Indeed, Chen Chen’s next words confirmed Bai Ran’s guess.

“The doctor said that Hu Wan took an overdose of atropine tablets, which caused her heart rate to rise rapidly.” Chen Chen’s grip on the cup was already turning white.

“When an ordinary person’s heart rate rises, they will be fine after a while. However, she is a heart patient. She can’t handle this frequency at all. She might die!”

“I asked her about it. She said that she only drank a cup of water at your place and felt that something was wrong.”

Chen Chen looked at the empty cup. “Is this it?”

“I did pour a cup of water for her, but it’s only water!” Bai Ran explained. At this moment, she understood the entire situation.

Hu Wan was really ruthless! In order to pull Chen Chen’s heart back, she was even willing to bet her life!

“Do you think I’ll believe you?” Chen Chen did not want to look at Bai Ran. He only stared at the cup with despair in his eyes.

What a pure face and a vicious heart!

“Wait!” Chen Chen seemed to have realized something and handed the cup to Bai Ran.

“Look at this!”

Bai Ran also focused her gaze and realized that there were still some translucent crystals on the cup’s rim.

Bai Ran’s first reaction was that Hu Wan had deliberately left this behind as evidence that she could not deny.

Bai Ran laughed at herself. She had underestimated Hu Wan. It turned out that a woman could be so scheming and crazy for her lover!

Two years could indeed change many things. She had changed, and so had Hu Wan.

“I’ll only say this once. I really didn’t drug this,” Bai Ran explained, but she did not argue too eagerly.

“And?” Chen Chen waited for her to continue.

“There’s nothing else. In short, I have a clear conscience,” Bai Ran said seriously.

She knew that she could not argue with this evidence in front of her.

Hu Wan had calculated every step.

But now, it was up to Chen Chen if he believed it or not.

If he was willing to use his brain to think about it, he would understand that it was impossible for Bai Ran to have such a drug that required a doctor to prescribe. She had just returned to the country, so where did she find the connections to prescribe these drugs?

Moreover, she would have to calculate everything. Would Hu Wan come looking for her again, and would she definitely drink the cup of water she gave her? It was obvious who would be able to do these things more accurately. It all depended on whether he was willing to think about it.

“Are you that proud? You can’t even be bothered to explain?” Chen Chen was a little disappointed.

“If explanations were useful, you wouldn’t be here to question me right now.” Bai Ran looked up and sneered. “You can come running over with just one sentence from Hu Wan. No matter how much I argue for myself, it’s meaningless.”

“As long as you’re willing to tell me, I’ll believe you.” Chen Chen put down the cup. At this moment, he already felt that something was wrong.

“I already told you, but you’re still asking me,” Bai Ran replied.

Bai Ran felt a little ironic. From the beginning to the end, Chen Chen had never trusted her.

“Whatever you think. Since you think I did it, then I did it. So hurry up and settle the procedures. Stay away from me, I’m a vicious woman!” Bai Ran said and started drying her hair again.

“So you want to divorce me as soon as possible?” Chen Chen looked at her in disbelief.

“Young Master Chen, no matter what I think, since you came here today because of a word from Hu Wan, it means that you care about Hu Wan’s feelings. Then please care more about her and give her the wedding she wants! Then, protect her well. Please guarantee that you won’t hurt her at all!” Bai Ran became agitated as she spoke, her entire body trembling.

“Why must all of you force me to get a divorce?!” Chen Chen’s mood became even more irritable.

He clenched his fists and hit the cup!

Smash!

The cup shattered, scaring Bai Ran.

“Why are you venting your anger on a cup of water?!” Bai Ran flung the towel away and got up to get a broom.

Chen Chen vented and felt much better. He sat on the sofa and watched Bai Ran clean the glass.

Bai Ran squatted down and cleaned it seriously to prevent future injuries, afraid that there would be any residual fragments.

After checking and confirming that there was nothing on the ground, Bai Ran was about to get up when she saw a small piece of glass under the coffee table.

Bai Ran reached out to grab it, but no matter how much she tried, she could not reach it.

Chen Chen looked at Bai Ran’s movements and said casually, “Isn’t it just some glass fragments? No one will touch the area under the coffee table either. It’s fine.”

Bai Ran did not reply. She continued to reach for the glass shard..
