Chapter 163: Drugged
…
"President, the Ling family's invitation!" The next day, Yan Feng walked into the office holding a light golden invitation.
"The Ling family is holding a banquet?" A trace of ripples flashed across Wen Shuzhou's eyes, but disappeared in a flash!
"Well, on the one hand it is to celebrate winning the bid, and on the other hand it is also to use this event to make friends with the first- and second-rate families who are familiar with each other at the bidding meeting. What's more, the Wen family and the Su family are also at the bidding meeting. If the Ling family invites the Wen family and the Su family, and then spreads this news, I believe many families will be willing to attend the Ling family's banquet." Yan Feng blinked and analyzed calmly.
"It's not a bad thing to be ambitious, but your ambition must be commensurate with your ability, otherwise it will backfire and the backlash will be very severe." Wen Shuzhou's lips curled up with a hint of coldness.
"President, are we still going?" Yan Feng asked tentatively.
"Of course I have to go. Let's ask Uncle Wang to come along in the evening." Wen Shuzhou said with a calculating smile.
If it weren’t for Uncle Wang’s efforts, Yan Feng’s progress wouldn’t have been so fast.
"Yes, President." Yan Feng responded and walked out.
Looking at Yan Feng's leaving back, Wen Shuzhou called the child and told him that he wanted to go home for lunch.
"Okay." Wen Miao nodded.
"I miss my kids." After hanging up the phone, Wen Shuzhou's face looked gentle.
…The sunlight shines through the half-open window, casting a mottled shadow on the cozy living room, adding a touch of laziness and romance to this ordinary morning.
When Wen Shuzhou entered the room, two sets of exquisite bowls and chopsticks had been placed on the dining table, and next to them was a bunch of fresh flowers that had just been cut from the balcony. The faint fragrance of the flowers intertwined with the aroma of the food, creating a taste of home that was both ordinary and warm.
Wen Miao was wearing simple home clothes and a half-length apron, busy in the kitchen. His movements were skillful. On the stove, a pot of steaming "Four Joy Meatballs" was emitting a golden luster, and next to it were freshly fried "Pot-fried Tofu", "Oil-fried Eggplant" and a plate of cut fruits.
"A Miao!" The first thing Wen Shuzhou did after taking off his coat was to go into the kitchen to hug his child.
"Are you back?" Wen Miao leaned back towards Wen Shuzhou and immediately curled his lips.
"Hmm." Wen Shuzhou's "hmm" sounded like a hum from his throat, sounding extremely lazy.
"Go wash your hands and eat some fruit first. We'll have dinner soon." Wen Miao rubbed her hands in Wen Shuzhou's arms and stood up.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go right away." Wen Shuzhou rubbed the child's head with his big hand and raised his lips.
"The dishes are ready!" Wen Shuzhou took two bites of fruit, and Wen Miao had already carried the last plate of dishes out of the kitchen, looking at Wen Shuzhou with a smile on her face.
"Shuzhou, you must be hungry."
"Really." Wen Shuzhou ate a four-happiness meatball and picked up a piece of fried eggplant with chopsticks, and said softly.
"You eat too."
At the table, the two of them ate and chatted, and their occasional laughter was like the afternoon sunshine, warm and bright.
After the meal, the two of them cleaned up the dishes together, then snuggled up on the sofa, enjoying the tranquility and beauty that belonged only to the two of them.
Considering the danger posed by the Ling family, Wen Shuzhou did not plan to bring the child to the evening party, but told him where they were going.
…
In the colorful night, the Ling family mansion was lit up by countless exquisite lights, and a grand banquet was slowly beginning. The guests were dressed in gorgeous clothes, walking among the crowd, chatting and laughing, and the air was filled with laughter and the faint fragrance of flowers.
Su Liluo learned from her father that Wen Shuzhou was going to the Ling family banquet, and thought that Wen Miao would also come, so she wanted to follow him, and Suzhou Cheng finally agreed. But she searched the entire banquet hall and couldn't find Wen Miao!
"Why don't I see Wen Miao?"
Su Liluo is good-looking to begin with, and today she wore an elegant long dress. The hem of her skirt swayed gently, like the softest moonlight in the night sky, attracting a lot of people's attention.
Someone in the corner had been watching Su Liluo's every move. When he saw Su Liluo alone, he curled the corners of his lips quietly.
“Beautiful, so beautiful!”
This person is none other than Ling family's son, Ling Xiao, a young man who appears to be elegant but is actually scheming. From the first moment he saw Su Liluo, he had a sinister plan in mind.
What Su Liluo never expected was that the son of the Ling family would dare to have evil thoughts towards her.
At a dark spot at the banquet, Ling Xiao took advantage of the situation and quietly put drugs in Su Liluo's wine glass. When Su Liluo drank the wine unconsciously, she began to feel dizzy and her body gradually lost control.
Seeing this, Ling Xiao had a smug smile on his face. He thought his plan was flawless and that he could easily take advantage of Su Liluo. However, he underestimated Su Liluo's wit and courage. Just as Ling Xiao was about to help Su Liluo away, at the critical moment, Su Liluo relied on her own perseverance to stay awake and caught Yan Feng, who came to see her CEO.
