375 Enemy to the Death
“Old Madam Xia!”
Everyone quickly greeted her, but no one mentioned what had just happened.
Xia Tangxin held Old Madam Xia and winked at Qin Xi as a way of greeting.
Xia Tangxin was dressed especially gracefully today. The light blue dress she was wearing made her figure look slender and her skin fair. Her long black hair was like a waterfall, draping over her shoulder.
Han Shi’s face darkened when he saw his wife winking at Xia Tangxin. He put his arm around Qin Xi’s shoulder and turned his body slightly to avoid Xia Tangxin’s ‘flirtatious’ gaze.
Xia Tangxin gritted her teeth and glared at Han Shi, looking like she was about to bite him.
Just as Qin Xi was about to explain the situation here, someone spoke first. Qin Xi knew this woman. She was Xie Min, whom she had met twice.
She said ambiguously, “Old Madam Xia, Qiu Juan had an argument with this lady. After that, Qiu Juan was suddenly on the ground and wounded by the vase fragments. At that time, it happened too quickly and we didn’t see exactly what happened.”
When Old Madam Xia heard the woman’s words, her gaze landed on Qin Xi. Not only did she not question her, but she also smiled kindly. “Xi, what took you so long to come? Tangxin and I have been waiting for you for a long time. Today, your Uncle Xia hired an excellent chef. Try it later and see if it tastes good. Let the chef make more of your favorite dishes.”
When everyone heard that, they were stunned. It seemed that Old Madam Xia knew this woman called Xi and was especially close to her.
Xie Min was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in.
That’s right, she was the one who sowed discord. She told the woman called Qiu Juan that Qin Xi was a promiscuous woman. She knew that Qiu Juan only maintained her relationship with her husband on the surface, but in fact, they were messing around and never interfered with each other’s private lives.
Just like that, Qiu Juan took a fancy to Han Shi and his tall and lean figure. Just looking at him made her excited. If not for the fact that the occasion was not right, she would have pounced on him.
Of course, if Qin Xi and Han Shi knew what she was thinking, she probably wouldn’t just be injured by the fragments.
The reason why Xie Min did this was undoubtedly because she suspected that Gu Qing and Qin Xi had an ambiguous relationship. She wasn’t sure last time.
However, yesterday, she saw Gu Qing signing ‘Qin Xi’ during the ward round. She initially didn’t know who Qin Xi was. Just now, she heard Qin Xi arguing with Xue Ya and confirmed that she was the woman who caused Gu Qing to be so absent-minded.
This was unacceptable to her.
She chased after Gu Qing for five years. Five years was neither long nor short, but it was the most precious five years of her life as a girl. She didn’t think that she was inferior to Qin Xi. In fact, she thought that she was prettier than Qin Xi, had good medical skills, and came from a better family.
From the fact that she could attend Old Madam Xia’s birthday today, it could be seen that she and Gu Qing were definitely well-matched in terms of social status.
It was obvious that Xie Min had forgotten what happened at the amusement park. She only thought that she was the best match for Gu Qing.
She engraved Qin Xi’s name in her mind. She was her enemy, the kind who she would fight to the death.
