Chapter 18: An Untameable Wolf

Shen Baiying tore off her fake and kind face, and Ke Liman didn't care, "After the college entrance examination, I will ask a lawyer to draft an agreement to cancel the engagement. What belongs to me will be returned sooner or later."

"You are such an ungrateful person. The Su family has raised you for nothing. But you better know that the best legal team in H City is the legal department of Su's company. Who will help you?"

"Then we'll just have to wait and see."

Shen Baiying watched Ke Liman leave with a gloomy face. Even if this woman insisted on breaking off the engagement, she would never let her take a single penny away from the Su family.

It was raining heavily when Ke Liman left Su's house. Su's house was in the suburbs and there were no taxis anywhere. She didn't bring an umbrella, so she took out a waterproof jacket from her bag and walked on the street with her luggage in a daze. The gauze around her neck was still wet by the rain, but she walked forward numbly as if she didn't feel any pain.

"Ke Liman! Ke Liman!"

Suddenly there was a call, Ke Liman looked up and saw Chen Xiaoqing sitting in the back seat of a BMW and waving at her. Ke Liman's eyes lit up and she walked over immediately.

"Did you find something wrong with that thing?"

"Ms. Ke, let's get in the car and talk."

Jiang Nanfeng sat in the driver's seat, the car window slowly lowered, revealing his handsome profile. He looked down and saw the large and small bags beside Ke Liman, so he got out of the car and helped her put the things in the trunk.

Ke Liman nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you."

Fortunately, the clothes underneath the waterproof jacket were not very wet. Ke Liman took off the jacket and quickly sat in the back seat.

"Ke Liman, why are you still wandering outside in such heavy rain? You have so many things. Did the Su family kick you out?"

Chen Xiaoqing's eyes rolled around a few times, looking like he was eating melon.

"I'm planning to move out." Ke Liman took the tissue from Jiang Nanfeng and went straight to the point, "What kind of poison is in that tea?"

"It is a very rare foreign maggot-shaped poison. This poison is very valuable. In addition to being used to poison people, it can also be made into an antidote for other poisons. This poison is strictly prohibited in our country. If you are caught possessing it, you will be sentenced."

"Yes! Ke Liman, you almost ruined our family. Fortunately, the people who did the testing were all my brother's confidants, otherwise if the news got out, our company would be ruined!"

Chen Xiaoqing even began to wonder if Ke Liman still wanted to take revenge on them!

"Maggot-shaped poison?" Ke Liman thought for a moment and said, "If this poison is used on a human, will it be easy to detect? How long will it take for the person to die?"

"The most insidious thing about it is that it is difficult to detect. After it enters the body, people will not feel any discomfort for a month. It corrodes the stomach like a chronic poison. If you don't do a gastroscopy, you can't find it at all. After a month, it will suddenly become serious and painful, like thousands of insects gnawing at your organs. You will die within half a day."

Such a vicious poison!

"Is there an antidote?"

"We don't have it in China. If you need it, we can find a connection to go abroad to get it matched for you."

Ke Liman couldn't believe that Su Guoyi actually used such a strong poison on his own father. Seeing her unhappy expression, Jiang Nanfeng continued to ask: "You haven't told me where you got this poison from."

"Can you keep this a secret for me?"

"Don't worry! I haven't told anyone! If anyone wanted to tell me, I would have told them long ago!"

Chen Xiaoqing pouted and muttered to herself. This time, she didn’t even tell Xinyan’s best friend!

"I got this medicine from the Su family. Please help me prepare the antidote. No matter how much it costs, it's fine."

Chen Xiaoqing burst into laughter when she heard this. This must be 10 million! Her debt can be paid off!

Ke Liman looked at Jiang Nanfeng with a pleading look in her eyes. Jiang Nanfeng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Doctors save people without asking for anything in return. I won't take your money."

Chen Xiaoqing: “…”

Jiang Nanfeng had an intoxicating smile on his face, and said in a gentle and elegant manner: "I just hope that Miss Ke will let bygones be bygones and stop arguing with my niece."

When she returned to the rental house, Ke Liman looked at herself in the mirror, looking like a chicken in soup. She quickly took a hot shower and sat on the bed reading a book.

