The scene which had just occurred caused everyone at the dining table to look over.
Huo Chang Yuan's sharp eyes swept across the soup bowl on the ground, and then, he looked at the servant by his side. Not only was his face completely pale, there was even a bean-sized drop of sweat that fell from his temples.
Huo Chang Yuan narrowed his deep eyes and asked solemnly: "What's in this soup?"
As soon as the servant heard this, he became even more flustered than before. He shook his head to clear up the relations between them, "This has nothing to do with me, it was all Miss Chu Yu's orders!"
Hearing that he had been betrayed, Zheng Chu Yu was enraged.
Huo Chang Yuan immediately turned to face him and asked again, "What exactly is in this soup!"
Zheng Chu Yu was just like the last time in the hotel, a little scared in his heart. He never would have thought that a servant would be unable to handle such a small matter, and if not for the fact that the soup had a few more ingredients than the others, he would actually be so nervous.
Zheng Chu Yu curled his lips and muttered, "What else could it be, it's just diarrhea …"
"Rat poison!"
The servant kept his head lowered, thinking that Huo Chang Yuan was asking him questions repeatedly.
Rat medicine?
When the people at the dining table heard this, they were all shocked.
Lin Wan Bai looked at the bowl on the ground in disbelief, thinking that he had almost drunk it just now, he immediately felt fear, his palms started to sweat.
Seeing the shocked look in everyone's eyes, Zheng Chu Yu was confused, he looked at the servant and asked: "What nonsense are you spouting?"
The Old Master Lu's face was gloomy, he raised his hand and ordered the butler to come in, then picked up the soup on the ground and indicated for them to go and check.
A few minutes later, the butler returned and reported hesitantly, "Old Master, there is indeed rat poison in the soup …"
Almost at the same time, the sound of someone inhaling could be heard.
Amidst so many shocked and furious gazes, no one noticed that there was a trace of pity that fleeted across Lu Jing Xue's expression.
"What?" Zheng Chu Yu opened his eyes wide, as if he had also received a large shock.
The servant immediately cried, "Old Master, I'm sorry. I did everything according to Miss Chu Yu's orders. I didn't want to do it, but I'm just a servant. She gave me the medicine and told me to put it in the soup …"
Zheng Chu Yu pointed at the servant, until his fingers started to tremble from anger, "I gave you the thing myself, what's inside, how could I not know! "You did not do well, and now you are even accusing me unjustly!"
"Enough!" Old Master Lu knocked on his walking stick.
Seeing that Old Master Lu was really angry, Zheng Chu Yu was so anxious that his eyes turned red, tears quickly gushing out, "Grandfather, please listen to me, I was just trying to take a breath, I didn't think …"
"What else do you have to say? You admitted it yourself just a moment ago, that it was you who ordered the servants to do it. I thought that you were in the wrong, but to think that you would be so impudent! "It seems like Xufang has been too arrogant in the past few years!" Old Master Lu shook his head in disappointment.
"Grandfather, don't be angry. Be careful of your body!" Xiao Yu is still young, and doesn't understand much. It's normal for her to make mistakes, but luckily, nothing happened right now! " At this time, Lu Jing Xue stood up from her seat and carried a cup of water over. As she leaned over to stroke Old Master Lu's chest, she looked towards her cousin, "Xiao Yu, look at how infuriated Grandfather is.
"I won't!" Zheng Chu Yu, on the other hand, had a stubborn face, and was unwilling to admit that he had never done anything before.
Lu Xue Lin also felt pained and disappointed as he said, "Xiao Yu, you've really gone too far!"
"Uncle, I …" Zheng Chu Yu choked with sobs. Even she did not know how to defend herself, furthermore at this moment, no one at the table would believe her words.
The glow in Huo Chang Yuan's eyes became as hazy as the clouds in June, as he coldly spat out two words, "Call the police."
Using rat poison wasn't a simple prank anymore. It was impossible to do so easily.
"Call the police?" Old Master Lu took a deep breath, and Lu Xue Lin also frowned. After the father and son pair looked at each other, Old Master Lu had no choice but to open his mouth and say, "This … Since they were family, it was better to just call the police. Luckily, Wan Bai didn't drink that bowl of soup, otherwise he would have been in the hospital by now! Xiao Yu is indeed young, and what she did was just a moment of confusion. I believe she will realize her mistake, let's just let her off this time! "
No matter what, Zheng Chu Yu was still a member of the Lu Family.
Although it was infuriating to do such a thing, it was impossible to send her to the police. It was better to settle the matter at home. Her only hope was to marry her daughter. If he really did that, it would be difficult for him to explain himself to her.
Huo Chang Yuan's expression was cold, and did not move.
Seeing that he could not explain anything, Old Master Lu could only ask Lin Wan Bai for help.
After receiving her father's begging gaze, she knew that Huo Chang Yuan was trying to avenge her father, but she had to balance it over and over again, especially under her grandfather's and father's gaze, she could only pull his sleeve.
Huo Chang Yuan placed his palm on top of her and finally nodded his head.
Old Master Lu heaved a sigh of relief, stared angrily at his granddaughter, and said sternly: "I'll call your mother tomorrow and tell you to go back to England. Don't come back later if you have nothing else to do!"
Zheng Chu Yu bit his lips tightly, seeing that everyone was blaming himself with an angry look, he was infuriated and felt wronged at the same time. He stomped his feet, turned and ran out of the restaurant.
Seeing that, Lu Jing Xue spoke with worry: "Grandfather, I will go chase after her!"
"Ignore her!" Old Master Lu said.
After a soul-stirring meal, the family of three prepared to leave.
Just as he was about to open the car door to get in, he heard footsteps approaching from behind as well as someone calling his name.
"Lin Wan Bai!"
Lin Wan Bai turned his head and saw Zheng Chu Yu, who had run out from somewhere.
Thinking about the other party's actions, she couldn't help but take two steps back in alarm. As for Huo Chang Yuan, when the sound of footsteps rang out, he had already walked around the front of the car to her side, protecting her behind him with a sinister expression.
Lin Wan Bai frowned, he was angry, "Zheng Chu Yu, what are you trying to do?!"
Zheng Chu Yu didn't even look at Huo Chang Yuan, as if he didn't exist. She only stared at Zheng Chu Yu, "If I said that I didn't have any intention to poison you with rat poison, would you believe me?"
"…" Lin Wan Bai pursed his lips.
Seeing that she did not give a response, Zheng Chu Yu gritted his teeth and stubbornly said, "Forget it! Believe it or not! "
After saying that, he turned around and quickly ran away.
"Ignore her." Huo Chang Yuan turned around and put his arms around her shoulders.
Lin Wan Bai nodded her head, and when she got into the car, she could not help but turn back to look, and for some reason, at that moment, she suddenly wanted to believe in Zheng Chu Yu's words.
