At this moment, Shen Mengting suddenly stood up. “I need to go out and take this call. It’s too loud in here, I can’t hear anything.”
“Mmm. Go ahead!” Wen Xinya saw Shen Mengting walking towards the back of the bar.
Shen Mengting went to the washroom. Her palm was covered in sweat and dirt as she washed her hands.
The ice-cold water relieved her anxiety. She put her fingers inside her mouth to induce vomiting then bent over the basin, puking non-stop.
Even the smelly gastric juice was vomited out. She turned on the tap to gargle and washed her face to calm down.
Her phone rang at this moment. Shen Mengting took it out and pressed the answer button. “Aunt Ning, I’ve brought Wen Xinya to Bird of Paradise as you required. Zhou Tianyu and Xu Tongxuan came with us. I ordered the Bird of Paradise for them all.”
Ning Shuqian, on the other side of the phone, was enjoying an essential oil massage at Floral Lingo Pavilion. “Well done. Wen Xinya this little b*tch is always cunning. Did she suspect anything?”
Shen Mengting quickly replied, “Aunt Ning, don’t worry. She didn’t suspect anything. She trusts me with all her heart ever since I blocked the hot soup for her. I suggested to come to Bird of Paradise today and she agreed.”
Ning Shuqian was exhilarated. She knew that it was easy for an honest person like Shen Mengting to gain trust from others. “All right. Did she drink the drugged cocktail?”
Shen Mengting tightened her grasp and said, “Yes. I was afraid that they were gonna suspect me, so I took the initiative to drink first. Wen Xinya followed me and drank some. I think I’ll just say that I had no idea about the drugged cocktail if they ask me later. Anyway, they won’t suspect me because all of us drank it.”
Shen Mengting’s words made Ning Shuqian very happy. She knew this girl was clever. “I’m sorry I made it difficult for you. There are a lot of white pills in the cocktail. You didn’t ask me and just drank that… If anything happens…”
Of course, Shen Mengting knew what was added to the cocktail. But she didn’t care because she wanted to gain trust from Ning Shuqian and Wen Xinya. “Aunt Ning, don’t worry. I’ve vomited it out already. The remnants of the drug are unable to cause addiction.”
Ning Shuqian said in a gentle tone, “Good girl. Sorry I made it difficult for you.”
“Don’t say that, Aunt Ning. I dropped out of school before. If it weren’t for you, I would never be able to study at Lan Feng Institute and my mother wouldn’t get treatments at the nursing house. You’re my benefactor. There is nothing wrong for me to do you such a small favor.”
Ning Shuqian raised her brow. “Please don’t say that. Your mother and I are old friends. I will not turn a blind eye when she needs help.”
Shen Mengting was touched and said, “Thank you, Aunt Ning!”
Ning Shuqian said, “I’ve already contacted the US college which Yuya is in. After this thing’s over, I’ll send you there. As for your mother, I’ll get someone to look after her at the nursing home.”
“Really?” said Shen Mengting, pleasantly surprised.
