Su Yan was caught off guard for a moment, and by the time he collected his thoughts, Bai Xue had already…
"We're meant to be husband and wife, and sooner or later we'll do this sort of thing, so why not just help me counteract the drug? It will save us time and energy." She grabbed his tie and whispered into his ear.
Su Yan shivered and furiously pushed her away, "Bai Xue, you're really despicable!"
Bai Xue, who had been forcefully pushed away, hit her head on the car door. Not only her head hurt, but also the area around her chest.
She was truly asking for humiliation!
Su Yan's car sped away at rocket speed, bringing Bai Xue to Lu Yiyi's home in the shortest possible time.
By the time he returned to Liuyuan, only Bai Wanrou was left among the Liu family's guests.
"Yan, why are you so late? Did something happen?" Bai Wanrou remembered that he had said he would only be gone a few minutes, but she had waited for nearly two hours. No one answered when she called him, she was worried sick!
"I'm sorry, Rou Rou, I got held up a bit." Su Yan felt guilty, he had neglected Rou Rou for so long because of Bai Xue!
"And your phone?"
Su Yan recalled that he seemed to have dropped his phone on the ground while calling Hong City. "My phone was out of battery, so I turned it off."
"Turned it off…" It shouldn't have been unanswered then!
"Rou Rou, it's getting late, I should take you home."
Bai Wanrou didn't ask any further.
After seeing Bai Wanrou off, Su Yan excused himself to look for his cell phone. Once he found it, he deleted the photos before going back.
Seeing that Bai Xue hadn't returned all night, Meng Shaomei thought the plan must have been successful!
The plot to drug Bai Xue was all orchestrated by Meng Shaomei. She knew that Bai Xue would attend Mr. Liu's banquet, knew that Hong City had been watching her, so she had advised him on how to lure Bai Xue, plotted for Xu Qiming's father to fall sick, leaving Bai Xue alone, and then arranged for paparrazzi to wait outside the hotel to capture her in her disheveled state. This way, she had ruined Bai Xue without implicating herself.
Meng Shaomei was indeed cunning, she had really played her hand well in employing this indirect method.
Thinking of her bright future, she cheerfully hummed a tune.
Her good mood made both Bai Wanrou and her brother very curious.
"Mom, what's making you so happy?"
"You'll find out soon!" Meng Shaomei didn't tell Bai Wanrou about her plan, as she thought her daughter was too timid and likely to ruin things rather than contribute to their success.
Meng Shaomei waited for the newspapers and the internet to widely report on Bai Xue's ordeal, but flipping through all the newspapers, she didn't find what she wanted to see. She flipped through them all again in disbelief, but there was nothing!
"Impossible!" She murmured to herself.
"Mom, what are you looking for?" Bai Wanrou picked up a newspaper and read. When she saw a piece of news, she looked up excitedly, "Mom, look quickly, that Hong City got his comeuppance!"
Hong City was a playboy, and as long as a woman was beautiful, he would pursue her. Bai Wanrou was a classical beauty, and with Su Yan protecting her, Hong City didn't dare to do anything to her. But occasionally at banquets, his lewd eyes and indecent language disgusted Bai Wanrou.
The news she saw was that Hong City had been beaten unconscious and was hospitalized.
Upon hearing about Hong City, Meng Shaomei snatched the newspaper. Seeing that Hong City was unconscious, she realized her plan had failed, and angrily crumbled the newspaper.
Damn it! How could this have happened!
All the effort she put into last night turned out to be for naught!
"Mom, what's wrong?" Bai Wanrou asked tentatively.
"Just get out of here, don't bother me!" The huge disappointment made Meng Shaomei feel like murdering someone.
Bai Wanrou immediately moved away, she thought her mother was going through menopause and her mood was increasingly volatile.
