My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

Zhou Qizheng said calmly: "Let's go to the hospital, are you going too?"

Lin Lin was startled for a moment, then realized they were going to the hospital to see a patient. "Oh! Go ahead!" Then she turned to Lu Xiaoqiao and said, "Don't be too late. Come back early! I'll wait for you."

Zhou Qizheng: “…”

……

The two bought a fruit basket and a bouquet of flowers at a fruit supermarket near the hospital. Zhou Qizhen was holding both items at the same time. Lu Xiaoqiao wanted to help him get one of them, but he refused.

"It's okay, it's not heavy, I can carry it."

"Let me get one for you! That fruit basket is quite heavy, and these flowers are blocking your view."

Seeing that Lu Xiaoqiao was so insistent, Zhou Qizhen handed her the lighter flowers. After entering the hospital, the two found the ward. Just as they were about to go in, Zhou Qizhen took the flowers again.

Lu Xiaoqiao: "?"

What Zhou Qizhen was thinking in his heart was that, apart from himself and his future father-in-law, the man who wanted flowers from his girlfriend had not yet been born.

At this moment, in the hospital's VIP ward.

Li Bing paced back and forth in front of Tang Qian's bed, scratching his head anxiously. Knowing that Tang Qian couldn't stand up or hit him at the moment, he spoke a little tougher than before.

"Brother, what were you thinking? That's the sea, you think it's a creek. If you jump in without hesitation, you'll die. When sister comes later, she'll definitely scold me for not watching you."

"You can't swim, yet you're still jumping. She's Zhou Qizheng's woman. Is it your turn to risk your life to save her? Brother, something's wrong with you. This is different from your original intention when you approached her. Don't tell me you're serious. This won't do!"

"That's great! He wanted to mess with Zhou Qizheng, but not only did he fail, he also got himself into trouble."

Tang Qian ignored his muttering and just closed his eyes to think about things.

Li Bing was about to say something when he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door of the ward and saw Zhou Qizhen and Lu Xiaoqiao. He quickly let them in and was glad that he had stopped talking quickly.

Lu Xiaoqiao looked at Tang Qian lying on the hospital bed. His face was ashen, pale with a hint of bluish-gray, and his lips were bloodless. He was completely different from the unruly man he used to be.

When she thought that this was all because of "saving" herself, she felt a strong sense of guilt and self-blame in her heart.

"Mr. Tang, are you feeling better? Thank you so much for taking such a big risk for me today."

Tang Qian, lying on the hospital bed, looked weakly at the two people standing beside the bed. The man was elegant and handsome, and the woman was smart and well-behaved. The two people whose conditions were not matched in any way were surprisingly well-matched when standing together now.

Tang Qian turned his head away, not wanting to look anymore, and simply said, "I'm glad you're okay."

Seeing that he didn't talk as much as before, Lu Xiaoqiao guessed that it was due to physical discomfort, so she wanted to leave as soon as possible so that he could have more rest.

"Mr. Tang, these are flowers and fruits for you. I wish you a speedy recovery!"

"What? You just came here and took a look and you're leaving already?" It's so infuriating. I've been lying here for her! Can't you stay a little longer?

Li Bing saw him lying there sickly, looking a little pitiful.

Knowing what Tang Qian was thinking, Li Bing steeled herself and stepped forward, giving Zhou Qizheng a flattering smile. Then, turning to Lu Xiaoqiao, she said, "Miss Lu, please stay a little longer! My brother is doing this for you."

Before Lu Xiaoqiao could speak, Zhou Qizheng spoke first, his tone low and calm: "We have other things to do, so we won't disturb the patient's rest any longer. Of course, I will be fully responsible for Mr. Tang's medical expenses for the next few days."

At this moment, Tang Qian, who had been lying on the hospital bed without saying a word, said disdainfully, "Do you think I care about your medical expenses?"

Zhou Qizhen smiled lightly, raised his eyes like cold ponds, stared at the other person, with a sense of majesty, and his voice was neither light nor heavy.

