    Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Did Your Husband Give You Immortal Pills?


    The nurse heard the bell ring and hurried into the room to deal with the problem, wiping all the pollen off Xiang Huai’s face.


    A simple allergy treatment was performed, and Xiang Huai finally stopped his difort.


    His fingers trembling, he pointed at Huo Xingzhou and used the nurse, “It was him, he’s trying to harm me! He brought these flowers on purpose. I’m going to call the police!”


    Huo Xingzhou stood elegantly and nobly to one side, enveloped in an air of grace and prestige.


    The nurse was in a dilemma.


    “Could this be a misunderstanding?” Both men looked distinguished, Huo Xingzhou’s handsome face even more bewitching. He seemed like a very proper and steady person.


    Xiang Huai emphasized, “I’m calling the police.”


    Huo Xingzhou’s eyes glinted, his gaze nearly indifferent, “Wasn’t it you who insisted on smelling the scent of flowers and ended up like this? Go ahead and call the police if you like. Anyway… you have no evidence.”


    He said nonchntly.


    The hospital room had no surveince.


    Xiang Huai’s cheeks turned from pale to flushed with anger, nearly driven to death by rage.


    No evidence!


    Huo Xingzhou was determined to throw those words back at him each time, making him suffer in silence!


    How triumphant he had been when he had Wang Langmit arson, and now, how disgraceful!


    “You… you…” Xiang Huai’s blood surged in anger, taking quite a while to calm down.


    Huo Xingzhou spoke indifferently, “I’lle to see you next time.”


    As he slowly left, Xiang Huai was still telling the nurse how Doctor Qiao had given him injections, insisting that she wanted to kill him.


    The young nurse, puzzled, said, “That’s impossible. Doctor Qiao is known for herpassionate heart; how could she possibly hurt anyone? If she really gave you injections, you should be overjoyed, as many people are queuing without ess to her skills.”


    Cheng Clinic had closed due to the fire, and Doctor Qiao hadn’t returned to work at Hai City Hospital.


    Many patients were left without help.


    The arsonist was indeed cruel and heartless, deserving a fate without offspring for his actions.


    Xiang Huai’splexion flushed with anger as she spoke, growing even more infuriated.


    They must have been charmed by some country bumpkin, all protecting her like this!


    …


    On the other side of the hospital,


    Qiao Xi walked past the nurse’s station, learning from the duty nurse that Shu Xue had gone to the outpatient clinic. She crossed the bridge connecting the two buildings and saw Shu Xue sneaking around a corner at the entrance of the gynecology department.


    Qiao Xi approached with a smile on her face and patted Shu Xue gently on the shoulder.


    Shu Xue jumped with fright but rxed after turning around and seeing Qiao Xi, “You scared me to death.”


    “What improper things are you doing hiding here? I was just at the nurse’s station, and they told me you were not there,” said Qiao Xi, herplexion radiant, her cheeks rosy.


    Her eyes and face were free of any gloom, making her as bright and warm as the March sunshine, with confidence residing deep within her eyes.


    Shu Xue widened her eyes and gave her a thorough look, then said, “Why do I feel like you’ve got a filter on you, glowing all over? You’ve gotten a lot prettier. Did your husband pamper you, or did he give you the ‘Immortal Pill’?”


    Qiao Xi red at her, “Don’t be nonsensical.”


    Shu Xueughed heartily, “If I were too serious, you wouldn’t be able to handle Huo Xingzhou. Were my suggestions of ying beauty or suffering tricks useful? Was it a tumultuous night of smoke and fire, and did your ‘battle gown’ hold up?”


    Not really.


    Mr. Huo might seem abstinent and cold, but he’s very active in bed.


    Those kinds of skirts are made of very light fabric, easily tearing and bing misshapen.


    Another ck chiffon skirt was ruinedst night.


    “Stop reminiscing,” Shu Xue teased, “I can tell from your expression that you are more than satisfied.”


    Qiao Xi pretended to be annoyed and pped her lightly, “Let’s drop it. What were you just looking at?”


    Shu Xue pulled her hand back and pointed with a pout, “Look over there.”


    Qiao Xi followed her gaze and saw a woman, d in luxurious and well-maintained designer clothes, walking out of the gynecology department. She was holding a document and was also protectively holding her abdomen.


    At first nce, she looked somewhat familiar.


    On closer inspection, wasn’t she the woman who had pped her at the mallst time?


    “Why are you staring at her?” Qiao Xi didn’t understand Shu Xue’s behavior.


    Shu Xue coughed lightly and said, “Do you know who she is?”


    Qiao Xi shook her head.


    “She’s Xu Guangyao’s mistress!”


    Shu Xue gossiped, her expression exaggerated.


    Qiao Xi was shocked, murmuring, “Really?”


    Even though she hadn’t been married into the Huo Family for long, she had heard countless times about Liu Huimin and Xu Guangyao’s deep affection, famed as a model couple in Haicheng’s high society.


    Xu Guangyao was schrly and charming, and with Liu Huimin, they had one daughter and two sons, living harmoniously.


    There was no shortage of praise for him.


    Could such a man actually have a mistress?


    “Are you sure about your information? If he had a mistress, how could the Liu Family let him off?” Qiao Xi’s first reaction was that Shu Xue had made a mistake.


    Perhaps this woman was just someone Xu Guangyao knew, and there had been a misunderstanding.


    “I’m not mistaken! I saw them hugging and being intimate myself, they even had a car… oh my.”


    She and Zhou Yu had watched for a while, wanting to confirm their suspicions.


    Finally, they were convinced that this woman was indeed Xu Guangyao’s mistress.


    Shu Xue noticed her disapproving expression and emphasized, “I really saw it! Yesterday, under the building in Biyuan Residential Area! I saw Xu Guangyao being very cautious, but there are no secrets in this world. No matter how secretive he was, I still saw him!”


    She scoffed and said, “I think that woman is pregnant! But it seems like Xu Xingluo is quite familiar with her, do you think a daughter would really cover up her father’s affair? Maybe for the sake of maintaining the image in the upper-ss circles, Xu Xingluo might really do so.”


    Qiao Xi was astonished.


    She had always felt Xu Guangyao was hypocritical but had never imagined hecked even this basic virtue.


    His devotion to his wife was just a facade.


    Behind the scenes, he was involved with a mistress.


    “This circle is really messy,” Shu Xue thought of the shameless Zhou Yu and said fiercely, “Men are no good!”


    Qiao Xi weakly countered, “Mr. Huo is an exception.”


    Shu Xue lifted her eyelids in displeasure and said, “I knew you’d defend him, you two really have a good rtionship. I suppose he can be considered decent.”


    Qiao Xiughed, then suddenly remembered something, “I recall that you don’t live in Biyuan, why did you go there sote at night?”


    “I…”


    Shu Xue vaguely made up an excuse, “I went to y games with a friend.”


    Qiao Xi grew more curious, wondering what kind of game would make someone go so far at night after a day of work.


    It must be a verypelling game.


    “What game was it? Can you tell me more about it?” Qiao Xi asked further.


    Without thinking, Shu Xue blurted out, “Two-yer Tetris.”


    The little blocks stacking up, slotting into gaps.


    Stacking, eliminating.


    The skilled can y all night without a game over.


    Qiao Xi furrowed her brows in confusion, unable to understand.


    Was this kind of game really worth going out in the middle of the night?


    Concerned, she looked at Shu Xue and asked, “Has your work been particrly stressfultely?”
