Chapter 528: Chapter 517: Qiao Jing Makes a Huge Fool of Himself

Zhan Qipei opened the door to the hospital room and faced four people sitting in the corridor on chairs.

Xu Moqian, seeing Zhan Qipei come out, nonchalantly propped up his leg and his face was filled with disdain.

“Yo, were you kicked out by Sister Jing?”

As he said this, he deliberately glanced at Lu Zijin.

“It seems that even family members can’t stay.”

Lu Zijin smiled helplessly and shook his head.

“I need to get back to work, you guys talk.”

Now that Qiao Jing was fine, he had to return to work as well.

Actually, he just didn’t want to get too involved in Qiao Jing’s love life.

Lu Zijiao, seeing his brother about to leave, immediately followed.

“I’ll be going too.”

He didn’t want to stay and watch a battlefield, nor did he want to see scenes of jealousy and envy.

In the end, it was always the single ones who got hurt the most.

He was the most severely hurt of them all. He thought both he and Zhan Qipei were single, considering Qiao Jing hadn’t fully accepted Zhan Qipei.

Turns out Zhan Qipei was only single on the surface, secretly he already had a child!

After the Lu brothers left, only Zhan Qipei, Xu Moqian, and Zhan Nanqing remained in the corridor.

The corridor fell into a kind of eerie atmosphere.

Zhan Nanqing suddenly realized something and widened her eyes at Xu Moqian.

“Xu Moqian! How did you get here?!”

When Qiao Jing fainted, Xu Moqian wasn’t at the research institute at all, let alone likely to know about Qiao Jing’s fainting.

Yet now Xu Moqian not only knew about it but also which hospital room Qiao Jing was in?

Xu Moqian, seeing both Zhan siblings opposing him, turned hostile.

“My grandfather asked me to come and see Sister Jing, am I not allowed to come?”

Hearing Xu Moqian’s words, Zhan Nanqing was instantly stunned.

“Elder Xu? How did he know about Qiao Jing fainting?”

She had made sure the ambulance turned off its siren and took a back entrance — how had they been discovered?

She thought she had covered it up well, yet it had still been found out??

Xu Moqian folded his arms with a look of disgust curling the corner of his mouth.

“Grandpa saw the spilled food on the ground and thought it was strange, so he checked the surveillance.”

Having said this, he stood up, ready to walk into the hospital room.

Zhan Qipei blocked the entrance to the hospital room without expression, his icy gaze fixed on Xu Moqian as he said coldly,

“She needs to rest, you go back.”

Although the marks on Qiao Jing’s neck had not yet been seen by Xu Moqian, he couldn’t let anyone other than himself enter the hospital room.

Xu Moqian clenched his fists, glaring at Zhan Qipei with a venomous look, and spoke deliberately slowly.

“Zhan Qipei, why are you so petty? Can’t I even visit Sister Jing?”

Every time he had a chance, Zhan Qipei would interrupt him.

Could it really be that he was fated not to be with Qiao Jing?!

Zhan Qipei slightly squinted his dark eyes, and his sharp gaze contained a chill.

“Do you need me to spell out what you’re really thinking?”

He was well aware of what these rivals in love were thinking because Qiao Jing was too outstanding, all these men had ulterior motives towards her.

But only he was Qiao Jing’s legitimate man.

Xu Moqian felt strangely as if Zhan Qipei could see right through him with that penetrating stare.

He definitely still liked Sister Jing — after all, who wouldn’t like someone as outstanding and beautiful as her?

Besides, he had liked her since college. How could he just give up, especially with Grandpa also helping out?

So he wanted to try again, only to meet a strong rival, Zhan Qipei.

Zhan Nanqing pursed her lips and sat down on the chair to watch the drama unfold.

Just then, the door of the hospital room behind Zhan Qipei opened.

Qiao Jing stepped out, holding a thermos, the IV needle removed from the back of her hand.

“Nanqing, take the thermos back with you, I’ve finished with the fluids too.”

After she finished speaking, she noticed that everyone present had fallen into an odd silence.

“What’s wrong?”

Zhan Nanqing’s gaze flickered with the light of gossip, tinged with a hint of petty jealousy, as she stared non-stop at Qiao Jing’s neck.

What could her brother and Qiao Jing have been doing in the hospital room?

Zhan Nanqing immediately coughed a few times, trying to signal to Qiao Jing.

“Cough, cough… COUGH COUGH COUGH!!”

Xu Moqian was frozen in place at this moment, his stare fixed on Qiao Jing, visibly shocked.

“Jing… Sister Jing…”

When Qiao Jing felt their strange looks, she furrowed her brows, following their gaze.

The next second, she saw the loose hospital gown she was wearing failed to cover the conspicuous mark on her neck.

That dog of a man Zhan Qipei had deliberately left it in a visible place to make sure others saw it!

Qiao Jing’s face stiffened for a moment before returning to normal, calmly pulling up the collar to cover the mark.

“I’m preparing to be discharged.”

Right now, she couldn’t stand to see Zhan Qipei for even a second more, first nearly being discovered by Grandpa Xu, and now that Zhan Nanqing and Xu Moqian had seen the mark on her.

This dog of a man was being too deliberate!

An expression like thunder on a sunny day crossed Xu Moqian’s face, his eyeballs nearly popping out.

“Sister Jing… you two…”

What on earth were Zhan Qipei and Sister Jing doing in the hospital room while he and the others were outside?!

Why did he have to see this?

His feeble heart suffered immense damage!!

Qiao Jing pressed her lips together and glanced at the culprit Zhan Qipei, then explained:

“Don’t overthink it, I’m going to handle the discharge procedures.”

Zhan Qipei, who had been enjoying Xu Moqian’s shocked expression, followed Qiao Jing’s words immediately and kept pace with her.

“Stay in the hospital to rest today, and be discharged tomorrow; how does that sound?”

Qiao Jing rolled her eyes silently, quickening her pace.

“I’ll rest at home after getting discharged.”

She didn’t want to stay in the hospital room any longer, or more and more visitors would come.

The hospital gown she was wearing couldn’t cover the mark under normal conditions; Zhan Qipei had left it very high up, where the collar couldn’t completely hide it.

If other visitors were to come, wouldn’t they all see this mark?

Zhan Qipei quickly followed Qiao Jing, accompanying her to handle the discharge paperwork.

They left Zhan Nanqing and the still-stunned Xu Moqian behind in the corridor.

Zhan Nanqing actually felt a bit sour inside; she felt like a lemon spirit.

She had been fed dog food over and over again.

However…

Zhan Nanqing’s eyes fell on the nearby Xu Moqian, feeling a bit sorry for him for the first time.

Xu Moqian was far more miserable than she was.

But she was not such an easy person; she intended to twist the knife.

Who asked Xu Moqian to always enjoy bickering with her.

“Xu Moqian, you might as well give up early, Qiao Jing is with our Zhan Family,” Zhan Nanqing said.

Xu Moqian, coming to his senses, glared at Zhan Nanqing, irritated.

“If you speak less, no one would consider you mute!”

He could handle being hurt, but Zhan Nanqing just had to twist the knife.

It seems that the Zhan Family members were all no good!
