Chapter 398: Chapter 398 I Saw You Hitting Him

Within sight,

were the bright red hem of a dress and the fair, small legs that appeared.

Shen Xuanzhi slowly looked up and saw a face as lovely as a rose, provocative and gorgeous. She was holding an umbrella and frowning as she spoke.

"Shen Xuanzhi, how can a sickly person like you still be fighting with others?"

Shen Xuanzhi stood up, leaning against the alley wall, wiping the blood from his lips. He unsteadily held onto the wall as he walked. Huo Sijiao followed under her umbrella, saying, "Let me help you to the hospital, you look seriously injured."

"No need," Shen Xuanzhi said hoarsely. He coughed fiercely, which made his voice even raspier.

"What are you going to do then? You’re in such a state that even taxi drivers would refuse to take you, and you might scare the passengers on the bus. Are you planning to walk home?"

"I don’t need your concern."

"Shen Xuanzhi, I know how to repay kindness. Have you truly forgotten that half a year ago I..."

"Miss Huo."

Shen Xuanzhi stopped, turned around, and looked at her.

There were still bloodshot in his eyes and an unsettled fierceness. The fearsome look was a stark contrast to his frail appearance.

He warned, "Stay away from me, don’t bother me here."

After speaking, he slowly walked on.

His back remained straight.

Huo Sijiao was stunned.

Such apparent disgust and malice made her pause for a while.

"Shen Xuanzhi, if I reason with you further, I’m a fool! Since you don’t remember me, then, Miss here will... will consider we never met! Why are you so proud!"

She was obviously infuriated.

Huo Sijiao, anger boiling over, watched his retreating back. Why was he always so polite to his sister-in-law?

With her, he was downright fierce!

If he didn’t recognize her, why utter such hurtful words? After all, she was also part of the Huo family. Didn’t he fear her stirring up trouble with his sister-in-law, refusing to help his mother?

Huo Sijiao stomped her foot hard, splashing water from the puddles.

The thuggish debt collectors in the alley all turned their gazes to her.

Huo Sijiao glared at them fiercely: "What are you staring at, haven’t you seen a beauty before!"

"Girl, what exactly is your relationship with Shen Xuanzhi? That kid has no money to pay his debts but has money to flirt. You look quite wealthy, why don’t you pay his debts? Otherwise, I’ll have to come here every week to press him; I have tasks assigned from above to complete."

Huo Sijiao was about to leave, but when she heard about repaying debts, she angrily asked, "How much does he owe you?"

"Two... no, three hundred thousand!"

Huo Sijiao scoffed at them, saying, "Where’s the IOU?"

"Hehe."

The thug pulled out a wallet from his pocket, inside which was decidedly Shen Xuanzhi’s signature on the IOU.

"Miss, this debt is from years ago, owed by his father, and he has to pay it off. We still want two hundred thousand, but..."

"Two hundred thousand is two hundred thousand, why claim it’s three hundred thousand! Do you think I look naive and easy to deceive?"

Huo Sijiao said impatiently, "Give me the IOU, and I’ll transfer the money to you."

"Deal!"

Each time they came to collect the debts was unpleasant, and they had long desired to settle this account. They hadn’t expected Shen Xuanzhi to have money for his mother’s treatment, pushing them to the next month.

Huo Sijiao transferred two hundred thousand to them and took back the IOU.

The debt collectors said, "We’re even! We won’t trouble that guy anymore."

Huo Sijiao put the IOU into her bag, looked at them, and with a flirtatious smile, she said, "We’re even? Not yet! I just saw you hitting him."

"What else do you want?"

Huo Sijiao exited the alley, pulling at her throat and shouting, "Police officer, there are thugs here trying to harass me! Help!"

"You... you..."

Upon hearing the shout, the patrolling police hurried over and immediately scowled upon seeing the group of people, "It’s you causing trouble again! Haven’t you had enough of detention last time?"

"It’s wrongful! We didn’t harass her!"

Huo Sijiao pretended to wipe her tears and said, "They threatened me. How could a young girl like me lie about such a thing?"

"Come with me to the station, and we’ll investigate this clearly."

With her eyes reddened, Huo Sijiao said, "Uncle policeman, may I not go? I don’t want to see them and I’m scared. If you need my help later on, I would like to bring my family along."

The policeman understood, as victims were usually allowed to avoid such situations temporarily. He left her with a number and told her to go home, saying they would summon her if needed.

"Thank you."

Holding an umbrella, Huo Sijiao headed to the shopping mall, preparing to call her family driver.

She took out a worn-looking IOU from her bag and examined it again; it indeed bore Shen Xuanzhi’s signature, which she had seen in the hospital when family members signed in.

200,000.

This amount was mere pocket change to her.

She wanted to tear up the IOU, but eventually, she hesitated and for some reason, put it back in her bag.

...

The next day.

The weather cleared after the rain.

The air was exceptionally fresh, and the humidity was relatively high. The sunlight poured down, not as scorching as before.

Qiao Xi got up very early.

Last night, Tang Chengde from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association had called her, saying she was to go to the television station today to record an interview for the next episode.

Traditional medicine had a long history and profound heritage, but it needed more promotion.

Qiao Xi had immediately agreed.

She got up and, together with Aunt Qian, practiced a set of Five Animal Frolics to nurture her health. When she returned to the dining room, she saw Huo Xingzhou sitting at the dining table, leisurely eating breakfast.

The man looked up at her gently, his deep eyes hiding a trace of darkness.

Qiao Xi pressed her lips tightly, remembering the delightful scenes from last night.

"Young Madam, practicing the Five Animal Frolics regularly really does relax the muscles and bones. I don’t even feel as tired from doing household chores," Aunt Qian said as she poured a glass of milk, smiling.

"Yes, it really does relax the muscles and strengthens the body," Qiao Xi said somewhat unnaturally.

That’s how she could handle a certain man.

Qiao Xi then sat opposite Huo Xingzhou, saying, "This morning I need to first go to the hospital to give acupuncture to Shen Xuanzhi’s mother. In the afternoon, I will be at Haicheng TV Station for an interview, and I’m not sure how long it will take. It might even last until evening."

"Mm, I’ll have Old Chen accompany you. If it gets too late, I’ll come to pick you up."

"Okay."

Qiao Xi nodded.

While eating breakfast, she kept looking at his handsome face.

Quite appetizing.

After breakfast.

Qiao Xi and Old Chen headed straight to the hospital. Along the way, she called Huo Sijiao, but no one answered.

She wondered if Huo Sijiao would still go to the hospital today.

The car soon stopped at the hospital entrance, and Qiao Xi headed directly to room 1805.

Shen Xuanzhi was sitting by the bedside, his handsome face bruised in blue and purple patches.

Surprise flickered in Qiao Xi’s eyes, but she asked no further and walked to the bedside. As usual, she took out her needle pack and spread it out.

Shen Xuanzhi’s gaze slowly moved back from the doorway.

His eyes gleamed.
