Chapter 496 The best is saved for the wedding night
Zhong Yi leisurely changed his posture, admired Wan Jiang's expression and spoke.
"Didn't you ask me where the money came from? Huo Xingzhou raised it for me, and we each invested half."
Wan Jiang lost his mind and muttered, "So you and Mr. Huo are now the Lu family's largest suppliers of medicinal herbs. On the surface, you are in control of the situation, but in reality, Mr. Huo is also a silent shareholder of the medicinal herb factory."
A silent partner shareholder refers to someone who actually contributes capital but whose name does not appear in the industrial and commercial registration or shareholder register. His existence is legal but his identity is hidden.
Apart from Master Zhong, no one knew what role Mr. Huo played in this.
Just now, Miss Lu was very touched that Young Master Zhong took over the Qian family's mess.
Who would have thought that there was a bomb buried there.
If the Lu family’s other medicinal material suppliers are cut off one day, they can only rely on these medicinal material factories to provide medicinal materials, which is equivalent to handing their lifeline into the hands of Zhong Shao and Mr. Huo.
"Wan Jiang, can you handle this?"
"Yes! Master Zhong, I will definitely get it done for you and won't let any news leak out." Wan Jiang assured again and again, "It's my honor that you think so highly of me!"
Zhong Yi nodded his chin slightly: "Yeah. If Zhong Lingxiao knew about this, I would scatter your ashes."
Wan Jiang felt cold all over and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
He even had an absurd guess in his mind.
I heard that a gambling game was set up at Devil's Gorge last night, and Qian Shao lost hundreds of millions in one night. Miss Qiao forced Qian Shao to write an IOU for 800 million at an 80-to-1 odds.
This morning, the Huo family went to collect debts in a large group.
This money invested in buying out the Qian family's mess, wouldn't it be that the wool comes from the sheep itself?
Did Miss Qiao win this money from the Qian family?
Zhong Yi saw that he was in deep thought and suddenly asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Wan Jiang was shocked. He didn't dare to hide it and said, "I was thinking about Miss Qiao's heroic deeds last night. I wonder if she took the money..."
"It was used to acquire the Qian family's medicinal materials factory."
It’s true!
Wan Jiang couldn't help but admire that these big bosses are all talented!
If the Qian family knew about this, they would probably be furious!
Wan Jiang asked, "The money belongs to Miss Qiao, so why is Mr. Huo's name on it?"
Zhong Yi sneered deeply, got into the car and slammed the door shut.
There was a chill in his eyes.
Last night, early morning.
Zhong Yi also asked Huo Xingzhou this question on the phone. Since the investor's name was hidden, why didn't he write Qiao Xi's name?
What did that bastard say?
He said that Qiao Xi gave him the IOU of 800 million as a gift and showed it off.
It’s bad luck to come to the hospital to see Lu Yan this morning!
Zhong Yi knew better what Huo Xingzhou was thinking as a man.
He didn't want the names Zhong Yi and Qiao Xi to appear together.
Zhong Yi reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a surge of irritation in his heart.
Putting personal feelings aside for the moment, he still has a lot of things to do.
There were many things that pushed Qiao Xi further and further away.
"Wan Jiang, drive! I want to go back to the Zhong family's old house."
"Okay, Master Zhong."
Wan Jiang didn't dare to offend him, so he got into the car quickly and drove towards the Zhong family's old house.
…
And in the hospital.
Lu Yingxue stood in the corridor for a long time. She took out the box of golden needles and looked at it again and again. She saw the mark on it, which was indeed the mark of the Huang family's golden needles.
I like it...it really shows my thoughtfulness.
She lowered her head and smiled.
At the corner of the corridor, Xiang Mingzhu, wearing a luxury, high-end Chanel-style suit, took in the entire scene. Hiding the jealousy in her eyes, she smiled innocently and walked towards Lu Yingxue in her high heels.
"Cousin, why are you so happy?"
She asked even though she knew the answer.
Lu Yingxue looked up and saw her, a faint smile in her eyes. Naturally, Lu Yingxue liked this cousin who was inferior to her in every way. From childhood to adulthood, she would always bring Xiang Mingzhu along to any big event where she was present.
The eldest daughter of the Xiang family, one of the four great families, serves as Lu Yingxue's foil.
Just right.
