Chapter 614: Slap after Slap
Sun Weimeng looked at him teasingly and lowered his voice, "Do you need me to elaborate? It's just those noises anyway."
Qiao Xi asked, "What's that sound?"
"It was a sound like a woman crying or shouting. The soundproofing in this villa is pretty good, but I could still hear it. This shows that you really have no self-control. I didn't expect you to cooperate with him so well."
Sun Weimeng shook his head: "The world is really going downhill. I am just a bright light bulb."
Qiao Xi quickly defended herself: "I was drunk and crazy last night. I lose my memory when I'm drunk, so I don't remember anything this morning."
"How did you get drunk?"
"I accidentally got myself drunk. The champagne at the engagement party last night was exceptionally delicious, and I drank too much without noticing."
Sun Weimeng looked at her suspiciously, and after a pause he believed what she said.
Then he said, "Do you know how many big things happened in the imperial capital today?"
Qiao Xi shook her head while eating breakfast.
Sun Weimeng quickly gossiped, "First, the Zhong family sent people to give apologies to all the guests present." He pointed to the red gift box on the coffee table in the living room. "That was sent by the Zhong family. They were quite arrogant. They apologized but didn't seem to be servile at all."
"Secondly, I heard it from Old Chen. He said that he was staring at Lu Yingxue last night and said that the Lu family had hired several skin experts. I'm afraid Lu Yingxue is really disfigured this time."
"There's also news that a real estate developer surnamed Wang went bankrupt and fled, leaving the unfinished building to be taken over by the Huo Tianyuan Group's Imperial Capital branch. This was Huo Xingzhou's warning to them. That Wang got his comeuppance for spreading rumors about you and Zhong Yi last night."
"There is also an unconfirmed rumor that Guan Jingtan is going to marry Shen Xuanzhi."
Qiao Xi digested the news, the last one was the most unbelievable.
Guan Jingtan and Shen Xuanzhi are strangers who have nothing to do with each other. Why are they saying they are getting married?
"Isn't marriage the same as engagement?"
"It's just gossip, it might be fake! Don't take it too seriously. You should ask the person involved for details. But I asked last night, and Miss Guan said Shen Xuanzhi was only staying at the Guan family temporarily and didn't mention getting married."
Sun Weimeng sighed with a bitter face, "Oh, I'm heartbroken."
Looking at his appearance, Qiao Xi couldn't help but ask, "You have so many close female friends out there, how can this be considered a broken heart?"
"That was all just flirting! My true love is only Miss Guan!"
He also looked righteous.
Qiao Xi asked softly, "Does Jiaojiao know about this gossip?"
"Of course I know. I asked her right in front of her last night. She looked quite sad. I think Xie Xubai is more suitable for her."
Qiao Xi exhaled slowly and said, "She likes Shen Xuanzhi."
"Isn't it just that Shen Xuanzhi accidentally saved her? It was love at first sight, so I understand her psychology very well. Let's not talk about her anymore. I can follow you no matter what your plan is today. Huo Xingzhou told me to follow you closely."
The plot of a hero saving a beauty has existed since ancient times and is particularly effective.
Because in this situation, it is easy for both men and women to develop feelings for each other.
Qiao Xi opened her mouth, a wanton and delicate face flashed through her mind, and finally she suppressed the thought.
She didn't want Young Master Sun to know about this.
She looked at Sun Weimeng and said, "I'm going to rest at home today."
"oh."
Sun Weimeng suddenly lost interest.
…
The Lu family in Qiu Shui, halfway up the mountain in the imperial capital.
The wound on Lu Yingxue's right cheek had been treated and wrapped with gauze.
Last night, both Chinese and Western medicine experts had already diagnosed it. This type of injury will definitely leave a scar, but the exact depth of the scar will depend on the recovery period.
But Lu Yingxue has a scar-prone physique.
She is very annoyed!
"Where is Xiang Mingzhu imprisoned?" Her eyes were tinged with blue and bloodshot. Having not slept all night, her face was pale and bloodless.
The atmosphere in the Lu family was rather tense. The servants all knew that their eldest daughter had become a laughing stock at the engagement party last night. The future son-in-law had actually been fooling around with the unpopular daughter of the Ye family, and this had become the talk of the capital.
"To answer Miss, Xiang Mingzhu has been locked in the basement since last night. No one dares to let her out without your order."
"knew."
Lu Yingxue had a cold face. After her cheek was scratched, her entire right cheek was swollen.
Looks even harder to mess with.
She walked quickly to the basement and opened the door. The bodyguards hurriedly followed, fearing that she would be hurt by Xiang Mingzhu again.
The Lu family's basement didn't have much natural light. It was surrounded by shelves and bottles and jars, many of which contained medical books. It looked like Lu Bannong's studio, and the air was thick with the scent of medicine and books.
Snap!
Lu Yingxue slammed the light switch on.
The high-wattage lights illuminated the empty basement like daylight.
In the corner, Xiang Mingzhu couldn't help but squint, unable to adjust to the bright light. After a night of hard work, her makeup was greasy and her hair was a mess.
The dress she was wearing was wrinkled and had some signs of being torn.
She curled up on the side and noticed a large shadow falling in front of her.
Xiang Mingzhu finally adjusted to the situation. When she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Yingxue standing before her, her face covered in wounds. Before she could sneer, the bodyguard restrained her hands and made her sit still on a stool.
"Lu Yingxue, you..."
Bang!
Before Xiang Mingzhu could finish her words, she was slapped hard in the face.
"land……"
Bang!
Another slap.
Whenever Xiang Mingzhu wanted to speak, Lu Yingxue would slap her in the face.
The basement was empty and the sound of slaps kept echoing.
Xiang Mingzhu couldn't resist and could only let her beat her.
Soon, Xiang Mingzhu's cheeks were red and swollen, and there was even blood at the corners of her mouth. Her eyes were red as she stared at Lu Yingxue, the hatred in her eyes almost solidifying and overflowing.
Lu Yingxue looked at her coldly: "If you look at me with those eyes again, I'll gouge them out!"
Xiang Mingzhu spat out a mouthful of blood foam: "You hate me so much, this face must be beyond saving. Otherwise, you would have spared time to deal with me last night. Why wait until now?"
There is also a tacit understanding between the cousins. They grew up together and know each other very well.
Xiang Mingzhu cried and laughed like a madman, "I secretly hid the fruit knife in the kitchen and even bribed their chef. When I stabbed you, I used all my strength. I was thinking, I must destroy your face! Others are shouting that I killed someone, and I don't want your worthless life!"
"Lu Yingxue, I know you care about your face. You still want to be one of the two beauties of the imperial capital? Why are you pretending to be so arrogant? If your face is ruined, Zhongyi will only dislike you even more."
Xiang Mingzhu's face was swollen as she cried and laughed, "Zhong Yi said he doesn't like older women! You're two years older than him, no wonder he'd rather go to Ye Ying to satisfy his sexual needs than you! Now that he has Ye Ying, he'll look down on you even more!"
"Lu Yingxue, I'm not having a good time! Don't even think about it!"
"Xiang Mingzhu, shut up!"
