Chapter 450 - Bitter Coffee (2/2)

”Do you want to see why I'm so confident that the baby in you is not mine?

”Do you also wish to see why I am not allowing you any leeway? Li Manni, no two may keep counsel putting one away in this world. As long as you have done it, someone will find out the truth one day.”

With her shaking hands, Li Manni flipped through the doc.u.ment. Her expression became more dramatic as she read. Before she could finish reading, there was a loud slap. Her hands were grabbing at her hair. This wasn't possible. How could it be? Didn't he say that this was medicine for nerve suppression? He said this wasn't poison. Even if it really was—with modern medicine being so developed, how could it eliminate a man's fertility?

However, that was the way it was supposed to be. Mi Dongfeng had really done it. He had obtained the medicine from somewhere, used a woman's unwillingness to reconcile with her fate, and a man's trust for his plan to succeed. It had been four years since Chu Lui had consumed the medicine. Why wasn't it detected during his body checkups all these years? To put it simply, the medicine wasn't easy to detect. As long as the man was not checking on his fertility, no one would have thought of it.

It was stated clearly in the report. Within the first year of consuming this medicine, it would greatly affect a man's fertility. After two years, that man would lose his ability to get a woman pregnant. Chu Lui had been taking it for the past four years. There was no way he could have conceived a child with any woman.

Song Wan was feeling sorrowful at the sight of the report. Her body wavered, and she fell on the floor.

Du Jingtang was stunned. He quickly moved and carried Song Wan onto the sofa. He shoved everything that was on the sofa onto the floor to make space for Song Wan. He almost landed a kick at Li Manni who was occupying most of it.

”Auntie. Auntie, how are you feeling?” He kept patting his hand on Song Wan's cheek. She opened her eyes and felt her hand on that doc.u.ment. There were no tears in her eyes, although she was sad. She gave Du Jingtang everything she was holding.

Then, she laid her hands over her face and covered her eyes. That was a feeling of despair and heartache.

Du Jingtang was stunned. He stood up and read the report page by page. His expression became worse as he read. Suddenly, he had the urge to destroy that report.

He finished the last page.

Finally, he understood. He truly understood why his cousin had changed overnight and not bothered about what was happening to the Li family's company. Chu Lui's tolerance was indeed high. If it had happened to Du Jingtang, he would rather risk everything and bear the murder charges so as to kill Li Manni, that vicious woman.

Wait. He recalled something.

”Cousin, did you realize something wrong with your coffee?” he suddenly asked. Li Manni froze at his question. A look of panic flashed across her eyes. Du Jingtang registered everything about her. Naturally, so did Chu Lui.

”The coffee she made is always too bitter.” Chu Lui put stress on each word as he replied. He was staring intently at Li Manni's face. Until now, he was still in disbelief. The one who had made him like this was the same person who had been sleeping beside him for the past four years. The same person who had fed him the medicine so easily without his knowledge.

”That's right.” Du Jingtang stepped forward. ”I've seen it with my own eyes. She had put something in your coffee. It happened more than once. She said it was cocoa powder. At that time, I was puzzled. How can your taste bud be so strange to love that kind of thing? So, that was not cocoa powder, but poison.”
