279: Old Wu's Poisoning (1/2)



Wen Qiao watched from the side and asked Xiao Sanbao softly, "Do you like A Yan very much?"

Little Sanbao nodded and said, "Ayan is very cute."

Wen Qiao was puzzled.

Cute? Is Huo Yan cute?

Huo Yan was a teenage boy.

In two more years, they'll be young adults, and they'll be way past the point of being cute.

However, Huo Yan truly treated Xiao Sanbao as if he were a very weak junior.

Huo Dongqing and Shen Jichuan address each other as brothers. Logically, Huo Yan should call Wen Qiao "Auntie" and Xiao Sanbao "Sister."

But after arriving abroad, Huo Yan kept calling Wen Qiao "sister".

He was corrected several times after returning to China, but he always forgot.

If we only consider the relationship between Huo Yan and Wen Qiao when addressing Xiao Sanbao, Xiao Sanbao would have to call Huo Yan "little uncle".

The relationships are a mess.

Wen Qiao is now discussing her relationship with Huo Yan and Xiao Sanbao.

As for Shen Jichuan and Huo Dongqing, they continued to address each other as brothers.

When Lü Yazhi brought Wu Suowei back to the Wu family home, the house was quiet and the nanny was nowhere to be seen.

Lu Yazhi opened the door to the living room and called out, but no one responded.

Wu Suowei then cried out, "Grandma, I'm hungry. I want to eat."

Lü Yazhi responded to the child and went to get the child a bag of biscuits.

"Xiaowei, sit on the sofa and eat some cookies first. Grandma will go find your grandpa and then cook dinner."

That's strange, why is no one home?

Old Wu told her that he was free this afternoon and was going home to wait for Lü Yazhi to bring Wu Suowei back.

Lu Yazhi called out to Lao Wu twice, but received no response.

Lu Yazhi wondered to herself, "Could it be that Old Wu went to his workplace?"

She thought that if it really was Old Wu who had gone to work, she would change her clothes and cook dinner.

Speaking of the family's nanny, when the old lady of the Wu family was still alive, she didn't have this perfunctory attitude.

If it weren't for the Wu family matriarch's dying wish to treat the nanny well, Lü Yazhi would really want to talk about her.

Even if you don't want to do so many things, you should say so in advance.

It's better than now, when I come home to find no one there and have no idea where everyone went.

When Lü Yazhi and Wu Yongliang went out today, only Wu Jiandong went out; Li Sumei didn't come downstairs at all.

It's already this late, and those who were supposed to go home have already returned.

Lü Yazhi even called out twice to the second floor, "Su Mei, Su Mei..."

There was no response.

Lu Yazhi went inside to change her clothes, but she didn't see Old Wu anywhere. She was certain that Old Wu had gone to work.

She should go and prepare dinner first.

When she arrived in the kitchen, she found the thermos stopper on the stove. She thought to herself that someone must have carelessly forgotten it after pouring the water.

Just as she picked up the thermos stopper to clean it up, she was surprised to find some powdery stuff on the stove.

In the past, Lü Yazhi would have definitely thought it was something like flour or starch.

But she had just learned from Wu Suowei that Wu Jiandong and his wife were planning to drug Old Wu.

She felt a sense of unease.

Feeling a sudden jolt in her heart, Lü Yazhi immediately ran out of the kitchen and began searching everywhere for Old Wu.
