Chapter 311: Master Zhong also has obsessions
There was a pinhole in the white palm, bleeding, and an area the size of a coin around it was blue and black.
Her right hand was numb and her fingers couldn't help shaking.
Just now, he had shaken hands with Mingzhu in public to show his friendship. He had hidden acupuncture needles between his fingers, and the needles were soaked in the nerve-paralyzing Pinellia juice.
These people are so cunning and hard to guard against.
However, this toxin does not have much impact on the body.
She also fought back in time!
He changed his gesture and held Xiang Mingzhu's hand again, letting the acupuncture needle penetrate into her flesh.
I guess Xiang Mingzhu must be more seriously injured than her!
Du Juan asked, "Qiao Xi, what are you looking at?"
Qiao Xi quickly curled up her fingers, clenched them into fists, shook her head and said, "Nothing."
Du Juan glanced back at the open banquet hall and said, "Liu Huimin is usually very concerned about her reputation and is very good at putting on airs like a lady. But today she's really going all out. Even I wouldn't necessarily want to embarrass the Ye family."
I can't do something like throwing cake in the face of a junior.
"Qiao Xi, after all, mother and daughter are connected by heart. Although I don't want you to forgive her, please don't be too hard on yourself. If you ever want to recognize her, none of us will blame you."
"Yeah, I know."
Qiao Xi remained silent, feeling a little depressed.
Dujuan let go of her arm and suddenly laughed out loud.
She pointed in a direction and said, "Look! My good son was afraid that I would sell you out! He ran here eagerly to pick you up. I haven't even been treated this way."
Qiao Xi looked up and saw a man standing at the flower-filled archway of the garden villa.
He was wearing a suit and had long legs.
He looked at her with a faint, tender smile in his eyes.
Du Juan joked, "You two should go home quickly. I, a third wheel, won't bother you anymore."
"Mom..." Qiao Xi felt a little embarrassed.
Dujuan smiled ambiguously and took another path. She was an open-minded mother-in-law, and she was very happy that her son and daughter-in-law had a good relationship.
Qiao Xi watched her leave, then looked at the man not far away.
The depression in her heart dissipated, and she ran forward with light steps and threw herself into his arms.
Her voice was soft and delicate: "Why are you here? Didn't you say the company was busy?"
She stood on tiptoe and put her arms around his neck in a very intimate posture.
The man's low and gentle voice sounded: "I'm here to take you home."
"Well, go home!"
Qiao Xi nodded heavily.
She smiled brightly and clung very close to him. Huo Xingzhou placed his hands on her waist, his peripheral vision catching sight of the handsome young man standing on the second-floor terrace of the villa, who was as handsome as a bamboo. He was holding up a glass of champagne and gesturing from a distance.
Huo Xingzhou's eyes darkened and his jaw lowered slightly.
He recognized that it was the youngest son of the Zhong family in the imperial capital.
Huo Xingzhou hugged Qiao Xi and walked out, his big hand domineeringly wrapped around her waist as he left.
Second floor terrace.
The young man, holding a glass of champagne, had a worn red braided rope tied around his wrist to hide the shallow scars. He put the glass aside and rested his hands casually on the railing.
A clear and distant voice sounded: "Wanjiang, Ye Zhimeng..."
"Mr. Zhong, I understand. I will arrange it."
Wan Jiang knew very well that he was a vengeful person and did not dare to neglect him.
Zhong Shao leaned lazily and casually, looked at the couple walking further and further away and smiled.
Wan Jiang asked tentatively, "Master Zhong, Xiang Huai has already confessed his guilt. What methods did you use to make him collapse his psychological defenses?"
"Want to know?" He tilted his head, his tone lazy.
Wan Jiang nodded: "Yes, very much."
He said, "Wan Jiang, do you have any obsessions?"
The light and shadow danced on him.
The picturesque and jade-like eyebrows and eyes are filled with strangeness and indifference.
Wan Jiang shook his head.
"You don't, but Xiang Huai does."
