Chapter 87: Are You Suspecting Us?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation     Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Qingyue coldly looked at the Shen family.

Shen Da naturally understood the meaning behind Shen Qingyue’s gaze and immediately took the initiative to speak, “Qingyue, what’s with that look in your eyes? Are you suspecting us? Granduncle and I are blood relatives, how could we do such a thing?”

Shen Qingyue’s face showed no emotion as she just stared at them, like she was looking at lifeless objects. “I will have someone investigate! Regardless of who did it, they will pay the price!” She realized she had been wrong. Keeping these people around would not make her grandfather happy. She wanted to maintain the facade, but these people were not even willing to keep up the pretense.

Shen Da felt guilty under her gaze but still maintained a friendly tone as an elder, “I know you’re anxious. I won’t argue with you for now. We’ll come back tomorrow.”

“No need.” She no longer trusted this family at all. They had become so deranged that even without evidence, Shen Da’s eyes told her he was not innocent.

The Shen family didn’t push their luck and left with their relatives.

Shen Qingyue stayed outside the hospital room. Even though the butler tried to persuade her to leave, she insisted on staying. She could not relax unless she was there.

“Come back tomorrow morning; right now, you’re the only person I can trust.”

The butler could not insist any further. He was getting older and wouldn’t be able to stay up all night.

As the sky turned pale, Shen Qingyue felt cold all over, her lips unusually pale. Her body temperature was unusually high. She heard someone calling her name, and she tried to look up at the person, but her vision darkened, and she fainted.

At the moment of falling, she sensed a familiar presence and strangely felt at ease.

When she woke up again, she found herself in a black and white-themed bedroom. She looked around and recognized it as Chi Ming’s room. Her head felt heavy as she lifted the blanket and got out of bed. supporting herself against the wall as she walked out.

The living room was empty, and she felt a bit parched. She stumbled towards the water dispenser to get some water, but after waiting for a while, not a drop came out. She looked up and saw the water bucket was empty. She stood there for a while, then went to the kitchen, trying to find a teapot to boil water herself.

However, her hands were weak, and she dropped the teapot the moment she picked it up. Panicking, she stepped on water, and the slippery floor caused her to fall.

At that moment, hurried footsteps came from outside, and she saw Chi Ming coming in. He bent down to pick her up, carried her out of the kitchen, and placed her on the couch.

He squatted in front of her, looking at her with evident concern on his usually cold face. He tried to keep his voice gentle, “How did you fall?”

Being asked like that, Shen Qingyue felt a bit aggrieved for some reason. Her eyes became teary, and she thought it might be because of her cold that she felt so sentimental, almost like a child. Her voice was hoarse, “I just wanted to boil water to drink… Am I so useless… I thought I could handle everything, that I knew everything, and could protect Grandfather. Let him live his remaining years in peace. But because of my negligence, Grandpa ended up in the emergency room.”

“You’ve already done a great job. It’s not just your fault. Those who harbor evil intentions are in the wrong.” Chi Ming hugged her tenderly. “I’ll go make some hot water. Drinking it will help your throat. There’s a doctor by Grandpa’s side, and he’ll be okay.”

Shen Qingyue did not say anything and just hugged herself. When they had drunk some water, she felt better and insisted on going to the hospital. She wanted to stay with Shen Jun. Otherwise, she would not be at ease.

“Someone is keeping an eye on things there. You should rest for a while,” Chi Ming refused.

“But…”

“Sleep.”

With the coldness gone from his face, Shen Qingyue felt even more helpless. After not arguing, she lay down on the bed. But before she closed her eyes, she said, “When I wake up, you have to let me go to the hospital.”

Sighing, Chi Ming compromised, “Alright.”

As Shen Oingyue fell asleep, Chi Ming’s usually gentle face turned completely cold. He had only been busy for two days, and such a significant incident happened on Shen Qingyue’s side!

At this moment, the people he sent to investigate also sent a message.

[Mr. Chi, we found out that Shen Da bought aspirin from a pharmacy last week.

It seems they had planned to do this a long time ago!]

Though Shen Da usually acted arrogantly, he was cautious when doing things. That medicine went through several hands before he got it. He practically used all his connections to obtain it.

Chi Ming replied: [Give the evidence to Shen Qingyue’s people..]
