Chapter 560: Chapter 560: Qiao Xi, come to the Zhong Family tomorrow Chapter 560: Chapter 560: Qiao Xi, come to the Zhong Family tomorrow “Hello.”

Qiao Xi’s tone was calm.

Recently, she dared not miss any calls that came in.

Especially from these unfamiliar numbers, she was afraid that it might be Cheng Han calling. If he encountered any danger and she missed his call, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

The Imperial Capital was so vast that they didn’t dare to search extensively before they had established a firm footing.

“Hello, may I ask who’s speaking?” Qiao Xi asked again.

“Huang Bingyi.”

The caller was concise and reported his household.

“Mr. Huang, hello.” Qiao Xi’s eyes flashed with surprise, and her tone became much more respectful.

“This is my number. Starting tomorrow, come to my residence to begin learning the basics of the Gold Needle Technique. I’ll continue to treat your hand for another two days,” Huang Bingyi said indifferently, as if it were all business.

As the respected elder had spoken, Qiao Xi quickly replied, “Okay, I’ll follow your arrangements. May I know where you are currently residing?”

“I will send you the address later.”

“Yes.”

Huang Bingyi ended the call directly.

Qiao Xi slowly exhaled, feeling some pressure.

Soon, a text message with a long address arrived on her phone, with the words “Zhong Family” being the most conspicuous.

Zhong family’s old residence.

Old Chen saw it and said, “I heard that Mr. Huang and the Old Master of Zhong Family are close friends. He is also providing medical treatment for the Old Master. Since his youth, his residence in the Imperial Capital has been at the Zhong family’s old residence. Are you going to the Zhong family to study tomorrow, Young Madam?”

That was the Zhong family. If true problems did occur, they would have no way to interfere.

“That should be the case.”

Qiao Xi said softly.

Huo Xingzhou gently wrapped his arms around her shoulders and said, “Tomorrow I’ll accompany you there to familiarize with the place.”

“Okay.”

While they were talking, a man in a dark grey casual outfit with a tall figure, who moved neither too hurriedly nor too slowly, appeared at the entrance of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce.

As he approached, a cool and unique sandalwood scent could be detected.

This was Qiao Xi’s first time seeing Xie Xubai, who was completely different from the businessman she had imagined. Instead, he had an air of nobility and righteousness about him.

“President Huo, Doctor Qiao.”

Xie Xubai paused his steps and greeted them.

With just this greeting, he easily captured others’ goodwill. Qiao Xi finally understood why Huo Xingzhou had such a high opinion of him.

He did not call her “Young Madam Huo” but “Doctor Qiao”.

“Hello.”

Qiao Xi carefully uttered a greeting.

Xie Xubai nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth bearing a faint, light smile as he looked at Huo Xingzhou.

“President Huo is really astute, using the teetering 5% shares of Xiang Group to exchange for 5% of the Xie Group’s shares. Even if I take over Xiang Group later, it’s still a win for you.”

Huo Xingzhou unabashedly retorted: “You didn’t lose out either. That critical 5% of the shares will allow the Xie family to take the upper hand in this struggle that has lasted for years!

In the recent stock price turmoil of the Xiang family, you’ve also reaped quite a few benefits. The most stable way for us to cooperate isn’t through marriage but by me becoming a shareholder of Xie Group. What do you think?”

“Xie Xubai, it’s the Xie family that wants the position among the Four Great Families.”

Xie Xubai handed over the documents he was holding, “If I didn’t agree, I wouldn’t have come here. President Huo is an impressive figure, I’ll need to be more cautious in the future. Have you really not considered making me a member of your family?”

Huo Xingzhou smiled ambiguously: “My sister’s marriage is for her to decide. President Xie is capable, and you can certainly try your hand.”

The two men exchanged a smile.

They completed the business right there at the Bureau of Industry and Commerce.

In the information age, efficiency is very high, and many messages are updated and publicized very quickly.

