Chapter 147: Wen Ping'an is Poisoned

~8 min read 1,511 words

Cheng Wan did not have many friends, so she only invited Fang Yiwen and Cheng Han.

Fang Yiwen brought her younger sister Fang Tian, while by Cheng Han's side was Qin Yun Shu, who insisted on coming along.

Aside from them, there were a few other close friends from their circle.

Wen Lvzhong briefly spoke about the wedding, saying only that he planned to accompany Cheng Wan to settle down in Bali Town and would likely rarely return in the future.

Cheng Han assumed that Wen Lvzhong and Cheng Wan had confirmed their feelings for each other and insisted on pestering Wen Lvzhong about the wedding details.

Wen Lvzhong could only brush it off by saying they would talk about it after Cheng Wan gave birth.

Qin Yun Shu could not help but sneer, "Lawyer Wen is truly generous, willing to raise someone else's child."

The smile on Cheng Han's face faded slightly, and he glanced at her.

Qin Yun Shu felt aggrieved, "I didn't say anything wrong."

If one were to talk about it, Cheng Wan was truly lucky; she spent three good years under the identity of Qin Xingwan, then married Cheng Han, and later, even when her identity was exposed, Chu Li still protected her.

And now, she was pregnant with Chu Li's child while marrying the eldest young master of the Wen Family.

It would be no exaggeration to call it a life reversal.

Cheng Han's expression was blank: "If you don't like it here, you can leave right now."

He had little patience.

Qin Yun Shu bit her lip, not daring to say anything more.

Not far away, Cheng Wan was eating with Wen Ping'an, and Fang Tian was sitting on the other side of Wen Ping'an; the young girl's eyes were filled with a clear, innocent light.

"Sister Cheng, is this your son?"

Cheng Wan smiled gently at her, "Yes."

"He looks so cute and is so well-behaved."

"Does Miss Fang like children?"

Fang Tian nodded vigorously, "I love children so much. By the way, my job is a preschool teacher."

She was as sweet as her name; she smiled very sweetly.

Cheng Wan had a very good impression of her.

The two chatted idly.

After finishing his meal, Wen Ping'an wanted to go out to play, and Fang Tian immediately volunteered to accompany him.

Cheng Wan gave a couple of instructions and let them go.

About five or six minutes later, Fang Tian and Wen Ping'an returned.

Wen Ping'an still had a lollipop in his mouth.

Cheng Wan assumed Fang Tian had given it to him and didn't pay it any mind, but unexpectedly, the next second, Wen Ping'an suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"Ping'an!" Cheng Wan was startled; she practically slid off her chair and knelt to pick Wen Ping'an up.

"Ping'an, wake up."

Wen Ping'an's eyes were tightly shut, and his complexion was turning grayish-white.

He was unconscious.

At the Yiyuan, Wen Ping'an was rushed into the emergency room.

Cheng Wan's whole body went limp, and she was supported by Wen Lvzhong as she sat on a chair.

Soon, a doctor came out and asked, "The child is poisoned; what did he eat?"

Cheng Wan's vision went black, "Poisoned?"

She had eaten almost everything Wen Ping'an had eaten, so how could it be poisoning?

"It was a lollipop." Cheng Wan stood up abruptly and said anxiously, "He ate a lollipop."

Cheng Wan turned to look at Fang Tian, her tone stern, "Miss Fang, where did the lollipop Ping'an ate come from?"

Fang Tian's small face turned pale, and she was on the verge of tears from fright.

"It was given by Uncle Chu."

"Which Uncle Chu?"

"I went to the restroom, and when I came back, he had an extra lollipop in his hand. According to Ping'an, it was given by Uncle Chu," the young girl explained eagerly.

Fang Yiwen gritted her teeth and said, "It's Chu Li. How could he be so vicious as to poison a small child?"

Cheng Wan could barely stand.

Chu Li had given Wen Ping'an a lollipop, which led to Wen Ping'an being poisoned.

Cheng Han frowned: "We are only guessing it's the lollipop right now; it's not confirmed."

Qin Yun Shu chimed in, "Exactly, who knows what else he snuck and ate."

