Chapter 745 Lu Yingxue Humiliates Herself
Zhao Chang finally called!
The hearts of both the Lu family father and daughter were in tension, but their tense hearts finally relaxed.
Zhao Chang!
He made them worry for the whole day, and they will definitely give him a good scolding when the call gets through.
Lu Bannong picked up the phone and vented immediately: "Zhao Chang! I've been calling you all day, where the hell have you been? Do you know how much we are short of medicinal materials now? Don't forget the ten-year medicinal material supply agreement."
"Mr. Lu, our boss...our boss has been arrested!"
The person who made the call was just one of Zhao Chang's assistants. He took Zhao Chang's phone and started asking for help from those connections.
"Mr. Lu, please find a way to save our boss! Our boss was caught for smuggling and the police won't let him see anyone." The young assistant was very anxious because most of the people in the plantation had been arrested.
He was just a little follower of Zhao Chang and didn't know many things, so the police didn't arrest him.
"What?"
Lu Bannong's face turned pale. "Zhao Chang was arrested? Can the medicinal materials still be sent to the imperial capital now?"
"Hey Mr. Lu, the factory is in chaos now! Who has time to deliver herbs to you? Our plantation has been sealed off!"
The assistant cried and said, "Mr. Lu, you are a good friend of our boss. Is there any way to save him?"
Lu Bannong felt his head buzzing and was so angry that he was fuming.
The whole person fainted!
With a thud, the cell phone fell to the ground.
"Father!"
Lu Yingxue panicked as soon as she saw the man's pulse and found that he was suffering from a heart attack due to anger.
She took out a long needle and inserted it into his philtrum. Only then did Lu Bannong slowly wake up, but he was so angry that he had no strength to speak.
"Someone, come! Hurry up and help my father get to the lounge."
Several apprentices carefully took Lu Bangnong away.
With her backbone gone, Lu Yingxue became even more irritated. She hadn't found the herbs for tomorrow yet, and her father was sick from anger again. She really had no idea what to do.
What to do!
Do you really want to open the skylight?
Do we have to tell the outside world that the Chinese medicine clinic has run out of medicinal materials?
Isn't she slapping herself in the face? Lu Yingxue wished she could go back to the first day and swallow back the words she had said!
It’s all because of this mouth. Why did she say that there were enough medicinal materials and she would accept anyone who came?
Lu Yingxue took out her cell phone, but received no response from any of the medicinal material contacts she contacted.
She saw Zhong Yi's received call in the call log, and thought that since Zhong Yi was able to come up with three tons of prepared medicinal materials, then... does he have any other goods?
If you buy it at a high price, it is worth it if it can help you cope with it for a while.
Lu Yingxue endured it and called Zhong Yi.
Unfortunately, the person I picked up was Wanjiang.
Wan Jiang revealed the information very politely: "Miss Lu, if you want medicinal herbs now, it's best to contact the Huo family. The Zhao family's plantation in the southwest was taken over by the second son of the Xu family and registered under Miss Qiao's name. It was also the Liu family who helped when the Zhao family got into trouble."
"Ms. Lu, you may not be able to get other herbs for a while, so you can only try your luck at the Huo family. They are in the imperial capital, and they may have a herb warehouse. Our Master Zhong also got his herbs from there."
The call was disconnected.
Lu Yingxue's chest heaved violently and her nostrils expanded and contracted.
Qiao Xi!
These are all traps set by them!
Now I can only ask the Huo family for help!
But even though she knew it was a trap, she had no way to do anything.
"Someone, prepare a car for me." Lu Yingxue shouted angrily, "Hurry up."
…
The Huo family villa was brightly lit.
It was dinner time and the food smelled delicious.
Qiao Xi picked up some light dishes, and she and Huo Xingzhou sat at the table, enjoying a rare moment of leisure. Everyone else had gone out, and the atmosphere between the two of them was very warm.
Huo Xingzhou served her a bowl of fresh mushroom soup and blew on it gently.
"Chicken soup is too greasy, try this."
"good."
Qiao Xi took a small sip and found that it tasted good.
And she doesn't feel nauseous or vomiting, because her morning sickness reaction is very severe.
Recently, she also felt that Huo Xingzhou was very concerned about her, almost to the point of being meticulous. Moreover, this man kept looking at her belly, as if he could see something.
"Eat more, we have an unexpected guest to meet later."
Huo Xingzhou said lightly.
"Know."
She already knew about the Southwest Plantation.
But she didn't expect that the Liu family and Xu Yunye registered all the plantations under her name, and he was the one who managed them on her behalf.
This is really... a huge favor!
But Qiao Xi didn't have time to think about this now. She had to deal with the affairs of the imperial capital first and then make plans.
The Lu family's appetite is too big, which makes it difficult to get off the tiger. They must get the herbs for tomorrow's free clinic, otherwise they will be in trouble.
Qiao Xi drank a few sips of soup and felt half full.
"Master, Madam!" Xiao Yuan walked quickly to the restaurant and said, "There's a guest outside who wants to see Madam."
Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou looked at each other.
It came so quickly!
Huo Xingzhou moved gracefully and said calmly, "Let her wait." He picked up another piece of vegetables for Qiao Xi with his chopsticks and said, "Eat more vegetables, they are nutritionally balanced. Eat slowly, there is no need to rush."
Qiao Xi nodded and ate every bite very seriously.
Xiaoyuan listened to his instructions and walked out of the restaurant.
She poured a cup of tea and placed it on the tea table, saying, "Miss Lu, please have some tea. Our young master and young mistress are having dinner, so please wait a moment."
Lu Yingxue looked puzzled and nodded.
But who knew that the wait would take more than an hour? Who takes so long to eat dinner?
It was clearly a show of power to intimidate her!
Lu Yingxue was angry, but she didn't dare to lose her temper.
It was not until her patience was exhausted that Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou had an affair.
"Miss Qiao."
Different from the pride and ridicule in the past few days, Lu Yingxue was more polite when facing Qiao Xi.
After all, I am asking for help from others!
She didn't expect that she would have to bow to Qiao Xi now!
"Miss Lu is such a rare guest." Qiao Xi sat on the sofa, looking at Lu Yingxue and said with a smile. Huo Xingzhou stood beside her, his cold aura made people feel a little scared.
It seemed like he was here just to calm things down.
Lu Yingxue got straight to the point: "I'm here to discuss the supply of medicinal materials."
"Oh, what does it have to do with me?" Qiao Xi's almond-shaped eyes were clear and innocent.
"Zhao Chang has been arrested. You are the ones who caused the Southwest Plantation! The burning of our Lu family's medicinal materials is also related to you. What does Miss Qiao say now that it has something to do with you? What do you think it has to do with you?"
Qiao Xi asked back: "So what?"
Lu Yingxue swallowed her anger and said, "I want to buy the herbs you have, tonight! The price is negotiable, I want ten tons!"
Just in case of emergency.
Before Qiao Xi finished speaking, Huo Xingzhou poured her a glass of warm water and handed it to her.
When Lu Yingxue saw that other men were so considerate, she thought of Zhong Yi and felt annoyed again.
"Qiao Xi, if you have any conditions, just tell me directly!"
Qiao Xi looked at the eagerness in her eyes and knew that she had absolute initiative.
So she boldly put forward her conditions.
