Chapter 903: He was asked to be smart but his intelligence led to his mistakes
Driven by inertia, Qiao Xi almost hit her head on the back of the chair.
Zhong Yi quickly reached out and put her hand on her forehead, and the impulse was relieved a lot. Qiao Xi rubbed her forehead and felt a little dizzy.
Her morning sickness had improved a little, but the sudden stop made her stomach churn.
After not being here for a long time, I feel like I’m carsick.
Qiao Xi covered her lips, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Zhong Yi opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to her, then asked, "What happened out front?"
"The road ahead is blocked by construction, and they just put up a roadblock." The butler is always a careful driver, but this time the construction team that put up the roadblock came so suddenly that he almost crashed into it.
He was a little confused.
But then I thought maybe it was because the newbies were too impatient, and the roads in the capital often need to be repaved.
"Construction? Didn't you hear about the construction when you drove to pick me up this morning?" The old lady sat in the passenger seat, looking a little unhappy.
"Xiao Wang drove here this morning. His wife asked me for leave because she was giving birth."
The housekeeper saw that there was only one open road ahead and there were too many cars and he didn't know how long he would be delayed. So he wanted to turn around and drive to the other side, but the old lady reached out and held the steering wheel and said.
“Just follow the original route.”
The old lady has lived to this age, working on construction, driving, and helping his wife give birth to children.
It seemed like a completely unrelated and normal thing, but I felt it was too coincidental, and there was something wrong.
“Then the traffic jam might last a long time.”
"I can wait."
The old lady leaned back on the passenger seat, closed her eyes and rested. His health was indeed very poor, perhaps as people get older they have a premonition.
He felt that he would not survive the next winter.
But.
Some people can't even wait to let him live one more winter.
Qiao Xi sat in the back, sipping water. She looked at the increasingly congested road outside and wondered when she would be able to go back.
She also made an appointment with Huo Xingzhou to have lunch together at a newly opened restaurant that suited her taste very well. It was located downstairs of the Tianyuan Building in the imperial capital. After sending the old lady of the Zhong family off and prescribing her a prescription for conditioning, she could go there with Sun Shao after settling down.
But the traffic jam in the capital can last for hours, so you never know when you can get there.
Maybe I have to break my promise.
Qiao Xi tried hard to suppress the hatred in her heart, looked at Zhong Yi and whispered, "All those cars behind are sending the old lady back to the old house. Is Zhong Lingxiao here too?"
"He should be here."
"The Pei family has suffered a blow recently, and I always feel that they will not let it go. I heard that they will put the blame on you. If Pei Zheng and Zhong Lingxiao join forces again, it will be hard to guard against. You should be careful in the future."
She knew that Zhong Yi's final destination was in the imperial capital.
Since he wants to fight for that position, the Zhong family will be his base from now on.
The young boy can never go back to Moon Village.
Zhong Yi's eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a painting, and they seemed to be very bright: "Are you concerned about me?"
When I was young, I didn't think Qiao Xi's casual words were precious, but now I feel that the relationship between them is increasingly distant. It seems that he needs some luck to get a word of concern from her.
“It’s caring.”
Qiao Xi was very frank, "It's also a reminder. I don't want you to have any accidents."
"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Even if it's for you, I will protect myself.
Qiao Xi smiled and watched the car moving at a turtle speed. She lowered her head and sent a message to Huo Xingzhou to explain the situation.
The two of them did not avoid talking to the old lady, and the more the old lady listened, the more she felt sorry for him. After experiencing a life-and-death experience, he was no longer so obsessed with some things.
The rear of the convoy.
Zhong Lingxiao sat in the car.
Those he brought with him fell behind.
Seeing that the first car the old lady was riding in did not change its route, he cursed coldly: "Old thing!"
He knew that this old guy was very smart and never dared to look down on him.
But this time, the cleverness backfired.
His people were not on this road or that road, but on the only way back to the Zhong family's old house, at the intersection of the middle of the mountain. There were many cars on the middle of the mountain, and it was the last noisy area leading to the old house.
When the Zhong family's old house was built, they attached great importance to Feng Shui. It is said that they also considered the dragon's aura and the blessed land.
So we chose a place near mountains and water.
There are fewer people but it is quiet in the midst of noise.
That's the best place to start.
Lao Dongxi was recently hospitalized and lost control of the old house, so Zhong Lingxiao felt that everything was safe.
"Young Master, everyone is already in ambush."
"Got it. Just keep waiting."
Zhong Lingxiao looked at the busy traffic outside with great patience. He had already planned such a bloody scene countless times in his mind and had dealt with all the loopholes.
This time, it’s a sure kill!
The congestion on the main road was not cleared until two hours later.
Cars started one after another and moved slowly forward.
The entire huge convoy of the Zhong family also drove away, and the return journey was as peaceful as usual, without any of the obstacles that the old lady had imagined.
He thought that Zhong Lingxiao shouldn't be so impatient.
Living together in the old house in the future, there will be plenty of opportunities to take action. The old lady cannot guarantee that she can avoid all dangers. Maybe the old house is full of traps. Even if Zhongyi moves back with him, who can find out all the people who have been bribed?
Although the heir he personally nurtured is prone to being carried away by success, he is also resourceful.
Otherwise, the two younger generations wouldn't have been fighting until now, with no winner decided.
"Doctor Qiao, please stay for lunch. It's time to go home now. I'd like you to examine me again. I'm so tired from sitting in this car, and I'm not feeling well."
Old Mrs. Zhong spoke calmly.
He spoke lightly, but his face was pale. He looked like he was suffering from physical pain, not from a car accident.
Qiao Xi felt something was wrong as soon as she saw it, "Old lady, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"It's an old problem, but I can still endure it."
Old people have these illnesses, and it's fine if they take good care of themselves. But the old lady was angry once, and she felt like she was just trying to prolong her life. He is a tough guy, and he won't pretend no matter how uncomfortable he is.
Qiao Xi glanced out the car window and saw a familiar scene.
She remembered that this place should be not far from the Zhong family's old house, so she said softly: "The environment inside the car is not suitable for taking a pulse and giving acupuncture. Please bear with it for a while. We will arrive soon, I will give it to you later..."
Before she could finish her words, the car shook and tilted slightly.
"Grandma, the tire is flat!"
"No!"
"careful!"
The car tilted to one side because of a punctured tire, and the traffic at the fork in the road suddenly increased for some unknown reason. Trucks of all sizes and cars rushed into the intersection, and one car crashed straight into the car that Qiao Xi was sitting in!