Zhong Shao leaned forward slightly, and the faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers fell on his shoulders. "Xu Xingluo was everything to him. When the mask of innocence and kindness was torn off, he collapsed. The final straw that broke the camel's back was the truth that happened ten years ago."
He told Xiang Huai that the person who called for help was not Xu Xingluo.
Xiang Huai repeatedly asked who it was, and he said a name that broke Xiang Huai's heart.
Xiang Huai didn't dare to believe him, but he also didn't dare not to believe him. In the end, he confessed everything with a dead heart.
Wan Jiang asked, "How did Master Zhong know what happened in Haicheng ten years ago? Have you ever lived in Haicheng before?"
The young man flicked the fallen flowers on his shoulder with his fingers, his eyes filled with mystery. "I don't know. I'm from the imperial capital."
Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, Wan Jiang changed the subject: "You've used another project to get the Xiang family to give up Xiang Huai and not go to the police to rescue him. Isn't that a bit too worthwhile? You worked so hard to get that."
"As long as I'm happy, do you have any objections?"
Wan Jiang quickly said, "How dare I?"
The young man took off his suit jacket and threw it into Wan Jiang's arms. He untied his tie and walked towards the stairs of the villa. "Wan Jiang, the osmanthus flowers bloomed a little early this year, and the smell is not good. Wash my clothes for me..."
"Why."
Wan Jiang held his coat and thought that there was no need for Master Zhong to wash clothes. He was deliberately making things difficult for him.
However, looking at the fallen osmanthus flowers all over the ground, he somehow remembered a poem.
I want to buy some osmanthus flowers and put them in the wine, but it doesn’t feel like the days when I was young.
No one can go back to their youth.
Could it be that Master Zhong hated Osmanthus so much because he had a secret crush on someone in his youth whom he couldn't get back?
That's not right!
Why did Young Master Zhong come to the auction today? Wasn't he here to bid on the medical books and bronze figures?
…
Banquet hall on the first floor.
Liu Huimin was a bit distraught, and she hurried back and forth with her bag. Others wanted to talk to her, but they didn't have the chance.
She walked out of the banquet hall and took a detour to a secluded area of the garden villa, then took out her cell phone and made a call.
It took a long time for the other party to pick up the phone.
"Ma Hongwen, I want you to withdraw Qiao Xi's application. She will not participate in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Festival." Liu Huimin said anxiously and in a commanding tone.
If she hadn't mentioned it to Mingzhu today, she would have almost forgotten about it.
Qiao Xi was forced by her to see Liu Zongyun, and she secretly schemed against him to collude with Ma Hongwen to submit the registration information.
Liu Huimin regretted it so much!
She couldn't imagine how Qiao Xi would feel if she knew about this.
Ma Hongwen was embarrassed: "This won't work. The list has been made public."
Liu Huimin took a deep breath. "I can give you money, any amount is fine! She didn't apply in person, so that doesn't count, right?"
"Her situation is very special. As Cheng Han's apprentice, she violated the agreement made back then. Registration was just a formality. The Imperial Capital Lu family will not let her go no matter what. I can't cancel it, so please don't make it difficult for me. Besides, wasn't it you who forced her to treat Liu Zongyun?
Madam Xu, as a member of the Liu family, you should be very clear about the northern and southern divisions of traditional Chinese medicine. What will happen to those who violate the rules? "
right!
She knows!
It's because I know it so clearly that I regret it so much.
"Ma Hongwen, she can't go, she is too young! If she loses, the consequences will be disastrous. She will lose everything and be injured or disabled!" There are so many masters in the needle trial conference, including Lu Yingxue who became famous ten years ago.
If Lu Bannong were to participate without caring about his reputation, Qiao Xi would be left with nowhere to go.
"It's too late to undo what's been done! Madam Xu, please seek help from someone else."
Ma Hongwen was very rude and hung up the phone directly.
Liu Huimin's hands and feet were numb and she stood there.
What should she do?
Suddenly, someone grabbed her hair and slapped her hard in the face.
There was a particularly loud snap.
Liu Huimin was stunned.
