Chapter 424: Don’t trust a man’s words

"You're leaving now? Didn't you want to stay at all costs? You also agreed to invest in the Future City project, which is an investment of several billion! Are you not going to participate in the selection of design drafts in the future?"

Wan Jiang felt the pain and beat his chest and stamped his feet.

Zhong Yi said calmly, "Just give the money to Huo Xingzhou. Tianyuan Group will not let this project suffer any losses. He may be cunning, but he is very good at business. There is no loss-making project under his control."

He still holds a grudge.

To say Huo Xingzhou was treacherous was simply because they hated him for making him hide in the trunk.

"That's all we can do. Don't let your wounds get any more serious. I'll go through the discharge procedures and arrange a private jet. We'll be back in the capital today. I'll use some self-torture to get the old lady to treat you better."

"Wanjiang."

Zhong Yi suddenly shouted.

"Why?"

"Now that you know my past identity, you won't tell Zhong Lingxiao and let him control me, right?"

Wan Jiang's heart skipped a beat. His knees went weak and he knelt down and swore to the heavens, "Master Zhong, I am loyal to you. Even if the Master holds a knife to my neck, I will not say a single word."

"Okay, I'll remember that."

Zhong Yi didn't dare to trust anyone easily, and the look he cast on Wan Jiang was somewhat dangerous. He said this himself, so don't blame him for being ruthless in the future.

After all, he has come this far, and there can't be any mistakes.

No harm that threatens Qiao Xi is allowed.

He would rather give up their childhood friendship and the opportunity to be in front of her, in exchange for her current safety. How could he allow someone to hurt her!

Others may never understand how heavy the things he gave up were.

Qiao Xi is his pillar!

It was the hope that kept him going when he first entered the Zhong family and was nearly killed by Zhong Lingxiao's schemes several times.

"Go ahead, Wanjiang. I need to go back to the capital right away."

"yes."

Wan Jiang did not dare to delay at all and hurried out to get it done.

…

The outdoor rest area on the first floor of Haicheng Hospital.

Qiao Xi sat on a bench, enjoying the breeze. The warm sunlight fell on her body, but her heart was cold.

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Her emotions were like a roller coaster, up and down, and she was exhausted.

A cup of Gesha coffee was suddenly placed next to her.

Shu Xue sat beside her and said, "It's made with milk and double the amount of sugar, so it's not bitter. You should like it. Our Doctor Qiao is sitting here with a heavy heart. What is he thinking about? Is there any difficult disease that you can't cure?"

Qiao Xi took a sip of coffee and said, "I'm just reflecting on myself. I shouldn't waste too much energy on certain things. After all, I'm going to the capital to participate in the competition soon. But my intuition tells me that what I see may not be true."

Shu Xue said while holding a cup of coffee: "Seeing is believing, hearing is not. I have seen it all, so it is basically true."

Her eyes were filled with a hint of sadness. "Qiao Xi, I want to ask you to do me a favor."

Qiao Xi turned around and saw that she looked very unhappy and asked, "What can I do for you?"

"I heard that Tianyuan Group will hold a designer salon this Saturday at the Manyue Hotel. I want an invitation..."

Qiao Xi calmed down and asked, "What are you doing there?"

Shu Xue smiled unnaturally: "I want to see the world. I heard that this salon is hosted by Zhou Yu. I really want to see what he looks like at work, and I also want to see the celebrities in the architectural design circle."

She didn't like going to that kind of place before, saying that she was afraid of being corrupted by the prosperity of capital.

Qiao Xi considered that Shu Xue had rarely been to such an occasion and said, "Then I'll go with you. I'll ask Lao Jin or Zhou Yu for an invitation."

"Don't ask Zhou Yu for it. I want to give him a surprise."

"Then I'll ask Xingzhou."

Qiao Xi didn't say much, she always felt that there might be something wrong between Shu Xue and Zhou Yu. Yesterday she was drunk and kept scolding Zhou Yu for being a scumbag.

