Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 604: Picked Up the Woman Zhong Yi Fancied

Huo Sijiao’s gorgeous face assumed a chill as she tightly pursed her lips and approached.

She pushed open the door as if in a huff!

The words of her brother gave her confidence; she believed her sister-in-law was innocent.

As the door opened.

Many people peeked their heads in, and the sounds from inside the room became increasingly clear.

It was a woman’s voice!

There was also the sound of running water from the bathroom and a man’s speaking voice.

"They’re in the bathroom! It’s really a man with a woman!"

"President Huo was so certain, he’s going to be slapped in the face. They’re right there in the bathroom, probably too scared to come out."

Zhong Lingxiao’s eyes narrowed, his heart inflating with pride, but he said, "My brother is indeed thoughtless! I apologize to President Huo on his behalf, this evening’s incident must be a misunderstanding. If your wife..."

"Do you have X-ray vision?" Huo Xingzhou ridiculed coldly, "Standing at my door and you already know the man and woman inside must be Zhong Yi and Qiao Xi? Or are you saying all this is within your calculations, with the matter of the Zhong Family heir still up in the air."

Zhong Lingxiao gritted his teeth, revealing a genial smile: "The Zhong Family’s heir is decided by the old master. Whether it’s Zhong Yi or me makes no difference."

Huo Xingzhou scoffed coldly: "Only someone who gets an unfair advantage would make such sanctimonious remarks."

Zhong Lingxiao’s face turned a livid green as Huo Xingzhou’s words cornered him: "Since President Huo is so certain of his wife’s innocence, then let’s all enter the room and take a good look! It would also clear Young Madam Huo’s name!"

His people clearly saw Qiao Xi going up to the fifth floor.

And this was the only room on the fifth floor they hadn’t searched!

Yet, just as Zhong Lingxiao finished speaking, a gentle, puzzled female voice rose up from the end of the corridor.

"What are you all congregating here for?"

Qiao Xi was still dressed in that simple white gown, standing elegantly!

Even just a hint of makeup threatened to overshadow Lu Yingxue’s limelight.

Many people turned their heads to look back.

"It’s Young Madam Huo!"

"But if Qiao Xi is not inside, then who is in that room?"

What pair of daredevil mandarin ducks would flock to someone else’s room for thrills?

Qiao Xi slowly walked to Huo Xingzhou’s side, her eyes harboring a touch of chill as she hooked her arm around his.

Her fingers were still trembling slightly; if it hadn’t been for Guan Jingtan and Old Chen, she wouldn’t have been able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Huanghe River tonight.

"Are you okay?" Huo Xingzhou asked, looking down.

Qiao Xi shook her head.

Lu Yingxue felt a pang of regret in her heart, the person inside turned out not to be Qiao Xi. Since that was the case, catching someone in the act had no significance for her anymore.

So, she spoke up, "Please disperse everyone, it’s all been a misunderstanding. It might be that some guests couldn’t contain their feelings and mistook the room, causing such a commotion. Please move to the first-floor banquet hall."

She wanted to smooth things over, but Zhong Lingxiao wouldn’t have it!

As long as it was Zhong Yi inside that would suffice!

Zhong Yi was always cautious, never making a single mistake.

Zhong Lingxiao wanted him to lose face at his engagement party! To become the talk of the Imperial Capital!

"Wait, since it’s not Young Madam Huo inside. I will first apologize to the Huo Family, but our original intention was to find my brother. Since we have searched till here, why not see the truth for ourselves?"

Without waiting for any objections, he pointed to a lackey and ordered: "Go in and have a look, if it’s not Zhong Yi, don’t disturb the others."

"Yes, Young Master."

The lackey, of course, understood what he meant and walked in lightly on his feet.

It wasn’t long before the people outside the door heard an exclamation, "Young Master Zhong, how can you be here! How could you do this to Miss Lu?"

Upon hearing this, the guests thought.

Good heavens!

So, it was really Young Master Zhong with a woman inside, what explosive news!

