Chapter 294 - Each of Them Had Their Own Plans
At that moment, Jiang Hao picked up the bottle and deftly filled a glass for himself, while also pouring one for Mother Jia and Jia Renyi.
He then handed them their glasses, his gaze settling on Mother Jia and Jia Renyi as he began to speak.
“Once we drink this wine, all past grievances between us will be erased.”
Mother Jia's face lit up with feigned surprise, but inwardly, she scoffed.
“You may think our old scores are settled, but soon it'll be time to settle the score you have with us.”
“Very well, let's drink to that!”
In the wake of her apparent joy, Mother Jia's expression turned to one of nervousness as she ventured a question.
“Mr. Jiang, since you've forgiven us, about the poison afflicting Renjie—what are your thoughts?”
Jiang Hao feigned ignorance at her question.
“Poison? What poison?”
“Is Brother Renjie poisoned?”
“No worries, it's just a bit of poison! Here, take this antidote pill for Brother Renjie. He'll be back on his feet in no time!”
With that, Jiang Hao produced a medicine bottle from his pocket and tipped out a white pill.
A glimmer of relief passed through Jia Renyi's eyes upon recognizing the pill—it was the same antidote Jiang Hao had given him in Xue Zixi's office.
Mother Jia, catching the cue from Jia Renyi's reaction, was instantly elated.
She hadn't expected Jiang Hao to reveal the antidote so casually.
“Naive little fool!” she thought.
“You've walked right into the trap!”
“Just wait, we'll have our turn soon!”
She chuckled to herself.
Eagerly, she reached out to snatch the antidote from Jiang Hao, but he smoothly withdrew his hand.
Mother Jia's anxiety was palpable as she watched him.
Unperturbed, Jiang Hao placed the antidote on the table, then lifted his glass, signaling to Mother Jia and Jia Renyi.
“The antidote will stay here. We drink this wine to dissolve old wounds, and only then can you take the antidote.”
Mother Jia and Jia Renyi exchanged a knowing smile, without a hint of suspicion, and lifted their glasses in response.
“Alright! With this drink, let's consider all our past grievances erased!”
Jiang Hao raised his glass in a toast.
Jia Renyi and Mother Jia didn't hesitate to drink.
Watching them, a slight smile played at the corners of Jiang Hao's mouth.
He then drained his own glass.
Once the trio had shared the drink, Mother Jia quickly grabbed the antidote from the table and urgently instructed Butler Jia.
“Butler, hurry, take this medicine to my son at once!”
“Yes, Madam!”
With that, Butler Jia swiftly took the antidote and departed.
Mother Jia's gaze shifted to Jiang Hao, now tinged with mockery.
As if on cue, Mother Jia and Jia Renyi both stepped back in unison.
With a wave of her hand, several burly men, seemingly prepared for this moment, burst forth from the sidelines.
Armed with guns, they encircled Jiang Hao, while shielding Mother Jia and Jia Renyi behind them.
“Nobody move, stay right there!”
Jiang Hao, apparently caught off guard, looked at Mother Jia and Jia Renyi, his face etched with displeasure.
“Madam Jia, Second Young Master Jia, what is the meaning of this?”
In that instant, Jia Renyi's true nature surfaced. Squinting one eye, he burst into derisive laughter.
“Haha…”
“You little wretch, you've made me suffer so much. And my elder brother is still bedridden, enduring excruciating pain!”
“Did you really think I'd let you off the hook so easily?”
“You're far too naive!”
