Chapter 22 - Stunning Beauty

As Ama said, the screenshot was horribly blurry, but Si Shenxing only took a quick glance and Xia Zhuozhuo's face appeared in his mind. Their profiles were exactly the same! Could it be that this woman, who was known as a miracle doctor, was the beauty he had been looking for for a long time? However, this seemed unlikely. On that night in his memory, the lady accidentally took a drug, and the two of them had a "natural" physical relationship by the hot spring, and they both gave each other their first time. And this miracle doctor lady, who was proficient in pharmacology, how could she be easily affected by that kind of drug? After all, even those old and stubborn diseases could be cured by her, so how could a mere drug stump her? The logic behind this is really puzzling. Could it be that they are just similar, and they are not the same person? Si Shenxing tapped the tablet lightly with his slender fingertips twice, then looked up at Ama and asked slowly: "Can this photo be restored to a high-definition version through technical means?" "Theoretically, it can, but it takes time." Ama replied. "How long?" Si Shenxing's tone was a little anxious. "Because the photo is too blurry, I estimate that it will take at least 72 hours." Ama said with a little embarrassment. "Seventy-two hours, I can wait." Si Shenxing's tone was firm and decisive. After all, he has been waiting for a year, and a mere three days is nothing to worry about? "Okay, arrange the restoration immediately!" Si Shenxing ordered in a deep voice. After speaking, he turned and asked: "What about the bad news you mentioned?" After mentioning this, Ama remembered that there was something he had not reported. His face darkened and he said: "As I expected, the Xia family has contacted the chairman and mentioned the child marriage." Hearing this, Si Shenxing's face instantly darkened. When the Xia family was at its peak, did they ever mention this marriage? Now that the family has fallen on hard times, they remembered this and clearly wanted to "sell" their daughter to them in order to revive their past glory. "They want to sell their daughter, but they didn't even ask if I'm willing to buy it." Si Shenxing's tone was full of disdain and disgust. "The chairman just called. What he meant was that although the Xia family is now in decline, the Xia family's character is still good. He hopes you can seriously consider this marriage." A Mai relayed it truthfully. Si Shenxing's face became uglier and uglier: "Call the Xia family and tell them that I will visit them in person tomorrow afternoon." A Mai was stunned when he heard this: "Do you really want to consider this marriage?" "No, I'm going to cancel the engagement." Si Shenxing said firmly. After speaking, he slowly lowered the car window and let the breeze outside the car blow on his face. The first step to enter Shanghai has been taken. Next, it is to make drastic changes to the Shanghai branch. Most of the branches here are old subordinates of Si Jinyan, and they are bound to obstruct in every possible way. A new tough battle is inevitable. ... At the same time, the Xia family. Xia Zhuozhuo took a taxi and slowly drove to her home. Xia Liu had been waiting at the door, looking forward to it. Seeing her appear, he hurriedly went forward: "Zhuozhuo, you are back! Where have you been all day? Why didn't you buy some clothes for yourself?" Didn't Xiaoqi go out this time to buy clothes for herself? Xia Zhuozhuo looked down at herself, and suddenly remembered that she was still wearing the clothes of the country woman. At that time, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the villagers who were fighting the fire, she had to change into this dress. Unexpectedly, she wore it for a whole day. No wonder those people looked at her with the eyes of a beggar. Xia Zhuozhuo took off her coat and threw it into the trash can without hesitation. "I forgot." She said lightly. "That's great! Mom sent a lot of clothes. See if you like any of them." Xia Liu said as he pulled Xia Zhuozhuo into the living room. There were several rows of clothes neatly arranged in the living room, just like a small clothing store. And every piece of clothing was exquisite and amazing. The Xia family must be in a tight financial situation now, but they are still willing to spend so much money to buy clothes for her. Xia Zhuozhuo's originally cold and hard heart seemed to have a warm current flowing slowly. She picked a plain cheongsam from the middle and went upstairs to change into it. The cheongsam was embroidered with exquisite white begonia patterns, which outlined her graceful figure more delicately. After changing into the cheongsam, Xia Zhuozhuo simply rolled up her long hair, washed her face by the way, and then opened the door and walked out. Xia Liu was waiting at the door. When he saw her, he raised his eyelids slightly and froze in place for a moment. The