Chapter 154: Exposing Luo Xin
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhou Tian glared at Luo Xin coldly as he stood in front of his daughter and granddaughter.
Luo Xin, stop pretending. We’ve already called the police. You and Li Yan plotted to harm my daughter and even poisoned her food. The police will give you the fairest way to handle this matter.
Luo Xing staggered and almost lost her balance. She subconsciously retorted,
“Mr. Zhou, what are you talking about? How could I possibly poison Sis Xiaorou’s food? Besides, I’ve eaten whatever she has eaten. If I really poisoned her, wouldn’t I be poisoning myself?”
“The poison you gave Sis Xiaorou is fatal to her,” Xia Wan continued. “But for you, all that would happen is a little physical weakness, which is why you’re so confident.
“You’ll just have to endure the pain for a short while, but it’s worth it, considering you’re exchanging that for Sister Xiaorou’s death. When that happens, you’ll achieve your ambition of becoming Li Yan’s wife.
Xia Wan’s allegation directly exposed Luo Xing’s intention. Luo Xin could now see that these three had clearly prepared for this long ago. It was obvious that they already knew about Luo Xin and Li Yan’s plan.
Despite the clear evidence, however, Luo Xin held on to the mentality that she’d get lucky again and continued to quibble. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Li Yan and I are not plotting anything. Mr. Zhou, are you listening to what Xia Wan and the others are trying to say?
“Mr. Zhou, Xia Wan, and I did have some friction before. She definitely doesn’t want me to stay at your house. Didn’t you go to the hospital for a check-up before? The doctor also said that there was no problem.
“Mr. Zhou, how can you doubt me just because of the words of some outsiders?
I’ve been taking care of Sis Xiaorou for a long time.”
Luo Xin finally realized why Zhou Tian was so rude to her last night. Xia Wan must have badmouthed her behind her back.
As she thought about this, Luo Xin felt that she had found an opening. As long as she insisted that Xia Wan was the one who framed her, Zhou Tian would not be able to do anything to her.
At most, she would simply get fired.
Even if they wanted evidence, Zhou Xiaorou did not eat the food she cooked, and nothing would happen. Zhou Tian cared so much about his daughter that he wouldn’t possibly let Zhou Xiaorou eat it just to prove that she had done something to the food.
As she thought of this, Luo Xin’s originally flustered heart slowly calmed down.
Zhou Tian also knew about Luo Xin’s resilient mental fortitude. He had already exposed her, yet she was still trying to deny it.
“You must have a master behind you to be able to give you such poison,” Xia Wan said directly. “You’re so confident that no one can detect the poison that this master gave you, right?
“Then you’re really outdated. Medical equipment has improved a lot these days. As long as we leave the dish you made at the City Hospital for analysis, we’ll Imow if there’s any problem with it.
Luo Xin knew that Xia Wan was skilled in medicine, and she was truly afraid.
Xia Wan observed Luo Xin’s mood with a hawk’s eye. She continued, “Besides, you’ve already consumed these dishes. The hospital in town might not be able to check your physical condition, but when you get to the city center, there are more sophisticated equipment and better doctors who’ll find out.
“Don’t think that just because you have an expert guiding you, you can do anything without anyone noticing. As long as it’s related to medicine, I can find out. Can’t you see that Sis Xiaorou’s health is only improving?
With Xia Wan’s questions, Luo Xin was completely silenced.
She Imew that Xia Wan and the others might have found out about what she and Li Yan had done, but she didn’t want to sell him out at this time. If Li Yan got away unscathed, he would definitely find a way to protect her, but if she sold him out, they would be finished.
Hence, Luo Xin bit her lip and said to Zhou Tian, ‘Mr. Zhou, this is all my fault. It has nothing to do with Li Yan. I was envious of Sis Xiaorou. I wondered why she was born into such a rich family and had such a good husband. The more time I spent with her, the more I felt it was unfair.
“Until one day, when I was shopping on the street, I happened to come across an old man who had a stall. He told me about a kind of medicine. This medicine was very magical. It was equivalent to a slow-acting poison. He told me the hospital wouldn’t be able to detect it after it’s been consumed.
“At first, I thought this person was lying to me, but I tried it and found that Sis
Xiaorou’s body was indeed getting weaker, so I slowly became bolder. I wanted to see Sis Xiaorou suffer..”
