In the corner of the stairs.
Qiao Xi saw the name flashing on the screen and answered it while holding back her disgust.
"Hey."
"Xixi." Zhao Yuzhen on the other end of the phone probed gently, "I heard that Second Young Master Huo is awake? Is his legs really useless?"
As soon as the doctor made the diagnosis, the Su family knew the inside information.
Zhao Yuzhen didn't care about how the Huo family dealt with a stepdaughter who was married off, nor did she ask her how she spent last night. Instead, she came to pry out the inside story.
Qiao Xi's heart became even colder.
She said calmly: "I'll hang up if it's okay."
"and many more!"
Zhao Yuzhen shouted anxiously, "Help your sister! Huo Xingzhou has a big project in his hands, which is a cooperation between Tianyuan Group and the Huo family. As long as you can convince him to sign the "Project Transfer Letter", your sister can marry Huo Xingzhou. Young Master, you can still be sisters-in-law."
Qiao Xi laughed angrily.
"Why do you think I can help you with this? I am just a wedding bride and have no status."
Zhao Yuzhen coaxed her patiently and said: "Huo Xingzhou woke up as soon as you got married. Now the second wife of the Huo family is counting on you. Besides, he is already a useless person. What's the use of holding a project in his hand? It's better to let him out to help you. Sister and Young Master Huo."
Greed flashed in Zhao Yuzhen's eyes. After the project is completed, it will make billions of profits. Huo Xingzhou relied on this project to secure his position in the Huo family.
"I can not help you."
With that said, Qiao Xi was about to hang up the phone.
Zhao Yuzhen's voice was sharp and she shouted: "That old country woman has been taken to Su's house! If you don't agree, you will never see her again in this life."
"You're still not a human being!" Qiao Xi roared angrily, "That's my grandma and your mother-in-law!"
If grandma hadn't raised her for so many years, she would have died!
Grandma's life was hard, and she had to save money to go to school, which exhausted her body. No matter how hard she tried to study medicine with her neighbor Grandpa Cheng, she still couldn't save her body that was exhausted and withered.
Zhao Yuzhen actually asked her to travel a long distance! I don’t know how many twists and turns the little old lady suffered.
"Your father died a long time ago, and that old woman and I are not related by blood." Zhao Yuzhen said coolly.
Qiao Xi held the phone, her joints turned white and her fingers trembled.
She bit her lip forbearingly and asked with red eyes: "Am I still your biological daughter?"
Zhao Yuzhen was silent for a while, and her voice was cold and ruthless: "I raised Weiwei with my own hands. She comes from a very classy and talented family. If you can marry the second young master of the Huo family, of course she will marry better than you. I don't care about you. Whether you steal or rob, you have to do it."
"On the day you return home, I'll wait for good news from you. Otherwise... anything can happen to this old woman given her age."
Zhao Yuzhen hung up the phone directly.
A chill rose from the soles of Qiao Xi's feet and spread to her back. She only felt that the air she inhaled was like a knife scraping her throat and lungs, stinging.
……
After a while, there was a sound from the stairs.
"Young madam, what are you doing hiding here?"
Aunt Qian searched for her for a long time, then pulled her towards the master bedroom, "The young master will look for you when he wakes up."
Qiao Xi put away her worries and followed Aunt Qian to the room. When Mrs. Huo saw her, she affectionately pulled her to the bedside and said to the cold man on the bed.
"This is Qiao Xi, your wife. The marriage she arranged for you when you were in a coma."
Qiao Xi looked into Huo Xingzhou's ice-hardened eyes and lowered her head in embarrassment and shame. He must have thought that she was a cowardly woman who was worse than a beast.
The man's eyes were like the strong wind sweeping through the sand city, brewing a storm. The eyebrow bones were lowered, and a coldness filled the air.
"divorce."
he said, with a hint of command.
Qiao Xi looked at him in surprise.
"No!" Du Juan said in a high-pitched voice angrily, "Qiao Xi is your life! What if you die after the divorce? Are you still thinking about that little bitch!"
"Mother." He had just recovered from a serious illness, and his voice was slow and hoarse, with a hint of helplessness. "I am a useless person when I wake up. I have lost my family inheritance, so why bother others."
The corners of Mrs. Huo's eyes were red, she covered her mouth and sobbed: "It will be fine, as long as we can find that old gentleman! You still have the resources in your hand to turn over! Everything will be fine!"
"Then have you asked this young lady if she is willing to remain a widow?"
When he said this, Huo Xingzhou happened to look at Qiao Xi, with something else hidden in his eyes.
Qiao Xi felt as if ants were crawling all over her body, and she once thought of the awkward interaction last night. Does he think she is such a dissatisfied person?
Mrs. Huo felt a little guilty and looked at Qiao Xi with confusion.
"Qiao Xi, are you willing to accompany me on the boat? Although our second wife has lost power, I still have a large dowry, which is enough to cover the expenses." She looked at Qiao Xi pleadingly.
Qiao Xi pursed her red lips tightly, her nails digging deeply into her skin. Zhao Yuzhen used her grandma to threaten Huo Xingzhou's big projects, but those things seemed to be the only way to turn her second wife around.
Should she take away the hope of the Huo family's second wife?
But what about grandma?
Her silence fell into the eyes of mother and son, indicating that they were unwilling.
The man lying on the bed had a distant look on his face and a dignified air. He concluded as if he understood, "The divorce procedures will be completed tomorrow."
Qiao Xi reacted suddenly, and a soft voice sounded.
"I'm not getting a divorce!"
Facing Huo Xingzhou's terrifying eyes, she mustered up the courage to say, "I'm already married to you, and I'm willing to remain a widow!"
Mrs. Huo breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Good boy, I know you are different from those women outside. Aunt Qian, let's go, don't delay the young couple's relationship cultivation."
"Hey."
Aunt Qian responded and gave Qiao Xi a "heroic" look.
The two left and locked the door directly.
Qiao Xi stood at the head of the bed, lowered her head, fiddled with her fingers, and licked her dry lips. The man's sharp gaze was fixed on her.
A long while.
He said quietly: "Miss Qiao, if you want money, I can give it to you. All her dowry was trapped in the stock market. She lied to you."
Qiao Xi bit her cheek and explained, "I'm not interested in money."
Scenes from last night flashed before Huo Xingzhou's eyes, his chest rose and fell slightly and he said with a sigh: "When I wake up, I will never condone what you did to me last night. Being a widow means that you can't touch a finger of mine, even... "
His expression became even colder, "It doesn't even satisfy my craving."
Qiao Xi blushed so hard that she could bleed.
Kissing and hugging is called satisfying one's cravings?
"I don't." She whispered softly, "And you can't either."
"What did you say?" the man asked.
Qiao Xi shook her head, loosened her clenched hands, and made a decision.
Her apricot eyes were as clear as water, and her voice was firm: "Mr. Huo, I am sure that I can cure your legs."
"Ah."
The man sneered.
From being a proud man to being useless, he was filled with irritation and defeat. The woman in front of him humiliated and teased him again and again.
No matter how good his demeanor, Huo Xingzhou lost his last patience and said, "Get out."
Qiao Xi's innocent face was full of stubbornness, "I didn't lie."
"Do you have a medical qualification certificate? Who has you cured? What proof do you have?"
Qiao Xi shook her head, "No, but I have treated many people in the countryside. When I wiped you, I took your pulse and it was..."
"go out!"
Qiao Xi frowned, feeling a little angry in the face of his resistance.
She stepped forward, lifted Huo Xingzhou's quilt, and took off his pajamas! The legs with clear muscle lines were exposed to the air.
The man was furious.
"Qiao Xi!"
