Chapter 578: 578, The Cunning of a Bad Woman
But Huo Jingshen’s current behaviour undoubtedly paid full respect to his father-in-law.
So overall, Su Yuntang was feeling comfortable tonight, his face was red, and he kept drinking, the breeze was blowing, and the toasts were continuous. He was simply on cloud nine.
Halfway through the banquet, Su Wanwan could no longer hold back, “Husband, I’m going to the rest room.”
“Do you want me to go with you?”
Su Wanwan coughed twice, “No need, I can go myself.”
Jiang Yi at the side laughed and said, “Wanwan, let Aunt Yang accompany you.”
Huo JingShen didn’t forget to remind her, “Bring your cellphone with you.”
“Okay.”
At this moment, Jiang Yi’s brother and sister-in-law came over with wine glasses to toast. Su Wanwan stood up and followed Aunt Yang outside.
After using the restroom, she said, “Aunt Yang, you go back first, I’ll go to the terrace for some fresh air.”
“Of course, Miss.”
Not long after Yang Aunt left, Su Wanwan was sitting on the terrace sofa playing with her mobile phone, Qiao Zixin suddenly walked over there, “Wanwan, why are you here all alone?”
Su Wanwan had a thought, her lips curved, and she looked up at her, “Cousin, why did you come here?”
“I don’t know those people, it’s no fun.” Qiao Zixin came and sat next to her, “Wanwan, would you like something to drink?”
“…” Su Wanwan smiled, so eager, huh?
She said, “Ask the waiter what they have. Anyway, I can’t drink alcohol.”
Qiao Zixin smiled and stood up, called a waiter over, “Do you have any beverages here?”
The waiter handed over a drink menu, “We have various freshly squeezed juices, yogurt, and mineral water.”
Su Wanwan took it, looked through, and then gave it to Qiao Zixin, “Cousin, you decide.”
Qiao Zixin rifled through it for a while and finally said, “Let’s have a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Wanwan, what would you like to drink?”
Su Wanwan smiled, “I’ll have the same as cousin.”
Qiao Zixin immediately said, “Waiter, two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice.”
“Okay, please wait.”
After the waiter left, Su Wanwan took out her cellphone and started playing a game.
After a while, Qiao Zixin also picked up her mobile phone, “Why is my cellphone out of battery? Wanwan, I’ll go back to the room to charge it.”
“Okay.” Su Wanwan silently watched her leaving figure.

Qiao Zixin went straight to the counter providing drinks, “When will the two glasses of orange juice I ordered be ready?”
“They will be ready soon, please wait.”
Soon, the waiter came over with a tray, “Miss, your freshly squeezed orange juice is here. Would you like me to send them over for you?”
“No need, I’ll take them myself.”
“Alright.”
The waiter left the tray and left.
Qiao Zixin quickly looked around, and when no one was paying attention, she took out a small medicine bottle and poured the powder into one of the glasses.
Fortunately, she asked for a large amount of the drug this time.
After ensuring that all the powder had completely dissolved, at a glance, no trace could be found in the two glasses of orange juice, Qiao Zixin put the drugged glass on the left and held up the tray to the terrace.
From a distance, she saw Su Wanwan still playing with her cellphone with her head down.
Hehe.
Still playing while her death is imminent?
Wait, soon she would be stark naked, utterly disgraced!
Let’s see how she could lift her head afterwards!
Last time at the club, she was lucky and dodged it, not this time.
Even if a trace of the drug is found later, the Huo family will certainly not tolerate her anymore.
The more Qiao Zixin thought about it, the more excited she became, her steps became unstable with excitement.
Finally, she reached her and put down the tray, sounding as usual, “Wanwan, the drinks are here.”
Su Wanwan lifted her head, glanced at the two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice on the tray, “Cousin, why did you bring it here yourself, where is the waiter?”
“There are too many people over there, they are too busy, I saw it and just helped to bring it over.”
Su Wanwan smiled, picked up the juice in front of her, and put it in front of her.
Qiao Zixin quickly sat down and picked up the other glass.
She was excited to see Su Wanwan lift up the orange juice, about to touch her lips, but Su Wanwan suddenly put the glass back again.
“What’s wrong?”
Su Wanwan asked, “Cousin, did you find your charger?”
“Huh?” Qiao Zixin was startled for a moment, only then remembered that she had just said she was going to look for her charger, quickly laughed and said, “I’ve let the waiter charge it already.”
