Chapter 591: Chapter 589: What did you co to see for today?

Xia Wenjin naturally had heard about the incident at the charity banquet.

When she was still with the Xia Family, she had t Liu Xiaozhen.

At that ti, Xia Wenqing was still attending university, and because of the previous campus bullying incident, she had to seek Xia Wenqing’s help and had seen Liu Xiaozhen then.

She rembered that woman, whose eyes and brows were full of calculations; she was clearly not soone Xia Wenqing would like.

Xia Wenjin had not expected Liu Xiaozhen to pursue Xia Wenqing all the way to their ho country.

She had thought that Liu Xiaozhen had already won Xia Wenqing over abroad.

Unexpectedly, after all this ti, Liu Xiaozhen’s efforts had still co to naught.

Xia Wenjin narrowed her eyes and looked outside through the coffee shop’s window.

White snow lay on the ground, forming an endless expanse of white.

She picked up her coffee and took another sip, then watched from a distance as a woman wrapped in a coat walked by.

On snowy days, there were not many people outside.

The coffee shop had only a few scattered patrons.

“What do you want with today?” Hao Jiayi had been relying on her injured foot as an excuse to stay in the hospital these past few days.

Although it was a bit boring, the absence of Xiao Mo’s harassnt was a welco respite.

Xia Wenjin gave a light chuckle, “I’m here, of course, about our previous deal. You’ve already received the money, you’re not having second thoughts, are you?”

Hao Jiayi’s face changed slightly, “Why would I? It’s just that my leg has been inconvenient lately…”

“Your leg healed a long ti ago, and you know the exact condition better than I do, don’t you?” Xia Wenjin looked at Hao Jiayi with a smile that did not reach her eyes.

Left with no excuses, Hao Jiayi simply hung her head in silence.

Xia Wenjin was not annoyed, “I know very well what you’re thinking, and don’t forget, from the mont you asked for that money, you and I were tied to the sa string. You can’t escape now, so it’s better to cooperate.”

After a mont of silence, Hao Jiayi could only nod, “Alright, tell , what do you need to do?”

Just as Xia Wenjin was about to speak, Hao Jiayi quickly added, “Let make it clear in advance that if you want to steal confidential materials from Xiao Mo’s office or anything of the like, I’m afraid I can’t help you. That man doesn’t trust at all, he wouldn’t leave such important things within my reach.”

Hao Jiayi said this partly to dissuade Xia Wenjin from asking her to steal company secrets. After all, if Xiao Mo found out, she would be dead, not to ntion that such an act was illegal and would result in imprisonnt.

Even if she was foolish, she wouldn’t do such a thing for money.

Xia Wenjin raised an eyebrow, “I’m not that bored.”

The position Xiao Mo held as a departnt manager ant he did not oversee many major projects.

Even if she had Hao Jiayi take his docunts, it would not cause Xiao Mo much damage, so there was no need for her to take risks over such trivial matters.

Hearing Xia Wenjin say this, Hao Jiayi secretly sighed in relief.

“I need you to leak Xiao Jinglan’s whereabouts to ,” Xia Wenjin said with eyes narrowing like a fox, “That shouldn’t be too stressful for you, right?”

Hao Jiayi was slightly stunned, looking at Xia Wenjin with so confusion.

Wasn’t this woman out to get revenge on Xiao Mo?

Why did she want the whereabouts of Xiao Jinglan?

It seed as if Xia Wenjin caught the confusion in her eyes and, propping her chin with her hand, she nonchalantly said, “Just because Xiao Mo is my enemy doesn’t an I’ll let Xiao Jinglan off.”

Back then, it was both Xiao Mo and Xiao Jinglan who had tricked her into going abroad.

Had it not been for her destiny to survive, she might have died abroad.

After her disappearance, that fellow Xiao Mo even spread rumors about her. She would not let either of these two scumbags off the hook!

Hao Jiayi didn’t understand where Xia Wenjin’s hostility towards Xiao Jinglan ca from, but as long as it didn’t co to a direct confrontation with Xiao Mo, she didn’t see it as much of an issue.

After all, the boss was the one paying, and what she said went.

“Also, take this, and when you get back, put it into Xiao Mo’s tonic,” Xia Wenjin’s fingertips lightly tapped a transparent bottle.

“Inside is a slow-acting poison that won’t be detected.”

Hao Jiayi looked at the bottle in her hands with a heavy gaze, “I won’t do this sort of poisoning. It’s illegal, don’t you know that?”

Xia Wenjin scoffed, “When you were conning other n, why didn’t you say it was illegal?”

“…”

Hao Jiayi’s complexion instantly turned both green and pale. She hadn’t expected Xia Wenjin to have thoroughly investigated her background.

She clenched her fists but ultimately still grabbed the bottle of poison.

“Don’t worry, this is slow-acting poison. If you don’t trust it, you can try it yourself—a dose or two, it won’t have any effect,” Xia Wenjin smiled at Hao Jiayi, “If you are capable, it’s best to get so proof of your relationship with Xiao Mo. That way, when he dies, the Xiao Family’s inheritance will be all yours.”

She casually dropped this reminder, causing Hao Jiayi’s previously resistant expression to fade significantly.

Hao Jiayi had been set on leaving Xiao Mo, never considering marrying him—after all, the man’s tastes were just too perverse.

Being tornted by him to the brink of death every day, how could she possibly think about inheritance?

But Xia Wenjin’s words opened a new perspective for her.

Hao Jiayi hesitated for a mont before raising her eyes to Xia Wenjin, “If he really dies, won’t this dicine be detected?”

Xia Wenjin’s fingertips lightly twirled a strand of hair near her ear, “You can wait and see how things unfold after Xia Jinglan is dead…”

“!!!”

Her statent instantly made Hao Jiayi realize sothing.

So Xiao Jinglan was currently taking this poison?

She had always thought Xiao Jinglan looked a bit feeble because she was unwell.

It turned out she had been poisoned!

Considering Xiao Jinglan’s usual arrogantly nonchalant deanor, she probably didn’t even know, did she?

Hao Jiayi’s hesitant gaze turned to Xia Wenjin, wanting to ask but not knowing where to start.

Xia Wenjin was still leisurely twirling her hair, speaking indifferently, “You don’t need to doubt it, I am the one who poisoned Xiao Jinglan. As for how I knew about the poison, I have to thank Ms. Xiao Jinglan for her ticulous preparation of my food.”

Hao Jiayi wasn’t a fool; how could she not understand the implication behind Xia Wenjin’s words?

She had never considered that Xia Wenjin and Xiao Jinglan had any interaction.

But then again, if the two had no history, how could Xia Wenjin harbor such hatred toward Xiao Jinglan and Xiao Mo?

Thinking this, Hao Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the poison couldn’t be detected anyti soon, that was all that mattered.

Once she married Xiao Mo, she could increase the dosage, and then… all the Xiao Family’s wealth would be hers alone.

Hao Jiayi’s mood improved considerably, and she looked at Xia Wenjin with much more warmth.
