Is this really Talismanic Water?
"Xue, drink this. We have spent a day and a night in a line in order to get it from Yuan Hua Temple on the mountain."
Bai Xue was sweating. It really was Talismanic Water!
What kind of jinx was she!
She had no choice but to swallow her friend's well-meaning act, frowning.
"Su Yan did quite well this time!" Both of them were very satisfied with Su Yan's performance this time.
"Indeed, he was surprising this time." Bai Xue did not expect Su Yan to support her like this. She thought that he would take advantage of her vulnerable state considering his hatred for her.
But she never expected...
The smile on her lips was sweet.
"Look at you, grinning like a cat that's got the cream," Wang Ningjing said sourly.
"I am indeed a cat that's got the cream," Bai Xue readily admitted to her good mood.
Both of them teased her.
"Xue, have you found the person who poisoned you?" This issue was weighing heavily on Wang Ningjing. The thought of someone lurking in the shadows trying to hurt Bai Xue made her worried.
"It was Cheng Tianhao, Su Yan's cousin." Su Yan had told her about this.
"What!" Both of them were shocked. They had seen Cheng Tianhao on TV and thought him to be an agreeable fellow. It was hard to fathom that he was the murderer!
"So, he didn't die with the nurse due to a pact of love?"
To protect Cheng Tianhao's reputation, Su Dongkun had presented the deaths of Cheng Tianhao and the nurse as a tragic love story between two people of differentstatuses, not approved by their families, which led them to take extreme steps.
"Hmm."
"What happened to the nurse? Why did she die?"
"Cheng Tianhao failed to kill Su Yan in his first attempt and tried again. He coerced the nurse to help him by promising to make her the President's wife once the job is done. But after the nurse succeeded and reported her success to him, he silenced her."
Listening to this, Lu Yiyi and Wang Ningjing both gasped in shock.
The nurse was truly a fool!
Indeed, the pitiable are bound to be hateful!
Cheng Tianhao's funeral was a simple one, attended only by Su Ruohan and Su Dongkun. That day, as the rain fell, Su Ruohan felt a sense of grave injustice.
Holding the portrait of Cheng Tianhao, Su Ruohan stood in the rain, refusing anyone to hold an umbrella over her.
"Dad, you should go back first. I want to stay with Tianhao for a bit longer. This will be the last time I see him." Her son had departed and she would never see him again.
"Xiao Han, your health is paramount. Go back with dad." Her agonized voice saddened Su Dongkun as well. Tianhao shouldn't have left them like this!
One of the most painful things in life is seeing a person with white hair sending off a person with black hair.
"Dad, you go back. I'm fine. Please let me spend a little longer here. Tianhao has never left me before. Now that he's gone, I can't help but worry. Just allow me to accompany him, to say my last goodbyes."
Su Dongkun sighed and left, leaving two people to take care of her.
"You two wait outside for me. I want some peace and quiet." Su Ruohan asked them to leave.
"Sorry, Miss Su, Mr. Su would..." The bodyguards were in a difficult position. If anything happened to her, how were they supposed to explain it to Mr. Su?
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me!" She had to seek revenge for her son.
"Miss Su..."
"Get out! Get out of my sight!"
On hearing her yell, the bodyguards left, leaving Su Ruohan alone.
With no outsiders around, she felt more comfortable. She clung to her son's tombstone, crying her heart out and almost fainting several times.
"Tianhao, look! Even the heavens are crying for you, are mourning for you. Don't worry, mom will get justice for you. I will help you achieve what you want, and the person who hurt you will meet a bad end!"
