“Get me some of that dish!”
Not only did Beiming Han not invite her to sit and eat with him, but he also ordered her to pick up a dish that was farther away.
Gu Qingxin’s stomach rumbled again. She frowned in frustration, accepting her fate and serving him accordingly.
“You first help me test for poison!” Beiming Han gestured with his perfect chin.
“Test for poison? Could someone have poisoned this food?” Gu Qingxin looked at him in surprise, her face full of disbelief.
“Do you know how my eldest brother died?” Beiming Han’s pair of black eyes casually stared at her. Before Xiao Ya could react, he kindly explained, “He just took a sip of soup, and his life was gone.”
Gu Qingxin took a cold breath, the eldest son of the Beiming Family was actually poisoned by a bowl of soup!
“Test it.” Beiming Han lazily leaned back in his chair and watched her leisurely.
“Master, shouldn’t we use a silver needle to test it?” Gu Qingxin really wanted to splash the dish in his face. How dare he make her test for poison, that’s despicable!
She didn’t want to become his scapegoat!
“Do you think this is ancient times? Test it! You know i don’t like to waste my words!” Beiming Han banged on the table forcefully.
She could only pick up that piece of food, put it in her mouth, chewed it absently and swallowed…
“No! Poison!” Gu Qingxin almost said this teeth-grittingly.
“Continue, test each dish one by one.”
Gu Qingxin hesitated to look at the man who sat in the main seat. She started to doubt, did he really want her to test for poison?
Beiming Han stared at her expressionlessly. When their eyes met, he just impatiently tilted his chin, actuating her to move much quicker.
Gu Qingxin picked up the chopsticks, and tasted a bit of every dish…
There were twenty dishes on the table in total, so even though Xiao Ya only took a bite from each dish, she was pretty full after one round.
“Master, all dishes have been tested, there’s no poison!”
“Serve me.” Beiming Han picked up his chopsticks, and Gu Qingxin began to serve him food.
After lunch, Beiming Han let Gu Qingxin go back to her room, and he himself left North Garden in a car.
After returning to her bedroom, Gu Qingxin felt as weak as she could be, so she layed on the bed and didn’t want to move at all.
There was a knock on the door, Gu Qingxin hurriedly sat up, Bai Jingqing walked in with a medical kit.
“Doctor Bai.” Gu Qingxin was happy to see him and immediately stood up.
“Lie down, I’m here to give you an IV.” Bai Jingqing walked to the bedside and began to prepare.
“Doctor Bai, have you seen my mother?” Gu Qingxin was now anxious about her mother in the hospital.
“I have, 1 told her what you said.” Bai Jingqing signalled her to stretch out her hand.
Gu Qingxin stretched out her hand, and Bai Jingqing very efficiently inserted the needle for her and adjusted the speed of the IV fluid.
“Thank you so much, Doctor Bai.” Gu Qingxin finally relaxed. As long as her mother was fine, she had no worries.
After Bai Jingqing had administered the IV for Gu Qingxin, he left. Aunt Zhou wasn’t at North Garden, so no one was looking after her. Gu Qingxin could only watch the IV by herself.
But she was so tired, after lying there for a little while she fell asleep…
She didn’t even know when the needle was removed from her hand. When she woke up, it was already dark. She opened her eyes and saw a tall figure standing by the window….
