Chapter 565: Zhang Han's Shocking Secret
That woman was the once famous movie queen Lin Xifei, and also Zhong Lingxiao's favorite woman.
She offended Qiao Xi last time and was banned by Huo Xingzhou in Haicheng
Later, he was suspected of leaking Zhong Yi's whereabouts, which led to Zhong Yi's accident in Yueliang Village. He had a "conflict" with Zhong Yi and was banned nationwide.
Now we can only capture her current situation through fragments of information reported by the media.
Those who follow her will know that Lin Xifei and the eldest son of the Zhong family often go out together, enjoying night outings everywhere, and they don’t take the real eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhong family seriously at all.
There are also rumors that Zhong Lingxiao's marriage is going to end and he will marry Lin Xifei.
But nothing got a response from the real owner.
Lin Xifei's eyes caught sight of Huo Xingzhou sitting in the living room, her eyes flickering with a hint of guilt.
She recognized Huo Xingzhou's face!
Instinctively, I felt a little scared and evasive.
"Ling Xiao."
She pressed her body closer to Zhong Lingxiao, "How about we come back to see the old man another day?"
She was afraid that something might go wrong.
Zhong Lingxiao gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, the old man loves children the most. He always says that having many children means more blessings, and he doesn't care about status or family background, otherwise he wouldn't have brought Zhong Yi home."
"Um."
Lin Xifei responded softly, and then listened to Zhong Lingxiao asking about the old man's mood today.
It turns out that even the legitimate young master of the Zhong family still fears this old man and has to act according to his mood.
Whoever he likes more will be able to touch the top power in the imperial capital!
Lin Xifei subconsciously touched her belly. She absolutely couldn't let anyone know that this child was...
"Come on, let's go to the study."
Zhong Lingxiao pulled Lin Xifei upstairs to the Zhong family's house.
Huo Xingzhou put down the warm teacup, watched their figures disappear around the corner of the corridor, and the corners of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.
Listen to what Zhong Lingxiao just said.
It can be guessed that Lin Xifei should be pregnant!
It was widely rumored that the Zhong family was a family of friendly brothers and respectful friends, and that Zhong Lingxiao was "tolerant, easygoing, and polite." Yet, he had just treated the guest like air, eager to see the old man.
It seems that the news of Lin Xifei's pregnancy was so surprising that he even forgot to pretend!
If the child Lin Xifei is pregnant with is really Zhong Lingxiao's, then it remains to be seen who will be the heir to the Zhong family.
Zhong Yi has already angered the old man on so many things.
The situation is unfavorable.
The third floor of the Zhong family.
In a room filled with the aroma of medicine.
As soon as Qiao Xi entered the room, she poured Huang Bingyi a cup of tea and knelt on the ground respectfully, calling out, "Teacher."
Ancient rituals cannot be abolished.
She meant it sincerely.
Huang Bingyi drank the apprenticeship tea directly, "Alright, today's simple manner is still considered as the apprenticeship ceremony."
Qiao Xi said softly, "Thank you for coming all the way to the Huo family to treat my burns before the acupuncture competition. The golden needle technique is indeed very powerful in removing toxins and healing wounds. With my injuries that day, I originally wouldn't have been able to make it to the third round of the competition."
Without Mr. Huang, there would be no her today.
"You got the better of me."
Huang Bingyi looked at her calmly. "The Chinese medicine community these days is rife with intrigue, factionalism, and a turmoil! I once left in anger because I couldn't stand this atmosphere, and then I heard about Cheng Han's situation, which made me even more heartbroken. But seeing your tenacity, I can't help but reflect... My inaction has also contributed to this atmosphere."
"The suffering and illness in this world still need someone to heal them."
Huang Bingyi sighed deeply. "I can't do that, but I hope you can cleanse the traditional Chinese medicine community of bad habits and bad practices. You're already in this situation, you can't get out."
Unless Qiao Xi can give up studying medicine to save people, it will be impossible for her to stay away from the struggle.
Qiao Xi's voice was firm: "I will follow my heart and do my part. I will never go along with the likes of the Lu family, but I won't let anyone bully me!"
She also has to wait and see the father and daughter repent for their grandmother!
Regret for the families they have harmed!
"It's good that you think so," Huang Bingyi said in a deep voice. "You've been appointed vice president of the Chinese Medicine Association this time. I think Lu Bannong will be more polite to you on the surface for my sake while I'm in the capital."
But he will leave the imperial capital sooner or later!
"Thank you for your maintenance."
"Get up, I'll treat your wound."
Qiao Xi slowly stood up and sat aside. She stretched out her right arm and unwound the gauze, revealing the scab-covered wound, which looked extremely ugly.
"This injury will leave a scar. Did Cheng Han give you any scar removal prescription?"
Qiao Xi nodded: "Yes."
"That's good."
Qiao Xi looked at him and asked softly, "Do you really have to live in the Zhong family? Actually..."
"I owe him a favor, so I promised to stay here for a month every year to help him recuperate, and also to check on the health of his younger generations." Huang Bingyi's expression was indifferent and he looked quite serious.
"The Zhong family is the most aristocratic family in the imperial capital. The more power they hold, the more they fear death. When people get old, they only have a few expectations. They hope for successors, many children and grandchildren, and they hope to live a long life. This time, he also hopes that I can take care of his great-grandson's health, hoping that he can have offspring soon."
Qiao Xi asked, "Have you seen the body of the young master of the Zhong family?"
"I've seen it. She's completely hollowed out, so having a child is difficult, but you can't be absolute about everything. This man appears to be friendly on the surface, but he's actually very cunning. Don't get into conflict with him when you enter or leave the Zhong family."
"Yeah, I know!"
Qiao Xi nodded very obediently.
She would try her best to avoid the Zhong family.
"One more thing, your master Cheng Han... may be missing!"
Huang Bingyi said slowly, "I tried to contact him, but I couldn't get through to him."
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and hesitated, "When I arrived in the imperial capital, I checked the mark left by my master, and it showed that it was safe. But so much time has passed, and I am also worried. Could it be the Lu family..."
Huang Bingyi shook his head, very sure.
"It can't be the Lu family, because the Lu family is also looking for him. Do you remember the woman with narcolepsy?"
"Um."
Qiao Xi looked at him with her almond-shaped eyes, "Is there something wrong with that woman?"
"What happened back then had a huge impact within a small circle. Your master Cheng Han was disheartened because of it. Even after so many years, although people's faces may have changed, I still recognized her identity. She is..."
Huang Bingyi slowly spoke to Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi was completely stunned.
My head is buzzing.
She left the third floor half an hour later, and as she went downstairs, she was still thinking about what Huang Bingyi said.
When she walked down the heavy stairs and turned the corner, she almost bumped into someone head-on.
She quickly stopped herself and did not bump into the man.
I just smelled the refreshing aquatic fragrance on him.
Qiao Xi saw the familiar, exquisite, noble and handsome face and took two steps back.
A hint of surprise flashed across the young man's eyes, but he immediately regained his composure.
The housekeeper behind him reminded: "This is Dr. Qiao, Mr. Huang's apprentice. He will be studying with Mr. Huang during this period. Mr. Zhong, the old man is still waiting for you in the study. Don't keep him waiting for too long."
"Um."
Zhong Yi responded and walked towards the study.
It was the old man who called him back on purpose.
After he left, Qiao Xi frowned slightly and walked quickly down the stairs.
I plan to talk to Huo Xingzhou about the news I just heard!
