Chapter 210 The Poisonous Room
In the end, Jiang Hanyan chose the smoky purple one, wearing a black thin base shirt and a white loose sweater. It was very casual and just right for the weather that was neither too cold nor too hot.
She wore a wide-brimmed sun hat, carried a shoulder bag, and went out without any makeup. She went downstairs with Lu Chen and Dou Dou, and brought two boxes of seafood. There were many gift boxes at home, all sent by the Rong family.
"Xiao Jiang, go out and play!"
Aunt Wang was picking vegetables at the door and greeted them.
"Let's go to a classmate's house to play."
Jiang Hanyan responded with a smile, Lu Chen nodded, and Doudou politely called her grandma.
"Young people should go out more often. My son Tianlang stays at home all day long and still can't find a wife even after he's over 30."
Aunt Wang has this ability. No matter what topic she talks about, she can always bring it up about her son being single. Then she asks people everywhere to introduce him to a partner. She has even asked all the aunts and uncles in the neighborhood for help.
"Maybe Manager Lu has something good going on."
Jiang Hanyan made a joke, saying that if she wore her peach blossom bracelet, her love luck would come.
Aunt Wang's eyes lit up and she asked hurriedly, "Xiao Jiang, did you see that?"
"It's a secret that can't be revealed. You can find out by asking Manager Lu."
Jiang Hanyan didn't explain it clearly, but Aunt Wang believed it without a doubt. She didn't even bother to choose the vegetables and went to call her son excitedly.
Lu Chen and Dou Dou drove away, and Jiang Hanyan pushed a bicycle out of the garage. Lu Chen had bought a mountain bike, which was very easy to ride. Lu Chen also installed a basket in front of the bike, which was very convenient for putting things.
Zhou Yuxin lives in the Normal University. Her parents are both teachers at the Normal University. She also has an older brother who is a graduate student at Fudan University. Her whole family are academic elites.
Jiang Hanyan parked her bicycle and went up to the third floor carrying two boxes of seafood. The door opened just after she knocked. It was Zhou Yuxin's mother, whom she had met when she reported to school at the beginning of the semester. She was a gentle and intellectual middle-aged woman who spoke in a soft voice.
“Come in quickly!”
Zhou's mother greeted them warmly. She was so happy that her daughter's classmate came to visit them for the first time. Since her daughter started living in the school, her health has improved a lot. She and her husband have been in despair for so many years, and finally they see hope.
Ji Wei Bo and the others had all arrived. There were fruits, snacks, and steaming tea on the coffee table. Zhou's father was also at home. Like Zhou's mother, he wore glasses and was very gentle and refined, and one could tell at first glance that he was an intellectual.
Both Zhou's father and mother were very welcoming, but they did not stay in the living room for too long. The couple was tactful and gave the living room to the young people while they went to the study.
Ji Weibo let out a long sigh, leaned to one side, and relaxed a lot. Even when adults were around her, she didn't dare to sit crookedly, for fear of being accused of having no manners.
"You have so many books at home, no wonder you study so well." Tian Xinxin was extremely envious. Unlike her family, the most abundant thing was gold. Everything his parents wore and displayed in the house was made of gold.
As soon as you enter the house, you will see golden light and a rustic smell everywhere.
Unlike Zhou Yuxin’s home, where the air is filled with the scent of books, this is an elegant family of scholars.
Zhou Yuxin smiled and said, "My parents both like reading. My brother and I were influenced by them and have been reading since we were young."
"Your brother is not at home?" Tian Xinxin was quite curious about her brother who was a top student.
"He seldom comes home from school. He is quite busy."
Zhou Yuxin shrugged and added, "My brother is busy dating a girlfriend. He is a playboy."
Not counting kindergarten and elementary school, her brother has had at least ten girlfriends since junior high school. She thinks her brother is a scumbag, but those girls were willing to be deceived by her brother.
Actually, it wasn't a lie. Her brother made it very clear that the girls were willing to break up and didn't say bad things about her brother. Zhou Yu couldn't understand, besides being good-looking, good at studying, sweet-mouthed and generous, what else was good about her brother?
Why were those girls so blind?
Tian Xinxin immediately turned away from her academic brother. She hated the peacock who flirted everywhere the most.
Jiang Hanyan listened to them chatting and secretly looked around the living room. Not finding anything wrong, she asked Zhou Yuxin to take her to the bedroom.
"Wait, let me drink some water."
Zhou Yuxin felt a little itchy in her throat, so she ran to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water. The cup she used looked very high-end.
Jiang Hanyan frowned. There was something wrong with this cup.
“Stop drinking!”
Jiang Hanyan snatched the cup. Zhou Yuxin was startled, but soon realized what was going on and asked in a low voice, "Is this cup too?"
"Well, how long have you been drinking?"
Jiang Hanyan poured some water and carefully examined the cup. The interior was very smooth and heavy. She suspected it was a radioactive stone.
"Three or four years, but I don't drink it often. My mother took it out when I went home yesterday. She said that this cup contains trace minerals and is good for the body." Zhou Yuxin's face was pale and her lips trembled a little.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This cup was brought home by my mother. She said it was a very expensive health cup and that drinking water soaked in it was very good for the body. But she always felt that the water soaked in this cup had a smell and she seldom drank from it, but my mother always asked her to drink from it.
It definitely wasn’t her mother. Zhou Yuxin hated herself for suspecting her mother first. Her mother’s career had stagnated for her over the years and she had aged a lot. How could she suspect her mother?
"Your mother may have been deceived, don't think too much about it."
Jiang Hanyan also felt that it was impossible. Zhou's mother's love for her daughter was obvious. The most likely possibility was that she was deceived, just like many elderly people who bought health products.
Zhou Yuxin nodded and led her to the bedroom. Her bedroom was not big, but it was decorated very warmly. There was also a bookshelf with many books.
Jiang Hanyan saw the stone sculpture of a monkey on the bookshelf. It was carved very lifelike, but this ornament also had problems. Like the thermos, it should contain radiation.
There was also the jade pillow on the bed, which, like the jade Buddha worn by Zhou Yuxin, gave her a burning sensation.
Jiang Hanyan picked up the jade pillow and fiddled with it a few times. It was hollow, so she pried it open with a knife. Sure enough, there was a lot of dark red medicinal powder inside, and there was quite a lot of it.
Zhou Yuxin's lips were bloodless. She looked at him in disbelief and murmured, "My mother gave me the jade pillow. I couldn't sleep well at night and always had nightmares. My mother said that the jade pillow can calm my nerves."
"Don't panic, there might be a misunderstanding."
Jiang Hanyan patted her shoulder comfortingly. This medicine powder was the same as the one in the jade Buddha. Obviously, they came from the same person. It was very likely that the jade pillow was given to Zhou's mother by Aunt Zhou Yuxin.
Zhou Yuxin quickly calmed down and said, "It might be given to my mom by my aunt. My aunt often gives things to my parents, and even more to my dad and brother."
My aunt likes my brother very much and often buys him gifts, but my parents don’t let my brother accept anything too expensive. My aunt is unhappy about this and says that my parents are too polite.
"Where did this monkey figurine come from?"
Jiang Hanyan pointed at the monkey ornaments on the bookshelf and asked, "These are the only two things with problems in the room. No wonder Zhou Yuxin is so seriously ill. He sleeps in a poisonous room every day and has been tortured for so many years. He is lucky to be alive."
She guessed that it was because Zhou Yuxin spent most of the year in the hospital, which reduced her intake of toxins, so it was a coincidence.
