Chapter 467 Paying the Price 1



This is truly heartbreaking.

Uncle Li asked, "Miss, why did you do this? Hasn't Mr. Huo treated you well?"

Rosie did not answer immediately. Su Lexin's eyes flickered slightly, and she frowned and lowered her head.

"I'm asking you!"

Rosie cried because of the pain in her arm. She shook her head in horror: "No, no... I didn't do it. She's lying. She's trying to sow discord between us."

Tang Yaoyao ignored her and instead focused her gaze on Su Lexin's face, staring intently at her: "Is that so?"

Su Lexin's expression remained cold, but the pride in her eyes was slowly fading.

“I’ve figured out that it was a close junior of his who caused all of this. Judging from the degree of poisoning, it couldn’t have been Huo Xueyin. So, it can only be Luo Xi, who goes to the Huo family every day. She has the best chance… and her purpose is very clear.”

Purpose……

Su Lexin's expression froze, and she subconsciously took a step back.

She curved her lips into a smile, looked over, raised an eyebrow, and spoke in a lazy, cold voice: "Miss Su, don't be in such a hurry to leave. You are, after all, Uncle Huo's honored guest. Wouldn't it be more polite to wait until he wakes up before leaving?"

Su Lexin...

Everyone looked at her.

"I have something to do..."

"Didn't you say that only you can save Mr. Huo? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Tang Yaoyao raised her eyebrows again, crossed her arms, and spoke in a low, lazy, and aggressive voice.

“Since you can save Mr. Huo, my presence here is superfluous.”

Tang Yaoyao opened her eyes, her gaze clear and bright, her smile radiant. She licked her lips and said, "It's not superfluous. Mr. Huo's success today is all thanks to you."

Qiu Jie was incredibly intelligent; she immediately understood the implication: "Is it related to her too?"

"Mrs. Huo is clever."

The three members of the Huo family all became cold.

Tang Yaoyao glanced at the two women and said, "From the moment I arrived at the Huo family until now, I have actually sensed the cause of Mr. Huo's illness, and of course I have also taken a good look at Rosie."

No one interrupted her; they waited for her to continue.

She took a sip of the tea her brother had brewed for her, put down the teacup, shrugged, and said with a hint of contempt in her voice, "In the end, Rosie was just a blockhead."

Rosie blushed: "You are!"

"Therefore, she could never have known about this method of poisoning. Her profession is design, and she couldn't possibly control the dosage. I figured it out when Su Lexin asked Ziyi for the pharmaceutical department..."

That's very clear.

It was Rosie and Su Lexin who colluded to harm Mr. Huo, which led to this situation today.

As Tang Yaoyao spoke, her beautiful fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled, revealing two sweet dimples: "Miss Su, do you have anything to explain?"

"These could all be fabricated by you, so why should I explain?"

Tang Yaoyao fiddled with her left fingernail and casually reminded him, "You probably didn't remember my key point just now. Of all the people you could have partnered with, you had to pick an idiot. And if she's an idiot, how would she know how to destroy evidence? Just investigate her, and you'll see who you've been hiding your misdeeds from."

Qiu Jie said in a deep voice, "Xiao Yin, bring her phone over, and then have the servants search Rosie's room."

"Okay." Huo Xueyin's voice trembled.

Rosie became anxious: "Auntie, how can you trust an outsider instead of me?"

Soon, the evidence was found: Rosie had an antidepressant in her suitcase, which matched what Tang Yaoyao had said. Not only that, there were also chat logs between her and Su Lexin on her phone.

Although some parts were deleted and the information is not comprehensive, it is certain that this was indeed orchestrated by Su Lexin and Luo Xi.

Huo Xueyin looked at the records on her phone, which showed that Luo Xi had sent a report to Su Lexin.

“I swapped my uncle’s cold medicine; he should be taking it for a week.”

“I put some powder in his teacup, but he didn’t taste it.”

"Don't worry, the doctor prescribed some sedatives for him, and I changed the dosage according to your request."

There were many more, and every single record caused Huo Xueyin heartache.

Su Lexin never expected that she would be outmaneuvered by her business partner. She angrily retorted, "Idiot! Are you keeping these records so someone can catch you?"

In desperation, Rosie retorted, "If I don't keep it, what if you get what you want and then deny it? I'll have no choice but to keep it to threaten you."

Su Lexin closed her eyes; she couldn't communicate with an idiot.

Only then did Rosie realize the panic. She shook her head, tears streaming down her face, completely losing her composure.

Looking at the Huo family members, she kept apologizing: "Auntie, cousin, cousin, I know I was wrong... I was also used by a villain, it was all her doing, it was her!"

Huo Xueyin strode over, raised her hand, and slapped him hard across the face.

Rosie had several red finger marks on her cheek.

"You're the one who changed the medicine! You could have chosen not to be used by her. You almost killed my dad!"

"cousin……"

Huo Xueyin gritted her teeth and said, "Don't call me sister, you don't deserve it!"

Fu Ziyi stared at Rosie.

The latter shuddered. At that moment, she felt that Ziyi's gaze was as if he were looking at a dead person...

She murmured, "Brother Ziyi..."

He indifferently shifted his gaze: "Now that we know the cause of the illness, how do we save Uncle Huo?"

"The ambulance will arrive soon. They will give the doctor the medicine they found in Rosie's room, along with the chat logs, which clearly state the dosage. Now that the doctor knows the cause of the illness, they can prescribe the right medicine. As long as Mr. Huo actively cooperates with the doctor's treatment, he will recover quickly."

Qiu Jie's tears fell again. She was excited that Huo Yu didn't have an incurable disease and could recover, but she was saddened that her own niece, whom she had watched grow up, was the culprit.

She choked up for a while before asking, "Rosie, why?"

Rosie pleaded frantically, "Auntie, I'm your niece, please don't let me go to jail, I beg you..."

"Tell me why!?" Qiu Jie suppressed the pain in her eyes and raised her voice.

Rosie didn't dare to speak. She stole a glance at Fu Ziyi and felt that he was as low as dust at that moment.

Su Lexin knew that the evidence was conclusive and she couldn't escape. She sneered, "Because I told her that as long as she helped me with this favor, I had the ability to use feng shui to change her fate with Fu Ziyi and make them be together. She believed me."

Rosie's face turned pale instantly...

Fu Ziyi didn't even frown, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.

The greatest harm one person can do to another is not disgust, but rather, the inability to affect their emotions no matter what the other person does.

Rosie's mind went blank from his coldness, and she remembered Fu Ziyi's heartwarming gesture of making tea for her. She asked painfully, "I love you so much. I was willing to hurt my respected uncle for you. How could you be so cruel to me?"

Tang Yaoyao laughed: "Heh..."
