Chapter 644 Qiao Xi's Plan
Lu Yingxue felt blood on her hand.
The gauze on her right cheek was knocked off, revealing a hideous wound.
The wound split open and pus and blood oozed out.
Lu Bannong's slap caused the wound that was about to scab over to crack again.
"Father……"
Lu Bannong looked at her, his eyes devoid of any tenderness. "Didn't I warn you not to be so clever? Do you think Zhong Yi is just like those idiots you met before? He climbed to this position step by step! Why are you so impatient? Is it because you lost to Qiao Xi?"
"I……"
He is right.
Lu Yingxue's neck turned red.
The appearance of Qiao Xi brought unprecedented setbacks to her life.
She wants to prove herself!
First, she wanted to replace Qiao Xi's position in Zhong Yi's heart, but she didn't expect that she would shoot herself in the foot!
Not only did he gain nothing, but he also earned Zhong Yi's disgust and his father's reproach.
Today I heard another shocking secret: she is an illegitimate child.
It seemed as if life was going downhill from the moment Qiao Xi arrived in the imperial capital.
"I just wanted to prove myself, is that wrong?" Lu Yingxue felt distressed. "You should blame Xiang Mingzhu. Her uncertainty has caused us so much trouble. If she hadn't betrayed us during the needle testing conference, the Lu and Xiang families wouldn't be in such a mess today!"
What was she wrong about!
"Father, everything I do is for the Lu family!"
Her eyes were red and her heart was filled with resentment.
"If you really want the Lu family, you have to listen to me! Don't act on your own in the future and save your face."
Lu Yingxue exhaled slowly, her throat filled with bitterness. "My mother's death anniversary is coming up soon. Are you still not taking me to the memorial service this year?"
In previous years, Lu Bannong said that he didn't want the mother and daughter to meet, for fear of bringing up sad memories.
He would also arrange many things for her on the anniversary of her death.
As a result, Lu Yingxue has not visited her biological mother for many years.
She used to think it was a coincidence, but now it seems that it was all arranged by her father.
Who would want to see his illegitimate daughter after his original wife dies?
The information revealed by Lu Yutong is true.
"Don't worry about the worship. Think carefully about how to take the position of vice president. Qiao Xi's joining the Chinese Medicine Association will definitely bring a lot of changes. Although her foundation is still shallow and her position is not as high as mine. But she has Mr. Huang and Cheng Han behind her, and those old guys in the association will also take care of her."
Lu Bannong became furious whenever he thought about this.
A little girl actually dared to shake his position.
"I see."
No matter how patient Lu Yingxue was, she couldn't bear the blows she suffered again and again today.
Lu Bannong said calmly, "Go back to the villa and keep a close eye on Ye Ying. If she gets pregnant, it will help us get through this crisis, but she absolutely cannot give birth to the baby in her belly. Do you understand?"
"Well, I won't let her give birth."
The child I like can only be born to her.
"Go back. Don't come here if you have nothing to do. And don't provoke your aunt and Xiang Mingzhu. The grudges of the previous generation are over now."
Lu Yingxue remained silent.
She picked up her things and slowly turned around to walk out.
How can the grudges of the previous generation be ended?
If Qiao Xi knew what happened back then, she would probably hate the Lu family even more.
Not to mention...
The night was dark outside, and Lu Yingxue's heart was even gloomier.
She almost wanted to destroy the world.
…
And the other side.
The Huo family's garden villa.
After leaving the housewarming party, Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou returned to the villa.
When Huo Sijiao heard the noise, she quickly stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, you're finally back. I've got everything you asked me to bring. Do you want to see it?"
She took out a small packet of the beauty cream that was newly launched by Yingyue Pavilion across the street from her bag.
Today, Yingyue Pavilion has snatched away a lot of business with its beauty cream, and the effect is immediate.
Which woman can resist beauty?
Those rich girls are going crazy.
"Sister-in-law, why do you look a little strange?" Huo Sijiao observed her expression carefully and always felt that Qiao Xi was angry.
Even when my sister-in-law is in a bad mood, she doesn't easily show her face.
What happened?
Huo Sijiao observed her brother's expression, pulled Qiao Xi aside and said, "Sister-in-law, did my brother make you angry?"
"Not him."
Qiao Xi took the beauty cream from her hand and said, "Some unpleasant things happened outside. Let's take a look at this first."
"Oh, okay."
Huo Sijiao glanced at her, then looked at Huo Xingzhou.
Huo Xingzhou twitched his lips and said, "I'm going to the study. Old Chen, come up with me."
"Yes, Master."
Old Chen followed Huo Xingzhou upstairs.
In the living room.
Qiao Xi carefully distinguished the Chinese herbal ingredients in the beauty cream. Most people would think they were similar and there was no difference.
But Qiao Xi has a more sensitive sense of smell.
Can smell a slight difference in here.
Something is missing.
"Sister-in-law, did you find anything?"
Huo Sijiao asked quickly.
Qiao Xi hadn't confirmed it yet, so she said, "We need to take another look."
She walked over to the coffee table and spread the ointment, which contained some light green particles. Some ingredients couldn't be processed into powder, so this was the only way to preserve the greater effect.
Qiao Xi dissolved the ointment in warm water and stirred it, releasing a medicinal scent.
"It's more obvious in water. The beauty cream has a stronger medicinal smell, and it also contains more pearl powder." Pearl powder does have the effect of whitening. Perhaps in order to achieve the effect quickly, Yingyue Pavilion also added some functional ingredients.
"There's not enough rice water."
"Missing Yuzhu."
"The amount of angelica is a bit heavy."
"It's missing..."
"This dosage is too heavy, and the preparation..."
Qiao Xi analyzed slowly.
Huo Sijiao, standing by, looked at her with admiration in her eyes. "Sister-in-law, you're amazing! How do you smell these things? They all smell the same to me. At first, I thought they stole the secret recipe for our Jade Skin Cream. I didn't expect it to be a counterfeit... How about Lu Yingxue's formula for this beauty cream?"
"Simple whitening is fine, but removing scars is difficult."
Qiao Xi said lightly.
The Jade Skin Cream was prepared by her and Grandpa Cheng together, which took a lot of time. Many of the proportions had been tested, so seeing the beauty cream made by Lu Yingxue.
She easily judged the result.
"Then it's no threat to our beauty salon. After all, our main product is scar removal! But it's also hateful. This beauty cream must have been stolen from us!"
Huo Sijiao said angrily, "Maybe Lu Yingxue is using it for herself, and to disgust us at the same time."
Lu Yingxue injured her face and must be looking for various ways to heal it.
Which woman doesn't care about her appearance!
After hearing her words, Qiao Xi recalled what had just happened in a very calm tone.
"Jiaojiao, we are going to have a tough battle next."
Upon hearing this, Huo Sijiao said, "Sister-in-law, please give me your orders. If you need me in any way, please don't hesitate. What are your plans? Is it related to what you said last time?"
