Chapter 51: A Grave Outcome

Chu Ninger hardly believed that Chu Wuyou saw through her plan, but her elder sister had just moved the gla.s.s of c.o.ke away from her lips instead of drinking it.

Nothing seemed unusual about the spiked c.o.ke. Nevertheless, Chu Wuyou’s actions made Chu Ninger extremely anxious.

“Big Brother He, I wonder what Sis told the manager. Is she in some sort of trouble? I’m occupied with something at the moment. Could you head over there and check on Sis? She just recovered and I’m worried about her.” Chu Ninger regarded He Yufei who was standing beside her. Her soft expression was one of concern.

Chu Ninger did not feel at ease as long as she was unsure. She dared not approach her sister at the moment for fear that the latter would find out about her devious plan and eventually harm her. Thus, she decided to ask He Yufei to approach Chu Wuyou instead.

“Alright.” He Yufei glanced at Chu Ninger without saying much. He knew what Chu Ninger did, and yet he sided with her.

He noticed Chu Wuyou’s actions as well which made him surprised and suspicious. He wanted to know what she was up to.

He walked towards her and just as he did so, Manager Li happened to leave. He was unsure whether it was a coincidence or not.

“What are you doing?” asked He Yufei as he stood behind Chu Wuyou suddenly.

She turned around and pretended to be taken aback by his unannounced appearance. Her expression s.h.i.+fted, and shock and fear spread across her face. She instinctively placed her palm on the surface of the table as if she was trying to hide something.

He Yufei narrowed his eyes and his suspicion grew as he saw her expression. He got closer to her and wanted to see what she was hiding.

He would have to stand on her right side to have a clear view of the spot that Chu Wuyou’s palm was covering. Coincidentally, there was a barstool behind him.

Judging from its height and distance, it was only natural for someone to sit on it if he or she stood here. Chu Wuyou had already planned this.

Chu Wuyou blinked when she realized that He Yufei was about to sit down.

“Have some c.o.ke, Young Master He.” Chu Wuyou pushed the gla.s.s of spiked c.o.ke towards He Yufei. Her lips were slightly curled as she spoke suggestively.

“Do you know that there’s something wrong with this c.o.ke?” Judging by her expression, He Yufei had to admit this fact no matter how much he did not want to.

It appeared that Chu Wuyou already knew about the spiked c.o.ke. It could have been Manager Li who found out about it and told her.

He Yufei still refused to believe that dumb Chu Wuyou discovered it on her own.

“You do know about it, Young Master He. I was right about you in this case.” Chu Wuyou smiled coldly instead of giving a proper response.

She had noticed He Yufei’s strange behavior and guessed that he might be aware of something. Her test proved her suspicion.

He Yufei knew that Chu Ninger spiked the c.o.ke to harm Chu Wuyou, and yet he still sided with Chu Ninger. ‘Hmph, birds of a feather do flock together’.

Chu Wuyou did not stop him and allowed him to sit on the barstool.

She wanted to lure Chu Ninger here but it was He Yufei who came instead.

It was not Chu Ninger’s fault if He Yufei approached Chu Wuyou instead. He deserved it if he offered to be the scapegoat.

He Yufei did not understand Chu Wuyou’s remark. He pushed her palm away forcefully after taking a sit but did not find anything on the table. He frowned slightly and scanned Chu Wuyou before deciding to stand up.

However, Chu Wuyou turned to him and grinned. “Young Master He, a friendly reminder: Once you’ve sat down, you’d better not move. Otherwise, you might face a grave outcome.”
