Chapter 375: 375. Afraid you’ll be bullied

Old Master Qiao waved his hand casually, patting Qiao Xu’s hand, "Xuxu, don’t worry, with me here, you won’t be wronged. I am the head of the Qiao family. Even if those two are brought in by your father, they will never become members of the Qiao family."

Now that her own mother has divorced Qiao Sheng, Qiao Xu doesn’t really care about Su Rou and her daughter stepping in, but listening to Old Master Qiao protect her like this made her very happy.

"I know, Grandpa, thank you."

The grandfather and granddaughter chatted for a while, and then the door was knocked. Uncle Zhang entered the room and said to Old Master, "Old Master, Grandma Lu has come to see you."

Then, Grandma Lu, with a head full of white hair but full of energy, walked in with a smile, "Old Qiao, how are you feeling?"

Seeing Qiao Xu, Old Lady was even more overjoyed, "Xuxu is here too. Just now, Grandma heard Mo Qing said that you took care of him all night yesterday. You really worked hard."

Hearing the Old Lady’s words, Old Master Qiao’s eyes lit up as well, casting a surprised gaze at Qiao Xu, which made her feel a little uneasy.

"Um... Last night, Assistant Jiang had something at home, and since I was around, I just... I didn’t do much, just helped him watch over the drip... "

She explained somewhat deliberately, but the more she explained, the more it seemed to her that something was wrong.

Especially when she saw the "we understand" gaze in the eyes of the Old Master and the Old Lady, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Well... I’ll step out while you guys talk."

When she opened the door and left, she couldn’t help feeling uneasy as she recalled the two old people’s gazes on her.

The ward where Lu Moqing was staying was not far from Old Master Qiao’s ward. There were only two rooms on the VIP ward floor, located on both sides of the corridor.

As Qiao Xu walked down the hallway, her gaze subconsciously looked in the direction of Lu Moqing’s ward, hesitating for a long time, but still not going over.

Just as she was about to look away, she saw that Lu Moqing’s ward door was opened, and Lu Moqing stepped out, looking a little agitated.

But the moment he looked up and saw her, he paused, and then a smile of delight spread across his face. He strode towards her quickly, "Xuxu, you’re back."

In his deep voice, he couldn’t suppress the joy within. Qiao Xu looked at his still pale face, and frowned, saying:

"Why did you come out again?"

Seeing her displeasure, Lu Moqing’s face had a hint of helplessness. He pursed his lips and walked in front of her, whispering, "I’m worried about you."

Qiao Xu was somewhat surprised by his answer. Hearing him say that, she raised her eyes to look at him, "What?"

"You went to find Qiao Sheng. I’m afraid they would bully you."

But on second thought, Qiao Xu being bullied by Qiao Sheng was indeed an unnecessary concern for him. Realizing this, he looked at Qiao Xu’s indifferent expression, pursed his lips, and said with self-deprecation:

"It seems my worries were a bit redundant."

Qiao Xu didn’t respond to him, only saying, "The doctor said that your gastrointestinal bleeding is quite severe. You better not move around casually. Hurry up and go back to lie down."

"What about you?"

Lu Moqing reflexively asked, his eyes carrying a hint of expectation as they looked at Qiao Xu.

His hand hanging by his side was involuntarily clenched due to nervousness.

Confronted with the expectation in his dark pupils, Qiao Xu subconsciously averted her gaze slightly.

Without looking at Lu Moqing, she said, "I have finished handling my affairs in City A. After Grandpa is discharged from the hospital, I will be going back."
