But I had already handed the phone to Gu Yanqing.
On the other side, Li Qinglan also curiously craned her neck to get closer.
Before long, Gu Yanqing's expression grew increasingly grim, and Li Qinglan's eyes widened in shock.
"Sweet, sweetie—" Li Qinglan turned to look at her daughter on the hospital bed, stammering, "This...you and Jiang Wan, you two..."
Li Qinglan was speaking when Gu Yanqing suddenly turned around and roared, "Gu Yutian! You explain yourself clearly! What exactly happened last night!"
"Brother, I... last night, I..." Gu Yutian said with a mournful face, stammering and unable to express herself completely.
Gu Yanqing was furious. He turned around and rushed to the bedside, shoving his phone in front of her face: "Look what you're doing! You clearly gave me the drug yourself, and you're still lying to me, lying to everyone!"
"I didn't!" Gu Yutian cried out, "How did I lie to you? I didn't say it was her... You're the one who thought that, what does it have to do with me!"
After Gu Yutian finished speaking, she looked at me and vented her anger on me: "Jiang Wan! I've already suffered my retribution, why do you have to humiliate me again! Are you trying to drive me to my death?!"
I frowned and said innocently and calmly, "It was your brother who forced me to do this. If I don't explain myself clearly, he'll call the police and have me arrested—besides, it was your brother who made me come here to apologize to you."
"Gu Yutian, don't change the subject! Explain yourself clearly why you did this! Do you know this is illegal?"
Gu Yanqing, however, knew to focus on the key points this time, and didn't let Gu Yutian divert her attention, pressing her to ask for clarification.
Clearly, Gu Yanqing is clever and had already anticipated that I would use this matter to manipulate him.
He was clearly at a disadvantage and had lost the initiative in front of me, which is why he panicked and lost his temper with his own sister.
Seeing her daughter crying with tears streaming down her face, Li Qinglan quickly stepped forward and pulled Gu Yanqing aside, advising with dissatisfaction, "Keep your voice down, you're scaring people to death. Tian Tian is already like this, how can you, as her brother, bear to yell at her?"
"Mom... my brother has turned his back on his family for a woman... sob sob sob sob..." With her mother protecting her, Gu Yutian felt even more aggrieved and cried even harder.
But Gu Yanqing didn't feel sorry for her at all.
He remained serious and spoke loudly: "Mom, this is illegal. If Jiang Wan calls the police, she'll go to jail, do you understand? Our family can protect her and feel sorry for her, but the law won't care!"
Li Qinglan: "Then Tian Tian is still a victim!"
Gu Yanqing: "These are two different things! Those who violate her should go to jail, but she should also go to jail for poisoning others!"
I thought to myself, Gu Yanqing is still quite clear-headed.
Li Qinglan retorted, "What poisoning? You make it sound so terrifying, it's just a little... that kind of medicine, isn't it?"
Hearing this, I was deeply startled.
It's no wonder that Gu Yanqing and his sister have such strange values; it's just that like father, like son.
Thinking about this, I actually felt a little sorry for Gu Yanqing.
Born into the Gu family, he enjoyed wealth and luxury, but did not receive a proper education.
Seeing that Li Qinglan still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, I couldn't help but remind her, "Legally, this is called the crime of releasing dangerous substances, which carries a sentence of three to ten years."
"What?" Li Qinglan's expression changed drastically, and she stared at me dumbfounded.
Gu Yutian was also frightened. After a couple of seconds of stunned silence, she suddenly shouted, "Jiang Wan! You can't do this! If you call the police, I'll call the police too! You knew I drugged your drink, and you still switched it with mine. You're a murderer too!"
I smiled and asked calmly, "Who told you I knew? I didn't know at the time. I just saw that you really liked that juice, so I kindly offered it to you even though I hadn't tried it before. I was just being kind."
"You—you're so insidious!" Gu Yutian stammered, glaring at me but unable to utter a word, then turned to Gu Yanqing, "Brother! You like this kind of vicious woman!"
"Shut up! You caused this mess, and now you're dragging me into it too. You're incredibly stupid!"
"I'm only doing this for your own good! If I didn't see how devoted you are to her, would I have come up with such a crooked idea?" Gu Yutian cried and protested her innocence, tears and snot streaming down her face.
Gu Yanqing laughed in anger, "You're doing this kind of despicable thing, and it's for my own good?"
"It's all for you!" Gu Yutian shouted angrily.
“I wanted to give her that drink, then you could come pick her up. Once you’ve slept together, how could she escape? If you’re lucky, she might even get pregnant, making a divorce even more impossible. Even if she doesn’t get pregnant, you’ve been with her for six years, you’ve even got your marriage certificate, but you haven’t consummated your marriage. Are you really willing to accept that? I just wanted to make you feel better. What did I do wrong? I genuinely wanted to help you!”
Gu Yutian broke down emotionally and lost all reason, revealing all her innermost thoughts in front of me.
I was still shaken.
It turns out I only guessed half right last night.
She actually wanted me to get pregnant with Gu Jia's child, so that she could completely tie me down with the child!
"You Gu family are the truly treacherous and cunning ones, you eat people without spitting out the bones..." I muttered to myself, extremely angry and disappointed.
Then I strode forward aggressively, snatched the phone back, and said without hesitation, "Gu Yanqing, I have evidence of your sister's crimes. You have no other choice now. The court hearing is this afternoon, and you'd better be there on time and cooperate with the judge! If you delay the divorce any longer, I'll send your sister to jail!"
After saying that, I looked at Gu Yutian and Li Qinglan and sincerely advised, "You two should also try to persuade him. Don't think I'm joking."
"Brother, you can't... Ah!" Gu Yutian suddenly panicked, leaping off the bed, but then screamed and fell back down.
