Chapter 421 The one hiding in the trunk is Master Zhong
The person hiding in the trunk of the Lincoln is not Lao Chen's friend.
But it was Master Zhong.
The fog is thick.
When and where did Mr. Zhong get on the bus?
Qiao Xi recalled that Lao Chen had stopped at many service areas along the way, and had even gotten off the car to rest. Which service area had he boarded the car? Or had he been hiding in the trunk since the beginning in Moon Village?
Why was Master Zhong injured? He was clearly in the center of Haicheng, so why did he appear outside the city?
Why did Huo Xingzhou save him?
She knocked her head and felt that she was about to see the truth.
But she was enveloped by a layer of miasma, and she couldn't figure out the key point no matter how hard she tried.
"Little fairy? Miracle doctor?" Sun Wei shouted a few times, "Can you hear me bragging?"
Sun Weimeng boasted for a long time on the other end of the phone, but got no response.
Qiao Xi came back to her senses and said, "I heard it. Thank you, Mr. Sun. Since you helped me so much, I'll treat you to a meal next time."
"You're welcome, you'll help me even more. I heard the competition will be coming up soon, so go for it! I'll also go to the capital and cheer you on!"
"Thank you, but that's too much trouble. It's too late today, I'll hang up first."
Qiao Xi said something to Sun Shao and hung up the phone.
It is hard to imagine how socially disastrous it would be for Young Master Sun to run to the imperial capital, waving banners and shouting slogans.
She wasn't even sure she could win the game!
This kindness is really hard to accept.
The phone was hung up, and Sun Weimeng's noisy voice disappeared from his ears.
The room fell silent.
She also tried hard to unravel the mystery, wanting to see clearly what Huo Xingzhou and Zhong Yi were up to. He and Lao Chen were working together to hide the truth from her.
Huo Xingzhou didn't want her to know anything.
If she asked him again, she might just get another excuse.
What on earth could it be that made him so fearful?
Qiao Xi closed her eyes and recalled all the details from driving to Moon Village.
That’s right!
Aunt Chunhua seemed to have mentioned that a young man came to the village and went to the mountains, but later she was called by Lao Chen to sort out the gifts and she didn't listen anymore.
Also, that night Huo Xingzhou and Lao Chen both said they were not used to the living there. She thought they couldn't sleep because of the new environment, but now she thinks there is something else going on.
Could it be that they had already contacted Zhong Yi at that time?
So the one you like is the one you take in Moon Village?
Qiao Xi was shocked. The idea that she had suppressed for a long time came to her mind again after she denied it again and again.
Call Aunt Chunhua first!
Ask for details to confirm whether the young man who came to Moon Village really likes it!
Qiao Xi impulsively flipped through her address book and saw the time displayed on her phone.
1:30 in the morning.
It was like a basin of cold water was poured over my head. At this time, Aunt Chunhua had already fallen asleep.
She waited a little longer!
At least until daybreak.
Qiao Xi lay on the big bed, feeling upset for the first time. She tried to send a message to Shu Xue, the night owl, to say something to distract her, but this time Shu Xue didn't reply.
A sleepless night.
…
On the other side of the bustling city.
Shu Xue is taking a bath.
She drank so much that she fell asleep for several hours. When she woke up because she had to pee, it was already late at night. She was taken to Zhou Yu's house, but there was no sound from him in the master bedroom.
Probably because she smelled too much of alcohol, he went to sleep in the second bedroom.
Shu Xue couldn't tolerate the sour smell on her body, so she got up and went into the bathroom to take a hot shower.
As the hot water from the shower head fell, many thoughts flashed through her mind.
After taking a shower, walk out of the room.
I saw Zhou Yu sitting on the sofa in the master bedroom. The lights in the room were off. It was pitch black, with only the light coming in from outside to outline his figure.
Zhou Yu looked up at her when he heard the noise. "I was afraid you were hungry, so I prepared some midnight snacks. The housekeeper won't be here tonight, so are some frozen dumplings okay?"
On the coffee table in front of the sofa was a bowl of steaming dumplings, small enough to eat one in one bite.
"Can."
Shu Xue walked over to him and sat down, eating her dumplings obediently. She wondered how many women had experienced Zhou Yu's thoughtfulness in the middle of the night.
He seems unruly, but he must have a soft spot in his heart.
Unfortunately, that piece of soft pure land didn't seem to belong to her. She shouldn't have discovered those things in the storage room, let alone delve into the name he searched on his phone.
"Shu Xue."
Zhou Yu said with a hint of apology, "Tianyuan Group will hold a designer salon at the Grand Hotel on Saturday. The Future City project has been handed over to me. The designers attending are all well-known both domestically and internationally. I might..."
Designer salons are gatherings for exchange and discussion within the design industry, where you can have long conversations with like-minded people. They are more casual than formal meetings, allowing you to enjoy a glass of wine and pastries while speaking freely.
Shu Xue said while eating dumplings, "What a coincidence! I was just about to tell you that my parents have something to do this weekend and I can't go. Let's make an appointment next time. We were a bit hasty when we talked about getting the marriage certificate before, and you haven't even proposed to me yet."
She looked at him with a smile.
Zhou Yu laughed and looked relieved.
Shu Xue lowered her head. Zhou Yu's reaction was within her expectations. For Zhou Yu, apart from that person, everyone else was probably just a compromise.
Even Shu Xue had guessed the reason why he didn't get married.
"Next week, I'll invite your parents to have dinner at Fuchun Garden. We can talk about our marriage then..."
"It's up to you whenever you're free. I'm full and want to walk around the neighborhood to digest it. You can go to sleep first."
Shu Xue is no longer so eager to get married.
"Zhou Yu, I want to move back home to be with my parents. I don't really want to live in that small apartment anymore. They're getting old..."
Zhou Yu responded: "Okay."
…
the next day.
It was dawn.
Qiao Xi, who hadn't slept all night, got up, took out her cell phone and called Aunt Chunhua in the countryside. The call didn't go through for a long time, and she couldn't help but feel a little impatient.
Qiao Xi went to the bathroom to wash up and sobered up with cold water.
She looked at the particularly obvious dark circles under her fair skin and decided to cover them up with a thin layer of foundation. After she left the room, she called Aunt Chunhua again.
Still not connected.
People in the countryside are busy in the morning and may not bring their mobile phones with them.
Qiao Xi took a deep breath and walked downstairs.
Aunt Qian walked out of the room yawning. Seeing that the clock on the wall showed only six o'clock, Qiao Xi packed up and went downstairs.
"Madam, you're up so early? I haven't made breakfast yet." Aunt Qian observed her expression and said, "Madam, how about I make you a bowl of wontons? It'll be quick."
Qiao Xi forced a smile and said, "Okay, thank you Aunt Qian for your help."
She glanced at her phone screen from time to time, but there was still no call.
Aunt Qian served the fresh and fragrant wontons, sprinkled with chopped green onions and seaweed, and placed in a celadon flower bowl, which was particularly appetizing.
"Thank you, Aunt Qian."
Qiao Xi thanked him, her eyes fixed on the information on the screen, while she scooped up a plump little wonton with a white porcelain spoon.
"hiss!"
The tip of my tongue was severely burned, and it felt numb and painful.
"Young Madam, drink some cold water quickly. Why are you so absent-minded today? I..."
Buzz buzz buzz.
Qiao Xi's cell phone vibrated. It was Aunt Chunhua calling.
