Chapter 599 She went to see Zhong Yi alone
Lu Yingxue waved her hand, found a waiter and whispered a few instructions.
She slowly walked off the stage. The elders had their own social circles.
Young people tend to stick to their own circles.
As the focus of the whole audience, Lu Yingxue was surrounded by many young men and women as soon as she stepped down from the stage, speaking words of compliment and envy to her.
She answered them politely one by one.
"Congratulations, Miss Lu. You and Master Zhong have finally achieved a happy ending. From now on, the Lu family will have even smoother success in the imperial capital."
"You are so lucky."
"Young Master Zhong has always been a clean man and would never get involved in extramarital affairs. Miss Lu will be happy in the future. I'm sure the Zhong family's wedding ceremony will be even more grand. This engagement party cost a fortune."
Lu Yingxue covered her lips and smiled, "That's not an exaggeration. Ayi and I are indeed old enough to get engaged."
She is two years older than Zhongyi. She is 28 years old this year and will be another year older after the New Year.
She was indeed anxious to make a decision!
"You guys chat first, I have a distinguished guest to entertain." Lu Yingxue lifted her skirt and slowly walked to where Qiao Xi was.
As soon as Huo Sijiao noticed her approaching, she immediately took Qiao Xi's arm and looked at her warily.
"Why didn't Miss Lu wear that goose yellow dress? She insisted on her choice. If you don't trust our taste, don't ask us to help you choose a dress. My sister-in-law's kindness has been wasted."
Huo Sijiao spoke rudely.
He didn't have a good face towards Lu Yingxue either.
Lu Yingxue's expression did not change at all.
"I just think white suits today's theme better." Lu Yingxue said gently, "Miss Huo has made a fortune by taking advantage of my engagement party. I heard that you two are planning to open a beauty salon together?"
"Yes, I heard that Miss Lu also owns a beauty salon."
Huo Sijiao had already done market research and hadn't expected Lu Yingxue's Yingyue Pavilion to be one of the best beauty salons in the capital. Do all these wealthy, ambitious socialites love to open beauty salons?
"really."
Lu Yingxue looked at Qiao Xi with a hint of smile in her eyes and said, "My beauty salon only offers some routine services, which can't compare to the top-notch scar removal products you advertise. I heard that the prescription was modified by Miss Qiao from an ancient medical book? I'll definitely go and try it out when the time comes."
"welcome."
Qiao Xi wore a neutral smile on her face. "But the free trial is sold out. If you want to experience it, you can only top up your diamond card at our beauty salon. I'm sure Miss Lu won't be short of money, so you must come."
Qiao Xi also learned how to squeeze people.
Lu Yingxue pursed her lips. "Miss Qiao, you're such a jokester. I never thought the medical skills you've learned could be used in beauty treatments. It's a great way to gain both fame and fortune. But it's a disgrace to the art of medicine..."
He wanted to trick her into recharging her account.
It's like a dream.
People in the same industry are enemies. She and Qiao Xi are always at odds with each other. Even when they are doing small business, they bump into each other. This must be the bad fate they have cultivated for several lifetimes!
Naturally incompatible.
Qiao Xi looked at her, refusing to back down. "Miss Lu, are you saying my medical skills are tainted with the smell of money? I didn't expect you to have such lofty ideas. Why don't you just buy a dress? Even the engagement party costs hundreds of millions. What a double standard!"
"That's right."
Huo Sijiao smiled and looked at Lu Yingxue. "Miss Lu is called the female Hua Tuo by the people of the imperial capital. I think she is a black-hearted saint with a white lotus. She is very tolerant of herself, but has very high moral standards for others."
The smile on Lu Yingxue's face disappeared, and she lowered her voice and said, "Ms. Qiao, don't forget that you are still my father's subordinate. The Chinese Medicine Association welcomes you very much!"
After she finished speaking, she turned and left in her high heels, chatting with others.
Huo Sijiao sneered, "What a thing! She actually thinks she's a piece of cake! Sister-in-law, don't bother with her. This vicious woman with a heart of a snake and a scorpion will be in trouble sooner or later! So what if she's engaged to Master Zhong? She might even cancel the engagement."
"She is indeed very arrogant."
Qiao Xi's face darkened as she spoke, "I originally thought the Lu family would decline without the support of the Xiang family. I never expected that this marriage proposal from the Zhong family would make the Lu family a hot new elite in the imperial capital. No matter how far Zhong Yi advances in the future, Lu Yingxue will also benefit from it."
What a headache!
"Sister-in-law, think of something cheerful. I'm going to the bathroom. You wait here and don't wander around." Huo Sijiao drank a lot of fruit wine and drinks with those rich girls at the social gatherings, and her stomach had long been full.
She stuck out her tongue: "Sister-in-law, give me the handbag. My foundation and lipstick are stuffed in your bag hehe."
"Well, don't worry."
Qiao Xi handed her the handbag and watched Huo Sijiao walk away.
Qiao Xi was eating fresh fruits out of boredom, and she was very eye-catching standing in the middle of the field in her white dress.
Old Chen behind him was always on guard.
No one came over for a while, and it was boring.
After a while.
A servant handed her a slip of paper.
Qiao Xi unfolded the rolled-up note, and the line of words on it made her suspicious.
She looked around.
But the owner of the note was nowhere to be found.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips. The handwriting was messy but revealed a familiar stroke.
She called softly, "Old Chen."
Old Chen stepped forward and asked, "Young Madam, what's wrong?"
"Where did the boat go?"
"The young master and the eldest son of the Xie family went to the flower corridor at the back to discuss something, and told me not to disturb them easily. It seems that after the Xiang family went bankrupt, they are discussing the division of interests between the two families. Our Huo family wants to use the power of the Xie family to gain a foothold in the imperial capital."
When Qiao Xi heard this, she suppressed the inexplicable irritation in her heart and said, "Then come with me to the top floor."
Old Chen asked in surprise, "Top floor? The lounge on the top floor is reserved for the Zhong and Lu families. What are you doing up there?"
On one side were the Lu family, and on the other were the Zhong family. The Lu family had three rooms, and Lu Yan was hiding in the lounge, not wanting to see anyone because of his lame leg. The remaining side was occupied by the Zhong family, including the eldest and young mistress of the Zhong family, as well as Zhong Hongfei and Zhong Yi's separate lounges.
"Something's going on."
Qiao Xi didn't know whether what was written on the note was true or false.
You have to go up and take a look to find out.
But she won't go alone.
"Old Chen, let's take the elevator to the fifth floor first. Our Huo family's lounge is on the fifth floor. After we get there, we can take the emergency stairs to the sixth floor. This way it won't be too conspicuous."
"Okay, Madam, I'll listen to you."
Old Chen won't get to the bottom of this matter, but he will report it to the young master later.
It is his duty, and the young lady should understand him.
"Let's go. Tell Sun Weimeng to look after Jiaojiao."
"I know. I'll send a message to Young Master Sun right away. With Young Master Sun here, we can handle most situations. Our eldest lady's temper won't allow herself to be wronged."
Old Chen sent a text message to Sun Weimeng while walking.
He pressed the elevator button at the corner of the banquet hall, and he and Qiao Xi entered the elevator one after another.
Go straight to the fifth floor!
From the emergency exit on the fifth floor, I took the stairs to the quiet top floor.
Qiao Xi walked in front. Old Chen looked around and found that there were name tags on the doors of the rooms, even the ones on the sixth floor.
They walked along and finally stopped at the door of the room at the end of the corridor.
When Old Chen saw the name, he immediately wanted to call his young master!
