Chapter 865: Steadily Keep It Back

In the afternoon, Huang Xiaochuan accompanied Zhang Gaolei to the hospital.

They happened to run into Qi Huan, who was visiting Huo Miao accompanied by Yu Xiang.

"What a coincidence!" Zhang Gaolei greeted Yu Xiang and Qi Huan.

Since they were all old acquaintances, Qi Huan directly stated her purpose: "My husband, Lao Ding, knew that my brother-in-law was hospitalized and couldn't come back, so he repeatedly told me to come and see him."

Zhang Gaolei praised, "Old Ding is a man of principle! He didn't say when he would be back?"

"Old Ding said he'll try to come back for the New Year, and he'll want to have drinks with you guys then." Since Qi Huan was also a classmate of Huang Xiaochuan and Zhang Gaolei, he naturally didn't need to hide anything.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Gaolei laughed: "Drinking? No problem, but I wonder how well he's improved his alcohol tolerance?"

The four of them talked as they walked toward the international ward.

Upon arriving at the inpatient area, the four of them were astonished to find a large crowd gathered outside Huo Miao's ward, spontaneously lining up with gifts or flowers in hand.

The four looked at each other in bewilderment, especially Huang Xiaochuan. Why were so many people suddenly visiting? Hadn't their relatives and friends come over a while ago? Who were these people? Huang Xiaochuan was also completely confused.

Seeing this, the four of them didn't rush to the ward. Besides, it looked like they couldn't get in anyway; look how many people were standing at the door.

Zhang Gaolei couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?" Zhang Gaolei also noticed that something was wrong. These people were clearly not his relatives or friends, because he could tell from the expression on his friend Huang Xiaochuan's face.

But Zhang Gaolei quickly guessed that these people were ostensibly visiting Huo Miao, but in reality, they were all there for Huang Xiaochuan. They wanted to curry favor with Huang Xiaochuan in this way. The aftereffects of the Xia family father and son turning themselves in were quite significant!

Huang Xiaochuan naturally guessed it, and his face immediately darkened.

My second sister's husband, Huo Miao, was in a car accident. Xia Zhengxing and his son Xia Xin turned themselves in and offered huge compensation. Although the matter was handled discreetly as much as possible, it couldn't be kept secret after all. Judging from the current situation, the matter has already spread throughout the Shanghai social circles.

These business people are all shrewder than monkeys; they all want to take this opportunity to get in touch with this richest man and, incidentally, do him a favor.

Visiting a patient is perfectly reasonable; who can say no? For these people, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Zhang Gaolei started complaining: "Wow, these people are treating this place like a social gathering?"

As the daughter-in-law of an official's family, Qi Huan was no stranger to this kind of scene, and she shook her head as well.

Huang Xiaochuan was somewhat annoyed. Huo Miao needed rest right now. Even when relatives and friends came to visit, they would make appointments in advance and come in batches at different times, just to avoid disturbing Huo Miao's rest as much as possible.

"Takamatsu."

Gao Song, who was standing not far away, immediately stepped forward: "Mr. Huang!"

Huang Xiaochuan instructed, "Go tell the hospital that this is the international ward area, and it needs to be quiet. Except for immediate family members and those with the attending physician's approval, no other unrelated personnel are allowed to enter the ward for visits. Please ask the hospital to assist in persuading these people to leave as soon as possible."

"Understood, I'll go right now!" Gao Song immediately turned around to make the arrangements.

Huang Xiaochuan said to Qi Huan and Zhang Gaolei, "Let's go stand on the balcony outside for a while, and then we'll go over after those people leave."

Soon, the hospital sent a person in charge and a team of security guards to the ward entrance to persuade visitors to leave. The security guards were gentle but firm in their attitude.

This naturally displeased some people, who emphasized that they were Director Huo's friends or partners.

Unfortunately, the security guards didn't care about any of that. They just kept emphasizing that it was hospital policy and that if anyone wanted to visit, they should contact the patient's family first.

These people had no choice but to leave disappointed, but the gifts and flowers remained, leaving the corridor piled high with them.

Zhang Gaolei peeked out, smiled, and shook his head: "These people!"

About twenty minutes later, the people in the corridor were all cleaned up.

Gao Song came over to report: "Mr. Huang, everyone has been asked to leave. I have arranged for someone to count the gifts and flowers. After counting, they will be temporarily placed in the empty room behind the nurses' station, and we will deal with them later."

"Hmm!" Huang Xiaochuan nodded.

After the four entered the ward, they saw Zeng Xia feeding Huo Miao water. Upon seeing them, Zeng Xia quickly invited them to sit down.

He even complained, "Why are you all here? Didn't I tell you, you have so much to do every day, don't come here every day?"

Huo Miao's face was still pale, but he seemed to be in good spirits. When he saw his brother-in-law and the others arrive, he blinked as a greeting.

Huang Xiaochuan smiled. It was alright; he could still recognize people, which meant his brain hadn't been greatly affected. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Huang Xiaochuan smiled. It was alright; he could still recognize people, which meant his brain hadn't been greatly affected. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Zeng Xia asked with lingering fear, "Little brother, a lot of people have come since this morning. I only know a few of them, and I don't know most of the others, but they all say they are your second brother-in-law's friends or business partners or something."

Huang Xiaochuan comforted him, "It's alright now. I've already had the hospital handle it, and no one will be able to come in and disturb your brother-in-law's rest anymore. If this happens again, just ask the nurses to call for help. Don't feel embarrassed; there's no need for strangers to come and visit."

"I understand!" Zeng Xia nodded.

At this moment, Zhang Gaolei sat on the edge of the bed, took Huo Miao's hand, and asked, "Brother-in-law, do you still recognize me?"

Huo Miao blinked, as if to say that he knew him.

Zhang Gaolei smiled as soon as he saw it: "Not bad, not bad, you're recovering very well. Brother-in-law, don't worry about anything. Let's get well soon, and I'll treat you to a drink when you're fully recovered."

Huo Miao's face twitched; he was trying to laugh, but due to some damage to his facial nerves, the laugh looked forced and awkward.

At this moment, Huo Miao took out a card from his person and stuffed it under his pillow.

"It's just a small token of my appreciation, don't be shy, we're all family here." He then gently patted Huo Miao's hand.

At this moment, Huo Miao looked at Zeng Xia, who naturally understood what the man meant and quickly thanked Zhang Gaolei.

"I'm so sorry."

Huang Xiaochuan, standing to the side, said, "It's alright. Old Zhang is right. He's not an outsider. He gave it to us, so we should accept it without worry."

Qi Huan also stepped forward to express her condolences and handed an envelope to Zeng Xia: "Second sister, this is a small token of my and my Ding Yi's appreciation."

"Thank you! Thank you!" Zeng Xia knew the relationship between the group, so she didn't refuse.

"Second sister, you're too kind. There's no need for such formalities among our families. My husband, Lao Ding, said that he'll let my brother-in-law recover and come to see him again when he comes back for the New Year."

"Thank you so much!" Zeng Xia said again, expressing her gratitude.
