The table was laden with an array of delectable dishes, a feast for the eyes, nose, and taste buds.
Everyone was enjoying the meal, except for Xu Mo, who couldn't understand what was so special about him that made Zhou Qiaoqiao willingly act as a sycophant to a spoiled rich kid.
Good grief! It was beyond comprehension.
Being a sycophant for no reason meant either treachery or theft!
Could she, like him, be influenced by some irresistible force?
Xu Mo cast a suspicious glance at Zhou Qiaoqiao beside him.
Zhou Qiaoqiao, sensing Xu Mo's gaze, smiled at him gently.
Xu Mo quickly averted his eyes and drew in a sharp breath.
Seeing the smile of this female devil was never a good sign!
The focus of a dinner party isn't on what's being eaten, but on what's being discussed while eating.
Zhou Qiaoqiao suddenly said, "Uncle Xu, I heard you have high blood pressure?"
Xu Fuqiang was taken aback for a moment, then as if remembering something, he smiled and said, "Yes, Xu Mo told you, right?"
[I didn't, I swear! Dad, what are you thinking?! How the hell did this female devil get such insider information?]
Xu Mo was utterly speechless.
Zhou Qiaoqiao didn't directly answer yes or no, but continued, "We have a highly skilled traditional Chinese doctor in the Zhou Family who has a unique and effective remedy for treating high blood pressure. Uncle Xu, if you don't mind, you could give it a try."
"Highly skilled?" Xu Fuqiang and Su Ting were momentarily confused.
Zhou Rongguang suddenly turned serious and scolded, "Qiaoqiao, don't speak nonsense!"
It wasn't that Zhou Rongguang didn't want to introduce the old doctor to Xu Fuqiang.
It was because the topic of medicine was too sensitive.
Especially for people of their status.
It was an extremely sensitive topic!
The initial intention might be good, but if something went wrong midway, it would cause big trouble!
Zhou Rongguang had the Zhou Family behind him. He could bear the consequences of his own mistakes, but when it came to the collective interests of the entire Zhou Family, he didn't dare to take risks.
Su Ting said, "Old Xu's high blood pressure has been a long-standing problem. We've consulted many renowned doctors both domestically and internationally, but none have been effective. I've never heard that the Zhou Family had such an accomplished person in medicine."
Faced with Su Ting's doubt, Zhou Qiaoqiao, ignoring Zhou Rongguang's attempt to stop her, explained with a smile, "Aunt Su, it's normal that you haven't heard of him. You see, our family's old Chinese doctor prefers a quiet life and generally only serves our Zhou Family members. He's well-known within our family but remains obscure outside."
Many families have their own dedicated doctors.
Some are hired from outside, while some are family members who have an interest in medicine and then pursue it as a career.
It's not uncommon.
Zhou Rongguang looked embarrassed and was about to scold his daughter.
Xu Fuqiang quickly intervened, jokingly saying, "My in-law, that's not fair! Qiaoqiao has good intentions. Don't tell me you want to see me go first?"
"No, no, of course not. I was just worried that it might not be effective for you," Zhou Rongguang said, breaking out in a cold sweat and looking extremely awkward.
Xu Fuqiang said, "Oh, come on... We won't know if it works until we try. This old problem of mine, it's all the same whatever medicine I take. What if it works?"
Zhou Rongguang understood that Xu Fuqiang was giving him a way out.
He quickly smiled apologetically.
[Damn! Is the world really this small?]
[Holy crap, wait, let me process this. I hope it's not what I think it is before everything is clarified]
After a brief moment of bewilderment, Xu Mo asked Zhou Qiaoqiao beside him.
"Is your family's old Chinese doctor surnamed Zhou? Called Zhou Guangxian?"
"Huh? How do you know?" Zhou Qiaoqiao was equally confused for a moment, then smiled.
Well... her question was unnecessary.
Because in the next instant, she could hear the answer she wanted directly from Xu Mo's inner thoughts!
[Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! It really is him!]
[Damn it! If I had known in my previous life that this old geezer was from the Zhou Family, I wouldn't have wasted three million in vain]
[Fuck! It's simply inhuman, even swindling money from relatives, too damn inhuman]
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 6666 in cash"
Xu Mo cursed inwardly while casually covering up, "It's nothing, I just heard it from someone else. After confirming it, I was planning to use some connections to ask the old ge... I mean, the old master to prescribe some medicine for my dad in a few days."
