Chapter 270: Chapter 270 She’s Playing Two Ends Against The Middle

Liu Zongyun did not trust Liu Huimin.

It was as if her mind had been stuffed with shoddy filler by Xu Guangyao for more than twenty years, a mess that likely couldn’t be cleaned up overnight.

Liu Huimin’s eyes reddened slightly as she shook her head.

"No."

Liu Zongyun did not believe her nonsense, and he pointedly said, "Do you think her suicide attempt, her kneeling, was to gain your sympathy or to threaten you into forgiving her? If she were truly remorseful, she should feel shame. She wouldn’t dare to make a scene in front of you but would instead show modesty and not wail as if the sky had fallen.

Liu Huimin, I thought you had some sense."

Someone who realizes their mistake and corrects it is indeed very ashamed.

They definitely would not cry and make a fuss, kneeling and begging constantly.

Their words are full of holes.

Liu Huimin was scolded by him until she blushed with shame: "Second Brother, I really didn’t..."

"Tomorrow you will continue to accompany me to the hospital, you must come every day."

Liu Zongyun said coldly.

He was going to see what other tricks Xu Xingluo had up her sleeve.

Crying, causing a disturbance, resorting to even threats of suicide, she had tried it all!

Even if Liu Huimin had a soft heart, seeing the same antics over and over would surely wear her out. Then she should reflect on what kind of mindset Xu Xingluo had in seeking her forgiveness.

"Second Brother, you believe I will change."

Liu Zongyun paid no attention to her, instead, he picked up a phone call.

Hearing the words on the other end of the call, Liu Zongyun’s expression instantly turned grave: "What? The paternity test results are out? We will come back immediately."

...

Elsewhere.

Shu Xue walked briskly through the crowd to Qiao Xi and took her hand.

"Sister, how did I do just now? That green tea b***h was so annoyed, her nose was practically crooked," Shu Xue said, fishing for compliments.

Qiao Xi, after apologizing to the patients, made her way through the crowd to a quiet spot before answering Shu Xue.

"I saw everything! Our future Head Nurse Shu is really something!"

"Of course."

Shu Xue was proud, "Xu Xingluo won’t be able to turn things around this time. Let’s see how she fights you for Huo Xingzhou!"

"She never stood a chance," Qiao Xi said confidently.

Mr. Huo wasn’t the kind to switch loyalties upon seeing someone new.

"Hey," Shu Xue said gossipingly, "did that Pan Yiyang seek you out again afterwards?"

Qiao Xi shook her head.

Shu Xue smiled saying, "He must have been scared off by your husband. I heard from Qin Yuan that Pan Yiyang has given up on the Tianyuan Group interview, afraid that your husband would hold a grudge and make life difficult for him."

"Mr. Huo would never do such a thing, keeping his public and private affairs separate."

"Well, some people are just paranoid, misjudging others by their own narrow-minded standards."

Hearing this, Qiao Xi picked up on her words, "You mean Qin Yuan? You’ve kept in touch with him afterwards?"

The blind date was merely the affair of the previous afternoon.

"We chat casually every day, sort of cultivating feelings," Shu Xue said nonchalantly.

This was also a task assigned by the elders.

If she didn’t reply to Qin Yuan’s messages, her mother would scold her relentlessly.

Grown-ups fostering feelings according to procedure, getting to know each other, waiting for the right time to get married and settle down. Shu Xue could already envision her future married life; stable and without turbulence.

Qiao Xi almost slipped up.

She wanted to ask, what about Zhou Yu?

What were her feelings towards Zhou Yu?

Their relationship was quite chaotic, yet orderly in its chaos.

Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment before asking, "You came looking for me to drink the other night, it got quite late. Mr. Huo had an employee from his company send you home, you’ve met him a few times. Did he see you home?"

She tentatively probed Shu Xue’s attitude.

