Chapter 497 Plastic Sisters
A popular post from the Traditional Chinese Medicine forum popped up on the phone screen.
The once-a-decade finals of the Needle Test Conference are about to begin, and the forum is buzzing with discussion. Over a million members are online daily, most working in the medical field, while others are enthusiasts and followers of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
This event has attracted widespread attention.
So there are also many posts discussing popular players.
Among them, the most popular and prominent ones were the discussions about Xiang Mingzhu, Qiao Xi and Lu Yingxue.
When Xiang Mingzhu opened the post, she saw a screen full of words humiliating her.
"Qiao Xi is quite capable. She won first place in the preliminary round and lived up to Mr. Cheng's reputation. She can barely be an apprentice to Cheng Han, the national doctor. But Xiang Mingzhu is nothing."
"Xiang Mingzhu actually lost a bet with Qiao Xi in public during the preliminary round. What a joke!"
"If you ask me, neither of them can compare to the female Hua Tuo Lu Yingxue."
"I heard that after Lu Yingxue wins the championship, she will marry into the No. 1 family. The future of the Lu family depends on Lu Yingxue. And Xiang Mingzhu is ordinary, even her face can't compare to Lu Yingxue..."
"I'm from the imperial capital, and I know the inside story. To put it nicely, they're cousins, but to put it bluntly, Xiang Mingzhu is Lu Yingxue's personal maid! Since she was little, whatever Lu Yingxue said was an imperial decree, and Xiang Mingzhu always obeyed."
"Xiang Mingzhu isn't even worthy of carrying Lu Yingxue's shoes."
…
There are many more filthy and vulgar remarks like this.
Xiang Mingzhu held the phone tightly, gritted her teeth, and sparks came out of her eyes.
How is she inferior to Lu Yingxue!
That was all done by the elders in the family to build momentum for Lu Yingxue and deify her!
She originally felt a little guilty towards Lu Yingxue, as she felt it was unfair to their sisterhood to secretly steal her man away.
You can see it here!
Xiang Mingzhu was furious!
She wants to prove that she is more worthy of love than Lu Yingxue!
Lu Yingxue held the gift box in her hand and stood aside, admiring Xiang Mingzhu's undisguised anger, with a hint of contempt in her eyes.
If you want to be a stepping stone, you must act like a stepping stone.
Don't show your stupid arrogance.
Xiang Mingzhu turned around, looked at her seriously and asked, "Cousin, do you also feel that I have been inferior to you since childhood? I am not even worthy of carrying your shoes?"
Lu Yingxue's face was calm: "Of course not. Mingzhu is my best sister, I won't look down on you. Although your medical skills are indeed not as good as mine, there are other aspects that are better."
Xiang Mingzhu suddenly smiled: "Yes. My father and uncle both think that my medical skills are not as good as yours, but I have also worked hard for many years. I made a mistake in the preliminary round. There is no way I would lose to Qiao Xi in the final."
"It's great that you have this ambition. Either of us sisters can win, but Qiao Xi can't win."
Xiang Mingzhu nodded casually, "Cousin, remember what you said."
Anyone can win!
Don't be too embarrassed to lose when the time comes.
She must win to be qualified to stand before the Zhong family and replace Lu Yingxue, so that the Lu and Xiang families will change their minds and support her. If Young Master Zhong insists on marrying her, no one can stop him!
No matter how hard Lu Yingxue tries to commit suicide, she can't change the ending!
Xiang Mingzhu is ambitious.
Lu Yingxue would never have thought that the little lesson she gave her would become the catalyst for Xiang Mingzhu to betray her.
She felt that everything was in her own hands from beginning to end.
The world is like a chess game, and everyone is her chess piece.
…
At lunch time.
The small restaurant in the Huo family garden villa.
The aroma is rich.
The table was filled with delicious dishes, emitting an enticing aroma.
Lao Chen and Sun Weimeng sat on one side.
On the other side of the long table were three people. Qiao Xi sat in the middle, with Xu Yunye and Huo Xingzhou sitting on either side of her.
Like the left and right protectors.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
After the meal, Xu Yunye changed his previous cold and unruly appearance and diligently served soup to Qiao Xi, leaving Huo Xingzhou with nothing to do.
