Chapter 551 Don't Be Impatient
Lu Yingxue looked at him expectantly with affection in her eyes.
Previously, she had taken care of the seriously injured Zhong Yi in a special clinic and had never been in his room.
As a fiancée, it's normal to make this request.
Zhong Yi glanced at her calmly and said, "Okay."
He walked in front.
Lu Yingxue followed, and from behind she could hear the teasing voices of Lu Bannong and Old Lady Zhong saying that they had a really good relationship.
The old house of the Zhong family is magnificent, and the details show the family's maturity. It is far from comparable to the Lu family, which relies on Lu Bannong's medical skills to plan for new development.
Every time Lu Yingxue comes here, she is captivated by the meticulousness of the Zhong family. She wants to become the hostess here.
Go up the stairs step by step.
After walking around a corridor lined with vintage Italian wall lamps, the two stopped in front of a door.
Zhong Yi paused, pushed open the door and walked in.
"Sit anywhere."
His politeness was somewhat casual.
Lu Yingxue saw the entire layout of the room, which was very elegant and tasteful.
The room is simple in off-white, but the carpet and lamps are decorated with velvet, which gives it a soothing feel and makes the overall color of the room less cold.
The paintings hanging on the walls are small paintings by well-known painters.
Lu Yingxue could only roughly recognize it.
She looked around before speaking, "Ayi, I believed you about the golden needles, and I also believed you about the herbal medicine factory. I also chose to believe what Mingzhu said today."
It's not that there are no doubts at all, but I choose to believe it because of my own interests.
"You really want to get engaged to me, don't you?"
Lu Yingxue walked forward, stretched out her arms and slowly hugged him from behind.
She pressed her cheek against his back, feeling the energy hidden in his body, as well as the cool, refreshing fragrance like that of aquatic plants.
She has three parts of affection for Zhong Yi, and seven parts are because he is very likely to become the next head of the Zhong family!
Zhong Yi pried her hands apart, turned around and looked at her and said, "The old lady is indeed trying to induce labor, but you don't have to be so anxious. Some things should be discussed later."
Lu Yingxue choked, and the ambiguous atmosphere disappeared.
"That's not what I meant."
Zhong Yi said this as if she was very impatient, and Lu Yingxue felt a little annoyed.
"Really? I misunderstood. I didn't get enough rest these past two days and I feel a little tired." Zhong Yi said lightly.
This sounds like seeing someone off.
Lu Yingxue was also a smart person and understood it instantly.
"Then we'll talk when we meet again. You should have a good rest." Lu Yingxue paused and asked, "Last time I hoped that you would speak well of me in front of Mr. Huang and beg him to give me a chance to accept me as his apprentice. Yi, did you really do it?"
There was suspicion in her tone.
Without waiting for Zhong Yi to answer, he continued, "I've thought about it carefully, and it seems that Qiao Xi is the one who gets the benefits in the end. If Mr. Huang can accept one apprentice, he can also accept two apprentices. Ah Yi, you have to remember that we will be husband and wife from now on."
After Lu Yingxue finished speaking, she turned around and left the room.
Zhong Yi turned around slowly and looked down the corridor.
Lu Yingxue is indeed much more difficult to deal with than Xiang Mingzhu.
I hope that what she said just now was just unintentional and not that she is suspicious of Qiao Xi.
…
Half an hour later.
The Lu family father and daughter walked out of the Zhong family's old house, and Lu Bannong, who had a smile on his face, suddenly changed his expression.
He frowned and said in a cold voice: "Send two more people to investigate Mingzhu's matter. How could the Zhong family's dragon and phoenix pendant with the Chinese character for happiness be lost so easily?"
Lu Bannong was just putting on an act in the Zhong family.
But doubts still exist in my heart.
In terms of scheming and plotting, there is no way Xiang Mingzhu could possibly compete with Zhong Yi.
"Father, do you also think this is strange?" Lu Yingxue's pretty face was cold, "No matter how stupid Xiang Mingzhu is, she would not come here to humiliate herself. Her love for Zhong Yi is real, and maybe the things she said are also true."
Lu Bannong looked at her and warned her, "I asked you to investigate, not because I want you to make a big deal out of it. What we want to investigate is Zhong Yi's attitude and his motives for doing these things. It's good for us to know the truth in our hearts, after all, you are going to marry him."
He wanted to know which words Zhong Yi said were true and which were false.
If he could find any clues, Lu Bannong would have to delve deeper into Zhong Yi's motives.
Why didn't he want the Lu family to win the championship in the needle-testing conference? It would obviously be beneficial for him to get the position of heir.
There must be a deeper reason!
Lu Yingxue took a deep breath: "If Zhong Yi really lied to us, it means that he is carrying a huge secret. If we can grasp this secret, perhaps our Lu family can control the heir of the Zhong family!"
By then, there will be nothing to fear about the Lu family in the imperial capital!
She has a vague direction, but she'll know once she finishes checking!
"Yingxue, you are always smart. Don't let me down this time."
"What about Mingzhu? The Huo family wants to sue her for intentional injury. She was taken away from the match and the media is full of scandals. Xiang Mingzhu is no longer of any use."
The Lu family treats people who have no value as if they were garbage and can be discarded at any time.
Lu Bangnong frowned in disgust: "Let the Xiang family worry about it themselves."
It's not worth it for someone who covets his cousin's husband to make any effort!
"Okay, but I think the pearl still has some value that can be utilized."
Lu Yingxue said softly.
"Father, we should deal with those rumors on the Internet. We need to let them know that the reason I didn't win the first prize is not because I'm not as good as others, but because Xiang Mingzhu was jealous of me and drugged me. Her reputation is already bad, and it doesn't matter if it gets worse."
Lu Bannong nodded with satisfaction: "You are very thoughtful. As a victim, you will receive more sympathy and mercy. I will contact you for another interview tomorrow."
"Remember to spread the news of your engagement to Zhong Yi!"
If the Xiang family is in trouble, save them if you can!
If you can't save it, then you can only abandon it!
…
The moonlight is hazy.
The night is dark.
The needle testing conference has come to an end.
The internet was abuzz with news, and the forums were full of information about the needle testing conference. Qiao Xi's background and experience were all dug out.
"She grew up in the countryside, but she is actually the real daughter of the Liu family who has been missing for more than 20 years! What a dramatic life!"
"The disciple of the national doctor Cheng Han is worthy of his reputation!"
"She is still so young, she will definitely have a bright future! I don't know where this Dr. Qiao will see patients, but I heard that the Chinese Medicine Association arranges free Chinese medicine consultations every month. I think it will be the turn of this new leader next month!"
"Lu Yingxue is not bad either!"
"Yes, our Imperial Capital's female Hua Tuo has been treating us for free for so many years, and her medical skills are obvious to all!"
"Lu Yingxue must be very sad. She almost won the championship."
"Xiang Mingzhu, you will be in jail for life!"
"Xiang Mingzhu, get out of the Chinese medicine community and stop tarnishing this sacred profession!"
the other side.
In the Huo Family Villa restaurant, everyone gathered together to enjoy delicious food and fine wine.
Sun Weimeng read out these online comments into his mobile phone.
Huo Xingzhou, who was sitting next to him, was almost attacked by his saliva and stuffed a napkin into his mouth with a cold face.
Sun Weimeng said “Puh” twice, put down his phone and stopped talking.
But his eyes were rolling around, and when he glanced at the unfamiliar face opposite him, he had another bad idea.
