Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him

Chapter 97: Chapter 97 She lifted her skirt to reveal her fair legs
 

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but laugh.

“Why would I need you to accompany me to work?”

Huo Sijiao looped her arm through hers and said, “I insist! The main thing is, it’s your first day of consultations. I’m here to help maintain order at the scene, with many people coming for the ‘apprentice of the National Doctor’ reputation.”

“It’s not that exaggerated.”

Qiao Xi said sweetly, “I can only needle with my left hand, but not with my right. The number of patients I see each day is limited.”

“Just let me accompany you.”

After a bout of coquetry from Huo Sijiao, Qiao Xi gave in, feeling helpless as she let Huo Sijiao take her to work.

“Where’s my brother?”

Huo Sijiao scanned around with her sharp eyes; not seeing Huo Xingzhou, an alarm went off in her heart.

“He went to work. There’s a lot to handle at Tianyuan Group.”

Huo Sijiao looked thoughtfully at Qiao Xi and said, “Sister-in-law, my brother now has status and position, and his legs have healed. There must be many little fairies eyeing him outside, you need to prevent problems before they arise and don’t give those women any opportunities.”

Upon hearing her words, the smile at the corner of Qiao Xi’s mouth faded slightly as she said, “Don’t worry.”

Huo Sijiao didn’t take much notice. She drove a Maserati out of the garage and called out, “Sister-in-law, get in the car.”

“Okay.”

Qiao Xi got in the car, and with a beautiful drift, Huo Sijiao took off towards the hospital.

This luxury car attracted quite a bit of attention as it appeared at the hospital.

Particularly because the two beautiful women getting out of it were both rather attractive.

Qiao Xi was a bit uncomfortable with such attention.

Huo Sijiao held her chin up high and, linking arms with her, walked in with heads held high. She was like a proud little peacock, wanting everyone to know that Qiao Xi was part of the Huo Family. Let the rumors disperse as quickly as they had gathered.

Don’t think she didn’t know, those gossipers were all saying that her sister-in-law was not worthy of her brother, that even as an apprentice of the National Doctor she was still just a humble village girl.

Just as the two entered the hospital, they were bumped into by a woman looking panicked.

“You… Su Weiwei?”

Huo Sijiao was about to lose her temper, then she saw Su Weiwei, who was wearing sick clothes and had moist eyes.

She was clutching her phone, her hair messy and hanging loose.

Upon seeing Huo Sijiao and Qiao Xi, hatred burning like crimson in her eyes, Su Weiwei said.

“Qiao Xi, must you be so ruthlessly thorough?” Su Weiwei screamed hysterically.

“What?”

Qiao Xi was flabbergasted.

“Where has our Su Family wronged you? You married Huo Xingzhou as a replacement and gained a huge advantage, yet you seek to drive our Su Family into the ground!” Su Weiwei vented, “Even if I die, I won’t let you off!”

She enunciated every word.

Each word seemed to contain endless blood-fueled hatred.

After speaking for a bit, the person on the other end of the phone seemed to be hurrying her. She left in a rush without continuing to curse.

Qiao Xi and Huo Sijiao looked at each other.

Huo Sijiao was the first to speak, “Does she… have a problem with her brain?”

“Perhaps she got a big shock,” Qiao Xi thought of the recent hospital gossip and knew Su Weiwei came in because she was infected with a disease by Mo Jiajun and wondered if the blocking treatment had worked.

“Sister-in-law, hurry and show me your new consultation room,” Huo Sijiao said eagerly, and Qiao Xi simply led her forward. Her consultation room was arranged next to Dr. Yan’s, and there were no objections from anyone in the hospital to her ending her internship early to begin consulting.

Because her mentor was Cheng Han!

It’s ten minutes to eight.

At the consultation room door, people who had registered were already queuing.

Qiao Xi changed into her clothes and mask and logged into the hospital system.

Huo Sijiao sat on the waiting chair just outside the door, watching. Based on her understanding of Xu Xingluo, she was sure that woman would show up.

