Chapter 341 - The Beautiful and Noble Mrs. Chu (1/2)

”Didn't you say before that it wasn't poison but medicine to stabilize his emotions?” Li Manni yelled, losing control of her emotions. She wrung her hands tightly together. If she could turn back time, she would never believe his nonsense again. She was too afraid at that time, afraid that the marriage she had gotten from her scheme would be easily destroyed. Chu Lui loved Xia Yixuan and hated Xia Ruoxin. She did not know what was in his heart so she believed it easily, the words of the man who had suddenly appeared.

He said he could help her so he gave her the medicine, telling her to put it in Chu Lui's coffee every morning. It would help to soothe his mood and aid sleep, and this went on for four years. Indeed, Chu Lui stopped showing other emotions and was loyal to their marriage. He doted on her and treated her well, but she still did not know whether he loved her or not.

Perhaps she had known from the start that he did not love her, and that was why she believed this man's nonsense.

She gave him medicine, not poison.

Absolutely not poison.

The man let out a big laugh. In front of him, Li Manni felt foolish and childish. How could she believe his words at that time? Hearing the word 'poison' from his mouth scared her so much she wanted to go crazy.

Was he really alright after drinking that kind of coffee for four years?

No, no, he was always healthy. There was no way he was unwell. This man must be lying to her.

”Stop lying to me. It is not the ancient times now, and yet you're poisoning someone?” Li Manni lifted her chin, refusing to let this man know her weakness, yet she did not know he had long seized her greatest weakness, one that she feared most. His hands were already around her neck, squeezing and cutting her circulation.

”Is that so?” The man sneered with his arms crossed. ”Then, beautiful and noble Mrs. Chu, if I tell your husband about this, will he believe me?”

Li Manni heart clenched, and she snorted. ”Of course, he wouldn't believe you.” However, she evaded his eyes. Chu Lui was a suspicious man by nature. There was no smoke without fire. He might not believe him, but it did not mean he would not suspect her. He wasn't a fool. He was a businessman, a very successful one at that.

Therefore, even though Li Manni appeared extremely confident, she was starting to feel guilty, for she really did not know.

”Oh, Mrs. Chu. Lets' go try, shall we? Let's see if Chu Lui believes an outsider like me, or a kind and gentle woman like you?” The man pursed his lips in disdain as he said the words 'kind and gentle'. It was all fake. The truth was this woman was scheming beyond imagination.

”If someone knew that the young lady of the Chu Group had poisoned her husband, it might make you more well-known, even though you're already very well-known.

”A woman who is treasured and beloved by Chu Lui will make many envious and jealous, do you believe?” The man turned away from her. ”You will end up worse and more pitiful than Xia Ruoxin four years ago.”

The man walked forwards slowly. He walked extremely slowly with a hint of a gleeful smile at the corner of his lips. He was waiting for the woman's reaction, and it definitely would not disappoint him. Just thinking about it made him excited, stirred him up, and…

… made his whole body tremble.
