Chapter 669 Let the Police Investigate

I laughed. "Berry's new spring style this year, do you think this will be the most polished pair of shoes in the country?"

Deng Sisi's face changed, and she asked me unnaturally, "Cousin, what do you mean? Are you saying this was done on purpose?"

Haha, he is still a naughty kid under 20 years old after all, and he just tried to cover up his mistake without thinking.

"What else could it be? My mom couldn't have worn these shoes to run a marathon. They must have been deliberately worn flat."

My dad watched the Xiao family eating melons with gusto. He was so embarrassed that he dug his toes into the ground. He couldn't help but say, "Okay, it's just a pair of shoes. The soles are worn out, just buy another pair. Why do you have to figure out why? Women are really..." Before he could even say the word "troublesome", my dad abruptly changed the subject under my mom's gaze and said, "Thoughtful~"

I knew this wasn't the right time to hold Deng Sisi accountable, but since the matter had been exposed, I took the opportunity to say to my mother, "Mom, when you get home today, check all the shoes.

You can't afford to fall right now, so just throw away the shoes with problems. Take a look before you wear them, to avoid finding the soles are worn flat again." I said the last sentence loudly.

Although my mother is partial, she believes that I will definitely not harm her, but she also believes that Deng Sisi will not harm her.

In her eyes, we are both her biological daughters. Without hard evidence, she would not believe that Deng Sisi wanted to harm her.

However, this matter left a knot in my mother's heart.

We took the Xiao family's car to the Imperial Banquet Hall. Like last time, the waiter led us to the private room on the top floor.

After everyone took their seats in the private room, the atmosphere quickly became lively again. Father Xiao and my dad chatted happily, and Xiao Shiru would occasionally interject, making everyone laugh.

As the eldest sister, Xiao Shiru’s biggest hobby is to expose negative stories about her younger brother when he was a child.

"Don't look at Xiaoqiu as a decent person now. He was very naughty when he was little. One time, I stubbed my toe while wearing slippers at home. It hurt so much that I held my injured foot with both hands and hopped on one foot to get to the sofa.

As a result, Xiao Qiu, that idiot, happened to see me. He actually copied me and hopped on one foot. He even jumped over and bumped into me. I fell flat on my butt and broke my tailbone.

Xiao Shiqiu was speechless. "Sister, I was only in elementary school at that time, and it was the time for playing with crutches."

Looking at this mature, steady and well-known entrepreneur in front of me, it is hard to imagine that he was once the naughty child that Xiao Shiru mentioned.

Father Xiao laughed and said, "I still remember this. I wanted to beat him up, but Xiaoru stopped me from touching him. She insisted that she was the one who got hit, so she should be the one to do the beating. Why should I have to do the beating?

In fact, I know that Xiaoru never dared to touch Xiaoqiu. She treated this brother better than her own son. Fortunately, our family is not short of money, otherwise she would also be a brother-supporting demon.

Everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing this. My son-in-law has a sister who supports her brother, which is definitely an advantage in the eyes of my parents. Father Xiao knows how to give extra points to his son.

I secretly glanced at Xiao Shiqiu and found that his ears were slightly red. The personality of this domineering president seemed to have collapsed.

At this time, two waiters came in to deliver drinks. When I saw the drinks, I became alert again, but this was Xiao Shiqiu's territory, so there shouldn't be any problems.

In addition to famous liquors such as Moutai and Lafite, the waiter also brought freshly squeezed coconut milk, freshly squeezed corn juice, freshly squeezed orange juice, and freshly squeezed bitter melon apple juice.

Bitter melon juice? Isn't it pure bitterness? It suddenly occurred to me: if I were to put something in, wouldn't it be the least likely to come out if I put it in bitter melon juice? As I was thinking this, a waiter started recommending bitter melon juice to my mother. "Ma'am, this bitter melon and apple juice is great for controlling sugar and maintaining your complexion. It tastes great too. It's our new health juice. Let me pour you a glass."

My mother has been very careful about controlling her sugar intake since she got pregnant. She almost never touches any beverages. But when she heard about bitter melon juice, she didn't refuse. "Okay, then have a glass."

A subtle smile flashed across the waiter's eyes, and she immediately poured my mother's cup full of bitter melon juice. As soon as she filled it up, I immediately reached out and took it. I held the cup up to the light and examined it carefully, saying, "Mom, look at how green it is. Did they add coloring?"

The waiter said quickly, "There is no coloring, this is purely natural, not even sugar is added, only honey and apple juice, you can drink it with confidence."

I looked at her doubtfully and continued shaking the cup in a feigned distrust. My mother was a little unhappy, "Mengmeng, bitter melon is green. Don't be suspicious."

Just when I couldn't think of any reason to stop my mother from drinking bitter melon juice, I suddenly saw some small white particles at the bottom of the cup. They were obviously crushed pills that had not had time to dissolve.

I breathed a sigh of relief, as long as I found it.

"Come here," I waved to the waiter, "tell me what the white particles in this cup are."

The waitress was stunned. Even though she didn't know what it was, she knew something was wrong.

So she said in a panic: "I don't know, maybe, maybe the sugar didn't dissolve."

"You just said you didn't add sugar, only honey." Xiao Shiqiu said with a cold face, "It doesn't matter if you don't know. I can have someone do some tests right away."

As he spoke, he called the restaurant manager to come up and asked him to find a strainer and a container to filter out the white particles in the bitter melon juice.

When the restaurant manager saw the situation, he knew it was not simple and immediately called the police. He suspected someone had poisoned the restaurant and no staff member was allowed to leave.

Seeing this scene, the waiter at the beginning was already trembling with fear. Before the police arrived, he trembled and said, "This is none of my business. The supervisor told me to find a way to recommend bitter melon juice to the lady in the apricot windbreaker. If she drinks one glass, I will give me 5,000 yuan. But I really don't know what's in it."

I snorted coldly, "You really don't know? You don't think the person who gave you the money put the Ten-Herb Tonic Pills in it for my mom's good, do you?"

My mother's face turned grim. "I'm just an ordinary doctor. Who would go to such great lengths to deal with me?"

Xiao Shiqiu and I exchanged a glance. This little interaction didn't escape Xiao Shiru's eyes. She was all too familiar with every expression of this brother. "Xiaoqiu, do you and Mengmeng know something?"

"Yes, but there is no evidence. Let the police investigate." Xiao Shiqiu confessed straightforwardly.

My father's face turned pale, as if he thought of something, and shook his head violently, as if to convince himself that his previous thought was wrong.

"Old Xia, does this have anything to do with you?" My mother looked at my father in disbelief.
