Chapter 975 Li Shengxiaos Genetic Disease

Chapter 975: Chapter 975: Li Shengxiao’s Genetic Disease Chapter 975: Chapter 975: Li Shengxiao’s Genetic Disease Chu Xi raised an eyebrow, “So we’re friends now?”

She quickly added, “Since Mr. Cui has admitted with his own lips that we’re friends, you should remember what you’ve said. Don’t say it and then treat me as a friend— that hurts.”

Cui Jiangjing’s eyebrows knitted together.

At this moment, Li Shengxiao returned with some medicine, “These are the medications that need to be changed daily. I heard you don’t want to stay in the hospital, so I’ve arranged for someone to take you back to the hotel.”

Cui Jiangjing’s thin lips pressed together, “Since it was my fault that Miss Chu injured her leg, I will take her back myself. And, by the way, have the nanny from my home come over to take care of Miss Chu’s daily needs.”

Li Shengxiao glanced at the wall clock. With this delay, it was almost 1 a.m. He contemplated for a moment, then looked at Chu Xi, “That’s fine. What do you think?”

Cui Jiangjing also looked over, expecting Chu Xi to insist on having Li Shengxiao take her. However, to his surprise, she shrugged her shoulders indifferently and said, “Sure, it doesn’t matter to me.”

The eyebrows he had originally furrowed were now almost twisted into knots due to self-doubt. His instincts told him that Chu Xi might be here for Shengxiao, but both times it seemed like Chu Xi was truly, as she had said, already with a boyfriend. There was no sign of her clinging to Shengxiao, as if she simply regarded him as a friend.

He couldn’t figure out whether his instincts were wrong or if Chu Xi’s acting was just too good. If it was the latter, he could only conclude that this woman was too cunning.

As if she hadn’t noticed the scrutinizing gaze that had been on her the whole time, Chu Xi looked up naturally and said to the tall man, “Before we go back, there’s something I want to tell you.”

Li Shengxiao, not wanting it to drag out too late, said, “You can tell me over the phone tomorrow.”

But Chu Xi insisted, “It won’t take much of your time, just a few words, but it’s quite important.”

She turned directly to Cui Jiangjing and said, “Mr. Cui, if it’s convenient, could you give us a moment alone?”

Cui Jiangjing did not want to leave, but Chu Xi had already asked, and he could only give Li Shengxiao a look that said ‘be cautious’ while lifting a hand and curling the corner of his mouth, “OK, I’ll go start the car. Make it quick.”

He walked away, and the other doctors and nurses who had the sense also moved off.

In a moment, only the two of them were left in the corridor. Li Shengxiao spoke first, “What is it?”

He seemed as usual, but Chu Xi could still tell from the slight purse of his lips that the man was a bit impatient.

Without beating around the bush, she went straight to the point, “I’ve heard from my family that the Li Family has a hereditary disease that causes severe headaches, is that true?”

Li Shengxiao’s eyes instantly darkened, and his gaze became as sharp as the edge of a blade, “What are you trying to say?”

Even with mental preparation, Chu Xi felt as if her soul wanted to be imprisoned uncontrollably when she met his bottomless dark eyes; her muscles tensed up. “I know an expert overseas who once told me she encountered a rare genetic disease in a primitive tribe in Nanzhou. The patients would break into a sweat when they had an attack, writhing in pain on the ground, but when she examined them, modern instruments couldn’t find any problem with their bodies. Heart rate, blood pressure – everything was normal. She thought the instruments were broken at first, but the same situation occurred several times. She changed instruments, but the results were the same. The patients were in agony, yet their bodies seemed perfectly fine.”
