Chapter 525: Chapter 514: The Tardy Arrival of Zhan Qipei
Zhan Qipei’s figure appeared in the sight of the few present.
Upon spotting Xu Mogian seated at the bedside, his expression instantly darkened, and he strode quickly
towards the bed, his face cold like a bitter wind.
“Move aside.”
Xu Mogian initially did not want to get up, but considering the need for quiet in the hospital room and Qiao Jing’s
current physical condition, it could not bectoo noisy.
If he did not move and thereby caused an argument with Zhan Qipei, Qiao Jing would be the biggest victim.
Taking this into account, Xu Mogian reluctantly stood up.
Zhan Qipei glanced at the space Xu Mogian had cleared for him, his dark eyes deepened, and his sharp gaze
landed on the other man.
“You, get out.”
Xu Mogian, unwilling to back down, locked eyes with Zhan Qipei in defiance.
“Why should I leave? I'm here to see Sister Jing. On the contrary, why don’t you explain why you're so late?”
He had already made so much space, and Zhan Qipei, the kid, should know better!
Hearing Xu Mogian’s words, Zhan Qipei pursed his thin lips, a sense of guilt welling up again inside him as he
looked at Qiao Jing’s pale face.
“Sorry, | was in a meeting.”
When Qiao Jing cto the hospital, he had been in a meeting.
Aside from Qiao Jing’s calls and messages, he had blocked all other communications during the meeting.
Thus, it was only after the meeting that he had learned about Qiao Jing fainting.
Qiao Jing clearly saw the apology that surfaced in Zhan Qipei’s eyes and gently shook her head to indicate it was
okay.
Turning one’s phone on silent during a meeting is basic etiquette; even if Zhan Qipei did not cto the
hospital, she would not have minded.
After all, it was just stomach pain, nothing serious; she did not want to hinder anyone's work.
Xu Mogian folded his arms, reclaiming the space he had given up.
“So a meeting is more important than Sister Jing, huh? Now that you're late, | can take care of Sister Jing; I'm the
one who poured her water.”
Lu Zijiao, seeing this, immediately spoke up for Zhan Qipei.
“Xu Mogian, you better get up. Her husband is here; do you want to be a third wheel?”

Even though Zhan Qipei arrived last, being his brother, he had to back him up.
Xu Mogian glared fiercely at Lu Zijiao.
“What business is it of yours? Why don’t you mind your own business? Taking care of Sister Jing is my rightful
duty, isn't it?”
He didn’t care about any Lu Family or not, even if the Lu Family was as prominent as his; he wasn’t afraid of
Zhan Qipei, so why would he fear the Lu Family?
Lu Zijiao immediately rolled up his sleeves and took a few steps forward, intending to pull Xu Mogian up.
“Stop talking nonsense. Just now callingthat annoying nicknwas bad enough, now you wanna stick
around and be a third wheel in front of my brother? I've only ever understood that spouses look after each other
by right; you're not her husband, so if anyone's causing a fuss, it’s you, right?”
Moreover, this involved not just the two of them, they both had children now, which was a complete change from
the past.
When Xu Mogian called him that most disliked nicknearlier, he had already felt irritated; now trying to be a
third wheel in front of his brother, he definitely couldn't tolerate it!
Xu Mogian dodged Lu Zijiao’s hand and looked at Qiao Jing pleadingly, inching closer to her.
“Sister Jing! Save me!”
Qiao Jing glanced indifferently at Xu Mogian and suppressed the smile tugging at her lips.
The quarrel between Lu Zijiao and Xu Mogian was somewhat amusing.
Zhan Qipei slightly narrowed his dark eyes, his expression so gloomy it seemed like water could drip from it, and
his aura grew increasingly chilly and imposing.
“It’s too noisy, get out.”
Lu Zijiao shivered, touched the goosebumps rising on his skin, and muttered,
“Why did it suddenly get so cold...”
He glanced at Zhan Qipei and felt a shiver as he sensed the powerful aura emanating from him.
Lu Zijiao did not bother with Xu Mogian anymore and quickly retreated behind Lu Zijin.
Xu Mogian had also noticed this point, and even though he felt slightly afraid inside, he still stood his ground and
continued to confront Zhan Qipei.
Who's afraid of whom?
As a result, a few minutes later, the oppressive atmosphere around Zhan Qipei deepened even further.
Xu Mogian’s eyes began to sting and swell, and involuntarily, goosebumps broke out all over his body.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and, under Zhan Qipei’s intimidating pressure, stood up reluctantly.
“Fine, fine, fine, if you want to sit here, then sit. I'll just go get another chair to sit on, okay?”
Zhan Qipei coldly glanced at Xu Mogian, his gaze then shifting to Lu Zijin.
Besides him, there were three other men in the hospital room, two of whom were his romantic rivals.
He couldn’t allow so many people to keep watching over Qiao Jing.
“All of you, get out.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Mogian immediately grew resentful.
“Zhan Qipei, what do you mean by this? | chere to visit Sister Jing. What right do you have to kickout?”
He hadn’t seen Qiao Jing for several days. If it weren't for his grandfather noticing the scattered meals in Qiao
Jing’s lab and checking the surveillance to find out about this, who then helped him find the room number, giving
him a hard-earned opportunity to visit.
He certainly didn’t want to be driven out so easily.
When Lu Zijin received Zhan Qipei’s unfriendly look, he didn’t make too much of a statement.
“The patient needs to rest, let's go out first.”
He paused, glanced at Zhan Qipei who was guarding by Qiao Jing’s side, and slowly spoke.
“Family members stay behind to look after the patient.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Zijiao immediately headed towards the door.
He was already reluctant to continue

Lu Zijin and Lu Zijiao both left the hospital room, leaving Xu Mogian as the only superfluous person.
Qiao Jing, watching the two men glare at each other, helplessly touched her forehead.
“Fourth brother, you go out first. I'm fine.”
She was very clear about Zhan Qipei’s domineering nature. If Xu Mogian didn’t leave, he would continue to
scowl.
Seeing that Qiao Jing had spoken, Xu Mogian gritted his teeth and stood up.

“Then, Sister Jing, I'll go out first. Callif you need anything. I'll be sitting outside.”
Qiao Jing gently nodded her head.
Once Xu Mogian had left, the oppressive atmosphere that lingered in the room finally dispersed.
Zhan Qipei moved the chair Xu Mogian had sat on to the side and brought a new chair to sit next to the hospital
bed.
“How is your body now? Do you still feel uncomfortable anywhere? Why didn’t you eat?”
It seemed that in the future, his duty would include making sure Qiao Jing ate her meals.
Qiao Jing, now accustomed to Zhan Qipei’s barrage of questions, answered each one in turn.
“It’s nothing, | was just busy at noon and didn’t eat.”
At that time, things were truly too urgent; she even fainted from pain before she could find any antacid.
Zhan Qipei knitted his brows, which appeared soft yet misty, his face showing deep concern.
