Chapter 311: Master Zhong also has obsessions

There was a pinhole on the white palm with blood oozing out, and an area the size of a coin around it was blue and black.

Her right hand was numb and her fingers couldn't help shaking.

He had just shaken hands with Mingzhu in a friendly manner, and hidden acupuncture needles soaked in the nerve-paralyzing Pinellia juice between his fingers.

These people are so cunning and hard to guard against.

However, this amount of toxin does not have much impact on the body.

She also fought back in time!

He changed his gesture and held Xiang Mingzhu's hand again, allowing the needle to penetrate into her flesh.

I guess Xiang Mingzhu must have been hurt more seriously than her!

Du Ya asked, "Qiao Xi, what are you looking at?"

Qiao Xi quickly curled up her fingers, clenched them into fists, shook her head and said, "Nothing."

Du Ya turned around to look at the open banquet hall and said, "Liu Huimin usually cares about her reputation and is very good at acting like a noble lady. But today she is really bold. Even I don't necessarily want to slap the Ye family in the face."

I wouldn't do anything like throwing cake at a kid's face.

"Qiao Xi, after all, mother and daughter are connected by heart. Although I don't want you to forgive her, don't be too hard on yourself. If you ever want to recognize her, none of us will blame you."

"Yes, I know."

Qiao Xi didn't comment, feeling a little depressed.

Du Ya let go of her arm and suddenly laughed out loud.

She pointed in a direction and said, "Look! My good son is afraid that I will sell you out! He ran here eagerly to pick you up. I have never been treated this way before."

Qiao Xi looked up and saw a man standing at the flower-filled archway of the garden villa.

He was wearing a suit and had long legs.

He looked at her with a faint tender smile in his eyes.

Du Ya joked, "You two should hurry home. I won't bother you with this light bulb anymore."

"Mom..." Qiao Xi felt a little embarrassed.

Du Ya smiled ambiguously and walked away in another path. She was an open-minded mother-in-law, and she was very happy that her son and daughter-in-law had a good relationship.

Qiao Xi watched her leave, then looked at the man not far away.

The depression in her heart dissipated, and she ran forward briskly and threw herself into his arms.

Her voice was soft and coquettish: "Why are you here? Didn't you say that the company was busy?"

She stood on tiptoe and hugged his neck in a very intimate posture.

The man's deep and gentle voice sounded: "I'm here to take you home."

"Well, go home!"

Qiao Xi nodded heavily.

She smiled brightly and got very close to him. Huo Xingzhou put his hands on her waist, and his peripheral vision swept over the handsome young man who was as tall as a bamboo on the second floor terrace of the villa. He raised a glass of champagne and gestured to him from a distance.

Huo Xingzhou's eyes darkened and his chin slightly nodded.

He recognized that it was the youngest son of the Zhong family in the imperial capital.

Huo Xingzhou walked out with Qiao Xi in his arms, and he put his big hand domineeringly around her waist and left.

The second floor terrace.

The nobleman holding the champagne had an old braided red rope tied around his wrist to cover the shallow scar. He put the glass aside and casually placed his hands on the railing.

A clear and distant voice sounded: "Wanjiang, Ye Zhimeng..."

"Master Zhong, I understand. I will arrange it."

Wan Jiang knew very well that he had a vengeful nature and did not dare to neglect him.

Mr. Zhong leaned lazily and casually, and smiled as he watched the perfect couple walking further and further away.

Wan Jiang said tentatively: "Master Zhong, Xiang Huai has already confessed his guilt. What method did you use to make his psychological defenses collapse?"

"Want to know?" He tilted his head, his tone lazy.

Wan Jiang nodded: "Yes, very much."

He said, "Wan Jiang, do you have any obsession?"

The light and shadow danced and sprinkled on him.

The picturesque and jade-like eyebrows and eyes are strange and indifferent.

Wan Jiang shook his head.

"You don't, but Xiang Huai does."

