Chapter 49: Heading For Death

Chu Ninger was green with jealousy when she saw Chu Wuyou, particularly so when she noticed the way men reacted to her elder sister. Chu Ninger desperately wanted to kill someone.

She never expected Chu Wuyou to change into another gown. Not only did Chu Wuyou spoil her plan, but she also managed to grab the attention of everyone.

Now, most of the men in the hall had their eyes on Chu Wuyou.

Chu Ninger could never tolerate this. She was the only one who should be the center of attention.

How could that good-for-nothing, brainless hag steal her limelight?

Chu Ninger picked a convenient moment and headed for the landing between the second and third floors with a waitress.

“Have you prepared the thing I mentioned earlier?” Chu Ninger’s voice was no longer soothing. Instead, it was chilling and wicked.

“Yes, it’s ready.” The waitress was evidently frightened.

“Mm, Chu Wuyou doesn’t drink. Elder Chu prepared Coke for her. Put that thing into her Coke.” Chu Ninger had planned everything.

“What if she doesn’t drink it?” The waitress asked with a shaky voice.

“If she doesn’t drink it, find an opportunity to get her out here. I’ll force the drink down her throat if I have to.” Chu Ninger’s hiss echoed around the staircase, making her seem more terrifying.

On the third floor, Fifth Young Master Shen and Ye Lanchen overheard the women’s conversation.

“Second Young Lady Chu seems to be an adorable and gentle woman, but she turns out to be an evil person. Based on this fact, what happened five years ago must have been planned by her, too,” Fifth Young Master Shen quipped coldly.

“Third Elder Brother, should we help First Young Lady Chu?” Fifth Young Master Shen regarded Ye Lanchen, trying to read the latter’s thoughts.

“No need for now.” Ye Lanchen shifted his brows. He wanted to see how that woman would handle the situation.

The phrase “for now” sounded intriguing.

“Understood.” Fifth Young Master Shen understood Ye Lanchen’s reply at once. His eyes gleamed with excitement. A thrilling show was about to begin.

One had to be insane to bully a woman whom Third Elder Brother cared about.

After Chu Ninger and the waitress left, He Yufei walked out slowly and looked at the direction where the two women were headed for. He looked at them in consternation.

“First Young Lady, here’s your Coke. Elder Chu knows that you don’t drink alcohol, so he ordered this for you.” The waitress handed the spiked Coke to Chu Wuyou. Feeling guilty, the waitress did not dare to make eye contact with Chu Wuyou.

“Ok, thank you.” Chu Wuyou smiled and accepted the drink.

The waitress let out a quiet sigh of relief and shifted her gaze instinctively to look at Chu Ninger.

Chu Ninger, who had been observing Chu Wuyou secretly, saw everything. A hint of a smile darted across her lips. The show was about to begin.

He Yufei noticed everything as well. He pursed his lips and glanced at Chu Ninger with a troubled expression. However, he did not say a word.

“Seriously?! First Young Lady fell into the trap.” Fifth Young Master Shen, who was watching the scene from above, became anxious. “She may have recovered from her illness, but she has let her guard down.”

Ye Lanchen’s lips curved upwards slowly. With her astounding level of observation, he refused to believe she would get tricked so easily.

In the hall, Chu Wuyou held the glass of Coke and gradually lifted it to her mouth…
