Chapter 308: Chapter 88: You can go wash up and get some sleep!
Quan Shaoqing saw the worried look on her face, reached out, and hugged her waist. He kissed her face and said, "I’m fine! It’s just a bit of water; it can’t hurt me."
"Are you really okay?" Gu Xiaoxi grabbed his collar, looking at his relaxed face with worry in her eyes.
"I’m really fine!" Quan Shaoqing held her tight and then turned to the driver, Uncle Zhou, "Let’s drive back quickly."
"Yes, young master!" Uncle Zhou immediately pressed on the gas pedal.
On the way back, Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t stop worrying about Quan Shaoqing; after all, she had seen clearly that it was a bowl of boiling water.
When they arrived home, Gu Xiaoxi picked up the treasure she had won at the auction and followed Quan Shaoqing inside. As soon as they entered the living room, they saw a stranger sitting on the sofa.
Gu Xiaoxi looked curiously at the man and heard Quan Shaoqing introduce him, "Ai Xiang, he’s a doctor. Uncle Zhou, quickly prepare some tea for our guest; I’ll come down as soon as I change my clothes."
"I thought you would come back later. Didn’t expect you so early, how come the banquet today wasn’t enjoyable?" Ai Xiang asked with a smile.
Quan Shaoqing sighed and said little, "I’ll talk to you about it later."
Gu Xiaoxi saw that there was still a large wet patch on Quan Shaoqing’s shoulder and hurriedly urged, "You better go quickly! I’ll take care of the guest."
Quan Shaoqing looked at his wife with a satisfied smile and headed upstairs.
Gu Xiaoxi set down the box in her hand, took a few big steps forward, and stood in front of the man curiously asking, "You’re a doctor; what brings you here so late?"
The man sitting in front of her had a very bewitching appearance, androgynous, with a natural charm and seductiveness in his eyebrows. At the moment, he was wearing a white suit, sitting on the sofa with an elegant posture yet exuding an unfathomable sense of mystery.
"It seems Miss Gu doesn’t welcome me!" Ai Xiang said with a smile. Under his finely shaped eyebrows, his eyes shimmered playfully.
Gu Xiaoxi glanced at him and said softly with a laugh, "How could that be! It just feels like having a doctor visit at home is never for anything good."
"Miss Gu, Shaoqing and I are friends. Can’t I just drop by for a visit?" Ai Xiang took the cup of tea offered by Uncle Zhou, sipping it while sizing up Gu Xiaoxi.
Meanwhile, Gu Xiaoxi was also scrutinizing him.
Of course, she also wanted to probe this doctor about Quan Shaoqing’s injury. She hadn’t forgotten the task assigned to her by Lin Mi.
"Staring at me like that could give Shaoqing the wrong idea." Ai Xiang held his teacup, squinting his eyes, and threw Gu Xiaoxi a flirty glance.
Gu Xiaoxi snorted with laughter, holding back her intended question. She felt this guy was slick and shifty, always showing a cunning look that he could not seem to hide, clearly not someone easy to get information out of.
"You’re staring at me in the same way!" Gu Xiaoxi sat down on the sofa and took out her phone. Today’s incident at the Zhang family’s event was far from over; Quan Shaoqing wouldn’t let the Zhang family off the hook, and neither would she let Zhang Jingyue get away with it.
Though her actions weren’t serious enough to call the police, she wanted her to never be able to turn her life around.
This was the consequence of being ignorant and always trying to plot against her.
She had a recording on her phone where Liu Wenxing was instructed by Zhang Jingyue to do something wrong, using Zhang Houde’s name to vouch for a transaction.
She edited it and then, with a piece of text, directly posted it on social media.
As she was doing this, Ai Xiang didn’t disturb her but found her serious demeanor rather pleasing to watch. He couldn’t help but admire Quan Shaoqing’s taste; she truly was a rare beauty.
Gu Xiaoxi posted the following message on her social media:
’Rich Miss Zhang Jingyue, using power for personal gain!’ Then, she attached the recording and sent it out.
Especially this kind of ambiguous content, along with a public recording, in just a short time pushed Zhang Jingyue into the limelight.
Just moments later, another piece of news broke out: ’Zhang Jingyue causes a scene at her grandfather’s birthday banquet, orchestrating a drama and offending prominent families.’ There were also photos of her being slapped and kneeling on the ground.
Seeing this, Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t help but laugh, "It seems that not only were the Zhang family’s own members present at the banquet, but also their competitors. They actually released photos from the actual event. They are intent on pushing the Zhang family into the line of fire."
