Chapter 571: Remember to Avoid Suspicion After Marriage
There was a faint expression on Qiao Xi's fair face, and she pursed her lips as she spoke.
"Miss Lu is a renowned female Hua Tuo in the imperial capital, and she is also Master Zhong's fiancée. She is the most suitable person to treat him, but his foundation is weak. I'm sure Miss Lu has a prescription for recuperation."
She didn't know whether the mysterious old man of the Zhong family was setting a trap for her.
But it is better to have less trouble than more.
Lu Yingxue smiled and said, "I'd also like to see Miss Qiao's acupuncture techniques. The acupuncture trial meeting was not enough. I've treated Ayi many times and I'd like to see if Miss Qiao has other methods so we can exchange and learn from each other."
Qiao Xi's tone was somewhat indifferent: "No wonder the Lu family's Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles have some shadows of the Sparrow Pecking Technique and the Nine Plum Blossom Needles. It turns out they were all learned through exchanges."
Lu Yingxue's expression faded, she bit her lip and said nothing more.
Why is this girl from Haicheng so sharp-tongued?
Old Master Zhong stroked his beard, his expression unchanged: "Zhong Yi, what do you say?"
Zhong Yi lowered his eyes and said, "I'm in good health, and I don't need Madam Huo to trouble me. Although doctors don't differentiate between men and women, I still need to avoid suspicion. After Yingxue and I get engaged, she will be better at recuperating for me."
The smile in Old Master Zhong's eyes grew even brighter. "I hope you'll remember to avoid suspicion when you get married in the future. Miss Qiao, you've been married before too. Since you've decided to get married, you should be faithful to your partner, right?"
Qiao Xixing's eyes flickered slightly, not quite understanding what the old man meant.
They are all very strange today.
She responded, "You're right. After getting married, you should be devoted to your partner and live a good life."
She didn't notice that Zhong Yi's eyes dimmed a little, and she hid it very quickly so that no one noticed.
Mr. Huang frowned and said impatiently, "Stop talking so much nonsense and put your hands down." He patted the old man's wrist very rudely.
"Two girls came to watch me give acupuncture and learn for themselves."
He is not a very patient master, so he needs to accept apprentices with high understanding and talent so as not to mislead his students.
"yes."
"Okay, Mr. Huang."
Qiao Xi and Lu Yingxue walked to Huang Bingyi's side, one on each side, and watched him give acupuncture to Old Master Zhong.
Zhong Yi felt a little bored and said, "I have some official business to take care of. I'll go to the study first."
"Go ahead."
Old Master Zhong had had enough of the scolding, so he kindly let him go.
I hope this kid can learn some lessons.
…
It's almost noon.
It is different from the hidden vortex of the Zhong family.
There has been an uproar online.
If something were to happen to the Xiang family, this giant shark in the ocean, it would affect many small and medium-sized enterprises and cause countless people to lose their jobs. The anxiety and restlessness were evident through online comments.
The group's front desk phone was about to explode with calls, but the front desk still kept saying they had nothing to say and were waiting for the press conference.
The press conference was scheduled for 12 noon and the media flocked to the event.
The media that were not invited were waiting outside, hoping to get some scraps to catch this wave of popularity.
So many people are paying attention to this press conference!
It just so happened that the address of this impromptu press conference was in the conference hall of Yunqi Hotel, which inevitably made people think differently.
Yunqi Hotel is owned by Xie Xubai.
At this time, the small cafe in the hotel was cleared out.
Xie Xubai was wearing a light grey suit, his hands folded casually. Opposite him sat Xiang Tao, who was wearing a black suit and had a pale face and red, swollen eyes.
Xiang Tao could hardly hide the embarrassment on his face.
The waiter brought them coffee: "Mr. Xie, this is your latte. Mr. Xiang, this is your espresso with double espresso."
"Thank you. I have something to say to Mr. Xiang. If you don't have anything else, please don't bother me."
"Okay, Mr. Xie."
After the waiter left.
Xie Xubai added another sugar cube and milk to the latte. He glanced up at Xiang Tao and said in a hoarse voice, "You might as well just order a glass of sweet milk."
A lot of milk is added when latte is made, so it is not bitter coffee.
"I don't like hardship."
Xie Xubai stirred the coffee gently, without the spoon touching the wall of the cup.
His handsome face always had a hint of gentleness amidst its coldness. "Xiang Tao, you are just too hard-working. That's why you have to endure endless hardships...even your coffee needs to be double concentrated."
Those who can endure hardship should endure more.
Xiang Tao gave a bitter laugh, not even in the mood to drink his coffee. "Are you mocking me? The press conference is about to start in half an hour. What exactly is your purpose in inviting me here?"
He hasn't slept a wink since yesterday.
Physically and mentally exhausted.
Xie Xubai took a sip of coffee and said, "Going to a press conference with this attitude, isn't that the same as telling them that something's happened to the Xiang family? Your words won't be convincing and will have the opposite effect."
He looked at Xiang Tao and said, "Let me guess. Your father wasn't at today's press conference. Are you trying to find an excuse to get away with it?"
"Xiang Tao, I know your father is dead. If you tell lies to the press, I will expose your lies. The Xiang family's situation will be even worse, and you will gradually lose your credibility."
Xie Xubai doesn't like to plot conspiracies, he only puts his open plans on the table.
"I know the Xiang family has accumulated so much wealth over the years, and I can't destroy it in a short time. But to get to this point, it's not just thanks to my Xie family. You can think about how many people the Xiang family has offended."
Xiang Tao murmured, "So everything I do is under your control. And Huo Xingzhou is helping you, right? There are still many people who covet my Xiang family's status. We have offended countless people over the years."
The Xiang family is not very popular in the imperial capital and acts in a domineering and arrogant manner.
No mercy anywhere.
All matters that the Lu family cannot handle are handled by the Xiang family.
The Lu family took all the benefits, and the Xiang family took a lot of blame. Now that the Xiang family is in trouble, the Lu family avoids them and draws a clear line!
"Father, you've been helping others for so many years! No wonder... the Lu family gave up their position as one of the four great families to the Xiang family, because my uncle knew it was a target! Although the Lu family is not one of the four great families, the glory and wealth they enjoy are no less than those of the four great families! They've even surpassed the Zhong family in reputation!"
There was sadness and panic in Xiang Tao's eyes.
Xie Xubai leaned back in his chair, his expression somewhat indifferent. "Xiang Ze has fled the country, which means the Xiang family's situation is very dire. I'll give you a choice, what do you think?"
"What choice?"
"The son inherits the father's fortune. You already hold 5% of the shares, and combined with your father's 41%, you have a total of 45% equity. This could be very useful in the hands of someone else. But you don't know how many more options we have. I suggest you transfer all these shares to me at the current market price."
Xiang’s stock price has been fluctuating repeatedly.
Shrinking again and again.
Xie Xubai can also acquire these shares if he works hard.
Xiang Tao clenched his hands into fists, gritted his teeth and couldn't utter the words.
The cell phone on the table rang with a ding. Xiang Tao's heart tightened and he clicked on the unread message to take a look.
He looked up at Xie Xubai as if to challenge her: "Someone offered a higher price than you."