Su Wanwan nodded, picking up the orange juice. Just as she was about to bring it to her lips, she suddenly stopped.
Qiao Zixin frowned.
What’s the matter with this little brat now?
Su Wanwan smiled, asking, “Cousin, why didn’t you take a straw?”
A black line appeared on Qiao Zixin’s face, “I forgot.”
“Then it’s troublesome for cousin. No straw, I’m afraid my lipstick will smudge.”
Qiao Zixin: “…”
This brat, so fussy! Does she really think I’m her waiter?
However, she had no choice. Feeling trapped in this place for a long time and fearing Huo Jingshen might find her and foil her plan, she had to stand up.
Anyway, making a trip back and forth would only take less than a minute.
“I’ll go get it.”
“Okay.”
Su Wanwan watched her turn away, and when the coast was clear, she quickly switched the two glasses of juice in front of her.
Having done this, she heaved a sigh of relief and drank slowly from the glass in front of her.
Soon, Qiao Zixin came back.
Perhaps for fear of Su Wanwan making more requests, she also brought a spoon and napkins.
Upon returning, she immediately handed the straw to Su Wanwan, “Wanwan, here’s the straw.”
“Thank you, cousin.”
Qiao Zixin noticed that Su Wanwan had already sipped on her orange juice and couldn’t help but scold her again.
She sat down, sipping on the orange juice in front of her, while her eyes continually stole glances at Su Wanwan, watching her slowly drink. She almost couldn’t contain her laughter.
It was not easy to suppress her wildly upturned lips. As soon as Su Wanwan finished her orange juice, she finished hers too, stood up and said, “I’ll go check my phone, the boss said there’s a case he wants me to look at.”
Su Wanwan pretended to ask, “Isn’t today the second day of the new year? You’re still checking company emails?”
“Ah, there’s no option. When you work for someone else and they ask you to work, you cannot refuse. I’ll come back right away.”
Su Wanwan nodded, watching her happily leave. The smile on her face slowly faded.
She’s this happy?
Looking at the empty glass in front of her, Su Wanwan couldn’t help but smile again.
“Wanwan, so you’re here.”
Su Wanwan hid her smile and looked up.
It’s Jiang Quanyi again.
His shameless gaze was hardly hidden.
Su Wanwan felt annoyed, her face showed it, she got up and left.
“Wanwan, hey, where are you going? Wanwan, Wanwan!” Regardless of how many times Jiang Quanyi called, he was ignored.
This cheeky girl, does she need to be so arrogant?
If it wasn’t for the special occasion today, Jiang Quanyi would have taken action long ago.
Just let her be proud for a few more days!
Jiang Quanyi drained the red wine in his glass, put down the glass, and stepped out as well.
Just as he stepped outside, Qiao Zixin suddenly appeared in front of him, “Brother Jiang.”
Jiang Quanyi frowned at her, “Miss Qiao, what can I do for you?”
Qiao Zixin smiled and said, “I was thinking of getting a gym membership, I heard Brother Jiang runs a gym?”
“Yes.” Jiang Quanyi hit jackpot since he was bored anyway.
Today’s event was mostly men. Those who brought family were mostly elders. Apart from relatives, there were few young women present.
This Qiao Zixin, although not as pure and pretty as Su Wanwan, had proper features and especially a great figure. Her deep V backless red gown was extremely dazzling, enough to make his soul rise and sink.
“Brother Jiang, are you interested in having a drink together?” Qiao Zixin was scheming in her heart as well.
Her original plan was to have Su Wanwan drink the doctored beverage, figure out the timing, take her to the resting room and find a random male waiter to come in.
However, this Jiang Quanyi seemed more suitable than the male waiter.
He is Jiang Yi’s elder nephew, a playboy and divorcee. The reason for his divorce was suspected to be domestic violence.
Standing at 1.8 meters, tall, strong and chubby, with muscles all over his body, she was sure he would make Su Wanwan suffer!
If people were to find out that Su Wanwan was fooling around with him in the resting room, even though they were not blood relatives, as relatives, this explosive news would be shocking enough.
The more Qiao Zixin thought about it, the more excited she became, “Brother Jiang, I’ve booked a resting room, why don’t we go there for a chat? It’s more quiet.”
Jiang Quanyi readily agreed, “Sure.”
He knew that Qiao Zixin had had quite a few boyfriends before. She was already 25 and still unmarried, certainly well-versed in having a good time.