Shu Xue looked at her with a smile, "Why do you still call him Mr. Huo after being married for so long? You and your husband enjoy this kind of role-play, don’t you?"

Qiao Xi blushed and urged, "Hurry up and tell me your story."

She was used to calling out!

After all, during the day she’d call him Mr. Huo, but surely not at night.

Shu Xue remembered what happened that night, and she got angry.

She had been drunk, not expecting that the Tianyuan Group employee would actually be Zhou Yu. That man really took her home, but it ended up being his place!

She had woken up on his bed.

Without a stitch on.

The soreness in her body made it very clear what had transpired all night.

Zhou Yu claimed it was her who took the initiative.

She wanted to take advantage of the situation and even lead him on!

So angry, she left by taxi right away!

Qiao Xi saw her spaced out and called out, "Shu Xue?"

Shu Xue came back to reality, her eyes flashing as she said, "He took me home, and I didn’t expect Mr. Zhou to be quite nice. I thought since he was always following Huo Xingzhou, he must be very arrogant."

Seeing her play dumb, Qiao Xi said, "Mr. Zhou is great as a friend, very loyal. But he’s not suitable as a boyfriend, I’ve heard from Mr. Huo that he’s had many girlfriends in the past. The longest relationship lasted three years, the shortest just a week."

Typical playboy.

"A week?" Shu Xue had never inquired about Zhou Yu’s romantic past.

They had an understanding, not to delve into each other’s history.

"Mr. Zhou is a committed bachelor. He’s made up his mind not to marry, so he won’t last long with ordinary girls." Qiao Xi was reminding her not to get her hopes up about Zhou Yu.

To prevent heartbreak.

Shu Xue didn’t clarify her situation with Zhou Yu to her, so she pretended not to know.

To avoid awkwardness.

Shu Xue maintained a strained smile and said, "Still not marrying? Hahaha, then it seems we’re not on the same path! Luckily, my family has arranged Qin Yuan for me, and I’m quite satisfied. Qiao Xi, maybe it won’t be long before you can drink to my happiness, you must give me a big red envelope, okay?"

"Definitely."

Qiao Xi took her hand, "Shu Xue, I hope you can happily walk down the aisle. If Qin Yuan is not good enough, don’t settle for less."

Shu Xue was her best friend.

Qiao Xi sincerely hoped she could live happily and well for the rest of her life, always in a honey pot of joy.

"Don’t worry," Shu Xue said softly, "I know what I’m doing."

...

Elsewhere.

Xu Xingluo was forcibly brought back to the ward by a nurse, indignant, "Is your hospital going to imprison me? Can’t I even step out the door?"

"Miss Xu, you are a patient. Since you’re hospitalized, you must follow the rules of the hospital. You can’t just disturb other patients," the nurse said in a cold tone.

"If you need anything, press the call button," she added before leaving.

Xu Xingluo fumed in the ward, "Snobs!"

"All snobs! They used to suck up to me like slavish dogs, revolving around me! Now that they see me down on my luck, they all come to gloat and humiliate me!"

She shattered all the glass cups on the coffee table.

Through a crack in the door, the nurse reminded her coolly, "Miss Xu, you’ll have to pay for any damage to the hospital property."

"Get lost! Can’t I afford it?" Xu Xingluo’s hair was disheveled, a mess over her face like some demon.

The ward’s door opened.

Xiang Huai held a brand-new phone and walked over, telling the nurse, "Whatever she breaks, I’ll pay for it! I don’t know what advantages Qiao Xi gave you, to go against a patient in the hospital!"

His face an ashen hue, he slammed the door shut behind him.

When he faced Xu Xingluo, he had a gentle look on his face: "Xingluo, I brought you the phone. Did you go out just now?"

Xu Xingluo struggled to suppress her emotions, took the phone, and said, "I just wanted to cool off alone for a bit."

Xiang Huai looked at her, hesitating to speak.

There were two pieces of bad news about Xu Xingluo.