Xu Fuqiang was dumbfounded.
Su Ting was dumbfounded.
But the most dumbfounded of all was Zhou Qiaoqiao!
At this moment, she not only discovered that Xu Mo wasn't from this world, but he was also a reincarnator.
What interesting things happened in the previous life?
Why did Xu Mo come back for another life?
Everything was a mystery.
Zhou Qiaoqiao liked this little wolf dog, this young man, more and more.
From the information she heard in Xu Mo's inner thoughts,
In the previous life, she ended up in a miserable state, and both the Zhou Family and Xu Family were gone.
They became Lin Fan's wedding dress!
Zhou Qiaoqiao licked her crimson lips, her eyes revealing a hint of playfulness: Little wolf dog, sister will take care of you this life.
As for that so-called protagonist Lin Fan, you don't need to worry too much, I'll help you deal with her.
With your foreknowledge and my iron fist, I'll make sure Lin Fan pays back everything she owes you, with interest!
(The still unaware Xu Mo: I fucking thank you for that)
Su Ting smiled happily, "Old Xu, look how concerned our little Mo is about your health. You father and son are alike, sharp tongues but soft hearts."
Xu Fuqiang still maintained a stern face, saying discontentedly, "I don't need him meddling in my affairs. If he could just irritate me a bit less, I'd be thanking the heavens."
In fact, at this moment, old Xu was feeling quite elated inside.
For the first time, he felt that his son had grown up and learned to be considerate and care for his family.
[What the hell! What sin have I committed?!]
[How did Zhou Qiaoqiao gain favor with my parents again?]
[Heaven! If I've sinned, I hope you can punish me in other ways, let the protagonist Lin Fan slap my face, rather than torturing me with this sugar-coated bomb, this female devil]
Xu Mo was on the verge of breakdown.
He just hoped this dinner party would end quickly!
Xu Fuqiang and Su Ting's gazes towards Zhou Qiaoqiao grew increasingly tender.
Xu Mo chose to ignore it, lowering his head and focusing on being a dedicated eater.
He wanted to transform his grief and anger into appetite!
When you dislike someone, the more you look at them, the more you dislike them.
But when you like someone, the more you look at them, the more you like them.
Su Ting belonged to the latter category. The more she looked at Zhou Qiaoqiao, the more satisfied she felt.
So much so that she wanted to set aside the matter of Zhou Qiaoqiao selling Hongtu Real Estate that she had heard about in the afternoon.
What? You thought Su Ting couldn't get wind of it just because she was at the Xu Group Headquarters?
Don't be ridiculous.
However, due to the time constraint, this was all the information she could gather.
That is, Zhou Qiaoqiao didn't resell the hot property of Hongtu Real Estate to the Shen Family under Xu Mo's leadership.
Because this matter required Zhou Qiaoqiao to act swiftly and decisively, and it was also quite confidential.
Su Ting had done quite well to learn this much in such a short time.
"By the way, Aunt Su, I'd like to talk to you about the Hongtu Real Estate matter," Zhou Qiaoqiao said.
Clatter-----
The chopsticks in Xu Mo's hand slipped and fell to the ground.
Making a crisp sound.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
fe full of thrilling battles, ultimately sacrificing himself to protect his homeland and its people. Unexpectedly, he was reborn into his youth, where he encountered the campus ice queen, Ye Miyue, now working as a masseuse at his family's martial arts school. "How long have you been doing this?" "I-it's my first time..." the campus belle murmured, her head bowed. Wang Xian remembered clearly that back then, although Ye Miyue had not yet awakened her martial arts talent, her outstanding academic performance, breathtaking beauty, and icy demeanor had made her the moon goddess of every boy in school. He was no exception. In his previous life, they had no connection, never imagining they would meet under such circumstances. Sadly, today the city was attacked by an S-class beast, the 'Wind King Falcon,' destroying nearly half of the city streets. Ye Miyue had died on her way home during this disaster. Now, given a second chance, facing the campus goddess of his youth, Wang Xian resolutely decided to extend her session! And so. "My hands are tired..." the blushing campus belle whispered, relieved. Wang Xian pointed to her slender calves and said, "Who said only hands can massage? There are feet too!" "Extend the session, continue!"

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
