Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him

Chapter 799: Chapter 799: Never Forgive

Qiao Xi’s eyes were cold as she looked at her and said, "No."

What Traditional Chinese Medicine Association president, acquiring medicinal herbs wasn’t her objective. Those things, she didn’t care!

Lu Yingxue was somewhat broken, "Then what exactly do you want?"

Qiao Xi’s voice was filled with coldness, her heart full of suppressed hatred: "I want my grandmother to come back to life, can you do that?"

Lu Yingxue’s knees ached, her eyes red and her voice hoarse: "How can the dead possibly come back to life! Besides, it was Xiang Huai who did it, he’s already confessed! I only casually hinted at it! And that old lady’s life was already at its end, why can’t you let it go?"

Yes. noveldrama

The dead cannot come back to life.

So.

Qiao Xi looked deeply at her and said, "What do you think I came to the Imperial Capital for? The name of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association president? Or to make my name known in the Imperial Capital? Or maybe to plot for power and status? None of these, I only want justice for my grandmother."

"Lu Yingxue, even if you offer all the Lu Family’s wealth, I will never let you go!"

What she always remembered was her grandmother’s death.

All the wealth and power cannot bring her grandmother back.

"She’s dead! Qiao Xi, why are you so stubborn? Once a person dies, there’s nothing left, you have to think it over!" Lu Yingxue’s emotions were somewhat collapsing, "What good does it do for you to destroy me!"

Qiao Xi coldly asked, "Do you calculate benefits for everything you do? Isn’t there anyone who acts for justice?"

"Justice?"

Lu Yingxue’s eyes were red yet she laughed loudly, "Everything in the world is for profit! Isn’t it too naive for you to talk about justice with me? I grew up with no one teaching me about justice, only survival of the fittest. Qiao Xi, I’m asking one last time about those terms, do you refuse them all?"

"I refuse."

Qiao Xi rejected her quickly.

She didn’t care for it at all.

Lu Yingxue rubbed her sore knees and stood up, her face displaying undisguised malice: "That old woman deserved to die! She died in your place; if you had died, she wouldn’t have suffered. Blame yourself! Blame your master Cheng Han! You want to destroy me based on a scandal, it’s not so easy!"

There’s still room for this!

She can still clear her name! Even if the evidence is conclusive!

After saying this, Lu Yingxue hurriedly walked out of the Zhong Family’s living room.

Sun Weimeng looked at her back with a sneer: "Why is she so arrogant? As long as we post those photos and videos of her and Zhong Lingxiao online, her reputation will be ruined."

"Perhaps she has some cards up her sleeve."

Qiao Xi frowned and said, "Although the Lu Family squeezed into the four major families with their reputation, they’ve been operating for many years and surely have some hidden cards we haven’t discovered. We must not be too careless."

"Don’t worry about those, leave them to us." Huo Xingzhou gently patted her shoulder to comfort her, "Today’s affair was very successful, but there’s still a huge mess to deal with afterwards. Young Master Zhong, now that the Zhong Family has expelled you, what do you plan to do?"

Zhong Yi chuckled: "Then let’s strike while the iron’s hot!"

Qiao Xi softly reminded: "That grand old gentleman cannot really die, otherwise you’ll be criticized in the Imperial Capital in the future."

That old gentleman had stood firm in the Imperial Capital for many years and had many admirers. If he just died like that, it would inevitably create a sense of empathy. The discontent from those elders towards Zhong Yi might not be expressed openly, but they might secretly become adversaries.

There will be a lot of troubles in the future.

Zhong Yi looked at Qiao Xi with a much gentler gaze: "I meant that the chaos in the Zhong Family is perfect for muddying the waters. Now what Zhong Lingxiao and his son most want is to expel me and let the grand old gentleman die. That way, the Zhong Family would fall into their hands."

They are the ones most hoping for the old gentleman to die.

Zhong Yi wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get his hands on what he should, so that he would have bargaining chips.

"Then we must find a way to keep the grand old gentleman alive."

Qiao Xi looked at him and said, "If you need any help from me, just ask. I can’t do much else, but I can heal and save lives."

"Mm."

Huo Xingzhou was watching on the side, feeling a bit jealous.

A sour feeling in his heart.

Over there, the people from Wan Jiang had already packed up all Zhong Yi’s belongings and moved them to the car.

Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi had no reason to stay, so they left together.

But the Zhong Family’s ancestral hall was still bustling, with those scattered guests discussing today’s scandal and waiting for the Zhong Family to give an explanation.

But after waiting for a long time, not a single person from the Zhong Family in charge showed up, and many people left on their own.

They left with rather unpleasant expressions.

Especially Pei Zheng.

With a grim face, he got into the car and left the Zhong Family.

Inside the car, Pei Qian didn’t even dare to breathe. He sneakily glanced at his elder brother several times, finally mustering the courage to say, "Brother, are you very angry?"

Pei Zheng glanced at him, a noticeable irritation in his eyes: "Do you even need to ask?"

"Then what should we do? The Zhong Family seems to be in chaos."

Pei Zheng sneered, "Originally thought Zhong Lingxiao was a smart person, but who knew that such great wealth would also lead him astray. The grand old gentleman indeed has an interesting idea to hand the Zhong Family over to him, but he is too disappointing."

That child turned out to not be his biological son.

Once the grand old gentleman fainted, he rushed to expel Zhong Yi from the Zhong Family, exposing his ambition.

Pei Qian cautiously said, "So, does this mean Zhong Lingxiao is useless?"

"No, very useful."

Pei Zheng, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, had a dark mind. After all, he was able to do ruthless things.

"How to use him then?"

"Zhong Yi is a very interesting person, he will definitely retaliate. The internal strife in the Zhong Family is precisely when our Pei Family can benefit from fishing in troubled waters. This time, I won’t help anyone. Perhaps after the internal strife, our Pei Family can even overshadow the Zhong Family."

Pei Zheng’s strategy was good.

The chaos in the Zhong Family was the perfect time for the Pei Family to rise.

Zhong Lingxiao should be used well, and kicked away at the last moment.

Pei Qian flattered, "Brother, you are really amazing. If our Pei Family didn’t have you, we’d be lost."

Pei Zheng glanced at him, "Don’t think that praising me will thaw your bank card. You’d better settle the marriage with the Feng Family soon, I heard they’ve opened overseas sales channels, doing quite well in recent years. If our Pei Family’s domestic transportation channels combine with theirs, we’ll be able to control half of the domestic transportation volume."

The Pei Family was in the transportation business.

They controlled many ports nationwide, and their land and air transportation were very developed. Involved in various industries, it was truly vital!

"Ah, I really don’t want to marry that girl Feng Nanxi. I’ve been laughed at constantly these days."

Pei Qian was genuinely reluctant, but recently he had no money in his account.

"This matter is non-negotiable."

Pei Zheng’s tone was very firm.

He inadvertently caught sight of two somewhat familiar figures outside the car window and hesitated for a moment.

He calmly instructed, "Pull the car over to the side."
