Chapter 595 How could it be Xiang Mingzhu
"Please come in, Mr. Li!"
"The Pei family actually sent someone here too. It's Miss Pei from the side branch!"
"Guan Jingtan is here too! The man accompanying her is quite unfamiliar."
"He seems to be the descendant of the bird-pecking technique that won fourth place in the needle-testing competition. I heard he's also been treating the Xie family's old lady's headaches recently. This guy has some talent! I wonder if the Guan family wants him to treat Guan the Fool?"
"Xie Xubai is here too, and..."
There was a sudden exclamation from the door.
"Mr. Huo is here!"
"Mr. Huo from Haicheng Tianyuan Group!"
The name Huo Xingzhou became a hot topic among the people in the imperial capital due to his precise defeat of the Xiang family.
Hearing the noise, many people turned to look at the main entrance of the banquet hall.
Backlight.
The man was tall and slender, with a cold look.
That incredibly handsome face was truly remarkable. His slightly narrow eyes were calm, reserved, deep, and cold.
He was tilting his head slightly, listening to the whisper of the woman beside him. The cold snow between his brows seemed to melt, mixed with a few traces of tenderness.
Such special tenderness makes many people envious.
The woman standing next to him was wearing a white dress with a simple tube top that revealed her perfect swan neck. Her arms were white and smooth, and her right arm was decorated with a tulle bow.
The ribbons sway as you walk, like butterfly wings.
White dresses are the most picky and can easily expose body flaws.
What's more, she wore a very simple style, but she looked particularly eye-catching.
No one expected that Mrs. Huo, who usually doesn't like to dress up, actually has such a good figure.
"Sister-in-law, they were stunned by the sight of you and your brother."
Huo Sijiao, wearing a small red dress with a hollowed-out waist designed by Master Yilin, stood behind them and said.
She and Sun Weimeng got together temporarily and became a couple.
If you are alone at an engagement event like this, you will probably be laughed at.
"Qiao Xi is naturally beautiful. I also want to find a wife like her in the future." Sun Weimeng was still daydreaming. "It would be best if she is an excellent doctor, smart, kind, and beautiful. Huo Er, you are so lucky."
The tone sounded sour.
Huo Xingzhou glanced at him indifferently.
Sun Weimeng shut his mouth, "I didn't say I like Qiao Xi, how could I taint the fairy in my heart."
Huo Xingzhou said in a low voice: "It's best if you don't have any thoughts at all."
Qiao Xi covered her lips and smiled.
While chatting and laughing.
Another eye-catching pair appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall.
It can be called Beauty and the Beast.
Zhao Chang was wearing a suit, with a big belly. He had a smug smile on his face, and the woman next to him, dressed in a dress and looking like a puppet, was actually Xiang Mingzhu!
"Why is it Xiang Mingzhu!"
Huo Sijiao whispered, "She has always been proud and arrogant. No matter how poor she is, she wouldn't fall for a fat guy."
The smile on Qiao Xi's face faded. She looked at Huo Xingzhou and said, "I remember meeting that man at the Xie family's celebration banquet last time. You said he was Zhao Chang, a famous medicinal herb supplier in the southwest?"
"Um."
Huo Xingzhou's expression was very dull. "It seems that old fox Lu Bannong doesn't trust Zhong Yi and has found another way out for himself. Now it may be impossible to strangle the Lu family's lifeline by using the supply of Chinese medicinal materials. Xu Yunye has met this Zhao Chang and said that he is very difficult to deal with and is particularly good at Tai Chi."
"Then how could the Lu family impress him?"
"It's obvious that the Lu family sent Xiang Mingzhu."
Qiao Xi's eyes flashed with astonishment. "Xiang Mingzhu is Lu Bannong's niece, his sister's daughter. Is this possible?"
"No."
Huo Xingzhou took her hand and walked aside. "Xiang Mingzhu can only be regarded as an abandoned child of the Lu family. She can play such a big role. Lu Bannong must be very happy. How can he care about family affection?"
"What about Xiang Mingzhu's mother? Doesn't she care?"
"There might be something hidden here. I found out that Lu Yutong has been abroad and has a bad relationship with his family. It might be related to an incident from over 20 years ago. I need to look for Grandpa Cheng again."
Speaking of this, Huo Xingzhou frowned slightly.
Cheng Han has disappeared without a trace.
With his limited connections in the imperial capital, he couldn't find anything.
It's bizarre.
He also had a very bad premonition in his heart.
But before it is confirmed, I won’t tell Qiao Xi yet, so as to avoid her from worrying unnecessarily.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and looked at Zhao Chang and Xiang Mingzhu as they passed by her. Xiang Mingzhu's eyes were almost empty. She was wearing a revealing dress and clutched a bag tightly in her hand.
Zhao Chang was very popular among the guests, but his speech was vulgar.
He almost showed off Xiang Mingzhu like a trophy, letting her socialize and drink with the guests, just like a socialite.
It's really unexpected.
Huo Sijiao muttered, "Xiang Mingzhu must have something on him. Being so obedient is not like her style."
She had dealt with Xiang Mingzhu in her early years and knew deeply how ambitious Xiang Mingzhu was.
She didn't believe that Xiang Mingzhu's edges had been smoothed out in such a short time.
He must be holding back a big move.
"Sister-in-law, you better stay away from Xiang Mingzhu. Didn't she say she likes Young Master Zhong? If she's reduced to this state, and then sees Lu Yingxue so ostentatiously engaged to Young Master Zhong, won't she go crazy?"
Huo Sijiao pulled Qiao Xi's hand and urged, "Come with me, and let your brother go to the social event. Don't forget our big plan for today!"
Qiao Xiying opened her red lips and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Plus me!"
Sun Weimeng raised his hand enthusiastically, "Huo Xingzhou, you go and socialize. The security level of this engagement party is very high. There are security checks at the entrance, and there are also many bodyguards patrolling the venue. It won't be a problem. Besides, Lao Chen will be following us from a distance."
Qiao Xi's eyebrows curved: "You go, this kind of occasion must be very important to your business."
"Well, be careful then."
Huo Xingzhou gave Lao Chen some instructions before walking towards the group of eagerly awaited guests and started talking business.
"Let's go, sister-in-law!"
Huo Sijiao pulled Qiao Xi and slowly walked towards the circle of socialites and rich girls, and winked at Sun Weimeng.
They were ready to perform a double act. In such occasions, the rich and famous ladies talked about either beauty, dresses, jewelry and men.
Sun Weimeng made an "OK" gesture.
She held a bottle of champagne in a pretentious manner and began to speak loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm planning to open a beauty salon. I was looking online before..."
Before she could finish her words, a discordant voice interrupted her.
"Huo Sijiao!"
Pei Chun, wearing high heels, looked at her arrogantly.
During this period, she paid close attention to Huo Sijiao's movements every day. She discovered that this woman actually wanted to open a beauty salon and had actually bought the Furong Beauty Salon in the capital, which had been vacant for a long time and was suffering losses, and was still renovating it.
Furthermore, Huo Sijiao has been promoting scar removal products on social media, claiming that old scars can be faded, and that new scars can be almost completely removed with skincare programs, without relying on technology.
It's just a pipe dream!
False advertising!
She was going to expose her true face and make her plans to make money fail!
Trying to use such a big engagement party for advertising? No way!
