467 Divert His Attention

In the kitchen, Xu Linyuan was making medicine, wondering who was trying to harm Xu Wu.

According to what the nanny said, only Xu Jiao had come in before. Apart from coming in and walking around, Xu Jiao had never touched the medicine pot and had no chance to put the drug in.

Just as he was racking his brains to figure out who the murderer was, Xu Jiao’s voice sounded at the door. This time, she did not come in. Instead, she stuck her head in and said timidly, “Brother Linyuan, I brought you a change of clothes. I think your clothes are dirty. You should get changed. It’s not comfortable to wear dirty clothes.”

Seeing Xu Jiao, Xu Linyuan narrowed his deep eyes. He recalled that the nanny had said that only Xu Jiao had come in here before, but she didn’t approach the medicine pot. However, what if these two people colluded…

Although there was no conclusive evidence, the seed of suspicion bloomed in his heart again.

At the thought of this, he looked at the stain on his clothes and shook his head. He rejected in a slightly cold voice, “No need. I’ll change after I finish making the medicine.”

Xu Jiao gritted her teeth and looked at the clothes in her hand. She hung them on the clothes rack in the living room and walked into the kitchen. She looked at the bowl that was prepared to be filled with medicine. When Xu Linyuan was not paying attention, she used the same trick to flick the dust under her nails into the bowl. She pointed at the bottom of the bowl in surprise and said, “Brother Linyuan, this bowl doesn’t seem to be clean. I’ll go wash it!”

Xu Linyuan’s gaze also landed on the bowl. Seeing that the bowl was indeed not very clean, he felt a strange feeling in his heart. He remembered clearly that when he took the bowl out, it was clean. Why was there suddenly dust? Could it be that he was mistaken?

“Alright, go and wash it then!”

A glint quickly flashed across Xu Jiao’s eyes. She smiled and washed the bowl under the tap. From the corner of her eye, she saw that Xu Linyuan was not looking over. She quickly placed the crushed cephalosporin at the bottom of the bowl and used the remaining water to dissolve it. She also placed the colander on the bowl to cover it.

“Brother Linyuan, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go out first. By the way, I hung the clothes on the hanger. Remember to change your clothes later.”

Seeing her leave, Xu Linyuan felt that something was amiss. His gaze landed on the bowl and he said in a low voice, “Who allowed you to enter my room and touch my things?”

Xu Jiao’s face immediately stiffened, and the smile on her face froze. She quickly clenched her fists and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Brother Linyuan. I-I didn’t do it on purpose. It’s just that you’re wearing dirty clothes, so I thought you must be uncomfortable…”

She bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with grievance.

“Remember, you’re not allowed to enter my room in the future. Don’t forget your identity. If there’s a next time, there won’t be a place for you in this house.” Xu Linyuan looked at her coldly and warned.

He was not a good-tempered person to begin with. He could not accept Xu Jiao going to his room to rummage through the wardrobe without asking.

Not to mention her, even Cheng Ronghua had to ask for permission to enter his room. What right did Xu Jiao have?

Xu Jiao was so frightened by his stern tone that her face turned pale. She pursed her lips and her body trembled slightly. Tears welled up in her eyes. She choked and said, “Brother Linyuan, I’m sorry. It won’t happen again.”

With that, she turned around and jogged away. The moment she ran out, all her grievances instantly disappeared, and a sinister smile appeared on her face.

“Xu Wu, Qin Xin, let’s see who can live till the end.”

Of course, she knew that Xu Linyuan hated it when others entered his room, let alone rummaged through his wardrobe. The reason why she angered Xu Linyuan was to divert his attention.
