Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him
Chapter 746 Are You Crazy About Money?

Chapter 746: Chapter 746 Are You Crazy About Money?

"First, clarify that the crazy man on the day of the free clinic has nothing to do with me, not in the slightest."

These past couple of days, online comments have been relentless.

Mostly unfavorable to Qiao Xi.

Their victim-blaming comments are even more popular, saying that Qiao Xi’s indecent behavior led to being targeted.

Upon hearing this "first," Lu Yingxue knew that Qiao Xi had more than one condition.

She said coldly, "Fine, I’ll say publicly that it was Lu Yan’s doing. Our Lu Family personally sent him to the police station, isn’t that sincere enough?"

This move is truly ruthless!

If it was Lu Yan’s doing, then it’s a personal vendetta.

It neither harms Lu Yingxue’s reputation, and would even elevate it due to the act of turning against family for the greater good, all while completely clearing the dirt off Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi knew Lu Yingxue was ruthless, but she didn’t expect her to be this ruthless.

"Second, 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, "Alright. But it’s true that Zhong Yi likes you. I can only say you have no feelings for him, but asking me to retract my criticism of Zhong Yi is impossible! After all, I’m the one canceling the engagement with him, I can’t contradict myself. Otherwise, I’d rather not have those medicinals."

The Lu Family values reputation above all.

Qiao Xi hesitated a bit, but Huo Xingzhou casually said, "No problem."

Enough said.

The bait has just been cast!

This fishing game is just beginning.

Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou exchanged a glance, and she said, "I have only these two conditions. If you can fulfill them, I’ll immediately send someone to take you to the warehouse. Inside, there are the ten tons of prepared traditional Chinese medicine you want, enough for tomorrow’s clinic."

Lu Yingxue heard Qiao Xi say this, her heart somewhat puzzled.

Is it really that simple?

She thought Qiao Xi would make endless difficulties, but these two conditions aren’t too harsh.

Could there be other traps?

But with urgency pressing on her, Lu Yingxue had no way to investigate minutiae. Knowing there may be deceit, she still had to leap into it.

"I can fulfill these two conditions! I’ll settle it tonight when I go back!"

Lu Yan would listen to her; just going in to take the blame and serving a few years, he’s willing to sacrifice for the Lu Family.

And the clarification won’t really hurt her reputation. It’s fortunate she left some room during the interview and only said Zhong Yi liked Qiao Xi without elaborating.

There’s room to maneuver.

"Then I’ll await the good news."

Watching Lu Yingxue’s decisive manner, Qiao Xi thought if this woman weren’t utterly evil, she could quite admire her.

At least she’s decisive and can accomplish great things.

Too bad there’s no bottom line.

They are destined to be mortal enemies.

Lu Yingxue stood, speaking with a hint of warning: "I hope your Huo Family keeps its word."

"Almost forgot one thing." Qiao Xi smiled with innocence, "The ten tons of medicinal herbs will also be sold to you at twenty times the market price. You can accept that, right?"

That’s forty million? Not even counting the expensive medicinal herbs!

If all added up, it would soar to fifty million!

Lu Yingxue felt a whirlwind, her vision darkening.

It took her a while to recover!

Extortion!

Normally these are sold for over two hundred thousand per ton, and now they’re asking this much!

Why don’t they just rob!

No wonder the conditions were made so simple; they were waiting here. Lu Yingxue’s odd feelings were all replaced with anger, leaving no suspicion of more plots by Qiao Xi!

Lu Yingxue lost her composure, yelling, "Have you gone mad for money!"

Qiao Xi was very calm, "Maybe."

The costs aside, these tens of millions can be used to establish the Xingyue Foundation.

It could save many families on the brink of collapse!

Using the Lu Family’s money to do good deeds, she felt no guilt at all.

Qiao Xi put down the water cup, looked at her, and said: "The choice is in your hands, you can choose to refuse. I am not forcing you to buy these herbs at a high price, Miss Lu, don’t you agree?"

What a load of crap!

Lu Yingxue’s blood rushed to her head, her scant rationality the only thing preventing her from slapping Qiao Xi’s face.

She had no choice!

Knowing full well she’s being deliberately fleeced, she can only accept.

Once the bow is drawn, there’s no turning back!

The sunk cost is too high; she can’t back out now.

Lu Yingxue calculated her own assets and the Lu Family’s liquidity could add up to fifty million.

Who would keep so much liquid capital without investing!

She even suspected this couple had assessed the Lu Family’s financial status.

Lu Yingxue gritted her teeth, her lips trembling.

Seeing Qiao Xi in such a leisurely state, even her tongue bled.

The taste of blood spread in her mouth, and only after a long while did she breathe unsteadily and said: "I’ll transfer the money to your account, but I must see the goods!"

She seemed to have said that before today.

She was extorted by two people in succession.

"Alright, thank you for your patronage. Take care on your way out. Once you’ve completed my two conditions, I’ll have someone contact you."

Qiao Xi’s politeness was nonexistent in front of Lu Yingxue.

Lu Yingxue left in anger!

Her footsteps even sounded angry.

Qiao Xi’s lips curled into a smile.

If it’s just this, and she’s so mad already?

She’d be furious in the future, wouldn’t she?

Huo Xingzhou’s thumb brushed her lip corner, gently stroking, "I never felt your mouth was so infuriating."

Sarcastic and a little cute.

Qiao Xi turned her gaze to him, "Maybe I learned it from Jiaojiao, and it works quite well."

Annoying but effective!

No wonder Jiaojiao always goes online to learn some trash-talking skills; it feels good to see an arch-enemy seething!

Huo Xingzhou’s handsome face showed a significant smile, "You never learn the good things, always such things."

"Isn’t this good? Fewer people will dare bully me in the future."

He leaned closer to her, his breath on her cheeks.

Their lips barely brushing, inducing a shiver.

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but press her lips together, bringing them even closer. The man seemed to have suppressed himself for days, kissing her lips gently.

His big hand couldn’t help moving to her back, holding her waist.

Deepening the kiss.

Qiao Xi closed her eyes, pressing against his body.

These days, their intimate moments were few and far between, too busy. Also, with her newly pregnant, he didn’t dare provoke her.

Today was unexpected.

His kisses were fierce and passionate.

No one disturbed them.

Qiao Xi tilted her head back, and when his lips moved to her neck, she trembled.

"Okay... that’s enough."

Her voice slightly quavered, "We can’t continue."

Huo Xingzhou held her tight, speaking softly, "I never planned to go further, I know the limits."

It’s just the taste of kissing is too intoxicating, he loves her and wants to be close to her.

It’s the instinct of love.

"My body needs to be well-nourished, at least for the first three months..."

Huo Xingzhou’s voice was very light, "Before you give birth, I won’t." If the doctor’s diagnosis of twins is correct, then he must be even more cautious.

Not to harm her body for a moment’s pleasure.

Qiao Xi hummed in agreement, only seeing him calm down after a long while did she speak again.

"If Lu Yingxue suddenly realizes that, would she go mad?"

Huo Xingzhou laughed deeply, "The entire Lu Family would go mad."
