Chapter 335
He Hong came, and everyone present quieted down.
"You are not allowed to come in!"
He Hong pushed the door open and heard Qiao Sixiao laugh angrily say to her,
"We agreed that you won't come to my house. This is my own place."
He Hong did not argue with this point, only standing at the doorway looking at her and speaking without any emotion:
"You also promised me that you would take care of your health."
Qiao Sixiao's gaze fell on the accompanying nurse, and her face was very unhappy.
That nurse also realized she had been discovered and hurriedly shoved her phone into her pocket.
But because she was too panic, the phone fell to the ground, the screen was on, displaying that it was in a call—
[Ms. He]
"Ms. He?"
Qiao Sixiao lowered her eyes, seeming to have considered something. Her anger was not as strong as before. Her tone softened a little,
"I'm not being irresponsible, I just don't want to be hospitalized, that's all."
He Hong looked at the doctor. The doctor swallowed and the pressure Qiao Sixiao had just exerted was already strong enough. She did not expect it to be even stronger now.
"Initial hospitalization treatment is a must. If you still choose to receive treatment from me, the biggest concession I can make is to let you go home and rest at night. Before the swelling goes down completely, you should stay in the hospital as much as possible."
He Hong glanced up at Qiao Sixiao, but Qiao Sixiao was zoning out, her eyes unconsciously looking towards the bedroom.
The door was closed.
"Is there a problem? Qiao Sixiao?"
He Hong followed her gaze over. She made a gesture that she was going to walk in.
"Nothing. Let's go to the hospital."
Qiao Sixiao stood up,
"Let's go now."
He Hong did not actually walk in, but she could command her company's employee:
"Xiao Wang, go take a look in the bedroom, see if someone is in there."
"Sis, let me go get clothes for you."
Xiao Wang found an excuse and turned towards the bedroom.
"I'll get them myself."
Qiao Sixiao stood up and walked to the bedroom door, pressing down on Xiao Wang's shoulder.
Xiao Wang's hand reaching for the door knob paused. She asked Qiao Sixiao in an almost whisper:
"Sis...what should I do? How do I bluff my way through this?"
"No one is here."
Qiao Sixiao denied it categorically. Her voice was not small. She turned her head and looked at He Hong, "I got a dog."
He Hong showed a rare expression of surprise:
"You got a dog?"
"What's the matter? Is it that strange? I got a dog in my own house. Do I have to notify you? Does it affect my work?"
Qiao Sixiao threw the questions back at her.
He Hong resumed her usual look, but she gave up as well. She looked at her watch and urged:
"Like I said, I won't bother no matter what. Hurry up and change. We have to leave after you change. I can't spend all my time on just you."
...
"It's been a whole day already. Why are you still unhappy."
Youyou was sitting on Shen Qingqing's sofa watching a movie, while Shen Qingqing sat on the floor staring blankly at the candies.
She had already happily treated Qin Wei to dinner after getting out of the hospital yesterday. The result was not only did Qin Wei not eat, she also asked Shen Qingqing for Qiao Sixiao's residence.
"I already said she's staying with me. But she only stayed one night before leaving...I was even gonna buy tickets to Dubai to take her to play....it's not hot there without the seas...but she went to find Teacher Qiao to play..."
Shen Qingqing listlessly draped herself on the table.
"So doesn't she not know where Qiao Sixiao lives, then she can't leave right?"
Youyou finished her sentence, then went to the fridge and took out a tub of ice cream to start eating.
"But she asked me...and I can't lie to her..."
It was possible to not say anything, but she also didn't like seeing that disappointed look on her face.
Shen Qingqing mumbled quietly, also looking at Youyou eating her snacks so happily, so she started feeling annoyed as well:
"That's your senior sister! Youyou! And you want me to lie to her? Do you even have a moral standard?"
"Can someone with a moral standard be friends with you?"
Youyou smiled and handed over the ice cream. It was rejected but she wasn't mad.
