Chapter 99 Trick John
John hadn't seen the news in the company's WeChat group, so he didn't know that his image was tarnished.
After the meeting, Helen walked over with a cage in her hand. Inside the cage, a little rabbit with red eyes was eating carrots.
"Mr. Shi, here is the rabbit you want."
John stared at the rabbit, flashing a murderous look. "From now on, no rabbit is allowed in the North Yard. Get rid of it."
"Rid of it? Didn't you buy it for Mrs. Shi?" Earlier in the afternoon, John told Helen to get a rabbit for Nina, and he was going to give it to her as a gift when she moved in.
When she learned of their conflict, Helen quickly called someone to get a rabbit for John. She hoped that it'd be enough to put their quarrel to bed.
What changed?
"Mr. Shi, don't be angry with Mrs. Shi. You said that she likes rabbits, so why do you want to get rid of it? Isn't it going to upset Mrs. Shi?" Helen was worried. She really cared about the well-being of Nina and John's relationship.
She was not so anxious when she tried to find a wife for her son.
"She doesn't like rabbits." He only found out this afternoon. He was a little annoyed wit
e pretended to be worried, but she made no active attempt to help.
"You..." When John realized what had happened, he cast a fierce glance at her. His throat burned so much that he couldn't say a complete sentence. The sour taste in his mouth had him wincing uncontrollably.
Nina was so proud of the job she was pulling off. She rushed to get a glass of milk and handed it to him considerately.
"Come on, have a glass of milk. It'll make it better."
John stared at the milk in front of him, wondering if there was anything else in it. With a malicious look on his face, he said, "You drink it first."
Nina understood his hesitation. She had to drink it to make sure it was okay.
"Okay, I'll drink it." Nina drank a large mouthful of milk and handed it to him again kindly.
Only then did John take it and drink it. The milk was still warm. Just enough to relieve the spicy taste in his throat.
After he swallowed the milk,
Nina nodded happily. She reached out to take the cup back, bowed her head and spat out the milk in her mouth.
It turned out she didn't swallow it at all.
John was astonished.
He was really duped.
