Chapter 620 I don’t want to marry, but I can marry
Madam Xie narrowed her eyes at the bag and said, "What is this? Clothes from Master Yilin's design studio? Oh, it's men's clothing. Xiaoyuan, why are you showing me this?"
Mrs. Xie looked very carefully and even opened the bag.
Many of the Xie family's clothes were custom-made, but the suit in this bag was a bit different from their usual style. Although it was a suit, it was black, a color Xie Xubai rarely wore. Even the cuffs and hems of the suit were embroidered with golden lotus flowers.
There is a kind of low-key publicity.
It's not like Xie Xubai's usual casual style.
"This isn't the batch of clothes that the Xie family custom-made. The golden thread lotus is quite special." The old lady asked Ning Yuan, "Where did this dress come from?"
Xie Xubai stood up, glanced at Ning Yuan coldly, and said, "It was a gift from a client." He quickly changed the subject and looked at Shen Xuanzhi and said, "Doctor Shen, is my grandma's acupuncture treatment almost over?"
Shen Xuanzhi said calmly, "We need to keep the needle in for now and remove it later."
"Okay, then please come with me first. I've got back what I promised you last time."
Xie Xubai stood up and was about to leave.
Madam Xie couldn't help but say, "Why did you leave? Xubai, you haven't explained clearly where this suit came from. Xiaoyuan, tell me secretly."
Ning Yuan lowered his voice and said three words, "Ms. Huo."
The old lady's face immediately showed surprise.
It's time to send clothes.
…
Backyard fish pond.
Xie Xubai and Shen Xuanzhi stood opposite each other.
Xie Xubai pulled a box from his suit pocket and handed it over. "After a simple cleaning, it's now back to its rightful owner. This will be your consultation fee."
Shen Xuanzhi took the box and opened it to see the string of round small-leaf red sandalwood Buddhist beads. He knew the patterns of each bead by heart.
This was my father's last possession, which he sold for his ridiculous self-esteem.
But I didn't regret that choice.
At least he paid off Huo Sijiao's debt.
"Thanks."
Shen Xuanzhi closed the box and whispered, "Xie Xubai said this was the consultation fee. He knew very well that he had taken advantage of it."
His consultation fee is not that expensive.
Shen Xuanzhi raised his head and looked at him and said, "The consultation fee will still be charged as normal. I will transfer the difference to you. Please give me your account number."
Xie Xubai glanced at him and took out the payment code from his mobile phone and gave it to him.
“It seems that Dr. Shen is very popular in the imperial capital recently, and the Guan family treats you well.”
When Shen Xuanzhi heard him mention the Guan family, his expression became even colder.
"I won't owe you anything." He always did things this way, with thorns all over his body and no way of thinking. Most of his forbearance in life was given to revenge.
Shen Xuanzhi scanned the payment code and transferred the remaining money to Xie Xubai, and then listened to Xie Xubai speak.
"In fact, there are no secrets in the upper class of the imperial capital. Guan Jingtan cannot marry outside the capital, so she can only recruit a son-in-law. And you are from Haicheng, not involved in the struggles of the imperial capital, and you have both skills and scheming, so you are the best choice."
But now Shen Xuanzhi is still too young in front of Xie Xubai.
"The matter has not been announced yet, and everything is still unknown." Shen Xuanzhi said stubbornly. The resentment in his chest was deeply suppressed.
Xie Xubai said calmly, "Then I'll wait for the announcement. If there's a happy event, our Xie family will also ask for a glass of wedding wine. But Dr. Shen, don't waver. If you really marry someone, be wholeheartedly devoted."
When Shen Xuanzhi heard these words, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. He asked, "Then will the Xie family and the Huo family form a marriage alliance?"
When he first met Xie Xubai, he felt a sense of threat from him. He knew that Xie Xubai was interested in Huo Sijiao.
Even though the man in front of her behaved very properly, the Xie family had a good reputation.
However, Shen Xuanzhi was unable to face Xie Xubai with a normal attitude, and always had a critical prejudice towards him.
He hid that faint hostility deep in his heart.
Xie Xubai turned and looked at him: "I did have the idea before, but Mr. Huo rejected it."
Shen Xuanzhi's heart moved slightly. He admitted that he was a bit mean, and he felt a little happy to hear such words. But he also knew that Huo Sijiao would not tolerate any sand in her eyes. Even if nothing happened between him and Guan Jingtan in the end, and they were just a couple in name only.
What right did he have to expect Huo Sijiao to wait for him?
She is the eldest daughter of the Huo family!
There is a world of difference between him and her.
But before Shen Xuanzhi could be happy for long, he heard Xie Xubai say, "The Huo family and I may not have an alliance, but we can form a family."
Marriage alliances are based on interests, but marriages are different.
When Shen Xuanzhi heard the word "marriage", he clenched his hands tightly at his sides.
His heart suddenly tightened.
He didn't like Xie Xubai's tone, and he didn't want to hear anything he said about Huo Sijiao. He couldn't help but feel jealous and couldn't help but speculate about what happened between them.
Everything about Xie Xubai is at a level that he can hardly reach.
"Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'm going to go remove the needles for the old lady." He and Xie Xubai had no friendship, and he didn't want to have any friendship in the future.
Xie Xubai said slowly: "Well, she gave me a set of clothes."
Shen Xuanzhi suddenly became furious.
My heart feels so blocked.
But he has always been taciturn, trying his best to hide the turbulent emotions in his heart.
Shen Xuanzhi rarely said: "Really? She has given me more things."
After saying that, he turned around and walked back into the living room.
Xie Xubai stood in the dim light and laughed. When did he start to be so serious?
…
Three days later.
Furong Beauty Salon has opened on the bustling streets of the imperial capital!
Traffic was jammed all around, luxury cars were everywhere, and the parking lots within three kilometers were full. Everyone, whether close or stranger, came to show their support for the eldest daughter of the Huo family and Mrs. Huo.
The Huo family's status in the imperial capital is no longer what it used to be. Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi have been present in several major events.
There is no need for an invitation to open a beauty salon, and everyone who comes is a guest.
It’s the best opportunity to establish a relationship!
Furong Beauty Salon is decorated in a very European style. Although it looks like a small ivory-white Western-style building, the first floor is very large. The small Western-style building is surrounded by gardens and the main entrance is wide open!
The red carpets on both sides stretched for hundreds of meters, with flower baskets and signatures sent by various families placed on the sides.
Put it on both sides, it looks very elegant and the person giving it will also feel proud!
"Mr. Wang sent a pair of flower baskets!"
"Mr. Xie sent a pair of flower baskets!"
The receptionist read out the gift list with a clear voice and a proper smile. There was a constant stream of customers coming in and out. It wasn't uncommon to see beauty salons opening these days; what was new was the rumored Jade Skin Cream.
I heard that the unpopular young lady of the Ye family comes here every day and spreads the word that the old scars on her body have faded a lot.
The Yingyue Pavilion opposite was deserted, with Lu Yingxue and the female manager standing at the door.
The manager observed her expression and said in a flattering tone.
"It's such a grand event, but we're not afraid of it not ending well. Miss Lu, I've made all the arrangements. This imperial capital is our territory after all, so just wait and see. We at Yingyue Pavilion are not easy to snatch away as guests!"
Lu Yingxue, wearing a mask that covered most of her face, said, "Okay, then I'll stay and see what you have arranged."
