Chapter 250: Want to Leave? It's Not That Easy

"Qing'er!!!"

As soon as Xia Huiya entered, she saw Lu Qing'er sitting on the floor in a disheveled state, leaning against the wall. She hurriedly rushed over and pulled her into her arms with a pained heart.

She wanted to help Lu Qing'er up, but she simply didn't have enough strength.

Just as she was about to speak, she felt that Lu Qing'er's body temperature was abnormal—it was shockingly hot!

"Qing'er, what's wrong with you? Do you have a fever?"

Xia Huiya was startled. Seeing that her face was also flushed red, she instinctively reached out to check the temperature on Lu Qing'er's forehead.

Sure enough, it was scorching to the touch.

Jiang Baobao watched the two people before her with cold eyes and spoke in an icy tone: "She doesn't have a fever; it's just that she seems to have taken some medicine she shouldn't have..."

As if to verify Jiang Baobao's words, no sooner had she finished speaking than Lu Qing'er began to struggle uncomfortably in Xia Huiya's arms, appearing to be in extreme distress.

Yet her gaze remained fixed, staring straight in the direction of Li Beijue, and she reached out to pull at her own clothes again.

"Hot..."

Lu Qing'er muttered, her reason completely burned away by the sensation of scorching heat throughout her body.

"Qing'er!!!"

Xia Huiya was startled and hurriedly reached out to stop Lu Qing'er's movements, blocking the large expanse of her chest that was exposed, her expression turning somewhat angry.

Even if she were a fool, she could see exactly what was wrong with Lu Qing'er by now!

"Jue..."

Lu Qing'er suddenly called out to Li Beijue in a low voice again.

The restroom was extremely quiet, and this sound was heard clearly by everyone around, their expressions instantly becoming gossipy.

A cold arc curled the corners of Jiang Baobao's lips. She swept a glance to the side without changing her expression, but her peripheral vision caught the look on Li Beijue's face becoming increasingly icy.

She was slightly stunned, a flash of confusion in her eyes.

It had already caused such a scene...

Was Li Beijue really not going to care about Lu Qing'er anymore?

Looking at his current expression, it didn't seem like he liked her either...

Forget it, the people who needed to be here were all here anyway; today, she would let Lu Qing'er become well and truly famous!

Jiang Baobao raised an eyebrow and suddenly walked toward the corner of the wall, casually picking up a small bucket used for cleaning the floor.

It already contained half a bucket of water used for daily cleaning. Jiang Baobao lowered her eyes to glance at it, then nodded in her heart with satisfaction.

That's great... it even saved her the trouble of going to get water!

Thinking this, Jiang Baobao walked directly in front of Lu Qing'er, carrying the bucket.

"You... what are you doing?" Xia Huiya protected Lu Qing'er behind her with a nervous expression.

Jiang Baobao curled her lips and spoke nonchalantly: "Saving her, of course. Or did you want her to keep making a fool of herself here? Do you want the whole world to know?"

Xia Huiya was stunned upon hearing this, and a surge of anger suddenly flared in the depths of her eyes.

It must be this little bitch Jiang Baobao!

It must be her who drugged Qing'er!

Fire burned in Xia Huiya's eyes, and before she could reply, the next second—

"Splash!"

The bucket in Jiang Baobao's hand suddenly tilted, pouring water all over both of them!

"Ah!!!" Xia Huiya and Lu Qing'er screamed at the same time.

None of the people present went up to help; they just watched the farce before them coldly, and some even couldn't help but chuckle out loud.

Lu Guohui stood among the crowd without saying a word, his face already livid; he wished he didn't know the two women in the corner who were soaked through by the water!

"Jiang Baobao... are... are you crazy!" Lu Qing'er was jolted into a bit of sobriety by the bucket of cold water. She glared at Jiang Baobao with hatred, wishing she could pounce on her and tear her to shreds.

Jiang Baobao, however, tossed the bucket aside indifferently and said unhurriedly: "I think I roughly know what kind of drug you were under just now. If the dosage isn't right, it can cause a fever that burns a person stupid. I saved you; shouldn't you be saying thank you to me?"

She smiled at Lu Qing'er on purpose, her eyes provocative.

Lu Qing'er gritted her teeth so hard they were about to break, her fists clenched tightly, and she glared at Jiang Baobao while trembling all over.

This damn bitch!

That glass of wine was clearly prepared for her!

Why on earth did it end up in her own hands?

It was her... it was all her!

She wanted to make her look bad; she wanted to ruin her!

Lu Qing'er took a deep breath, feeling her exposed skin shivering as it touched the cool air, yet her body remained burning hot, constantly scorching her reason.

No...

She had to go home first and let this damn drug effect wear off quickly!

Only this one thought remained in Lu Qing'er's mind.

Just as she intended to force herself to stand up, the next second, she suddenly heard Xia Huiya beside her say to Mu Liusu: "President Mu! Since my Qing'er encountered such a thing at the Mu Family, you should at least catch the person who drugged her!"

No sooner had Xia Huiya finished speaking than Lu Qing'er's whole body stiffened violently.

She had already arranged for people to be ready to take Jiang Baobao to a room when the drug took effect, creating the illusion of a drunken indiscretion!

That way, no one would ever suspect it was drugging!

Even if Jiang Baobao suspected it afterward, the drug she had spent a large sum of money to buy would be absorbed into the body very quickly, and after one night, it would be impossible to find anything!

Moreover, if she did this at the Mu Family, Cai Xiaotang might even break off her friendship with her because of it!

But if they investigated now...

Lu Qing'er's heart was in complete chaos.

Just as she didn't know what to do, she immediately heard Mu Liusu reply: "This kind of matter really should be investigated. I will have someone pull the surveillance footage right now to see exactly what happened..."

"Right, it's best to check the surveillance; that way, things can be clarified." Jiang Baobao also chimed in, looking at Lu Qing'er with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.

Lu Qing'er panicked inside and hurriedly said: "There's no need!"

Her firm attitude made everyone present freeze for a moment, their expressions filled with confusion.

Not even wanting to investigate such a thing, how big-hearted is this woman?

Xia Huiya was also stunned, not understanding why Lu Qing'er was unwilling to investigate.

Lu Qing'er's gaze flickered for an instant, and she could only swallow her pride, putting on a kind appearance as she whispered: "President Mu... since I haven't suffered any harm, let's just let this matter pass... Originally, people with the status of my parents and me shouldn't have come here. We caused you trouble today, I'm sorry. I... just want to go home now..."

Lu Qing'er's tone was soft and weak as she deliberately leaned toward Xia Huiya.

Someone among the onlookers also spoke up: "Since nothing happened, why not just let it go? Let them go home quickly."

Once someone started it, everyone else followed suit and began to persuade them.

Everyone here was a person of status and reputation; regardless of their private conduct, if it were truly discovered today who had done such a thing, they probably wouldn't be able to show their faces in society anymore.

No matter who did it, this matter was not glorious, and since everyone knew each other, there was really no need to be so serious about it.

Especially for the sake of a Lu Family that couldn't even be brought to the table.

Listening to the voices of the people around her, Lu Qing'er slowly let out a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao let out a cold, disdainful snort in her heart and exchanged a look with Cai Xiaotang without changing her expression.

Thinking of leaving just like this?

It won't be that easy!

The good show today has only just begun!