"You've been practicing acupuncture lately and need to expend your energy and replenish your brain."
Xu Yunye placed a bowl of fish head tofu soup in front of Qiao Xi and said, "Here you go."
"Thank you, second brother."
Qiao Xi couldn't refuse his kindness and started drinking it in small sips.
"These lotus root slices are sweet and refreshing. I remember you like them." Xu Yunye stretched out his left hand and used the serving chopsticks to pick up two chopsticks of lotus root slices for her.
"This lettuce with oyster sauce is also good."
"And the top-quality meat swallows purchased from the south..."
After a while, Qiao Xi's bowl was full of water.
Huo Xingzhou ate his lunch with a calm expression, his posture upright and his manners elegant. He made no unnecessary movements, but Sun Weimeng and Lao Chen exchanged a glance, and it seemed to them that he was not in a good mood.
There is an undercurrent of conflict between my brother-in-law and my brother-in-law.
While Sun Weimeng was tucking into the rice in his bowl, he was thinking about what topic to bring up to break this seemingly calm but dangerous deadlock.
His eyes were constantly scanning the table for what was happening.
Why!
Got it!
Sun Weimeng stared at Xu Yunye curiously and asked, "Xu Yunye, are you left-handed? Why didn't I notice this habit of yours before?"
Xu Yunye twisted his wrist and said, "I stretched the tendons in my right hand while racing last night. I'm ambidextrous, so both hands are quite flexible."
But sometimes he hated other people's surprised and inquiring looks, so he would mingle with the crowd and use his right hand.
Sun Weimeng was amazed. "I heard that people who are ambidextrous have well-developed left and right brains. Is that true for all geniuses?" He turned to look at Qiao Xi. "You two are twins, a boy and a girl. Would you be able to do that?"
Qiao Xi laughed and said, "I'm not ambidextrous. When I was little, Grandpa Cheng wanted me to practice acupuncture with both hands, but my left hand could never be as flexible as my right. So he gave up..."
Sun Weimeng thought, it turns out that not all geniuses are like this!
He shouted happily: "Xu Yunye, when you have time in the future, please teach me how to ride a heavy motorcycle. I will pay your tuition..."
It's so prestigious to ride a heavy motorcycle to pick up girls.
"good."
Xu Yunye didn't refuse, but was very easy to talk to.
As he spoke, he served Qiao Xi a bowl of chestnut roast chicken.
He was kidnapped by Huo Xingzhou halfway. He ate a chestnut slowly, ignoring Xu Yunye's vicious look.
Xu Yunye said coldly, like a hedgehog: "I gave it to Qiao Xisheng."
Huo Xingzhou chuckled and looked at him slowly, "Are you trying to stuff her to death? Qiao Xi has always been frugal and doesn't like to waste food. She always finishes the food in her bowl. She can't bear to refuse the kindness of your cheap brother, but she also doesn't want to waste it, so she can only stuff it into her stomach."
Huo Xingzhou never corrected Qiao Xi's habit, but only restricted his family from picking up food for Qiao Xi at will.
Take care of her appetite.
She had suffered a lot since she was little, so she knew how precious food was. She would not waste it if she could eat more.
After Huo Xingzhou said this, everyone reacted.
Qiao Xi seems to really have this habit.
"I……"
Xu Yunye had a complicated expression.
Qiao Xi quickly tried to smooth things over: "It's okay, I can eat it."
Xu Yunye felt a little frustrated. He wanted to compete with Huo Xingzhou, but he also felt that Huo Xingzhou had no choice but to marry Qiao Xi.
This is unfair to her!
But now, he found that he was not as good as Huo Xingzhou at all, and he didn't even notice such a small thing.
Huo Xingzhou measured the situation and tried to figure out people's hearts, giving them a good reward after a good one.
He looked at Xu Yunye, who was trying hard to hide his frustration, and said, "If you really want to be good to Qiao Xi, there is something very important that you need to do."
After hearing this, Xu Yunye suddenly raised his head and looked at Huo Xingzhou and asked, "What's the matter?"
Sun Weimeng and Lao Chen looked at each other, feeling that Huo Xingzhou was setting a trap for Xu Yunye.
Such a familiar recipe, like the one I used to fool them before.
