Hearing Zhou Yi's words, the caregiver's eyes lit up. She couldn't help it; the older woman loved gossip: "Young Master Zhou, is there something wrong with this soup?"
That's how it's always portrayed in TV dramas!
She was familiar with this plot.
I never expected that life in a wealthy family in real life would be so dramatic, involving poisoning?
Zhou Yi pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes slightly: "You have too many questions."
The fact that Zhou Yi, who is usually easygoing, said these words in a calm manner was even more frightening and inspiring than the threats uttered by domineering CEOs in TV dramas.
The words were calm and simple.
This made the caregiver's heart skip a beat, and she quickly and solemnly assured Zhou Yi.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Zhou, I was too talkative."
"Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped, I absolutely won't say anything."
Seeing Zhou Yi nod, the caregiver breathed a sigh of relief and, following Zhou Yi's instructions, poured the soup into the toilet and flushed it down the drain.
After the caregiver came out with the bowl, Zhou Yi told the caregiver to help him with the discharge procedures in the afternoon, and then quietly gave the caregiver some instructions.
Just as Zhou Yi had guessed, although Su Qingjiao was kicked out of Zhou Yi's ward by the caregiver, she lingered near the floor, wanting to see with her own eyes whether Zhou Yi had drunk the soup.
After all, this matter was of great importance. When the shareholders handed her the poison, they instructed her to make sure she watched Zhou Yi drink it before they could feel at ease.
Even before Su Qingjiao was discharged from the hospital, the mother and daughter had already noticed that Aunt Zhou would bring Zhou Yi meals every day, either personally or through her secretary.
Aunt Zhou wouldn't let Zhou Yi eat the hospital food; all of Zhou Yi's food had to go through her hands.
Therefore, the mother and daughter had no way to poison Zhou Yi in the hospital, so Su Qingjiao had to be discharged early.
Fortunately, Aunt Zhou didn't change cooks for Zhou Yi every day; she always used the Zhou family's chefs, which gave the mother and daughter the opportunity to poison him in the villa.
And they had the opportunity to hide the evidence of the poison in Aunt Zhou's car.
Su Qingjiao originally thought that she would stay even if she had to be shameless, and she would only feel at ease after watching Zhou Yi drink the poison. However, she did not expect that a rude caregiver would suddenly appear and kick her out.
Thinking about how she had failed at the last minute, Su Qingjiao couldn't help but curse that damned caregiver in her heart.
Su Qingjiao hid to the side, and after the caregiver left the ward, she secretly slipped in again.
Zhou Yi was lying in bed reading when he heard the door open. His eyes flashed coldly for a moment, but then he returned to his calm demeanor, as if he didn't know who had come in behind him.
Su Qingjiao walked to the bedside and saw that the insulated container had been washed and placed on the cabinet: "Zhou Yi, I have come to apologize to you sincerely."
"I forgive you for not helping me when I was dying in the fire."
"We've been together for almost four years. You never treated me like this before. I've been so caring towards you. Are you still going to be angry with me?"
Zhou Yi seemed to only then realize that Su Qingjiao had come in, and turned his head to look at her coldly.
"Why are you back in again?"
As he spoke, he reached out to press the call bell in front of the hospital bed.
Su Qingjiao hurriedly reached out to stop her, while anxiously explaining.
"I came here to bring you soup."
"This is the first time I've ever made soup for a man. Really, I was so worried about you after I heard you were injured that I didn't sleep all night."
"My hands were even burned red from making this fish soup."
Zhou Yi pressed the call bell without hesitation, and a moment later, the caregiver rushed back.
Upon seeing Su Qingjiao shamelessly reappear here, he was so angry that he was about to rush into the toilet to get the suction cup again.
Su Qingjiao quickly explained, "No, I didn't come to bother him. I just wanted to bring him some soup."
"The doctor said that drinking soup helps you recover faster."
The caregiver angrily shouted, "I don't need you to deliver it. Everyone knows what kind of person you are! You vixen, you're disfigured and you still dare to seduce people! Young Master Zhou just had some soup."
"Get your soup and get out of here right now."
Su Qingjiao glanced at the cleaned insulated box with a flicker in her eyes.
She had a high opinion of herself and looked down on caregivers, finding them rude and irritable, and certain that her words were not lies.
So Zhou Yi has already drunk the soup?
Su Qingjiao did not suspect any trickery. After all, she had smelled the medicine when she added it. Only a drop of the medicine was added to the soup, and she could only smell the fragrance, not any other odor. Even a professional doctor would not be able to detect it easily.
Furthermore, since the soup was personally delivered by Aunt Zhou, Zhou Yi had even less reason to suspect anything.
In the brief moment of distraction, the caregiver's suction cup was pressed against Su Qingjiao's face.
Even through the scarf, Su Qingjiao still screamed in pain.
"ah!!!"
"My face! It hurts so much! Waaaaah! How could you put this filth on my face?"
Su Qingjiao felt her entire face was dirty; it was a toilet plunger that had been shoved directly into her face, causing her wounds to reopen from the pain.
She's so angry!
But she couldn't win an argument with the caregiver in front of her.
The caregiver snapped at her, "Who's dirtier than you? What are you doing here trying to curry favor with me looking like this? Do you think I don't know what you're up to?"
Su Qing's delicate eyes reddened, and seeing Zhou Yi's smile through her sunglasses only fueled her anger.
Her initial wavering and guilty feelings dissipated after seeing Zhou Yi's cold indifference towards her.
She decided to let Zhou Yi fend for himself!
She had originally planned that if Zhou Yi treated her even a little bit better, she would subtly remind him that the shareholders had poisoned him and help him deal with the shareholders.
But now,
Zhou Yi, you've been so heartless to me!
If you hadn't stood by and watched me die, I wouldn't have been disfigured.
If I hadn't been disfigured, I wouldn't have poisoned you!
It's all your fault!
You brought this on yourself, don't blame me!
Su Qingjiao thought bitterly, but she didn't stop moving, and was chased by the caregiver as she fled the hospital.
In the afternoon, Zhou Yi called the driver to pick him up and take him home.
After returning to the villa, Zhou Yi called Aunt Zhou to tell her that he had been discharged from the hospital and asked her to come home for dinner that evening.
In the evening, Aunt Zhou brought the product that her company had successfully developed to the villa.
After hearing Zhou Yi's instructions, Butler Cao stood in the living room to wait. When Aunt Zhou came in, he quickly said to her, "It will take another half hour for dinner. Young Master Zhou has instructed that you should go to the guest room to rest first."
He said you've been working too hard lately.
Seeing how meticulously Zhou Yi had arranged things for her, even though Aunt Zhou wasn't tired, she couldn't bear to let Zhou Yi's efforts go to waste.
Then he followed Steward Cao to the guest room to rest for a while.
Soothing music played in the room, and the air was filled with the scent of sleep-inducing incense.
This is Aunt Zhou's favorite scent.
Only this fragrance can calm her down.
These past few days, Aunt Zhou has been forcing herself to shuttle between the company, the Zhou family villa, the hospital, and the research institute. As soon as she relaxed, she quickly fell into a deep sleep.
