Chapter 147 Brother Mingyu, I'm so scared
Hu Mingyu called Ning Yao and explained the situation of Madam Wen in general terms.
"The toxins in the old lady's body have been cleared, but she still hasn't woken up. Miss Ning Yao, do you know why? Could it be related to the unknown elements in the medicine?"
"Besides being unconscious, does the old lady have any other symptoms?" Ning Yao asked.
"No." Hu Mingyu seemed to have thought about it carefully before answering Ning Yao, confirming that it was correct.
"It seems I have to go to the hospital to see the old lady myself to find out the specifics of her condition."
Ning Yao was also troubled. Logically speaking, once the medicine was injected into her body and the toxins were cleared away, the old lady should have returned to normal.
"I'm afraid the old master won't agree to you getting close to the old lady." Hu Mingyu sighed, then added, "Could it be that the dosage of the medicine you gave me wasn't enough, Miss Ning Yao? Do you have any of your family's hereditary medicine left?"
"I have more, I'll send them to you as soon as possible."
"Thank you for your help."
After hanging up the phone, Ning Yao stared at her phone screen, thinking about the whole story, her mind highly focused.
Kidnapping, framing, poisoning—Lian Jiaorui's series of schemes were far more sophisticated than she had imagined.
What's her next move this time?
Could it be that Old Master Wen has Lian Jiaorui's confidante?
After the antidote was neutralized, what secret tricks were done to the old lady to make her fall into a coma?
Such a thought only flashed through Ning Yao's mind, and she did not doubt it too deeply.
Who is Old Master Wen? He is the head of the five major families and has dominated the business world for so many years. If he could easily have spies planted around him, how could he have built the Wen family to its current position?
Ning Yao slumped back on the sofa, her red lips slightly parted as she exhaled a breath of stale air, her head throbbing terribly.
She didn't sleep well last night, had no appetite for breakfast, and had dark circles under her eyes, making her look very tired.
There was still no news from Wen Tingye, and he was embroiled in a lawsuit, while the old lady was still ill.
They originally thought that giving the medicine to Hu Mingyu would cure the old lady's poison and improve her condition.
The old lady's poison was cured, and everything seemed to be progressing, yet it also seemed like things were still stuck in the same place...
Ning Yao stepped onto the wooden steps inside the villa, speaking to Chen Ma in the hall as she walked, her expression serious and resolute.
"Aunt Chen, have the driver wait for me in the garage. I need to go out in ten minutes."
The imperial city, the Lian family.
Upon learning that Madam Wen was still unconscious, Lian Jiaorui enjoyed a delicious breakfast and felt much better.
She had gotten plenty of sleep and had a rosy complexion. She sat in front of the vanity mirror with her legs crossed, applying a moisturizing face mask to her face.
Just then, the phone rang. Lian Jiaorui glanced at the caller ID, but didn't answer immediately. Instead, she deliberately waited for a while.
Before pressing the answer button, Lian Jiaorui adjusted her voice, pinching her throat and making a nasal sound.
"Hello... Is the old lady alright?" Lian Jiaorui answered the phone, her voice sounding tired and tinged with worry.
"The old lady is fine, but she won't be fully conscious for a while, so you don't need to worry too much. Just take good care of yourself." The other person's voice was as gentle as ever, filled with love and concern.
"I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."
Lian Jiaorui cried twice on the phone, but in reality, she had a smile on her lips and no trace of apology on her face.
She was silent for a moment, then deliberately made the sound of pulling out a tissue, pretending to wipe her eyes, and tentatively asked, "Can I treat you to dinner tonight?"
"it is good."
Lian Jiaorui smiled after receiving an affirmative answer.
She's had a lot of dealings with men over the years, but winning someone's heart is nothing special for her.
The man waited until Lian Jiaorui hung up and heard the busy tone on the other end of the phone before he snapped out of his daze.
The knuckles of my fingers, gripping the machine, turned white, and then I suddenly relaxed them.
The relaxation that followed the exertion revealed the complex state of mind of the finger's owner at that moment.
He sat there in a daze for a long time. When he got up again, he had composed himself and began looking for a suitable suit for the meeting in his wardrobe.
Lian Jiaorui arranged to dine with the man at a very romantic hotel in the capital city. The environment was elegant and the music was melodious.
The man was dressed in a carefully matched light gray new suit and wore a tie that Lian Jiaorui had personally chosen for him. He was led by a waiter to the private room that Lian Jiaorui had reserved.
Lian Jiaorui was clearly dressed up carefully, wearing a red V-neck long dress that men love, which was both sexy and elegant.
Seeing the man enter, Lian Jiaorui greeted him with a smile.
"Brother Mingyu."
When Lian Jiaorui's appearance came into Hu Mingyu's view, he was momentarily stunned, and his body's subconscious reaction was to step forward and hug the woman into his arms.
But just after he took a step, it was as if someone had hit his brain with a hammer, and he suddenly became wide awake.
He remembered that the person Lian Jiaorui loved was not him, but Wen Tingye, his best brother.
He had no right to embrace Lian Jiaorui, no right to possess the woman he loved; he was merely Lian Jiaorui's friend.
Hu Mingyu slowly walked up to Lian Jiaorui, his gaze almost never leaving her.
He got closer and closer to Lian Jiaorui, close enough to see her thick eyelashes, rosy lips, and the alluring scenery beneath her red collar.
Sitting opposite Lian Jiaorui, Hu Mingyu placed his phone on the table, his movements still somewhat awkward.
It's like a naive boy in his school days, feeling uneasy and nervous when he sees a girl he likes.
"Hmm." Hu Mingyu's deep voice came out as a response to Lian Jiaorui's greeting.
"I just randomly ordered a few dishes, I don't know if you'll like them. Take a look at the menu, and if you don't like them, you can order something else." Lian Jiaorui pushed the exquisite menu in front of her towards Hu Mingyu, smiling gently and shyly.
Hu Mingyu awkwardly looked away and glanced down at the menu, only to find that even Jiao Rui had ordered his favorite dishes.
She actually remembered his preferences. Hu Mingyu was overjoyed when he realized this, but he dared not show it on his face.
The menu was taken away by the waiter and given to the chefs in the kitchen.
The man and woman stared at each other in the romantic restaurant, remaining silent for a long time without saying a word.
Finally, Lian Jiaorui opened her mouth, unconsciously drawing out the last syllable.
"Mingyu, I'm still very worried..."
This affectionate call sounded more like she was flirting with Hu Mingyu, her slightly high-pitched voice tinged with softness.
Hu Mingyu's heart jolted, and he felt an involuntary urge to step forward and embrace Lian Jiaorui, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.
"Don't worry, I'll handle it myself at the hospital and make sure no one notices anything."
Hu Mingyu didn't seem to be lying to her; she could see that the emotion in his eyes was genuine.
The man sitting in front of her genuinely liked her; unlike Wen Tingye, who was an iceberg that couldn't be warmed.
"Yes, I believe Mingyu can protect me." Lian Jiaorui tilted her head and smiled, her collar inadvertently pulling it open a little wider.
Hu Mingyu's heart raced as he watched, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably.
Hu Mingyu thoroughly enjoyed the meal, not only because he was sitting at the same table with the woman he liked, but also because Lian Jiaorui had drunk too much.
Lian Jiaorui approached him without any warning, her neckline opening wider and wider, as if she were extending an invitation to Hu Mingyu. Her constant use of "Brother Mingyu" made Hu Mingyu's bones go weak.
