Chapter 822 This is going to make things bigger

"Zhong...Zhong Lingxiao."

Lu Yingxue's voice trembled, and her instinctive reaction was fear.

The scene when Zhong Lingxiao wanted to strangle her to death was still vivid in her mind. She would never forget the feeling of being on the verge of death.

Lu Yingxue shrank back.

Zhong Lingxiao stared at her with those gloomy eyes, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"You're so embarrassed, Lu Yingxue. You remind me of a year ago. You were so high and mighty, and you looked down on me, the eldest son of the Zhong family, who was outshined by the illegitimate child. I remember you were so determined to get engaged to Zhong Yi that you even looked down on me."

Zhong Lingxiao was sarcastic.

Lu Yingxue clenched her hands into fists, feeling panicked and uneasy.

What on earth was he doing here?

"You were kicked out by Lu Bannong. Have you thought about your next plan?"

Hearing this question, Lu Yingxue was stunned: "What?"

"Oh, I forgot. You didn't know that yet." Zhong Lingxiao handed her the phone. "Ten years ago, cheating at the needle testing competition was confirmed. Lu Bannong has severed ties with you. The association's punishment has been handed down. You are banned from practicing medicine for life."

Lu Yingxue stared blankly at the words.

Was she kicked out of the Lu family?

There is nothing left.

It turns out that my father is really so cruel.

"This must be a play between you and your father. I checked your bank card, and it's not frozen. The assets under your name haven't been reclaimed either. It seems like you and your father really have a lot of secrets to hide from me."

"Zhong Lingxiao, are you here to ridicule me?"

Lu Yingxue looked at him with red eyes. She had come this far.

"Since you have nowhere else to go, you can be my lover. The old man still needs your help. You don't want to see Zhong Yi take the top spot, do you?" Zhong Lingxiao was still a little skeptical. "You cheated to get the championship, so can you fulfill my request?"

This is a humiliation!

Lu Yingxue said coldly, "I do have real skills! It's just a drug that can't be detected, so it can be done naturally. But I don't want to be your lover, I want to be your nominal wife."

"You have quite an appetite. Why?"

"Zhong Lingxiao, I know so much about you. You..."

"Lu Yingxue, I'll crush you like an ant. Lu Yingxue was driven out of the Lu family and was heartbroken, so she tried to commit suicide. Do you think everyone would believe this?"

Lu Yingxue's heart trembled.

What Zhong Lingxiao said was true.

Lu Yingxue's throat tightened, and she asked softly, "If I help you poison the old man, what will you give me in return?"

"What do you want? Returning to the traditional Chinese medicine profession is impossible, and I won't marry you. The most I can do is give you some money so you can live a good life abroad. Maybe with your beauty and skills, you can even hook up with a nobleman."

Zhong Lingxiao's words were very decisive.

Don't give Lu Yingxue any hope.

"I have money too." Lu Yingxue said in a deep voice, "But don't let me down. You must not let Zhong Yi become the head of the Zhong family. Also, after you take control of the Zhong family, you must help the Lu family."

"What a deep father-daughter love."

Zhong Lingxiao smiled, "That depends on whether your poison works. The ward has been under tighter surveillance lately, with only family members and doctors allowed in. The drug you prepared must be undetectable to others, not even Huang Bingyi. Can you do that?"

"Can."

Lu Yingxue did have some confidence. She and Lu Bannong had tried many medicines over the years. Some of them were found to be non-toxic, but for an old man lying in a critically ill state, they were deadly.

"I'll prepare what you want as soon as I'm discharged from the hospital, but first you have to prepare a laboratory for me and buy everything I want. My father can't know about this."

"good."

Zhong Lingxiao was very pleased with her sensible approach. "I've prepared everything, and no one will know it was you who did it. After the job is done, I'll send you abroad. After a few years, when the storm has died down, I'll bring you back. By then, you'll still be the eldest daughter of the Lu family."

Lu Yingxue's voice was slightly hoarse. "Anyway... we can't go back to the way things were. It's all because of that bitch Qiao Xi."

She has not had a good life since she arrived in the imperial capital.

Zhong Lingxiao patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't let that bitch have an easy time. She is Zhong Yi's sweetheart, and my mortal enemy. I really want to see Zhong Yi's grief-stricken look."

Lu Yingxue bit her lip, almost drawing blood from the corner of her lip.

These people must die!

"Oh, by the way, I heard some very interesting news. You seem to be an illegitimate child. Then who is your biological mother? I vaguely heard from the elders that your father, Lu Bannong, was very close to Cheng Han's daughter. Is that true?"

Zhong Lingxiao's words hit her heart like a hammer. Lu Yingxue slowly turned her head and looked at him: "How did you know?"

"Xiang Mingzhu is not tight-lipped. I was able to find out some of the things I wanted to investigate in the capital. Was the woman in the last round of the needle testing competition Cheng Han's daughter?"

"yes."

"Then she is your biological mother, and she is in Qiao Xi's hands. Can you use this to your advantage and do something?"

Lu Yingxue said disdainfully, "What can that crazy woman do? My father locked her up in the Chinese Medicine Association for more than 20 years, and she holds a grudge against me. What can she do for me?"

"Blood ties cannot be severed. Think about it."

Zhong Lingxiao knows when to stop. He is more scheming than others and uses the clues and connections around him to achieve his goals.

He stood up, looked at Lu Yingxue and said, "Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, your father will hold a press conference to respond to recent events. Take a good look, none of the successful people are soft-hearted."

Lu Yingxue gritted her teeth, her father was going to sacrifice the car to save the driver!

He completely drew a line between himself and her, and at the same time, established his own image of being a man who puts justice above personal interests, in order to restore some reputation for the Lu family.

Playing the victim and emotional cards are most effective against these online clamorers.

Lu Yingxue took a deep breath, and the air felt like a sharp knife cutting her throat.

…

Night falls at the Huo family.

Sun Weimeng walked down the stairs with a tired look on his face. He poured himself a full glass of water and drank it down in one gulp.

Only then did my smoking throat feel a little better.

He spent most of the day explaining to Cheng Qingnian how to use various mobile phone apps, including some social apps. The two of them would argue from time to time, as he really despised Cheng Qingnian's love-brained nature.

He saw Huo Xingzhou looking through some documents in the living room and couldn't help but complain, "Even after all I've said, she's still itching to go out! She can't wait to see the new world."

Huo Xingzhou flipped the page lightly and said nonchalantly, "You can tell her that Lu Bannong will hold a press conference tomorrow, and check the route for her."

"ha?"

Sun Weimeng's hand holding the teacup paused, and the thought of it was terrifying.

He turned his head and met Huo Xingzhou's deep and calm eyes. Is he going to cause trouble?
