Becoming The Business Magnat - Chapter 65

Chapter 65 Attitude Change

In the quiet waiting room, the police officers gave the case notes to Qu Xiao and Shang Xinchen.

Because Qu Xiao and Shang Xinchen had retaliated beyond self-defense and caused multiple soft tissue injuries to the gangsters’ bodies, they had to wait for their immediate family members or friends to come to the police station to sign a warrant before they could leave the police station.

Shang Xinchen called Shang Liqing, but she didn’t pick up, so they had no choice but to stay in the police station for one night.

“Hey! Did you have a fight with second brother?”

Shang Xinchen was forced to be alone with Qu Xiao and felt awkward. He touched the tip of his nose, thinking of a topic to talk about and used his shoulder to bump Qu Xiao, pretending to be an expert in love, “Don’t always be arrogant and act reserved. Men like obedient and sensible women. Second brother is certainly no exception.”

“He’s willing to coax you now, but he might not always be like this. Don’t wait until he gets annoyed with you before changing your attitude. You won’t even have time to cry!”

Qu Xiao heard Shang Xinchen’s childish words and stared at him with a smile in her eyes. “Are you concerned about me?”

Shang Xinchen almost choked on his saliva. His face flushed red as he averted her gaze and retorted in a stiff tone, “Obviously not! I just feel bored and want to give you some advice! Don’t think that I’m grateful to you for today. If it weren’t for you, I would definitely have beaten them all to the ground!”

Qu Xiao nodded and deliberately laughed with a drawn-out tone, causing Shang Xinchen to stare at her with a frown.

The next morning, Shang Liqing finally picked up Shang Xinchen’s call and rushed to the police station.

In the waiting room, Qu Xiao was lying on the bench resting with Shang Xinchen’s coat draped over her.

Seeing Shang Xinchen sitting beside Qu Xiao, her pupils suddenly dilated as she quickly ran over. She pulled the coat off Qu Xiao’s body and grabbed Shang Xinchen’s arm as she questioned, “Why are the two of you together? Why are you at the police station?”

Shang Xinchen opened his mouth to explain, but Shang Liqing ignored him as she muttered to herself, “This must be Qu Xiao’s fault, right!”

“She must have done something ridiculous and led you astray! Shang Xinchen, if mom and dad find out that you spent the night at the police station, you can say goodbye to your legs! How can you be together with Qu Xiao?”

Shang Liqing’s sharp voice gave Qu Xiao a headache. She rubbed her eyes in a daze, and there were still traces of redness and swelling on the left side of her face.

After last night’s interaction, Shang Xinchen’s attitude towards Qu Xiao had eased up. He stopped Shang Liqing, who had rushed over and wanted to argue with Qu Xiao. He tried to persuade her in a hoarse voice, “It has nothing to do with her. Qu Xiao got involved last night because she helped me.”

“Actually, I should be thanking her.”

When Shang Liqing heard Shang Xinchen’s words, she was so shocked that she thought she had misheard.

She tugged at Shang Xinchen’s elbow and shook it violently. “Is your brain broken?”

“You’re actually defending Qu Xiao? Did she give you a bewitching potion?”

Seeing Shang Liqing’s attitude, Shang Xinchen was afraid that she would cause trouble for Qu Xiao, so he could only quickly take her away.

He walked to the door of the waiting room and handed the paper bag in his hand to Qu Xiao. He said hurriedly, “This ointment will help reduce swelling and dissolve bruises. Bring it home and apply it on your face. Don’t let second brother find out what happened, or else he will definitely not let me off!”

Shang Liqing widened her eyes in surprise and looked back and forth between Qu Xiao and Shang Xinchen.

The two of them left the police station. Shang Xinchen sat in the front passenger seat and looked at the sulking Shang Liqing. He said in an extremely low tone, “Maybe Qu Xiao isn’t as bad as we thought. Second brother likes her. Could it be that we misunderstood her?”

Shang Liqing held the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator. She stared at the road with a bitter look in her eyes and said, “Qu Xiao… How dare she bewitch you!”

“How dare she seize the opportunity to trick you. She is too manipulative!”

In the Shang family’s villa, Qu Xiao, who had not returned all night, returned to her bedroom. She took a bath in an attempt to wash away the tiredness all over her body.

Qu Xiao reached out and picked up the medical scripture that she had brought back from the Chinese medicine store. She wanted to look for other ways to treat Shang Yan’s leg paralysis. After all, Nanjiang Blood Essence was something that could only be found by chance. She could not waste all her time endlessly waiting. She had to treat Shang Yan as soon as possible.

“Mrs Qu, the Chinese medicine store across the street has just opened. Should we think of how to deal with this problem?”

The boss of the Chinese Medicine Store sent Qu Xiao a message, which reminded her of the time when Qu Zhen studied Chinese medicine abroad. The Qu family had collected a lot of out-of-print medical books for Qu Zhen to read and learn.

Those out-of-print medical books might contain a way to treat Shang Yan’s leg paralysis!

Qu Xiao’s eyes were shining. She grinned and wiped her hair, deciding to find an opportunity to go back to the Qu family.
