Chapter 979 Let’s Call It Destiny
Huo family.
Qiao Xi removed the long needle that was stuck in Zhong Yi's acupoint.
He stood up again and gently removed the gauze covering his eyes. The gauze was covered with Chinese herbal ointment, which felt cool and refreshing.
She asked softly, "How is it?"
Zhong Yi slowed down, saw the obvious light spots and blurry figures in front of him and said, "I can see some things, but they are not very clear."
"That means it's working. At this rate, three more days should be enough. I was worried at first that this treatment plan wouldn't work, but the medication is a bit overbearing. If you feel any discomfort, just tell me."
"Um."
In fact, Zhong Yi felt a little uncomfortable when taking the medicinal bath.
Acupuncture is extremely painful.
But he endured it without saying a word.
Time waits for no one.
As soon as the Pei and Li families fell, many people were eager to get a piece of the pie.
But... Zhong Yi doesn't want to separate.
Why should they let others take advantage of them after they have put in the effort? Have those old foxes asked him before trying to make a profitless business?
"That's all for today. Let Wan Jiang take you to a medicinal bath first."
"You're going out?"
"Well, Xingzhou will take me to the Guan family later to settle these matters in the imperial capital."
There is still a tail that has not been cleared up for the Guan family.
"The Guan family is not suitable to be one of the four great families." Zhong Yi said lightly.
Although Guan Jingtan was a good person, he couldn't sustain himself in the imperial capital. Perhaps in a few years, the glory of the Guan family would be a thing of the past. Zhong Yi was a businessman, and he would definitely take action against the Guan family.
"Are you planning to attack the Guan family?"
"If there's competition, I won't give in just because of our past friendship."
Qiao Xi nodded and understood.
A moment later.
She packed her things and sat in the back seat of the car with Huo Xingzhou.
She leaned against the car window, watching the scenery pass by. She thought back to when she first came to the capital. Back then, she was completely in the dark, afraid of making mistakes and being framed by others.
Be careful everywhere.
But now my mood has changed.
Who would have thought that they came to the capital just to seek justice for Grandma Qiao, and never thought of messing up the capital into what it is now.
She looked out the window and said calmly, "If we return to Haicheng, who will take over the Huo family's assets in the imperial capital?"
Huo Xingzhou turned his head and his eyes fell on her. "When did you start caring about our family's business?"
"Just a casual question."
"We will send someone to take over. Haicheng is the headquarters."
"Is Jiaojiao back?"
"I left early to go back and prepare for the wedding banquet. Xie Xubai also went with me. Mother must hold a grand wedding banquet in Haicheng." According to Du Juan's words, she only had one daughter, so how could she let her marry off casually?
None of the relatives and friends from Haicheng attended Huo Sijiao's wedding banquet, so Du Juan planned to make it lively.
Of course, she also told Huo Xingzhou privately that she wanted to hold a wedding for him and Qiao Xi.
But Huo Xingzhou blocked his idea by saying that he had other ideas.
Du Juan complained to him for a few words, then devoted herself to the preparations for Huo Sijiao's wedding.
"I hope we can make it to Jiaojiao's wedding banquet." There was some longing in Qiao Xi's eyes.
When she married into the Huo family for good fortune, there was no ceremony.
She entered Huo Xingzhou's room in her wedding dress, and there was no wedding banquet. Perhaps everyone in their life longed for these things.
She is no exception.
only.
She stroked her slightly bulging belly and thought that it might not be possible before the baby was born.
"What are you thinking about?" Huo Xingzhou moved closer, and the warmth from his body almost approached her.
Qiao Xi shook her head, "Nothing."
But Huo Xingzhou's eyes seemed to have seen through her heart long ago. He stretched out his slender fingers and hooked her palm: "What kind of wedding banquet do you want?"
Qiao Xi opened her mouth slightly and looked at him.
This looks a bit silly.
Huo Xingzhou tapped the tip of her nose and put his forehead against hers.
Very intimate.
"I'm seriously asking for your opinion."
"Are we going to have a wedding reception too? Will that be too much trouble?"
"You say one thing and mean another." Huo Xingzhou had a faint smile on his face. "You clearly want it in your heart, but you're pretending to be stupid. I've taught you before, you can tell me directly what you want, and I can satisfy you."
"What about the stars in the sky?"
Children often ask this question.
Huo Xingzhou was amused by her expression. "That can be obtained for you. I know a lot of astronomers abroad, and they have the right to name the unknown planets they find. I'll find the biggest and brightest one and give it to you."
The one that can be observed with an ordinary astronomical telescope.
"What's that star called?"
"Qiao Xixing?"
“It doesn’t sound very nice.”
Qiao Xixing is weird.
"So what do you want it to be called?"
"You're the one who wants to give it to me, so you can name it."
A dark light flashed in Huo Xingzhou's eyes, and a word emerged in his mind, "Let's call it fate."
"Why?"
"Because it was fate that sent you to me."
He must cherish the gift of fate.
Qiao Xi smiled and said, "We are talking about naming planets here, as if we have already got it."
Old Chen in the front row said, "Young Madam, I've just contacted astronomers abroad and found the brightest unnamed planet currently observable. I've already purchased it in the Young Master's name."
The efficiency is really high!
Qiao Xi was stunned.
Huo Xingzhou burst out laughing.
The people around him are really good at flattery.
The car soon arrived outside the Guan family's palace. The stone lions at the gate were weathered, but they looked more dilapidated than before.
Guan Jingtan was standing at the door to greet her.
Seeing Qiao Xi get out of the car, he walked over and said, "But since you guys came here, Wen Li has been taking the medicine you prescribed. He's not as irritable anymore, but he's still very irritable sometimes. Is he going to get better?"
A person who has been stupid for many years and has been spoiled by others.
Even she sometimes felt annoyed when looking at Guan Wenli.
"The poison can be removed, though the process is painful. However, his temperament and character still require your guidance. Perhaps once his mind clears up, he'll understand your painstaking efforts."
But Qiao Xi felt it was impossible to expect Guan Wenli to revive the Guan family.
Guan Wenli has been deposed.
"We don't hold out much hope." Guan Jingtan sighed, "As long as we can remove the poison and let him live a few more years, that would be great."
Qiao Xi didn't believe the polite words. She said softly, "Why don't you see your old man?"
"I'm sick, so I asked Shen Xuanzhi to treat me."
I don’t know whether it’s a real illness or just a mental illness.
Qiao Xi didn't ask any more questions. She and Huo Xingzhou walked side by side into the yard where Guan Wenli lived.
I heard screams from inside before I even entered the door.