"I don't care what you care about, but you'd better not think about things that don't belong to you, especially people."

Tang Qian smiled nonchalantly and said, "Mr. Zhou, why are you so excited?"

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly become tense, Lu Xiaoqiao was confused about the situation for a moment. She reached out and grabbed Zhou Qizhen's sleeve, said a simple goodbye to Tang Qian, and walked out of the ward.

As soon as I walked out of the elevator, I met two men.

One of them was wearing a Zhongshan suit, had a calm and wise temperament, and was in his fifties, while the other one looked a little older and was wearing business attire.

The latter was stunned when he passed by Zhou Qizhen.

"Qi Zheng?"

Zhou Qi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect them to come so quickly. "Uncle Shen."

Then, he nodded to another man in a Mao suit and said, "Mayor Liu."

Liu Dongyi nodded in response: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for what happened today!" After he said that, he looked at the girl standing next to Zhou Qizhen. Presumably, this was the girl Tang Ci was talking about.

Zhou Qizheng smiled faintly and said, "You're welcome!"

"Qi Zheng, who is this..." Father Shen looked at Lu Xiaoqiao in confusion and asked.

Zhou Qizheng smiled and took Lu Xiaoqiao's hand, introducing them to the two: "Lu Xiaoqiao, my girlfriend."

Father Shen was a little surprised. He looked at the perfect couple in front of him with some envy. Thinking of his son Shen Yi's recently canceled engagement, he sighed secretly. Then he smiled and said to Zhou Qizheng, "Okay, then Uncle Shen will be waiting to drink in your wedding wine."

Zhou Qizhen agreed with a smile.

After a few polite greetings, they said goodbye and left.

……

On the way, Lu Xiaoqiao tilted her head and looked at the man beside her. Zhou Qizheng, who had been stared at for a while, smiled helplessly and said, "What do you want to ask? Ask it."

Lu Xiaoqiao thought for a moment and asked the question she had always wanted to know: "What is the grudge between you and Mr. Tang?"

Zhou Qizheng stopped and stared at her, wondering how to start.

"I told you not to be angry."

Lu Xiaoqiao looked at him speechlessly: "I will be angry if you don't tell me, tell me quickly."

Zhou Qizheng sighed softly: "He also has a biological sister. His father once wanted to arrange a marriage between him and me, but I refused."

"His sister likes you? And you disagreed, and you're angry that you broke her heart?"

Zhou Qizhen didn't answer, which was considered as his consent.

"That's not right! He said he was abandoned, so how come he has a sister?"

Zhou Qizheng frowned: "Did he tell you that?"

Lu Xiaoqiao nodded and said "hmm".

"The Mayor Liu we just mentioned is his father. As far as I know, when his father was still working at the grassroots level, he was often on business trips due to his busy schedule. Eventually, the couple divorced due to their fading relationship. Shortly after the divorce, his mother discovered she was pregnant and later passed away. As for how she ended up at the Tang family, I have no idea."

"Ah? Then he's quite pitiful."

Zhou Qizheng looked up at her, his eyes filled with jealousy: "Lu Xiaoqiao, are you feeling sorry for another man in front of me?"

Lu Xiaoqiao hurriedly explained: "I mean he has never enjoyed the love of his parents since he was a child." It can be seen from his previous behavior that he just wants to attract other people's attention.

"The Tang family has never treated him unfairly. They even plan to give him the inheritance rights of the company. Okay, stop talking about him."

After Zhou Qizhen and Lu Xiaoqiao came out of the hospital, they called several people who were still in the hotel and learned that they had all finished their meal.

"What do you want to eat? Let's go get something."

Lu Xiaoqiao thought for a moment and said, "Just have a bite. After dinner, go back and buy some rice. Oh, and by the way, can you make porridge in the room you booked? Let's go to the hospital tomorrow to give Mr. Tang some porridge, and then go back to Hangzhou."

After not hearing his reply for a while, Lu Xiaoqiao looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