No one knows who started it, but everyone began squeezing into the room, driven by sheer curiosity.

Lu Yingxue found herself in an awkward position and could only reluctantly walk in, coerced to partake in this absurd "adultery catching."

In the crowded room, the bathroom door was half-opened.

The shower was on, and the steamy vapors wafted out.

A petite woman huddled in the corner wrapping her body tightly with a large bath towel.

Her long hair was also wet and draped over her chest. She hung her head low, making her face unclear.

The scene was exceptionally enchanting.

Yet, the young man in the bath, with his noble and handsome features, leaned back with an air of composure. The water dampened his eyelashes, making his deep-set eyes appear more profound and mysterious.

His upper body was bare, his shirt tossed aside.

He wore dress pants that hung loosely around his waist.

The water in the bathtub just barely covered his chest, and he slightly frowned as he looked out at the numerous well-dressed guests.

Already stunningly handsome, his visage was even more captivating at this moment.

It was indeed Zhong Yi!

With a lazy tone, Zhong Yi rested his hands on the sides of the tub and said, "Why is everyone here?"

"Zhong Yi, today is your and Miss Lu’s engagement party. Why are you hiding here with another woman..." Zhong Lingxiao rebuked, "You really are..."

The guests whispered among themselves: "Who is that woman? Such a scandal from the Zhong Family could rival the rumors of Zhong Lingxiao’s infertility back in the day!"

"See who that woman is."

They craned their necks trying to get a clear view of the woman’s face, but Zhong Yi turned sideways and blocked their line of sight.

"Big brother."

Zhong Yi’s voice was slightly hoarse and carried a hint of laughter, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

"Enough with the accusations. You have enough women to play several tables of Mahjong with. If you’re free, check the hotel’s surveillance for me. After all, as a member of the Zhong Family, it is quite alarming to be drugged at my own engagement party!"

His words stirred up an uproar.

"He was drugged? Who was so bold?"

"It’s said that the Zhong Family will announce their next heir by the end of the year. Do you think it could be..." they glanced at Zhong Lingxiao, "someone else without a motive?"

"Nonsense, the eldest young master is magnanimous and forgiving. It could easily be some woman infatuated with Young Master Zhong who did it, do we even need to speak of Zhong Yi’s charm?"

"It could also be Zhong Yi lying, trying to cover up his own indiscretions."

Lu Yingxue panicked a little; she hadn’t expected Zhong Yi to so openly admit that he had been set up.

"Could it be... a mistake, Ayi?" Lu Yingxue was the one who added something to the Hangover Soup, but she did so stealthily, using the room’s incense in concert with aphrodisiac drugs, usually undetectable.

But it wasn’t completely foolproof.

Zhong Yi scoffed: "Are you suggesting I’ve sought pleasure at my own engagement party to embarrass you and ruin my reputation? I haven’t even touched you. Am I that desperate?"

"You..." Lu Yingxue bit her lip.

Zhong Yi’s gaze was indifferent: "I’ll leave it to my brother to investigate this matter. After the party, I’ll go to the hospital to test for any residual drugs. I will pursue this to the end!"

Zhong Yi looked at the crowd insolently: "Pardon my frankness, but everyone present is a suspect!"

Even caught in an apparent "affair," his expression remained unchanged, and he was all smiles and banter.

"Aren’t you all leaving? Or do you want to watch me getting dressed?" Zhong Yi’s long legs casually crossed, causing water to spill from the tub.

With that said, how could these people stay shamelessly?

The guests were dispersed by bodyguards, and Zhong Lingxiao left with a cold face. He needed to act quickly, to inform the family elder about Zhong Yi’s misconduct, pushing Zhong Yi further away from the position of heir!

After the chaos.

The room was left with only Zhong Yi and the petite figure in the corner of the bathroom, along with the original owners of the room, Mr. and Mrs. Huo Xingzhou.

And there was Lu Yingxue, her complexion looking terrible!

Lu Yingxue’s gaze fell on the corner of the bathroom.

She was indeed curious to see who this opportunistic woman was!
