"I don't understand what you mean."

"Don't understand? It's alright, just leave those words to Qi Yan. "

At this moment, Shi Qian appeared to be quite indifferent, but that was because Gu Wenliu was watching by the side. If there was no one else present, she would definitely rush forward and give Joanne two tight slaps on the face. She would not be able to restrain her anger.

Those who dared to hurt Qing Huan were the ones who dared to hurt her!

It was still Joanne! If Joanne knew. Qing Huan was her blood related elder sister. She would definitely regret doing such a thing!

Regardless of the reason, a despicable method like drugging was always wrong.

Until the end of the dinner, when her shallow eyes were still staring at her, Joanne had no intention of running. She still did not believe that Yin Qinghuan was more important than her to Qi Yan Shang?

From today's auction, it could be seen that he was concerned about her.

However … When he thought about Qi Yan Shang and that woman, he realized that they might be together … She hated doing that kind of thing between a man and a woman.

In the room, the doctor gave the unconscious woman a shot of the drug, moderate shock, and the best thing to do when she woke up was to take her to the hospital, but he couldn't touch her now.

"If I was a bit too late, I might have been killed."

The doctor measured the woman's heart rate and gradually recovered. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. One must know that those aphrodisiac drugs that have a strong effect are fatal.

After Fang Xu sent the doctor off, the room was completely silent. Under the dim light, the person who was sleeping soundly still had an unsightly expression on her face. The scratches on her neck and wrist became even more obvious.

Qi Yan Shang pinched the center of his brows, thinking back to what she had just said, the irritation in his heart increased.

Yin Qinghuan, what are you trying to say? What do you know?

Why do I see her in you again and again? You and her are completely different people.

Previously, he had asked Gu Wen Liu to investigate Yin Qinghuan's past. The information he had obtained was the same as the rumors he had heard. Yin Qinghuan had once been a proud and unscrupulous girl who didn't work in the proper business. She had spent the entire night on a happy occasion and flirted with many men. Her behavior was extremely indecent.

However, when he woke up that night after committing suicide for love, he had become a completely different person.

That night was also the night that something happened to Qiao Yonuo.

Was it all just a coincidence?

He didn't believe it.

"Mm …"

A faint moan could be heard. Yin Qinghuan, who was on the bed, gradually regained consciousness.

The intense headache made her frown. It was as if her eyelids were trembling because of the dazzling light.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the ceiling. She felt dizzy and wanted to vomit.

"Don't move."

Seeing that the woman was trying to get up, Qi Yanzhong pressed her shoulders and looked at her with his dark pupils.

Yin Qinghuan did not have any strength left. Although her consciousness had somewhat recovered, her head was still heavy. After a while, her voice was as weak as a mosquito's. "I feel terrible, I want to vomit."

"Just bear with it for a bit and then it'll be over."

"…"

The woman closed her eyes and opened them again, as if she couldn't believe that Qi Yan Chamber of Commerce was using such a gentle tone to talk to her.

After all, just now, even though she was controlled by the drug, she still had a memory of her own.

She instinctively tried to cling onto him, but was repeatedly resolutely pushed aside by the man, falling into the cold water time and time again.

"Do you still remember what happened tonight?"

"…"

She still didn't answer, mainly because she didn't want to talk.

"Who gave you the wine?"

Qi Yan Shang's voice became colder, and his tone was no longer as gentle as before, as if he no longer had any patience.

The woman, who had been silent for a long time, finally said lightly, "I forgot."

Forgot, isn't it good to answer all questions with just these two words?

But in fact, she clearly remembered everything that had happened tonight, including who had given her the wine to drink, including … She was in the resting room with Chu Huai, and they nearly had a relationship.

Of course, this also included the fact that when Fang Xu knocked on the door, Qi Yanzhong had an 'adultery' look on his face.

Qi Yan Shang narrowed his eyes, he knew that this was just an excuse.

Time passed second by second. It was as if they were in a silent stalemate. After a long time, she heard him say, "Just now, you said you hated me. Why?"

The woman lowered her eyes and shook her head.

"I told you, I forgot."

He forgot what had happened and forgot what he had said.

However, Qi Yan Shang didn't seem to give up, he still wanted to get to the bottom of this.

"Why do you hate me?"

This wasn't the tone of an inquiry, but of affirmation.

"Director Qi, you're thinking too much. How could I hate you?"

The woman chuckled and pursed her lips. She turned her head to look outside the window and stopped talking.

Yin Qinghuan and Qi Yan had only been in bed together a few times before. They had been willing to give in to the demands of their bodies. Now that they had broken that relationship, he and she were strangers.

How could she hate a stranger?

"But I'm still very grateful that you didn't touch me tonight."

She was speaking from the bottom of her heart as she thanked him for pushing her into the water time and time again. Even though the taste was unpleasant, she was still able to prevent the mistake from happening again.

Qi Yan Qi's eyes were downcast, his expression was indifferent, and there was no sign of joy or anger.

The atmosphere in the room was deathly still, until the end of the banquet.

And Joanne, too.

"Qing Huan, what's wrong?"