What surprised Gu Xiaoxi even more was that someone had actually recorded a video of Zhang Jingyue admitting her mistake, complete with a lengthy commentary, cleverly avoiding any exposure of Quan Shaoqing and her in the footage.
Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t help but marvel; these were some true masters at work. This photo had even more of an impact than her recording.
"Miss Gu seems very happy right now!" Ai Xiang, seeing her talking to herself, couldn’t help but ask.
Gu Xiaoxi put away her phone, revealing a sunny smile, "I wouldn’t say I’m happy. After all, someone targeted me, and my mood was pretty bad. But if that person receives punishment, I think, I would still be quite happy."
"Then I don’t understand what you’re saying."
"Then don’t understand!" Gu Xiaoxi laughed lightly, pointing to the cup in front of Ai Xiang, "Continue drinking your tea. I’ll ask Uncle Zhou to add some more for you."
Ai Xiang naturally didn’t know everything that had happened with the Zhang family; the event had just begun.
As time passed, the things exposed online would become more and more numerous, and she didn’t need to lift a finger; there were plenty of people who wanted to drag the Zhang family down.
At this time, Quan Shaoqing came downstairs wearing a new T-shirt.
Seeing the smile on Gu Xiaoxi’s face, he walked over and took her hand, "Why are you so happy?"
"Look at your phone!" Gu Xiaoxi handed her phone to Quan Shaoqing.
By now, the affair involving Zhang Jingyue had hit the entertainment headlines. It had even escalated to encompass stories about Old Master Zhang doting on his granddaughter, letting her run wild, and abusing power for personal gain.
There were also people who had been promised certain deals by Zhang Jingyue but had not seen their promises fulfilled, coming forward to testify that this was true.
After reading the content, Quan Shaoqing put down the phone with an expressionless face, his voice cold, "In the past, it was my father who protected them, and nobody dared to mess with them. Now, having done such things, it’s their own fault."
"So you mean, your father knows about this?" Gu Xiaoxi asked, shocked.
"When I went upstairs just now, he called me. He told me to deal with this matter myself and would not intervene. I think Old Master Zhang must have called to plead with him," Quan Shaoqing explained.
Gu Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; thankfully, he hadn’t criticized her.
Otherwise, her disagreement with Zhang Jingyue would be seen as the start of the dispute, and if she were to be blamed for the incident, she would have no response.
Seeing Gu Xiaoxi’s suddenly relaxed expression, Quan Shaoqing suddenly said with a smile, "My father said you..."
"Ah!" Gu Xiaoxi tensed, gripping her fingers tightly, anxious about what his father had said. But Quan Shaoqing stopped abruptly with a serious look on his face, which also scared her, "What did he say?"
Quan Shaoqing, seeing her nervous yet adorable look, couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "He said you are a good daughter-in-law. When he comes back to the country, he will come to see you."
"You scared me to death!" Gu Xiaoxi finally released her breath, "I thought he was criticizing me?"
After all, it was because of her that the two families ended up at odds.
"Why would he criticize you? As a woman of the Quan family, you don’t need to take that kind of nonsense," Quan Shaoqing said.
Sitting on the side and sipping tea, Ai Xiang observed the two and thought their relationship was really good! Even he could see the difference; the usually cold Quan Shaoqing was so gentle and approachable in front of Gu Xiaoxi.
"I feel like I’m a bit redundant sitting here. You two enjoy your sweet moment; I’ll go upstairs," Ai Xiang stood up, touching her beautiful short hair, exuding a flirtatious and enchanting aura.
Quan Shaoqing nodded, "Remember to get up early tomorrow morning; we leave at six o’clock."
Gu Xiaoxi, puzzled, stared at Ai Xiang, asking, "Is he going to stay here?"
"Yes! And tomorrow, he will go to the military base with you too!" Ai Xiang winked at Gu Xiaoxi, her smile turning heads.
"To the military base?" Gu Xiaoxi turned to look at Quan Shaoqing, full of surprise.
Quan Shaoqing nodded quickly, explaining, "He will become your accompanying physician, joining you in national and world competitions."
Gu Xiaoxi was now staring at Ai Xiang, her gaze shifting. In other words, this guy was going to live with them for at least three months or more.
"Miss Gu, I’m also looking forward to working with you," Ai Xiang said flirtatiously to Gu Xiaoxi.
Quan Shaoqing issued a dismissal, "You can go wash up and sleep!"
