Chapter 116 – Go see if the Madam has anything to do with it (1)

The gift that Zhong Yuhuan had prepared for Father Lang was a cashmere scarf. It was easy to tell that it was of good quality, but it could only be so expensive even if she had gotten a top-of-the-line one.

Zhong Yuhuan had stayed to crash at the Lang’s after dinner.

She was arranged to stay in the room that was close to Lang Jinzhi’s. Since then, the servants at the Lang’s were much more respectful toward her. They no longer looked down on her because her mother had died and she had been “exiled” overseas by her father.

Shortly after she had settled in, Lang Jinzhi came knocking on her door, along with him was Secretary Cheng.

Zhong Yuhuan let them inside her room and seated them.

Secretary Cheng, being a people person, didn’t feel awkward at all and started saying in a low voice, “Mr. Zhong had a fall at the equestrian club last August and his patella (knee cap) was stepped on by a horse. He has yet to recover from that. Back then, Ms. Xu was partly being stubborn and also partly trying it out. She wanted to regain his favor toward her from taking good care of him.

Towards the end of last year and Xu Xing’s birthday, Mr. Zhong had sent out invitations to his birthday party, and there were rumors in the circle that Mr. Zhong was getting ready to officially recognize Xu Xing as his son. But the birthday party was cancelled later on. And this year, Mr. Zhong’s health started to deteriorate…

All the way up to last month, Mr. Zhong suddenly passed out and was sent to the hospital. Trace amount of arsenic was found in him and his family doctor had already disappeared.”

Upon hearing that, Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t help but sigh. She said, “And here I thought she would have better tricks up her sleeves.”

Was Xu Yunhui vicious? She didn’t kill Zhong Chi after all. Was Xu Yunhui not vicious? But she did plot against the man whom she had shared the same bed with for so many years.

One way or another, it was none of her business.

All Zhong Yuhuan felt was a shred of sadness for the original owner.

She wondered if Zhong Chi would regret now that he didn’t treat Ding Ruxue and her daughter better than he did.

Secretary Cheng stopped and looked at Zhong Yuhuan carefully. He seemed to worry that the news would have upset her.

“How is he doing now?” asked Zhong Yuhuan.
