Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Another Collaboration, and She’ll Die in Bed

Qiao Xi’s cheeks flushed slightly as she spoke, "I feel calling Mr. Huo is more intimate."

She thrived under his protection, her wings growing full.

It wasn’t just love, but also respect.

Huo Xingzhou extended his hand and tucked her hanging locks of hair behind her ear, "Still shy."

He could understand the education she had received; Granny Qiao was a very traditional person.

Qiao Xi bit her tongue slightly and said, "Today, Liu Zongyun registered at the hospital for treatment, and I bumped into Xu Xingluo kneeling and apologizing to him. But the Liu Family seemed unforgiving..."

Huo Xingzhou smiled wryly, "Of course they don’t forgive! Don’t underestimate Haicheng’s number one wealthy Liu family! After so many years, they only had Liu Huimin..."

"Don’t think the Liu Family is neglecting Xu Xingluo and Shen Shiyun now, they are secretly gathering clues and evidence. Waiting to catch everyone in one fell swoop..."

Listening to his words, Qiao Xi was enlightened.

Huo Xingzhou laughed again, "The police station’s appraisal results have come out; the Liu Family must be in chaos now... Let’s go, Aunt Qian has made morel mushroom soup at home, I hear you’ve been spreading rumors outside that I love it?"

"I didn’t!"

That was Shu Xue’s doing.

The man’s eyes hinted at amusement, "If you’re dissatisfied with my performance tonight, you can just say it. Any tonic medicinal meals you have, just bring them out, I’ll cooperate with you."

Qiao Xi’s face turned beet red, "Stop cooperating."

If he cooperated any further, she might die in bed.

The proud man let out a light chuckle, "Saying one thing but meaning another."

Qiao Xi’s ears heated up upon hearing him utter the idiom, and she couldn’t help but recall "sly and cunning." Fearing his next question about which word of the four he embodied?

...

The Liu Family of Haicheng.

Liu Zongyun and Liu Huimin rushed to the old Liu Family mansion.

Everyone in the living room, both young and old, looked toward them, their gazes fixated specifically on Liu Huimin.

She felt as if ants were crawling all over her body; she couldn’t help curling her fingers. Had the family learned about her meeting with Xu Xingluo in the hospital?

Or did they see through her for being slightly soft-hearted toward Xu Xingluo, sensing her guiltiness?

She hadn’t interacted much with Xu Xingluo.

And she had listened well to her older brother.

So why were her nephews and sister-in-law looking at her with eyes full of unspeakable thoughts?

"Big brother, sister-in-law, mom," she called out nervously, fearing she might have done something wrong again.

Even the family dog lived more easily and freely than she did.

"You called asking for me and younger brother to come home quickly; is there something wrong?" Liu Huimin tentatively asked.

Old Mrs. Liu took a deep breath and was the first to speak, "Huimin, the police’s paternity test results are out. The dead infant found behind the bamboo forest is not related to Xu Guangyao."

"Huimin, did you... ever cuckold Xu Guangyao in the past?"

The old woman felt this was the only way to explain Xu Guangyao’s crazed actions!

Liu Huimin had an affair!

Being discovered by Xu Guangyao, he coldly switched the child to get his revenge!

The whole family looked at Liu Huimin, waiting for her answer!

They used to believe Liu Huimin wouldn’t do such a thing, but having seen her idiotic behavior recently, they suddenly thought it was very possible!

Liu Huimin’s head buzzed.

How could the child not be Xu Guangyao’s?

The entire family suspected she had an affair!

Standing under everyone’s gaze, Liu Huimin was overwhelmed with shame, "I didn’t have an affair!"

Old Mrs. Liu asked, "No one-night stand?"

Liu Zongquan asked, "You weren’t tricked?"

Xu Yunye asked, "No drunken indiscretion?"

Liu Huimin’s face turned pale and flushed, "No! No! No!"

