Chapter 294 Poisoned
It was late, and Tan Rou wanted to go home soon. She had originally planned to take a taxi back, but since Zhuang Liu had specially come to send her off, she didn’t have to worry anymore. So, she took Zhuang Liu’s car back home. Coincidentally, she also had something to tell Zhuang Liu.
Tan Rou walked out and did not see the limited edition luxury car that Zhuang Liu usually sat in. The view here was wide. If the car was here, she would definitely be able to see it. However, there was indeed no Zhuang Liu’s car here at this time.
“Where did you park your car? Should we walk home?” Tan Rou asked.
Zhuang Liu pointed at a black SUV. “That car is too eye-catching. If I send you back, you won’t let me drive into your neighbourhood. This car should be more low-profile.”
Tan Rou felt that this was not a matter of keeping a low profile. There was a huge difference between five million and a hundred thousand. She just did not know if Zhuang Liu would be able to get used to it.
“Are you used to this car?” Tan Rou teased, “It’s still so new. Did you just buy it?”
Zhuang Liu calmly put the car under Xiao Mo’s name. “I didn’t buy this. Xiao Mo bought it. I’m borrowing it. ”
“Yes!” Xiao Mo said immediately. “This is the new car that I bought. It’s spacious, comfortable, and has good performance.”
Tan Rou didn’t want to expose his lie. She had seen Xiao Mo drive a car before and had even ridden in it a few times. This SUV was not Xiao Mo’s style at all. Besides, with Xiao Mo’s salary, he would get such a simple car.
“I see. It’s quite beautiful. Xiao Mo has good taste,” Tan Rou praised.
Zhuang Liu also smiled. “Indeed, he does.”
Xiao Mo’s job as an assistant was difficult. This was clearly a new car that his boss bought and yet he had to put it under his account. He was afraid that he would have to drive this car from now on.
After getting into the car, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu started talking about Shen Jing. Xiao Mo was not an outsider, so she felt that it was necessary to tell him so that he would be more careful and take better care of Zhuang Liu.
“When I checked Auntie’s pulse today, I not only found that she was weak, but I also found another problem.” Tan Rou’s expression was very serious. “A lot of toxins have accumulated in Auntie’s body, which has caused her body to remain weak. I think someone deliberately poisoned her.
Zhuang Liu wasn’t surprised when he heard that. “Actually, I could already guess it. For the past two years, Uncle Bai has been treating her. Some time ago, Uncle Bai told her to stop taking her medicine. I asked him at that time, and he explained that he wanted to change the medicine, but has he come up with any new ones?”
Tan Rou believed in Bai Jing’s character. She didn’t think that Bai Jing would do such a thing. “Uncle Bai must have found out that his medicine was being used.”
“It would be easier for us to handle this matter now that you know about it.” Tan Rou told Zhuang Liu about the newly made pills. “I added a few herbs to the newly made pills for Auntie. They can remove the toxins in Auntie’s body. One pill in the morning and one in the evening. The best time to take it is about half an hour after a meal.”
Zhuang Liu noted it down. “Okay, I’ll tell Mom.”
“The pill is still with Uncle Bai. I’ll come back in a few days to get it.” Tan Rou said, “I’ll prepare something appetizing for you later. When we ate with Auntie today, I noticed that she doesn’t have a good appetite.”
“That would trouble you too much.” Zhuang Liu decided to give Tan Rou a large sum of money to thank her. She was so busy and still had to treat them. This kindness could not be repaid with money.
“By the way, did you participate in the physics competition held in the city recently?” Zhuang Liu then remembered to ask. He was worried that she would be under a lot of pressure from the exam, but now that the exam was over, he finally got the chance to ask.
“Yes.” Tan Rou said, “The principal specifically asked me to participate. Back then, he wanted to just save me a spot but I didn’t agree to it. I still prefer to depend on my own skills when it comes to these. I don’t like taking shortcuts.”
Zhuang Liu was pleased. “You’re the best. You can still defeat them without relying on those tricks. You’ll definitely be the first.”
Tan Rou raised her eyebrows. “Do you trust me that much?”
“Of course, our Rourou is so smart. She will definitely get first place. You have to let others know that not only are you the top student in school, but also the top student outside of school.”
Hearing his words, Tan Rou’s mood improved. She took out the candy that she had brought with her when she left the house in the morning from her pocket. She was too embarrassed to give it to him earlier because there were too many people, but now was the right time. “Thank you for your compliment. I’ll reward you with two candies.”
Zhuang Liu accepted it calmly. “I always like the ones that you give me.”
Xiao Mo felt that only the Third Master would only accept the candy from Miss Tan Rou.
The beautiful car ride was short, especially at night when there was no traffic jam. The car was very fast. Even though Xiao Mo drove at the lowest speed, the car still arrived at Tan Rou’s neighborhood in the blink of an eye.
