Chapter 481 Two-timing

the next day.

A faint scent of mugwort wafted through the Huo family's garden villa in the imperial capital.

Refreshing and invigorating.

The second bedroom has been converted into a clinic, with a therapy bed and a row of cabinets for medicinal materials.

The Lu family monopolized the Chinese medicinal materials and refused to allow Qiao Xi to buy them. All these medicinal materials were prepared and shipped by Huo Xingzhou in Haicheng, and there were many kinds of them. He also specially found a set of golden needles from the market and gave them to Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi couldn't let go of the golden needles.

Early in the morning, she took Huo Xingzhou to the clinic to give him acupuncture to regulate his body. After all, some people suffer from liver qi stagnation and deficiency of essence and blood.

Huo Xingzhou had taken off all his clothes, leaving only a plush blanket covering his lower body.

His upper body had beautiful muscular lines. He lay on the therapy bed with his hands casually resting on his head.

Those cold eyes were always looking at Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi took the newly bought golden needle for disinfection, twisted the end of the needle and inserted it into his acupuncture point. A small ball of moxibustion wool is rubbed at the end of the needle, which can warm and nourish the body after being lit.

Sun Weimeng brought a small round stool and a small fruit plate and sat aside to watch the excitement.

He clicked his tongue twice: "Such muscles... are really enviable. Huo Er, how come you can still exercise when you have so much work to do every day?"

Everyone has 24 hours a day, but some people can do more things.

Sun Weimeng looked down at his flat belly. There was no muscle!

He is a white chicken!

While inserting the needle, Qiao Xi smiled and said, "Young Master Sun can also go and practice some exercises."

Sun Weimeng was not careful and asked casually, "Is there a big difference between the experience of having muscles and not having muscles?"

Qiao Xi's cheeks turned slightly red.

Her eyes were moist and twinkling.

Huo Xingzhou glanced at him calmly and said, "Don't you have any idea?"

Sun Weimeng said aggrievedly, "I want to sign up for a fitness class too! When I get a full body of muscle, I'll come to show off to you. Your thin layer is nothing."

"Then come back to me when you have strong tendon muscles."

Huo Xingzhou looked indifferent, and didn't take his angry words to heart at all.

Sun Weimeng stuffed a grape into his mouth.

Qiao Xi watched them make a fuss, her upturned lips showing a faint smile. With Sun Shao, such a lively guy, both Haicheng and the imperial capital were very lively.

She twisted the needle and inserted it into the man's Jianjing point, which is used to relieve fatigue and regulate qi and blood in the shoulder and neck. Huo Xingzhou is usually under a lot of pressure at work. She sits at her desk for hours at a time, so she can only do small things within her ability.

Buzz.

The cell phone on the coffee table vibrated.

Sun Weimeng said positively: "I'll get it! You guys continue!"

He immediately stood up and ran to the coffee table, picking up Huo Xingzhou's mobile phone. He found that it was not a call from someone, but an unread message with a picture in it.

I don’t know who sent it.

Sun Weimeng was very curious.

He glanced at Huo Xingzhou, then looked at his phone and said, "I wonder who sent you a picture. What's your screen lock password?"

He casually lay down on the physiotherapy bed and said, "Give me the phone."

Under his threat, Sun Weimeng put his phone beside him. But he stayed by the bed, unwilling to leave.

I really want to know what pictures the other party sent to Huo Xingzhou.

Huo Xingzhou unlocked the phone with his fingerprint, and the details of the unread message quickly popped up.

He clicked on the photo.

The photo filled the entire screen of the phone.

“I’ll go!”

Sun Wei exclaimed in surprise, "This is explosive news! If Lu Yingxue knew, she would be furious! Maybe she wouldn't even be in the mood to attend the needle testing conference."

Qiao Xi was also curious, so she leaned over to take a look and then stopped.

Are the people in this photo Zhong Shao and Xiang Mingzhu?

The picture is a bit blurry.

But you can see that the background of the photo is a high-end hotel, and the two of them entered the hotel together. There is also a time at the bottom of the photo, which was taken in the early morning of last night.

In other words, after they separated from Master Zhong, he went to find Xiang Mingzhu to book a room in a hotel?

Sun Weimeng laughed and joked: "What a master of time management! He is engaged to his cousin sister, and at the same time he has a tryst with his cousin sister at night. This is taking advantage of all the cousins! Does Master Zhong want to take down both the Lu and Xiang families at the same time?"

Qiao Xi listened to Sun Weimeng's words and pursed her lips slightly.

This Mr. Zhong does things without following the rules.

Does he really like Xiang Mingzhu?

That's really poor vision.

There was a vague sense of inexplicable disappointment in Qiao Xi's heart, and she always felt that he shouldn't be that kind of person.

Qiao Xi asked, "Isn't he afraid of being discovered by Lu Yingxue?"

Huo Xingzhou's eyes flashed with a leisurely smile: "The Lu and Xiang families are busy cleaning up the stock market and the broken stalls of export goods. No one will pay attention to this matter. Zhong Yi also knows his limits. He won't play two boats and capsize."

"Then why are you..."

"I sent someone to keep an eye on him." Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "In the business world, only people with the same goals will become allies. If one day, what he wants conflicts with what I want, then we will be enemies."

Huo Xingzhou didn't believe Zhong Yi.

Similarly, Zhong Yi didn't believe Huo Xingzhou.

"Are you allies now?" Qiao Xi asked softly.

"Um."

Qiao Xi was a little worried: "Becoming enemies with the Zhong family must be very dangerous. This Young Master Zhong is very cunning and decisive. Now that I think about it, he and Xiang Mingzhu are together, so he probably doesn't like her. Is he using Xiang Mingzhu?"

Huo Xingzhou looked at her and asked, "Do you think a man like him who is so high-minded would be interested in Xiang Mingzhu?"

Qiao Xi already has the answer in her heart. Zhong Yi doesn't like Xiang Mingzhu, but that doesn't mean he won't play along.

He even sold his body?

Sun Weimeng obviously thought of this as well, and asked, "Did he and Xiang Mingzhu really sleep together? Tsk tsk, what a pity. I think if they did sleep together, Xiang Mingzhu would have gotten a great advantage! That young master Zhong is really good-looking."

Even Sun Weimeng, a man, thinks she is beautiful.

Huo Xingzhou lowered his eyes. Of course not.

How could Zhong Yi sell her own body?

I guess he wanted to show some kindness to Xiang Mingzhu and get some words out of her.

For example, the Xiang family’s future plans, plans to save the stock market, etc., so as to better deal with the Xiang family and hinder them.

But in front of Qiao Xi, Huo Xingzhou didn't want to give a definite answer.

He just said: "You should ask the person concerned about this."

This is my reward for liking that matcha latte last night and sowing discord.

As long as they found the opportunity, Huo Xingzhou and Zhong Yi both chose to discredit each other in front of Qiao Xi.

This is the tacit understanding between rivals in love.

Sun Weimeng was really curious, and nodded and said, "If I have time, I will ask him in person. I thought I was already extravagant enough, but I didn't expect that this Master Zhong is even more extravagant. Cousins, you are amazing!"

In fact, he felt that something must have happened when a man and a woman went to a hotel to get a room in the middle of the night.

As I was daydreaming, the phone vibrated again.
