Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 170 - 170 The Profligate Son
Chapter 170: Chapter 170: The Profligate Son! Chapter 170 -170: The Profligate Son! Clang!
The consultation room door was pushed open by Huo Sijiao, and Qiao Xi took the opportunity to withdraw her wrist.
“How dare you, Xu Yunye, taking advantage of seeing the doctor to seduce my sister-in-law! I’ll beat you to death, you scoundrel!” She grabbed the broom that was in the corner and struck Xu Yunye viciously with it.
“I’ll beat you to death!”
“You dog, you dare to covet my sister-in-law! How dare you try to steal my brother’s woman, when you can’t even compare to him?”
Huo Sijiao was fierce and knocked Xu Yunye to the ground. He was already injured, and now he looked even more pathetic, his usually sleek hair now a tangled mess, no longer resembling the dignified son of a noble family.
“Jiaojiao, stop hitting him!”
Qiao Xi hugged Huo Sijiao, “Stop it, we don’t want any trouble over this, it’s not worth it!”
Xu Yunye kept crying out in pain, and sat on the ground holding his injured arm. He said shamelessly, “I sustained internal injuries from the beating, and you must take responsibility for it.”
He couldn’t explain why he insisted on her treatment, but he felt an inexplicable sense of security being near her.
“You… you’re shameless!” Huo Sijiao’s cheeks puffed up with anger as she retorted, “I didn’t even use full strength!”
Xu Yunye snorted, “You said you would beat me to death. Look at these red marks on my arm.” He rolled up his sleeve, and the pale skin made the red welts stand out even more.
“But that doesn’t mean you caused internal injuries,” Huo Sijiao said, feeling guilty and annoyed at the same time.
Xu Yunye swept his gaze around and said, “Then let’s call the police and see what they have to say. I only have one demand—I want treatment.”
“Impossible! You fox spirit, you just want to seduce my sister-in-law!” Huo Sijiao would never allow such a thing to happen, “Go ahead, call the police. I’ll see it through to the end.”
She absolutely couldn’t leave a ticking time bomb by her sister-in-law’s side.
“I’m seducing her? I…” Xu Yunye complained, “I just wanted to remind her that Xu Xingluo is very obsessive. She has to have whatever she wants, and those who offend her never end well. I hope Doctor Qiao can find a different husband to stay away from danger.”
He meant well!
How did he become a male fox spirit?
“Hmph,” Huo Sijiao huffed, “My sister-in-law and brother won’t get a divorce, and Xu Xingluo won’t be able to break them up.”
Xu Yunye shrugged, “Hopefully that’s the case.”
He did not believe that Xu Xingluo could let go easily. Every time she caused trouble, the Xu Family and the Liu Family would clean up her messes.
Huo Sijiao lightly kicked his leg, “Get up!”
“Ouch, my leg is broken, I can’t walk.”
“If you insist on making me leave, let’s have the police come and judge. I came here as a patient, and you guys beat me up. Is there no justice?”
Xu Yunye spread his hands and lay down on the floor. He looked like he wouldn’t respond to anyone unless they agreed to his demands; otherwise, he would not leave.
Calling the police would greatly affect the reputation of the clinic.
Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said, “Fine, I’ll treat you. Your injury is in the bone; acupuncture can promote local blood circulation and control the pain! But this is just an auxiliary treatment method, you need to take good care of yourself.”
Xu Yunye said, “As long as it works.”
Huo Sijiao scoffed, “Wasting medical resources—you know how many people are in line outside waiting for my sister-in-law to treat them?”
Without paying attention to their bickering, Qiao Xi turned to Wang Lang and said, “Register him. He’ll come over for acupuncture starting tomorrow. Old patients don’t need to re-schedule or take a new number.”
Wang Lang nodded and helped Xu Yunye up to register.
Watching the commotion, Sun Weimeng gave Xu Yunye a thumbs-up. He hadn’t expected to find someone in Haicheng who was even more shameless and brazen than himself.
Impressive!
After dark,
Qiao Xi closed the clinic.
Huo Sijiao was responsible for driving Qiao Xi home.
