Chapter 369 Huo Xingzhou's Calculations
Zhou Yu's heart wavered as he said, "I'll do some more ideological work on myself."
Shu Xue asked, "Are you still adamant about not getting married? Have you ever fantasized about our married life?"
She wanted to know how much she meant to him.
Zhou Yu slowly stood up, took out a wet towel and wiped the tears from her face and said, "I'm not firm anymore. I'm wavering. Shuxue, I don't want to be separated from you like this. Can you give me some more time?"
Shu Xue burst into laughter and said, "You have come to this day!"
Zhou Yu nudged her with his elbow and said, "Who told me to enter the Spider Cave? The demons have boundless magical powers, and I, Tang Monk, can hardly resist them."
"Are you still Tang Monk? Where are your Xiaomei and Aru?"
"What about the cousin that Lao Jin introduced you to? We're both equally matched, so no one can blame the other." Zhou Yu's frustrations vanished, and he suddenly came to his senses and said, "That's not right. You were so determined to marry Qin Yuan, so why did you suddenly break up?"
There is something fishy here.
"His family wanted to get another marriage certificate for his son, but my family disagreed, so we started arguing!"
Zhou Yu sneered when he heard this: "Qin Yuan can no longer pretend, and his true colors have been exposed. He is a hypocrite, and he only wants your connections. I have advised you a long time ago..."
Shu Xue looked at him and said, "Zhou Yu, September will be here soon. I'll give you three months. If you don't want to get married, we're done. By the New Year, my aunts and uncles will definitely introduce me to many talented young men."
Zhou Yu suddenly felt his head was about to explode: "Okay."
Shu Xue smiled with satisfaction, and her heart felt as sweet as honey when she looked at him.
Aunt Qian hid in the kitchen for a while, and only came out after the alarm in the living room was lifted when she saw it. "Mr. Zhou, Ms. Shu, dinner is ready. Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. I'll go call the young master and the young mistress."
"Okay, I'll help you."
"Aunt Qian, I'll help too."
…
After dinner.
Qiao Xi and Shu Xue happily ran to the swimming pool to play in the water, leaving the living room space to the two men.
Zhou Yu leisurely took out the tea set, picked out a can of Ceylon black tea, and began to brew it.
Looks like a good mood.
Huo Xingzhou slowly lifted his eyelids, saw the small wound at the corner of his mouth and asked, "Are you getting married?"
Zhou Yu laughed: "Not yet. She's quite generous. She gave me three months to think it over. I'm sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment."
He did have the idea of getting married, but he hadn't thought it through yet.
"The locator you gave me is picking up activity. Xu Xingluo has been active at the cruise ship terminal recently. Perhaps he heard you say that the birthday party for Qiao Xi would be held on a luxury cruise ship. Our cruise ships are all docked there."
Zhou Yu analyzed: "Her motive is very clear. She must want to ruin the birthday party."
Huo Xingzhou took a sip of Ceylon black tea from the small purple clay cup and replied, "Hmm."
"Huo Er, I have a feeling this is killing two birds with one stone! First, it's allowing Xu Xingluo to expose his connections so we can wipe them out and eliminate future trouble. Second, I suspect you're trying to get information about your lifesaver from Xu Xingluo ten years ago. Third... I can't think of anything, but my intuition tells me it's not that simple."
Huo Xingzhou looked up at Zhou Yu and said, "After Xu Xingluo was arrested, did the Liu family use their connections to plead for him?"
"No."
"Did they kick someone when they were down?"
"No. What do you mean by that?"
Huo Xingzhou's eyes darkened as he said, "A dog I've raised for over twenty years suddenly bit its owner. The owner must have been furious at the time, but as time went on, he began to remember the good things about the dog."
"Are you trying to make things worse for the Liu family?"
Huo Xingzhou's tone was slightly cold, but he didn't deny it. "I want everyone in the Liu family to not have even the slightest thought of Xu Xingluo in their hearts. It would be best if they personally dealt with Xu Xingluo, even if it's just a memory in the future. They must think of Qiao Xi completely and choose Qiao Xi without hesitation between Xu Xingluo and Qiao Xi!"
Let Xu Xingluo continue to commit suicide!
Huo Xingzhou looked at him and said, "There are some secrets that our Huo family can't tell, and the Liu family doesn't dare to tell. But Xu Xingluo can. After she tells them, the Liu family will feel guilty towards Qiao Xi, and it will also give Qiao Xi a way out."
"Are you going to use Xu Xingluo to expose Qiao Xi's background?"
Zhou Yu really didn't expect this.
He calculates people's hearts to this extent.
"Zhou Yu. Whoever caused the trouble will have to clean it up."
Huo Xingzhou whispered a few words to him, "Do as this."
Zhou Yu glanced at him and nodded seriously: "I understand, there will be no mistakes."
The other side.
In the swimming pool in the backyard of the villa.
Qiao Xi scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on Shu Xue: "Have you reached an agreement with Mr. Zhou?"
Shu Xue regained her energy and said, "I'm young and beautiful, so give him another chance. I think he really can't bear to leave me, and he must be so jealous."
Qiao Xi laughed at her: "I don't know who was crying like that just now."
Shu Xue snorted coldly: "I can't compare to Dr. Qiao's smugness. Look at what people are saying about you on this forum." She handed over her phone, and the screen showed a traditional Chinese medicine forum.
After the Haicheng primary election of the needle trial conference, the trend of the forum changed.
Some people have also begun to take the level of traditional Chinese medicine apprentices seriously.
Especially after Xiang Mingzhu publicly admitted that the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles were not as good as the Nine Plum Blossom Needles, those long-silent followers of traditional Chinese medicine came out to support Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi's victory gave them hope.
But more people were trying to explain to Xiang Mingzhu that there was no acupuncture competition in the preliminary round, so it was just a joke among young people and didn't count. Everything would be decided in the finals.
If Qiao Xi could defeat Lu Yingxue, it would truly prove the power of the Nine Needles of Plum Blossom.
So a lot of people began to belittle Qiao Xi, saying that she was at most comparable to Xiang Mingzhu and was not even worthy of carrying Lu Yingxue's shoes.
Shu Xue sighed, "This Lu Yingxue looks like a fairy, and her medical skills are so superb. She shot to fame ten years ago. She holds free clinics every month in the imperial capital, and her reputation is astonishing! She's been doing this every day for ten years without interruption, making her a formidable opponent."
He is both capable and knows how to manage his reputation.
The smile in Qiao Xi's eyes faded a lot, and she said, "No matter what her reputation is, I will face the challenge head-on. Lu Yingxue is related to my grandmother's death. Xiang Huai once admitted that it was his cousin who ordered the clinic to be burned down."
Qiao Xi guessed that Lu Yingxue wanted to get rid of her, or at least destroy the clinic to prevent her from treating patients and gaining a good reputation.
There are only benefits and no harm.
"Qiao Xi, there is no evidence for what you said."
Qiao Xi looked at her with an extremely determined expression: "So I want to find evidence and ask her in person."
"I support you!" Shu Xue put her arm around her shoulders and said, "What gift do you want for your birthday? As long as it's not too expensive, I'll give it to you!"
"It would be nice if you just showed up!"
Qiao Xi looked at her and said with a smile.
"OK!"
…
Three days later, early September.
The birthday party of the Huo family's young lady was extremely grand!
