Chapter 429: 125: A not-to-be-missed drama!_3
“Baichuan, you’ve misunderstood me… I didn’t use that kind of drug…” Li Xianxian cried, her tears streaking through her make-up. It broke Mo Baichuan’s heart to see her like this. After all, he had known Li Xianxian for more than two years. She had always been good to him, and even published a book this year.
Would Li Xianxian ever do something like drugging someone?
“Whether or not you’ve used the drug, wouldn’t going to the doctor’s office confirm it? Li Xianxian, are you willing to go?” Zheng Xianjing demanded fiercely.
“Baichuan, don’t you trust me?” Li Xianxian looked up at Mo Baichuan, her almond-shaped eyes red and swollen.
Mo Baichuan looked at Li Xianxian, wavering in his resolve.
“Brother Baichuan,” Zheng Xianjing quickly countered, “Be calm! Don’t be fooled by this woman. By the way, Brother Baichuan, did you drink the wine? If you did drink, there’s no way you wouldn’t react.”
Mo Baichuan hadn’t realized until Zheng Xianjing mentioned it, but he began to feel a heat rising from his lower abdomen.
Mo Baichuan grabbed Li Xianxian’s arm, “Come with me to the doctor’s office.”
Zheng Xianjing held the wine glass, her eyes gleaming with malicious pleasure.
“I didn’t use that kind of drug!” Li Xianxian cried out indignantly, exclaiming, “I won’t go!”
Zheng Xianjing scoffed, “The innocent are always without fear, if you’re innocent, why are you afraid to go?”
“Baichuan, I haven’t… I really haven’t… Believe me…” Li Xianxian pleaded with teary eyes, directing her plaintive gaze at Mo Baichuan, “This will affect my reputation for life. I hope you consider it all very carefully.”
“Let’s go!” Mo Baichuan had completely lost trust in Li Xianxian, as his feeling of warmth had only gotten stronger.
It was strange, he even felt like he was breaking into a sweat.
Mo Baichuan pulled Li Xianxian all the way to the doctor’s office while Zheng Xianjing followed grinning triumphantly.
The doctor in the office was a high school classmate of Mo Baichuan’s, named Yin Xiaocheng.
Mo Baichuan took the wine glass from Zheng Xianjing and handed it to Yin Xiaocheng, “Help me verify if there’s anything wrong with this wine.”
Without asking any further questions, Yin Xiaocheng accepted the glass and retired into the lab, “Wait for me for ten minutes.”
Li Xianxian watched as the lab door shut, her face a complex mix of emotions.
Zheng Xianjing looked at Li Xianxian’s despair with a gratified smile.
Who would have thought the impressive Li Xianxian would be reduced to this!
After ten minutes, the lab door reopened. Yin Xiaocheng, in his full lab gown, walked out.
The smug look on Zheng Xianjing’s face was brighter than ever.
Mo Baichuan rushed up to him immediately, “So, how was it?”
Yin Xiaocheng removed his mask, “Nothing is wrong with the wine, but how about you two… what is the problem?”
The wine is okay?
Zheng Xianjing’s face changed instantly, she blurted out, “Brother Yin, are you sure you were correct? How could the wine be fine? Li Xianxian definitely drugged the wine!”
“Ah,” Yin Xiaocheng said with sudden realization, “You’re talking about that kind of drug!”
“I told you there’s a drug!” Zheng Xianjing sighed in relief.
Yin Xiaocheng asked, puzzled, “What’s wrong with the drug? Is there a problem?”
Mo Baichuan cleared his throat, speaking softly, “Can we talk privately?”
After all, he thought, being drugged wasn’t something to be proud of.
After hearing the full story, Yin Xiaocheng laughed, “The feeling of warmth, sweating, these are normal symptoms from taking a stomach medicine!”
“Stomach medicine?” Mo Baichuan looked at him questioningly. “What stomach medicine?”
Yin Xiaocheng continued, “The stomach medicine that was soaked in the red wine. Didn’t Xianxian tell you? In order to help your stomach, she came to me for advice many times.”
Li Xianxian stood to the side, her face revealing neither elation at her vindication nor indignation, but a calmness that hit Mo Baichuan like a pang of guilt.
“Xianxian… I’m sorry.” Mo Baichuan struggled to speak those words.
He had never apologized to anyone in his life. Li Xianxian was the first.
Li Xianxian forced a smile, fighting back tears as she looked at Mo Baichuan, “I guess it’s my fault too. I shouldn’t have secretly put the stomach medicine into the red wine causing this misunderstanding. But what I couldn’t believe is that you didn’t trust me, Baichuan. I lost my parents when I was young, you’re the only boyfriend I’ve had, you were the only person I could trust, but… you didn’t trust me…”
With every painful word Li Xianxian spoke, guilt stabbed at Mo Baichuan’s heart.
It was he who had really wronged Li Xianxian. He had no right to question her character.
