Chapter 640: Conspiracy (14)
She had just walked into the living room when she saw Shi Nuannuan’s figure disappear at the entrance. Curious, she followed her.
After Nuannuan went out, she sat on the swing in the courtyard.
Her position was just diagonally opposite Xiangyi’s.
Glancing at the two of them, Zuo Weiyi smiled and immediately turned back to the living room, giving the two some space.
In the kitchen, Xiao Cui was steaming a bream.
She stood by the kitchen counter, her pair of dark red phoenix eyes fixed on the fish in the pot as she tightly held a small blue and white porcelain bottle in her hand.
Just as she was thinking, her phone suddenly buzzed.
She took it out and saw a message.
In it were photos of Xiao Song getting beaten black and blue.
Xiao Cui’s heart suddenly felt like it was being hit by a thousand hammers!
Soon, her phone rang and she hurriedly picked up the call.
“What are you doing?!”
“If you don’t do as we say, I assure you, Xiao Song won’t live through the night!”
“Please... don’t hurt him, I’ll promise you anything! As long as you don’t hurt him...” She was so anxious that tears were streaming down her face and she almost screamed.
“Okay, then I’ll wait for your good news tonight.” On the other end of the line, a strange smile appeared on the person’s face.
“I want to talk to Xiao Song on the phone!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely let him go after this is done!”
“No—” But before Xiao Cui could finish her sentence, the line had been cut off. “Hello? Hello?!”
No matter how much she cried, there was only silence.
Xiao Cui put away her phone and looked at the fragrant steamed fish in the pot. She closed her eyes and two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks.
I’m sorry, Madam...
She opened her eyes again and poured the colorless and tasteless liquid into the pot.
Dinner time.
Shi Nuannuan could smell the fragrant steamed fish and could not wait to eat it.
“Wow, it looks so delicious.”
With her chopsticks, Shi Nuannuan picked up a bit of the fish and put it into her mouth. She chewed slowly and tasted it carefully.
“Hmm...”
Xiao Cui took out a bowl of soup just in time to see Shi Nuannuan taking the first bite of the fish.
“Miss!” Xiao Cui could not help but exclaim!
Xiangyi was guarding outside the door when he heard the exclamation and his expression changed. He rushed in immediately!
However, when he saw Shi Nuannuan sitting at the dining table in perfect condition, his heart that had risen into his throat suddenly calmed down.
Seeing Xiangyi rush in and Xiao Cui’s strange expression, Shi Nuannuan felt a little puzzled.
Her hand froze in midair as she was just about to pick up another bite of the fish. “What? What’s wrong?”
Xiao Cui observed her with a serious expression. “Are, are you okay?”
“...” Shi Nuannuan’s warm and dark pupils froze. “What could be wrong with me?”
Xiao Cui glanced at her and lowered her eyes. “No, it’s.. it’s fine.”
She put down the bowl of soup in her hand and returned to the kitchen.
Just as she was about to bring out the white rice, her phone rang again.
It was yet again a number that she did not recognize, but this time it was a landline from the city.
“Hello?”
“Xiao Cui, you can’t give that thing to Mrs. Shi! If she eats it, she won’t be able to keep the babies in her stomach! That’s abortion medicine!”
Xiao Cui’s face instantly turned pale!
