Chapter 421 The one hiding in the trunk is Master Zhong
The person hiding in the trunk of the Lincoln is not Lao Chen’s friend.
But it’s Mr. Zhong.
The fog is thick.
When and where did Mr. Zhong get on the bus?
Qiao Xi recalled that Lao Chen had stopped at many service areas along the way and had also gotten off the car to rest. Which service area did he get on the car from? Or had he been hiding in the trunk since the beginning in Moon Village?
Why was Master Zhong injured? He was clearly in the center of Haicheng, so why was he outside the city?
Why did Huo Xingzhou save him?
She tapped her head and felt that she was about to see the truth.
But she was enveloped by the miasma and she couldn't think of the key point no matter how hard she tried.
"Little fairy? Miracle doctor?" Sun Wei shouted several times, "Can you hear me bragging?"
Sun Weimeng boasted for a long time on the other end of the phone, but got no response.
Qiao Xi came to her senses and said, "I heard you. Thank you, Young Master Sun. You have helped me so much. I will treat you to a meal next time."
"You're welcome, you helped me even more. I heard that the competition will be held soon, come on! I will also go to the imperial capital and cheer for you there!"
"Thank you, but that's too much trouble. It's too late today. I'll hang up now."
Qiao Xi said something to Sun Shao and then hung up the phone.
It is hard to imagine how socially devastating it would be if Sun Shao ran to the capital holding banners and waving flags and shouting.
She wasn't even sure she could win the game!
This kindness is really hard to accept.
The call was hung up, and the noisy voice of Sun Weimeng was no longer in my ears.
The room fell silent.
She also tried hard to pull out the silk and peel off the cocoon, wanting to see clearly what kind of medicine Huo Xingzhou and Zhong Yi were selling. He and Lao Chen sang the same tune and worked together to hide her situation.
Huo Xingzhou didn't want her to know anything.
If she asked him again, she would probably just get another excuse.
What on earth happened that made him so fearful?
Qiao Xi closed her eyes and recalled every detail from driving to Moon Village.
That’s right!
Aunt Chunhua seemed to have mentioned that a young man came to the village and went to the mountains. Later, she was called by Lao Chen to sort out the gifts and she didn't listen to any more.
Also, that night Huo Xingzhou and Lao Chen both said that they were not used to living there. She thought they couldn't sleep because of the new environment, but now she thinks there is another hidden reason.
Could it be that they had already connected with Zhong Yi at that time?
So you like the car you took at Moon Village?
Qiao Xi was shocked. The idea that she had suppressed for a long time came to her mind again after she denied it again and again.
Call Aunt Chunhua first!
Ask for details to make sure whether the young person who arrives at Moon Village likes it!
Qiao Xi impulsively flipped through her address book and saw the time displayed on her phone.
One thirty in the morning.
It was like a bucket of cold water was poured over my head, and Aunt Dian Chunhua had fallen asleep.
She waited a little longer!
At least until daybreak.
Qiao Xi was lying on the big bed, feeling upset for the first time. She tried to send a message to Shu Xue, the night owl, to say something to divert her attention, but this time Shu Xue did not reply.
Sleepless night.
…
On the other side of the bustling city.
Shu Xue is taking a bath.
She drank so much that she fell asleep for several hours. When she woke up because she had to pee, it was already late at night. She was taken to Zhou Yu's house, but there was no sound from him in the master bedroom.
Probably because she smelled too much of alcohol, he went to sleep in the second bedroom.
Shu Xue couldn't tolerate the sour smell on her body, so she got up and went into the bathroom to take a hot shower.
As the showerhead sprayed hot water on her, many thoughts flashed through her mind.
After taking a shower, walk out of the room.
Then I saw Zhou Yu sitting on the sofa in the master bedroom. The lights in the room were not on. It was pitch black, and only the light coming in from outside outlined his outline.
Zhou Yu looked up at her when he heard the noise. "I was afraid you were hungry, so I prepared some midnight snacks. The housekeeper is not here tonight, so can I have some frozen dumplings?"
On the coffee table in front of the sofa there was a bowl of steaming dumplings, small enough to eat one in one bite.
"Can."
Shu Xue walked over to him and sat down, eating the dumplings obediently. She was wondering how many women had experienced Zhou Yu's care in the middle of the night.
He may look unruly, but he must have a soft side inside.
Unfortunately, that piece of soft pure land didn't seem to belong to her. She shouldn't have discovered those things in the storage room, let alone delve into the name he searched on his phone.
"Shu Xue."
Zhou Yu said with a somewhat apologetic tone, "Tianyuan Group will hold a designer salon at the Grand Hotel on Saturday. The Future City project has been handed over to me. The designers attending are all well-known at home and abroad. I may..."
Designer salons are communication parties for the design industry, where you can have a long conversation with like-minded people. It is more casual than a formal meeting. You can enjoy wine and pastries while talking freely.
Shu Xue said while eating dumplings: "What a coincidence! I just wanted to tell you that my parents have something to do this weekend and I can't go. Let's make an appointment next time. We were a bit hasty in getting the marriage certificate before, and you haven't even proposed to me yet."
She looked at him with a smile.
Zhou Yu laughed and looked like he was relieved.
Shu Xue lowered her head. Zhou Yu's reaction was within her expectations. For Zhou Yu, except for that person, everyone else was just a compromise.
Even Shu Xue had guessed the reason why he didn't get married.
"Next week, I'll invite your parents to have dinner at Fuchun Garden. Then we can talk about our marriage..."
"You can come whenever you are free. I'm full and want to walk around the neighborhood to help digest the food. You can go to sleep first."
Shu Xue is no longer so eager to get married.
"Zhou Yu, I want to move back home to be with my parents. I don't want to live in that small apartment anymore. They are getting older..."
Zhou Yu responded: "Okay."
…
the next day.
It was daybreak.
Qiao Xi, who hadn't slept all night, got up, took out her cell phone and called Aunt Chunhua in the countryside. The call didn't go through for a long time, so she couldn't help but feel a little impatient.
Qiao Xi went to the bathroom to wash up and sobered up with cold water.
She looked at the particularly obvious dark circles under her fair skin and decided to cover them up with a thin layer of foundation. After she left the room, she called Aunt Chunhua again.
Still no connection.
Country people are busy in the morning and may not bring their cell phones with them.
Qiao Xi took a deep breath and walked downstairs.
Aunt Qian yawned and walked out of the room. Seeing that the clock on the wall showed only six o'clock, Qiao Xi packed up and went downstairs.
"Madam, you got up so early? I haven't made breakfast yet." Aunt Qian observed her expression and said, "Madam, how about I make you a bowl of wontons? It will be quick."
Qiao Xi forced a smile and said, "Okay, thank you, Aunt Qian."
She glanced at her cell phone screen from time to time, but there was still no call.
Aunt Qian served the fresh and fragrant wontons, sprinkled with chopped green onions and seaweed. The celadon bowl was particularly appetizing.
"Thank you, Aunt Qian."
Qiao Xi thanked him and stared at the data on the screen while scooping up a plump little wonton with a white porcelain spoon.
"hiss!"
The tip of my tongue was burned hard, and it felt numb and painful.
"Young Madam, drink some cool water quickly. Why are you so absent-minded today? I..."
Buzz buzz buzz.
Qiao Xi's cell phone vibrated. It was Aunt Chunhua calling.