At noon, the stockholder page of the Xiang Group’s company was refreshed!

At this time.

The Xiang siblings had already rushed to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Imperial Capital People’s Hospital.

Several experts were conducting a physical examination on Xiang Hai in the ward, ensuring he had indeed regained consciousness before they stepped out to the siblings waiting in the corridor.

“He has passed the dangerous period for now, but he needs to rest and recuperate well. High blood pressure is a serious condition that can lead to other complications. Mr. Xiang has suffered successive blows and cannot afford to be stimulated any further. All family members must take good care of his emotions… Do not let him worry or get agitated, and certainly do not allow him to get angry easily.”

“Okay, thank you, doctor.”

“Thank you so much, doctor. We appreciate your help.”

After the doctor left, Xiang Tao took Xiang Mingzhu’s hand and said, “Don’t mention the change in shares for now, don’t upset father. Let him recuperate for a few more days, and then he will understand.”

“Yes.”

Xiang Mingzhu nodded eagerly.

She was afraid that her father could be angered to death by her, and even more afraid that he would punish her.

“But big brother, on the day of the Gold Needle Technique conference, I was taken away in public, and Lu Yingxue’s allergic reaction cannot be hidden. Do I really have to admit to my father that it was all my doing?”

“You… You wanted to marry Zhong Yi for the sake of our Xiang family, but you didn’t expect to be tricked by others.”

After hesitating for a while, Xiang Tao looked at Xiang Mingzhu with a headache and said, “Why don’t you just wait outside, and I’ll go in and check on father’s condition.”

“Okay, I’ll wait outside. You go in first, big brother. If there’s any commotion, I’ll come in.”

Xiang Mingzhu was extremely scared inside and still dared not face reality.

She had the courage to hate Lu Yingxue, but not the courage to admit her wrongdoings in front of Xiang Hai.

“I’ll go in first.”

Xiang Tao looked at her with concern and reminded her, “Don’t make a sound, I will call you if anything happens.”

Having said that.

He gently pushed open the door of the ward and stepped in with light footsteps.

Xiang Mingzhu secretly observed the situation inside through the ward’s glass window, hoping that Xiang Hai would recover and take control.

Only then could she strut around the Imperial Capital with the identity of the young miss of the Xiang family.

She didn’t want to be stepped on by Lu Yingxue for the rest of her life!

Not at all!

Thinking about how she had been manipulated to play a supporting role for Lu Yingxue for the first half of her life, Xiang Mingzhu’s self-awareness awakened!

She loathed Lu Yingxue, hated Lu Bannong!

And even somewhat resented Xiang Hai, who allowed everything to happen for the sake of profits!

After all, she was the young lady of one of the Four Great Families in the Imperial Capital; her status was higher than that of Lu Yingxue, so why did Lu Yingxue live so comfortably!

She had all the good luck and even stole the man she loved!

If Lu Yingxue were truly a good sister, she should have offered to give up the marriage for her!

Xiang Mingzhu’s heart was full of filth, her head harboring extreme thoughts!

In the ward.

Xiang Tao walked to the bedside, seeing his father, whose temples had turned white and aged in just a short time, and his eyes reddened.

“Father,” he called out.

Xiang Hai lay on the hospital bed with uneven breathing, struggling to sit up. Xiang Tao quickly adjusted the pillow behind him, helped him get comfortable, and poured him a cup of warm water.

Xiang Hai seemed more at ease and croakily asked, “How has the company been during these days I’ve been unconscious?”

“Quite good, everything is normal,” Xiang Tao replied with downcast eyes, not daring to meet his gaze, “The news of your coma and resuscitation was kept under wraps. Our family is in the medical field, we can manage these things well.”

Xiang Hai relaxed a little, feeling somewhat relieved.

Buzz buzz buzz.

The mobile phone on the bedside table began vibrating.

With a hoarse voice, he said, “Bring me the phone.”
