Chapter 529 Is This Temptation Great?

"What are your plans for asking Mingzhu and Li Song? Just now downstairs, I saw that you seemed to have only told half of the story."

That half can fool Mr. Sun, but it can't fool her.

Qiao Xi looked up at his cold, pale face, feeling somewhat smug.

Huo Xingzhou sat beside her bed, looked at her seriously and praised her, "The little doctor has become smarter. She was so easy to fool before."

"Hurry up and tell me."

Huo Xingzhou held her left hand and whispered, "Xiang Mingzhu wants to win the first prize in the needle testing competition!"

“No wonder…”

Qiao Xi recalled Xiang Mingzhu's strange expression. She said that she was happy to see Lu Yingxue and her in trouble because they were both competitors.

Qiao Xi frowned and asked, "But why is Xiang Mingzhu competing with Lu Yingxue for the position? Xiang Mingzhu's strength is not as good as Lu Yingxue's, how could she possibly win! The Lu and Xiang families only need to ensure that one of them is the leader. Do they need to fight among themselves?"

Internal strife will cause chaos.

Lu Bannong would definitely not allow this to happen.

Could it be that Xiang Mingzhu...

"Xiang Mingzhu is selfish." Huo Xingzhou stretched out his finger, gently smoothed her brow and said, "Xiang Mingzhu doesn't dare let them know. Little did she know that Lu Bannong's arrangement was the best. In the second round, she bribed Li Songwen and we've already found clues. This time bomb will explode whenever I want it to!"

"Then why keep it for Xiang Mingzhu..." Qiao Xi looked at him deeply, wanting an answer.

"Let them fight each other. They bully and harm you. I can't wipe out the four major families at once, but I can always give you a big gift in return."

This great gift is the champion of the needle testing conference.

Huo Xingzhou's lips curled up into a cold smile: "I hope Xiang Mingzhu won't let us down."

Qiao Xi slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "Why does Xiang Mingzhu insist on getting the first place?"

She can't figure it out!

The Xiang family and the Lu family are closely related, and it will also be beneficial for the Xiang family if Lu Yingxue wins the championship.

"Because someone promised her that if she won the first place in the needle testing competition, she would be given the position of the Zhong family's young lady. Isn't that a big temptation?"

Qiao Xi's breath was choked.

I remembered that elegant and noble man after a long time.

Her pupils narrowed slightly: "Did Master Zhong say that?"

"yes."

"Why is Mr. Zhong..." What good will it do for the Zhong family to stir up disputes among the cousins?

Things seem to be getting more and more complicated.

"He also has selfish motives. This selfish motive... maybe one day you will understand." Huo Xingzhou didn't want to say anything good for his rival who was trying to poach his girlfriend, but he admired Zhong Yi's beauty trick.

A little effort can achieve great results without bloodshed!

Perhaps after the incident, everyone would feel that Zhong Yi was scheming and calculating, and had other intentions.

But only Huo Xingzhou knew that he just wanted his childhood sweetheart to win the game, nothing more.

No one in the imperial capital could have guessed what he was thinking!

After hearing what he said, Qiao Xi stopped thinking about it.

She and Zhong Yi had no close relationship, but there were many secrets between the two men. She still remembered their last late-night secret meeting. Anyway, Huo Xingzhou would never harm her.

She yawned lightly.

Huo Xingzhou slowly lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips: "Go to sleep first. I'll call you when dinner is ready."

"Hmm."

Qiao Xi responded with a heavy nasal tone, her eyelids heavy.

Sleepiness swept over her, but she still had convulsions in her dreams. Clearly, today's events had had a profound impact on her, and she was only pretending to be strong on the surface.

Huo Xingzhou sat by the bed for a long time before leaving.

In the corridor.

The lights flickered.

He took out his cell phone and dialed a number he liked.

The call was quickly picked up by the other end. Huo Xingzhou's voice was low and slow, but full of coldness: "Don't bother Li Songwen, I have my own plans."

Zhong Yi's voice was also very cold: "If you call me five minutes later, I will send someone to beat Li Songwen to death."

He, a member of the Zhong family, cannot touch the Xiang family for the time being, so can't he beat Li Songwen quietly?

Zhong Yi's tone was filled with strong anger: "What happened today was because I was too conceited. I thought Xiang Mingzhu was completely open with me, but I didn't expect she was hiding something."

I'm not completely love-brained when it comes to my family.

Huo Xingzhou casually leaned against the side of the corridor and said, "The Lu family runs the Chinese Medicine Association like an iron bucket. My people can't get in. Different industries are like different mountains. Qiao Xi can only make her own way in this field."

"Huo Xingzhou, are you so willing to give it up?"

Zhong Yi sneered, "I don't think you love her that much at all."

Huo Xingzhou's long eyelashes fluttered: "She is going to become a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the future."

Traditional Chinese medicine cannot grow in a greenhouse.

He couldn't bear to see her suffer.

But what she couldn't bear even more was that her wings were broken.

Huo Xingzhou naturally wanted her to return to Haicheng and become a carefree Mrs. Huo from then on.

But Qiao Xi didn't.

She wanted to be the national doctor Qiao Xi, not a vassal of Huo Xingzhou.

She wanted to reach the top.

"Zhong Yi, you can't forget what she wants under the guise of doing good for her."

Zhong Yi didn't say anything for a long time.

After a long while, a jealous remark came: "You are the most capable."

Huo Xingzhou laughed, which was mixed with many meanings.

…

On the other side, in the club's private room, Zhong Yi hung up the phone.

He laughed when he was extremely angry.

He put his phone upside down on the table, not wanting to answer any calls at all.

Wan Jiang asked cautiously, "Master Zhong, do we still need to send someone to fight Li Songwen?"

"What are you fighting for? Retreat."

Zhong Yi's expression was cold, a layer of frost covering his jade-like face. "Isn't Huo Xingzhou the most capable? Let him handle it. I want to see what he does with Li Songwen."

Wan Jiang didn't dare to comment too much, but just bent down and reminded quietly: "Miss Lu is here."

Zhong Yi relaxed his expression.

He knew Lu Yingxue would come to see him.

Lu Yingxue was humiliated today when the fake golden needle incident was exposed. This was an unprecedented humiliation for her, the elegant and refined female Hua Tuo.

People on the Internet may defend her and not take it seriously.

But how could Lu Yingxue, who was surrounded by people and was so proud and arrogant, swallow this humiliation?

It would be terrible if she didn't come to see him.

Wan Jiang walked to the door of the box and opened it respectfully.

Lu Yingxue walked in wearing a draped light blue dress with a short, fragrant coat draped over it. The early autumn night was slightly chilly, so she took off her coat and set it aside as soon as she entered.

"Ms. Lu, please take a seat."

Wan Jiang moved the chair next to her away. "You haven't had dinner yet, right? Here's the menu. Master Zhong said he's waiting for you to order."

Lu Yingxue said "thank you" in a somewhat cold manner.

She picked up the menu and slowly flipped through it. The menu offered a fusion of Japanese and Western cuisine. Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, she could see the bustling night scene of the imperial capital outside.

Lu Yingxue ordered a dish of crab meat with sea urchin caviar and a dish of mashed potatoes with black truffle.

He placed the menu in front of Zhong Yi, his willow-shaped eyes clear as he looked at Zhong Yi inquiringly and asked.

"Don't you have anything you want to explain to me?"
