Chapter 597 Zhong Yi said, I have a sweetheart
Qiao Xi followed the figure to a secluded place. Lao Chen behind her also kept a certain safe distance, fearing that she might be in danger.
With Lao Chen around, Qiao Xi became bolder in doing things.
She shouted loudly, "Mr. Zhong."
The young man in front of her stopped, turned around and looked at her inexplicably: "Doctor Qiao."
Qiao Xi walked in front of him, her almond-shaped eyes reflecting the familiar and handsome face of the man in front of her, and there seemed to be a voice in her heart.
She kept a warm smile on her face, and her eyes were filled with inquiry. Xu Yunye said that Ah Yi was confirmed dead in the county hospital that year, and he even got the yellowed medical record.
But she saw more familiar things in Zhong Yi.
Those little actions, those excuses that sound plausible.
"Master Zhong, congratulations."
Qiao Xi spoke in a slow voice.
Zhong Yi's eyes flashed darkly: "You don't have to say congratulations, our two families are just getting married, a combination of interests. Besides, today's engagement party may not be smooth, my eldest brother is very powerful."
The last thing Zhong Lingxiao wanted was for him to receive such a big help from the Lu family.
There will definitely be some tampering.
Qiao Xi looked at Zhong Yi's handsome face, which was so exquisite that it was almost impeccable, and asked, "Does Mr. Zhong not like Miss Lu?"
"How can I like a family marriage?" Zhong Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at her seriously and said, "If you can't marry the person you like, it doesn't matter who you marry."
Qiao Xi was stunned, her eyes filled with inexplicable emotions.
Zhong Yi took a step closer to her: "Dr. Qiao said before that I look a lot like one of your friends. If you hadn't married Huo Xingzhou for the sake of happiness, and if your good friend hadn't died, would you have liked him?"
Zhong Yi still seemed to smell of alcohol.
He was the protagonist today, and the guests at the banquet were very hospitable, so he had to drink some of the wine.
Perhaps because he drank too much, the corners of his eyes were red, and his amorous eyes looked even more watery and sparkling.
"Who can say for sure about hypothetical things?" Qiao Xi said calmly, "The fact is that he died and I married Huo Xingzhou. Without this hypothesis, why did Master Zhong ask this?"
Zhong Yi closed her eyes and said: "I have a lover who is somewhat similar to Dr. Qiao.
She is shy, but strong-willed. She comes from a humble family, but she is kind and pure. I have always wanted to get an answer. If I had not been engaged to Lu Yingxue, would we have had a chance to be together, even if there was only a slight possibility. "
Qiao Xi's heart moved slightly, and she frowned and asked him, "Do you like her very much?"
Zhong Yi looked at her deeply: "Yes, I have liked her for many years. Miss Qiao, I am not sure whether she likes me. I cannot bring her into the vortex of our family's infighting. This is my lifelong regret. So, I want to ask if you were her, would you like me a little?"
He may have drunk too much and revealed a side of himself that no one knows about.
Qiao Xi could already imagine that if Lu Yingxue knew about the existence of that woman, she would definitely try her best to grind her to ashes.
Qiao Xi said slowly: "This kind of question should be asked to the person involved. I can't give you an answer, Mr. Zhong..."
There was a flash of mockery in Zhong Yi's eyes, but he never asked the question.
What if that person is you?
"Young Master!"
"Master Zhong!"
"My young master, why are you here drunk? The engagement ceremony is about to begin, and Miss Lu has sent people to look for you everywhere. You haven't changed into your suit jacket yet, so hurry up." Wan Jiang trotted over and said breathlessly.
"knew."
Zhong Yi was not in a very good mood. He frowned, turned around and left with Wan Jiang.
Qiao Xi stood there for a while, and Huo Sijiao came closer with the sound of high heels. It was obviously her from her impetuous look.
"Sister-in-law! All my business cards have been distributed, and several people have even applied for diamond cards. Thanks to the Jade Muscle Cream, our beauty salon has made a splash! I am becoming more and more confident in this business, and the opening will surely shock the whole city!"
Huo Sijiao is very energetic!
The self-esteem that was hurt by Shen Xuanzhi gradually returned, although I still felt uncomfortable seeing him in pairs with others today.
Huo Sijiao tried hard to suppress the hurt.
He appeared with Guan Jingtan, probably to recuperate the Guan family as other guests had rumored.
"sister in law."
She took Qiao Xi's hand and said, "The engagement ceremony is about to begin, let's hurry over. Lu Yingxue is so suspicious, it's unnecessary to ask you to choose a dress."
"What?"
"You'll know when you see her."
Huo Sijiao dragged Qiao Xi to the banquet hall. Qiao Xi looked around and found that the guests were gathered in front of the ceremonial desk. However, Huo Xingzhou was not seen in the crowd, and Xie Xubai was nowhere to be seen either.
I don't know what these two are discussing.
The lights in the castle dimmed.
All focus is on the podium.
The handsome men and beautiful women are very eye-catching.
Lu Yingxue wore a classic white wedding dress that accentuated her beautiful figure, while Zhong Yi, who was standing next to her, wore a white suit with gold butterfly cuffs.
He stands out even more when standing next to Lu Yingxue.
Everybody knows it.
This marriage is considered as marrying up for the Lu family.
After all, the Lu family is not even one of the four major families. The original Xiang family fell again, and the Lu family became even weaker in the imperial capital.
Lu Bangnong and Zhong Yi's father Zhong Hongfei stood on both sides of the young man with decent smiles on their faces.
Zhong Hongfei was dissatisfied, but he had to organize the engagement banquet because of the old lady's order. The old lady was too old to attend such a lively occasion, so she did not come today.
Si Yi handed the microphone to Zhong Hongfei.
Zhong Hongfei took the microphone and said in a deep voice: "Dear guests, relatives and friends. We are gathered here today to witness the engagement of the Zhong and Lu families, and the marriage of their children and daughters. Here, on behalf of the Zhong family, I would like to welcome you all!"
"The engagement ceremony now officially begins!"
The engagement ceremony of a wealthy family is still quite particular, but it is simpler than a wedding ceremony.
First, the marriage certificate was signed.
The staff brought up the engagement certificate, and the ceremonial director said, "Please ask Mr. Zhong and Ms. Lu to press their fingerprints on the marriage certificate, which means that you are in love and will be together forever."
Lu Yingxue walked forward slowly, holding up the hem of her skirt. She placed her finger on the ink pad and lightly pressed a red handprint on her name.
Then he took a wet towel, wiped his fingertips and put them aside.
"Ayi, it's your turn."
Her willow-leaf eyes curved as she looked towards Zhong Yi.
Zhong Yi's face was very indifferent, and he didn't look happy at all. But he was never an easy person to get along with, and many people thought it was normal, and secretly praised him for not showing his emotions.
"Ayi?" Seeing that he didn't move, Lu Yingxue called out again.
She felt inexplicably irritated. Would Zhong Yi want to break off the engagement in public?
I just heard from my informant that he and Qiao Xi met alone!
