Chapter 551 Don’t Be Impatient
Lu Yingxue looked at him expectantly with affection in her eyes.
She had previously taken care of the seriously injured Zhong Yi in a special treatment room and had never entered his room.
As a fiancée, it's normal to make this request.
Zhong Yi glanced at her calmly and said, "Okay."
He walked in front.
Lu Yingxue followed, and behind her she could hear the teasing voices of Lu Bannong and Old Master Zhong saying that they had a really good relationship.
The Zhong family's old house is magnificent, and the family's heritage can be seen in the details. It is far from comparable to the Lu family, a new family that relies on Lu Bannong's medical skills.
Every time Lu Yingxue comes here, she is captivated by the exquisiteness of the Zhong family and she wants to become the hostess here.
Go up the stairs step by step.
After walking around the corridor decorated with Italian retro wall lamps, the two stopped in front of a door.
Zhong Yi paused, opened the door and walked in.
"Sit wherever you like."
His courtesy was somewhat impertinent.
Lu Yingxue saw the entire layout of the room, which was very elegant and tasteful.
The minimalist style is grey and white, but the use of velvet in details such as carpets and table lamps adds a touch of comfort, making the overall color scheme of the room less cold.
Several paintings hanging on the wall are niche paintings by well-known painters.
Lu Yingxue could only roughly recognize it.
She looked around before speaking, "Ayi, I believed you about the golden needles and the herbal medicine factory. I also believe what Mingzhu said today."
It's not that there are no doubts at all, but that we choose to believe it because of our own interests.
"You really want to get engaged to me, don't you?"
Lu Yingxue walked forward, stretched out her hands and slowly hugged him from behind.
She pressed her cheek against his back, feeling the energy contained in his body and the refreshing cool fragrance like aquatic plants.
She has three parts of affection for Zhong Yi, and seven parts is because he is very likely to become the next head of the Zhong family!
Zhong Yi pried her hands apart, turned around and looked at her and said, "The old man is indeed trying to induce labor, but you don't have to be so anxious. Some things should be discussed later."
Lu Yingxue choked, and the ambiguous atmosphere disappeared.
"That's not what I meant."
Zhong Yi said this as if she was very impatient, and Lu Yingxue felt a little annoyed.
"Really? I misunderstood. I didn't get enough rest these two days and I feel a little tired." Zhong Yi said lightly.
This sounded like a farewell.
Lu Yingxue was also a smart person and understood it instantly.
"Then we'll talk again when we meet. You should get some rest." Lu Yingxue paused and asked, "Last time, I hoped you would speak well of me to Mr. Huang and beg him to give me a chance to take me on as his disciple. Ah Yi, did you really do that?"
There was suspicion in her tone.
Without waiting for Zhong Yi to answer, he continued, "I've thought about it carefully, and it seems that Qiao Xi is the one who gets the benefits in the end. If Mr. Huang can accept one apprentice, he can also accept two. Ah Yi, you have to remember that we will be husband and wife in the future."
After Lu Yingxue finished speaking, she turned and left the room.
Zhong Yi slowly turned around and his eyes fell on the corridor.
Lu Yingxue is indeed much more difficult to deal with than Xiang Mingzhu.
I hope that what she said just now was just unintentional and not a sign of suspicion towards Qiao Xi.
…
Half an hour later.
The Lu family father and daughter walked out of the Zhong family's old house, and Lu Bannong, who had been smiling, suddenly changed his expression.
He frowned and said coldly, "Send two more people to investigate Mingzhu's matter. How could the Zhong family's dragon and phoenix pendant be lost so easily?"
Lu Bannong was just pretending to be in the Zhong family.
But doubts still exist in my heart.
When it comes to scheming and planning, how could Xiang Mingzhu possibly compete with Zhong Yi?
"Father, do you also think this is strange?" Lu Yingxue's pretty face was cold. "No matter how stupid Xiang Mingzhu is, she wouldn't come here and humiliate herself. Her love for Zhong Yi is real, and perhaps the things she said are also true."
Lu Bannong looked at her and warned her, "I'm asking you to investigate, not to make a big deal out of it. What we want to investigate is Zhong Yi's attitude and his motives for doing these things. It's good for us to know the answer, after all, you are going to marry him."
He wanted to know which words Zhong Yi said were true and which were false.
If he could find any clues, Lu Bannong would have to delve into Zhong Yi's motives.
Why didn't he want the Lu family to win the championship in the needle testing competition? It would obviously be beneficial for him to get the position of heir.
There must be a deeper reason!
Lu Yingxue took a deep breath. "If Zhong Yi really lied to us, then he's carrying a huge secret. If we can grasp this secret, perhaps our Lu family can control the heir of the Zhong family!"
By then, what will the Lu family have to fear in the imperial capital?
She has a vague idea, but she'll know once she finishes checking!
"Yingxue, you have always been smart. Don't let me down this time."
"What about Mingzhu? The Huo family wants to sue her for intentional injury. She was taken away from the competition and the media is flooding the media with scandals. Xiang Mingzhu is no longer of any use."
The Lu family treats worthless people like garbage and can be discarded at any time.
Lu Bannong frowned in disgust: "Let the Xiang family worry about it themselves."
A person who covets his cousin's husband is not worth his efforts!
"Okay, but I think the pearl still has some value that can be utilized."
Lu Yingxue said softly.
"Father, we should deal with those online rumors. Let them know that the reason I didn't win first place wasn't because I wasn't as skilled as others. It was because Xiang Mingzhu was jealous of me and drugged me. Her reputation is already ruined, and it doesn't matter if it gets even worse."
Lu Bannong nodded with satisfaction. "You've been very thoughtful. As a victim, you'll receive more sympathy and compassion. I'll arrange another interview for you tomorrow."
"Remember to spread the news of your engagement with Zhong Yi!"
The Xiang family is in trouble, save them if you can!
If you can't save it, then you can only abandon it!
…
The moonlight is hazy.
The night is dark.
The needle trial conference came to an end.
The news on the Internet was boiling, and the forum was full of news about the needle trial conference. Qiao Xi's life experience and experience were all dug out.
"She grew up in the countryside, yet she's actually the Liu family's lost daughter who's been missing for over twenty years! What a dramatic life!"
"The disciple of the national doctor Cheng Han is worthy of his reputation!"
"She's still so young, she's bound to have a bright future! I wonder where this Dr. Qiao will be seeing patients. I heard the Chinese Medicine Association arranges free consultations every month. I think it will be this new champion's turn next month!"
"Lu Yingxue is not bad either!"
"Yes, our Imperial Capital's female Hua Tuo has been treating us for free for so many years, and her medical skills are obvious to all!"
"Lu Yingxue must be very sad. She almost won the championship again."
"Xiang Mingzhu, you'll be in jail forever!"
"Xiang Mingzhu, get out of the traditional Chinese medicine community and stop tarnishing the sacred profession!"
The other side.
In the restaurant of the Huo family villa, everyone gathered together to enjoy delicious food and fine wine.
Sun Weimeng read out these online comments to his mobile phone.
Huo Xingzhou, who was sitting next to him, was almost attacked by his saliva, and stuffed a napkin into his mouth with a cold face.
Sun Weimeng said "Puh" twice, put down his phone and stopped talking.
But his eyes were rolling around, and when he glanced at the unfamiliar face opposite him, he had another bad idea.
