Chapter 314 - Wan Qingsi Dumped Her (1/2)
On the way to the hospital, Zheng Gege started throwing up. At the hospital, she was admitted to the ER immediately, where her stomach was pumped. After that, she was brought to a ward where the doctor asked her what she ate before her stomach began hurting.
“Is she alright now?” Ah Sha asked.
The doctor looked at Ah Sha in surprise. Clearly, the doctor had recognized Ah Sha as Mei Jing. The doctor recovered and said, “She’s fine now. At the moment, our preliminary diagnosis is that she has food poisoning. But we’ll only know the main cause after the test report comes out.”
Ah Sha nodded and thanked the doctor. The young doctor had asked to take a selfie with Ah Sha, which she agreed to. Before the doctor left, he requested Zheng Gege to get more rest.
“What do you think caused your food poisoning?” Ah Sha asked, taking a seat beside the bed.
Zheng Gege shook her head. “No idea,” she said. “I had some buns this morning. After that, I drank my fruit tea, then your cookies—” She paused all of a sudden. “Ah, I wasn’t accusing you… I mean I don’t think it’s the cookies—”
“I know,” Ah Sha said, cutting her off. “I ate the cookies too.”
“Could it be my tea?” Zheng Gege wasn’t an idiot. It couldn’t have been the stuff she ate for breakfast since she had them every day. Ah Sha never drank the fruit tea. She was the only one who drank it.
Ah Sha patted Zheng Gege’s hand. “Hey, just rest for now, okay? You’ll know once the test results come out tomorrow.”
Ah Sha told Wan Qingsi everything when she got home that night. For the past few days, Wan Qingsi had been spending all his time during the day at Stars Entertainment, only dropping by Ying’s residence at night. Not a single one of those days did he pick up Ah Sha from the movie set. That alone had put him in a foul mood for a few days straight. His mood worsened when he heard about the food poisoning incident at the movie set today.
“You don’t think it’s an accident?” Wan Qingsi was holding Ah Sha in his arms, kissing the skin of her arm.
Feeling ticklish, Ah Sha pushed him away. “I keep having this feeling that I was the intended target.”
“The tea was meant for you. If you drank it, you’d be the one in the hospital right now,” Wan Qingsi said, pulling Ah Sha back into his arms. “But what can they achieve by giving you food poisoning?”
“Tang Yue and Wen Pinyu had been quiet for a long time,” Ah Sha said. “I think they’re probably going to make a move soon.”
Wan Qingsi frowned. “I’ll look into it. But yeah, they’re most likely to be the ones behind this.”
“What about the fake Ying Xin?” Ah Sha said, snorting. “She isn’t sleeping in my room, I hope.”
“No. She wanted to do so!” Wan Qingsi pinched Ah Sha’s butt. “Mother had locked your room a long time ago. The cover story is that there’s a leaking pipe in your room that hasn’t been repaired.”
“Does she look exactly like me?”
“We can already tell that something’s wrong from a photo, let alone in person.” Wan Qingsi lowered his head and kissed her. “Why, are you still jealous? Hm?”
“I just feel disgusted, that’s all,” Ah Sha growled. “Some random person pops out of nowhere wearing my face every day? It’s disgusting.”
“Guess what mother told me yesterday in secret? She said that the fake has terrible table manners. My mother thinks she looks ugly when she eats. She is definitely not as cute as you are!” Then Wan Qingsi looked as though he’d just thought of something. “You know, when Chengcheng came back, we didn’t tell him about the fake Ying Xin. Guess what happened? After a while, he went to Ying Qingcang and told him, ‘Father, why does sis look so weird all of a sudden?'”
“So, you guys told him already?”
Wan Qingsi nodded. “The impersonator will feel even more confident if Chengcheng plays along. She’d think that she had successfully fooled everyone.”
“It’s been days already. She didn’t say she wanted to come to Stars Entertainment?” Ah Sha frowned. “Also, didn’t she try to do intimate stuff with you?”
“Haha!” Wan Qingsi touched her forehead with his. “Don’t worry, babe. I never let her touch me.”
Ah Sha hugged Wan Qingsi and let out two sounds, which, to Wan Qingsi, sounded way too sulky. “If she never tried to make any moves on you,” Ah Sha said, “it means that she has no intention of entering the showbiz. Which means that her target must be Xin Enterprises.”
“See? I’ve said from the start that she’s targeting Xin Enterprises,” Wan Qingsi said, pausing in thought. “At first, I was hoping that she’d come to me. But now, it’s clear that she’s trying to enter Xin Enterprises. Mother will be pissed for sure…”
When he saw the frown marring Ah Sha’s forehead, Wan Qingsi tightened his arms around her. “Hey, it’s going to be alright,” he said. “Your daddy wouldn’t let your mommy get hurt!”
When Ah Sha wrapped up work on the movie set the next day, she took a trip down to the hospital to visit Zheng Gege. This time, the production crew, including Director Lin Dong, tagged along as well. Lin Dong figured that since the reporters had already found out about what happened, he might as well take the opportunity to do some interviews and give their upcoming movie more publicity.
Zheng Gege’s test results came out.
“You told me she only drank fruit tea, right? But how come we detect shrimp powder in her stomach?” said the doctor, handing the report to Ah Sha. “Hawthorns and shrimps don’t mix at all. They’ll cause food poisoning if consumed together.”
“That’s strange…” said a member of the production crew, “How come we’ve never heard of anyone getting food poisoning from that?”
The doctor laughed. “Consuming shrimp and hawthorn together isn’t what normal people would do!” said the doctor, glancing at Ah Sha. Ah Sha nodded at the doctor. She understood what the doctor was trying to tell her. “Thank you, doctor!” she said.
The showbiz was a breeding ground for wickedness and immorality. The doctor was aware that someone had deliberately spiked the fruit tea with shrimp powder. Even so, the truth of the matter was none of his business, instead of dwelling on it further, he reminded Zheng Gege not to consume any greasy foods for the next few days before he left the room to take care of her discharge procedure.
“Zheng Gege made the fruit tea, right?” Hao Yuan suddenly said. “She made it for Sister Mei Jing.”
Ah Sha’s eyes darted to the side briefly to look at her. “Why are you here?” Ah Sha asked.
“Oh, we’re all colleagues. Of course, I should visit her if something happens to her!” Hao Yuan answered with a smile. “Good thing you’re okay. Otherwise, the boss would be worried.”
