Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 701 There Was Something In The Soup (1)

Zhao Youlin smiled as she discussed the contents of the photos in the album with An Yue. She flipped through the photos one by one until she finally flipped to the large group photo that the two of them had taken when they graduated from high school.

Zhao Youlin’s fingertip swept across a few faces in a corner of the photo without leaving a trace. Mu Tingfeng saw her movements and his gaze followed Zhao Youlin’s movements and fixed on the faces. He seemed to have suddenly understood something. His eyes flashed.

“Youlin, what’s wrong?” An Yue saw that Zhao Youlin had not flipped to the next page for a long time. She looked up at Zhao Youlin curiously and found that she was staring at the photo album in a daze, as if her mind had wandered. She could not help but call out in a low voice.

Zhao Youlin seemed to have woken up from a dream. She pulled her gaze away from the photo and forced a smile. “Nothing.”

An Yue looked at her suspiciously. Just as she was about to ask her again, Zhao Youlin had already closed the photo album. She turned her head to look at Zhao Shunrong and the former master not far away. “Grandfather, Dad, there’s something I want to talk to you about…”

“The meal is ready. Come over and eat,” Duan Yarong’s voice suddenly interrupted Zhao Youlin’s words from behind.

The former master and Zhao Shunrong looked in the direction of Duan Yarong before looking at Zhao Youlin and asked curiously, “What’s the matter?”

“Um…” Zhao Youlin seemed to have lost her momentum after being interrupted. She could only force a smile on her face and said, “No, it’s nothing. It’s just a small matter. It can wait till after the meal.”

The former master and Zhao Shunrong exchanged looks and said nothing more.

Mu Tingfeng quietly reached out and held Zhao Youlin’s hand, giving her comfort and courage.

Zhao Youlin took a deep breath and shook her head with Mu Tingfeng from an angle that no one else could see, telling him that she was

fine.

There were two pregnant women at home. Duan Yarong had asked the small kitchen to cook nutritious, but not too greasy food.

The two pregnant women became the stars surrounding the moon at the dining table. Everyone had the same ambition to stuff the best food in front of the two of them until they couldn’t put anything down.

Under everyone’s oppressive gaze, Zhao Youlin swallowed the mountain of food into her stomach. Once again, she was full of food.

Zhao Youlin touched her slightly bulging stomach. She had no doubt that if she was fed like this again, she would be so fat that she would look like an oversized baby giving birth to another baby!

Just as Zhao Youlin was feeling depressed, the maid at home brought over a bowl of rather thick soup.

“Eh, this is…” Zhao Youlin was stunned when she saw the bowl of soup. She turned around and looked at Duan Yarong and the others.

Duan Yarong smiled slightly. “This is the medicinal soup that I specially asked my family’s doctor to prescribe for Yue Yue, so that she can take advantage of this opportunity to nourish herself. There are quite a lot of varieties. If you like it, I’ll get the cook to write you the recipe. I’ll get the cook of the Mu family to stew it for you for a few days to see the effects.”

As Duan Yarong spoke, she said to the maid who brought the dishes over, “Go to the kitchen and get a bowl of soup for the eldest lady as well.”

The maid was quite agile. Before long, she brought back a bowl of soup just like An Yue’s.

Zhao Youlin did not stand on ceremony. She took the bowl of soup and blew it slightly to cool it before lowering her head to take a sip. Her expression immediately changed. She opened her mouth and spat the soup back. When she turned around, she saw An Yue also holding the bowl and about to drink it. Unhesitatingly, she raised her hand to knock the bowl of soup that An Yue had brought to her mouth onto the ground.

With a crash, the ceramic bowl fell to the ground with a loud crash, and the soup in the bowl spilled all over the ground.

Everyone present was shocked by Zhao Youlin’s actions, and they all turned to look at Zhao Youlin.

An Yue was still holding the bowl, not understanding what she had done to make Zhao Youlin so angry. She timidly called out,”… Youlin?”

Zhao Youlin’s face was cold. She grabbed An Yue’s wrist and asked, “How much did you drink just now? Do you feel uncomfortable?”

An Yue was stunned, although she was a little confused, she still answered honestly, “No… No, I don’t feel anything off. I just drank a mouthful…” She was about to drink the second mouthful when the bowl was knocked out of her hands.

Zhao Youlin’s expression changed again when she heard that. She turned around and shouted at Duan Yarong, “Mom, get someone to call the doctor. There’s something wrong with the soup.”

Duan Yarong was also shocked when she heard Zhao Youlin’s words. She had gotten someone to make soup for An Yue so that she could have a baby to nourish An Yue’s body, not to have someone tamper with the soup!

Duan Yarong immediately got up and ran to call for help, while the others immediately surrounded An Yue.

Mu Tingfeng was about to go over to see if Zhao Youlin was alright when he suddenly thought of something. He instructed uncle Zhao, “Get someone to look after the people and things in the kitchen. Don’t let anyone tamper with them during the chaos.”

No matter what, Mu Tingfeng was still the son-in-law of the Zhao family. Uncle Zhao was stunned for a moment before he immediately understood what Mu Tingfeng meant. He bowed and walked towards the kitchen.

Duan Yarong quickly brought the doctor back. When the old doctor heard that something had happened to An Yue, he did not stand about to ask questions. He took out his tools and examined An Yue inside and out, but he did not find anything unusual. He asked directly, “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Does your stomach hurt?”

An Yue shook her head. The old doctor was puzzled. Since she was fine, why such a fuss? When he was summoned, it had sounded like a building had fallen on the ladies.

As if seeing the old doctor’s confusion, Zhao Youlin took a step forward and handed the bowl of soup to the old doctor. “Doctor, can you take a look? Is there some Banxia in this bowl of soup?”

The old doctor’s expression changed when he heard Zhao Youlin’s words. He took the bowl of soup and smelled it. He then dipped his hand into the soup and sniffed it.

“That’s right. This soup is indeed mixed with Banxia, and there’s quite a lot of it.”

Zhao Youlin’s eyes flashed with understanding. When she was young, her body was weak, and she often caught a cold and coughed. Her adoptive mother was worried that there would be side effects if she kept taking Western medicine. She heard that the side effects of Chinese medicine were relatively less severe, so she sought out an old Chinese doctor and asked for a prescription. The prescription contained this medicine.

After that, she drank it continuously for a period of time and her body did improve a lot. However, she did not know who told her adoptive mother that it was not good to eat too much of Banxia, especially for girls.

Girls who were pregnant were definitely not allowed to eat it. Otherwise, if she was not careful, it would affect the child.

Her adoptive mother was shocked. From then on, she never let her eat that thing again. However, Zhao Youlin remembered every detail concerning it.

Therefore, when the soup entered her mouth just now, she could immediately sense that something was mixed in it!
