Chapter 358: Master Zhong Turns the Tables

"Mingzhu, Mingzhu! I didn't even make it to the primary election, and someone is plotting against me behind my back. You have to help me! I won't be able to explain myself when I go home!"

Li Songwen obviously regarded Xiang Mingzhu as his life-saving straw.

He also loves Xiang Mingzhu!

If it weren't for Xiang Mingzhu's hint, he wouldn't have dealt with Qiao Xi.

It must have been Qiao Xi and his gang who beat him.

Xiang Mingzhu couldn't get out of his embrace, so she said, "Li Songwen, let's go in and talk!"

It would be bad if someone saw them pulling each other in the hotel corridor.

Li Songwen immediately agreed.

He followed Mingzhu into the room, watched her close the door and said, "Mingzhu, what should I do? I was ninth in the needle testing competition ten years ago, and my family hoped that I could make it into the top three this time. But I didn't even make it to the finals..."

He drank to drown his sorrows all night and was even put in a sack and beaten!

Unlucky!

Xiang Mingzhu looked down on him in her heart and said coldly, "What can I do? I also lost to Qiao Xi and was scolded by my uncle and cousin. Do you know how much hatred I have in my heart for admitting in front of so many people that the Thirteen Ghost Needles are not as good as the Nine Plum Blossom Needles?"

She was in a state of depression.

Li Song asked, "I never thought you were so stupid that you couldn't even make it to the finals."

Li Songwen felt humiliated by what she said, "Mingzhu, I lost the game because of you. You have to do me some good, right?"

He was drunk and as he spoke he reached out to Mingzhu, wanting to hug her and kiss her.

Xiang Mingzhu pushed him away and said, "Li Songwen! Be careful, I am Xiang's family. I never promised you anything before the game. If you continue to make trouble, I will call security."

Li Songwen said with red eyes: "Xiang Mingzhu, you are so cruel! You just rely on the fact that I like you to trample on me so recklessly!"

Xiang Mingzhu covered her nightgown with her hands and said, "I can show you a clear path. The preliminary selection will only select the top 100 according to the points. I remember that you are exactly 101st. As long as the person in front of you has an accident, according to the rules, you can be a substitute in the finals. It depends on your own ability, do you understand?"

Li Songwen's eyes lit up.

He still has a chance!

"I see. Thank you, Mingzhu."

Xiang Mingzhu said with some disdain: "You should leave quickly, and don't let anyone know that we are in contact."

She was going to marry Zhong Yi and become the young lady of the Zhong family in the future, so Li Songwen’s question was nothing.

Li Songwen staggered away.

He went back with a pig-like face, feeling very satisfied.

He has remembered today's grudge and will not let Qiao Xi go in the final!

…

Early morning.

The night was getting very deep.

Wan Jiang returned to the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel, covered in dew. With a gossipy smile on his face, he walked up to the young man who was dozing on the sofa and said, "Mr. Zhong, what a surprise!"

Young Master Zhong opened his sleepy eyes and said lazily, "What surprise?"

Wan Jiang handed him a dozen photos respectfully and said, "The people we sent beat Li Songwen, but Li Songwen actually went to find Xiang Mingzhu, and they took photos of him."

Zhong Yi's slender white fingers flipped through the photos, one after another.

It was Xiang Mingzhu and Li Songwen hugging each other at the door of the hotel room, and one of them almost kissed. Li Songwen almost ripped Xiang Mingzhu's nightgown off.

Because of the angle, it looks very ambiguous.

No one would believe if they said they had nothing to do with it.

"Mr. Zhong, do you think this is an unexpected surprise?" Wan Jiang guessed his thoughts and asked tentatively.

"Well, I'll give you a house in the inner ring later."

When I like generosity, it's simply unexpected.

Wan Jiang was ecstatic!

This was how he became rich overnight. He became a wealthy landlord with a house in the inner ring of the imperial capital.

Zhong Yi tapped the photo with her finger and said, "Apart from the photo, is there anything else?"

"have!"

Wan Jiang said anxiously: "We originally messed up the hotel's surveillance, but those people in charge were very reliable and recorded Xiang Mingzhu's room the entire time. Li Songwen stayed in her room for more than half an hour."

Zhong Yi's mouth curled up slightly, and her affectionate eyes were filled with a refreshing smile: "Wan Jiang, can you get it done in half an hour?"

Wan Jiang's face turned red when he was asked this question. He was over 30 years old and he knew what Master Zhong meant.

But he wondered if he was too dirty.

He could only smile dryly.

Zhong Yi smiled faintly: "Half an hour is about right."

Wan Jiang pretended to be confused: "Probably."

Zhong Yi said: "Keep the video, it will be useful to me."

"OK."

Wan Jiang now knows his style of doing things, and he thinks ten steps ahead before taking one step.

Zhong Shao was completely hypocritical towards Xiang Mingzhu. He gave Xiang Mingzhu the token of marriage to reassure her and let her follow his script. After the matter was accomplished, Zhong Shao would definitely kick Xiang Mingzhu away.

At that time, they will falsely accuse Xiang Mingzhu of stealing his jade pendant. Regardless of whether it is true or false, the Lu family will definitely give up Xiang Mingzhu as a chess piece in order to allow Lu Yingxue to marry smoothly into the Zhong family.

Now that we have videos and photos like this, Mr. Zhong can still turn the tables!

If Xiang Mingzhu is said to be having an ambiguous relationship with someone else, when the incident happens and they confront each other, Xiang Mingzhu will definitely be speechless!

Master!

Wan Jiang could feel his plotting and scheming the longer he stayed with him!

He really takes it step by step!

Without making a sound, he lured everyone into the trap, boiling them like frogs in warm water so that none of them could escape.

No wonder an illegitimate child could have a place in a mansion like the Zhong family!

So smart that he is almost a demon!

"Wan Jiang, what are you thinking about?"

"No. Master Zhong, I just silently praise your greatness in my heart!"

Zhong Yi smiled faintly.

…

the next day.

The sunlight is soft and bright, penetrating the clouds and pouring down to the world.

Aunt Qian and Lao Chen moved all of Qiao Xi's medical books to the rooftop terrace, ready to let them dry in the sun.

When Huo Xingzhou walked to the corridor in a suit and tie, he watched them moving piles of yellowed ancient books to the top floor.

"Good morning, Master."

Aunt Qian stopped and said, "Yesterday you asked us to sort out the young lady's medical books and move them to your study. But I saw that the weather was good today, so I decided to dry the books. The young lady's medical books are very old and a little damp, so they need to be dried well."

"Mrs. Qian is very thoughtful."

Huo Xingzhou nodded slightly.

"Master, breakfast is ready. I wanted to call you and the mistress after I finished my reading, but since you haven't gotten up yet, I won't bother you."

As she spoke, the heavy pile of books in Aunt Qian's hands fell down.

Those old medical books fell to the ground with a bang, and from among the open pages floated an old photo taken with a film camera, which had already faded and become old.

Aunt Qian didn't pay attention. She picked up the books on the floor and continued to move them to the terrace.

Huo Xingzhou bent down, twirled the photo with his fingers and picked it up.
