Chapter 810: The Stabbing Broken Needle and the Drugged Milk (11)
Qi Weixin’s sleeping pills belonged to Qi Lian, and a doctor’s prescription was required to obtain sleeping pills. Qi Lian had a total of eight pills; the day before yesterday, he took one, leaving seven pills that were all put into Ruan Jiaojiao’s milk.
Consuming all seven pills might not take Ruan Jiaojiao’s life, but it would assuredly make her drowsy, especially with the needle fragments in her stomach... the Ruan Family dared not contemplate the consequences.
In light of Ruan Lei’s meritorious service protecting his sister today, Ruan Jianguo praised him generously and even rewarded him with five yuan in change.
As for Xiu Xi, they could never thank him enough, and Shu Jiao became even more resolute in her previous conviction that Xiu Xi must always stay by her daughter’s side. Otherwise, with her own capabilities alone, she might truly be unable to protect her daughter.
The incident became a big deal. By the third period, both Ruan Feng and Lu Zishu had heard about it and rushed to Ruan Jiaojiao’s classroom.
Lu Zishu complained, "Lei, why didn’t you tell me! If my mom finds out about this, she’ll definitely beat me up."
"Beat you up for what?" Ruan Feng asked, puzzled.
"Because I failed to protect my sister!" Lu Zishu asserted as if it were obvious.
"Thank you, Brother Zishu," Ruan Jiaojiao said, well aware that Lu Zishu was using Zhao Li as a shield. In reality, he was just too embarrassed to say he cared about her.
"Tch, don’t flatter yourself, I don’t care about you," Lu Zishu retorted, his mouth twisting awkwardly.
Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t argue, but just smiled at him and handed him two big handfuls of the soft candies Ruan Jianguo had bought for her before leaving.
