Chapter 729 The Supporting Character's Counterattack

Xu Wei observed Jiang Shiwan's reaction, held the cup in her hand, swirled it around a couple of times, and her pale lips blushed slightly from the water. She curled her lips into a cold smile, "Since they're still at the hospital, we can take this opportunity to do something sneaky. Once they go home, it'll be incredibly difficult to plant anyone inside."

Hearing these words, Jiang Shiwan suddenly had more to think about. She had to admit that Xu Wei, though seemingly a nobody, was full of ideas and quick-witted. If she could come up with a way to deal with Jiang Hua, it would save her a lot of trouble. Moreover, she could find someone to take the blame, and if things were exposed, she could push Xu Wei out.

After several changes of mind, Jiang Shiwan did not leave. Instead, she listened attentively, nodding occasionally. Her attitude had clearly improved, which also indicated her tacit agreement to cooperate.

Seeing this, Xu Wei's eyes darkened. Now that she had found an ally, she was even more confident in dealing with Jiang Hua and Gu Yiming.

The tea room was dimly lit, the glass lamps casting a pale, eerie glow on people's faces. Xu Wei, having suffered a miscarriage, had little color in her face, making her look even more frightening. Her voice was also sinister, already carrying a cold undertone when she spoke.

Jiang Shiwan stared intently at her face, her opinion of her changing for the first time. She had thought she was just a small assistant who had caused her a lot of trouble when she was with Gu Yiming, and she had no intention of working with her at all. Who knew she was full of bad intentions?

Never offend a woman; once she retaliates, she can be far more terrifying than a man.

Xu Wei smiled coldly, glanced at Jiang Shiwan, and probably meant to provoke her: "If you don't want to offend Gu Yiming, it's not too late to regret it now."

"What a joke, would I be afraid?" Jiang Shiwan was indeed provoked by her and looked back at her defiantly, "What do I have to worry about? It's just dealing with a pregnant woman."

Seeing this, Xu Wei felt slightly relieved and brewed her another pot of tea. The boiling water reached 80 degrees Celsius, which was the temperature that Gu Yiming used to drink when they went out for business. In order to do her job well and to please him, she studied for a long time. Every holiday, everyone else went out to play, but she was the only one who followed the tea room teacher and studied the art of tea with all her heart. Now it all seems like a joke.

No matter how capable you are, that person won't even look at you, let alone feel any pity. They will only ruthlessly trample on your self-esteem.

The pain of losing her son drove Xu Wei completely insane, and she spared no effort in seeking revenge. This time, she found an ally and, in high spirits, revealed her plan.

"I plan to ask a nurse to help me go to the hospital. We'll pretend to deliver 'medicine' and have the nurse give Jiang Hua a tonic soup to help her abort the child, so we can get rid of the baby without anyone noticing."

In the past week, Xu Wei has been going through a lot of trouble, looking at many posts, even ancient and modern palace dramas and family dramas, all in an effort to get rid of Jiang Hua's child.

She wasn't foolish enough to throw her life away; by using someone else's hand, she could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Upon hearing her suggestion, Jiang Shiwan narrowed her eyes and suddenly said, "I'm afraid that's not appropriate. Can a nurse help?"

Xu Wei inwardly scoffed, but showed no sign of it on her face. Instead, she patiently explained, "Just find a trainee nurse and have her take the tonic soup in. She'll be happy to do it, it's just a small errand."

"The hospital must be heavily guarded," Jiang Shiwan thought nervously. Since the failed assassination attempt, she had remained inactive, not daring to act rashly without absolute certainty. Gu Yiming would definitely have informed the hospital; given his status and position, the people there would undoubtedly obey his orders and wouldn't dare offend him.

Xu Wei glanced at her, then lowered her head to take a bite of her pastry and said casually, "Just find any intern nurse and say that we are Jiang Hua's friends, that we had a falling out with her, and that we are too embarrassed to visit her. You must have some photos of her before, right? Show them to the nurse, and she will definitely believe it and will be happy to run this errand."

Jiang Hua and Jiang Shiwan are both members of the Jiang family. Although there are no individual photos of them together, photos taken with family members would certainly not be appropriate.

Jiang Shiwan was genuinely moved by Xu Wei's plan and no longer hesitated. She said she would look for the family's photography collection when she got home. She had never paid attention to it before. She disliked anything related to Jiang Hua, and she didn't care about taking photos together.

When she got home, she looked for it and actually found it. It was a photo taken at a family gathering, probably an old photo from when she was a teenager. It was quite a few years old, and the clothes were all very old-fashioned. However, everyone was young, both men and women, so she could tell the nurse that they were her middle school classmates. Anyway, Jiang Hua had no way of knowing who it was. With so many classmates in middle school, how could she possibly know which one it was?

Jiang Shiwan was responsible for providing "evidence" and luxury goods. Although there weren't many family photos in her home, it wouldn't be a big problem to find just one.

Xu Wei personally prepared the soup. She went to a small pharmacy to buy safflower, a traditional Chinese medicine, and also bought black-boned chicken. She cooked a pot of soup, and her hands trembled slightly when she finally poured in the safflower.

This carefully prepared "medicine" is about to come in handy. She was inspired by a TV series, an ancient palace drama, in which the empress used safflower to make soup to frame a concubine for miscarriage. She did it without leaving a trace, and no investigation could find out anything.

However, TV dramas are, after all, scripts written by screenwriters, and their authenticity needs to be verified. She repeatedly consulted medical materials and read posts about wives and mistresses fighting before deciding to use this tactic.

With everything ready, Xu Wei put the cooked chicken soup in a lunchbox, then bought a bouquet of lilies and met up with Jiang Shiwan. The two of them wore sunglasses and scarves, not completely covered up, but even acquaintances wouldn't recognize them, and they went to the hospital together.

The intern nurse's surname was Gao, and she had been taking care of Jiang Hua. Xu Wei had found out all about her. She found her at the nurses' station, put the chicken soup in the nurse's hand, and earnestly pleaded, "Please, could you please help us deliver this chicken soup to Miss Jiang?"

Xiao Gao was alone in the nurses' room. It was lunchtime for her, and she frowned strangely as she looked at the two oddly dressed women who appeared before her.

“We are Jiang Hua’s junior high school classmates and know that she is pregnant. However, we had a disagreement with her at a gathering before, and we are a little embarrassed to see her. Could you please help us deliver these things to her?” Jiang Shiwan chimed in.

The nurse understood, but waved her hand and refused: "The ward is just ahead. If you really want to shake hands and make peace with her, you can go there yourself. We generally don't pass things to patients; it's a hospital rule."

Seeing the nurse's troubled expression, Jiang Shiwan knew it was time for her to step in. She immediately took out her handbag and pulled out the prepared photos: "We really are junior high school classmates who studied art. You can see for yourself in the photos."
