Chapter 710 How can Zhong Yi turn things around?
Huo Sijiao moved the corners of her lips, and her eyes urged him to speak quickly.
As a bystander, Qiao Xi had already seen the clues.
She covered her lips and coughed twice, and waves of abnormal heat came over her body.
She lowered her head and listened silently to Xie Xubai setting a trap for Huo Sijiao.
"Come on, tell me, do you want to keep it a secret?"
Xie Xubai said leisurely, "This method is what Young Master Sun mentioned last night."
When Huo Sijiao heard this, she turned off the engine.
Young Master Sun said that if Xie Xubai had found a wife with a similar background and who could withstand the pressure from the Pei family, he wouldn't have to marry Pei Chun.
She is the best candidate.
Huo Sijiao's expression was a little unnatural: "Is there no other way?"
“No more.”
Xie Xubai said softly, "This is also a bad idea. You don't have to take it to heart. Marrying Pei Chun is just a matter of time. There's no need to sacrifice you as well. Things haven't reached the final stage yet. There's always a chance of a turnaround."
"You guys in the Xie family don't divorce easily after getting married, right?"
Huo Sijiao had heard of all the rules in his family, and each one of them made a woman very excited.
"The rules are as follows. There will be no divorce unless the woman makes a principled mistake."
"Then Pei Chun must be so happy that he might even laugh out loud in his dreams." Huo Sijiao felt so angry when she thought of this.
She took Qiao Xi's presence into consideration and did not explain her words clearly.
He just looked at Xie Xubai and said, "May the best of luck come to you. If you really have no other options, you can ask my brother for help. If your Xie family suffers, our Huo family will not be able to escape either. We'll leave first."
"Take care."
"Sister-in-law, let's go."
Qiao Xi nodded slightly, and before leaving, she suddenly asked, "Mr. Xie, how is your old lady's condition? When will Shen... When will Shen Xuanzhi be free?"
In the entire imperial capital, there is only one trustworthy Chinese medicine practitioner, Shen Xuanzhi.
It is impossible for Qiao Xi to spend all her time on medicinal food every day, as there are two people in her family with more serious illnesses.
"It will probably take another three or four days, and then we won't need such frequent treatments."
"Okay, thank you for letting me know."
"You're welcome."
Qiao Xi took Huo Sijiao's hand and walked out. Huo Sijiao turned around and glanced at the gentleman as handsome as jade.
Well, Xie Xubai is really good-looking.
Very elegant and refined appearance of the Republic of China.
No wonder Pei Chun has been thinking about it for so long!
The orchid and jade tree are as delicate as a gem.
Huo Sijiao's thoughts also moved slightly.
…
And in another place in the imperial capital.
After Lu Yingxue came out of the hospital, she changed cars several times and cautiously went to a cafe to meet Zhong Lingxiao.
The bodyguard opened the glass door.
Lu Yingxue walked in with a cold face and sat in front of Zhong Lingxiao.
"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?" Zhong Lingxiao held the mug and took a sip.
The cafe is filled with the rich aroma of coffee and the sound of soft music.
But Lu Yingxue became more and more irritated. She took a sip of the coffee brought by the waiter and almost burned her tongue.
Bang!
She put the coffee cup on the table in annoyance.
He took a deep breath before speaking.
"Zhong Yi is indeed still alive. He is conscious, but he looks seriously injured. Excessive blood loss will have many sequelae, but I don't know the specifics."
Zhong Lingxiao tapped the cup lightly with his fingers, a fierce look flashing across his face. "He's still alive, what a lucky guy!"
Lu Yingxue was both relieved and annoyed that Zhong Yi was still alive.
She wished she was dead!
But Zhong Yi can only die in her hands to show his true loyalty to Zhong Lingxiao.
"It's all that bitch Qiao Xi's fault! She left the banquet last night to save Zhong Yi! If I had known she was going to Shisanwan Pier, I would..." Lu Yingxue did not hide her anger and hostility.
