Chapter 1319 - 1333: From Love to Hate
Xiao Xiao and the others, all medical students, are familiar with such emergency contraceptives, and Wang Xia’s behavior seems utterly insane to them.
"Maybe she never intended to have Jia Chenggang’s child."
People like Wang Xia are selfish and self-serving, using even their own son for their own motives. Is there anything she wouldn’t do?
"Speaking of which, Sister-in-law, I really owe you a toast for earlier. If it weren’t for you, I’d probably be meeting King Yan now," thinking back to Wang Xia pulling out the fruit knife earlier truly terrified her. If Lin Ruonan hadn’t been there, she’d never have dodged that knife in time.
"What are you talking about, Second Sister-in-law? It’s what I should do. But are you sure this person is the widow of Xingfeng’s comrade-in-arms he’s been helping?"
Lin Ruonan had heard Mu Xingfeng was always looking after a comrade-in-arms’ widow, but Wang Xia’s conduct couldn’t be farther from the image of a martyr’s family.
"Ah, love turning into hate," An Ran remarked humorously.
Lin Ruonan covered her mouth with a chuckle, "Now I kind of sympathize with Second Sister-in-law. Honestly, her eyes were always fixed on Second Brother, thinking he was perfect, even believing there was no other man like him in the world. Later, she found out..."
Lin Ruonan paused at this point, seeing An Ran’s teasing gaze and feeling a bit embarrassed to continue, so she coughed lightly, "Later, she found out there are more good men in the world than just him."
An Ran knew Lin Ruonan’s implied half-sentence wouldn’t end like that; otherwise, she wouldn’t have said she sympathized with her earlier. So she laughed and filled in, "Should be more like, later discovered that Brother is actually better than Second Brother, at least wouldn’t leave such romantic debts."
"Second Sister-in-law, you..." Lin Ruonan didn’t expect her teasing to be met with teasing, and felt slightly annoyed.
An Ran and Xiao Xiao covered their mouths in laughter, and finally, An Ran said, "I say Sister-in-law, I call you Sister-in-law, you call me Second Sister-in-law, it sounds so awkward. Anyway, since you’re soon marrying Brother, even Xingfeng will call you Sister-in-law. You should just call me by name."
"Alright."
Lin Ruonan didn’t refuse, smiling as she picked up a piece of steamed fish, but the moment she put it into her mouth, she frowned, quickly spat out the fish, then covered her mouth and dry-heaved twice before running to the restroom.
"What happened?"
An Ran and Xiao Xiao didn’t delay and followed her.
In the restroom, Lin Ruonan turned on the faucet, already stopped dry-heaving, but her face was pale, and her eyes were red.
"Ruonan, you didn’t drink that beverage earlier, did you?" Xiao Xiao remembered the spiked drink from before and asked uncertainly.
Lin Ruonan shook her head, calming her emotions and turning to reassure the two of them, "It’s nothing, just suddenly found the fish very fishy."
"Fishy? An Ran blinked her eyes, she had eaten the fish earlier too and found it quite fresh with no hint of fishiness.
"I thought it was fine too," Xiao Xiao stepped forward to support Lin Ruonan, "Could there be something else in the food?"
"How could there be? Didn’t you see the duty manager practically serving us himself?" Lin Ruonan smiled, raising her chin.
They’re not some heinous villains, where does all the conspiracy come from?
And given what happened earlier, how many would dare take advantage of the situation once more?
