Chapter 979 Let’s Call It Fate

Huo family.

Qiao Xi removed the long needle inserted into the Zhongyi acupoint.

He stood up again and gently took off the gauze covering his eyes. The gauze was covered with Chinese herbal ointment, which felt cool and refreshing.

She asked softly, "How is it?"

Zhong Yi paused, saw the obvious light spot and blurry figure in front of him, and said, "I can see something, but it's not very clear."

"That means it's effective. At this rate, three more days of acupuncture should be enough. I was worried that this treatment plan wouldn't work at first, but the medication is a bit overbearing. If you feel any discomfort, tell me."

"Um."

In fact, Zhong Yi felt a little uncomfortable when taking the medicinal bath.

The pain of the injection is unbearable.

But he managed to get through it without saying a word.

Time waits for no one.

Once the Pei family and the Li family fell, many people were eager to get a piece of the pie.

But... Zhong Yi doesn't want to break up.

Why should they let others reap the spoils after they have put in the effort? Have those old foxes asked him if they want to do a zero-cost business?

"That's all for today. Let Wan Jiang take you to take a medicinal bath first."

"You're going out?"

"Well, Xingzhou will take me to Guan's house later to settle these matters in the imperial capital."

There is still one tail that has not been cleaned up in the Guan family.

"The Guan family is not suitable to become one of the four major families." Zhong Yi said lightly.

Although Guan Jingtan is good, he can't stay in the imperial capital. Maybe in a few years, the glory of the Guan family will be a thing of the past. Zhong Yi is a businessman, he will definitely take action against the Guan family.

"Are you planning to attack the Guan family?"

"If there is competition, I will not give in because of our past friendship."

Qiao Xi nodded and understood.

After a moment.

She packed her things and sat in the back seat of the car with Huo Xingzhou.

She leaned against the car window, watching the scenery passing by. She thought of the time when she first came to the capital. At that time, she was completely in the dark, afraid of doing something wrong, and afraid of being framed by others.

Be careful everywhere.

But now my mood has changed.

Who would have thought that they came to the capital just to seek justice for Grandma Qiao, and never thought that they would mess up the capital to the point where it is now.

She looked out the window and said calmly, "If we return to Haicheng, who will take over the Huo family's business in the imperial capital?"

Huo Xingzhou turned his head and looked at her. "When did you start to care about our family's business?"

"Just a casual question."

"We will send someone to take over. Haicheng is the headquarters."

"Has Jiaojiao gone home?"

"She left early to prepare for the wedding banquet. Xie Xubai also went with her. Mother must hold a grand wedding banquet in Haicheng." According to Du Ya, how could she let her only daughter get married so easily?

None of the relatives and friends in Haicheng attended Huo Sijiao's wedding banquet, so Du Ya planned to liven it up.

Of course, she also told Huo Xingzhou privately that she wanted to hold a wedding for him and Qiao Xi.

But Huo Xingzhou blocked his idea by saying that he had other ideas.

Du Ya complained to him a few words, and then devoted herself to planning Huo Sijiao's wedding.

"I hope we can make it to Jiaojiao's wedding banquet." There was some longing in Qiao Xi's eyes.

When she married into the Huo family for fun, there was no ceremony.

She entered Huo Xingzhou's room in her wedding dress, and there was no wedding banquet. In one's life, one may have a yearning for these things.

She is no exception.

only.

She stroked her slightly bulging belly and thought that it might not be enough before the baby was born.

"What are you thinking about?" Huo Xingzhou moved closer, and the warmth from his body almost approached her.

Qiao Xi shook her head. "Nothing."

But Huo Xingzhou's eyes seemed to have seen through her heart. He stretched out his slender fingers and hooked her palm: "What kind of wedding banquet do you want?"

Qiao Xi opened her mouth slightly and looked at him.

This looks a bit silly.

Huo Xingzhou touched the tip of her nose and put his forehead against hers.

Very intimate.

"I am seriously asking for your opinion."

"Should we also have a wedding reception? Would that be too much trouble?"

"You say one thing and mean another." Huo Xingzhou had a faint smile on his face. "You clearly want it in your heart, but you're pretending to be stupid. I've taught you before, you can just tell me what you want, and I can satisfy you."

"What about the stars in the sky that I want?"

Children often ask this question.

Huo Xingzhou was amused by her expression: "That can be obtained by you. I know a lot of astronomers abroad, and they have the right to name the unknown planets they find. I will find the biggest and brightest one and give it to you."

The one that can be observed with an ordinary astronomical telescope.

"What's that star called?"

"Qiao Xixing?"

"It doesn't sound good."

Qiao Xixing is weird.

"So what do you want it to be called?"

"You wanted to give it to me, so you can name it."

Huo Xingzhou's eyes flashed darkly, and a word emerged in his mind, "Let's call it fate."

"Why?"

"Because it was fate that brought you to me."

He should cherish the gift of fate.

Qiao Xi smiled and said, "We are talking about naming planets here, as if we have already got it."

Old Chen in the front row said, "Madam, I have just contacted foreign astronomers to find the brightest unknown planet that can be observed so far, and I have already bought it in the name of the young master."

The efficiency is really high!

Qiao Xi was stunned.

Huo Xingzhou laughed dumbly.

The people around him are really good at flattery.

The car soon arrived outside the Guan family palace. The stone lion at the gate was weathered, but it looked more shabby than before.

Guan Jingtan was standing at the door to greet them.

Seeing Qiao Xi getting off the car, he walked over and said, "But since you guys came here, Wen Li has been taking the medicine you prescribed. He is not as irritable now, but sometimes he is still very irritable. Is he not going to get better?"

A person who has been stupid for many years and has been spoiled by others.

Even she sometimes felt annoyed when looking at Guan Wenli.

"The poison can be removed, though the process is painful. But his temper and character still need your guidance. Perhaps he will understand your efforts after his mind clears up."

But Qiao Xi felt it was impossible to expect Guan Wenli to revive the Guan family.

Guan Wenli has been deposed.

"We don't hold out much hope." Guan Jingtan sighed, "As long as we can remove the poison and let him live a few more years, that would be great."

Qiao Xi didn't believe this polite talk. She said softly, "Why don't you meet your grandfather?"

"I'm sick, and I asked Shen Xuanzhi to treat me."

I don’t know whether it’s a real illness or just a mental illness.

Qiao Xi didn't ask any more questions. She and Huo Xingzhou walked side by side into the yard where Guan Wenli lived.

I heard screaming inside before I even entered the door.
