Chapter 348 Huo Xingzhou is jealous again

Qiao Xi smelled the sour smell in the air and asked with a suppressed smile, "Is there?"

What she cared about was not Mr. Zhong, but the face that looked like Ayi.

"have."

Qiao Xi came up to him and said, "Even his hair smells sour."

"You kept calling that name in your dream last night." Huo Xingzhou's eyebrows were indifferent, and his tone was slightly reproachful.

He is very domineering.

She was only allowed to think about him.

The more he got into her heart, the more he could feel that there was a large area in her heart that belonged to that person. No matter what kind of emotion it was, Huo Xingzhou cared about it.

"sorry."

Qiao Xi wrapped her arms around his muscular waist, stood on tiptoe and covered his thin lips with her red lips.

Her initiative greatly dissipated his resentment.

Huo Xingzhou's jade-colored face showed a hint of smile, and he lightly touched her red lips with his fingertips: "This is sweet."

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the office door.

Huo Xingzhou frowned, and Qiao Xi broke away from his embrace and said, "I'll go open the door."

When Qiao Xi opened the door, she saw Zhou Yu standing outside with a flattering look on his face.

"Mr. Zhou, please come in."

Zhou Yu walked into the office empty-handed, and didn't look like he was here to discuss business.

Zhou Yu came over to talk about Master Zhong and did not avoid Qiao Xi.

"Huo Er, I found out that Master Zhong is indeed engaged to Lu Yingxue, and the two families exchanged tokens. But he seems to be having an ambiguous relationship with Xiang Mingzhu, playing both sides between the two sisters, and I can't tell what his purpose is."

"But Zhong Yi is a strange person who doesn't follow the rules. He must have a purpose for staying in Haicheng. Maybe it's to support Xiang Mingzhu and manipulate the primary election of the Needle Test Conference."

Zhou Yu's face didn't look good.

Qiao Xi's nails dug deeply into the palms of her hands.

Huo Xingzhou's expression did not change at all: "Find someone to keep an eye on him, but don't stare too closely."

"I know. I feel something is wrong with the Future City project. We have previously assessed that the commercial value of the place is not great. Can we really revive it by moving the cultural relics underground and protecting them with fiberglass?"

Huo Xingzhou said in a low voice: "There has been such a precedent, and it is quite feasible."

So Mr. Zhong was not joking.

However, Huo Xingzhou felt that his original intention was not the Future City project, but to find a reasonable reason to stay in Haicheng so as not to arouse suspicion.

Don't let him doubt, and don't let the people in the imperial capital doubt.

Zhou Yu obviously understood what he meant and said, "He's really a jerk! He's quite smart."

"How did he go from being an illegitimate child to where he is today without any brains? The imperial capital family gala at the end of the year seems to have announced his status as heir." But the other son of the Zhong family is no pushover either.

Qiao Xi listened to their conversation and suddenly asked, "He is an illegitimate child. Didn't he live in the Zhong family before?"

Zhou Yu casually said: "I heard that they were brought back a few years ago, mainly because of the eldest son of the Zhong family..." He smiled a little ambiguously, and Qiao Xi didn't understand what he meant for a moment.

Instead, Huo Xingzhou gave him a cold look.

Zhou Yu quickly shut up.

Qiao Xi guessed: "Is he not good at that?"

"Yes." Zhou Yu said softly, "They have been married for many years but still can't have children. He is more than ten years older than the illegitimate child, so he already married. Later, the Zhong family had no choice but to take the illegitimate child back. Originally, they wanted the illegitimate child to get married early and have a child to be adopted by the eldest son, but they didn't expect..."

The illegitimate child who came over was very capable and behaved in a noble manner.

He was able to replace the eldest brother's position, and he doesn't look like a child who was raised outside since childhood.

Qiao Xi grasped a key point and asked, "When did he return to the Zhong family?"

“It could be four or five years, it could be seven or eight years, we’re not sure.”

