"Qian Xiao, how's your investigation into Huo Jiting going?" Fiddling with the watch on her wrist, Qingzhi asked casually.
She had forgotten to return the watch to Ji Huo.
He must have given her the watch because of the fight. He was worried the watch might get damaged during the scuffle, so this watch should be pretty important to him.
"Didn't find much, just got a blurry image!" Qian Xiao handed the phone to Qingzhi.
Qingzhi stared at the photo for a while. Despite it being a candid shot, she could vaguely recognize the person's face.
His face looked quite attractive, and he looked charismatic. It matches the descriptions of Huo Jiting from the novel quite well. However, as she looked at the face, Qingzhi inexplicably felt a sense of regret.
Perhaps it was because of her preconceived notions. Her fiancé was exceptionally handsome, so she expected Huo Jiting's appearance to be at least on the same level. This way, it would do justice to all those years she stayed up late voting and supporting the novel's characters, right?
"Miss, do you still need to inquire about Mr. Huo?"
"Yup, please continue!"
Understanding your enemy is crucial.
Even though the kitchen door was closed, some of the conversation from outside could still be heard. A message from Han Sheng appeared on the phone placed on the countertop, making a beep sound.
Han Sheng: Mr. Huo, the car is beyond repair and can't be restored to its original condition. That guy, Song Yan, dares to mess with us repeatedly. He needs a lesson to understand who's the boss here!
Ji Huo: Ok.
Ji Huo: Reveal my real social media account to the people investigating me.
Han Sheng: Mr. Huo, have you known who they are?
Ji Huo: It's the Little Princess.
Han Sheng was shocked.
Han Sheng: Alright, Mr. Huo. I understand. I'll reveal it quietly!
The kitchen door opened, and Qingzhi asked Qian Xiao to continue the investigation. Then, she smiled as she watched Ji Huo put a plate of apples on the small table in front of her.
The apples inside were neatly and evenly sliced, and Qingzhi raised an eyebrow.
Ji Huo appeared very refined. However, seeing him do these things skillfully and meticulously, did he do this for others regularly or other women?
Qingzhi just ate a mouthful of food when her phone rang. She finished eating without slowing down. Only then did she pick up the phone. "Grandma Zhou, I might have to stay in the hospital for a few more days."
"Miss, the doctor at the mansion has returned, and it's much more comfortable here. I'm worried you won't be comfortable in the hospital. I've already sent someone to pick you up!"
"No need. I'll go back the day after tomorrow!"
"Miss, how can the people in the hospital take good care of you? When I came yesterday, the footsteps of that nurse were so loud, and you're a light sleeper. You can't be disturbed. I've reminded that nurse, but she still walked with such loud steps. And the hospital food is just trying to deceive people. The beef has been sitting for over a day and is not fresh. Eating something not fresh can upset your stomach!"
"No need …"
"Alright, Miss. I'm going to prepare dinner for you now. You need to be a good girl!" After saying this, Grandma Zhou hastily hung up the phone.
The results of the examinations that Qingzhi wanted were also available. Apart from a high body fat percentage, the other aspects of her health seemed quite good.
So, what exactly did Lu Qingzhi die off in the novel? Just saying she "died of an illness" seems vague and perfunctory!
"Qian Xiao, let's go back to the mansion now!" Qingzhi said as she set down her fork.
Since Grandma Zhou has said so, she probably won't be able to stay in the hospital any longer today. After all, the hospital's director is Grandma Zhou's nephew.