"Help me, I'm poisoned by Chinese medicine."
Seeing that it was Su Liluo, Yan Feng instinctively wanted to go around, but after hearing what she said, Yan Feng immediately took her to find Suzhou Cheng. Suzhou Cheng, with a gloomy face, immediately sent his daughter to the hospital.
Afterwards, Wen Shuzhou also went home on the grounds of feeling unwell.
Ling Guoqiang was entangled by a group of small families. He finally managed to get away and was about to chat with Wen Shuzhou and Suzhou City when the Su Liluo incident happened and then everyone disappeared.
That night, Suzhou City spread the word, asking the Ling family to give an explanation in time and told them that he had already called the police.
…
Upon learning that his son had given Su Li drugs, Ling Guoqiang's face instantly turned ashen, as if the sky was covered with dark clouds and a storm would erupt at any time.
"You idiot, don't you know what day it is today!" Ling Guoqiang's eyes suddenly widened, his mouth was pursed into a straight line, his teeth were clenched, and a tiny but heart-pounding gurgling sound came out, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Dad,... calm down!" The eldest son Ling Yun persuaded Ling Guoqiang.
"Calm down? Suzhou Cheng called to demand an explanation, and also called the police. Are you afraid that the police won't pay attention to our Ling family? How dare you attack Suzhou Cheng's daughter? Who gave you the courage?" Ling Guoqiang stood up abruptly, his body trembling slightly with excessive anger, his hands clenched into fists with veins bulging, as if he was about to swing at any time.
"Dad, I was wrong. I didn't know she was from Suzhou City. I was just bewildered at the time and thought she was beautiful, so I had evil intentions." Ling Xiao defended himself helplessly.
"Dad, what should we do now?" Ling Yun's brows were tightly furrowed. Their family had just dealt with some difficult matters recently. If they called the police, there was no guarantee that they would not dig up something!
At this moment, the air around seemed to freeze, so tense that it was suffocating.
"Find, find a scapegoat." Ling Guoqiang glanced at his two sons and said unhappily.
"Yes, Dad, I'll take care of it right away." Ling Yun left in a hurry.
He is so smart, but his two sons are more incompetent than the other. If it weren't for them, would he have taken such a risk? He was thinking that he would leave something for his two rebellious sons after he passed away, so that they would not live in poverty for the rest of their lives!
However, Ling Yun and Ling Xiao not only did not understand his good intentions, but also always caused trouble for him. As a father, he had to clean up the mess for them every time. Otherwise, with their behavior, the reputation of the Ling family would have been ruined long ago.
The children and grandchildren can't help them, they are all here to collect debts. If this continues, Ling Guoqiang doesn't know how long he can hold on.
Ling Guoqiang originally wanted to get close to the Wen family and the Su family and slowly whitewash the Ling family. But now it seems that this road is not easy to go. But even so, Ling Guoqiang still wants to give it a try, just in case!
…
The night is gentle, and the moonlight is like water, gently falling into the quiet bedroom, covering this space with a hazy and mysterious silver veil.
Occasionally, the sound of distant insects could be heard outside the window, seeming to add a lively melody to this quiet night.
Inside the room, a warm yellow desk lamp emitted a soft light, making the faces of Wen Shuzhou and Wen Miao look particularly soft.
Wen Shuzhou sat on the edge of the bed, reading a finance book in his hand, but his eyes kept slipping away from the pages and secretly glancing at the child next to him.
Wen Miao was lying on his side, his black hair like black satin, gleaming faintly under the dim light. His eyes were half-closed, as if he was asleep and awake at the same time, with a barely perceptible smile hanging from the corner of his mouth, which contained a bit of sweetness and satisfaction.
The air was filled with a light scent of lavender, which was the bedside incense they had picked out together when they went to the mall last time. The scent was fresh and peaceful, as if it could wash away a day's fatigue.
"A Miao, are you asleep?" Wen Shuzhou gently put down the book in his hand, leaning forward slightly, as if waiting for something.
At this moment, Wen Miao suddenly turned around, and their eyes met in the air and they smiled at each other.
Wen Miao stretched out her hand and lightly touched Wen Shuzhou's cheek with her fingertips. The touch was warm and real, causing Wen Shuzhou's already frantic heart to skip a beat.
"You naughty boy, how dare you tease me." Wen Shuzhou grabbed the child's hand to prevent him from moving, and his other hand gently ran through the child's hair, his eyes full of doting and affection.
"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
"Yeah, so what?" Wen Miao asked softly with a smile in his eyes.
"So I want you!" Wen Shuzhou whispered, with a barely perceptible hint of teasing in his voice.
The distance between the two of them was instantly shortened, so close that they could feel each other's warm breath and accelerated heartbeat.
Upon seeing this, Wen Shuzhou gently pulled the quilt over the two of them, his movements gentle and careful, as if he was afraid to break this rare warmth and happiness!
"Be gentle!"
"good!"
On a night like this, time seemed to slow down and it seemed as if there were only the two of them left in the world.
