Pregnant After Healing the Alpha-Chapter 667 - 656: Qiao Jing’s Domineering Comeback against Lou Xinrou

Chapter 667: Chapter 656: Qiao Jing’s Domineering Comeback against Lou Xinrou

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, sweat broke out in her palms, and nervously she clenched her fists.

But she had prepared so extensively, she wouldn’t be easily frightened into exposing herself by just a remark from Qiao Jing.

Lou Xinrou put on a smile again and said with much self-reproach,

"Do you really dislike these dishes? I’m sorry, I truly didn’t do it on purpose. I genuinely didn’t know what you liked, I know explaining so much now is useless, it’s all my fault, I should have inquired about your preferences before cooking."

She had thought her secret was exposed, but after careful consideration, it wasn’t possible.

The seller had reassured her multiple times that the drug could not be detected by others, Qiao Jing would absolutely not discover it!

Su Manhan and Zhan Nanqing were stunned, looking at Qiao Jing with confusion.

Zhan Nanqing came to Qiao Jing’s side and asked,

"What’s the matter?"

Su Manhan glanced casually at Lou Xinrou, then looked at Qiao Jing with a worried expression.

"What happened?"

Although she did not know what specifically had occurred, Qiao Jing wouldn’t ask Lou Xinrou to leave just because the food wasn’t to her liking, she believed.

Because from what she knew of Qiao Jing, she knew he was not the kind to be petty and miserly.

If Qiao Jing really was that petty, he wouldn’t have forgiven her and Nanqing back then, after all, her and Nanqing’s attitude wasn’t much better back then, it was even quite excessive.

Now that Qiao Jing was speaking this way, something must have happened.

Lou Xinrou with an innocent face looked at Su Manhan and the others, putting on a very self-reproachful act.

"Auntie Su, Nanqing, it might be because the dishes I made didn’t suit Qiao Jing’s taste, so she got a bit angry. But I already said I would make another batch, yet she is still angry with me... I can’t help it..."

Qiao Jing’s body temperature was gradually dropping, her expression turning frosty as she looked at Lou Xinrou, her voice clear and resolute.

"Stop pretending here, your pretentiousness really disgusts me."

She had already discovered the truth, yet Lou Xinrou still continued to deceive them, she truly had no mood to watch it anymore.

Daring to harm her child, she wouldn’t let Lou Xinrou off easily.

Upon hearing Qiao Jing’s words, Lou Xinrou pursed her lips, her expression turning somewhat ugly.

"Qiao Jing, what do you mean? I have sincerely apologized to you, and even offered to make another meal, why are you still—"

She hadn’t finished her sentence when she was interrupted by Qiao Jing.

"Are you sure you haven’t tampered with these dishes?"

This question plunged the table into several seconds of silence, followed by Zhan Nanqing suddenly standing up, her face full of shock as she asked.

"What? The food has been tampered with?"

This reminded her of the last time Lou Xinrou brought a sachet to Qiao Jing, deeply worried, she looked at Lou Xinrou with suspicion.

Su Manhan tightly furrowed her brows, her face full of shock as she looked at the well-presented dishes on the table.

Previously, she could overlook Lou Xinrou’s instigation of conflicts as petty squabbles, and Qiao Jing had forgiven her, she could accept her again.

But she had never expected, Lou Xinrou would actually tamper with the food!

And not only was Qiao Jing eating this meal, she and Nanqing had eaten it too, if Lou Xinrou really did drug the food, then she intended to harm them as well!

Is this really the child she had watched grow up?

Upon hearing Qiao Jing’s words, Lou Xinrou’s face drained of color, she clenched her fists, and gritted her teeth.

"Qiao Jing, what are you talking about? Sabotage? How could I possibly sabotage the food?"

She couldn’t admit to it herself, otherwise she would be doomed!

But... how could Qiao Jing know that she had poisoned the food?

Even though it was colorless and tasteless, she had specifically smelled the dishes afterward to confirm there was no odor and she hadn’t seen the food change color. How did Qiao Jing find out?

It’s impossible!!

Seeing Lou Xinrou continue to feign ignorance, Qiao Jing’s expression darkened further, giving off an intense sense of oppression.

Her emotionless tone inexplicably sent a chill down one’s spine.

"Since you won’t admit it, I can take it to the hospital for testing. Either leave right now or I’ll call the police, and this table full of dishes will be the evidence."

Lou Xinrou could now confirm that Qiao Jing truly knew something was wrong with the food, and with the other maintaining such a firm stance, she was genuinely scared.

If Qiao Jing conducted a hospital test and called the police, then the police would definitely arrest her!

Moreover, if her grandfather and father found out that she had attempted to drug someone, she would definitely be kicked out of the family!!

Lou Xinrou just stared at Qiao Jing for a while, her nails digging deeply into her flesh unknowingly, and she bit her lip until it bled, not caring at all.

But she was worried that Qiao Jing might actually call the police and have her arrested, and since the other party didn’t seem to be joking, she had no choice but to leave with her tail between her legs.

Su Manhan and Zhan Nanqing saw this and immediately understood—the food really was tampered with.

Otherwise, Lou Xinrou wouldn’t have left so guiltily.

Zhan Nanqing still remembered the last time Lou Xinrou had given her a sachet with something that could cause a miscarriage inside. If the drug used this time was of a similar type...

She frowned and asked anxiously,

"Qiao Jing, what kind of drug did she use? Are all these dishes tainted?"

Qiao Jing hummed lightly and looked at the several dishes on the table.

"None of you should eat them."

When she was serving the food, she had specifically taken a bit from each dish, finally confirming that each one had been poisoned.

Apparently, Lou Xinrou had gone to great lengths to make her ingest the abortion drug, daring to poison every dish, without even considering the health of Su Manhan and Zhan Nanqing.

Although the abortion drug was primarily aimed at causing miscarriages in pregnant women, it could also slightly affect non-pregnant individuals.

Qiao Jing’s gaze upon the dishes grew colder as she slowly said,

"Throw them all out."

She didn’t want to waste food, but until then, she had no choice but to dispose of everything on the table.

As for Lou Xinrou drugging her, she would handle that. Although she had just let Lou Xinrou go, she didn’t say she would let her off that easily.

After dropping that remark, Qiao Jing greeted the other two and left Purple Garden to go home for dinner.

This incident had crossed her limits; Lou Xinrou was recklessly pushing boundaries in her danger zone!

Zhan Nanqing was even more infuriated now and immediately picked up a plate to dump its contents into the trash.

Her intuition told her the drugs Lou Xinrou had used were definitely not simple, and very likely were something like the abortion drug, given her prior behavior; this time was undoubtedly no better.

She regretted believing Lou Xinrou’s apology just a moment ago—the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She shouldn’t have trusted her!

Just as Zhan Nanqing was about to dump the food into the trash, Su Manhan suddenly spoke up and stopped her.

"Wait! Don’t throw it away just yet!"