"Mingzhu, why are you here?"
Xiang Mingzhu didn't dare show any weirdness in front of Lu Yingxue, for fear that this clever cousin would notice what she was thinking.
She said, "I came to see Lu Yan. I heard he was seriously injured. It's all the fault of Qiao Xi and Xu Yunye, the damned brother and sister, who didn't show any mercy. Now Lu Yan has become the laughing stock of the whole city, and our Xiang family's stock price has been falling."
The current year is not favorable.
Lu Yingxue held Xiang Mingzhu's hand with her delicate, fair hand and whispered, "Don't worry. After the needle trial meeting, it will be the Zhong family's succession ceremony. Everything will be fine after Ayi and I get engaged."
Ayi?
Calling so affectionately.
Xiang Mingzhu was unhappy, but she said, "Really? Then congratulations, cousin. Although the Zhong family hasn't announced the identity of the heir yet, it's very likely to be Young Master Zhong. Then, cousin, you'll be the Young Mistress of the Zhong family, the Young Lady of the first family in the imperial capital."
Lu Yingxue smiled softly and gently. She looked at Xiang Mingzhu and said, "You are not young anymore. It's time for you to find a suitable person to settle down. I originally thought that you and Lu Yan had a deep relationship since you were friends since childhood, so I wanted to ask your uncle to bring you together. I didn't expect Lu Yan to have such an accident..."
Xiang Mingzhu immediately shook off her hand.
OK!
Lu Yingxue climbed up the ranks of the Zhong family and wanted to marry her to that bastard Lu Yan.
Is this going to keep me underfoot for the rest of my life?
Lu Yan's father was only adopted by the Lu family, and Lu Yan was not even a proper young master of the Lu family. How could he want to marry Xiang Mingzhu just by relying on the power of the Lu family?
dream!
A feeling of dissatisfaction welled up in Xiang Mingzhu's heart, and she became more and more disgusted with Lu Yingxue's pretentious and condescending attitude!
"Mingzhu..." Lu Yingxue looked at her in confusion, "Why such a big reaction?"
"Cousin, I already have someone I like." Xiang Mingzhu forced a smile, "Don't try to match me up with someone else."
Lu Yingxue kept a careful eye on him: "Who is it?"
Xiang Mingzhu avoided looking at him and said, "I'll tell you after the needle testing meeting."
"Mingzhu, our marriage is a matter of great importance to the fate of our family. You can't just marry anyone casually. You have to be careful." As an elder sister, Lu Yingxue advised.
Xiang Mingzhu retorted, "The person I'm looking for isn't random; he might be quite impressive. Cousin, I don't think you and Master Zhong are on good terms. He rarely dates you, so I guess he just happened to meet you while visiting the hospital."
Why did Lu Yingxue act like an elder and accuse her at will?
If Lu Yingxue can marry someone, why can't she marry Xiang Mingzhu!
She insisted on snatching it away to show the elders that she was no worse than Lu Yingxue!
That night.
At Yunqi Hotel.
Mr. Zhong said a lot to her, and his affectionate eyes looked at her intently.
He said she was the most straightforward and passionate girl he had ever met, and that there was a burning fire in her, which was the look he liked.
She is a bright pearl and should shine brighter instead of having her light obscured by anyone.
Xiang Mingzhu's heart was moved and she fell deeply in love with him.
She had an urge in her mind to become his that very night.
What a pity.
He said the best should be saved for the wedding night.
Xiang Mingzhu felt that the ancient saying "A gentleman is like jade, which is as delicate as a jade and as polished as a stone" probably refers to a man like him who is polite, sober and strong.
Lu Yingxue looked at her with her eyes full of spring and her cheeks rosy, and felt uncomfortable.
I want to curb her arrogance and make her put herself in her place.
She said slowly, "Mingzhu, don't worry about what's going on between Master Zhong and me. Just don't take the discussions on the Traditional Chinese Medicine Forum to heart. Those people are innocent, and it's not..."
Xiang Mingzhu came back to his senses and asked with a frown, "What are you talking about?"
Lu Yingxue's expression was natural, with a hint of surprise mixed in with worry: "You don't know? Then don't look at it."
Xiang Mingzhu insisted on seeing it!
She immediately took out her cell phone, searched for the Traditional Chinese Medicine Forum, and logged in with an internal account.
