"She's inviting me out again!"
Su Man held her phone, a look of indecision on her face. She was a bit scared. After what happened last time, she was a bit in awe of this girl. However, she wanted to settle things with Shu Nian.
Otherwise, if she was constantly harassed by such a person, her future days would be filled with fear.
Regardless of whether Su Man was a young mistress or not, anyone would be flustered if they encountered such a thing.
Ding Ruola originally didn't want to get involved in the matter between the two of them.
From the very beginning, it had nothing to do with her, and it surely wouldn't in the future either.
She thought things through clearly, but she was just too soft - hearted.
After Su Man had only said three or four sentences, she couldn't hold out any longer.
In the end, she went with Su Man.
But this time, Ding Ruola and Su Man were more cautious.
Didn't Shu Nian have a grudge?
Her biggest grudge was this Xiang Bei.
Ding Ruola called Shi Zhi. "When you come, bring that little brother of yours named Xiang Bei too!"
Xiang Bei?
Shi Zhi thought carefully. There was indeed a person named Xiang Bei among his little brothers.
Shu Nian wouldn't choose someone else's territory for a dinner invitation. She picked a place she was relatively familiar with.
She knew the boss of the restaurant, so it would be easier for her to tell the boss about any arrangements.
She had thought from the start that Ding Ruola would come, so she had prepared a farewell set - meal for two people.
But there were two men and two women who came, and there was a familiar face among them.
"Xiang Bei!"
Shu Nian's body began to tremble involuntarily. Her eyes darted around, as if she was afraid of being seen by this man.
"I've invited some friends. You shouldn't mind, right!"
Friends!
Shu Nian seemed to be possessed as she repeated these two words over and over again, like a spell. Among this group of people, she was the only one cursed.
Ding Ruola gave Su Man a look.
Su Man asked Shu Nian to take them to the private room.
Throughout this meal, Shu Nian was overly enthusiastic.
What was even stranger was that she didn't mention Xiang Bei at all during the whole process, and she didn't even talk to him.
Was she no longer in love, or was she just pretending not to care?
Ding Ruola thought she was overthinking, but there was always a nagging feeling in her heart.
She deliberately pretended to feel nauseous and asked Su Man to accompany her to the toilet.
When the two men saw the two girls leave, they took the excuse of going outside to smoke and left the private room.
There was only Shu Nian left in the whole private room.
She poured the anti - inflammatory medicine she had brought at the beginning into the two wine glasses.
When Ding Ruola came back, she glanced at the trash can.
In the originally empty trash can, there were two capsule shells, one half white and the other half red.
The only medicine she could think of was cefalexin.
She didn't expect this woman to be somewhat skillful.
She nudged Su Man with her elbow.
"The wine glasses are dirty. There's something in the wine."
Ding Ruola naturally wouldn't give Shu Nian any face. How could she let go of a woman who wanted her dead?
She bent down and directly put the things in the trash can on the table.
Shu Nian's face turned from red to white and then to green.
"I didn't do it. It wasn't me."
"Did I say anything?"
Ding Ruola thought this girl was a bit funny. Had she said anything?
Confessing without being questioned, extremely stupid, and still trying to play at murder.
She stared intently into Shu Nian's eyes.
Shu Nian was already panicked. She suddenly ran to Xiang Bei's side and knelt down at his feet with a thud.
"Please, come back to me!"
Xiang Bei looked at the woman at his feet, at a loss. He looked back at Shi Zhi, asking for help.
Shi Zhi naturally wouldn't interfere in other people's emotional matters. He still gave a big smile, showing his white teeth, looking strangely eerie.
Just stall for time.
Xiang Bei said a few nice words to get Shu Nian up from the ground.
Su Man was still in a state of shock. At that time, she was only one step away from death.
If Ding Ruola hadn't seen the capsule shell in the trash can, Su Man wouldn't be sitting here safely now. She would have been in the ICU.
"Don't you think you should give us an explanation?"
Shu Nian sat in her seat, trembling all over, as if the chakra she had accumulated for a long time was about to burst out.
"If it weren't for the two of you, I wouldn't have broken up with Xiang Bei!"
Xiang Bei, sitting on one side, felt wronged. It was just a breakup. How could it lead to such a big thing?
After kidnapping Ding Ruola, Shu Nian had walked into the maze she had built for herself and couldn't get out.
She attributed the reason for the breakup entirely to Ding Ruola and Su Man.
She listed out the so - called charges one by one.
Shi Zhi always watched the show with amusement and took a few glances at Su Man from time to time to feast his eyes and relax his mood.
Ding Ruola also leaned back on the chair with her arms crossed, looking like she was watching a show.
No matter how much Shu Nian said, she had harbored the intention to kill. The attempt at murder was a definite fact. Even if the amount of medicine in the wine glasses wasn't enough to be lethal, the crime of intentional injury couldn't be escaped.
As for whether to call the police, it was up to Su Man to decide.
"Forget it. It's not necessary. She'll have a hard time in the future!"
Su Man was still soft - hearted. She remembered that when she was at her most sorrowful, no matter what her purpose was, Shu Nian had still accompanied her through that gloomy time.
Moreover, for those who offended her, this kind of short - term revenge wasn't satisfying. What she wanted was to slowly torture.
What she wanted was to tear apart everything that Shu Nian cherished and show it to her!
Shi Zhi glanced at Su Man.
Since Su Man had made a concluding speech, this dinner was over.
The only person left in the private room was Shu Nian.
The plates were in a mess, and the bright lights in the room couldn't hide the girl's desolation.
She paid the bill and left.
After that, Shu Nian didn't go to school for a long time.
The last time they saw someone related to Shu Nian was when Song He asked Ding Ruola to take Shu Nian's mother to the teaching affairs office.
Shu Nian had dropped out of school!
As for the reason, her mother naturally wouldn't tell Ding Ruola, and the school kept such information confidential.
The students in the school could only guess, and there were different opinions.
The last time Ding Ruola went home was last week.
When she went home last week, Fang Siyan wasn't at home because of work. The only time they could meet was during class at school.
When Ding Ruola didn't have classes, she would go to sit in on Fang Siyan's classes.
By the way, she would check if there were any "little fox spirits" eyeing her old Fang!
Such a catch would surely attract many little demons.
Ding Ruola was still very low - key at school.
Sometimes, Fang Siyan deliberately called Ding Ruola's name in class, and the two of them would chat for a while.
The students present didn't envy Ding Ruola. They sincerely admired her.
Most of the girls who chose this class came to admire Professor Fang's handsome appearance. Few of them came to listen to the class.
A girl like Ding Ruola who could answer questions fluently when called on was really rare.