“Sister-in-law, Aunt Qian has prepared a celebratory banquet for you. Tonight, let’s all gather as a family.” The clinic isn’t having a grand opening ceremony, but we should still celebrate among ourselves.
Qiao Xi sank into the passenger seat’s cushion, tiredly saying, “To trouble Aunt Qian again.”
“Aunt Qian is happy to do it.” Huo Sijiao then tentatively asked, “Sister-in-law, what do you think of Xu Yunye? He and Xu Xingluo are twins, siblings born of the same mother.”
After thinking for a moment, Qiao Xi said, “I don’t have any particular thoughts, he’s just a patient.”
“Sister-in-law! You need to be on your guard, Xu Yunye must have ulterior motives, and his intentions aren’t pure. I think he’s being instigated by Xu Xingluo, trying to destroy what you’ve worked for.”
Qiao Xi slightly furrowed her brows; in fact, she hadn’t perceived any malice from Xu Yunye.
But Huo Sijiao’s suggestion wasn’t without reason, hence she said, “Once the scars you caused on him are healed, I’ll find a reason to make him leave. It’s true that his injuries don’t need to take up the clinic’s resources.”
“Deal! I’ll come to the clinic to keep an eye on him whenever I’m free.”
Huo Sijiao secretly resolved to keep a close watch on Xu Yunye, blaming herself for being too impulsive and giving him an opportunity to exploit.
The car drove all the way to the small villa.
The villa was lit up like daylight inside.
When Qiao Xi and Huo Sijiao arrived, Du Juan and Aunt Qian both came out to greet them.
Du Juan thoughtfully took Qiao Xi’s bag and said, “Tired, aren’t you? I heard the clinic was very busy today, are you short on staff? I’ll ask a friend to find you a few more experienced apprentices.”
“Okay, thank you, Mother-in-law.”
Qiao Xi didn’t refuse her kindness, as today was indeed hectic. They couldn’t keep calling on Huo Sijiao and Sun Weimeng to help every day, after all.
Her gaze swept over to Huo Jiancheng sitting in the living room, and she licked her lips and called out politely, “Father-in-law.”
“Hmm.”
Huo Jiancheng responded with a grunt, showing no signs that they ever had an unpleasant conversation.
“Hurry up and wash your face, it’s time for dinner. Jiaojiao, go to the study and call your brother down.”
“Right away.”

Aunt Qian was busy bringing dishes from the kitchen to the dining table. Seeing this, Qiao Xi said, “Aunt Qian, let me help you.”
She followed Aunt Qian, placing each dish on the dining table. Huo Sijiao and Huo Xingzhou also came down from upstairs, and the whole family cheerfully sat around the dining table.
Du Juan poured everyone a glass of red wine and said, “Let’s toast to the thriving success of Qiao Xi’s career.”
“Cheers!”
Qiao Xi took a sip of the red wine and said, “Thank you all! And thank you, Aunt Qian, for preparing such a wonderful meal for us!”
She turned to the man sitting beside her with a cold, proud look in his eyes and said, “I’m especially grateful to Mr. Huo, without you there would be no clinic.”
She drained her glass of red wine in one gulp.
She was thankful to him for founding the Xingyue Foundation, which allowed her to attend college smoothly.
She was thankful to him for helping her open her own clinic, fulfilling her life’s dream.
He really was like Aladdin’s lamp from the fairy tales, fulfilling her wishes at every turn.
Huo Xingzhou’s lips curved slightly downward, stained with the deep red wine, his voice a bit deep as he said, “I wish you everything your heart desires.”
Across the dim light of the dining table, Qiao Xi and he exchanged a smile.
“Cough cough…” Huo Jiancheng’s ill-timed cough interrupted, “Xingzhou, after we eat, let’s talk in the study. I have something I want to discuss with you.”
“Okay.”
The relationship between father and son had always been good; Huo Xingzhou knew his father wasn’t skilled in business, so he took on the family enterprise early on.
Qiao Xi pressed her lips together, giving Huo Jiancheng a glance.
She still felt uneasy inside.
