Chapter 548 Zhong Yi, you are doing this for that country girl
Xiang Mingzhu's words fell.
Lu Yingxue and Lu Bannong were both shocked!
Lu Yingxue was the first to speak: "This is impossible! How could Zhong Yi say such a thing? How could he fall in love with a fool like you?"
This is a great humiliation for Lu Yingxue!
Xiang Mingzhu is inferior to her in every way. Who would give up her excellence and choose Xiang Mingzhu, such a fool?
"It's true! Uncle, I'm not lying." Xiang Mingzhu cried, "Mr. Zhong and I have known each other since we were in Haicheng. We've been having a secret relationship, afraid you wouldn't find out. We even booked rooms at the Yunqi Hotel several times... And he gave me the dragon and phoenix wedding pendant you got engaged with! It's on the dresser in my room!"
She spoke with certainty.
Lu Yingxue bit her lip, hesitant. "If you lie, I'll make sure you die! Even if we're cousins, I won't let you go."
Lu Bannong said coldly: "Whether she is lying or not, just look at her dressing table and you will know. Yingxue, call the Xiang family now and ask the servants to check her dressing table."
Lu Yingxue snorted coldly, took out her cell phone and called the Xiang family to explain the task.
After a while, Xiang's family called.
He said that he had indeed found the dragon and phoenix pendant on Xiang Mingzhu's dressing table.
The evidence is conclusive!
Lu Yingxue had no choice but to believe it, it turned out that Zhong Yi was really having an ambiguous relationship with Xiang Mingzhu.
Lu Bannong's face turned pale. "On the one hand, he bewitched Mingzhu into winning the needle-testing competition, causing her to commit a heinous crime. On the other hand, he threatened to marry you, give you golden needles, and take over the Qian family's herbal medicine factory. What exactly is this Young Master Zhong up to? I'm afraid I have to ask him in person!"
Even Lu Bannong couldn't see through Zhong Yi's purpose!
But I feel that the visitor has bad intentions!
The Lu family has never done anything wrong to him, so why are they so vicious!
Is it a coincidence or intentional? The only way is to go and ask!
After hearing what he said, Lu Yingxue also felt it was very strange!
"Then are we going to the Zhong family now?"
"You go find a lawyer to help Mingzhu get bail. We'll take the dragon and phoenix pendant and go to the Zhong family to demand an explanation! The Zhong family may be the most prestigious family in the capital, but they can't bully others!"
Lu Bannong was furious.
If Zhong Yi really did all this on purpose, he would not let Zhong Yi off easily!
Even though he is the young master of the Zhong family, there is still Zhong Lingxiao above him!
It’s not like he is the only one who can inherit the Zhong family!
"good."
Lu Yingxue was filled with resentment. She looked at Xiang Mingzhu coldly and turned away.
Xiang Mingzhu wiped her tears and said, "Thank you, uncle. But Master Zhong..."
"You still miss him?"
Lu Bannong sneered at her, "You're now facing a case and your reputation is ruined. The Xiang family isn't as prosperous as it once was. What qualifications do you have to compete with Yingxue for this marriage? Besides, if Zhongyi were smart, he wouldn't have chosen you."
"But the agreement between me and him is real, he..."
"Oh."
Lu Bannong looked at her mockingly, "You should think more about how to deal with the Huo family's lawsuit. This is just temporary bail, not acquittal. If you have conclusive evidence and go through the necessary procedures, you will still be sentenced."
Xiang Mingzhu's face turned pale and he felt panicked.
"Uncle, my father loves me the most. He..."
"He's in emergency! He saw you being taken away by the police and then admitted to the hospital. Xiang Hai will be killed by you useless kids sooner or later. There's no hope for the Xiang family anymore."
Lu Bannong was in a very bad mood. He shouldn't have been so closely tied to the Xiang family in the first place.
Although Xiang Hai is smart, he has been working so hard for so many years and his health is useless!
The three sons and one daughter of the Xiang family are all idiots!
Xiang Mingzhu became even more terrified when she heard that Xiang Hai was admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment!
If her father hadn't been able to save her, would no one have been able to save her?
Her uncle and cousin hated her to the core, how could they possibly lend a helping hand?
Her eyes were filled with tears, and a handsome and noble figure suddenly flashed through her mind.
Only him!
She must fight for the last glimmer of hope.
The lawyer hired by the Lu family quickly arrived at the police station, completed the bail procedure, and took Xiang Mingzhu away.
The Lu family father and daughter had cold faces and walked towards the Zhong family with Xiang Mingzhu in fear.
…
Zhong family.
In the reception room.
The old man of the Zhong family sat on a carved nanmu chair, his hands folded at his sides, his eyes fixed on Zhong Yi, who was leisurely brewing tea in front of him.
"The needle testing competition is over, and your fiancée is not the winner. Don't you have anything to say to me?" The old man asked him, holding a piece of soft pastry in his hand.
Zhongyi picked up the top-grade Dahongpao and brewed it once.
Then pour it into the fairness cup and give him one cup.
Put the teacup in front of the old man.
Zhong Yi then spoke slowly, his tone tinged with regret: "What a shame! Lu Yingxue didn't win the first prize in the needle testing competition. I thought the Lu family had a sure win this time."
Old Master Zhong didn't drink his cup of tea and his expression turned a little colder.
"Are you truly sorry, or are you just pretending to be? The Lu family can't figure out why you're doing this, but I know exactly why. You're doing this for that girl from the country!"
Old Master Zhong's expression was serious. "Don't forget your identity. I have warned you again and again."
Zhong Yi held up the teacup, took a sip and said, "My identity is the tool you found to continue the family bloodline. You are so afraid that the Zhong family's inheritance will be cut off!"
Bang!
Old Master Zhong dropped his teacup to the ground, his heart aching with anger. "It seems we should reconsider the heir of our Zhong family. Even if the direct lineage doesn't have one, we can always choose a capable one from the side branches."
Zhong Yi bent down and picked up the fragments on the ground bit by bit.
The corners of his mouth twitched as he spoke, "Don't I listen to you very much? Why are you still thinking of changing the heir? An heir who is too easy to control has no opinions of his own and can't protect the Zhong family. Zhong Lingxiao is quite opinionated and scheming, but it's a pity that he can't have children. Unless you can make him have children, otherwise, I will be the only choice."
Old Master Zhong stared at him with a cold gaze.
"Zhong Yi, there's no benefit in angering me. I hold your weak spot in my hand. I've taught you a long time ago not to expose your weak spot to others."
His weakness is Qiao Xi.
Zhong Yi turned her head and looked at him.
Their eyes met, and the air was as tense as a string about to break.
The servants beside them were silent as a mouse, not daring to make even the slightest noise, for fear of angering the two men.
Wan Jiang, who was standing behind Zhong Yi, prayed that Young Master Zhong would not quarrel with the old man. If he did, he would lose his position as the heir, and his future as the assistant would be ruined too.
Sudden.
There were footsteps outside the door, and the old housekeeper walked up to the old man and said softly, "Someone from the Lu family is here, and they want to see you and Young Master Zhong."
Old Master Zhong withdrew his gaze from Zhong Yi, his expression unhappy.
"Please let them in."
"Okay, old man."
The butler took the order, walked out and politely invited the Lu family in.
Zhong Yi's eyebrows were indifferent, and he winked at Wan Jiang behind him.
Wan Jiang's legs felt weak and his thighs were trembling. He knew that he was going to be blamed.