girl in front of him had an extraordinary temperament, and the plain cheongsam outlined her slender figure even more gracefully. The long hair that was originally scattered on her shoulders was pulled up high, revealing her slender swan neck. And that face, the eyebrows and eyes were like paintings, as if she was a peerless beauty from the old times. Even Xia Liu, who had already known that Xia Zhuozhuo had delicate features, could not help but be shocked by her beauty. Compared with Xia Liuli, Zhuozhuo was simply a fairy from heaven. "Xiao Qi, you are so beautiful!" Xia Liu exclaimed sincerely. Xia Zhuozhuo never cared about her appearance, otherwise she would not have been bare-faced all day long and never put on makeup. She smiled politely and asked, "Sixth brother, is mom awake?" "She's awake. When you were changing clothes just now, she asked Aunt Xu to send her a bowl of porridge. It seems that her appetite has recovered a lot." Xia Liu replied. Xia Zhuozhuo said "hmm" softly and handed the Qianxun grass brought back from the Du family to Xia Liu: "This is the medicinal material I bought for mom just now. Put it in the medicine pot I boiled for her at the beginning, and boil it for another half an hour before sending it to mom. I'll go see her first." "So you went to buy medicine for mom?" Xia Liu's tone was a little sad. This sister is too sensible, which makes people feel distressed. "I'll go and boil the medicine now!" Xia Liu took the medicinal materials and turned to the kitchen. And Xia Zhuozhuo also walked to the door of Mrs. Xia's room. She was about to knock on the door, but the door was opened from the inside. The person who opened the door was Aunt Xu. After the Xia family encountered an accident, most of the servants were dismissed. Now, besides housekeeper Xia, only Aunt Xu is left in the family. "Miss Seven." Aunt Xu greeted with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness and kindness. Because when she was a child, she was Xia Zhuozhuo's wet nurse. Although Xia Zhuozhuo had no impression of Aunt Xu, she could feel her kindness. "You are Aunt Xu, right? Thank you for your hard work." Xia Zhuozhuo said politely. Aunt Xu's eyes were slightly red: "It's not hard, this is what I should do. If it weren't for the Xia family, my son would have died of illness because he couldn't get enough medical expenses... So no matter what happens, my husband and I will not leave the Xia family." It turned out that housekeeper Xia was Aunt Xu's husband. Xia Zhuozhuo suddenly realized that it was no wonder that among the many servants, only the two of them chose to stick to it. But she vowed to let them know that staying would be their wisest decision. "I'll go into the house to see my mother first." Xia Zhuozhuo said softly. "Okay, okay, go and have a look. Madam just told me to invite you." The servants responded repeatedly. Xia Zhuozhuo nodded slightly and stepped into the house. She already knew that Madam Xia, Ning Suixiang, was the daughter of the famous Ning family in Kyoto. When she was young, she had a beauty that made the world pale in comparison, and the Ning family had high hopes for her. However, Ning Suixiang resolutely chose Xia Yunhai, who was just an ordinary civil servant at the time, as her life partner. On the wedding day, the Ning family resolutely broke off relations with her because of dissatisfaction with the marriage. When Xia Zhuozhuo walked into the room, Ning Suixiang had just hung up the phone, with a gentle light in her eyes. "Xiaoqi, you are back? This cheongsam really makes you more beautiful." Ning Suixiang's words were full of love. In the past, she always dreamed of dressing her daughter up as a little princess in a fairy tale, but unfortunately, that happy time was too short and passed in a flash. "Do you like the clothes I picked for you?" Ning Suixiang asked expectantly. "Of course I like it." Xia Zhuozhuo responded. "This is just the first batch, and more will be delivered later." Ning Suixiang continued. "I can't wear so many clothes..." Xia Zhuozhuo was a little helpless. "If you can't wear them, just hang them up for appreciation. Girls should have a full closet of clothes." Ning Suixiang held Xia Zhuozhuo's hand, her eyes fixed on her face, as if she could never see enough. Xia Zhuozhuo was a little unaccustomed to such a gaze, so she changed the subject and said, "How do you feel now?" Ning Suixiang smiled as warmly as before: "I feel full of strength, not like before, my mind is not confused." "I know some medical skills, I will slowly help you regulate your body in the future, I believe you will be fully recovered soon." Xia Zhuozhuo said. Ning Suixiang nodded when she heard it. For her, her daughter's medical skills are not important, what is important is her daughter's filial piety. She motioned Xia Zhuozhuo to sit beside the bed and spoke slowly: "Xiao Qi, Mommy has something very important to tell you."
