456 She Can’t Stay
“Jiao, don’t talk nonsense.”
Seeing that his wife, Liu Su, had turned pale, Xu Haisheng immediately reprimanded Xu Jiao. His eyes were as sharp as a knife as he glanced at Xu Jiao.
Xu Jiao’s heart skipped a beat. She knew that she had acted too rashly. However, she couldn’t bear to see her Brother Linyuan looking at Qin Xi so intently. She felt as if her treasure had been snatched away.
The Xu family treated her not particularly well. They only provided her food and clothes but not love. They were the ones who adopted her, but they acted like they were above her in terms of status.
She was like a humble puppy, wagging her tail at them every day, afraid that one day, they would not like her and abandon her.
Therefore, she had to find a way out for herself, and this way was Xu Linyuan.
She wanted her brother to fall in love with her so that she could continue to stay in the Xu family. Even if she could not become the daughter of the Xu family, it would be good enough for her to become the daughter-in-law.
With this in mind, she felt a strong sense of hostility towards Qin Xi, whom she had met for the first time. From the moment Xu Linyuan took the initiative to talk to her, the jealousy in her heart instantly overwhelmed her rationality.
So much so that she thought of this method to kill two birds with one stone.
Facing Xu Haisheng’s reprimand, she took a deep breath and said with a sad expression, “Father, Doctor Qin’s medical skills are very good. She can even defeat so many medical experts. I hope that Sister Wu can recover and wake up soon. That’s why I want Doctor Qin to take a look. I believe that with her ability, she can definitely save Sister Wu, right, Doctor Qin?”
With that, she looked at Qin Xi pleadingly, as if she was forcing Qin Xi to nod.
She thought that Qin Xi was a liar. How could she have such high medical skills at such a young age? It was good to take this opportunity to let Brother Linyuan see her true color so that he wouldn’t be deceived.
Xu Jiao thought that she had covered it up very well. Unfortunately, Qin Xi and Xu Linyuan still saw through her.
However, the two of them didn’t speak it out loud.
The reason why Qin Xi did not say it was that Xu Jiao was the biggest jinx to the Xu family. If she continued to stay here, the Xu family would definitely be destroyed.
Since Xu Jiao planned to use Xu Wu to deal with her, why didn’t she give her a taste of her own medicine? Anyway, the Xu family was a big family. It was better to be friends with them than enemies.
The reason why Xu Linyuan did not expose her was even simpler.
He originally approached Qin Xi because he wanted her to help take a look at Xu Wu’s condition. Just as he was thinking about how to put it, Xu Jiao beat him to it.
Of course, not exposing her did not mean that Qin Xi would let her have it. Qin Xi looked at Xu Jiao with a faint smile.
“Miss Xu, you really overestimated me. What makes you think I can cure her? Do you know me very well? Why should I agree to it? Just because my medical skills are good?”
These words made Xu Jiao blush. She understood that her trick had been seen through by this woman.
How was this possible? She hid it so well that even the rest of the Xu family could not tell. This woman…
Indeed, her intuition was very accurate. She couldn’t let Qin Xi stay in the Xu family.
