"Dad, you must not show rcy like a woman!"
Mo Han narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "The chief culprit of today’s incident is this Xiao Li!"
"If it hadn’t been for her, you wouldn’t have thought about taking out four hundred thousand for her tea business!"
"If it weren’t for the thought of taking out four hundred thousand yuan, you wouldn’t have bought hellebore to give to mom to drink, withdrawing four hundred thousand yuan from the bank with mom’s bank card to give to Xiao Li!"
"Nor would you have fallen for the ’Fairy Jump’ scam, where they open their mouths asking for a whopping fifty million!"
Luo Shanchuan’s face stiffened, and his facial muscles trembled from ti to ti. "Mo... Mo Han, you know all about it?"
"How could I not know?"
Mo Han let out a cold laugh, "The milk cup mom drank from last night wasn’t even washed; it reeked of hellebore."
"I asked Ning’er, she didn’t prepare the milk last night; it’s always been you, Dad, who does."
"Also, I found a plastic bottle in the trash can, still with half a bottle of hellebore in it! That plastic bottle even had the scent of the Liqun cigarettes you smoke!"
"Moreover, last night, Ning’er heard you and mom seed to be arguing, but then it quickly quieted down."
"In the past, you would argue for at least half an hour!"
"Today, you got up early in the morning, didn’t even eat breakfast, and left the house!"
"All of this, all of it, indicates you have a problem, Dad!"
He let out a bitter laugh, shook his head, and continued, "Dad, Mom may indeed have been wrong in how she behaves, but poisoning her and almost killing her, do you think that’s right?"
"If I hadn’t discovered it in ti today, or if I’d been half an hour late getting her to the hospital, even if she didn’t die, she’d have likely ended up with nerve damage!"
Mo Han really wasn’t lying with these words; hellebore does have a paralyzing and stimulating effect on human nerves.
The refined hellebore, just two drops could paralyze the nerves, but Luo Shanchuan got scared when Yang ifeng suddenly stuck out her head, and his hand unwittingly shook, spilling half a bottle into the milk.
Luckily, Yang ifeng’s health wasn’t too bad, and she managed to withstand half a bottle of the poisonous substance.
If her health had been even slightly worse, she might have been poisoned on the spot.
"Mo Han, I know I was wrong."
Unlike his mother-in-law Yang ifeng, his father-in-law, Luo Shanchuan, knew he had done sothing wrong and was proactively admitting it, "It was an accident that I poured half a bottle of Immortal Water."
"Really, I didn’t an to harm i Feng."
"I just wanted to hypnotize her to get so money off her."
As if afraid Mo Han wouldn’t believe him, Luo Shanchuan continued, "Last night, after I’d hypnotized i Feng, I got the passbook password from her, and first thing in the morning, I went to withdraw four hundred and fifty thousand."
"I gave four hundred thousand to Xiao Li, and of the remaining fifty thousand, I’ve only spent three hundred, no, just two hundred and fifty-six yuan..."
As he spoke, he searched all the change from his pants.
Seeing his father-in-law’s sincerity, Mo Han suddenly felt less like reproaching him. He sighed, shook his head, and said, "Dad, you’re really confused!"
"Not to ntion the scam you fell for today, just the act of secretly taking the passbook."
"You think Mom won’t find out if you take money out after getting the passbook?"
"You know exactly what Mom is like. If she discovers that four hundred and fifty thousand is missing, do you think you’ll have any good days ahead, Dad?"
Luo Shanchuan gave a bitter smile, well aware of what he should expect, but he had felt he had no choice at the ti and had just been going with the flow.
"Mom is in the hospital now; she should be waking up soon."
Mo Han didn’t want to harangue his father-in-law any further. He gave instructions, "Dad, hurry up and deposit the money back into the bank. Rember, not a penny less! Then find a ti to put the passbook back in its place!"
"Also, if Mom asks where you were this morning? Why you only ca now?"
"You need to learn to act pitiful. Given your current state, you won’t even need to pretend."
"As for the excuse, you go with what you think best, but don’t make it too far-fetched."
Hearing his son-in-law speak so expertly, Luo Shanchuan nodded repeatedly, but then suddenly, he looked up at him with a weird expression, "Mo Han! Your adaptability is too strong, isn’t it?"
"You haven’t been deceiving Ning’er often, have you?"
"I’m telling you! I only have one daughter, Ning’er. If you dare to bully her, I won’t let you off the hook!"
What? What’s all this about?
Mo Han let out a bitter laugh and replied, "Dad, don’t you know what kind of person I am?"
"Ning’er didn’t divorce when I was going through my hardest ti; how could I possibly do sothing to hurt her?"
"It’s getting late; you better hurry to the bank to deposit the money, then go to the hospital. If you’re late, Mom will start ranting again!"
Just thinking of the tigress at ho, Luo Shanchuan dared not linger any longer. He quickly picked up the cash from the table and dashed out.
Suddenly, he turned and ca back, "My good son-in-law, could you lend so money?"
"After depositing all the money, I’ll still be short by two hundred and fifty-six yuan, and right now, I don’t even have cab fare..."
Uh...
Mo Han was at a loss for words. Having no cash on him at the mont, he had to borrow five hundred yuan from Go Lao’er and handed it over.
Watching his father-in-law leave, Mo Han’s expression suddenly turned cold.
He found a chair to sit down, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and Go Lao’er scurried over, opened a lighter, and ingratiatingly said, "Mister Mo, let light that for you..."
