Chapter 529 Is This Temptation Great?

"What are your plans for asking Mingzhu and Li Song? Just now downstairs, I saw that you seemed to have only told half of the story."

That half can fool Young Master Sun, but it can't fool her.

Qiao Xi raised her eyes and looked at his cold pale face, feeling a little proud.

Huo Xingzhou sat beside her bed, looked at her seriously and praised her: "The little doctor has become smarter. It was easy to deceive her before."

"Just tell me."

Huo Xingzhou held her left hand and whispered, "Xiang Mingzhu wants to win the first place in the needle testing competition!"

"No wonder..."

Qiao Xi recalled Xiang Mingzhu's strange expression. She said that she was happy to see Lu Yingxue and her because they were competitors.

Qiao Xi frowned and asked, "But why does Xiang Mingzhu want to compete with Lu Yingxue? Xiang Mingzhu is not as strong as Lu Yingxue, how can she win! The Lu family and the Xiang family only need to guarantee one leader, so are they still fighting among themselves?"

Internal strife will lead to chaos.

Lu Bannong will definitely not allow this to happen.

Could it be that Xiang Mingzhu...

"Xiang Mingzhu is selfish." Huo Xingzhou stretched out his finger, gently smoothed her brow and said, "Xiang Mingzhu doesn't dare to be known by them. Little did she know that Lu Bangnong's arrangement was the best. In the second round, she bribed Li Songwen and there were already clues. This time bomb, I can make it explode whenever I want!"

"Then why keep Xiang Mingzhu..." Qiao Xi looked at him deeply, wanting an answer.

"Let them fight each other. They bully and harm you. I can't wipe out the four major families at once, but I can always give you a big gift in return."

This grand gift is the champion of the needle-testing conference.

Huo Xingzhou smiled coldly, "I hope Xiang Mingzhu won't let us down."

Qiao Xi slowly let out a sigh of relief, "Why does Xiang Mingzhu have to be the champion?"

She can't figure it out!

The Xiang family and the Lu family are closely related, and it will also be beneficial to the Xiang family if Lu Yingxue becomes the leader.

"Because someone promised that if she won the first place in the needle testing competition, she would be given the position of the young lady of the Zhong family. Is this a big temptation?"

Qiao Xi's breath was choked.

I remembered that elegant and noble man after a long time.

Her pupils shrank slightly: "Did Master Zhong say that?"

"yes."

"Why does Mr. Zhong..." What good will it do for the Zhong family to stir up disputes among the cousins?

Things seem to be getting more and more complicated.

"He also has selfish motives. This selfish motive... maybe one day you will understand it." Huo Xingzhou didn't want to say anything good for his rival who was trying to dig holes in his relationship, but he admired Zhong Yi's beauty trap.

Four ounces of force can defeat a thousand pounds without bloodshed!

Perhaps after the incident, everyone will feel that Zhong Yi is scheming and calculating, and has other intentions.

But only Huo Xingzhou knew that he just wanted his childhood sweetheart to win the game, nothing more.

No one in the imperial capital would have expected his intentions!

After hearing what he said, Qiao Xi stopped thinking about it.

She and Zhong Yi had no friendship at all, but there were many secrets between the two men. She still remembered the last late-night secret meeting. Anyway, Huo Xingzhou would never hurt her.

She yawned briefly.

Huo Xingzhou slowly lowered his head and kissed her on the corner of her lips: "Go to sleep first. I'll call you when dinner is ready."

"Hmm."

Qiao Xi responded with a nasal tone, her eyelids heavy.

She was drowsy, but she still had a fright in her dream. It was obvious that what happened today had a great impact on her, and she was just pretending to be strong on the surface.

Huo Xingzhou sat by the bed for a long time before leaving.

In the corridor.

The lights flickered.

He took out his cell phone and dialed a number he liked.

The call was quickly picked up, and Huo Xingzhou's voice was slow but full of coldness: "Don't bother Li Songwen, I have my own plans."

Zhong Yi's voice was also very cold: "If you call me five minutes later, I will send someone to beat Li Songwen to death."

He, a member of the Zhong family, couldn't do anything to the Xiang family for the time being, but couldn't he beat Li Songwen up quietly?

Zhong Yi's tone was filled with intense anger: "Today's incident was caused by my overconfidence. I thought Xiang Mingzhu was completely honest with me, but I didn't expect that she was hiding something."

I am not a complete love-minded person towards my family.

Huo Xingzhou leaned casually against the side of the corridor and said, "The Lu family runs the Chinese Medicine Association like an iron barrel. My people can't get in. Different trades are like different mountains. This trade can only be opened by Qiao Xi herself."

"Huo Xingzhou, are you so willing to give up?"

Zhong Yi sneered, "I don't think you love her that much."

Huo Xingzhou's long eyelashes fluttered: "She will become a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the future."

Traditional Chinese medicine cannot grow in a greenhouse.

He couldn't bear to see her suffer.

But what she couldn't bear even more was that her wings were broken.

Huo Xingzhou naturally wanted her to return to Haicheng and become a carefree Mrs. Huo from then on.

But it’s a pity.

She wanted to be the national doctor Qiao Xi, not a vassal of Huo Xingzhou.

She wanted to reach the top.

"Zhong Yi, you can't forget what she wants just because you want to do good for her."

Zhong Yi didn't say anything for a long time.

After a long time, a jealous remark came: "You are the most capable."

Huo Xingzhou laughed, with many mixed meanings in his laughter.

…

On the other side, in the club's private room, Zhong Yi hung up the phone.

He laughed despite being extremely angry.

He put his phone upside down on the table and didn't want to answer any calls.

Wan Jiang asked cautiously, "Master Zhong, do we still need to send someone to fight Li Songwen?"

"What are you fighting for? Retreat."

Zhong Yi's face was cold, and a layer of frost covered his jade-like face. "Isn't Huo Xingzhou the most capable? Let him handle it. I want to see what he does with Li Songwen."

Wan Jiang did not dare to comment further, but just bowed and reminded softly: "Miss Lu is here."

Zhong Yi relaxed his expression.

He knew that Lu Yingxue would come to see him.

As soon as the fake golden needle incident was exposed, Lu Yingxue lost face today. This was an unprecedented humiliation for her, an elegant and refined female Hua Tuo.

People on the Internet may defend her and not take it seriously.

But how could Lu Yingxue, who was surrounded by stars and was proud and arrogant, swallow this humiliation?

It would be terrible if she didn't come to see him.

Wan Jiang walked to the door of the private room and opened it respectfully.

Lu Yingxue walked in wearing a draped light blue dress and a short coat. It was a little chilly in the early autumn night, so she took off her coat and put it aside as soon as she entered the room.

"Ms. Lu, please take a seat."

Wan Jiang moved the chair next to her away. "You haven't had dinner yet, right? Here's the menu. Master Zhong said he's waiting for you to order."

Lu Yingxue said "thank you" in a rather cold manner.

She picked up the menu and slowly flipped through it. The menu provided by this club was a fusion of Japanese and Western cuisine. Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, she could see the bustling night view of the imperial capital outside.

Lu Yingxue ordered a dish of crab meat with sea urchin caviar and a dish of black truffle mashed potatoes.

He put the menu in front of Zhong Yi beside him. His willow-leaf eyes were clear as he looked at Zhong Yi inquiringly and asked.

"Don't you have anything you want to explain to me?"
