Chapter 746 Are You Crazy About Money?
"First, let me clarify that the crazy man at the free clinic that day had nothing to do with me. Not at all."
There have been endless comments online in the past two days.
Basically, they are all disadvantageous to Qiao Xi.
There were even more comments supporting the victim-blaming theory, saying that Qiao Xi was targeted because of her improper behavior.
When Lu Yingxue heard the word "first", she knew that Qiao Xi was more than just a condition.
She said in a cold voice: "Okay, I will tell everyone that it was Lu Yan who did it. Our Lu family personally sent him to the police station. Is that enough sincerity?"
This move is really cruel!
Since it was Lu Yan who did it, it must be a personal grudge.
It would not damage Lu Yingxue's reputation, but would raise her reputation to a higher level because of her sacrifice of her own family for the sake of justice, and it would also completely cleanse the dirt on Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi knew that Lu Yingxue was cruel, but she didn't expect her to be so cruel.
"Second, I want to clarify my relationship with Zhong Yi. I don't want to see irrelevant people speculating about my private life."
This condition was also within Lu Yingxue's expectations.
She nodded and said, "Okay. But it's true that Zhong Yi likes you. I can only say that you have no feelings for him, but it's impossible for me to take back my criticism of Zhong Yi! After all, it's me who wants to break off the engagement with him, and I can't slap myself in the face. Otherwise, I'd rather not have these herbs."
The Lu family values reputation the most.
Qiao Xi hesitated, but Huo Xingzhou beside her said nonchalantly, "No problem."
Just enough.
The bait has just been thrown!
This fishing game has just begun.
Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou looked at each other and said, "These are my two conditions. If you can do it, I will send someone to take you to the warehouse immediately. There are ten tons of prepared Chinese medicinal materials you want, which is enough for tomorrow's consultation."
When Lu Yingxue heard Qiao Xi say this, she felt a little confused.
Is it that simple?
She thought Qiao Xi would make things difficult for her, and these two conditions were not too harsh.
Maybe there are other traps?
But now she was so anxious that she couldn't investigate the details. She knew it might be a scam, but she still jumped in.
"I can meet these two conditions! I'll solve them when I get home tonight!"
Lu Yan listened to her the most and was willing to sacrifice himself for the Lu family, even if it meant serving a few years in jail.
There are still things to clarify, so it's not like she's hitting herself in the face. Fortunately, she left a hint when she was interviewed, just saying that she liked Qiao Xi, and didn't say much more.
There is still room for maneuver.
"Then wait for good news."
Qiao Xi looked at Lu Yingxue's fierce and powerful appearance and thought that if this woman was not so evil, she would still admire her.
At least she is decisive and can accomplish great things.
Unfortunately, there is no bottom line.
They are destined to be mortal enemies.
Lu Yingxue stood up and said in a warning tone: "I hope you, the Huo family, will keep your word."
"I almost forgot one thing." Qiao Xi smiled innocently, "Those ten tons of herbs are also sold to you at twenty times the market price. Can you accept that?"
That’s 40 million? That doesn’t even include the expensive herbs!
If all the money is added together, it will reach 50 million!
Lu Yingxue felt the world spinning and everything went dark before her eyes.
It took her a while to recover!
Blackmail!
The medicinal materials that usually sell for more than 200,000 yuan per ton are now sold at such a high price!
Why don't they just rob?
No wonder the conditions were so simple, it turned out that he was waiting here. The strangeness in Lu Yingxue's heart was replaced by anger, and she no longer had the mind to suspect that Qiao Xi had other conspiracies!
Lu Yingxue lost her composure and yelled: "You guys are crazy about money!"
Qiao Xi was very calm: "Maybe."
After deducting the costs, these tens of millions can be used to build the Star-Moon Foundation.
It can save many families on the verge of breaking up!
She didn't feel guilty at all about using the Lu family's money to do good things.
Qiao Xi put down the cup, looked at her and said, "The choice is yours, you can choose to refuse. I don't force you to buy these herbs at a high price, don't you agree, Miss Lu?"
It's bullshit!
All the blood in Lu Yingxue's body rushed to her head, but her remaining rationality controlled her from slapping Qiao Xi in the face.
She has no choice!
Even though she knew that he was deliberately trying to kill her, she had no choice but to accept it.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back!
The sunk costs were too high, and there was no way she could turn back.
Lu Yingxue calculated the assets under her name and the Lu family's liquid funds and thought that she could raise 50 million.
Who would keep so much liquid funds and not invest them?
She even suspected that the couple had calculated their family's financial situation in mainland China.
Lu Yingxue gritted her teeth and her lips were trembling.
Looking at Qiao Xi's leisurely look, she bit the tip of her tongue.
The smell of blood spread in his mouth for a long time before he said with unsteady breathing: "I will transfer the money to your account, but I must see the goods!"
She seemed to have said this once before today.
She was blackmailed by two groups of people.
"Okay, thank you for your patronage. Goodbye. I'll send someone to contact you once you've fulfilled my two conditions."
Qiao Xi's politeness is zero in front of Lu Yingxue.
Lu Yingxue left angrily!
The footsteps sounded angry.
A smile spread across Qiao Xi's lips.
Are you angry just because of this?
Wouldn't he be so angry that he would die in the future?
Huo Xingzhou's fingertips landed on the corner of her lips, stroking them gently, "I've never felt that your mouth is so irritating before."
A bit weird, but also a little cute.
Qiao Xi turned to look at him: "Maybe he learned it from Jiaojiao, and it's very effective."
It’s annoying, but useful!
No wonder Jiaojiao always goes online to learn some swearing skills. It feels really good to see her arch-enemy getting so angry that he is fuming!
Huo Xingzhou's handsome face showed an obvious smile: "If you don't learn good things, you will always learn this."
"Isn't this a good thing? Few people will dare to bully me in the future."
He leaned in close to her, his breath on her cheek.
His lips brushed the corner of her lips slightly, causing some tremors.
Qiao Xi couldn't help but pursed her lips, which made the two of them closer. The man seemed to have been suppressing his emotions for several days and slowly kissed her lips.
The big hand couldn't help but move to her back and hold her waist.
Deepened the kiss.
Qiao Xi closed her eyes and moved closer to his body.
During this period, they had been intimate with each other only a few times because they were too busy. Also, because she was newly pregnant, he did not dare to arouse her emotions casually.
Today was not what I expected.
His kiss was fierce and passionate.
No one disturbs you.
Qiao Xi tilted her head back, and she shuddered when his lips moved to her neck.
"But...it's OK."
She said with a trembling voice, "We can't go on."
Huo Xingzhou hugged her tightly and said softly, "I didn't want to continue at first. I know my limits."
It's just that the feeling of kissing is too addictive. He likes her and wants to be close to her.
This is the instinct of love.
"I need to take good care of my body. I can't do that for at least the first three months..."
Huo Xingzhou said softly: "I didn't do that before you gave birth." If what the doctor said about twins was true, then he would have to be more careful.
You can't harm her body just for your own momentary pleasure.
Qiao Xi hummed, and watched him calm down for a long time before he spoke.
"If Lu Yingxue suddenly realized what happened, would she go crazy?"
Huo Xingzhou laughed deeply: "The Lu family will go crazy."
