Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him

Chapter 164: Chapter 164: The Exquisite Flying Needle Technique

Xu Xingluo and Xu Yunye were twins, but their circumstances were worlds apart.

In the Xu Family, Xu Yunye was invisible. In Xu Xingluo’s unconscious competition for affection, Xu Yunye became the scapegoat, less loved by their parents.

After Xu Xingluo learned about her origins, she speculated that Xu Yunye’s lack of favor might be because he was born to Liu Huimin.

But then she thought, Xu Xiuyuan was also her child.

Why did their father treat the two brothers so differently?

Xu Guangyao said indifferently, “He’s disappointing, lacks success.”

Though he said this, he knew very well what the truth was.

Back then, when the two girls were switched, Xu Yunye looked at him with clear eyes. Xu Guangyao could still remember that scene as if all his thoughts were seen through by a child in swaddling clothes.

He felt guilty, even becoming furiously embarrassed.

He had always suppressed Xu Yunye since childhood, even though he knew he didn’t remember anything from the day of his birth, but Xu Guangyao couldn’t bear to look into his eyes.

Xu Xingluo didn’t believe, “Just that alone?”

“Don’t ask so much,” Xu Guangyao said with a furrowed brow. “Tomorrow I’ll have the lawyer draft a share transfer agreement, you better get Liu Huimin to sign it quickly.”

“Okay.”

Xu Xingluo thought of owning 20% of Xu’s shares and was very delighted.

Xu Xiuyuan only had 5%, and Xu Yunye had nothing at all.

“She really is willing to give it to Xingluo? That’s great,” Shen Shiyun couldn’t contain her joy.

Liu Huimin is a foolish woman.

“I’m her most beloved daughter, if not to me then to whom?” she disdainfully lifted her chin, “As long as the truth doesn’t come out, I’ll always be Liu Huimin’s daughter, and everything she has is mine.”

Liu Huimin held 20% of Xu’s shares, dozens of properties, and a jewelry store. It was the largest jewelry store in the country, a dowry from the Liu Family.

Xu Xingluo had long coveted the jewelry store and planned to get Liu Huimin to transfer it to her later.

“There’s one more thing,” Xu Guangyao said proudly. “Huo Jiancheng called me.”

Xu Xingluo looked at him eagerly, “What did he say?”

Xu Guangyao said, “He will fulfill your wish, and make Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou divorce. The condition is that we must keep the agreement we signed ten years ago a secret for now. He will help us achieve our goal.”

Xu Xingluo beamed with joy, “That’s really great! Better than us handling it ourselves, so we don’t have to completely fall out with Brother Xingzhou!”

Huo Jiancheng’s willingness to take the lead was a good thing!

She increasingly felt that the agreement Xu Guangyao secretly signed with Huo Jiancheng ten years ago was a precautionary measure.

Xu Guangyao said contentedly, “Let’s just wait for his good news! I guess he wouldn’t dare tell the other Huo Family members about the existence of that agreement.”

“Even if it gets to the point of no return, Huo Xingzhou wouldn’t break with his biological father!”

…

A week later.

The medical conference at Hai City Hospital convened on time, and Qiao Xi had to perform acupuncture on Liu Zongyun in front of them. A group of Western doctors from various major hospitals had gathered, highly skilled professionals with decades of experience.

Usually arrogant, they now watched intently a young woman in her twenties.

After a week of observation, Liu Zongyun had been moved to a high-class ward. Though he had passed the critical period, his physical data had significantly dropped, and his periods of unconsciousness were growing longer each day.

Qiao Xi sat at the bedside, holding the needle handle between her thumb and forefinger, twisting and releasing, the needle flying like a bird flapping its wings.

It swiftly entered Liu Zongyun’s acupoints.

This was the Flying Needle Technique she had practiced since childhood, which placed very strict demands on finger and wrist strength. Her Flying Needle could penetrate three points into wood, even Cheng Han said she was spoon-fed by fate.

An extraordinary talent.