Zhong Shao leaned his upper body slightly, and the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers fell on his shoulders. "Xu Xingluo was everything to him. When the mask of innocence and kindness was torn off, he collapsed. The last straw that broke the camel's back was the truth ten years ago."

He told Xiang Huai that the person who called for help was not Xu Xingluo.

Xiang Huai repeatedly asked who it was, and he said a name that broke Xiang Huai's heart.

Xiang Huai didn't dare to believe him, but he also didn't dare not to believe him. In the end, he confessed everything with a dead heart.

Wan Jiang asked, "How did Master Zhong know what happened in Haicheng ten years ago? Have you ever lived in Haicheng before?"

The young man stretched out his fingers and flicked the fallen flowers on his shoulders, his eyes filled with mystery: "I don't know, I'm from the imperial capital."

Wan Jiang saw that he didn't want to talk about it, so he changed the subject: "You used another project to get the Xiang family to give up Xiang Huai and not go to the police station to rescue him. Isn't this not worth it? You got it with so much trouble."

"I'm happy, what do you think?"

Wan Jiang said quickly: "How dare I?"

The young man took off his suit jacket and threw it into Wanjiang's arms, untied his tie and walked towards the stairs of the villa, "Wanjiang, the osmanthus flowers bloomed a little early this year, and they don't smell good. Wash my clothes for me..."

"Why."

Wan Jiang held his coat and thought that Master Zhong didn't need to wash clothes, this was just a deliberate embarrassment for him.

However, looking at the fallen osmanthus flowers all over the ground, he somehow remembered a poem.

I want to buy some osmanthus flowers and carry them with wine, but it doesn’t feel like the days when I was young.

No one can go back to their youth.

Could it be that Master Zhong had a secret crush on someone during his youth that he couldn't get the love he wanted, and that's why he dislikes Osmanthus so much?

That's not right!

Why did Young Master Zhong come to the auction today? Wasn't he here to bid for the medical books and bronze figures?

…

Banquet hall on the first floor.

Liu Huimin was a little lost, she came and went in a hurry with her bag. Others wanted to talk to her, but they didn't have the chance.

She walked out of the banquet hall and took a detour to a secluded area of ​​the garden villa, then took out her cell phone and made a call.

It took a long time for the other party to pick up the phone.

"Ma Hongwen, I want you to withdraw Qiao Xi's application. She will not participate in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Festival." Liu Huimin said anxiously and in a commanding tone.

If Mingzhu hadn't mentioned it today, she would have almost forgotten about it.

Qiao Xi was forced by her to see Liu Zongyun, and she secretly plotted against her in collusion with Ma Hongwen to submit the registration information.

Liu Huimin regretted it very much!

She couldn't imagine how Qiao Xi would feel if she knew about this.

Ma Hongwen was embarrassed: "This won't work, the list has been made public."

Liu Huimin took a deep breath and said, "I can give you money, any amount is fine! She didn't apply in person, so this doesn't count, right?"

"Her situation is very special. As Cheng Han's apprentice, she violated the agreement made that year. Registration is just a formality. The Lu family in the imperial capital will not let her go no matter what. I can't revoke it, so please don't make it difficult for me. Besides, didn't you force her to cure Liu Zongyun in the first place?

Madam Xu, as a member of the Liu family, you should be very clear about the north-south division of traditional Chinese medicine. What will happen to those who violate the rules?"

right!

She knows!

It's because I know it so clearly that I regret it so much.

"Ma Hongwen, she can't go, she is too young! If she loses, the consequences will be disastrous. She will lose everything, either injured or disabled!" There are so many masters in the needle testing conference, including Lu Yingxue who became famous ten years ago.

If Lu Bannong were to participate without caring about his reputation, Qiao Xi would be left with nowhere to go.

"It's too late to undo what has been done! Madam Xu, please seek help from someone else."

Ma Hongwen was very rude and hung up the phone directly.

Liu Huimin's hands and feet were numb and she stood there.

What should she do?

Suddenly, someone grabbed her hair and slapped her hard in the face.

There was a loud snap.

Liu Huimin was stunned.
