Moreover, upon closer inspection, the portion of the straw that is wetted by the juice is greater than its horizontal position when it is statically upright.

But I remember that I haven't touched or drunk any of the juice since it was poured into the glass.

How could this happen with a straw?

Unless someone has touched my juice, like stirring it with a straw—but why would they stir it?

A bold idea suddenly popped into my head!

Gu Yutian wouldn't have drugged my juice, would she?!

This thought gave me a huge shock!

I can't believe she had the guts to do something like this in broad daylight.

If she really has the guts to do it, what is her purpose?

Could it be that she's going to poison me to avenge her brother?

But murderers pay with their lives, and she's finished too.

So it definitely isn't...

I couldn't help but speculate about her thoughts with the darkest malice—

Perhaps she wanted to drug me, stage a rape or something, ruin my entire life, and avenge her brother.

This is the most reasonable explanation I can think of.

The shock lingered in my mind for a long time. Although I was not sure if my guess was correct, now that I had doubts, I would never touch that glass of juice again.

Seeing that I was silent, Gu Yutian glanced at me and asked hesitantly, "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

I looked at her and smiled enigmatically: "I was wondering why you insisted on treating me to dinner today—it's quite unusual, it feels like you're trying to harm me."

I deliberately tested them.

Whether out of guilt or something else, her eyes darted around noticeably. "What nonsense are you spouting! I kindly invited you to dinner, and you're slandering me like this?"

"Just kidding." I laughed immediately, picked up my knife and fork and slowly cut the steak. Then, to appease her, I sighed and said with feigned regret, "Actually, all these years, I've long considered you my own sister. It's a pity that your brother and I are not meant to be."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yutian snorted coldly and became arrogant: "It's all your fault for being so difficult. My brother is such a good man."

I smiled without saying anything, and after taking a bite of steak, I put down my knife and fork, picked up my phone, and pretended to be busy.

Actually, I sent a WeChat message to Gu Yanqing.

"Your sister invited me out to dinner tonight, insisting I cheated on you and made you a cuckold. Gu Yanqing, you can't agree to a divorce on one hand, and then let your family make things difficult for me on the other, can you?"

I bet that once this WeChat message is sent, Gu Yanqing will immediately call his sister.

After sending the message, I put down my phone and continued eating.

But I didn't dare eat much of that steak; I only ate a cherry tomato from the vegetable salad.

Sure enough, less than three minutes later, Gu Yutian's phone rang.

She took it out, glanced at it, frowned, then looked at me and asked unhappily, "Did you tell my brother?"

I pretended to be clueless, "What did you say?"

Gu Yutian didn't answer, picked up her phone, got up and walked away. "Brother, what's up?"

While I waited for her to leave, I looked up and carefully examined the surroundings of the restaurant.

There were only two tables of customers next to us, and no one noticed us, but there was a camera at the top of the corner of the restaurant wall, facing our area.

I picked up the straw and stirred the drink to make sure all the powder adhering to the straw was gone, then I swapped my drink with Gu Yutian's.

However, I didn't drink Gu Yutian's cup either. Instead, I poured it into the green plant next to me, leaving only a small half-cup, pretending that I had drunk half of it.

After I finished all this, Gu Yutian still hadn't returned.

After waiting for another five or six minutes, she finally returned, but she didn't look happy, presumably because the brother and sister had argued.

"Jiang Wan, you're lying! My brother said you were the one who told on him!" Gu Yutian accused as soon as she sat down.

I smiled and didn't deny it anymore. "Yes, but I thought your brother knew you came to see me. Who knew you didn't tell him?"

As I responded, I picked up the bottle of juice and poured some more into the glass in front of me.

"This juice is very fresh, you can have the rest." After pouring myself most of a glass, I poured the rest of the juice from the bottle into the glass in front of her.

The result is a bit disappointing.

She picked up the straw and took two sips.

I watched quietly, my heart beating a little fast.

I didn't touch that drink, so there's no hygiene issue since she drank it.

The problem is—if she really did drug it, then the drink she's in now will have some adverse effects.

I didn't know what would happen, so naturally I felt a little uneasy.

But then I realized that she had only herself to blame.

While she was answering the phone, I changed her drink and sent Xiaoyingtao a WeChat message.

I told her to call me in ten minutes and say that there was an extremely urgent matter at the company and that I had to go back immediately.

There are only five or six minutes left.

Gu Yutian was still immersed in displeasure. After swallowing her drink, she stared at me and continued to humiliate me: "Jiang Wan, aren't you living a failed life? You angered your own half-sister to death, then put your biological father in jail. I heard you even drove your stepmother to the brink of despair. Now you want to divorce your husband who loves you wholeheartedly—what's so good about living a life where everyone abandons you?"

I listened attentively to her scolding, nodded and said, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have realized how capable I am. I accomplished so many great things all by myself."

"..." Gu Yutian was so angry that she couldn't speak.

My phone rang at just the right moment.

"Hey, Cherry... I'm off work, not in the studio. What's wrong? What? Can't President Yang handle this? Is he on a business trip? Okay, I understand, I'll be back as soon as possible."
