substantial appeal, introducing nursing robots and eliminating the risk of infections.
Liu Zongquan’s stance softened, “We’ll talk about it once his condition stabilizes. Doctor Qiao, what exactly is my brother’s condition? What should we do next?”
Finally, there was someone sane in charge.
Qiao Xi looked at him and said, “He’s currently undergoing emergency treatment, and it’s uncertain whether he’ll pull through. Even if he leaves the emergency room, he will need to be observed in the intensive care unit for a week. If the fever doesn’t subside, it could lead to pneumonia, and at that point… he might not make it.”
Not make it?
Liu Zongquan wiped his face, his expression defeated.
It had been with great difficulty that he had awaited his awakening, only to carelessly catch the flu.
Amid the extremes of joy and sorrow, he was utterly exhausted.
He spoke hoarsely, “Thank you, Doctor Qiao.”
“You’re welcome; I’ll be leaving now if there’s nothing else. The intensive care unit is not my responsibility at the moment; I need to wait until his condition stabilizes before I can proceed with acupuncture.”
After giving her instructions, Qiao Xi turned and left. Shu Xue, carrying a tray, followed Qiao Xi out.
In the corridor.
Liu Zongquan seemed to have lost his pillar of strength, his eyes reddened, his body trembling. If Liu Zongyun hadn’t initially awakened, they wouldn’t have been so distressed.
They had finally seen a glimmer of hope, everyone counting on him to stand up again and live a normal life. But the sudden blow pushed everything back to square one.
Xu Xingluo, frightened, began to cry defensively, “Big uncle, hit me, scold me! It’s all Xingluo’s fault, I am to blame!”
She raised her hand and slapped herself.
“Big uncle, I’ll kneel right here! I’ll keep kneeling until second uncle comes out!” She clasped her hands together to pray, “All heavenly gods and buddhas, please bless my second uncle to pull through this ordeal, I am willing to sacrifice ten years of my life.”
“Xingluo!” Liu Huimin pulled her away, distressed, “Don’t say nonsense!”
Xu Xingluo wept bitterly, “Mom, as long as second uncle is safe. It’s not just ten years; even twenty or thirty years of life, I am willing! It’s all my fault today, I shouldn’t have…”
She sobbed uncontrollably.
Liu Huimin held her, her heart wrenching with pain.
Liu Zongquan remained silent, staring intensely at the emergency room’s red light.
Xu Guangyao’s eyes flashed, and he silently prayed that Liu Zongyun would hurry up and die, and not wake up to trouble him anymore!
Xu Yunye, still recovering from a fracture, had a delicate face devoid of any color. He stared at the endlessly crying Xu Xingluo and felt something was off!
The doubts from last night slowly surfaced in his mind.
When she first saw the pathogen test reagent was positive, her face showed shock that didn’t seem fake!
Did she really infect his uncle unintentionally?
He snorted with a laugh, feeling that he was overthinking it.
As a member of the Xu Family, she had no motive to harm his uncle.
…
Qiao Xi and Shu Xue walked to the nurse station.
Shu Xue handed her a sandwich, “Want to eat?”
Qiao Xi shook her head, smiling as she said, “Aunt Qian prepares breakfast for me every day, I’ve eaten at home. I left in a hurry this morning and didn’t bring any for you.”
Shu Xue opened the sandwich mournfully and said, “Aunt Qian’s cooking has spoiled me, nothing else tastes good anymore.”
“Then I’ll bring some for you.”
“You’re resigning soon, I won’t be able to eat it for long.” She bit vigorously into the sandwich and said with puffed cheeks, “It’s easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to return, eating at street stalls feels the same to me.”
Qiao Xi liked her character, not greedy and full of a sense of justice.
Her eyes smiled warmly as she said, “From tomorrow until the day I leave, I’ll bring it for you.”
Shu Xue blew her a kiss.
She chewed on the sandwich and observed Qiao Xi’s expression, casually lowering her eyes as she asked, “Has your husband been very busy recently? Was he home last night?”
“Yeah, he was home, why?”
Shu Xue shook her head, “Nothing, I was just curious what rich men do at night. That time at the bar when we ran into Mr. Zhou, does he stay home like your husband?”

Qiao Xi looked at her for a good while and said, “Are you interested in him? That’s not right, you’ve got something going on.”
Just a couple of days ago, when they went shopping for lingerie, Shu Xue bought some too.
That clearly indicated she had something going on, could she have taken a liking to Zhou Yu?
Shu Xue defensively said, “I was just asking out of curiosity, didn’t mean anything by it.”
Qiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said, “You scared me. Mr. Zhou is a good guy, and has a warm heart. But judging by how he usually hangs around with Mr. Huo, his private life seems quite colorful.”
“How colorful?” Shu Xue asked.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips, thinking of the phone call she had overheard, and then leaned in close to Shu Xue’s ear and said, “Last night, Young Master Sun and Mr. Zhou held a lingerie show at the Haicheng Club, inviting many people to watch.”
“Ah?”
Shu Xue couldn’t quite process this immediately, “You mean, they had the club’s female models walk the runway in lingerie? How is that any different from being naked?”
Qiao Xi nodded, “Young Master Sun said the lingerie from Haicheng’s store sold out yesterday, and he wanted some too. So he came up with this idea and invited Mr. Zhou over.”
Shu Xue ground her molars angrily, lamenting why Zhou Yu, that damn dog, didn’t show up last night!
So it turned out he had so many women to show off to him!
Qiao Xi, seeing her grinding her teeth, felt that something was amiss.
“Shu Xue, what’s wrong?”
