When the doctor at the side saw this scene, he had a strange feeling. All these years, he had been in charge of treating Miss Kang. Although Miss Kang's condition was indeed not too optimistic, she did not have to keep saying such things.
Miss Kang was constantly reminding others that she was a patient and would not live long. Thus, everyone should treat her well. As for the real Miss Kang, she was still very healthy, so she could spend a lot of time with the Kang family in the future. On the other hand, she only had a few years left to live.
All these years, everyone in the Kang family had seen it clearly. Although Miss Kang and the Kang father and son were not related by blood, the Kang father and son doted on her very much, especially Young Master Kang. He wished he could pluck the stars in the sky for her.
The family doctor withdrew his gaze and suddenly felt that the name Qiao Xi was a little familiar as if he had heard it somewhere before.
That day, Kang Qingzhi and Kang Jichuan got on a plane to Li City.
…
The next day.
At 9:40 a.m., reporters, cultural relic restoration experts, and other invited audience members were all present. At this moment, the He family had also arrived, but Qiao Xi was nowhere to be seen.
"The competition is about to start. Why isn't she here yet?"
"Could it be that she's afraid?!"
"It's not time yet, so she's not late. She might come in a while."
He Wenxian listened to the discussion, her eyes filled with pride.
They would not let Qiao Xi die. After all, Qiao Xi was still useful, but it was still possible to cripple one of her hands and make her unable to participate in the competition.
Time passed minute by minute. The number of people present seemed to have almost doubled compared to yesterday, and the discussion online became more and more heated.
He Wenxian lowered her voice and asked, "Have you arranged it?"
The assistant behind her replied respectfully, "Don't worry, Eldest Miss. Everything is ready."
He Wenxian smiled in satisfaction. She took out her phone to look at the news online and smiled wantonly.
[Qiao Xi is too much! She was the one who said she wanted to compete yesterday, but she hasn't appeared even after a long time. Everyone is very busy and doesn't have time to play with her! She's clearly not the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor, yet she insists on occupying someone else's identity. Why is she so shameless?!]
[She's just a fashion designer. She really thinks highly of herself! The people who support her are all brainless. They were deceived by her face!]
[He Wenxian is obviously a scholarly person. People who like to do research should be as gentle and generous as He Wenxian.]
[Yesterday, this woman swore to issue a challenge, but she doesn't dare to appear today. I'm dying of laughter. Yesterday, someone on the internet predicted that Qiao Xi would find an excuse to refuse to attend the competition, such as getting injured in a car accident.]
More and more people were paying attention to this matter. Many people who did not usually pay attention to the restoration of cultural relics also noticed the popularity of this topic online.
He Wenxian glanced around. Qiao Xi was indeed not here yet, but… why was Mr. Twilight not here either?
At Longwan Residential.
Qiao Xi had just walked out of the door when she saw Song Shijing waiting at the door. Seeing her come out, he said hurriedly, "Young Madam, the president has an urgent meeting and has gone out a long time ago. He asked me to send you to the scene."
"If he's holding an emergency meeting, why aren't you with him?" Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows.
"Song Shiyu is attending that meeting, so I can stay and protect you in case the He family has ulterior motives."
Qiao Xi got into the car, and she was driven all the way to the underground parking lot. Song Shijing got out of the car as well. "Young Madam, I'll send you up."
"There's no need. Go back first and don't let the He family see you," Qiao Xi instructed.
Song Shijing was Gu Zheng's personal assistant and had always been by his side. Now that Song Shijing was here, He Weinian might change his plan at the last minute.
Qiao Xi got out of the car and walked toward the elevator in the parking lot. She had just reached an intersection when she heard the sound of a car speeding over.
The cars that entered the parking lot were all very slow, but this car was extremely fast. Before Qiao Xi could react, the car had already arrived in front of her. Qiao Xi instinctively took a step back.
"Young Madam!" Song Shijing's voice sounded behind her, but Qiao Xi had already lost the ability to think. No matter how powerful she was, she could not be faster than the car that was speeding over.
Suddenly, a strong arm appeared around her waist and pulled her back. Her body instantly fell into a scorching embrace, and she successfully dodged the approaching car. However, the two of them also fell heavily to the floor due to the strong inertia.
