Chapter 77 - Antidepressant Drugs (1/2)
Dining room.
Lunch was served the moment they settled down.
”Mo Chen, little Xi, sit beside me today,” Grandpa Ji said happily.
Mo Xi and Jing Mo Chen sat beside grandpa Ji obediently and Mo Xi started to look at the food in front of her. Grandpa Ji thought that Mo Xi was very hungry, so he chuckled and picked up his bowl of soup to drink. As grandpa Ji was about to drink the soup, Mo Xi stopped him immediately as she sensed a different scent coming from grandpa Ji's bowl of soup.
”Grandpa Ji, please wait.”
”Mm? What's wrong?”
”There's something wrong with the soup.”
”What?!” Ji Tian Ping asked in shock.
”Grandpa Ji's soup had been drugged.”
”How could it be?!”
”There are antidepressant drugs in the soup, this is the cause of grandpa Ji having signs of early dementia. In fact, grandpa Ji doesn't have early dementia, his memory problems were caused by the antidepressant drugs,” Mo Xi explained calmly.
”WHAT?!” Grandpa Ji and Ji Tian Ping were shocked once again.
”Who did it?!” Ji Tian Ping asked the servants around the dining room angrily.
The servants were all frightened by the sudden uproar and they kept quiet.
Mo Xi looked at all the servants in their eyes and didn't spot anyone who could have done it.
”It might be the cook,” Mo Xi said.
”Go get the cook here immediately!” Ji Tian Ping shouted.
”Yes, Sir!” The butler replied and left the room.
Two minutes later, a woman appeared.
Mo Xi looked at her and knew it was her.
The woman looked at Ji Tian Ping happily.
”Were you the one that drugged my father's food?!”
The woman's eyes wavered for a moment and said, ”Drug old master's food? Was the old master's food drugged?! Who?! Who did it?!”
Mo Xi scoffed and said, ”Your acting needs to be improved.”
”Are you saying that I am the one who drugged old master's food?! Sir, do you believe what she said? I have been serving this house for years, you know me the best, right?” Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke.
Playing white lotus? I will show you how to act like a white lotus!
”Brother Yang, Uncle Ji, Grandpa Ji, although we have just met, I mean well for all of you… If… If you all don't believe what I said… Then… I will leave now… It would be best if I don't come here again…” Mo Xi said with teary eyes.
Ji Zheng Yang chuckled as he saw how Mo Xi played white lotus. On the other hand, Ji Tian Ping and grandpa Ji were really worried because they really like Mo Xi.
”I suggest that you be honest with us while we are still patient,” Ji Tian Ping said quickly.
”I am speaking the truth! I didn't!”
