Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 676: Her face is saved now
Chapter 676: Chapter 676: Her face is saved now
"Someone has fainted!"
"It’s Qiao Xi!"
"Everybody move aside quickly, don’t interfere with our young master taking the young madam away. If anything happens, we’ll hold you accountable!" Old Chen shouted loudly, pushing the crowd apart while other bodyguards paved the way in front.
Soon, Huo Xingzhou carried the unconscious Qiao Xi into the car.
Huo Sijiao hurriedly ran over, but was grabbed by the red-eyed Sun Weimeng: "Huo Sijiao, why are you running so fast?"
"I want to see my sister-in-law!"
"There are so many people, don’t add to the chaos. These reporters are like flies, squeezing through any gap they find." Sun Weimeng knew the inside story; Cheng Han was not actually dead.
He was the only outsider who knew this.
Even Huo Sijiao was kept in the dark.
"But..."
Just as Huo Sijiao was about to speak, the annoying media reporters surrounded them, eager to dig up some gossip from these two insiders.
"Miss Huo, do you know how Cheng Han died? Did he really fall off a cliff by accident as rumored?"
"Miss Huo, how was your sister-in-law Qiao Xi’s relationship with Cheng Han? How did the master and apprentice interact normally?"
"Just now at the memorial hall, did Qiao Xi really have a dispute with President Lu?"
"Is it true that the popular Jade Skin Ointment has miraculous effects? Is the formula really belonging to your sister-in-law or Mr. Cheng? Is your sister-in-law accused of usurping Mr. Cheng’s formula?"
Huo Sijiao, already furious, heard such slanderous rumors about her sister-in-law.
Her beautiful face was full of anger, her brows tightly knitted as she cursed, "Are you all blind? My sister-in-law was so grief-stricken she fainted, yet you’re here spreading baseless rumors that she had a bad relationship with Mr. Cheng and stole the Jade Skin Ointment formula! If you’re sick, go get cured; if not, don’t flaunt your ignorance."
"Are you belittling my sister-in-law, or looking down on Mr. Cheng’s judgment in choosing an apprentice?"
"Besides, my sister-in-law has a great temper. If she ever argued with someone, it must be the other person’s fault! You dare not question that person, but keep asking us endlessly! How could you have heard what happened inside the memorial hall?"
"Are you brainwashed by others and still gleeful, thinking you’ve obtained exclusive news! Go find whoever spread the rumor!"
Having said this much, she didn’t even take a breath.
The journalists, proud of their eloquence, were now red-faced and speechless.
The eloquence of this Huo Family eldest young lady is truly remarkable!
"Hey, can you step aside now? How long do you plan to block the way?"
With a distasteful face, Huo Sijiao coldly said.
The crowd unconsciously retreated a few steps, even without the bodyguards.
Sun Weimeng followed behind her, amazed, "Huo Sijiao, you’re truly something! With eloquence like this, which man would dare to marry you in the future!"
"Humph, then I just won’t get married!"
Huo Sijiao got into the sports car, and Sun Weimeng quickly sat in the passenger seat.
He said, "You have no thoughts about Shen Xuanzhi anymore?"
Huo Sijiao glared at him coldly: "Mention that name again and I’ll cut your tongue out."
"Don’t be so fierce, what did he ever do to you? Last night I felt like you were filled with anger." Sun Weimeng was a gossip.
Huo Sijiao rolled her eyes, "He wanted me to wait for his divorce."
"Such audacity! How could Shen Xuanzhi be such a person?"
Huo Sijiao slowly exhaled a breath of air, "Now that I’ve vented, I’m much calmer. Surprisingly, I can somewhat understand Shen Xuanzhi. He didn’t accept me initially because he has a conscience. He didn’t want to use me for revenge..."
She stepped on the gas, driving the car away.
"Huo Sijiao, you won’t reconsider him, will you?"
Huo Sijiao chuckled, "Am I that kind of person? I can leave things behind and move on. He got married, and I’ll never bother him again. I am so beautiful and rich; finding someone better than Shen Xuanzhi is a piece of cake, right? If I’m happy, I could find two or three."
Her eyes looked straight ahead, her fair fingers resting on the steering wheel.
Shen Xuanzhi had become the past!
The car sped onto the ring road highway, heading towards the Huo Family Garden Villa.
...
The media outside quickly caught onto the trending news.
Today, the news and gossip in the entertainment circle were outshined by the death of National Doctor Cheng Han; the hot search exploded!
And the news of Qiao Xi fainting at the funeral home also spread.
Further proving that this was no joke!
The old gentleman who once saved many lives had indeed passed away.
Hot headlines were all related to the news, some people made commemorative videos from the last remaining video albums of Cheng Han’s life, and ordinary people went in waves to the funeral home to pay tribute but were stopped outside to maintain order.
Those people placed a bouquet of fresh flowers at the main entrance of the funeral home, solemnly mourning.
The scene was touching.
Meanwhile, in the returning car, Lu Family father and daughter looked at the news on their phones with a secretive smile at the corners of their mouths.
"Qiao Xi fainted from crying? Serves her right." Lu Yingxue put the phone aside, "Father, we no longer have any threats. Besides our Lu Family, few people know about the matters of the past. Cheng Han values his reputation, so he wouldn’t confide to people."
Lu Bannong acknowledged: "From now on, we can sleep well."
No more waking up at night fearing Cheng Han’s comeback for revenge.
He dared to release the news that Cheng Qingnian was still alive after twenty years, banking on the fact that at present, Cheng Han was no longer a threat.
"So..."
Lu Yingxue looked at him, sensing his good mood.
This emboldened her to voice her thoughts, "Qiao Xi wants to use the Jade Skin Ointment to exchange for Cheng Qingnian, claiming she wants to study narcolepsy and achieve breakthroughs on this matter. I’ve confirmed that the Jade Skin Ointment is indeed effective for my wounds. Can we..."
A woman who fell asleep for various reasons becomes erratic and silly, which wouldn’t pose a threat, right?
Lu Bannong’s eyes deepened, falling into contemplation.
Lu Yingxue pleaded, "Father, I can’t live with this face all my life, right? Now Zhong Yi won’t even glance at me properly, he and Ye Ying are making eyes at each other at home. I..."
This was truly a bad move with the Zhong Family.
Lu Bannong’s face was stern, hesitating for quite a while before saying: "Alright, but the exchange has a time limit. She can have Cheng Qingnian for treatment at her side, but only for a month. If she agrees, then it doesn’t matter. After all, we only obtained the Jade Skin Ointment, not the formula!"
If possible, he wanted to get the formula to sell himself!
Lu Yingxue looked delighted, "Thank you, father!"
She believed Qiao Xi would surely agree to this condition!
A month is already quite a long period!
She touched her face, feeling hopeful!
As for the consequences afterward, that would be considered once all the scars were removed.
