Chapter 552 Are you her boyfriend?
Today, to celebrate the successful conclusion of the needle testing competition, with Qiao Xi taking first place, Huo Sijiao and Shen Xuanzhi were both seated at the table, while Old Chen ate sunflower seeds nearby.
After Xiaoyuan finished serving the last dish, she also sat down.
There were seven of us in total, and it was much more lively than usual.
Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi sat on one side, opposite them were Huo Sijiao and Shen Xuanzhi.
Sun Weimeng stared at the gloomy Shen Xuanzhi curiously and asked, "Are you Huo Sijiao's boyfriend?"
puff!
Huo Sijiao took a sip of the medicinal wine from the wine glass and then spat it out.
"Sun Weimeng, what nonsense are you talking about?" Huo Sijiao glared at him like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She even stole a glance at Shen Xuanzhi's expression out of the corner of her eye.
Afraid that Shen Xuanzhi would be unhappy, he left immediately.
She finally mustered up the courage to ask Shen Xuanzhi if he wanted to come celebrate, but she didn't expect him to agree so immediately.
What if you scare people away?
Damn Sun Weimeng, he doesn’t control his mouth!
Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou smiled at each other, watching their commotion like sober outsiders, watching the show unfold.
Sun Weimeng shouted loudly, "What's there to be embarrassed about? When I was your age, my girlfriend could already circle Qing Lake!"
Huo Sijiao's cheeks flushed pink as she angrily said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart."
Sun Weimeng drank a lot of wine and said loudly, "I'm talking nonsense? It was you who ran all the way to the capital to watch the game. This villa is obviously accommodating, but you insisted on staying in a hotel. Sister, I've seen this kind of trick many times. Don't you just want to be closer to him?"
"you……"
Huo Sijiao, who is always sharp-tongued, was so shocked by Sun Wei that she couldn't say a word.
She has intentions towards Shen Xuanzhi!
But being exposed in front of so many people was still embarrassing. Especially when she saw the inexplicable smiles on her sister-in-law and brother, she felt even more embarrassed!
Let’s assassinate Sun Weimeng tonight!
"Huo Sijiao, I didn't ask you." Sun Weimeng filled a glass of wine for Shen Xuanzhi. "Mr. Shen, if you're a man, don't hide behind a woman! Do you like Huo Sijiao? I feel uncomfortable seeing her being so shy."
Shen Xuanzhi's eyes were cold, and he held the wine glass and said, "I'm not her boyfriend. I came here to thank Qiao Xi for winning the first place in the needle testing competition and preventing the Lu family from becoming stronger."
He tilted his head back and drank the full glass of liquor.
His throat rolled, and what he swallowed was not the burning liquor, but more than twenty years of hatred.
Huo Sijiao looked lonely. She had known this would be the answer, so why did she still hold out hope?
She pretended to be calm and said, "Sun Weimeng, I told you everything. He is not my boyfriend, why don't you believe it?"
Sun Weimeng muttered, "You two don't look like ordinary friends. I didn't expect that you, who seem to be so bold in love and hate, would actually play the game of unrequited love. There's a whole forest outside, why would you be so obsessed with just one tree?"
"None of your business."
Huo Sijiao poured herself a glass of wine and drank it as if she was angry.
The atmosphere suddenly became cold.
Qiao Xi hesitated again and again, then looked at Shen Xuanzhi and asked, "Excuse me, was the Shen family's demise related to the Lu family?"
Shen Xuanzhi's eyes were icy. "Yes. The Shen family's bird-pecking technique was renowned, and my father also did some medicinal herb business. Lu Bannong used insidious means to damage the Shen family's business and disrupt its capital chain. Ultimately, my father was overwhelmed and jumped to his death. A year later, the Shen family's bird-pecking technique spread. This method wasn't just aimed at the Shen family..."
"The Lu family's Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles also incorporates the essence of the Sparrow Pecking Technique."
Acupuncture is about communication, integration, understanding and innovation.
The Lu family was right in this regard, but they obtained other people's inheritance in a shameful way.
They killed an entire family!
Shen Xuanzhi has known the warmth and coldness of human nature since he was a child.
His voice was a little hoarse. "You took away the championship of the needle testing competition today. Lu Bannong must hate you to the core. If he gets the chance, he will definitely get rid of you. You must be careful and don't fall into his trap."
"Thank you for your reminder, but we can only deal with it as it comes. Having come to this point, we all carry the same hatred on our shoulders."
When Qiao Xi woke up in the middle of the night, she also thought that if she didn't know Grandpa Cheng's identity and stayed in Haicheng City Hospital as a small doctor, would everything be different?
But there is no choice.
Fate pushed her down this path. If she retreated, the other party would advance.
Sun Weimeng gulped down the white wine and said, "Just do it! The Lu family appears to be kindhearted, but secretly they are ruthless. Let's just treat it as justice for the people!"
"drink wine!"
"Huo Xingzhou, drink!"
He livened up the atmosphere and invited everyone to drink together, but he still had some sense and didn't let Qiao Xi drink.
Huo Sijiao drank while glancing at Shen Xuanzhi.
She had long known that Shen Xuanzhi had a miserable family background, but hearing him say it himself made her feel upset.
She patted her cheek lightly, warning herself.
Huo Sijiao, you can't feel sorry for a man! Feeling sorry for a man is the beginning of bad luck!
She drank the wine sip by sip, but her eyes could not stop looking at Shen Xuanzhi. She found that Shen Xuanzhi was being forced to drink by Sun Weimeng, and this wooden man did not know how to refuse and drank one glass after another.
The clock moved to eleven.
The noise in the restaurant just stopped, and Sun Weimeng was lying on the table, drunk.
Qiao Xi hadn't drunk a drop of alcohol, but Huo Xingzhou still had a lingering smell of alcohol on him.
Huo Sijiao's cheeks were flushed but she looked rational. Shen Xuanzhi had obviously drunk a lot of wine but he didn't see anything unusual.
Huo Xingzhou stood up and ordered, "Old Chen, take Shen Xuanzhi and Jiaojiao to the hotel. If she insists on going back, let her go."
"yes."
In order to make driving easier, Lao Chen resisted the urge to drink a single sip of alcohol.
He patted Sun Shao's shoulder and said, "Sun Shao, I'll come back and continue drinking with you. Xiao Yuan, please take care of Sun Shao and don't let him fall."
"Well, come back soon."
Sun Weimeng closed his eyes and said something vaguely.
"Miss, Mr. Chen. Let's go now." Old Chen took the car keys and shouted.
Huo Sijiao staggered slightly, but quickly regained her balance.
She and Shen Xuanzhi left the villa one after another.
Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou returned to the master bedroom of the villa.
She turned on the light, held his hand, stood at the door and said, "Is she really okay like this? I see she's depressed and drank a lot of wine. I guess she cares a lot about what Shen Xuanzhi said."
That sentence "I'm not her boyfriend".
"Let her be. I can't even decide her feelings."
Huo Xingzhou is relatively open-minded. He has his own preferences, but he will not force Huo Sijiao to live his own way.
If she likes someone, she will love and pursue him passionately.
When you hit your head, look back at the warm harbor and go home to heal.
Qiao Xi stared at him and said, "You are really a very good brother."
He leaned over and hugged her waist, whispering, "Can I be the first in your heart?"
Cheng Han.
Grandma Qiao.
And there is that Ayi.
Can he come first?