If he died, he deserved it.

Wen Lvzhong called someone to find that lollipop and send it to the Yiyuan.

The test results came back; the lollipop was indeed poisoned.

Cheng Wan dug her nails deep into her palms and said through gritted teeth, "Call the police, call the police right now."

She would absolutely make the person who hurt Wen Ping'an pay the price.

Fortunately, the poison on that lollipop was not very potent, and Wen Ping'an was out of danger.

Cheng Wan kept watch for most of the night.

Just as she stood up to stretch, the sound of a woman making a scene came from the corridor, "Where is Cheng Wan? Come out here."

It was Madam Chu who had arrived.

Cheng Wan did not want to disturb Wen Ping'an, so she walked out.

She looked at Madam Chu with a blank expression, her demeanor extremely cold.

Madam Chu raised her hand and slapped over, "Cheng Wan, how could you frame A Li."

Wen Lvzhong held Madam Chu back and said coldly, "Whether it is framing or not, the Police Station will investigate clearly."

Madam Chu pointed at Cheng Wan and cursed, "Our A Li donated bone marrow to save Wen Ping'an's life, so how could he harm him? I see you've just climbed up to some other high branch, and that's why you're trampling on A Li's sincerity like this."

Just a short while ago, Chu Li had been taken away by the police.

Although the lawyer arrived quickly, it was, after all, a bad influence.

Madam Chu valued face above all else; to her, this matter was simply a humiliation.

Cheng Wan did not want to argue with her here and turned to go inside: "Whether it is or not, the police will investigate clearly."

Madam Chu's chest heaved violently, "Cheng Wan, you are so heartless and ungrateful, your son deserves to die."

Chu Li was her hope and pride for her entire life.

Yet now, he had actually been sent to the Police Station by Cheng Wan.

She was going to go crazy.

Cheng Wan turned around abruptly and stared fixedly at Madam Chu, "What did you say?"

Madam Chu cursed viciously and meanly: "I said Wen Ping'an is just a disaster, he deserves to die. A Li shouldn't have saved him in the first place, the ungrateful wretch, he should just go die sooner."

Cheng Wan was trembling all over with anger; she walked a few steps to stand in front of Madam Chu, her eyes tempered like knives.

"Fine, then I'll tell you, I won't let Chu Li off; I am going to make him pay the price."

"You just wait for him to be ruined."

Madam Chu clutched her chest, nearly fainting from lack of breath.

"You little slut, you dare."

Cheng Wan had already entered the hospital room, her chest aching with anger, tears streaming down.

She had only called the police to report that someone had poisoned him; it was the police who investigated and found Chu Li, and took Chu Li away, yet Madam Chu said such vicious words.

Was she not afraid that all the retribution would fall upon her own son?

Wen Lvzhong came in, looking at the frail Wen Ping'an on the hospital bed with heartache, and he comforted Cheng Wan.

"The doctor said he is fine, don't worry."

Cheng Wan wiped away her tears, "Mm."

Wen Lvzhong sighed, but in the end, he couldn't help but say: "I don't think this matter was done by Chu Li."

It was too obvious.

Chu Li was not the type of person to be that arrogant.

Cheng Wan held Wen Ping'an's small hand, her voice exceptionally soft, "I know."

She had been married to Chu Li for three years and understood he was not that kind of person.

She had only said that because she was angry at Madam Chu for saying such vicious words.

"I will go investigate." Wen Lvzhong patted her shoulder.

No matter who it was, anyone doing this kind of thing behind the scenes must be investigated to the end.

The Police Station.

After listening to the recording released by Madam Chu, Chu Li lowered his eyes, his expression gloomy and ugly.

"I told you she was an ungrateful, white-eyed wolf, but you wouldn't believe me. Look at what she has done to you for the sake of that bastard child."

The more Madam Chu spoke, the angrier she became, also blaming her son for refusing to listen to her and go on blind dates.

The other party didn't take him seriously at all.

A trace of relief lingered on Chu Li's thin lips.

In Cheng Wan's heart, he was just that kind of unscrupulous person.
