Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Qiao Xi, I Wait for You to Amaze Everyone

"Shu Xue, don’t say such hurtful things."

Zhou Yu’s greatest fear in life was having his genuine feelings betrayed again, which is why he surrounded himself with superficial relationships. He had already decided to marry her.

Now, just because she found out about his past with Xie Liuzheng, she wanted to break up.

"Shu Xue, don’t you have a past too? You also had your first love. After all these years, you shouldn’t be getting mysteriously jealous."

Shu Xue stood up and pushed him away.

"Zhou Yu, I am jealous! But I’m even more scared!"

"What are you scared of? Xie Liuzheng and I will never get back together!"

Shu Xue looked at him and said very seriously, "I’m scared that after our passion fades, you’ll compare me to Xie Liuzheng and think that I’m inferior in every way! You, who used to love me, might find even looking at me repulsive! You’ll grow to dislike me!"

"I’m scared that I’ll end up with nothing, begging for your love every day!"

Xie Liuzheng will keep getting better.

And she, Shu Xue, would rot in mundane minutiae, lacking a strong inner spirit.

Zhou Yu wanted to speak, but Shu Xue interrupted him.

"Zhou Yu, I don’t want to argue with you today. My parents would worry if they see us like this. You should go back for now."

She appeared unwilling to talk, leaving Zhou Yu with no options.

"Fine, I’ll go back first. Whenever you clear your mind, call me. I’ll sell the Biyuan house. I hope you’ll go with me to choose another apartment for us to get married in."

Zhou Yu truly seemed sincere.

Shu Xue remained silent and didn’t respond.

Soon, Zhou Yu left the room. Shu Xue sat down powerlessly in front of the vanity, looking at her plain, haggard reflection in the mirror, and she scoffed at herself.

A marriage apartment?

She didn’t even have the courage to get married anymore.

The phone on the side kept ringing with "ding dongs." Irritated, Shu Xue picked up her phone and swiped the screen.

It was a work group chat from Hai City Hospital.

Inside, a heated discussion was ongoing.

Shu Xue immediately spotted the crucial information about forming a medical team.

The group chat messages kept refreshing.

"This Aid Africa medical team is highly valued by the higher-ups, but they will strictly follow voluntary sign-up, not forcing anyone."

"Africa? That place is extremely tough and also dangerous."

"Starting at half a year is indeed a long time. I wonder if I can come back in one piece. As a woman with a family, I better not."

Shu Xue felt a thought surge uncontrollably within her.

She flipped the phone face down on the table, her hand on her chest, trying to suppress this thought, but her heart thumped vigorously.

Reminding her that she is a living being, with every right to pursue everything.

Shu Xue set her phone to silent and slowly lay down on her bed. She could hear Zhou Yu exchanging pleasantries with her parents outside.

Then, the sound of the door closing indicated Zhou Yu had likely left.

The night slowly deepened.

Shu Xue tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, her mind incredibly active.

...

The next day.

Municipal People’s Hospital of Haicheng City.

Doctor Qiao arrived at the nurse’s station with a thermal container, but she couldn’t find Shu Xue anywhere.

Shu Xue was supposed to be on duty this Sunday. As nurses, they usually had a hard time.

A kind-hearted nurse advised, "Doctor Qiao, Shu Xue is in the head nurse’s office. You can wait here for a while."

"Okay."

Doctor Qiao waited quite a while before she saw Shu Xue, who was holding a form.

Upon seeing her, Shu Xue retracted her hand slightly.

Doctor Qiao asked curiously, "What’s so secretive? This is a seafood porridge Aunt Qian specially simmered for you. It’s refreshing and appetizing."

Shu Xue hid the form under the nurse’s station medical records before saying, "Aunt Qian’s skills are definitely top-notch!"

Qiao Xi carefully observed her expression and noticed her eyelids were slightly swollen, a clear sign of lack of sleep.

