Chapter 839 Their Family Owns a Mine
Huo Xingzhou didn't even change his posture, but asked in a low voice: "What news?"
Old Chen replied, "The Pei and Feng families are getting married, and the two families will be holding a banquet soon."
"Oh, as expected."
Huo Xingzhou knew Pei Zheng, a man who would achieve his goals. A small Feng family was just a piece of cake for him, wasn't it?
Even if the Feng family is unwilling, he will use threats and inducements to force them.
"Master, why did the Pei family have to pick on the Feng family? Could it be that the Feng family is really like what is rumored outside, that their ancestors left behind many treasures? Some people even say it's a gold mine."
Huo Xingzhou said seriously, "Privately mining gold is illegal."
Those important precious metals belong to the country.
"Hey." Old Chen scratched his head. "Master, these laws only restrict certain people. Those families don't care. They hold a lot of resources."
"Then you said the Feng family has a mine?"
"How should I know? You'll have to ask the Feng family. But they haven't told anyone that they own a mine."
Huo Xingzhou felt that Pei Zheng was not an impulsive person. Since he had chosen the Feng family, there must be something behind it. The Pei family wanted to use their marriage relationship to swallow up the Feng family and strengthen themselves.
Pei Zheng was not trying to support Zhong Lingxiao.
He wants to surpass the Zhong family.
"Old Chen, when is the engagement party?"
"Next week, they say they're sending out invitations everywhere, and they're sure our Huo family won't be left out. If they do, should we go, Master?"
"Go. How can we miss such a lively event!"
With the Lu family gone, the conflicts between the remaining major families became even more intensified.
The entire imperial capital knew about the internal strife between Zhong Yi and Zhong Lingxiao, and the Pei family's intentions to make a move. However, the Guan family seemed to have remained silent, not participating in any of the fights or taking sides.
They don't have the ability to reap the benefits while sitting back and doing nothing, and can only end up being eaten away by the winner.
"Then young master, we have to order dresses in advance. Master Yilin's studio has suspended operations and has not designed any new products this quarter. She said she is out looking for inspiration." The master is willful and can stop work whenever he wants.
Of course, you should wear a new style dress.
"Well, you can go to another one. Go investigate the situation first, don't make things so chaotic."
"Yes, Master."
Old Chen knew that the young master was now more cautious and took the young mistress's health into consideration.
"One more thing. Mr. Cheng is planning to leave the imperial capital. He was packing this morning and said he was going to fly back to Haicheng."
When Qiao Xi heard that Cheng Han was leaving, she became anxious.
She threw back the quilt and tried to get out of bed, but she almost fell down.
Huo Xingzhou quickly grabbed her and prevented her from falling to the ground, "Slow down."
"I'm fine, my legs just felt weak for a moment."
Qiao Xi stood up, put on a coat and walked out, "Old Chen, did Grandpa Cheng say the flight was today?"
"Yes, in the afternoon."
“It’s so sudden!”
Qiao Xi frowned and walked to the third floor.
She knew Grandpa Cheng would leave, but she didn't expect him to leave so early. He got drunk last night, and after sobering up today, he was going to leave the capital.
Huo Xingzhou comforted him, "Don't worry. Even if he really wants to leave, I will arrange everything. I won't let him go back to Haicheng alone at such an old age."
When the three of them walked to the third floor, they saw that Cheng Han's room door was open.
He was packing some clothes, which he packed in a simple backpack. Cheng Han didn't know much about the internet, so he planned to buy a plane ticket after arriving at the airport. After this trip, he probably wouldn't come to the capital again.
He heard the noise and turned around to see Qiao Xi looking at him with a pale face.
"You guys are here? I plan to go back to Haicheng today."
"Grandpa Cheng, it's too early."
"I've wasted so much time, it's time for me to leave. That's my home, and I really enjoy the quiet days in the village. My neighbors are very caring towards me, and I don't want to do anything else at my age. Besides, those people in the capital always want to use me to restrain you and clean up the mess of the Chinese Medicine Association."
Cheng Han didn't want to be a burden, so he said, "Qiao girl, do whatever you want. Don't worry about anyone. Even if you don't like the Chinese Medicine Association, you can quit. Anyway, our goal has been achieved."
Qiao Xi's eyes turned red and she nodded.
"Qiao girl, we are just ordinary people. It's good enough to have a clear conscience. You don't have to take on any heavy responsibilities. The future of traditional Chinese medicine cannot be placed on your shoulders."
"I know."
Cheng Han's words made Qiao Xi feel much more relaxed.
She had always thought that Grandpa Cheng had great ideals and hoped that she could reach his level. However, he did not have such an idea and only hoped that she would follow her heart.
Qiao Xi bit her lip and asked, "Grandpa Cheng, are you really determined to leave like this? What about Cheng Qingnian?"
"Let her be. I'm not kidding."
"I'm worried about you leaving like this."
"What's there to worry about? I came to the capital on my own." Cheng Han zipped up his backpack, put it on his back, and said, "Take good care of yourself. You need to take care of your health. I'll wait for you to return to Haicheng. Then we'll have more opportunities to meet."
Seeing that he was so stubborn, Qiao Xi didn't know how to persuade him.
Instead, Huo Xingzhou said, "I'll send a private plane to take you back so you don't have to travel too far. Don't be so hasty to refuse, or Qiao Xi will worry all the way. She cares about very few people, and you just happen to be a very important person to her."
"Old Chen, go make the arrangements."
He didn't give Cheng Han a chance to refuse.
Cheng Han was also helpless.
Huo Xingzhou smiled and said, "Let's have lunch first."
Cheng Han reluctantly agreed: "Okay."
Qiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief and the corners of his mouth curled up.
…
The lunch was a sumptuous one.
With Huo Sijiao and Sun Weimeng around, the dinner table is bound to be lively.
The two of them chattered louder than five hundred people, diluting the sadness of parting.
In the afternoon, the private plane drove to the helipad at the door and Cheng Han left directly.
When the plane took off, a Cullinan was parked at the entrance of the villa. When Zhong Yi came down, he happened to meet Huo Xingzhou face to face. He glanced at the plane that was already in the sky and spoke.
"Looks like I'm late."
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "It's too late. I can't even make it in time to see you off."
Zhong Yi looked at Qiao Xi, holding a gift box of supplements in his hand. "The capital isn't a good place for Grandpa Cheng. It's better for him to return to Haicheng. I heard you were sick, so I found some supplements for you to boost your immunity. I asked someone to check, and they're all safe for pregnant women."
Huo Xingzhou took it and said, "Thank you."
Zhong Yi said with a forced smile: "This is for Qiao Xi."
"Same."
Huo Xingzhou handed the supplements to Sun Weimeng and said, "Send them to the kitchen and let Xiaoyuan take care of them."
Sun Weimeng's eyes rolled around twice and he said, "Okay."
It seems that these two uncles are going to clash again today!
