“Shui Anluo, do you know when I first heard about you?” Lan Xin asked softly. “It was three years ago. Your name was on his blog. He seemed to talk about you every day. Three years, that’s more than a thousand days and nights. He still loved you even when you were married. When you got divorced, he had been so excited. How enviable, a woman who’s been divorced… Yet he had not disapproved at all.”
Those words slid smoothly from An Fengyang’s phone until the final gloomy end.
1“Are you still going to deny it?” An Fengyang smiled icily as he held his phone and stared at her.
However, Lan Xin burst into laughter and spoke in an increasingly innocent voice, “While I do hate her, I never said that I’d kill her. Isn’t it true that the pain would stop after injecting painkillers?” She said as she swept her eyes across everyone, finally stopping on Shui Anluo. “What? Do you think I want to hurt you?”
Shui Anluo was enraged but could not retaliate.
Chu Ningyi placed his hand on her shoulder and patted it. He then hinted to Uncle Chu to take the broken medicine bottle away from her.
“I believe that we’ll soon find out whether it’s painkiller medication or not.”
“Naturally, if you want to hurt me, you’ll have many ways to do so.” Lan Xin kept her spirits and spoke with disdain.
“Don’t worry, I’ll get Director Qiao to carry out this investigation. I believe that she won’t try to harm you,” Chu Ningyi said coldly and sent Uncle Chu to hand the item over to Qiao Huihe. Soon, she would announce the results herself.
Lan Xin shrugged and was not cowed at all.
Shui Anluo felt very unsettled by how steady she was.
“Lan Xin, do you really think that struggling is of any use now that it’s come to this?” Chu Ningyi helped Shui Anluo to sit down by the bed before he looked straight at her.
“What am I struggling over?” Lan Xin shrugged her shoulders innocently. She had indeed brought painkiller medication to defend against Chu Ningyi. Furthermore, she knew that they have begun to suspect her. This confirms it.
She was under suspicion so she would have to think of other ways from now on.
“Lan Xin, you’re smarter than I thought. When you had pushed Luoluo into that landslide, do you know why you’d been able to push the blame onto Lin Qianchen so easily?” Aside from a chilliness., Chu Ningyi’s voice carried an obvious tone of disdain.
“What’re you saying? Are you going to push the blame on me no matter what?” Lan Xin continued to deny it.
Shui Anluo bit her lips. Her hand became very sweaty in Chu Ningyi’s hand.
“You know better than I whether it’s true or not. Lan Xin, did you feel happy when you had eavesdropped on my conversation with Qiao Yaruan and heard that I was still alive? You had changed your plans midway and made Lin Qianchen your scapegoat… Do you think you’d be able to do that if I’ve never thought of it?” Shui Anluo said every word very clearly.
Qiao Yaruan stood at the doorway and heard everything. She then repeated, “Eavesdropped on a conversation?”
She had spoken steadily, just enough for her words to drum into Shui Anluo’s ears.
Shui Anluo quivered. Sh*t, she forgot that the Empress Dowager was here too.
This time… She was finished!
Qiao Yaruan was extremely smart and she figured it all out after giving it some thought. Shui Anluo had made that call to her on purpose and her objective was to allow Lan Xin to overhear it!
Qiao Yaruan scoffed and stared at Shui Anluo icily: “Girl, when Scheming Shui comes online, I’ll get pulled into the trap as well?”
Scheming Shui trembled: “Empress Dowager, give this humble one a chance to explain, okay?”
Shui Anluo spoke with her eyes as she put her palms together, pleading carefully.
Hmph…
Qiao Yaruan sassily ignored her pitiful gaze.
