1423 No One Likes Lying Women
He Wenxian reached out to stop Xu Yuxin, but she ended up just standing at the side and sighing as if she could not do anything.
It was probably because the people He Wenxian bribed had played a role, but Qiao Xi’s actions had really angered everyone.
“If she’s pretending to be in a car accident, I hope it’s true. It’s best if she dies. That way, everyone will still feel sorry for her. She’s just relying on her vixen face to gain sympathy. Such a person shouldn’t have appeared at the cultural relic restoration event in the first place.”
He Wenxian was extremely happy when she heard the increasingly intense curses of everyone. It was even to the extent that she wanted to curse Qiao Xi to vent her anger. Now, she was finally able to trample on Qiao Xi.
So what if Qiao Xi was the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor? Who would believe her? Now that her reputation was ruined, she was utterly not worthy of Gu Zheng!
Under such public opinion, no matter how much Gu Zheng liked her, he would probably waver. After all, no one would like a woman who liked to lie.
He Wenxian tried her best to control the joy in her heart and maintained a worried expression, afraid that she would laugh out loud. Just as she was secretly delighted, she suddenly saw a figure at the door.
“Aren’t I here now?” A cold female voice passed through the crowd and entered He Wenxian’s ears. Her expression instantly stiffened.
Qiao Xi? She… Why was she here? Didn’t she get into a car accident? Logically speaking, those people had already succeeded. At this moment, Qiao Xi should be in the hospital for emergency treatment!
The noisy hall instantly fell silent. Everyone’s breathing seemed to have stopped. The door of the venue was very gorgeous. A slim figure stood under the light and shadow. She was wearing a beige coat and high heels. She walked over with a strong aura. Everyone subconsciously made way for her as they watched her walk in front of He Wenxian.
Qiao Xi glanced coldly at He Wenxian, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Then, she turned around and faced everyone. “I’m sorry, everyone. I’m late.”
Only then did everyone realize that she was wearing a coat because her right hand was in a cast and wrapped in a thick bandage.
“Qiao Xi is really here?”
“She’s injured! Could it be that she really got into a car accident?”
Earlier, Qiao Xi had walked all the way here and clearly saw He Wenxian’s face gradually turn pale. She smiled lightly and looked at the person beside her. “Expert Yu, I can participate in the competition.”
Expert Yu looked at her hand worriedly. “But you… You’re injured!”
“It’s okay. It’s just one hand. I can still handle the competition. Since I’ve already agreed to compete, I can’t go back on my word!”
Qiao Xi turned around slightly and looked at He Wenxian with a faint smile. Her voice was still cold with a trace of ridicule. “The knowledge is stored in my mind. Even if my hand is injured, I can use other methods to prove my ability.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at He Wenxian. It seemed that as long as Qiao Xi appeared, she could quickly turn the situation around. He Wenxian, who was still dazzling just now, instantly lost her brilliance.
He Wenxian’s blood instantly froze, and her face gradually turned pale. Her exquisite makeup could not hide her panic at this moment, but she quickly calmed down and said with a worried expression, “Xi Xi, you’re injured. Is your hand okay? Everyone is very worried about you. If your injury is very serious, let’s not compete for the time being. It’ll be unfair to you. We can compete after you recover.”
Qiao Xi sneered. “So you don’t want to compete anymore, Miss He?”
He Wenxian was stunned for a moment, her eyes becoming filled with panic. Of course, she did not want to compete, but…
Her face turned pale, and a layer of sweat seeped out of her forehead. She suppressed her panic and bit her lip to retort, “Xi Xi, I want to postpone the competition because I’m worried about your hand. Why are you saying that I don’t want to compete? Now that you’re injured, how are you going to continue the competition? If news of this gets out, others will say that I’m bullying you. What’s the point of me having the title of Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor? You can win this competition. If you really want this title, I can give it to you…”
Qiao Xi was angered to the point of laughing. She was just about to retort when an arrogant voice came from behind. It was the man who had been speaking up for He Wenxian.
“Qiao Xi! Don’t go too far with your words! Miss He is clearly worried about your injury, but you insist on being overbearing! Who knows if you really got into a car accident and got injured? I think you’re just looking for an excuse to avoid the competition!”