She watched as Shu Xue opened the lid of the insulated container and began to eat, bite after bite, and asked, "How are things with Mr. Zhou?"

Shu Xue, without looking up from her food, muttered ambiguously, "Just like that. We’ve been on and off. He even came to my house yesterday to apologize."

Qiao Xi thought she had calmed down and said, "That’s good then."

Shu Xue glanced at her and asked, "You’re dressed so nicely, do you have a social engagement?"

Qiao Xi nodded.

"Tonight, the Liu Family has a banquet inviting the Huo Family, it’s basically my initiation banquet. The next round of the Acupuncture Conference will start soon. I’ll head to the Imperial Capital a week earlier. The once-in-a-decade grand event of traditional Chinese medicine lasts quite long, I might even spend the New Year there..."

She was still a bit reluctant to leave Shu Xue.

Without much context, Shu Xue said, "Then I won’t feel sorry. If we can’t spend this New Year together, we can spend the next."

"Alright, we’ll spend next year together."

"Qiao Xi, let me tell you. Don’t be so proud and aloof, just accept whatever the Liu Family offers you. It’s foolish not to take advantage when it’s available. Why should Xu Xingluo enjoy years of luxury while you, the real heiress, keep your distance from them?"

Shu Xue said this sternly, purposely admonishing her.

That made Qiao Xi laugh.

"Alright, I’ll definitely take advantage!"

Shu Xue tried to squeeze out a smile and steadied her trembling voice, "I’ll be waiting for your performance at the Acupuncture Conference, to dazzle everyone!"

"Uh-huh!"

Qiao Xi was left with only one choice, she had to win!

Shu Xue finished the seafood porridge, "This taste, it’s already etched in my brain, I’ll always remember it."

"Alright, come to my house if you want to drink it. Aunt Qian likes you guys the most."

Qiao Xi, carrying the empty insulated container, waved her hand and said, "I’m going to see Doctor Yan."

"Go on then."

Shu Xue feigned ease as she spoke.

After Qiao Xi left, she pulled out the application form for the Aid Africa Medical Team from under the medical records.

A young nurse by her side leaned over and asked, "Sister Shu Xue, are you really going to sign up? Conditions in Africa are harsh, and there are many infectious diseases and low safety."

Tears welled up in Shu Xue’s eyes, "One has to live for oneself at least once. I became a nurse because my family arranged it, but I’ve suddenly found I actually like this job."

"But will your parents agree? The application form needs their signatures, and I remember you’re an only child."

Shu Xue held the blank application form and said, "I’ll try. Besides, submitting the form is just the beginning; they still have to select me, and it’s not guaranteed."

The young nurse gave her a thumbs up, "I admire you just for the courage to sign up!"

Shu Xue smiled and said, "Don’t mention this to Doctor Qiao, keep it a secret for me. In case I’m not selected, let her not worry unnecessarily."

"Okay!"

The young nurse wrote in the nursing journal and responded with a smile.

...

In the evening.

The Liu Family hosted an exclusive banquet at Fuchun Garden, with no outsiders to disturb. The whole antique Fuchun Garden was occupied only by their party in the east wing.

Famous chefs were invited to prepare their signature dishes.

All distinguished guests who came to Fuchun Garden were politely asked to leave, even the usually somewhat famous second-generation rich received notifications that they couldn’t dine tonight.

Some wealthy tycoons even questioned, "Who booked the whole venue? I’ll pay double!"

"The Liu Family."

"What celebratory event is the Liu Family holding? Why did they book Fuchun Garden?"

The elegantly dressed waitress replied very appropriately, "It’s a banquet set for the Liu Family’s daughter, it’s essentially a family banquet."

Wow!

Such grandeur for a family banquet; the Liu Family really knows how to put on a show.

It seems this Miss Liu is indeed highly valued.

This news spread among the circles of second-generation rich. Xu Xingluo, who was once considered a wealthy daughter, never received such treatment.
