Chapter 354 Qiao Xi shows her brilliance for the first time!

Qiao Xi's eyes flickered and she frowned slightly.

What did Mr. Zhong's assistant say to Xiang Mingzhu that made her agree to fulfill her promise?

Was it a promise?

Qiao Xi looked at Xiang Mingzhu standing on the platform. She looked righteous and aloof, but the details revealed her inner shame.

"Guys, I will not flee from this battle."

Xiang Mingzhu said loudly, "Since I lost, I promise."

Her heart was filled with endless humiliation and hatred. It was all Qiao Xi's fault for putting her in this situation!

Her nails dug deep into the flesh of her palms.

Once she said that, she would be punished by the Lu family in the imperial capital. Even though Lu Bannong was her uncle, she still couldn't escape.

Those who are close to him understand that Lu Bannong hates it most when people say he is not as good as Cheng Han.

Xiang Mingzhu's teeth gently bit the tip of her tongue, and her mouth was already filled with the strong smell of rust and blood.

Her gaze slowly fell on the handsome young man sitting in the corner of the audience. His gentle and handsome face was looking at her with a smile of infinite tolerance.

Xiang Mingzhu suddenly felt confident.

"I admit to Mingzhu that the Lu family's Thirteen Ghost Needles are not as good as the Cheng family's Nine Plum Blossom Needles!"

These few dozen words in one sentence seemed to have taken up all her life's energy.

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt weak all over and her ears were buzzing.

A wave of fear rose in Xiang Mingzhu's heart. Her voice trembled a little, and she quickly tried to make amends: "But today it was me, Xiang Mingzhu, who lost to Qiao Xi. This was just a bet. It was because I was not as skilled as her! It was not my master Lu Bangnong who lost to Cheng Han! I hope you will not be confused!"

She has to protect Lu Bannong's reputation even at this time.

Qiao Xi watched her jumping around like a little clown, and felt sorry that Master Zhong would fall for such a shallow and arrogant woman.

Maybe they are just the same kind of people.

Xiang Mingzhu tried to make amends again, but her words still caused a huge uproar.

She personally admitted that the Thirteen Ghost Needles were not as good as the Nine Plum Blossom Needles!

The whole place was noisy and bustling.

Those who expected her to be able to hold their heads high and give the "arrogant" Qiao Xi a slap in the face were very dissatisfied.

Qiao Xi looked at the big screen in the air and saw that she was ranked first on the points list.

This is just the beginning!

Haicheng is the Huo family's territory, but they almost let the other party take advantage of it.

If we go to the imperial capital, it will be even more difficult.

They will stop at nothing to eradicate her, the only successor of the Plum Blossom Nine Needles!

She slowly retracted her gaze, walked to Shen Xuanzhi's side and said softly: "Thank you for helping me just now."

Without his help, she would never have gotten such a ranking.

Shen Xuanzhi was a cold person, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes and brows due to long-term illness, but he looked very attractive.

Without a trace of emotion, he said, "I am just taking money from people and helping them eliminate disasters."

"What?"

"Goodbye."

Shen Xuanzhi didn't explain much, just turned around and left.

Before he left, he glanced at the front row and corner seats in the Chinese Medicine Center's audience seats.

He received two sums of money and the matters were settled, so neither party owed anyone anything.

Qiao Xi looked at his back and thought to herself that he was really a good person with a quirky personality.

She pursed her lips, and suddenly a figure appeared beside her.

Han Jia stammered and blushed as he said, "I'm sorry!"

He is the one who looks down on others!

I thought Qiao Xi was just gaining fame in vain!

After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry!

Qiao Xi ignored it. She was just a fence-sitter with an unsteady stance.

He listened to the rumors and attacked her, slandering her.

Now that I realize I have done something wrong, I should say sorry!

…

The primary election of the test meeting ended and the audience left one after another.

Outside the Chinese Medicine Clinic.

Qiao Xi was surrounded by Huo Sijiao, Sun Weimeng and others, and she flattered them vigorously.