As soon as she entered the room, Joanne assumed a worried expression and approached the person on the bed. However, she was stopped by Shi Qian.

"Joanne, you still have the nerve to ask? I heard about what you and Fiona did!"

Shidi truly admired Joanne. She was still acting at such a time. Even if he couldn't find Fiona and the assistant, he could still testify that all of this had something to do with her, Joanne!

"I don't know what you're talking about. Don't tell me you suspect me of harming Qing Huan?"

"Not doubt, but certainty."

"How can you say that without any proof?" As Joanne spoke, her gaze turned to Qi Yan Shang, who had a pair of deep black eyes and a sharp yet cold expression.

She walked forward, her eyes filled with innocence. "Brother-in-law, you have to believe me, I've never done such a thing!"

Brother-in-law.

It had been a long time since he had heard this word from Joanna.

Only now did she think of calling him brother-in-law, which made Yin Qinghuan feel disgusted.

This little sister, she really knew how to make use of her dead sister.

"Joanne, do you still want to argue? Could it be that I will slander you? "

At that moment, she was so angry that she glanced at the woman lying on the bed without saying anything. She looked weak, and her face was deathly pale. That kind of medicine was very harmful to the human body.

Uncle Qiao and Yino were both kind-hearted people, but how could the Qiao family raise a vicious person like Joanne?

"Special assistance, you have no evidence. If it is not a false accusation, then what is it?"

"Enough, stop arguing."

Gu Wen Liu pressed his hand on his wife's wrist. She was extremely excited right now, he couldn't let her be provoked any further.

"Qing Huan, say something. Who gave you the wine and tricked Chu Huai into the resting room?" At times, Qian Qian had to break free from the man's restraints. She took a few steps forward and walked to the bedside, wanting Yin Qinghuan to tell her the truth.

However, the response she got was still the other party's silence.

"She said she forgot."

The one who spoke was Qi Yan, her deep voice was filled with ridicule, her thin lips were curled into a sneer as she cast a glance at the unmoved woman on the bed.

That's what she said, if he remembered correctly.

"How could this be …" "Qing Huan?" She didn't believe that Ye Ci would forget. She should at least remember some of it when she was sober, right?

When Joanne heard this, she was secretly delighted, but her expression did not change. Regardless of whether Yin Qinghuan had truly forgotten or not, they were unable to find her. Her hands had always been clean. Fiona got the assistant to buy the medicine, and Fiona let Yin Qinghuan drink the wine.

"Yeah, I don't remember."

After being silent for a long time, the woman finally opened her mouth. In any case, Qi Yanzhong would always side with Joanna in the end. Since that was the case, why should she waste her breath?

Fiona was just being used. In the end, he was just cannon fodder.

"Brother-in-law, Qing Huan said that she forgot. What should I do? Who can prove my innocence now?"

Joanne was framed. Her delicate and pitiful appearance was very innocent. She held onto the man's arm and spoke with grievance, "If only big sister was still here, she would definitely believe me."

Qi Yan Shang's thin lips formed a line, he brushed the woman's hand away and said lightly, "I trust you."

Joanne's eyes flashed with tears. "Brother-in-law …"

"Qi Yan Shang, you …"

He was furious. He didn't think that Joanne would be so good at acting. He also didn't expect Qi Yanzhong to believe him so easily.

The back of her hand felt cold, and she lowered her head to look down. Qing Huan held her hand, and her palm felt cold. She lightly shook her head, indicating that she should stop talking.

Shi Qian was unwilling to let this matter go like this. He thought that if he could find Fiona, then it would be great. He wanted to see how Joanne would go back on her word!

Gu Wen cast a sidelong glance at the woman on the bed. With a deep look in his eyes, he lifted his lips and said, "Shidang, come home with me."

After a night of hustling and bustling, it was about time for it to stop.

Naturally, Shi Xueman was unwilling. She could see the distrust in Gu Wenliu's eyes and thought that she was just messing around tonight, purposely framing Joanna.

"I'm not leaving, I …" However, before she could finish her words, her body was suddenly lifted up by someone. Naturally, she didn't dare to move recklessly as she had a big belly, afraid that she would fall down.

"Gu Wenliu, put me down!"

Seeing that she had been carried away, Yin Qinghuan tiredly closed her eyes. She really didn't have the mood to pursue tonight's matter. All she wanted was a good night's sleep.

Although the doctor had injected the medicine into her and the red rash on her body had faded quite a bit, the skin on her wrists and neck … They were all ripped apart by the scorching pain.

"Qing Huan, what happened tonight is really too scary. You must pay more attention in the future and not waste your body anymore."

Joanne bent over and patted the back of the woman's hand, trying to comfort her. But why did the words she said sound so ear-piercing?

"You wouldn't be at such a disadvantage if you were a bit more shrewd." Qi Yan Shang's words were no better than Joanna's.

The woman pursed her lips as her smile was filled with mockery.

"Has Director Qi never suffered such a loss before?"

Well, she still remembered the first time, his ferocity.

Suddenly, the man's expression turned cold. A cold light flashed through his deep eyes.
