Chapter 358: Master Zhong Turns the tables
"Mingzhu, Mingzhu! I didn't even make it to the primary election, and someone is tackling me from behind. You have to help me! I won't be able to explain myself when I go home!"
Li Songwen obviously regarded Xiang Mingzhu as a life-saving straw.
He also loves Xiang Mingzhu!
If it weren't for Xiang Mingzhu's hint, he wouldn't have dealt with Qiao Xi.
It must have been Qiao Xi's gang that beat him.
Xiang Mingzhu couldn't break free from his embrace, so she said, "Li Songwen, let's go in and talk!"
It would be bad if someone saw them pulling and tugging in the hotel corridor.
Li Songwen agreed immediately.
He followed Mingzhu into the room, watched her close the door, and said, "Mingzhu, what should I do? I was ninth in the needle-testing competition ten years ago, and my family hoped I could make it into the top three this time. But I didn't even make it to the finals..."
He drank to drown his sorrows all night and was even put in a sack and beaten!
Bad luck!
Xiang Mingzhu looked down on him in her heart and said coldly, "What can I do? I also lost to Qiao Xi and was scolded by my uncle and cousin. Do you know how much hatred I have in my heart for admitting in front of so many people that the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles are not as good as the Nine Plum Blossom Needles?"
She was very depressed.
“Li Songwen, I never thought you were so stupid that you couldn’t even make it to the finals.”
Li Songwen was filled with humiliation at what she said, "Mingzhu, I lost the game because of you. You have to give me some benefits, right?"
He reeked of alcohol and reached out to touch Mingzhu, wanting to hug her and kiss her.
Xiang Mingzhu pushed him away: "Li Songwen! Be careful, I am Xiang's family. Before the game, I never promised you anything. If you continue to make trouble, I will call security."
Li Songwen said with red eyes: "Xiang Mingzhu, you are so cruel! You just take advantage of the fact that I like you and trample on me so unscrupulously!"
Xiang Mingzhu covered her nightgown with her hands and said, "I can show you a clear path. The preliminary round will only select the top 100 based on the points. I remember you were exactly 101st. As long as the person in front of you has an accident, according to the rules, you can enter the finals as a substitute. It depends on your own ability, do you understand?"
Li Song asked with a light in his eyes.
He still has a chance!
"I understand. Thank you Mingzhu."
Xiang Mingzhu said with a hint of disgust: "You should leave quickly, don't let anyone know that there is any connection between us."
She was going to marry Zhong Yi and become the young lady of the Zhong family in the future, so Li Songwen’s question was nothing.
Li Songwen staggered away.
He went back with a pig's face, feeling satisfied.
He has remembered today's grudge and will not let Qiao Xi go in the finals!
…
Early morning.
The night was completely late.
Wan Jiang, drenched in dew, returned to the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel. With a gossipy smile on his face, he approached the young man dozing on the sofa and said, "Master Zhong, what a surprise!"
Zhong Shao opened his sleepy eyes and said lazily, "What surprise?"
Wan Jiang respectfully handed him a dozen photos and said, "The people we sent beat Li Songwen, but Li Songwen actually went to find Xiang Mingzhu, and they took some photos."
Zhong Yi's slender white fingers flipped through the photos, one after another.
It was Xiang Mingzhu and Li Songwen hugging and kissing at the door of the hotel room. In one photo, they were almost kissing. Li Songwen was about to rip Xiang Mingzhu's nightgown off.
Because of the angle, it looks very ambiguous.
No one believes them if they say they have nothing to do with each other.
"Mr. Zhong, do you think this is an unexpected surprise?" Wan Jiang guessed his thoughts and asked tentatively.
"Well, I'll give you a house in the inner ring later."
It's unexpected when I like being generous.
Wan Jiang was ecstatic!
This was the best way to get rich overnight. He became a wealthy landlord with a house in the inner ring of the imperial capital.
Zhong Yi tapped the photo with his finger and said, "Besides the photo, is there anything else?"
"have!"
Wan Jiang said anxiously, "We originally broke the hotel's surveillance, but the people in charge were very reliable. They recorded Xiang Mingzhu's room the entire time. Li Songwen stayed in her room for more than half an hour."
Zhong Yi's lips curled up slightly, and a clear smile filled her affectionate eyes: "Wan Jiang, can you get it done in half an hour?"
Wan Jiang's face turned red when he was asked this question. He was in his thirties and he understood what Master Zhong meant.
But he also wondered if he was too dirty.
He could only smile dryly.
Zhong Yi smiled faintly: "Half an hour is about enough."
Wan Jiang pretended to be confused: "I think so."
Zhong Yi said, "Keep the video, it will be useful to me."
"OK."
Wan Jiang now knows his style of doing things and thinks ten steps ahead before taking one step.
Zhong Shao's affection for Xiang Mingzhu was completely false. He gave her the token of marriage to reassure her and let her follow his plan. After the matter was completed, Zhong Shao would definitely kick Xiang Mingzhu out.
At that time, he would falsely accuse Xiang Mingzhu of stealing his jade pendant. Regardless of whether it was true or not, the Lu family would definitely give up Xiang Mingzhu as a pawn in order to allow Lu Yingxue to marry smoothly into the Zhong family.
Now that we have such videos and photos, Zhong Shao can still turn the tables!
It is said that Xiang Mingzhu is having an ambiguous relationship with someone else, and when the matter is confronted, Xiang Mingzhu will definitely have nothing to say!
Master!
Wan Jiang could feel his planning and scheming every day he stayed with him!
He really takes his time!
He quietly lured everyone into the trap, boiling them like frogs in warm water so that none of them could escape.
No wonder an illegitimate child could occupy a place in a mansion like the Zhong family!
So smart that he's almost a demon!
"Wan Jiang, what are you imagining?"
"No, Master Zhong, I just silently praise your greatness in my heart!"
Zhong Yi smiled faintly.
…
the next day.
The sunlight is soft and bright, penetrating the clouds and pouring down to the earth.
Aunt Qian and Old Chen moved all of Qiao Xi's medical books to the rooftop terrace, ready to dry them in the sun.
When Huo Xingzhou walked into the corridor in a suit and tie, he watched them move piles of yellowed ancient books to the top floor.
"Good morning, Master."
Aunt Qian stopped and said, "Yesterday you told us to pack up the young lady's medical books and move them to your study. But since the weather is nice today, I decided to air the books. These young lady's medical books are very old and a little damp, so they need to be aired properly."
"Aunt Qian is very thoughtful."
Huo Xingzhou nodded slightly.
"Master, breakfast is ready. I wanted to finish drying the books before calling you and the young lady, but since you haven't woken up yet, I won't bother you."
As she spoke, the heavy pile of books in Aunt Qian's hands fell down.
Those old medical books fell to the ground with a clatter, and an old photo taken with a film camera floated out from the open pages. It was already faded and old.
Aunt Qian didn't pay attention. She picked up the books on the floor and continued to move them to the terrace.
Huo Xingzhou bent down, picked up the photo while twisting it between his fingers.
