Chapter 808: Chapter 808 I Do Not Regret
Zhong Yi slowly walked over.
Beside him were Wan Jiang and several black-clad bodyguards, all on high alert, quite a spectacle.
Zhong Hongfei suddenly beca nervous.
His emotions were all on display, and he said disdainfully, “What are you doing here? You, rebellious son, nearly drove the old master to his death, and you still have the face to co to the hospital?”
Zhong Yi approached without even giving him a proper glance.
“Rebellious son, did you even hear what I said?”
Zhong Hongfei was furiously impotent, while Zhong Yi’s lips twitched with contempt.
This only provoked Zhong Hongfei further, who charged forward to hit soone, but was stopped by Wan Jiang.
“You, a re servant, dare to lay hands on ? Let go, it’s my right to discipline my son.”
Zhong Yi let out a light scoff, “When you’re disciplining , you call your son. But when there’s sothing good, why don’t you acknowledge as your son? Your double standards are truly ugly. This is not a place for you to speak, step aside.”
“You… today I will expel you from the Zhong Family on behalf of the old master!”
“Your words don’t count; otherwise, the old master wouldn’t be choosing an heir between the two younger generations. You’re just a useless drunkard, don’t add to the chaos here,” Zhong Yi spoke harshly, making Zhong Hongfei nearly explode with anger.
Zhong Lingxiao pulled Zhong Hongfei aside and said, “Father, sit down and rest for a while.”
This level of fighting strength is really not worth seeing.
“You… rebellious son, just wait! I will imdiately cut off our father-son relationship, and you will no longer be part of the Zhong Family.”
Zhong Yi lifted his chin slightly, smiling even more.
Zhong Lingxiao’s face turned cold as he said, “What are you doing here?”
“Ca to see the old master.”
“You’ve angered him to this point, and you still have the face to co?”
Zhong Yi laughed and said, “What did you just say? Who angered him? Wasn’t it you? Your face is really thick.”
Zhong Lingxiao remained indifferent, “If you hadn’t caused so much trouble in the ancestral hall, how would the old master have fallen ill? The old master only acknowledges as the Zhong Family heir.”
“That’s on the premise that you have legitimate offspring, but now… what do you have? If you don’t mind raising soone else’s child, that’s fine too.”
“Zhong Yi! Lin Xifei was planted by you at my side! You planned everything in Haicheng?”
Zhong Yi countered, “Is it only you who can send people to kill ? I’m really afraid soone might be so insane as to even harm the old master!” He waved, and all the bodyguards behind him advanced, standing like stakes at the ward door.
“Zhong Yi, what do you an?”
“I’m afraid you’ll harm the old master, it’s a precaution. You’re welco to station people here too, maybe I also have such intentions, we can monitor each other.”
Zhong Yi was well aware that he had to be wary.
Otherwise, if the old master died, Zhong Lingxiao would get a free ride. Plus, he wanted the old master to admit that he had chosen the wrong person while alive. People with affection and loyalty have weaknesses, but those without are even scarier.
Zhong Lingxiao gritted his teeth as he watched him.
No wonder he has been his rival for years, coming in so tily, as if he had already predicted the next move. But it doesn’t matter; he’s prepared the piece of Lu Yingxue.
The Lu Family’s dical skills won’t reveal even the slightest flaw.
He spoke up imdiately, “Zhong Yi, you think others are as dirty-minded as you. Rest assured, I will invite a famous doctor to treat the old master. As for the outco, don’t shift the bla onto . The doctor’s diagnosis report is out; the old master, being old, has suffered from heartache, and the situation is bad, it could turn dangerous anyti.”
Zhong Yi scoffed, “Are you explaining so much to because you’re guilty? I’m just having people watch, no need to be so on edge.”
Zhong Lingxiao snorted coldly, “Where is that woman, Lin Xifei?”
The incident occurred suddenly; he didn’t attend to it at the ti.
But when he wanted to settle the scores later, she had vanished, not a trace to be found. Zhong Lingxiao, being petty, wouldn’t let go of a woman who green-capped him, right?
“I sent her abroad, she’s flown off hand in hand with her beloved bodyguard, Ayao.”
“You…”
Zhong Yi looked at him calmly, “I’m just facilitating their love. I have other matters; my brother, please take your leave. By the way, I heard you all are going to expel from the Zhong Family; better announce it quickly. Lest the old master wakes up and changes his mind.”
Having said this, he left with Wan Jiang.
Zhong Hongfei couldn’t help but roar once Zhong Yi left, “I will imdiately publicly announce cutting father-son ties with him, let this illegitimate child roll back to the countryside.”
Zhong Lingxiao did not stop him either.
Let him be.
In any case, Zhong Hongfei has always been unreliable.
But for things like cutting ties, outsiders might only trust the old master’s word.
If the old master dies, then he can handle it.
…
By late afternoon, the heavy rain outside had already stopped.
The air carried a damp scent when Qiao Xi awoke, and the room was dim, with no lights on. As night fell, the streetlights outside let in a faint glow, making the room feel even cozier.
A silhouette was elongated.
Huo Xingzhou was still inside the room handling work, speaking quietly into his phone. His voice was low, making it sound deeper and more magnetic.
Qiao Xi, her consciousness slowly gathering, looked at him without a word.
She didn’t disturb him.
Having slept the entire afternoon, she felt sore and weak, but that inner fatigue seed to have vanished, turning entirely into a lazy comfort.
She unconsciously touched her flat abdon, feeling quite unreal about still carrying two children.
Huo Xingzhou turned and saw her action, quickly finishing his call.
“Awake?”
He approached and poured her a cup of warm water from a thermos, handing it to her.
After Qiao Xi took a few sips, she asked, “Who were you talking to last on the phone? It didn’t sound like company business.”
“The online storm is brewing quickly.”
Huo Xingzhou searched for a term and handed his phone to her.
Qiao Xi browsed and discovered that the fervent netizens who once supported Lu Yingxue had completely turned against her.
They had pressured the Traditional Chinese dicine Hall to suspend business, even going to the Traditional Chinese dicine Association to make a fuss.
The scene was quite grand.
The entrance of the Traditional Chinese dicine Association had been vandalized, filthy, with so people even splashing paint.
This incident had ultimately affected the entire association.
Seeing the red paint on the association’s plaque, Qiao Xi felt it was ironic.
She took a deep breath and said, “I did anticipate Lu Yingxue’s incident would affect the whole industry, but I went ahead and did it anyway. I wonder if I made a mistake in this matter.”
“Do you regret it?”
Qiao Xi looked up at him, her eyes firm, “I don’t regret it.”
No regrets for using this thod to retaliate against Lu Yingxue.
Huo Xingzhou sat on the edge of the bed, speaking softly, “The Traditional Chinese dicine Association has been controlled by Lu Bannong for over twenty years, rotten to its core. This incident serves as a wake-up call, to hold such a position requires not just seeking fa and gain, but also moral integrity.”
The Chinese dicine Community has long needed to cleanse its doors thoroughly!
Qiao Xi slowly leaned against his shoulder, closed her eyes, agreeing with his view.
Huo Xingzhou squeezed her fingers and said, “There’s sothing you need to prepare for in advance.”