Shu Xue held her arm and said, "Sisters are still the best."

Qiao Xi curled her lips. She calculated that it would be less than half a month before the next round of the needle testing conference in the imperial capital.

"Okay, I have to go back and help Doctor Yan. You should get more rest. It's very hard for nurses to work the night shift. Look at the red bloodshot in your eyes. You can tell you didn't sleep well."

Qiao Xi stood up, patted her on the shoulder, and walked into the hospital corridor.

As she walked around the corridor on the first floor of the hospital, she did not notice a luxury car with its double flashes on at the door.

The windows were down.

The man's handsome features were fully exposed.

Lao Chen stood respectfully beside the car and talked to him.

Huo Xingzhou lazily leaned back in his chair, his eyes retracted from the distance. He opened his thin lips and asked softly, "Did she really go to the ward she liked?"

Old Chen nodded. "I saw that the young lady looked unhappy this morning, so I followed her to take a look. She rushed into the ward, and Young Master Sun checked the track of our Lincoln for her. The young lady should have known that it was Young Master Zhong who was in our trunk."

Huo Xingzhou smiled instead of getting angry: "She has finally grown up. This way she won't be easily bullied when she goes to the imperial capital."

Old Chen smiled and said, "From the look of the young lady, it seems that Master Zhong has fooled her into letting her off the hook, and she hasn't discovered anything. But why didn't she come to you to ask for clarification first?"

Huo Xingzhou said in a low voice, "Because I deceived her first and conspired with Zhong Yi to leave Moon Village, but she was kept in the dark. She felt that she might not get the truth by asking me. Another thing is that she rarely tells others things that she is not sure of."

It's my personality, sometimes I feel angry, sometimes I feel distressed.

Huo Xingzhou tapped his fingers lightly on the edge of the car window and instructed, "If she doesn't mention going to Zhongyi's ward today, then just pretend it never happened and don't let on."

Lao Chen said "yes".

But I couldn't help but secretly complain.

The young master had been smelling vinegar all the way here, and when he arrived at the hospital door he said, "Just pretend nothing happened."

How can you say it never happened?

In terms of cunning, the young lady is still no match for the young master. But sometimes couples do have some inexplicable tacit understanding.

"You stay in the hospital, I'm going back to the company first."

Huo Xingzhou put his hands on the steering wheel and turned on the turn signal. He drove here by himself and took a long detour to come to the hospital for a checkup.

"Young Master, be careful on the road."

"Mr. Chen, I'm busy these past two days. There's a designer salon on Saturday, so you can ask her if she wants to go."

"Why."

Old Chen responded.

Why did I ask him about it, and he just said, "Just pretend nothing happened."

You can't trust a man easily.

…

Saturday.

Huo Xingzhou got up early and worked late for two days in the company, and Zhou Yu also hosted a designer salon and invited important people in the design industry. As the boss of Tianyuan Group, Huo Xingzhou had to show his attention.

This call for papers is very grand.

Qiao Xi got two invitations to the design salon from Lao Chen. Shu Xue wanted to keep a low profile and not let Zhou Yu know.

Therefore, she and Shu Xue both entered as media guests.

This kind of salon is different from ordinary social cocktail parties. The atmosphere is slightly more academic and professional, but eating and drinking are also inevitable.

After she and Shu Xue entered, they wore their media work badges and sat on the sofa in the corner drinking coffee, watching the people in the hall busy preparing for the designer salon.

On each table was a brochure introducing the designers present and their architectural works.

Qiao Xi looked around boredly as guests came in one after another.

But she didn't see Huo Xingzhou and Zhou Yu, maybe they would arrive later.

She turned around and saw Shu Xue flipping through the flower album introduced by the designer. The album was very beautifully made and came with the designer's official photo.

They all wore suits and ties, looking smart and capable. The few female designers were all particularly outstanding.

Qiao Xi asked, "Why are you looking so intently? Who are you looking at?"
