Chapter 623 It’s your own fault
Although Zhou Xiuqi is Zhou Xiuqiong's puppet, she doesn't talk much and doesn't like to show off herself, so Shu Xi doesn't know her very well.
But is she being a little overzealous?
"Shuxi, this honeydew melon is imported from RB. It tastes pretty good. Would you like to try it?"
Shu Xi smiled, took it, and said, "Actually, when it comes to fruits, the fruits in our country are still delicious. There is less land over there, and the natural resources are not abundant, so they are expensive. In addition, the tariffs are also high, so the prices are so high. However, they may not be as delicious as the fruits here."
Zhou Xiuqi's body froze. She laughed dryly and agreed, "Yes, Shuxi is right. I don't understand it either. I just think that expensive things must be good, so I bought them."
Shu Xi glanced at the label on the honeydew melon and said, "Auntie, you can't buy this melon, right?"
"I……"
Because this melon is a new variety grown in RB country and it is rare, it is only sold in their country.
If you want to eat it, it has to be airlifted.
Given Zhou Xiuqi's situation, she would not sell such expensive melons.
Mr. Zhou also realized the problem.
He frowned and said unhappily, "Tell me, where did you get this melon?"
Zhou Xiuqi was startled, her pupils shrank, and she quickly said to Grandpa Zhou: "Dad, my second sister gave it to me!"
Mr. Zhou snorted coldly and said, "It is indeed her! What is her purpose?"
Now that she has been found out, Zhou Xiuqi has no intention of hiding it anymore.
Anyway, she is not good at talking and won't hide it.
In fact, this was just her pretending. She wanted to see if Shu Xi would still...
"I...I promised my elder sister."
"If you still want to come back to this home, tell the truth!" Old Zhou was so angry that he stomped on the ground with his walking stick.
Zhou Xiuqi had no choice but to look like she didn't want to say it, but there was nothing she could do.
“My eldest sister was injured before and consulted many famous doctors, but they all said there was nothing they could do. She still can’t walk now.
She just wanted to ask if Shu Xi had any way..."
Before she finished her words, Shu Xi said coldly: "No."
"No, my second sister said she was looking for you..." Zhou Xiuqi said hurriedly.
Shu Xi said: "I'm not a doctor, what can I do?"
Zhou Xiuqi stopped talking and looked at Mr. Zhou.
She seemed to be asking Mr. Zhou for help.
Mr. Zhou snorted coldly and said, "She has herself to blame! If she wasn't so evil, these things wouldn't have happened at all."
Although Mr. Zhou was sad when he learned that Zhou Xiuqiong had fallen and could not walk.
But when he checked, he found out that Zhou Xiuqiong wanted to harm Shuxi, but ended up getting herself into trouble.
When he found out, he was very angry and cursed Zhou Xiuqiong for bringing it upon herself.
In order to express his attitude, he never met Zhou Xiuqiong even once.
"Why are you helping her?" Mr. Zhou snorted coldly.
Zhou Xiuqi's eyes turned red, and she choked and said, "Dad, she is my sister, and I don't want her to be unable to walk for the rest of her life."
"I won't bother with you this time. If you help her again next time, don't blame me for being rude."
Zhou Xiuqi took out a tissue and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, choking and saying, "I know."
Shu Xi and Bo Mu Nian were about to leave, and Mr. Zhou stopped Shu Xi and said, "I'll see you off."
Shu Xi knew that Mr. Zhou had something to say to her, so she did not refuse.
Mr. Zhou accompanied Shu Xi and the others to the parking lot. He grabbed Shu Xi's hand, patted it kindly, and said, "Child, don't be too stressed. Although grandpa is old, I won't let anyone bully you.
You don't have to take Xiuqiong's matter to heart. The way she ended up was her own problem and has nothing to do with you.
If anyone should be blamed, it should be me. I was blamed for not educating her well since she was young, which led to her having such a personality. "
Shu Xi responded by looking at Mr. Zhou and said, "It's okay, Grandpa. I don't take it to heart at all."
Mr. Zhou looked at Shu Xi, a smile flashed across his cloudy eyes, and he said, "Give the child back."
Shu Xi got in the car and waved to Mr. Zhou, who also waved in response.
The car started moving, Shuxi sat in the car and closed her eyes.
I didn't sleep at noon and I felt sleepy just now.
"Sleepy?"
Bo Mu Nian gently pulled Shu Xi's head onto his shoulder and let her lean on it: "Go to sleep."
His voice seemed to have magic. Shu Xi leaned on his shoulder, closed her eyes, and soon she fell into a deep sleep.
She didn't wake up until we got home.
It was Bo Mu Nian who carried Shu Xi in.
Mrs. Lan was shocked when she saw Bo Mu Nian carrying Shu Xi in. She hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Xi Xi? Are you feeling unwell?"
Bo Mu Nian whispered to Madam Lan, "It's okay. I was just too tired and fell asleep."
Mrs. Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She stepped aside and said, "Then take her to bed."
Bo Munian nodded to Mrs. Lan, carried Shu Xi back to the room, put her down, and covered her with a quilt.
Shu Xi murmured something, and no one knew what she said.
He waited for her to get closer, wanting to hear clearly what she said, but she was already as well-behaved as a little rabbit, sleeping soundly.
Bo Mu Nian helped Shu Xi to pin up her hair, and then helped her to pin up the quilt: "Have a good sleep."
The next day, when Shu Xi woke up, she found herself sleeping in her own bed. She was completely stunned.
Strange, wasn't she sitting in the car with Bo Mu Nian? How come she was back home when she woke up?
Why doesn't she have any impression?
"Xixi, are you up? Xiaobo went out early this morning. He said today is the weekend and asked you to have a good sleep."
"How did I get back last night?"
Madam Lan looked at Shu Xi with a half-smile, her lips slightly raised, and asked, "Have you forgotten?"
Shu Xi shook her head. She really had forgotten.
"I was so sleepy last night that I fell asleep right away."
"Xiao Bo brought you back here, very carefully along the way. I thought you were injured and I was really scared.
Fortunately you are okay."
Shu Xi said "oh" lightly. If it weren't for the red tips of her ears, Mrs. Lan would have been fooled by her.
"I'm going to work."
Mrs. Lan said, "It's the weekend today, do you still need to go to work?"
Shu Xi said, "Well, I'm going to the South China Sea Island in the middle of the month. I'll be very busy recently. I'll have a lot of free time after I finish this period of time."
Mrs. Lan said, "Don't be too tired. What if you fall asleep on the road?"
What if she was driving? That would be dangerous.
"No, I have to tell Xiao Bo to pick you up."
"No need to go through so much trouble..." She thought about it and decided to give up. Madam Lan would be worried if she didn't let Bo Tu Nian pass.