One week before the college entrance examination, the A City Art Academy will come to their school for an interview. Only those who pass the interview and reach the required college entrance examination scores can receive an admission notice. In her previous life, she suffered from inferiority complex because she was often belittled by Su Zhe'an. Her performance in the interview was used as a negative example by several art examination teachers to train other students.

She must give her best this time.

It was not until six o'clock in the evening that she remembered that she had not eaten all day. She picked up her phone and ordered a meal, then stood up and moved around. Just as she was about to pick up her book, there was a knock on the door.

“Is this meal delivered so quickly?”

Confused, Ke Liman opened the door and saw Su Guhuai's handsome face. He looked a little unhappy.

"Brother? Why are you here?"

Ke Liman was wondering how this big shot knew about the house she had just rented when Su Gu Huai strode in. Ke Liman remembered that she had just taken a shower and her underwear was still in the toilet, so she hurried to clean it up.

When she came out, her face was a little red. Seeing Su Gu Huai sitting calmly on the small sofa in her room, she felt a little at a loss, as if Su Gu Huai was the master of this house.

"Let me get you a glass of water!"

"No, I can do it."

Su Gu Huai looked at the water bottle that was within reach in front of him, and Ke Liman withdrew her hand somewhat awkwardly. Su Gu Huai was too tall, and the roof of the rental house was very low. She saw that Su Gu Huai had bent over when he came in just now.

There is a feeling that a rich young man coming to my humble home is out of place.

"Why didn't you tell me you were moving? Didn't I give you my contact information?"

"I think this is a small matter. I don't have much to move with me. I hope it won't bother you!"

Su Gu Huai was silent, as if he was a little angry. Ke Liman swallowed, picked up the hot water on the table and took a sip, not understanding why he suddenly became unhappy.

"Did you remember to change the bandage on your neck wound on time?"

Su Gu Huai untied the gauze around Ke Liman's neck with one hand. The wound clearly showed no signs of improvement. He reached out and pulled her to his side, lifted her chin, and examined her carefully.

Ke Liman's breathing paused for a moment, and the cool scent of white plum blossoms wafted into her nose, which smelled so pleasant.

"Where's the ointment?"

"In the drawer..."

Ke Liman's body trembled a little. Because she was hurt by Su Zhe'an in her previous life, she was a little afraid of men's overly intimate actions. But the smell of Su Gu Huai was so pleasant and reassuring that it soothed some of her inner anxiety.

When the cold ointment touched her wound, she subconsciously wanted to shrink back. Su Gu Huai's big hands tightly wrapped around her slender waist, carefully applied the ointment on her and then put gauze on it.

Su Gu Huai felt the stiffness in his arms, and he asked in a deep voice, "Is this how you take care of yourself?"

"Hello! Your takeaway has arrived!"

The sound of takeout at the door broke the atmosphere in the room, and Ke Liman left Su Guhuai's arms immediately.

After taking the takeaway, she smiled awkwardly at Su Guhuai and said, "I didn't know you were coming, so I only ordered one portion."

"It's okay, let's eat together."

Su Gu Huai was not embarrassed at all. He directly took the takeaway from Ke Liman's hand. It was a very light bowl of noodles with only a few vegetables floating on top.

Su Gu Huai picked up the takeaway lid, skillfully divided the noodles into two portions, and then started eating them in big mouthfuls.

He is not picky about food. During the time when he was specially trained by Mr. Su abroad, he was not given any food for a week. When he was hungry, he could only eat tree bark and insects.

Ke Liman was a little surprised. She thought Su Gu Huai was a person who was very particular about food, just like Su Zhe'an. Once before, she put too much salt in a dish she cooked, and Su Zhe'an was in a bad mood and swept the whole table of food to the floor.

"There's not much nutrition here. I'll arrange for an aunt to come over and cook for you every day."

"I won't disturb you. She'll leave after cooking. You're going to take the college entrance exam soon. You're so thin. You should eat something nutritious."

Su Guhuai's words carried an irresistible tone, so Ke Liman had no choice but to acquiesce.

"I thought you were here to take me back to the Su family."

"Why do you think so?"

"Last time we were discussing breaking off the engagement, you interrupted our conversation and I thought you disagreed."

"Of course, you have to take the initiative to give 50% of your property to that woman. It's too much of a loss."