If she had known earlier, she would have sent all the members of the Lu family out.
Taking advantage of the chaos at the Shisanwan Wharf, Qiao Xi was killed there as well!
This way, she will no longer have any problems.
How can I compete with a dead person?
pity!
Missed opportunity!
Zhong Lingxiao saw that she had a face full of resentment, and there was no trace of the fairy spirit of the former female Hua Tuo of the imperial capital.
Full of contempt.
"You want to kill Qiao Xi?"
Lu Yingxue asked back, "Don't you want to? If it weren't for her, Zhong Yi would be dead! She's ruined a lot of things for us. Qiao Xi can't live at all. If she dies, Huo Xingzhou and Zhong Yi will be in turmoil. Our Lu family has the final say in the Chinese Medicine Association. From now on, your knife will be even sharper."
Any one of them she picked up would be enough to cut Qiao Xi into pieces.
Qiao Xi's life is really a hindrance.
"You're right." Zhong Lingxiao's eyes fell on the nearby place. "I really want to see Zhong Yi in agony. My cruel and ruthless brother actually has such a loving side."
Zhong Lingxiao thought of Zhong Yi's actions and laughed heartily, saying, "I'm so homesick I don't recognize him when I meet him. He's done this much for a woman, which is enough to prove... Qiao Xi is his weak spot."
Lu Yingxue added fuel to the fire: "So, Qiao Xi must die."
For her own selfish reasons.
Also for the sake of the overall situation!
"The most important thing now is not how she died, but the position of heir to the Zhong family. Since Zhong Yi is not dead, you will be of use. He can't stay in the hospital forever. You should tamper with his daily diet and make sure he dies quietly."
Zhong Lingxiao's tone was low and sinister.
"It's just that Zhong Yi doesn't trust me that much..."
"The old man will definitely assign you to take care of Zhong Yi's health." Zhong Lingxiao said calmly, "The rest is up to you. If I don't have any skills, how can I trust the Lu family to help me ascend to the top?"
Zhong Lingxiao also looked down on Lu Yingxue deep down.
"I see."
Lu Yingxue held back her anger and said, "But I want to tell you that the Chinese Medicine Association is holding a free clinic at the end of the month. Qiao Xi will be in charge, and this is a good opportunity. There are too many people and it's chaotic. If we provoke those idiots, it will easily cause trouble. Are you sure you don't want to seize this opportunity?"
Dividing by one is also dividing, and dividing by a pair is also dividing.
What's the difference?
"Free clinic?" A glimmer flashed in Zhong Lingxiao's eyes.
The patients who come to the free clinic are more emotionally sensitive than ordinary people, and it is indeed easy for them to provoke trouble.
He didn't show much emotion, but said, "I understand. Let me think about it."
Lu Yingxue didn't know whether he agreed or not.
She asked, "Does the old man know about your alliance with the Pei family? He has always been very powerful. How could he let you..."
Zhong Lingxiao interrupted her, "Family infighting is all about the capable. Even if the old man knew, what could he do? My actions did not harm the interests of the Zhong family, and I even wooed the Pei family to my advantage. He also fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and he is not a good person."
Lu Yingxue glanced at him and thought to herself, who knows if cooperating with the Pei family would be like courting disaster.
It was rumored that Zhong Lingxiao had secured his position as heir this time.
Then...even if Zhong Yi is alive, it will be difficult for him to turn things around.
Unless Zhong Lingxiao made a big mistake.
And since Lin Xifei's baby is gone, Zhong Yi might be able to turn things around.
Lu Yingxue took two more sips of coffee, thought it over carefully, and finally became more determined to cooperate with Zhong Lingxiao.
…
The golden crow sets in the west.
The night spreads.
The black Rolls-Royce stopped at the gate of Huo's Garden.
Huo Sijiao in the living room raised her eyebrows at Qiao Xi.
Brother is back!
