Chapter 555: The Red Luan Star Moves, and the Old House Catches Fire
Shen Xuanzhi's hands clenched and dropped at his sides, with an indescribable uneasiness in his heart.
Finally, he bit his tongue and said in a rather unkind tone, "You and I have no friendship, let alone know you. There should be nothing to talk about between us. Sorry."
After he said this, he turned and went into the hotel.
But when he thought about the hotel manager calling this man Mr. Xie, Shen Xuanzhi roughly guessed his identity.
The fifth noble family in the imperial capital, the eldest son of the Xie family.
Thanks for the explanation.
It is said that the Xie family has a clean and honest reputation, the men are very principled, and there has never been a precedent of cheating or domestic violence.
This is the family tradition, and we believe that family harmony will bring prosperity.
Many noble ladies wanted to marry into the Xie family, but Xie Xubai was thirty years old this year and had not found love. He had never had a confidante, let alone a marriage partner.
Shen Xuanzhi noticed his special feeling towards Huo Sijiao.
…
Xie Xubai looked at Shen Xuanzhi's departing back, and said in a gentle voice: "Take good care of Miss Huo tonight. She will not feel very comfortable after a hangover. Prepare some easy-to-digest and light breakfast tomorrow morning. Ask her if she has any other needs. All will be met."
She seemed to be in a bad mood, otherwise she wouldn't have fallen asleep with tears on her eyes.
"Okay, Mr. Xie." The lobby manager asked tentatively, "Do you need to tell Miss Huo that this is your order?"
Xie Xubai's face was as white as jade, and his eyes fell on Huo Sijiao who was supported at the side: "No need. This is a special treatment given by the hotel to the president as a VIP. This standard will be followed from now on."
"OK."
The manager nodded.
"I'm leaving now. I hope that the issues raised today for the hotel to rectify will be resolved by the time I come to inspect next time."
"Yes, Mr. Xie."
Xie Xubai left the hotel with his assistant and got in the car.
The brave assistant Ning sat in the passenger seat, feeling itchy inside, and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Xie, what question did you want to ask that kid just now? I saw him running away."
Assistant Ning and Xie Xubai were college classmates, and they usually didn't have to be so particular or polite in their conversation.
"No questions."
Xie Xubai's gaze fell on the car window, the neon lights in the night were bright and dazzling.
"That boy obviously has feelings for Miss Huo, and Miss Huo likes him. It seems that the daughter-in-law that the Xie family is about to get is about to fly away. After the New Year, you will be 31 years old, and your mother will have to arrange a blind date party again."
Assistant Ning said with great emotion.
Xie Xubai's eyebrows were covered with a faint smile: "Everything depends on fate. You are the same age as me, and you are not in a hurry."
Assistant Ning laughed and said, "No one in my family is pushing me to work, and I have devoted my whole life to my career. But some people say that everything is up to fate, and now their true colors are showing."
If Xie Xubai is a fox, then he is an elegant and noble white fox.
"Mr. Xie, if you really go with the flow, why did you arrange someone to look after Miss Huo tonight? Aren't you afraid that young men and women might get carried away and do something? When drunk, it's easiest to lose control. If you send someone to look after her, you'll eliminate this possibility."
Assistant Ning has been with him for a long time and knows his style of doing things.
Xie Xubai's brows were wide and he didn't deny it. He spoke gently: "People should be sober and responsible for their choices, instead of being confused by alcohol and regretting their lives."
Assistant Ning smiled and said, "I hope you can always stay sober and calm, and don't let me see the old house on fire and get emotionally agitated."
Xie Xubai glanced at him and did not continue the conversation. Instead, he said, "Always pay attention to the Xiang family's movements. Xiang Mingzhu caused such a scene, and Xiang Hai was secretly admitted to the hospital for treatment. We don't know what the situation is at the moment, but if Xiang Hai's health can't hold up, shareholders will also lose confidence in the Xiang family."
"Yes, I know. I have sent people to the hospital to wait, but the Xiang Group is in the pharmaceutical business and is very tight-lipped about this. I'm afraid it's difficult to get first-hand information. I hope that Mr. Huo can help."
Xie Xubai leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes slightly and said, "Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing."
He had been planning with the Huo family for a long time, just to make the Xie family leap forward in the selection of the four great families.
Assistant Ning laughed and said, "I remember you told your family that you would build your career first and then start a family. When the favorable wind comes, how can you avoid blind dates?"
Even the descendants of such a big family still have to face the pressure to get married!
…
the next day.
Qiao Xi woke up in the big bed in the villa. Nothing substantial happened between them last night.
Huo Xingzhou was not so demanding. Her arm was burned and she needed to rest. When she and Grandpa Cheng were in the countryside, they read ancient books and made many strange things.
Among them is a beauty recipe called Yuji Cream, which can remove scars and whiten the skin.
I can give it a try once my injury gets better.
It will leave scars, but I'll just let it be.
Qiao Xi slept very comfortably. After the needle test meeting, all the tension in her body seemed to relax. She had no dreams all night and looked very healthy when she woke up.
The bed next to him had been empty for a long time, and Huo Xingzhou didn't know when he got up.
After a quick wash, Qiao Xi went downstairs.
Xiao Yuan was cleaning the bathroom, and when she saw this, she said, "Madam, you are up now, what would you like to eat?"
It's already ten o'clock and we're having brunch.
"Just keep it simple. What about the others?"
"Young Master is holding an overseas video conference in the study. As for Young Master Sun and Uncle Chen, they drank too much last night and haven't woken up yet. I think they can only hurry up and eat lunch."
Xiaoyuan said with a smile, her round face was pretty and kind.
Qiao Xi nodded: "Then let them sleep."
"Well, Madam, I'll go make you something to eat right now. There are a lot of ready-made noodles in the refrigerator. I'll make you a bowl of Yangchun noodles."
"good."
Qiao Xi wandered into the living room and turned on the TV out of boredom.
She sat on the soft sofa, and the TV was playing a local channel.
It was a morning interview on a certain section of the Imperial Capital TV station, and the woman's face on the screen was very familiar.
It’s Lu Yingxue!
She dressed simply but the details highlighted her figure.
Lu Yingxue's fame in the imperial capital is comparable to that of a movie star. As a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, she is regarded as the savior of the suffering, and her die-hard fans believe in and protect her as if they have been brainwashed.
Even though the needle test meeting yesterday failed, they could find a hundred reasons for Lu Yingxue.
This time, Lu Yingxue accepted a public interview on the second day of the test needle conference, and it was very popular.
The number of viewers instantly reached hundreds of thousands.
Qiao Xi did not change the channel, but drank warm water on an empty stomach while watching Lu Yingxue's interview.
The host happened to ask Lu Yingxue why she had a dispute with Xiang Mingzhu at the needle testing conference.
This is what many people are concerned about.
There seems to be some irreconcilable conflict between these cousins!
Qiao Xi held the water cup in both hands, waiting to see what Lu Yingxue would say.
