Chapter 508 He Wants to Kiss Her
Lu Yingxue's throat tightened as she spoke carefully, "My father kept a clear distinction between public and private life, and he was always strict with me. But it was under such high standards that I was able to succeed. I believe that with my abilities, I can win first place in the needle testing competition."
Zhong Yi glanced at her gently and said, "Yingxue, although you are very capable, there are always people who are better than you. If someone has the same score as you in the next competition, and your father needs to make a decision, what will he choose?"
"he……"
Before Lu Yingxue could say anything, she was interrupted by Zhong Yi.
He said, "Based on Uncle Lu's upright character, he must have eliminated you."
Lu Yingxue pursed her lips tightly, feeling trapped in a difficult situation.
She wanted to say that her father would never eliminate her at the critical moment. The first round was just a show to gain a good reputation!
But you can't tell this to others.
Otherwise her father would look like a sanctimonious hypocrite!
"Yingxue, do you think I'm right?" Zhong Yi's beautiful eyes seemed to see through people's hearts. He knew that she was in trouble, but he deliberately made trouble for her and wanted her to say something against her will.
Lu Yingxue nodded helplessly: "Then, Yi, do you have any good ideas?"
She knew that Zhong Yi couldn't have brought up this matter for no reason, and there must be other purposes.
Zhong Yi's rosy lips slowly opened and said, "Change the judges."
Lu Yingxue's heart skipped a beat, and many thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant.
"Ayi, we can't find anyone else who can take on this important task. Vice President Wu Yaoshan was in a car accident and is recuperating in the hospital. Many veterans couldn't stand the long journey and declined the invitation from the Chinese Medicine Association. That's why my father had no choice but to serve as a judge."
Zhong Yi smiled inexplicably, "Master Huang, the master of acupuncture, can take on this important task."
"Mr. Huang? He has retired!"
"Our old master and Mr. Huang are old friends. He'll definitely agree if you ask. I remember when you treated my serious injuries, he personally promised you a favor. Why not use it here... If I ask the old master, he'll think twice."
Zhong Yi patiently coaxed him: "If you can ask the reclusive Mr. Huang to come out of seclusion to avoid suspicion, the entire imperial capital will praise your character. Your father won't have to avoid suspicion either. And you are gifted. If you take this opportunity to become Mr. Huang's only disciple..."
His passionate eyes seemed to have a bewitching charm.
Lu Yingxue's mind quickly analyzed the pros and cons.
This deal is worth it!
First, if we can invite Mr. Huang, the Lu family’s reputation will be further enhanced!
That was Mr. Huang, the heir of the golden needle technique. Many great men couldn't invite him! But she, a girl, managed to invite him...
Her father orchestrated the car accident of Vice President Wu Yaoshan just to vacate the position of Vice President to pave the way for her.
The position of judge is irrelevant, it makes no difference whether there is one or not!
Lu Yingxue is also proud in her heart, she believes that she will win!
Besides, she already knew the content of the needle testing competition and had done it thousands of times under Lu Bannong's guidance.
The championship is in the bag!
As for Qiao Xi, the second round had already dug a trap for her. She couldn't even make it to the final round, so there was no need to worry.
Second, agreeing to follow his wishes will make him happy and cultivate the relationship between the two.
Third, she could invite Master Huang, the master of the Golden Needle Technique, so she could learn a few techniques through the connections of the Zhong family. It would be a pleasant surprise if she was accepted as an apprentice, as the Golden Needle Technique had no successor!
If Mr. Huang dies, the tradition will be lost!
Kill three birds with one stone!
This is a very good suggestion.
Lu Yingxue analyzed all the pros and cons before looking at Zhong Yi: "Yi, do you really want me to win?"
Zhong Yi's face was beautiful, and his eyes looked at her intently: "If you win, I win. We are one, and I don't want any problems to arise."
Lu Yingxue suppressed her doubts and believed what he said!
