Chapter 329 Recognizing a Godson

Ma Huiwen accepted the brooch and flattered Jiang Rou in every way.

Jiang Rou voiced her doubts.

"You only have one sister, Ma Huijuan, so where did this nephew come from?"

"Oh, it's a distant relative's. I keep it at my house. I don't know why, but it gets along very well with Boss Pi."

Rou Rou, you don't mind, do you? We really don't mean to curry favor. Kun Kun has never had a father since he was little, and he's so happy to finally have someone like a father to him.

If you mind, I won't let them meet.

Ma Huiwen began to speak eloquently and casually.

Jiang Rou raised an eyebrow and smiled:

“That’s not what I meant. As long as you don’t get too close to Pete, it’s fine. In that case, bring Kun Kun next time, and I’ll adopt him as my godson.”

Thinking about how much money Lin Tao could earn for her, she could only swallow her pride and try to please him.

A few days later, feeling uneasy, Ma Huijuan handed Kunkun over to Ma Huiwen and repeatedly told him to act according to the circumstances.

Jiang Rou arranged to meet them at a Western restaurant.

When Kun Kun first entered a Western restaurant, he was so amazed by the dazzling crystal chandeliers that he dared not move.

He didn't dare to speak, afraid that if he raised his voice even slightly, the crystals would shatter.

When Jiang Rou saw him, he was wearing a small suit, but his face looked very rustic, giving the impression of a peasant wearing a dragon robe.

Her heart immediately relaxed.

Lin Tao just wants a son, so why not just bring Kun Kun with him?

After dropping Kun Kun off, Ma Huiwen waited for him in a pavilion not far away, allowing the two to develop their relationship.

As Kun Kun ate his steak and listened to music, he gradually relaxed.

He could answer any question Jiang Rou asked fluently.

After happily finishing their meal, Jiang Rou suggested that he become her godson.

Kun Kun thought about it and refused.

"I have a mother, I don't need another one."

Jiang Rou felt a lump in her throat, but she didn't get angry.

She thought that she had a good chat with Kun Kun, and maybe he would agree next time.

After leaving the Western restaurant, the two walked towards the pavilion.

Just as they were getting close, Kun Kun suddenly clutched his stomach and said it hurt.

Then, white foam came out of his mouth.

Ma Huiwen was terrified and quickly asked Jiang Rou what she had given him to eat.

Jiang Rou also panicked, "I gave him steak, bread, and ice cream!"

However, now is not the time to discuss this; we should take the child to the hospital as soon as possible.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctor inquired about his condition, and Kunkun said in a weak voice:

"I don't know either. That aunt wanted me to be her godson, but I didn't agree. So she gave me ice cream, and that's when I felt unwell."

The doctor looked grave and quickly asked his assistant to take samples of Kunkun's stomach contents for testing.

As a result, rat poison residue was found in the food he ate.

When Ma Huiwen heard this news, she was practically going crazy.

He grabbed Jiang Rou by the collar and questioned her:

"I thought you were genuinely kind and wanted him to be your son, but it turns out you just wanted to poison him!"

Jiang Rou turned pale with fright and shook her head repeatedly.

"That's not true! I didn't put rat poison in the ice cream. How could I be so stupid!"

Ma Huiwen scoffed at her explanation:

"You didn't add it, so did someone at the restaurant add it? It couldn't have been Kun Kun who added it himself, could it?"

Her words reminded Jiang Rou that it might really be Kun Kun who added it to the ice cream himself. The way the two of them got along just now was too smooth, as if it had been planned for a long time.

She stepped forward, shook Kunkun's body, and questioned him sharply:

"It was you, wasn't it? You're trying to frame me this way!"

Kun Kun had already fallen asleep after receiving the injection and was receiving an IV drip. When she shook him like that, he looked like a rag doll being squeezed and twisted.

Ma Huiwen couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to stop her, but she was pushed away and fell to the ground.

Just as she was about to shake Kunkun, Lin Tao appeared, grabbed her arm, threw her away, and then slapped her.

"Jiang Rou, I never imagined you'd become so vicious! You wouldn't even spare a child!"

Jiang Rou felt her head buzzing, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

She defended herself by saying:

"Pete, it's not what you think! I really didn't poison him! Wake up Kun Kun and let him tell the truth!"

Lin Tao was so angry his chest ached. He wanted to slap her again, but he slowly lowered his raised hand.

"Jiang Rou, I hope Kun Kun is alright. If anything happens to him, I won't let you off the hook!"

As he spoke, as if afraid she might do something cruel again, he pushed her out of the ward.

Ma Huiwen slowly stood up, tears streaming down her face, and sobbed to Lin Tao.

"Jiang Rou said she wanted to see Kun Kun, and I didn't think much of it, so I brought him here. I really didn't expect her to be so ruthless."

"It's all my fault. I should have brought Kunkun."

Lin Tao's brows were furrowed so deeply they could trap a mosquito, and he spoke up to stop her from blaming herself.

He also felt guilty.

If he had recognized the child earlier, Jiang Rou wouldn't have dared to do such a thing so openly.

"Should we call the police?" Ma Huiwen stopped crying and asked.

If something like this is going to happen, then make a big fuss about it.

Lin Tao turned to look at Ma Huiwen, his tone pleading:

"I'll cover all of Kun Kun's treatment costs, please don't call the police yet, okay?"

The business he's doing now has attracted the attention of the police, which is causing him a lot of trouble.

Ma Huiwen choked up: "Alright, we have no power or influence, and calling the police might not be of any use. Let's try to save Kunkun as soon as possible."

His words brought tears to Lin Tao's eyes.

As if making up his mind, he said to her,

"Go and call your sister over. I have something to tell her."

Ma Huiwen feigned surprise, then nodded obediently and left the ward.

Not long after, Ma Huijuan ran in, covering her face. Upon seeing Kunkun, she burst into tears.

"My son! How could you have become like this! Damn it, who tried to poison you?!"

Her expression was sorrowful, and her exaggerated patting of the bed drew the attention of the other patients in their beds.

What mother could bear to see her son being poisoned?

After crying for a while, she grabbed Ma Huiwen's hand and questioned her about why she hadn't taken good care of the child.

Ma Huiwen felt wronged:

"I'm sorry, I thought Jiang Rou would treat her well."

"Jiang Rou?" Ma Huijuan's pupils dilated, and she looked at Pete with an expression of disbelief.

"So, it was your wife who tried to murder my son, right? What did he do wrong? Heh~ Wasn't Jiang Rou my good friend?"

Ma Huijuan was so angry that she was becoming somewhat incoherent.

"No, I need to call the police right now and have them catch the bad guys!" She made a move to go outside to make a phone call.

Lin Tao grabbed his arm.

"Huijuan, calm down. My heart is aching just like yours! Kunkun is our son, isn't he?"
