"Oh, please have a seat." Shen Fenghua and her two daughters received a warm welcome as soon as they entered the room. Shen Fenghua smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."
Honestly, just by looking at his face, no one would imagine that this refined-looking young man, exuding elegance in every gesture, would have a tendency towards domestic violence and alcoholism.
No one would have imagined that his wife's direct cause of death three years ago would be because of him.
The man's eyes behind his glasses were full of greed, but he seemed to remember something and restrained himself considerably, his facial expressions becoming much more subdued. "Feng Hua, right? A very outstanding woman. I heard she's the deputy director of the propaganda office at the steel plant."
Shen Fenghua was being polite, but after learning what kind of person he was, just looking at him made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"You're too kind. I'm not very capable; I was just lucky."
“Well then, I’m twenty-six years old this year, three years older than you. If Fenghua doesn’t mind, you can call me big brother,” the man said with a smile. Shen Fenghua also smiled. “Then I won’t stand on ceremony.” She picked up the teacup on the table, while Shen Huixiu, who was watching from the side, was on tenterhooks.
Her eyes widened involuntarily, and her hands clenched into fists on her knees. "Drink!"
Drink it quickly!
Once you drink the drugged tea, the rest is up to you.
But who could have predicted that after circling the teacup in front of him, Shen Fenghua would put it back on the table with an apologetic look on his face, "Look at my personality, I almost forgot what your surname is, brother."
"My surname is Wang, Wang Xingda. Feng Hua, you're too kind."
"Oh~" Shen Fenghua smiled charmingly, "So it's Brother Wang." She picked up the teacup on the table and raised it, "I have to thank Brother Wang for helping my good-for-nothing sister out of her predicament this time."
"You're too kind," Wang Xingda said, raising his teacup as well. The two clinked their cups together, and just as Shen Fenghua was about to drink, a cat suddenly darted out of the room, pounced on Shen Fenghua, and knocked the cup she was holding loosely out of her hand, spilling it.
Tea spilled on his trousers, but Shen Fenghua felt incredibly at peace.
What a good cat.
If it hadn't suddenly jumped out, I would have had to figure out how to spill the tea myself.
Now, an unexpected turn of events has occurred, seemingly a stroke of genius that has directly brought Shen Fenghua to her feet.
"Ouch, this damn cat!" Wang Xingda chased away the cat that had caused the trouble and apologized to Shen Fenghua, "I'm really sorry, I don't know what's wrong with this cat lately, its temperament has changed drastically, it used to be so docile."
He kept apologizing, "I'm so sorry, I'm really so sorry."
Shen Fenghua raised her hand and casually placed the bag on her wet legs. "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just this tea..."
Shen Huixiu was furious. If glares could kill, the cat that ruined her plan would have been riddled with holes by her long ago.
Upon hearing Shen Fenghua's words, she quickly stood up, "It's alright, it's alright, I'll go add some more."
Wang Xingda's eyes flashed, and he pointed vaguely towards the kitchen. Shen Huixiu grabbed a teacup and rushed over.
Sitting there, Chen's mother felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. She hesitated for a moment, then stood up as well. "I'll go take a look too. Huixiu hasn't done much housework at home. I'm afraid she'll be clumsy and break things again."
After they both left, Shen Fenghua raised an eyebrow, slowly took the teacup in front of Shen Huixiu, and said with a smile, "It's really not easy to get a sip of tea from Brother Wang's house."
Wang Xingda: "..."
He chuckled awkwardly and whispered, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."
Shen Fenghua drank the tea that Shen Huixiu hadn't touched in one gulp, then poured water from the military canteen into it, blinked, and said, "An eye for an eye, Brother Wang, you don't have any objections, do you?"
The water in the military canteen had obviously been spiked by Shen Huixiu and her mother.
Now she's doing this...
Well, even if the truth comes out, who can do anything to me?
From beginning to end, she knew nothing; she was completely innocent.
"No objection, of course I have no objection, please do as you please." Looking at Shen Fenghua's calm and composed expression, he gritted his teeth with hatred for Shen Huixiu and her daughter, who were dawdling in his kitchen. Just how much trouble had these two jinxes brought upon him?
However, in retrospect, it was my own greed; it would have been much better to just find myself a wife honestly.
well!
Looking at Shen Fenghua, he thought with a sense of unease, "Indeed, beautiful women are all poison."
They put the cup back, and a few minutes later, the mother and daughter came out.
She was holding a teapot in her hand. Perhaps because the kitchen was too hot, Shen Huixiu couldn't wait to pick up the cup in front of her and drink it all in one gulp before she even sat down.
Shen Fenghua watched all of this silently, without showing any emotion.
The smile on her lips grew even more pronounced.
That's great, she'll soon be able to watch Shen Huixiu reap what she sows.
It would be strange if there wasn't something fishy about the water in the teapot. After pouring out the water, Shen Huixiu put the teapot away and left it untouched.
Shen Fenghua smiled and said, "Pour some for yourself too, the water in your glass is all gone."
Shen Huixiu: "..."
Her eyes flashed, and she refused, "No, sister, I'm not thirsty now."
“Hey,” Shen Fenghua stood up, took the teapot, and poured a cup for Shen Huixiu. “Look at you, child. You have no sense of propriety at all. You’re not a child anymore. Everyone else’s cups are full, but yours is empty. Is that appropriate?”
After filling the teacup, Shen Fenghua didn't urge her to drink it, and just left it there.
Shen Huixiu was extremely annoyed, but she didn't dare to persuade Shen Fenghua to drink it, for fear that Shen Fenghua might suddenly decide to make her drink it too. After all, she had bought this herself, and she knew very well how potent its effects were.
But……
As time passed, Shen Huixiu's face gradually flushed red, her breathing became rapid, her eyes became hazy, and almost instantly her face was covered with a layer of mist.
Shen Fenghua raised an eyebrow, glanced at the clock, and said five minutes had passed.
This medicine is really powerful.
Three minutes later, Shen Huixiu was slumped on the sofa. Her mother was dumbfounded. She glanced at her younger daughter and then at her older daughter, who was talking and laughing with ease.
It feels like something inside me is breaking.
Her hands were trembling, and when she spoke, her voice was hoarse, "Fenghua, Mother..."
Shen Fenghua interrupted her mother's conversation with a smile, "Mother? Do you think you're still worthy of being my mother?"
"You...you knew everything?" Mother Shen stood up shakily, unsure of what expression to wear. "You knew everything, didn't you?"
