Chapter 81 That's Because I Like You

"Can't a person get any sleep?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he met Lu Yiwan's pitiful eyes, which were as red as a rabbit's.

Both of them were stunned. Lu Yiwan broke free from the security guard's hand and glared angrily at Jiang Yimian, "You came at the right time, so that A Jin won't say I'm lying."

"How absurd!" Jiang Yimian spat out, striding towards Bo Jinzhou and grabbing his tie. "Your security guards can't even stop a little Lu Yiwan?"

"All the sleepiness I had finally managed to build up has been completely gone!"

The man's long, slender fingers grasped her hand that was loosening his tie, his dark tears tinged with a smile: "My wife is right, it really is time for a proper overhaul."

The security guard's face turned pale instantly, and he immediately grabbed Lu Yiwan and tried to drag her out.

Lu Yiwan threw a tantrum like a shrew, even losing her high heels in the process. She clung tightly to the door, yelling, "Ah Jin, Jiang Yimian has been using you all along! You've been deceived by her!"

These words made Jiang Yimian's heart skip a beat. Her calm mind was suddenly struck by a boulder, creating a stormy sea.

Jiang Yimian quickly gripped Bo Jinzhou's hand, smiling contemptuously: "What new trick is she playing?"

Lu Yiwan bit the security guard's hand and ran over in a disheveled state. The security guard stepped forward and tried to take her away, but Bo Jinzhou raised his hand to stop him.

The security guard had no choice but to leave, closing the door behind him.

Jiang Yimian's heart pounded nervously, and she pretended to be angry, saying, "Hey, why are you keeping her here?"

She crossed her arms and looked unhappy. Bo Jinzhou grabbed her thin shoulders and said, "Just take it as a joke. I'll call more people up to chase her away."

He patiently coaxed her, which made Lu Yiwan feel a mix of jealousy and resentment. She had never seen such a gentle side of Bo Jinzhou before.

She had never even experienced the special treatment Bo Jinzhou gave her. Why did Jiang Yimian take all the good things away from her?

Jiang Yimian calmed down and reluctantly said, "Fine."

"Lu Yiwan, your attempts to sow discord are futile," Jiang Yimian said gently, but looked at her with a cold expression.

Lu Yiwan's hair was disheveled, and her bag and shoes were on the ground. She was nothing like her usual gentle and elegant self.

"Jiang Yimian, stop your hypocritical act."

“Ah Jin, she married you for ulterior motives. She wants to ruin me and my parents. She doesn’t truly love you.”

Jiang Yimian countered with a retort, "I've wanted to bring you down for a long time. My husband is willing to avenge me, what's it to you?"

Upon hearing those two words, Bo Jinzhou's cold expression softened slightly, and his dark eyes filled with doting affection. The girl was only wearing pajamas, and fearing she would get cold, Bo Jinzhou covered her with his coat.

He lowered his eyes, straightened his clothes, and echoed in a cold voice, "Yeah, what's it to you?"

Lu Yiwan was furious. She picked up her bag and took out her phone. "Ah Jin, do you remember my last birthday? I drugged you, but it was because I love you." She quickly found the surveillance footage on her phone. Jiang Yimian's brow twitched violently as she listened.

“On the day I drugged you, Jiang Yimian and Chu Yao also tried to drug you. The drugged wine was in your hands all day, but you didn’t touch a drop. Look, this is the surveillance footage of Chu Yao and the waiter who drugged you handing over the wine.”

The surveillance footage showed the two brushing past each other in just a few seconds. If you didn't zoom in carefully, you wouldn't even notice that their hands had secretly touched, and Chu Yao had given the medicine to the other person.

Those few seconds felt like a giant hand gripping her lifeline; Jiang Yimian almost stopped breathing.

My mind raced, and I quickly tried to think of a solution.

She dared not imagine how furious Bo Jinzhou would be if he really knew her true intentions. How could someone as proud as him allow others to deceive him?

Even if they're going to be exposed, it shouldn't be now.

Bo Jinzhou scoffed, "This is it?"

Lu Yiwan was stunned, her hand gripping the phone so tightly it turned white.

Bo Jinzhou stood beside Jiang Yimian, completely protective of his own, his expression indifferent: "What can a fragment that can't be seen clearly prove?"

Jiang Yimian's heart, which had been in her throat, calmed down slightly, but her fingertips unconsciously clenched tightly.

Lu Yiwan smiled, "I know you don't believe me, so I brought the waiter who drugged you."

She had been investigating the events of the previous birthday party, where those people suddenly barged in, insulted her, and rescued Bo Jinzhou. She believed that it must have been premeditated.

So she kept investigating, watching the surveillance footage hundreds of times, she watched everything related to Jiang Yimian.

They eventually discovered the clue and found the waiter, who turned out to be a student at Hong Kong City University who was working part-time as a waiter on the cruise ship that day.

The waitress walked in, dressed like a student, and entered timidly.

Lu Yiwan grabbed the waiter's arm forcefully, "Tell me, did Chu Yao give you the medicine?"

The waiter was terrified and just wanted to leave as soon as possible, so he told the whole story: "Mr. Chu found me in advance and asked me to put the drug in the wine for Mr. Bo."

Bo Jinzhou stared straight at him with his dark eyes. "Have you seen me before?"

The waiter shook his head. "Mr. Chu showed me the photos."

“If you don’t believe me, I still have Mr. Chu’s chat history.”

She took out her phone, and Song Zhou handed it over to Bo Jinzhou to look at.

The WeChat ID above does not belong to Chu Yao, but the contact name is Mr. Chu.

Bo Jinzhou casually shifted his gaze. "What can a chat screenshot prove? I could also say that the person in this picture is me. How can you be sure?"

Ying Shisheng became anxious, "I... I've met Mr. Chu once. Although we didn't speak, I know Mr. Chu. If you don't believe me, you can have Mr. Chu come and confront me."

Jiang Yimian closed her eyes briefly, and Lu Yiwan smiled triumphantly, "Jiang Yimian, do you need to call Chu Yao over?"

"Or are you just too scared?"

Jiang Yimian let out a heavy sigh, "No need to call anymore."

Lu Yiwan immediately became as excited as a rooster that had won a fight, "Ah Jin, look, she admitted that she had ill intentions when she approached you, otherwise why would she drug you?"

"She's been lying to you all along."

Jiang Yimian lowered her head and gently tugged at Bo Jinzhou's sleeve, "I lied to you."

Bo Jinzhou's dark eyes were sharp and deep as he looked down at her, his voice deep and husky: "Hmm?"

"I asked Chu Yao to drug you. It was all my doing. Don't blame him."

Bo Jinzhou's face suddenly turned icy. "Jiang Yimian, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"

Instead of offering an explanation, they immediately went to defend Chu Yao.

Jiang Yimian lowered her head further and further, her shoulders trembling. Suddenly, she raised her head, her bright eyes filled with tears, which finally slid down her cheeks, leaving a trail of water on her fair skin.

Bo Jinzhou was taken aback, his brows furrowed, and he reached out to wipe her tears. Jiang Yimian pushed his hand away and stepped back, saying, "I did drug you because I like you."
