Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 151 - 150: The Child Is Critically Ill? I Was Acting, and You Believed It?
The false concern on Liu Meiqin’s face stiffened for a moment upon hearing those words.
"Sister Wan Yi, what did you say?"
Lin Wan Yi didn’t look at her.
She just lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously stroking the edge of the book pages, as if her soul had been drawn out of her.
"Nothing."
Her voice was very soft, with a hint of hoarseness, as if she had been crying for a long time.
The stone in Liu Meiqin’s heart fell to the ground.
That’s what she thought.
She must have heard wrong.
This Lin Wan Yi, she was probably crying herself silly by now.
Liu Meiqin stepped forward, wearing just the right amount of sadness on her face, and grasped Lin Wan Yi’s hand.
"Sister Wan Yi, I heard about the child."
"You... you must stay strong."
Her hand was warm, but Lin Wan Yi’s hand was icy cold.
Lin Wan Yi seemed startled by her, suddenly raising her head.
Those beautiful almond-shaped eyes were bloodshot, with dark circles beneath them.
"The child..."
Her lips moved, and as soon as a word came out, tears fell.
[Climax 1] Through the detail of [faking weakness by crying], it shows the heroine’s calmness and strategy, luring the enemy to expose themselves.
Liu Meiqin felt a surge of elation at her tears.
Cry.
The louder, the better.
Isn’t Lin Wan Yi always high and mighty?
Don’t you have a military officer husband supporting you?
Now, aren’t you just watching helplessly as your child suffers!
She spoke even more sincerely.
"Sigh, how could such a thing happen."
"Those two children, they’re so cute."
"Who could be so cruel to harm such young children!"
As she spoke, she carefully observed Lin Wan Yi’s expression.
Lin Wan Yi wiped her tears with the back of her hand, her shoulders trembling slightly.
"I don’t know..."
"I really don’t know who I could have offended..."
Seeing her so lost and helpless, Liu Meiqin grew bolder.
She sighed, patting Lin Wan Yi’s hand back, speaking earnestly.
"Sister Wan Yi, it’s partly your fault too."
"My fault?" Lin Wan Yi looked up, her eyes full of confusion.
"Yes."
Liu Meiqin wore an expression of "I’m only saying this for your own good."
"Just look at you, coming to the school and immediately staying in a small building, getting special attention from the dean and professor."
"You drew too much attention."
"You see, when someone stands out, they’re likely to be envied."
"But..."
Liu Meiqin changed her tone, her face showing "righteous indignation".
"Envy is one thing, but to harm children, that’s inhuman!"
"Don’t you think so?"
Lin Wan Yi looked at her, but said nothing.
In those bloodshot eyes, something seemed to be cooling off bit by bit.
Liu Meiqin felt a chill under her gaze.
But thinking of those two little brats who were about to die, she straightened her back again.
What good is staring at me?
If you’ve got what it takes, go find the culprit!
She even took the initiative to inquire further, eager to witness more anguish.
"Oh right, Sister Wan Yi, how is the child now?"
"What did the doctor say? Is there any hope?"
Lin Wan Yi slowly, slowly withdrew her hand.
She lowered her eyelids, looking at her empty palm.
After a long time.
She spoke again, her voice eerily calm.
"Is that so?"
"Then what do you think should be done with the person responsible?"
Liu Meiqin was stunned.
She didn’t understand what Lin Wan Yi meant.
Just then.
"Creak—"
The door of the small room was pushed open from the outside.
Liu Meiqin instinctively turned back.
There stood a person at the door.
It was Li Li.
Her face was as white as a sheet of paper, trembling like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.
Behind Li Li was Dean Li, his face livid.
And two uniformed school security officers, their expressions stern.
[Climax 2] By suddenly introducing key figures and authorities abruptly, it creates a strong dramatic conflict and reversal.
Liu Meiqin’s mind buzzed.
The color drained from her face instantly.
"You!"
"What are you doing here!"
She pointed at Li Li, her voice shrill, altered.
Seeing her, Li Li seemed to have found a lifeline but also her executioner, King Yan.
She couldn’t hold on any longer.
"Wah—"
Li Li fell to the ground with a "thud", crying her heart out.
The security personnel stepped forward, their voices authoritative.
"Liu Meiqin, come with us."
"Someone has reported you for deliberately harming a student’s family."
Liu Meiqin shook her head frantically.
"It wasn’t me! It wasn’t me!"
"It was her! She’s making false accusations!"
She suddenly pointed at the kneeling Li Li.
"She’s the one who did it, trying to frame me!"
Li Li was crying almost to the point of breathlessness.
She raised her head, her tearful eyes looking at Dean Li, then at Lin Wan Yi.
Finally, her gaze fell on the frenzied Liu Meiqin.
That look was filled with fear and hatred.
"It was her!"
Li Li mustered all her strength, raising her hand to point at Liu Meiqin.
"It was her who forced me to do it!"
"Yesterday the school’s disciplinary result came down, her father was suspended, and she was expelled, she hated Lin Wan Yi to the core!"
"She found me and gave me a packet of medicine, telling me to slip it into the milk powder when Aunt Wang was away!"
The room fell silent.
Only Li Li’s shrill cries echoed in the small room.
"She said it was just ordinary laxative!"
"Just to make the child have diarrhea for a few days, causing Lin Wan Yi some trouble!"
"I didn’t know it would be so serious! I really didn’t know it would cause such harm! I didn’t want to kill anyone! I really didn’t!"
[Climax 3] An accomplice publicly laying bare the mastermind’s malicious plan is an undeniable fatal blow.
Hearing Li Li’s complaints, Liu Meiqin was trembling all over.
It wasn’t fear.
It was anger.
This incompetent idiot!
She screamed.
"You’re lying!"
"I didn’t! When did I give you the medicine!"
"Do you have any evidence?"
She suddenly turned around, lunging at Lin Wan Yi, who hadn’t spoken all along.
She wanted to grab the last straw.
"Sister Wan Yi! Don’t believe her! She’s lying! She has a grudge against you, deliberately dragging me into this!"
Liu Meiqin squeezed out two tears, crying with heartfelt passion.
"Sister Wan Yi, let’s ignore these lunatics!"
"Your child is the priority here!"
"Which hospital are they at now? Let’s go quickly! Maybe there’s still a chance!"
She pulled Lin Wan Yi’s arm, trying to leave.
Her anxious and worried appearance, more convincing than anyone else’s.
Lin Wan Yi let her pull.
She didn’t move.
She merely watched Liu Meiqin, watched this woman still acting.
That face, once full of sadness and bloodshot eyes, was now as clean as a block of ice.
All the vulnerability and confusion had vanished.
Replaced by an extreme calmness.
She spoke softly.
"My child?"
Liu Meiqin nodded vigorously, her face all anxious.
"Yes! Your child! Let’s go quickly!"
Lin Wan Yi smiled.
The smile was faint, yet it was like the sharpest knife, slicing through all of Liu Meiqin’s fraudulent facade.
"They’re just fine."
She spoke word by word, clearly, striking Liu Meiqin’s eardrum.
"At home, drinking milk."