"Sister-in-law is amazing! You didn't even see how shocked those people were! They were so confident that Xiang Mingzhu would win!"

Young Master Sun said loudly, "You don't know that there is a betting table outside, betting on who will win between you and Xiang Mingzhu. Your odds are very high, so I invested 10 million directly. All the money earned will be donated to the Xingyue Foundation!"

Sun Shao’s vision has expanded!

Shu Xue said sarcastically, "I think Xiang Mingzhu is also a scheming bitch. She was the one who provoked the bet first, and she wanted to make you look arrogant and conceited. I must expose her true face in the internal forum tonight, so that she will know what it means to shoot herself in the foot!"

"I'll help too!"

"And me!"

Qiao Xi took Huo Xingzhou's arm and thanked them one by one for their kindness.

"Xingzhou and I will treat you to a meal some other day."

"Sister-in-law, don't postpone it. Let's do it on your birthday! Then we will all celebrate it well. It's a double blessing! If..." Huo Sijiao stared at her belly, "If I have a little niece, it will be a triple blessing!"

Qiao Xi blushed at her teasing.

Where did this little niece come from? Her period just ended.

Huo Xingzhou gave Huo Sijiao a warning look, and she stuck out her tongue and immediately shut up. She still had to rely on her brother for pocket money, and she couldn't afford to offend this big devil.

Du Ya said quickly, "Your sister-in-law is tired today, so let's go home first. Stop making a fuss, let's go home and let my daughter-in-law have a good rest. I will definitely invite you to the birthday party later."

She is the elder, so we can just go our separate ways.

Sun Weimeng, Shu Xue and others all left together, and even Zhou Yu followed.

Only the Huo family was left.

Du Ya looked at Qiao Xi and said, "Don't tire yourself out. We will all be worried."

Qiao Xi nodded: "I understand, Mom."

"Then we'll leave first."

When Du Ya was about to leave, he saw the Liu family swarming over him out of the corner of his eye.

Liu Huimin walked in front, looking at Qiao Xi with tears in her eyes. Du Ya's face turned cold instantly, she was really haunted.

Qiao Xi followed her line of sight.

The smile on her face gradually faded.

“Xixi.”

Liu Huimin approached her and shouted.

Qiao Xi's attitude was very distant. "You should call me by my full name. I'm not used to such intimacy."

Liu Huimin felt guilty and proud: "You performed very well today. Your grandmother and Mr. Cheng have brought you up very well. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to raise such a good daughter. Your hand... does it still hurt?"

She saw Li Songwen stepping on her foot in the Chinese medicine clinic.

Qiao Xi shrank her hand and said calmly, "It doesn't hurt."

Actually it hurts.

But she couldn't cry and act coquettishly with Liu Huimin; they were destined not to be a normal mother and daughter.

"If you have nothing else to say, we'll leave first." Qiao Xi took Huo Xingzhou's hand and walked towards the Rolls-Royce. She didn't want to talk to Liu Huimin at all.

Liu Huimin couldn't help crying.

Du Ya still remembered what happened at the private auction last time, and complained, "Last time you said you would give you three days to resolve the issue of the needle testing conference, but I don't think you can resolve it even if I give you three years. Jiao Jiao, let's go home."

Liu Huimin was so ashamed of what she said. She wanted to win back Qiao Xi, but she pushed her further away again and again.

Old Madam Liu couldn't stand her pitiful look, and said with disgust: "You keep crying like this, it reminds me of Xu Xingluo. I think Qiao Xi hates it too, so wipe away your tears! These two days are the days when Xu Guangyao will be sentenced, and this matter should be put to rest."

After a while.

The crowd outside the Chinese Medicine Clinic dispersed, night fell, and lights came on on the street.

Qiao Xi was sitting in a Rolls-Royce, and Huo Xingzhou was treating the bruises on the back of her hand caused by Li Songwen stepping on her.

She looked out the car window absentmindedly, and a familiar man and woman appeared in her sight.

Qiao Xi looked over there intently!
