Chapter 799: Never Forgive
Qiao Xi's eyes were cold as she looked at her and said, "No."
The president of the Chinese Medicine Association and the acquisition of medicinal materials were not her goals. She didn't care about those things!
Lu Yingxue was a little overwhelmed, "Then what do you want?"
Qiao Xi's voice was filled with chills, and her heart was filled with suppressed hatred: "I want grandma to come back to life. Can you do it?"
Lu Yingxue's knees ached, her eyes reddened, and her voice cracked. "How can a dead person be resurrected? Besides, it was Xiang Huai who did it, and he's already confessed! I was just casually hinting at it! Besides, the old man was already on his last legs, so why are you still holding on to him?"
yes.
The dead cannot be resurrected.
so.
Qiao Xi looked at her deeply and said, "Why do you think I came to the imperial capital? To become the president of the Chinese Medicine Association? To become famous in the imperial capital? Or to scheme for power and status? None of that. I only came to seek justice for grandma."
"Lu Yingxue, even if you give me all the wealth of the Lu family, I will never let you go!"
What she always remembers in her heart is her grandmother's death.
All the wealth and power can't bring grandma back.
"She's dead! Qiao Xi, why are you so stubborn? When a person dies, there's nothing left. You need to think clearly!" Lu Yingxue was a little emotionally broken. "What good will it do you to destroy me?"
Qiao Xi asked coldly, "Do you always calculate the benefits before doing anything? Isn't there anyone who does it for justice?"
"justice?"
Lu Yingxue's eyes were red, but she laughed loudly. "Everyone in the world is here for profit! Are you too naive to talk to me about justice? No one has ever taught me justice since I was a child. There is only the law of the jungle. Qiao Xi, I'm going to ask you those conditions one last time. Are you not going to agree to them?"
"No."
Qiao Xi refused quickly.
She doesn't like it at all.
Lu Yingxue rubbed her aching knees and stood up, her face full of undisguised malice. "That old woman deserves to die! She died for you. If you had died, she wouldn't have suffered. Blame you! Blame your master Cheng Han! You want to destroy me with just a scandal? It's not that easy!"
There is still room for all this!
She can still clear herself even with irrefutable evidence!
After saying that, Lu Yingxue hurriedly walked out of the Zhong family's living room.
Sun Weimeng looked at her from behind and sneered, "Why is she so arrogant? As long as we upload the photos and videos of her and Zhong Lingxiao online, her reputation will be ruined."
"Maybe she has some arrogant trump card."
Qiao Xi frowned and said, "Although the Lu family relied on its reputation to squeeze into the four major families, they have been operating for so many years and they must have some hidden tricks that we haven't discovered. We still can't be too relaxed."
"Don't worry about it, we've got you covered." Huo Xingzhou patted her shoulder gently and comforted her. "Today's events were perfect, but there's still a lot of mess to come. Master Zhong, the Zhong family has expelled you now. What are your plans?"
Zhong Yi laughed and said, "Then take advantage of his illness to kill him!"
Qiao Xi reminded softly, "The old man can't really die, otherwise you will also be cursed in the imperial capital in the future."
That old man had stood firm in the imperial capital for many years, admired by many. If he died like this, it would inevitably be a source of grief. The elders might not express their dissatisfaction with Zhong Yi out loud, but they might secretly make enemies.
There will be a lot of trouble later.
Zhong Yi's gaze towards Qiao Xi softened considerably. "What I mean is that the Zhong family is in such a mess that it's perfect for taking advantage of the situation. What Zhong Lingxiao and his son want most right now is to remove me from the family and let the old man die of illness. That way, the Zhong family will fall into their hands."
They are the ones who are most looking forward to the old man's death.
Zhong Yi wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get what he wanted so that he would have the capital to negotiate.
"Then we must find a way to keep the old man alive."
Qiao Xi looked at him and said, "If you need any help, just ask. I can't do other things, but I can cure illnesses and save lives."
"Um."
Huo Xingzhou watched from the side, feeling a little jealous.
I feel sad.
On the other side, Wanjiang's people had already packed up all the things they liked and moved them into the car.
Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi had no reason to stay any longer, so they left together.
But the Zhong family's ancestral hall was still very noisy. The guests in groups of three or four were discussing today's scandal and waiting for an explanation from the Zhong family.
However, after waiting for a long time, no one from the Zhong family came out, and many people left on their own.
When he left, his face didn't look very good.
Especially Pei Zheng.
His face turned pale as he got into the car and left the Zhong family.
Inside the car, Pei Gan didn't even dare to breathe. He stole glances at his eldest brother several times before finally summoning up the courage to ask, "Brother, are you angry?"
Pei Zheng glanced at him, with some obvious irritation in his eyes: "Do you even need to ask this?"
"Then what should we do? The Zhong family seems to be in chaos."
Pei Zheng scoffed, "I originally thought Zhong Lingxiao was a smart man, but I didn't expect that such overwhelming wealth would make him lose his composure. The old master was indeed interested in handing the Zhong family over to him, but he is such a disappointment."
That child was not his biological child.
As soon as the old man fainted, he hurriedly wanted to expel Zhong Yi from the Zhong family, exposing his ambition.
Pei Gan said cautiously, "So, Zhong Lingxiao is useless now?"
"No, it's very useful."
Pei Zheng has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his mind is very dark. After all, he is capable of doing things that will wipe out the roots.
"How do I use it?"
"Zhong Yi is a very interesting person. He will definitely fight back. The internal strife within the Zhong family is a time for my Pei family to reap the benefits. This time, I will not help anyone. Perhaps after the internal strife, our Pei family can still suppress the Zhong family."
Pei Zheng’s plan was very good.
When the Zhong family is in chaos, it is a good time for the Pei family to take power.
Zhong Lingxiao should be able to make good use of it and kick it away at the last moment.
Pei Gan flattered him: "Brother, you are really amazing. If our Pei family were without you, we wouldn't know what to do."
Pei Zheng glanced at him and said, "Don't think I'll unfreeze your bank card just because you say nice things. You'd better arrange your marriage with the Feng family as soon as possible. I heard they've opened up overseas sales channels and have been doing quite well in recent years. If our Pei family's domestic transportation channels were combined with theirs, we could completely control half of the domestic transportation volume."
The Pei family is in the transportation business.
It controls many ports across the country, and its land and air transportation are also very developed. It is involved in various industries and is considered the lifeline!
"Ah, I really don't want to marry that girl Feng Nanxi. I've been laughed at to death these past few days."
Pei Gan was really reluctant, but he had no money in his card recently.
"This matter cannot be discussed."
Pei Zheng's tone was firm.
When he inadvertently looked out the car window, he saw two familiar figures and was stunned for a moment.
He ordered calmly, "Pull the car over."
