Capítulo 930: Chapter 930: Not the Brightest Tool in the Shed
When the topic of sparkling water was brought up, Lai Wenyan’s eyelid twitched even more violently.
Jiang Yiniing never expected that Tang Li, who was teasing her just monts ago, would actually speak up for her. Her eyes turned red, and she seized the opportunity to defend herself: “I have really never drugged the Councilman, and I don’t even know about those Tripterygium wilfordii Polysaccharide Tablets.”
“Tripterygium wilfordii Polysaccharide Tablets,” Tang Li corrected.
“Right,” Jiang Yiniing quickly nodded: “Those Tripterygium wilfordii Polysaccharide Tablets.”
The apple peel fell down in spirals.
When only the apple flesh was left, Tang Li flicked the knife in her hand, and the apple peel fell right into the trash can.
As she looked up, she was t with Lai Wenyan’s cold, icy gaze.
In a past life, if Lai Wenyan had looked at her like that, Tang Li would have been scared out of her wits; living a second life, she could already handle such a gaze with ease.
Once she no longer saw Lai Wenyan as her father, those apprehensions no longer existed.
After Tang Li placed the freshly peeled apple on the fruit plate, Lai Wenyan’s seemingly casual remark sounded in her ear: “You rember such a complicated dicine na very clearly.”
Hearing this, she imdiately knew she was now on the suspect list.
Tang Li put down the fruit knife and answered while speaking: “When I was in Diannan, a neighbor had chronic nephritis. Because they were poor, they couldn’t bear to go to the hospital, so his wife often picked Mountain Begonia to soak in wine.”
As she spoke, she took out the cellphone from her pants pocket.
Unlocking it and opening the photo album, she handed it to Lai Wenyan: “It’s this kind of flower.”
It was a childhood photo of Tang Li.
A seven or eight-year-old girl stood in front of a vast expanse of fiery red Mountain Begonia.
The edges of the photo were mottled, clearly aged with ti.
Lai Wenyan’s gaze, however, lingered on the lower left corner of the photo, where a chubby girl stood with her hands in her pockets, her stance a bit socially awkward, but noticeably fairer than Tang Li in the photo, “The sun in Diannan is so fierce, yet it didn’t tan her.”
Tang Li swiped the phone screen with her hand.
In Lai Wenyan’s view, another photo appeared.
It was an artistic photo of that chubby girl dressed as a princess.
“She’s the daughter of that uncle with kidney disease,” Tang Li said, “She accidentally bumped her head when she was young, so the family rarely let her out.”
Without sun exposure, she naturally wouldn’t get tanned.
Lai Wenyan looked at the photo again.
The chubby girl wore a large floral headpiece, a red spot on her forehead, her eyelids drooping, indeed looking a bit dimwitted.
This vintage artistic photo was taken ten years ago.
A blurred date watermark was in the bottom right corner of the photo.
Ever suspicious, Lai Wenyan certainly didn’t overlook this little detail.
Tang Li continued, “Later, a retired traditional Chinese dicine doctor moved to our area and saw the neighbor’s aunt picking Mountain Begonia. Upon hearing her husband’s condition, he told the neighbor’s aunt that Tripterygium wilfordii Polysaccharide Tablets could treat chronic nephritis and cost only a dozen yuan per bottle.
After that, the neighbor’s aunt often asked my mother to bring dicine for her husband from the hospital.”
“I still rember my mother’s advice that taking Tripterygium wilfordii Polysaccharide Tablets by mistake can cause liver function abnormalities, even renal failure, so she never allowed to touch the dicine bottles.”
Each ti Tang Li ntioned ‘mother’, Lai Wenyan had no ti to dwell on it.
His focus was entirely on ‘renal failure’!
After a long while, Lai Wenyan instructed Jiang Yuan: “Take her out first.”
After Jiang Yiniing left the ward, Lai Wenyan looked at Tang Li again, “Since it’s not Yiniing, who do you think is the most suspicious?”
“Whoever it is, it’s certainly not .”
With their eyes locked, Tang Li remained frank: “There are still many uncontrollable factors with His Excellency and my marriage. If sothing happened to you, father, it would do plenty of good and no harm.”
