"No, I didn't drug you. We're just good friends. My brother can't stand seeing us get along well, so he deliberately said that to try and sow discord between us."
"oops."
Still feeling uneasy after saying that, Li Su dramatically and accidentally knocked over the plate of water.
They'd been arguing for ages, ignoring Li Su, which meant the water was still on the tray. Now that it's spilled...
Although he did it on purpose, Li Su felt relieved now that the evidence was gone.
"Yi-yi, I...I didn't mean to, I was just too anxious."
Li Su looked at Li Yiyi incoherently, the evasiveness in her eyes obvious even without close inspection.
Rolling her eyes, Li Yiyi didn't want to comment on Li Su's poor acting skills.
Of course I know you didn't do it on purpose. You did it intentionally, but you didn't say anything. However, the silence in your eyes seemed to say everything.
"Yes, I know you didn't mean it."
Her words were perfunctory and evasive, but Li Su couldn't see through them. Just as she was about to continue the conversation, Li Yiyi turned to look at Li Hun and said gratefully,
"Thank you. If it weren't for you, we might have all fallen into Li Su's trap."
It's unclear what Li Hun's purpose is. Is it to use them to take revenge on Li Su, or is there something else? It's also unclear whether continuing with the current course of events is the right approach.
This is the experience Li Yiyi has gained over many years. Look, Li Yiyi is smiling like a morning glory, which shows that she is on the right path.
"Li Yiyi, it's okay, it's all my fault..."
"Shut up, Li Hun, shut up! You hypocritical little man, what are you pretending to be all high and mighty for? Didn't you tell me to drug you?"
Li Yiyi said she believed her one moment, and the next she went to Li Hun's place the next.
Even the most foolish person could see that Li Yiyi was lying to her, let alone Li Su, who wasn't stupid.
Li Su could barely accept being tricked by one person, but being tricked by two at the same time was unacceptable. So, she decided to go all the way and betray Li Hun.
Having been betrayed by Long Tian once, the second betrayal was much more satisfying, without any guilt, only a delightful sense of revenge.
"Slap slap slap"
A series of frantic slaps brought Li Su back to reality; it was her mother who had done it.
Before Li Hun recovered, Li's mother treated Li Hun like her own life. After Li Hun recovered, Li Su tried to smear Li Hun, which Li's mother could not tolerate at all.
Even if Li Hun instigated Li Su to do this, it's still Li Su's fault. It's because Li Su lacked willpower; she can't blame anyone else.
"You slut, how long are you going to keep spouting nonsense? My son told you to drug him, so you did. Now, if my son tells you to die, would you go or not?"
“Tell me, your brother’s leg is broken, how did he get you to drug him? Did he force you to buy the medicine? Or did he make you give in to depravity? You should bear the consequences of your own actions, and don’t try to smear your brother.”
Her face was slapped to the side, and all she heard was "my son, my son." To her, she was called a "slut." These two different ways of addressing her made Li Su realize once again that she had no place in this family.
“Uncle Li, I’m not lying. It really was Li Hun who made me give you the drug. I didn’t want to. He threatened me, saying that if I didn’t give you the drug, he would have someone ruin me.”
"Uncle Li and Aunt Li, Yi Yi, I'm still so young, I don't want to be ruined. The medicine is still on me. I only put a little bit in the water, so it won't cause you any problems if you drink it."
Hastily pulling out the so-called medicine from her pocket, Li Su placed it on the table as if to show off, trying to make Li Yi and Boss Li see her sincerity.
Li Hun and Li's mother's place is a trap. The only way out Li Su can think of now is to get Li Laoda and the others to sympathize with her and help her escape from the house.
Although it was somewhat different from what she had expected, it didn't matter. She could accept it even if it was a little off. She could slowly make Boss Li understand what his dream daughter was like.
Looking at the medicine, Boss Li gave Li Yi a look.
Honey, you changed the dressing too early.
Li Yi nodded in agreement. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have switched the medicine for powdered sugar.
However, there's an even more fun idea.
"Li Hun, do you have anything to say? Li Su said that you asked her to drug you. Do you have any evidence to prove your innocence?"
Li Hun lowered his eyes. It seemed that Li Su's "surrender" had moved Li Yiyi and the others, but what evidence did he have?
Damn it, Li Su seized the initiative, and anything he tried to say afterward just sounded like sophistry.
Seeing Li Su continue to smear her precious son, Li's mother's hand was itching to reach out again, but Li Hun stopped her.
If they were to fight again, it would likely only garner more sympathy for Li Su from Li Yiyi and the others, causing them to side with Li Su.
“I have no evidence, but the innocent will remain innocent and the guilty will remain guilty. I do not admit that I instructed Li Su to administer the drug.”
His clear eyes and resolute, righteous face truly inspire conviction.
Li Yiyi was in a dilemma, at least that's how Li Su and Li Hun saw it.
"Li Su, do you have any direct evidence to prove that Li Hun asked you to administer the drug?"
In a corner where Li Hun couldn't see, Li Yiyi gave Li Su a look, indicating that as long as Li Su had evidence, she would stand by Li Su's side.
But where is the evidence?
Li Su had no proof whatsoever, and faced with Li Yiyi's encouraging gaze, she genuinely couldn't think of anything.
"Yiyi, I don't have any evidence either, but you have to believe me. Don't you know what kind of person I am? I won't lie."
She nodded silently. Of course, she knew what kind of person Li Su was. Someone who tried to win her over would resort to drugs instead.
"Well, there's no other way. Neither of you has any evidence, so I'll have to use my method to verify who is lying and who is telling the truth."
Li Yiyi's method
Li Su and Li Hun hesitated, unsure whether Li Yiyi was telling the truth or lying, whether she genuinely wanted to verify the claim or was just teasing them.
"Will you agree or not?"
"promise."
In unison, Li Su and Li Hun agreed.
What else could they do but agree? They had no right to refuse.
Li Yi narrowed her eyes and gave Li Hun a meaningful look, as if she had discovered something extraordinary.
“Okay, look at these three glasses of water. They all contain medicine. I’ve put in the medicine that Li Su left on the table. I’ll add a glass of sugar water in a bit. You can choose any of the four glasses.”
"If you drink sugar water, then it's not the person who drugged you. If you drink water laced with drugs, then it's who drugged you. Don't worry, I will take you to the hospital. You don't need to worry about safety."
As she spoke her last words, eight perfect teeth were revealed, and she wore a classic, sweet, and captivating smile.
But what he said was chilling: choosing between sugar water and medicine—it was utterly ridiculous.
"What do you think? Do you agree with my statement?"
Agree or disagree—it seems like there are two choices, but in reality, there is only one.
What can I do to clear my name?
