Chapter 757: Chapter 757 Love is Blind

All the way, Qiao Xi appeared uneasy.

She gazed at the scenery flashing past outside the car window, recalling the words Huo Xingzhou said that night.

Told him not to enter the room, he really didn’t, nor did he try to find other ways.

The atmosphere between the two of them has been a bit strange these days.

On top of that, both are so busy that they haven’t had the time to sit down and talk properly.

Huo Xingzhou has always been sleeping in the guest room, never returning to the master bedroom.

Qiao Xi couldn’t bring herself to ask him to come over and sleep, especially after she drove him out that night.

Old Chen in the front seat looked at Qiao Xi’s expression through the rearview mirror and casually said, "Young Madam, that night the young master drank a lot of sulky wine in the living room. He even asked me and Young Master Sun to accompany him. The young master has a weak stomach, and he has been very busy lately... I see his sleep quality is not very good."

Since neither of them lowered their heads first, Old Chen thought it was up to him to act as a bridge.

The young master’s mood affects the ease of payday.

Sitting in the back seat, Qiao Xi’s heart instinctively tightened upon hearing Old Chen’s words.

"Has he been very busy these two days?" Qiao Xi asked seemingly unintentionally, "I see him quite idle, having three meals a day at home."

Previously, Huo Xingzhou often socialized to the point he didn’t have time to come home for meals.

"The young master is afraid you’d feel lonely eating, so he specifically comes back to accompany you. He’s been preparing the construction plan for Moon Village, which Young Master Sun is executing. The young master always cares about you deeply, he surely wouldn’t just build a chicken farm, he intends to utilize all the resources of Moon Village to make your hometown more prosperous."

Old Chen has observed these things personally, and apart from these chores, Huo Xingzhou also has to handle matters of the Tianyuan Group.

The whole person is busy like a spinning top.

Upon hearing this, the anger in Qiao Xi’s heart completely dissipated.

"Young Madam, don’t blame the young master. It’s all because Young Master Zhong is too outstanding, you guys have deep youthful ties. Even a heavenly favorite like the young master has lost his sense of security, he’s afraid you might fall for him."

"How could I!"

Qiao Xi blushed and refuted.

She is a married woman, how could she have feelings for Zhong Yi!

Morality also doesn’t allow her to do such a thing.

Old Chen sighed, "Love makes people blind."

Even Huo Xingzhou cannot escape this banality.

Qiao Xi did not speak further, she leaned against the back seat, took out her phone, and swiped on the screen, opening Huo Xingzhou’s profile picture frame.

Typed...

Then deleted.

Then typed a few lines again, and deleted them in the end.

She put the phone aside and mulled over what she should say. Would sending a message so suddenly seem a bit intentional?

Better to wait until the regular meeting of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association is over, and then go home and talk it over properly with him.

Qiao Xi took a deep breath, seeing the quaint door of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association right before her eyes.

Old Chen drove the car inside, and Qiao Xi got out.

This time, when they walked toward the Bell Tower meeting room, no one stopped them.

Because those security guards were well aware of Old Chen’s ability, even if they stopped him, he’d find a way in.

So, they didn’t bother anymore.

"Qiao Xi!"

A clear and cold female voice rang out, with an unmistakable different tone.

Qiao Xi turned her head and saw it was Lu Yingxue, dressed simply yet with a touch of elegance.

It’s often said that a rosy aura nourishes a person, and her complexion was indeed very good.

The scar on her face was almost invisible, and she looked just like when they first met, aloof yet composed. Although there was a gentle smile on her face, her willow-leaf eyes couldn’t hide the inherent coldness.

She considered herself noble and looked down on many people.

Behind Lu Yingxue was Lu Bannong, with a kindly face, yet his complexion didn’t look good, suggesting illness.

The incident at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall was really upsetting.

Looking at the father and daughter, Qiao Xi’s almond eyes gradually cooled.

"Do you have something to say?"

"Qiao Xi, let’s talk."

Lu Yingxue was concerned about the medicinal supply for the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall, so no matter how upset she was with Qiao Xi, she needed to sit down and discuss business. Otherwise, the business of the hall couldn’t continue, essentially cutting off half of the Lu Family’s lifeline.

Hearing her words, Qiao Xi chuckled, "What’s there to talk about?"

Lu Yingxue softly said, "Let’s talk in my father’s office."

"Not interested."

Qiao Xi already guessed what she wanted. Since the initiative was in her hands, she might as well see how much patience Lu Yingxue had.

"Old Chen, let’s go."

Qiao Xi called out to Old Chen and walked past the corridor directly toward the meeting room.

Lu Yingxue tightly pursed her lips, gazing intently at her departing figure, almost wishing her gaze could bore a hole.

Ungrateful!

Lu Bannong coughed twice and stepped forward to say, "She must have something she needs, otherwise she would have cut off our Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall’s medicinal supply at the start instead of selling to you at a high price. Stay calm, you will soon become the president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association."

"Yes, Father."

"My illness requires long-term rest, years of planning and energy are exhausted. I can’t withstand many more blows, the trivial matters of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association will be yours to handle, but you must consult with me for any significant changes."

Lu Bannong was unwilling to easily relinquish power and still wanted to remain the behind-the-scenes master of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.

"I understand, Father. Having you to advise me puts me at ease."

Lu Yingxue’s respect and awe for Lu Bannong were accumulated over the years, but the thought of soon becoming the president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association still filled her with uncontainable excitement.

Twenty-eight-year-old president, unprecedented!

Qiao Xi could no longer use the position of vice president to press her.

And she had become the champion of the needle trial competition at eighteen, a record that perhaps no one would ever surpass!

The two entered the meeting room to find many people already there.

Lu Bannong sat in the central seat, and as Lu Yingxue passed Qiao Xi’s spot, she cast a cold glance.

Then sat in her seat.

All the board members had arrived, with Vice President Lin and Qiao Xi sitting on either side of Lu Bannong.

Seeing the grand setup between the father and daughter, Qiao Xi felt that something major was bound to happen.

She uncovered her teacup lid and softly said to Old Chen, "Old Chen, please pour me a cup of warm water."

She was pregnant and couldn’t consume too much tea.

"Yes, Young Madam."

Old Chen took the tea cup out, and Lu Yingxue noticed this and made a mental note.

Qiao Xi had been acting strangely lately, a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner reacting to blood with nausea was indeed unusual.

But her focus was quickly drawn back to Lu Bannong.

"Everyone."

Lu Bannong raised his voice and said, "Today’s regular meeting, I have something very important to announce. This will concern the future of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, and I hope everyone will listen carefully to what I have to say."

Qiao Xi thought to herself, finally it’s here!
