Chapter 381 - 374: Yiran Shines, Part 3
Seeing the attendant at that moment, Luna and Qi Hui’s hearts instantly jumped into their throats. They looked at Bai Yiran in disbelief and avoided her eyes when they met Bai Yiran’s clear gaze.
For some reason, looking into Bai Yiran’s eyes made them feel uneasy.
"Who is she?" Leng Liewei’s gaze swept across Luna and Qi Hui’s faces, not missing their fleeting astonishment.
"Dad, she’s just the attendant hired for the service at this reception," Bai Yiran answered casually.
Hearing this response, Leng Liewei’s face immediately darkened, "Bai Yiran, are you joking?"
Bai Yiran shook her head, appearing sincere, "Dad, why would I be in the mood for jokes at a time like this? A perfectly good reception, our Leng Family spent a fortune, and it ended up like this. Who would joke at a time like this?" Saying that, Bai Yiran looked at Luna, "Isn’t that right, Aunt Lu?"
Luna’s body shook, "Bai Yiran, what exactly are you trying to say? Stop talking in circles here. I think she’s just an attendant. Why did you bring her here?"
Bai Yiran glanced at Li Sha, who then forcefully pushed the attendant forward, "Speak!"
The attendant was terrified by Li Sha’s shout. Her body trembled involuntarily, and her face bore bruises, clearly showing Li Sha’s harsh treatment earlier.
"I... I was just here to do my job... I don’t know anything..." The attendant looked anxiously at the group, finally focusing on Qi Hui’s sinister face, and directly pointed at Qi Hui, "It’s her! She gave me two thousand yuan and a packet of powder, instructed me to put the powder in one of the glasses of wine and then bring it up. I saw her hand that glass of wine to Mr. Leng’s wife, and then I left. I know nothing else! Seriously, please let me go..."
The attendant’s words instantly stirred waves. Seeing the matter exposed, Qi Hui snarled fiercely at the attendant, "You are lying! When did I ask you to do that?"
It should be noted that Qi Hui was fully in charge of the reception, and all the service staff were also hired by her.
Old Qi looked at Qi Hui in disbelief. The conversation between father and daughter in the car that day echoed in his mind at that moment.
"Whether she’s lying, you’re the one who knows best, Qi Hui!" Saying that, Bai Yiran looked at Qi Hui, "The whole night, you’ve been at Luna’s side, more attentive than I, the legitimate daughter-in-law. Yet, when the attendant served the wine, you bypassed Luna and handed the first glass to me. At that moment, I thought it was odd." Bai Yiran paused, "I said I didn’t want to drink, and you and Luna said all sorts of things to force me to drink that glass. I knew there was definitely something wrong with that drink, but I still drank it."
Hearing Bai Yiran say this, Luna realized that today’s scheme was ruined. Bai Yiran knew from the beginning that it was a plot and had prepared in advance. Now, Luna’s only option was to clear herself and shift everything onto Qi Hui.
"Alright! Don’t say anything else!" Leng Liewei spoke then; he understood the gist of the situation. If Bai Yiran continued, it wouldn’t sound good if word got out. Moreover, Leng Liewei knew that Luna couldn’t be entirely disentangled from this matter.
"Qi Hui, what else do you have to say at this point?"
Leng Liewei’s voice quietly entered Qi Hui’s ears. When she raised her head, she saw Leng Liewei’s sinister eyes, carrying a warning. Is he implying she should admit to it?