The old western doctors had also witnessed the Flying Needle Technique in Chinese medicine, but seeing it performed with such a pleasing and sharp demeanor as Qiao Xi’s was rare!

The long, thin needle was swiftly and precisely jabbed into Liu Zongyun’s acupoints without the slightest deviation.

Qiao Xi exerted force downward with her wrist and finished the last acupoint.

A highly esteemed western doctor spoke up, “I had seen Cheng Han’s Flying Needle Technique back in the day and was amazed. I didn’t expect someone to follow in his footsteps. Doctor Qiao is indeed the case where the student surpasses the teacher.”

“Perhaps the treatment plan for comatose patients should integrate both Chinese and Western medicine, complementing each other. Chinese medicine greatly helps in recuperation and rehabilitation, observing the qi and controlling the vital forces, something many devices cannot achieve.”

Qiao Xi stood up and said with a faint smile, “You are all my seniors, I have merely shown a modest skill.”

This exchange conference was wholeheartedly promoted by Xu Xiuyuan, initiated by Qiao Xi’s idea.

By leveraging the country’s first case of a coma patient waking up after twenty years as a basis, it facilitated an exchange and learning among experts from major hospitals. A historically strong medical team was temporarily formed to continue treating Liu Zongyun.

The experts studied and learned, and Liu Zongyun received substantial treatment.

Qiao Xi was well aware that she merely played a role in connecting and coordinating everyone.

She was about to resign, and it was time for someone else to take over Liu Zongyun’s case.

If Xu Guangyao and Xu Xingluo found out about this, they would be furious.

The father and daughter were even planning to transfer Liu Zongyun to a nursing home to silence him.

Xu Xiuyuan, dressed in a black suit, entered the ward and said, “Please move along, we have prepared a dinner at Jinling Grand Hotel. The hospital has arranged cars for transport outside.”

“Okay.”

The experts left the ward in a single file and proceeded to the hospital’s main gate under the guidance of the staff.

Qiao Xi packed up her needle kit and stayed in the ward to wait for half an hour before removing the needles.

Xu Xiuyuan walked in and said amiably, “Qiao Xi, thank you for your hard work. Today’s event was largely thanks to you, those experts are very interested in my uncle’s condition and decided to stay on for his treatment.”

Qiao Xi said indifferently, “I’m just cleaning up the mess I left. Dr. Yan will be responsible for acupuncture in the future, I’ve already informed him of the precautions.”

“Mm, thank you,” he said.

Xu Xiuyuan pursed his lips and added, “And about what my family did, I’m very sorry.”

Qiao Xi’s eyes flickered, her face showing a perfunctory smile, “You feel sorry, but will they restrain themselves? Your sister is intent on being ‘the other woman’. But I’m resigning, hoping never to cross paths with them again.”

She knew Xu Xingluo wouldn’t give up easily; she was as pesky as a fly.

“I will control her actions,” Xu Xiuyuan said helplessly.

Qiao Xi didn’t believe it.

She had already seen how the Xu and Liu families spoiled Xu Xingluo, who nearly indirectly caused Liu Zongyun’s death and got away with just a few tears.

They indulged Xu Xingluo too much, her tears were her best weapon.

“Dean Xu, I have finished handing over the hospital’s affairs. I won’t be coming in tomorrow,” she said. Her clinic had completed all its procedures, and she also had a driving test to take.

Quite busy.

Xu Xiuyuan scrutinized her expression, especially her dewy apricot eyes. He had more memories of his mother Liu Huimin in her younger days than the twins, and he always felt that Qiao Xi had many similarities with his mother.

But Qiao Xi was smarter than his mother, more straightforward and simple, and more independent.

He couldn’t help but marvel at how strange the world was.

If it weren’t for Xingluo’s blood type being the same as his mother’s, and her resemblance to his father, along with his parents’ many years of love,

he might have harbored a ridiculous notion.

“I heard you have activities tonight, you should go ahead,” he said lightly.

Qiao Xi nodded, she never thought to invite Xu Xiuyuan.

After all, as the dean, it wasn’t appropriate for him to attend such events.
