Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Chapter 225: Chapter 225 When I rushed to room 1008 at the Grand Haitian Hotel at my fastest speed, I kicked the door open without hesitation.
Upon opening the door, I saw Wang Xiru slumped at the edge of the bed.
At that mont, her face was flush with a rapid breath, and her eyes were filled with a desperate longing.
She had obviously been drugged.
Bastard!
“Little Tian, it was… Liu Chao had asked to negotiate a deal on his behalf, but… how could I be like this now? I… I just drank a bottle of wine that Liu Chao had given to bring.”
“Really, I didn’t drink much, just a small sip.”
Wang Xiru choked up as she spoke, still unaware of what had actually happened.
“Sister Xinru, you’ve been drugged,” I said sternly.
“Drugged?”
Wang Xiru was initially stunned but quickly understood what I ant; she shook her head vehently, “No, it’s impossible, Liu Chao isn’t that kind of person, he wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“I don’t believe it… I don’t believe it!!!”
Watching Wang Xiru becoming increasingly hysterical, my heart was torn. I embraced her tightly, whispering comfortingly, “It’s okay, it has passed, it has passed…”
Thinking back, it’s really frightening. If Wang Xiru hadn’t used her fading consciousness to call , it’s really hard to imagine what could have happened today.
“Whimper, Little Tian, I’m scared…”
She curled up in my arms, shivering.
“It’s okay, I’m here, no one can hurt you.”
I kissed her forehead gently, then carried her onto the bed.
Her condition was complicated now; once that kind of drug was ingested, other than waiting for its effects to wear off, there was really no better solution.
Just as I was checking Wang Xiru’s pulse, the door suddenly opened, and a man in his thirties ca in.
When he saw , he was startled at first, then pointed at and yelled, “Who the hell are you? How are you in my room?”
“Don’t think I don’t know about your petty sches with Liu Chao. I’ve already called the police. If you don’t want trouble, it’s best not to ss around,” I said coldly.
“Damn!”
“Liu Chao, that bastard, playing like this, wait till I get him,” the man cursed and then turned and left.
However, what I least expected was that as soon as that man left, Liu Chao arrived.
At that mont, his arm was in a cast, and he seed very rushed.
“Xu Tian? Who let you in? Get out, get out; this is a matter between husband and wife, it’s none of your business,” he yelled disdainfully, demanding that I leave.
“Heh,” I scoffed and ignored him.
“Liu Chao, I forgot to tell you, I just called Aunt Wu; she should be arriving soon,” I said with a smile.
“No other aning, just that Sister Xinru was drunk, and I thought Aunt could take her ho, that’s all!”
“You!”
Liu Chao raised his hand to strike.
“Little Tian, what’s going on?”
Just then, Aunt Wu finally arrived.
“Mom, it’s okay, Xinru is just drunk,” Liu Chao said through clenched teeth as he glared angrily at and slowly lowered his hand.
“What’s wrong with Xinru? She doesn’t seem just drunk; why is her body so hot?” Aunt Wu isn’t a fool and quickly realized sothing was not right with Wang Xiru.
“Oh, I rember now.”
At that mont, as if suddenly recalling, Liu Chao said coldly, “Just now, Xinru happened to drink a beverage given by Xu Tian. He must have drugged it.”
“This guy has always wanted to get Xinru; yes, it must be so.”
I scoffed and didn’t bother to defend myself.
Such nonsense, not even a three-year-old would believe, let alone Aunt Wu?
But Aunt Wu’s reaction sent a chill down my spine.
“Little Tian, is what Liu Chao said true?”
Facing Aunt Wu’s icy look, I sighed helplessly.
After all, he is her son-in-law, and I am just an outsider.
“Mom, had I not arrived in ti, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”
“We treated him so well, yet he did sothing worse than an animal can do—so disappointing.”
“Such a scoundrel, we can no longer afford to keep him.”
Liu Chao took the opportunity to continue slandering .
Seeing Aunt Wu’s suspicious gaze really made feel uncomfortable.
Now that Aunt Wu had arrived, she was safe.
I was too tired to explain anymore, so I got up and left the room.
After taking a taxi ho, I silently packed up my stuff.
Today’s incident made realize, no matter how close I had been to them, in their hearts, I was always an outsider. Staying in such a place was truly pointless.
Moreover, I had had enough of feeling like a dependant.
The mont I walked out the door, I turned back for one last look at this house.
My heart was full of reluctance…