"Don't worry. This person doesn't give up easily on something once she starts, if you don't tell her, she can eliminate all impossibilities and try each one until she finally gets the right one."
That's true too.
Shen Qingqing thought for a bit, and could not help but sigh:
"How embarrassing would that be..."
Then she went back to draping herself on the table and muttering:
"Wonder what she's doing now..."
...
It was already nine o'clock by the time she got home.
Qiao Sixiao looked at her phone. It was already so late.
With the IV and the checkups, she had not have a moment of respite from early morning until now.
After it ended, she got Xiao Wang to drive her back.
"You go back."
As soon as the elevator doors open, Qiao Sixiao told Xiao Wang to stop and not to come in,
"By the way, when you come in the morning tomorrow, buy some food on your way here. Fruits and vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy. Fresh ones."
Xiao Wang nodded and took out her phone to note it down in her memos. Then she cautiously asked again in a small voice:
"Sis...we ate at the hospital these days, wouldn't it go bad...Oh oh right, the dog! Or should I buy dog food instead?"
Qiao Sixiao did not say anything. She just looked at her very calmly, very calmly. "Oh oh oh, buy meat, eggs and dairy. And fresh fruits and vegetables. Sis you rest early. I'll come get you tomorrow!"
Xiao Wang waited until the elevator doors closed before she let out a breath.
What to do what to do...Boss was angry just now. She was really angry...
Xiao Wang took out her phone, wanting to tap around to ask Li Liang if Teacher Qin needs an experienced assistant over there...
...
Qiao Sixiao pushed the door open. The house was pitch black inside and very quiet.
She looked at every room. They were all like this.
Did she leave?
Where could she go?
Qiao Sixiao took out her phone. If she really left, why didn't she say anything?
Qiao Sixiao felt a little annoyed. She was about to call when she heard slight sounds coming from the bedroom:
"Teacher Qiao?"
It was Qin Wei.
"Why didn't you turn on the lights?"
Qiao Sixiao said as she walked over to turn on the bedroom lights. Only then did she see Qin Wei silently sitting in the corner looking at her.
"Do you have a problem? Why didn't you turn on the lights? What are you doing here?"
Faced with Qiao Sixiao's three questions, Qin Wei blinked her eyes innocently:
"Didn't you tell your mom you have a dog at home? A dog left alone at home, could it turn on the lights itself? Does this make sense?"
Indeed, her thinking was quite careful.
Qiao Sixiao did not deny this point, but still felt Qin Wei was somewhat stupid. She petted Qin Wei's head like she was petting a little dog:
"I was just trying to get He Hong off my back. Don't actually put yourself in the role of a dog, okay?"
Qin Wei rolled her eyes at her.
"Foolish humans. Yunji Property Management has records of everyone going in and out of this estate. And each building also has three property managers and security guards. If you're not home and the lights in your home turn on by themselves at night, what do you think the property management would think?"
Qiao Sixiao had to admit she did not think enough.
"I misunderstood you. It's late now. Are you hungry? If hungry then make your own food..."
Qin Wei shook her head, but remembered something very important.
"Teacher Qiao, let me give you a bath okay? You haven't bathed for three days already. It would be hard to justify if you don't bathe now."
Qiao Sixiao took a step back:
"I'll bathe myself. Don't trouble yourself."
Qin Wei rolled up her sleeves. "No need to stand on ceremony!"
"No no no! It should be owners giving dogs a bath. Which dog gives their owner a bath, does this make sense?"
"You're just being polite. I'm only helping because I see you're limping..."
"No need! No need!"
"It's fine, it's fine."
"..."
In the end, they compromised. Qin Wei ran the bath water, making sure the temperature was right. Then she bathed by herself. After the bath, Qin Wei helped wash her hair.
Sitting on the sofa and helping her dry her hair, Qin Wei was filled with a sense of achievement:
"Congrats Teacher Qiao, you're a clean and refreshed good dog again!"
