But even if the juice was really drugged, how could that person guarantee that she would drink it?
After all, there had been no warning when joesse had taken the fruit juice. She could have also taken the red wine or something.
From the looks of it, he should have been overthinking.
âIâm not feeling well. Iâll go sit in the lounge next door. â Joes rubbed her brows and said softly.
She put the juice on the table. Even if there was no problem with the juice, she didnât want to drink it anymore.
âUncomfortable?â
Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi frowned and scanned Joes from head to toe. He heaved a sigh of relief when he did not see any injuries.
Then, her clear voice rang out,ââUm ... My stomach doesnât feel so good. Iâll go to the lounge for a while.â
As he thought of a certain possibility, Zheng Zeyi did not ask any further. He nodded and watched as Qiao si left.
On this floor, apart from the banquet hall, there was also a lounge next door for the guests to rest.
Joes walked towards the resting room. What she did not notice was Yang Yue Yueâs sinister smile as she watched her leave.
The lounge was simple and Grand. Once you entered, you would be faced with a soft sofa, as well as a convenient place to rest.
Thatâs weird ... Why do I feel so uncomfortable?
......
Joes furrowed her brows tightly and rubbed her temples, but the strange feeling in her body followed her like a shadow.
If she didnât remember wrongly, the symptoms only appeared after she entered the banquet hall.
âJuice?â Jossi mumbled softly. She had placed that glass of fruit juice in the banquet hall. If it had really been drugged, then it would be solid evidence!
At the thought of this, her heart tightened and she turned to leave the lounge.
At this moment, a familiar male voice came from behind her, with a hint of a smile,ââMiss Qiao, why are you in such a hurry to leave? arenât you going to stay for a while?â
Alarm bells went off in joesseâs heart, and a chill ran up her spine.
She didnât need to turn around to know who was standing behind her. It was the man who had just entered the banquet hall with Yang Yue Yue, Qian Qian, Li Cheng.
By now, even if the symptoms in her body were not obvious, Joes knew that this was a conspiracy.
There was definitely something wrong with that glass of fruit juice!
Li Cheng saw that Qiao sisiâs figure had frozen on the spot, and his mocking smile deepened. He slowly took a few steps forward and said,ââMiss Qiao, why arenât you saying anything? arenât you being a little rude?â
As the sound got closer, joesseâs eyes became more determined and she took a deep breath.
The next moment, she bit the tip of her tongue and used the pain to force herself to wake up. Her mind suddenly became much clearer.
âSo itâs boss li ... I didnât know you were here. In that case, Iâll take my leave first.â
Joesâs gaze was alert as she forced a smile. After she finished speaking, she turned and ran towards the door.
The only hope they had was to leave the lounge!
Otherwise, she, a woman who could not even truss a chicken, would definitely not be able to win against Li Cheng. There was a natural gap between the two of them in terms of strength.
However, she had just taken a step forward when her wrist was suddenly clamped down by a large hand. The force was so strong that it seemed as if it was going to crush the bones in her hand.
Joes gritted her teeth and turned to look at Li Cheng, her eyes filled with anger.
âLi Cheng, I advise you to think about the consequences before you do anything. Iâm Zheng Zeyiâs fiancée. If you dare to do anything to me, his anger ... Will you be able to bear it?â
Joes shouted and tried to struggle, but Li Chengâs strength was much greater than she had imagined, and she could not pull her hand out.
She completely believed that this was Yang Yue Yue and Li Chengâs plot, and they were indeed in cahoots.
Li Cheng laughed evilly and looked at her with fiery eyes.âZheng Zeyi? Do you think he would go against my Li family for a broken shoe? Think about it carefully. â
His tone was extremely firm, as if he was certain that nothing would happen even if something happened between him and Joes.
Joesâs eyes narrowed and her body gradually relaxed. She said coldly,ââLet go, I wonât run. It hurts when you grab me.â
Hearing her calm words, Li Chengâs eyes flashed with a hint of shock. After a long while, he let go of joesseâs hand. As expected, he kept his word and did not run away. Instead, he stood in place.
Joes glanced at the main door. It had been locked at some point in time, so there must be someone outside to receive Li Cheng.
Yang Yue Yue ... Very well, Iâll remember this!
After thinking about it for a while, Joes slowly heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on the soft sofa.
The soreness in her body was getting worse and worse. The glass of fruit juice was probably drugged, which was why she felt so uncomfortable.
âDid you and Yang Yue Yue plan this together?â
The clear voice that belonged solely to Jossi rang out and reverberated in the lounge. It made her appear calm and unhurried.
Joes had indeed calmed down. Now that things had come to this, there was no point in panicking.
It was better to sort out the current situation and delay time.
As soon as Zheng ze noticed anything unusual, he might come to the lounge to look for her. This was her greatest hope at the moment.
As for making a scene in the lounge to attract the guests in the banquet hall, that was probably the stupidest way.
The soundproofing of such high-end places was very good. Not to mention that the people in the banquet hall couldnât hear it, even if the soundproofing was poor, it would be suppressed by the music in the banquet hall.
Moreover, it would also enrage Li Cheng and aggravate the situation. The loss outweighs the gain.
Within a short period of time, Joes had thought through everything and chose the most suitable method for herself.
Li Cheng became more interested when he saw Qiao sisi sitting so calmly on the sofa. He raised his eyebrows and leaned on the other sofa.
âWhy ...â He said with a smile,âmiss Qiao, donât you feel scared? you still have the mood to ask me this question.â
âWhatâs the use of being afraid?â
Li Cheng nodded his head in satisfaction at joesseâs question and clapped for her.
âAs expected of the woman that President Zheng fancied. Sheâs quite bold. As for who did it, you donât need to know.â
Li Cheng was still cautious and did not expose the mastermind behind the scenes so as not to leave any evidence.
âItâs yang Yue Yue, right?â The corners of Joesâs lips curled up slightly, and there was a hint of mockery in her smile.
Other than Yang Yue Yue, who else would hate her so much?
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng shrugged his shoulders.ââYou can think whatever you want.â
âSince you donât want to say it, Iâll take it as a silent agreement.â
After saying that, joesse furrowed her brows. That sore and weak feeling surged up again, and her body felt powerless.
