Chapter 144: 144: Poison Eruption_1
Just as I was about to retort, he reached out and covered my mouth.
It was only then that Jiang Jiaying noticed me.
From the moment she walked in, she had been talking to Su Peisheng and Ding Yinuo and seemed not to have noticed me at all.
But after Ding Yinuo spoke, she focused her attention on me.
“Yinuo, is she your girlfriend?”
“Yes!”
“Hmm . . . Her, I’ve never seen her before?”
“Well, it’s normal if you don’t recognize her. We’ve only been dating for less than half a year.”
“Oh, oh . . .”
The smile on Jiang Jiaying’s face visibly began to fade.
Then, out of politeness, she asked about my profession. Of course, she asked Ding Yinuo, not me.
“What does your girlfriend do?”
“She’s not working at the moment!”
Ding Yinuo didn’t seem to want to say more.
Only then did Jiang Jiaying smile and say,
“Yinuo, you really are a good man! There aren’t many men these days who are willing to financially support their girlfriends.”
Ding Yinuo still held me tightly by my shoulders, almost embracing my entire body in his arms.
“The reason other men don’t support their girlfriends is that they can’t afford it. I can! I can support her for a lifetime; Ding Yinuo’s woman doesn’t need to struggle for a living.”
“Tsk, tsk, I’ve been force-fed so much PDA late into the night!”
After chatting for a while, Su Peisheng got up to leave,
“I have some business to take care of. I have to go. Ding, since I’ve brought her here to you, you’d better put in a good word for me if your brother calls.”
“You’re leaving now?”
“What else?”
Ding Yinuo desperately signaled Su Peisheng with his eyes to take Jiang Jiaying away. But Su Peisheng shrugged,
“If you have any questions, ask your brother. It’s not my business.”
With that, Su Peisheng really took off.
Ding Yinuo could only ask Jiang Jiaying,
“It’s late. Shall I take you to a hotel?”
“No, I see that you have many guest rooms here, and I’ve already put my luggage in one. I’ll stay here tonight and find a hotel tomorrow!”
“Well . . . okay then.”
I hadn’t expected that Jiang Jiaying, after learning Ding Yinuo had a girlfriend, still insisted on staying. It seemed she had strong feelings for Ding Yinuo.
I wasn’t in a good mood and didn’t feel like dealing with their situation.
“Yinuo, could you help me understand how to use the things in the room?”
“Okay!”
Next, Ding Yinuo went to settle Jiang Jiaying in.
I found a quiet room, thinking about today’s events.
By now, it had been four or five hours since Gu Yuanzhou drank that cup of coffee.
Had he died yet from the poison?
Why hadn’t the police come to arrest me yet?
I had Gu Yuanzhou’s Wechat account on my phone, and I kept refreshing it to see if any new developments had appeared.
But there were none!
I also checked Ye Mengyan’s wechat, but there were no updates.
I stared at the wall clock. Time seemed unusually slow at this moment.
Seeing a pack of cigarettes on the table, I directly pulled out one and lit it with a lighter.
I took a deep breath…
Then came the severe coughing.
I wished I could be like those men who found relief in smoking. But in fact, I didn’t smoke.
The bout of coughing almost made me cough up my lungs.
Ding Yinuo rushed in, opened the window for ventilation, and at the same time took the cigarette from my hand.
“Trying to smoke when you don’t even know how?”
“Ding Yinuo, do you seriously think you’re my boyfriend? Mind your own business!”
“What’s gotten into you? You were fine just now. Why did you go crazy after seeing Jiang Jiaying?”
He tried to hold my face, but I pushed him away.
“Ding Yinuo, I think I should go.”
“Are you still angry about Gu Yuanzhou? If he fires you, he fires you. Are you afraid of not having a job? You can live without him! Why are you still so blind, why are you still saddened by this man after all this time?”
Ding Yinuo was somewhat agitated.
I gently pushed him away.
After a long silence, I said,
“I’ve already killed him!”
“What?”
“The poison, the one you gave me, I’ve already given it to him! Ding Yinuo, I don’t intend to implicate you any more. I’ll leave right away.”
The moment I turned to walk away, Ding Yinuo caught my arm from behind and gently pulled me into his arms.
Then, unexpectedly, he started to laugh.
“Good!”
“Good what?”
“You finally dared to take action against him?”
“He, uh… he deserves to die! He dared to harm my uncle and aunt!”
“So, I ask you, if he dies, will you regret it?”
He asked, staring at my eyes.
“I don’t know if I will regret it in the future, but I don’t regret it now.”
“Are you sure it was him that poisoned your aunt?”
“Flower Auntie said! That batch of health products were sent by Gu Yuanzhou, if not him, then who?”
“What if it wasn’t?”
“I don’t know, Ding Yinuo, I hate Gu Yuanzhou right now! Only his death can appease my hatred.”
“So, you no longer love him, do you?”
“No love, of course not!”
Hearing this, Ding Yinuo smiled.
“What are you smiling at? This time I didn’t do it cleanly, leaving many traces! If he really dies, the police will investigate me. So, Ding Yinuo, I better leave here.”
Ding Yinuo stopped me,
“It’s okay, trust me, I won’t let anything happen to you. You’re not going anywhere tonight, you’re going to stay here.”
After speaking, he took my hand and led me to the master bedroom.
“You’re sleeping here tonight.”
“No, you ..”
I was about to retort when he suddenly put a finger to my lips and pushed me onto the bed…
Then, footsteps sounded, I lifted my head to see Jiang Jiaying. She had stormed into the bedroom.
Seeing our suggestive position, she awkwardly excused herself and left,
“Sorry, I got lost, this house is too big. You two carry on!”
She turned and walked out.
Only then did Ding Yinuo get up and tell me,
“You know, Jiang Jiaying’s father is a director in some department… My brother’s company is at his mercy. Please, for my brother’s sake, could you help me entertain her?”
“I should help you? Does this really need my help? Don’t you want to renew old feelings with Miss Jiang?”
“What are you talking about? She’s not an old flame!”
“Then who is?”
“Ayun, you idiot, haven’t you figured it out yet?”
He shook his head, the smile in his eyes mocking me for being a fool, but he never said the name out loud.
Until my phone rang. I glanced at it, it was a call from Ye Mengyan. When I answered it, she was howling at me through the phone.
“Song Xiaoyun, how dare you poison Gu Yuanzhou? Have you lost your mind?”