"I... I am sure that child was mine and Xu Guangyao’s, I don’t know why the test says otherwise!"

The others fell silent.

A grave possibility dawned on them.

"The dead infant dug up from the bamboo grove, it wasn’t our family’s child at all! Xu Guangyao lied!"

"That child might still be alive!"

When Liu Huimin heard this, her heart rate quickened, pounding loudly in her ears!

Alive!

Could it be that her biological daughter was actually alive?

Liu Zongquan was sitting at the head of the table. He had not placed all his hopes on the police but had sent people to follow the trail left by Xu Guangyao.

They had found some significant information.

He began, "Recently, Xu Guangyao was looking into the list of newborns born in Hai City Hospital on August 1st, twenty-two years ago, and eventually sent people to Moon Village. He found a girl and prepared to carry out a paternity test."

Of course, it wasn’t completed because he was locked up!

Liu Huimin asked urgently, "Where is the child? How is she now?"

Xu Yunye also looked eagerly at Liu Zongquan.

Liu Zongquan slowly said, "I’ve already sent someone to fetch her, preparing to do a paternity test at the city hospital. Huimin, don’t hold out too much hope."

This matter can’t be taken lightly.

It had to be a reputable hospital.

Xu Xiuyuan was in Hai City Hospital, so no one would tamper with it.

Liu Huimin, as if convinced that the girl was her child, asked, "When will she arrive?"

She couldn’t wait to meet her and to proceed with the paternity test at the hospital.

"She’ll arrive tonight at the earliest."

Liu Huimin breathed rapidly, "Okay, then I’ll personally go to pick her up. Tomorrow we’ll... go to the hospital for the test."

Liu Zongquan spoke again, "The police station requires your sample to determine the relationship between you and the deceased infant."

Liu Huimin’s heart felt sour and swollen, her mind filled with thoughts of the girl she hadn’t yet met. She distractedly responded, "I understand."

Xu Yunye sat in the corner.

Images of yellow jade and Moon Village flashed in his mind.

Could it be...

But he had conducted the test secretly, and Qiao Xi wasn’t the one.

His fingers clenched tightly into a fist, digging into his flesh.

A voice in his heart said, try again!

Verify it one more time!

If he couldn’t reach Qiao Xi, he would resort to more drastic measures!

...

The next day.

Qiao Xi went to work wearing her new watch, holding a designer paper bag in her hand.

She had just gotten out of the car and reached the hospital entrance when she saw Shu Xue stepping out of that familiar Audi A3. She even greeted Qin Yuan.

Qiao Xi waited on the side with her eyebrows arched, teasing as Shu Xue approached, "Morning and evening rides, it seems you two get along very well. When can I expect to celebrate your wedding?"

Compared to Zhou Yu’s elusive presence, like a leaf with no root.

Qin Yuan seemed more dependable; he genuinely wanted to get married.

Shu Xue calculated, "Wait a bit longer! The red thread of fate hasn’t tied us together yet."

She was trying to convince herself to give up on elusive fantasies and not chase after someone she could never truly grasp.

These past few days, a certain man in her contacts list has been as silent as if he were dead, not even a message.

Shu Xue considered him completely dead by now!

Qiao Xi asked, "What do you guys usually do when you’re on a blind date?"

"Eat, shop, watch movies, stroll around the streets."

Shu Xue looked at the bag in her hand and asked, "Is that new clothes? Why did you bring it to the hospital?"

"Mr. Huo is hosting an important guest tonight, and I’m attending too. I didn’t want to embarrass him, so I came prepared."

Shu Xue clicked her tongue twice, "Wife follows husband! I envy you, you can go to work whenever you want, and leave if needed."

Qiao Xi looked at her and said, "But I don’t get a salary, you know. I’m just helping out voluntarily."

"I know, our Doctor Qiao, beautiful and kind-hearted, it’s well known throughout the entire hospital."

The two joked and laughed.

A stretch Lincoln stopped at the entrance of the hospital.