What Zhong Yi said is indeed true!
Lu Yingxue blinked her eyelashes and spoke in a gentler tone: "Then... does Yi have feelings for me?"
"However much you have, I have."
Zhong Yi didn't say it directly, he moved closer.
Lu Yingxue's breathing quickened. Of course she liked a man like Zhong Yi, who was both talented and uninhibited, full of contradictory charm. As soon as he approached, her nose was filled with his scent.
Lu Yingxue couldn't help but be bewitched and slowly closed her eyes.
Click.
A soft sound.
Insert the seat belt into the buckle.
The refreshing cool fragrance at the tip of her nose slowly faded away, and Lu Yingxue opened her eyes to see that he had returned to his seat.
She felt a little embarrassed and annoyed!
She thought Zhong Yi couldn't help but want to kiss her just now.
The young man said with a carefree expression, "Fasten your seatbelts in the back, too. I saw a news report a few days ago saying the seat directly behind the passenger seat is very dangerous. Besides, returning to the Zhong family's old house requires taking the Ring Expressway, and all passengers on the highway should fasten their seatbelts."
As he spoke, Zhong Yi also fastened his seat belt.
The ambiguous atmosphere in the car just now was swept away.
Lu Yingxue bit her lip tightly, and finally uttered a word after a long while: "Ayi is really cherishing his life."
Zhong Yi chuckled softly: "After all... I almost died once. I can't lose my life at the peak of my career."
Lu Yingxue didn't say anything else. She turned her head and looked out the car window.
I always have a very strange feeling in my heart. After reviewing what Zhong Yi said just now, it is indeed beneficial to their Lu family.
There should be no reason for Zhong Yi to be at odds with the Zhong family.
"Yingxue."
Zhong Yi suddenly said, "When we get married, I'll renovate the Qian family's herbal medicine factory and give it to you as a betrothal gift. After all, your Lu family is the benchmark in the traditional Chinese medicine industry, and giving it to you will be the icing on the cake."
Lu Yingxue turned her head and looked at him in surprise.
When the Qian family's medicinal materials factory was at its most profitable, it made tens of billions of dollars a year.
He actually said he would give it to me?
These words completely dispelled Lu Yingxue's doubts.
Her smile became even sweeter: "Thank you, Yi, for always considering me."
She married Zhong Yi...
After the needle testing meeting, the two officially got engaged. They would probably be able to get married in a year or so, and she would soon be able to become Mr. Zhong's wife.
Husband and wife are one, there is no need to scheme against her.
She also had to keep an eye on the Guan family's movements and not let Guan Jingtan take advantage of them. The Guan family's fat piece of meat should belong to their Lu and Xiang families.
…
The car drove along the ring road and soon arrived at the Zhong family's old house.
The Zhong family's old house is a manor-style villa, built over a century ago, and exudes elegance and grace. The main building resembles a Renaissance-era Western-style house. This manor was chosen by the old man after he revitalized the Zhong family, and it is quite impressive.
As soon as the Cullinan stopped, an old butler came forward and opened the door.
"Second Young Master, Miss Lu. The old man is already waiting for you two to dine in the restaurant. Please come in."
"Thanks."
Lu Yingxue lifted her skirt and said modestly, "I feel really bad for troubling the old man to wait for a junior like me."
"We'll be a family soon, Miss Lu, don't be so polite."
Lu Yingxue smiled shyly at the right time.
Zhong Yi was very calm: "Let's go, eat first."
He seldom went back to the Zhong family's old house because there were many rules there and it was easy to run into the annoying Zhong Lingxiao and Zhong Hongfei, father and son.
The old housekeeper seemed to know what he was thinking and gently reminded him, "The young master and the master are not at home today."
"oh."
Zhong Yi responded.
Lu Yingxue reached out from the side and slowly held his arm.
Zhong Yi turned his head, his eyes staring at her hands with coldness.
