After withdrawing his hand, Zhou Qingzhi leaned in and whispered, "Ouyang Hao has to stay at the hospital to look after Qin Ya, so he didn't come."
Xu Ke nodded to show he understood. Whether the Ouyang Family came or not didn't make much difference.
"It's a shame," Zhou Qingzhi added with regret. "It's always livelier with more people. Hao Zi could've come to be your cheerleader and boost your morale."
Xu Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
The Family Head of a major clan acting as my cheerleader? What a joke.
Zhou Qingzhi chuckled, then looked around with feigned surprise. "I heard that while I was gone, you…"
Clearly, Zhou Qingzhi was asking about Xu Ke forcing Shi Hongda to injure himself.
Xu Ke nodded. "Look," he said, pointing unabashedly toward the Huang Family's section. "That old geezer is still over there spitting up blood."
