Chapter 20 The Cake is Poisonous

Gu Mian almost cried out loud.

Just when Li Tingshen was about to take possession of her in one move, there was a knock on the door.

The person outside the door seemed very anxious and kept knocking on the door. "Master, are you there?"

Gu Mian was as if he had been granted amnesty. It was the servant's voice!

Li Ting was ready to strike, but he was held down. His face suddenly turned cold and he said unhappily, "What's the matter?"

"Master, it's bad, Miss Yin and Master Two have been poisoned!"

Both people on the bed were stunned!

Li Tingshen stood up and asked, "Has he been sent to the hospital?"

"It has been sent over immediately. The old lady has also rushed over and asked me to come and inform you."

"Got it." Li Ting walked straight into the bathroom.

Gu Mian got up and heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. He pulled the corners of his lips weakly.

She knew that since it was about Yin Luoxue, even if Li Tingshen could hardly control himself, he would calm himself down as soon as possible and rush to the hospital.

Gu Mian's clothes were torn by Li Tingshen, so she went to the cloakroom to find a piece of clothing to put on. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Li Tingshen coming out of the bathroom.

The man had just finished taking a shower and was only wearing a white bath towel around his waist. Water droplets flowed down his abdominal muscles and mermaid line, making him look deadly sexy.

But the look in his eyes when he looked at Gu Mian at this moment was particularly gloomy!

Gu Mian frowned slightly and asked subconsciously, "What's wrong?"

"Xingze said he was poisoned after eating the cake you made."

Gu Mian's fingertips trembled, "How is that possible? I didn't poison you!"

"Come with me to the hospital first."

......

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the hospital.

The old lady was already sitting on a bench outside the emergency room, waiting.

"Grandma, how are you?" Gu Mian hurried forward and asked.

The old lady patted her hands and said, "They are still pumping the stomach inside. The doctor said there is no danger to life, but you will have to endure some hardship. Don't worry, Mian girl. It's okay."

"Madam, I don't like what you said. What do you mean by 'nothing is wrong'?"

The person who spoke was a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes, Yin Luoxue's mother, He Meiru.

"Madam, you don't feel bad for your own grandson, but I do for my daughter!" He Meiru glared at Gu Mian angrily, "She just came back from prison and she poisoned my daughter. She deserves to die! I will call the police right now to have her arrested and let her spend the rest of her life in jail!"

Madam Li said sternly, "The matter has not been thoroughly investigated yet, and you insist that our little girl Mian did it. Isn't that too arbitrary?"

"They were poisoned because they ate the cake made by Gu Mian. Isn't that obvious?"

"Our little Mian isn't that stupid. She put poison in the cake so blatantly. Was she afraid that others wouldn't suspect her?"

He Meiru was speechless and immediately became even more angry, "You keep calling him your family. Are you determined to protect this murderer?"

She looked at Li Tingshen, "Tingshen, say something."

"Aunt He, calm down first." Li Tingshen's handsome face showed no emotion, and his tone was cold and distant as usual, "Wait for the person to come out first, then we can talk."

Only then did He Meiru shut up.

After a while, the door of the emergency room was opened and a doctor in a white coat came out.

"Doctor!" He Meiru hurried forward and asked, "How is my daughter?"

"Both of them are out of danger. Master Li will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Miss Yin is in a weak state, so for safety reasons, it is best for her to stay in the hospital for a few more days."

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you're alright."

"You're already in the hospital and you still say you're fine?" He Meiru said angrily, "I don't know what sin our Luoxue has committed to be harmed by Gu Mian again and again! Old Madam, you must give me an explanation for what happened today, or I'll call the police!"

The old lady looked at Gu Mian and said, "Mian girl, grandma wants to ask you, did you put poison in the cake?"

Gu Mian replied calmly, "Grandma, I don't have any."

"Okay, grandma believes you."

"Madam, the poison may not be in the cake. Maybe the Second Young Master and Miss Yin ate something else." Madam Zhang, the personal maid of the Li Madam, spoke up.

"Let's go back to the ward and ask Xingze first."

When they arrived at the ward, Li Xingze was awake, lying on the bed groaning and looking very uncomfortable.

When he saw Gu Mian, he immediately exploded, "How dare you come here! What did you put in the cake?"

"Don't rush to accuse me." The old lady said sternly, "Maybe you accidentally ate something poisonous."

"Grandma, you are still speaking for her at this time!" Li Xingze was angry and aggrieved, "We had dinner together. After dinner, I didn't eat anything else. I just took the cake she made to Luoxue to eat together. Then we both got poisoned!"

The old lady asked, "The cake is so sweet, didn't you drink anything?"

"...Tea."

"Madam, what do you mean by that?" He Meiru was unwilling to accept it immediately. "You mean that Xingze was poisoned after drinking my tea at my house? You suspect that I poisoned the tea?"

"I didn't say that, but I have to ask for clarification."

"I am sick to poison my own daughter. Besides, I have always loved Xingze the most, how could I possibly poison him!"

As they were talking, the doctor knocked on the door and came in. "Madam, the test results of the cake are out. It is indeed poisonous."

Gu Mian was stunned!

He Meiru almost laughed out loud, and said righteously, "I said it was Gu Mian who did it, old lady, even if you are protecting her, you have to be reasonable, just like a year ago, if she did it, don't think about escaping, your protection is useless."

Madam Li frowned and said, "Mian girl has already said that she was not the one who poisoned me. I believe her."

"You are still being stubborn even at this time." He Meiru looked at Li Tingshen, "Tingshen, your grandmother is partial, but you are the most fair decision maker, you say something."

Li Tingshen turned his head and looked at the girl beside him, "What on earth is going on?"

Gu Mian looked straight into his deep and cold eyes. Although she was mentally prepared, her heart was still hurt by his attitude.

He didn't believe her and only believed and cared about Yin Luoxue.

"Not me."

Gu Mian heard his own voice.

Just like a year ago, when Yin Luoxue fell down the building, she explained over and over again.

"But you made the cake by yourself, and no one else helped." Li Ting explained deeply.

Gu Mian felt as if his heart was being stabbed by needles. "So what do you want to do? Send me to prison to continue to stay in jail?"

Li Ting frowned, "Gu Mian, I'm talking to you nicely!"

"I didn't poison you. If you want to know what happened, go check it out yourself."

He Meiru took out her cell phone and said, "What else is there to check? I'm going to call the police and have you arrested!"

"Mom, don't call the police!"

At the door, Yin Luoxue hurriedly maneuvered the wheelchair in, "This is a family matter, don't alert the police, so as not to affect the reputation of the Li family."

Li Xingze glared at Gu Mian and said, "Look at Luoxue, she always thinks about the Li family, unlike you who only cares about hurting others!"