The Zhong family would definitely not make a big announcement about bringing their illegitimate son home. This Young Master Zhong has only become famous in the last two years, and there must have been fierce family struggles before that.

All his past experiences have been erased by the Zhong family, so it is very difficult to find out detailed information.

Qiao Xi frowned slightly, not even sure of the year.

"Sister-in-law, are you also interested in Master Zhong?"

"I'm just curious and asking casually." Qiao Xi explained, "Because he is good friends with Xiang Mingzhu, I want to be more cautious."

The other side is both an enemy and a friend.

Zhou Yu looked at her and said hesitantly, "There is one more thing. Your sister, Nurse Shu, has been dating recently. Old Jin recommended several young talents to her. She seems to be very interested in Qin Yuan. Sister-in-law, please remind her that Qin Yuan is interested in her connections with Tianyuan Group, not her as a person."

Zhou Yu didn't believe that any man would be willing to cuckold him.

He checked privately and found out that Qin Yuan's company had a project cooperation with Tianyuan Group. He wanted to use the relationship between Shu Xue and Qiao Xi to promote this cooperation. If it succeeds, Qin Yuan can get a commission of one million.

You can also be promoted to a high level!

A big profit!

Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou looked at each other, and she said with a smile in her eyes: "Why didn't you tell her yourself? Don't you even have contact information after knowing each other for so long?"

Zhou Yu hesitated for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind: "We have a bad relationship, and we almost had a fight last time. I persuaded her, and she must have a rebellious mentality."

Qiao Xi nodded, her pretty face full of smiles: "Okay, I will definitely tell her."

She recalled Qin Yuan and found that he was polite and not as profit-seeking as Zhou Yu said.

Maybe Young Master Zhou was just making this up out of jealousy.

She would ask Shu Xue what was going on later.

Zhou Yu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard her promise.

Shu Xue now trusts no one but Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi looked at his handsome face and brought up the old topic again: "Mr. Zhou, Aunt Qian told me that you are a non-marriageist. Why don't you get married?"

Can't I make concessions for Shu Xue?

Zhou Yu's eyes were somewhat evasive, and he whispered, "Everyone has their own choices. Not everyone is suitable for marriage. I can't take responsibility."

He said this and left.

Qiao Xi looked at Huo Xingzhou with a smile on her face and said, "I think Young Master Zhou seems to be a little shaken. He still thinks he has kept his affair with Shu Xue a secret."

Huo Xingzhou stretched out his finger and tapped the tip of her nose: "You are so cunning that you even know how to tease others."

"No."

Qiao Xi's tone was a little coquettish.

…

the other side.

The number of views on the forum within traditional Chinese medicine has skyrocketed by hundreds of thousands, probably because some laymen have flooded in through special channels.

The order of the primary draw has been announced, causing an uproar.

The list of the last group, the group of death, is shocking.

The strongest opponents are almost all in the same group, and Qiao Xi's chances of qualifying are even slimmer. Whether it is Xiang Mingzhu, Li Songwen, or Han Jia, they are all strong opponents.

Many people thought that Qiao Xi was doomed this time.

Unless she is a gifted freak.

Imperial capital, Lu family.

Lu Yingxue looked through the preliminary lottery list, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, which made her beautiful and elegant face look even more beautiful.

She has been immersed in traditional Chinese medicine for more than 20 years. She has a faint scent of medicine on her body, as well as a floating fairy-like aura. People in the imperial capital call her the living female Hua Tuo.

Her assistant whispered, "Miss, why are you laughing?"

Lu Yingxue's tone was sad and condescending: "I laugh at people who overestimate their own abilities."

The assistant also laughed: "How can they compare to you? This disciple of National Doctor Cheng Han must be just a name for nothing."

Lu Yingxue's eyes gleamed with a faint light: "Then I am looking forward to her losing the bet. My father also wants to hear that Cheng's acupuncture is not as good as Lu's Thirteen Ghost Needles."

The assistant said proudly: "Then she is doomed to fail!"
