1033 The More I Talk, the More I Feel That It’s Poison
Hua Qingmei didn’t say anything. She just placed a packet of powder in Sun Lirong’s hands.
“What is this?” Sun Lirong was not very smart. She had no idea what Hua Qingmei was up to.
“Lirong, this is a packet of sleeping pills. Believe me, it’s only sleeping pills.” Hua Qingmei lowered her voice. “I know that every night, your grandfather would drink a cup of calming soup. Put this packet of sleeping pills into his soup...”
“W-what are you doing...” Sun Lirong was so frightened that she couldn’t even speak properly. She almost threw the medicine bag on the ground.
Hua Qingmei said that it wasn’t poison, but the more she said that, the more she felt that it was poison.
“Look at you. You can’t capture Xinming’s heart like this!” Hua Qingmei’s eyes were filled with disdain.
Seeing that Sun Lirong had lowered her head again, she immediately put on a pleasant expression.
“Lirong, believe me, I don’t want to do this. Your grandmother and father know about it. You also know that our second branch is about to be driven to death by the main branch. We don’t have that much money. So... we can only borrow something from your grandfather...”
Hua Qingmei said in a low voice, “Tonight, Xinning will think of a way to make your grandfather’s surveillance cameras malfunction. You have to succeed... Other than you, there’s no one else we can trust. Even if you’re not thinking for the second branch, you have to think for your two babies... Are you going to watch your babies get expelled from the Rong family?”
Hua Qingmei’s last words touched Sun Lirong.
She could not help but tighten her grip on the medicine bag.
...
The next morning, Hua Qingmei left the Rong Residence that she had stayed in for decades.
The servants carried her few boxes into the car.
“Qingmei is really our good daughter-in-law.” Qiu Shuyu wiped her tears at the Old Master. “In order to fill the hole from last time, she left all her dowry for us. Such a good wife was forced to leave us by the main branch.”
The Old Master put down the newspaper in his hand.
He was nostalgic and still retained his habit of reading newspapers.
However, this morning, he felt that he was not in good spirits.
“Second Daughter-in-law, it’s not that I want to criticize her, but she has too many tricks up her sleeve. Even if she leaves behind her dowry, it won’t be able to offset her mistakes!”
“Ha!” Qiu Shuyu laughed coldly. “Rong Bosen, stop being so tense. Who doesn’t know that the main branch is holding onto your life right now? If Rong Linyi doesn’t agree, the company’s share price will continue to fall day by day. Aren’t you being forced into a corner... Why do you have to act like you’re doing things impartially? You’ve really worked hard.”
Old Master Rong put down the newspaper he had just picked up.
He sighed. “Linyi has been in charge of the corporation for so many years, and he’s already a true family head. If he still can’t control the corporation now, then he won’t be the heir I fancy... I owe him for Yanyun’s matter. Even if he does this, I have nothing to blame him for...”
He rubbed his temples. “I’m not feeling well today. I’ll rest for a while more...”
After the Old Master left, Qiu Shuyu immediately took out her phone and called Hua Qingmei. “Have you loaded everything into the car?”
“It’s in the car.” Hua Qingmei pulled on the suitcase beside her feet tightly. “What should we do with these things? Are these things... really that valuable?”
“Cut the crap!” Qiu Shuyu replied as she looked around nervously. “The Old Master has hidden these things for decades, and even I can’t touch them normally. Don’t act rashly. When we find a suitable buyer, we’ll sell them for a good price. This way, we can fill in the hole the main branch made and even make a small profit.”