That woman always tested the waters slowly, seizing the opportunity to devour her enemy and then deliver a fatal blow.

Her sister-in-law didn’t have such schemes.

Huo Sijiao wrapped her arms around herself, watching as patients called by number entered one by one.

Her eyes scanned through the crowd.

Until it was almost evening.

As expected.

She spotted a slender woman, wearing a mask and sunglasses.

Her temperament stood out, elegant like a crane among chickens.

Even though Huo Sijiao didn’t get along with Xu Xingluo, she had to admit that this woman was attractive and capable.

Xu Xingluo also noticed her, took off her sunglasses, and revealed a light, harmless smile, “Jiaojiao, it’s been a long time.”

Huo Sijiao straightened her back and walked over to her, “Indeed, it has been a long time, I thought you would be hiding abroad like a turtle for the rest of your life.”

Xu Xingluo’s smile faded slightly, and her eyes started to moisten, “So you’ve misunderstood me too.”

“Misunderstood? When you knew my brother had become comatose, losing his right to inheritance, you didn’t hesitate to leave the country,” Huo Sijiao said, harboring a lot of resentment. “You always called him ‘Brother Xingzhou,’ and since you were little, you cried and clamored to marry my brother. So hypocritical.”

Huo Sijiao didn’t know the extent of her brother’s relationship with Xu Xingluo, but at the time, everyone thought they were the most suitable couple for marriage.

Every time Xu Xingluo saw her brother, she displayed unusual intimacy.

She didn’t explain when friends and relatives teased her, letting people talk as though she and Huo Xingzhou were a couple.

“It’s not like that.”

Xu Xingluo said with a bitter laugh, “Huo Sijiao, I truly have my difficulties.”

“What difficulties? Let’s hear them.”

Huo Sijiao scoffed, sizing her up, “I suppose it’s the torment of your innate love for vanity, right? I really don’t understand. Being the darling held in the palm by the Liu Family and Xu Family, how could you think so mercenarily and realistically.”

Xu Xingluo prided herself as a ballet goddess, loving what’s elegant, yet Huo Sijiao saw only one word when she looked at her.

Tacky!

“Xu Xingluo, knowing my brother is good for nothing, you just thought of leaving him behind. And now you want to come back and make amends? Not a chance!”

She, Huo Sijiao, would never let her ruin the relationship between her sister-in-law and brother.

Xu Xingluo pressed her lips tightly together, her eyes turning red, “Seeing him doing well is enough for me.”

“Hypocrite!”

“Jiaojiao, do you still remember ten years ago? Without me, he would have probably…” Xu Xingluo began, tears falling from her eyes.

Huo Sijiao was originally furious, but upon hearing “ten years ago,” her rage was instantly extinguished, even showing some hollow toughness.

Xu Xingluo stopped there, glancing at the screen and saying, “It’s my turn now.”

She put on her sunglasses and walked into the consultation room, with Huo Sijiao clenching her fists in frustration.

Knock knock.

Xu Xingluo politely knocked on the door of the consultation room.

Then she walked in with confidence.

“Miss Qiao.”

She wore a standard smile and sat on the low stool.

Qiao Xi lifted her gaze to see her, what a coincidence.

“Miss Xu, in the hospital, you can call me Doctor Qiao.”

“Alright.”

Xu Xingluo looked pure and delicate, like a pampered darling. She seemed like a harmless dodder flower, hardly arousing any wariness.

“What seems to be the trouble with your body?” Qiao Xi asked softly.

“My leg hurts. Western medicine checks found no problems, but I keep feeling a dull pain,” Xu Xingluo revealed her fair right leg from under her skirt hem, “It hurts a lot.”

Qiao Xi checked her pulse with a furrowed brow but couldn’t find any issue.

Xu Xingluo spoke slowly, “Doctor Qiao, have you ever heard of post-traumatic stress disorder after a car accident?”

Qiao Xi’s head buzzed.

She had come across this term before, on Mr. Huo’s computer search screen.
