Chapter 745 Lu Yingxue Humiliates Herself
Zhao Chang finally called!
The hearts of both the Lu family father and daughter were in their throats, but their tense hearts finally relaxed.
Zhao Chang!
He made them worry for a whole day, and they would definitely give him a good scolding when they got through.
Lu Bannong picked up the phone and immediately started venting, "Zhao Chang! I've been calling you all day. Where the hell have you been?! Do you know how much we're short of medicinal herbs right now? Don't forget the ten-year medicinal herb supply agreement."
"Mr. Lu, our boss...our boss has been arrested!"
The person who called was just one of Zhao Chang's assistants. He took Zhao Chang's phone and started asking for help from those connections.
"Mr. Lu, please find a way to save our boss! Our boss was caught for smuggling, and the police don't allow him to see anyone." The young assistant was very anxious because most of the people on the plantation had been arrested.
He was just a small follower of Zhao Chang and didn't know many things, so the police didn't arrest him.
"What?"
Lu Bannong's face turned pale. "Zhao Chang was arrested? Can the medicinal materials still be sent to the imperial capital?"
"Oh, Mr. Lu, the factory is in chaos right now! Who has time to deliver the herbs to you? Our plantation has been sealed off!"
The young assistant cried, "Mr. Lu, you are a good friend of our boss. Is there any way to save him?"
Lu Bannong felt his head buzzing and was furious.
The whole person fainted!
With a click, the phone fell to the ground.
"Father!"
Lu Yingxue panicked when she saw it, and quickly took his pulse and found that he was suffering from anger.
She took out a long needle and inserted it into his philtrum. Only then did Lu Bannong slowly wake up, but he was so angry that he had no strength to speak.
"Someone, come! Hurry up and help my father get to the lounge."
Several apprentices carefully took Lu Bannong away.
With her backbone gone, Lu Yingxue became even more irritated. She still hadn't found the herbs for tomorrow, and her father was sick from anger again. She was completely clueless.
what to do!
Do you really want to open the skylight?
Do we have to tell the public that the Chinese medicine clinic has run out of medicinal materials?
Wasn't she slapping herself in the face? Lu Yingxue wished she could go back to the first day and swallow back all the words she had said!
It’s all because of this mouth. Why did she say that there were enough medicinal materials and everyone would be accepted!
Lu Yingxue took out her cell phone, but there was no response from any of the medicinal herb contacts she contacted.
She saw Zhong Yi's received call in the call log, and thought that since Zhong Yi could come up with three tons of prepared medicinal materials, then... did he have any other goods?
If you buy at a high price, it is worth it if you can cope with it for a while.
Lu Yingxue endured it and called Zhong Yi.
Unfortunately, the person I picked up was Wan Jiang.
Wan Jiang politely revealed the information: "Ms. Lu, if you need medicinal herbs now, it's best to contact the Huo family. The Zhao family's plantation in the southwest was acquired by the second son of the Xu family and is registered under Miss Qiao's name. It was also the Liu family who helped when the Zhao family encountered difficulties."
"Miss Lu, you may not be able to get other herbs for a while, so you can only try your luck at the Huo family. They may have a herb warehouse in the imperial capital. Our Master Zhong also gets his herbs from there."
The phone was hung up.
Lu Yingxue's chest heaved violently, and her nostrils expanded and contracted.
Qiao Xi!
These are all traps set by them!
Now I can only ask the Huo family for help!
But even though she knew it was a trap, she had no way to deal with it.
"Someone, get the car ready for me." Lu Yingxue shouted angrily, "Hurry up."
…
The Huo family villa was brightly lit.
It was dinner time and the food smelled delicious.
Qiao Xi picked up some light dishes, and she and Huo Xingzhou sat at the table, enjoying a rare moment of leisure. Everyone else had gone out, and the atmosphere between them was very warm.
Huo Xingzhou served her a bowl of fresh mushroom soup and blew on it gently.
"Chicken soup is too greasy, try this."
"good."
Qiao Xi took a small sip and found that it tasted good.
And she didn't feel nauseous or retching, as her morning sickness was very severe.
Recently, she also felt that Huo Xingzhou was very attentive to her, almost to the point of being meticulous. Moreover, this man kept looking at her belly, as if he could see something.
"Eat more, we'll be meeting an unexpected guest later."
Huo Xingzhou said lightly.
"Know."
She already knew about the Southwestern plantations.
However, she did not expect that the Liu family and Xu Yunye registered all the plantations under her name, and he was the one who managed them on her behalf.
This is really... a huge favor!
But Qiao Xi didn't have time to worry about this matter now. He had to deal with the affairs of the imperial capital first and then make plans.
The Lu family's appetite was too great, putting them in a difficult position. They had to get the herbs for tomorrow's free clinic, otherwise they would be embarrassed.
Qiao Xi drank a few mouthfuls of soup and felt half full.
"Master, Madam!" Xiao Yuan walked quickly to the restaurant and said, "There's a guest outside who wants to see Madam."
Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou looked at each other.
It came so quickly!
Huo Xingzhou moved gracefully and said calmly, "Let her wait." He picked up another piece of vegetables for Qiao Xi with his chopsticks and said, "Eat more vegetables, they're nutritionally balanced. Eat slowly, there's no need to rush."
Qiao Xi nodded and ate every bite very seriously.
Xiaoyuan followed his instructions and walked out of the restaurant.
She poured a cup of tea and placed it on the coffee table. "Miss Lu, please have some tea. Our young master and young mistress are having dinner. Please wait a moment."
Lu Yingxue looked puzzled and nodded.
But who knew that we would have to wait for more than an hour? Who takes so long to eat dinner?
It was clearly a show of force to intimidate her!
Lu Yingxue was angry, but she didn't dare to lose her temper.
Only when her patience was exhausted did Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou finally arrive.
"Miss Qiao."
Unlike the arrogance and ridicule in the past few days, Lu Yingxue was more polite when facing Qiao Xi.
After all, I need help from others!
She didn't expect that she would have to bow to Qiao Xi now!
"Miss Lu is such a rare guest," Qiao Xi said with a smile as she sat on the sofa, looking at Lu Yingxue. Huo Xingzhou stood beside her, his cold aura making people feel a little intimidated.
It seemed like he was just here to keep the peace.
Lu Yingxue got straight to the point: "I'm here to discuss the supply of medicinal herbs."
"Oh, what does it have to do with me?" Qiao Xi's almond-shaped eyes were clear and a little innocent.
"Zhao Chang has been arrested. You're the ones responsible for the Southwest Plantation! The burning of our Lu family's medicinal herbs is also related to you. What does Miss Qiao say you have to do with it now? What do you think it is?"
Qiao Xi asked back: "So what?"
Lu Yingxue swallowed her anger and said, "I want to buy the herbs you have, tonight! The price is negotiable, I want ten tons!"
Just in case of emergency.
Before Qiao Xi finished speaking, Huo Xingzhou poured her a glass of warm water and handed it to her.
When Lu Yingxue saw that other men were so considerate, she thought of Zhong Yi and felt annoyed again.
"Qiao Xi, if you have any conditions, just tell me directly!"
Qiao Xi looked at the eagerness in her eyes and knew that she had absolute initiative.
So she boldly put forward her conditions.
