Chapter 209

She was afraid that Jiang Ye had found out something and would tell Chen Xiuyue everything.

"She didn't say a word, she's so ill-bred! A country woman who just walked out of the countryside is just crude," Chen Xiuyue said angrily.

"Mom, don't be angry. She hasn't been in Jing City from the countryside for long, so she must still be using the ways of the countryside. It's not worth it to get angry at her and hurt your own body." Lin Miao was very glad she wasn't following Jiang Ye; otherwise, she would also be the ill-bred country girl in Chen Xiuyue's mouth right now.

Chen Xiuyue smoothed her breath, "Fine. Qiao not liking you is his loss. Our family has really been having a hard time lately. Let's think of a way together. Your second brother is living at the company all day now, it's heartbreaking just to look at him. And your father, his hair has turned quite a bit whiter."

"Okay, Mom."

"And your health, shouldn't you go to the hospital to get it checked? Shu Xia is heartless and lacks a conscience, how could she just ignore you like that? She doesn't even know to go to the hospital to donate blood for you." Chen Xiuyue felt breathless just mentioning Shu Xia.

A couple of days ago, she still felt she might owe Shu Xia a little.

Now, she didn't feel that way at all; Shu Xia was just here to collect a debt.

In her heart now, she only had Miaomiao as a daughter.

"She probably won't donate blood to me in the future," Lin Miao said, biting her lip.

Before, she could still be certain that Shu Xia wouldn't dare offend her in order to curry favor with the family.

Now...

"She will. She still has to come home in the future. As long as she comes home, she cannot shirk a single thing she is supposed to do." Chen Xiuyue was very certain; being kept by someone wouldn't last long, and perhaps she would be abandoned after a while.

Thinking of having a daughter who was kept by someone and then abandoned, a wave of annoyance rose in Chen Xiuyue's heart.

There weren't many people at the hospital in the morning.

Butler Qin had booked a private hospital for them.

The privacy protection for patients here was excellent.

Many celebrities and famous people came here for medical treatment.

Shu Xia and Qiao Muting went to have their various check-ups separately.

After the check-ups were done, they had to wait for the results.

Shu Xia had taken time off today, and Qiao Muting's work schedule for today had also been cleared.

So they went to a restaurant across from the hospital to have lunch together.

They asked for a small private room.

To eat spicy hot pot, she specifically ordered a yin-yang pot.

"Are you just going to eat these?"

Shu Xia glanced at what Qiao Muting had ordered.

Winter melon, oilseed rape, beef, and hand-pulled noodles.

Eating hot pot with only these few items, it had no soul.

"I'm ordering pig brain and duck intestines, do you mind?" Shu Xia looked at the duck intestines, pig brain, and boneless duck feet on the menu, secretly drooling.

She loved eating hot pot the most, especially this kind of numbing and spicy hot pot.

But looking at Qiao Muting opposite her, dressed in a suit and looking like a corporate elite, and then seeing the clean menu, he probably didn't come out to eat hot pot often, right?

Qiao Muting said, "Do as you please, you can order whatever you want to eat."

Shu Xia ordered a portion of everything she wanted to eat.

When she came out to eat hot pot, her appetite was two or three times larger than usual.

She could really eat!

After the spicy hot pot was brought up, Shu Xia noticed that Qiao Muting didn't really eat from the spicy side.

He didn't even use the oil dipping sauce.

Shu Xia only glanced at Qiao Muting once, then started eating the spicy beef, duck blood, and duck intestines she had ordered...

"Ask the doctor this afternoon if you can eat spicy food while preparing for pregnancy," Qiao Muting suddenly spoke up.
