Chapter 247: Discovering Her Scheme

Jiang Baobao shook her head with some hesitation, her expression also somewhat puzzled.

Li Beijue has been truly too strange lately...

Not only did he not do anything to her, but his attitude was actually... a bit gentler?

And what exactly is going on with him and Lu Qing'er?

How did his attitude change so much all of a sudden?

Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking this, she suddenly heard Cai Xiaotang beside her say with disdain: "To think the Lu Qing'er family still has the nerve to stay here... If I were them, I would have already left, too ashamed to show my face! A thick skin really is invincible!"

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao snapped back to her senses and subconsciously looked toward the direction of the Lu Family.

Sure enough, she saw Lu Guohui and Xia Huiya holding wine glasses, following beside that President Wang and chatting about something with another middle-aged man.

Jiang Baobao watched for a few seconds, her expression also tinged with a trace of disdain.

Just as she intended to look away, she suddenly noticed Lu Qing'er turn her head abruptly and look toward the wine station on one side!

Her gaze was somewhat strange, constantly sweeping back and forth over a pile of wine glasses, as if she were looking for something.

Seeing this, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but subconsciously knit her brows, but she didn't look away immediately, instead staring at Lu Qing'er for a few more seconds.

Cai Xiaotang also suddenly spoke up from the side: "Baobao, did you see Lu Qing'er's eyes? She's been looking at that pile of drinks from time to time since just now. I've been watching her for a long time. You say... do you think she's planning to come over and act like a bitch again?"

Cai Xiaotang's words were extremely blunt; thinking of the time she was almost framed for stealing, she was still quite furious.

Jiang Baobao's expression was also somewhat hesitant. After thinking for a moment, she whispered: "This is the Mu Family; even if she wants to do something, she shouldn't have the guts..."

"That's not necessarily true!"

Cai Xiaotang immediately retorted, her tone displeased: "Of course it's useless to use a normal person's logic to consider that crazy woman! Maybe she really wants to do something right now! Perhaps she's planning to mess with the drinks! You must be very careful when you drink something later..."

Jiang Baobao raised her eyebrows noncommittally. The next second, however, she saw Lu Qing'er pick up a glass of wine at random, but she didn't drink it, instead holding it while lost in thought.

Not long after, she put the wine glass back in its original place.

Jiang Baobao finally felt that something was not quite right.

Lu Qing'er's state just now was indeed very abnormal. If she really wanted to do something...

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for an instant, and a thought suddenly occurred to her.

"Xiao Tang, shall we do an experiment?" Jiang Baobao suddenly asked in a low voice.

Cai Xiaotang was taken aback upon hearing this, her expression instantly becoming somewhat excited, and she hurriedly asked in return: "What experiment do you want to do? Is it aimed at Lu Qing'er?"

"Mm." Jiang Baobao nodded, then saw Lu Qing'er look down at the wine glasses beside her again.

A dark glint flashed in the depths of Jiang Baobao's eyes, and she simply pulled Cai Xiaotang directly toward the direction of the wine station.

Sure enough, Lu Qing'er looked over almost immediately!

The two people's gazes met in the air, but then vanished in an instant.

While walking forward, Jiang Baobao kept her expression unchanged and whispered: "Xiao Tang, whichever glass of wine I pick up, you pick up one different from mine; that way it's easier to distinguish..."

"Okay." Cai Xiaotang agreed in a low voice.

Seeing Jiang Baobao pick up a glass of champagne, she casually picked up a glass of red wine herself.

Both of their expressions were extremely natural, and their movements were not the least bit hesitant.

Each holding a glass of wine, they walked directly toward a quiet resting area in the corner.

Most of the people attending the banquet were gathered in the center of the Main Hall, and very few people sat in the corners to rest.

Jiang Baobao pulled Cai Xiaotang to place the drinks on a small table in front of a sofa, then sat down casually.

"Baobao, Lu Qing'er is looking our way..."

Cai Xiaotang used her peripheral vision to size up Lu Qing'er's direction without changing her expression, and said in a low voice.

"Mm, we'll sit here for a minute."

Jiang Baobao answered in a low voice, the corners of her lips curling up slightly.

A minute passed very quickly—

Jiang Baobao set down the drink she had only taken one sip of.

Immediately after, she and Cai Xiaotang rose from the sofa together, the two of them talking as they walked toward the direction of the restroom.

The restroom was not too far from where the two had just been sitting; after turning a corner...

Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang stopped in their tracks together.

They exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh, tacitly standing in a hidden corner of the restroom.

From there, they could just see half of the table exposed from the direction where the two had just been sitting.

"Whether Lu Qing'er really wants to do something to us, we'll know very soon..."

Jiang Baobao whispered with a curled lip, staring fixedly at the two wine glasses on the table, a hint of ruthlessness showing in her eyes.

If Lu Qing'er really dares!

Then whatever she did today, she would pay it back in full!

"Baobao... she's here!"

Cai Xiaotang's voice suddenly rang out, pulling back Jiang Baobao's thoughts.

Jiang Baobao snapped back to her senses and saw at a glance a piece of a white skirt hem exposed on the sofa by the table; it was exactly the dress Lu Qing'er was wearing today.

Immediately following, she saw that the backpack she had been carrying was placed on the sofa, and using the table as cover, she swiftly took out something like a small bottle from inside, which seemed to contain some kind of pale yellow liquid.

"What is that?" Cai Xiaotang also saw the thing in her hand and couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly put a finger to her lips, signaling her not to speak.

Only then did she focus her attention on Lu Qing'er's direction again.

Immediately after, she saw her casually pick up a wine glass, which was exactly the same as the glass of champagne Jiang Baobao had taken from the table just now.

The two were standing in a tricky position; after Lu Qing'er picked up the wine glass, nothing could be seen anymore.

Cai Xiaotang's face was full of displeasure, and she said with an indignant tone: "I didn't expect she would really dare to make a move on you here! But now we can't see anything at all..."

Her voice had just fallen when she saw Lu Qing'er's hand appear within her line of sight once again.

She saw her hand holding that same glass of champagne from before, deliberately placing it right next to Jiang Baobao's glass.

The next second—

She actually picked up Jiang Baobao's wine glass directly!

Immediately after, she hurriedly turned around and, pretending it was unintentional, carried the wine glass away from that spot.

The entire process took less than two minutes.

Cai Xiaotang was practically laughing out of anger.

"Baobao! That woman had this planned! Whatever was in her hand just now was definitely poured into the glass! I'm going to have my brother check the surveillance footage right now! Let's make her get out!"

As Cai Xiaotang spoke, she prepared to rush out of the restroom.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly intercepted her with quick eyes and fast hands, her expression relaxed and showing not the slightest sign of anger.

She cast a faint glance in the direction of the wine glass.

Then, unhurriedly, she asked in return: "Just kicking her out, wouldn't that be letting her off too easily? Whatever she put inside, let's just make her taste the flavor herself!"
