Chapter 1215: Li Qingcang Was Drugged
“You...”
Grandma Li stood up, infuriated. Anger stirred within her.
Old Grandma Xie turned to her nurse. “This old lady has too much to drink. Help her upstairs to take a rest.”
“I don’t need to go there. I’m not drunk.”
Grandma Li remembered that she had a task on hand and did not want to leave so soon.
“If you don’t wish to go, then keep quiet.” Old Grandma Xie ignored Grandma Li and started the banquet.
With Grandma Xie taking charge, the engagement banquet went smoothly. The rest of the Li family members who met her for the first time were in awe.
Grandma Li patted Ying Yimei’s hand under the table. Ying Yimei gave Grandma Li an understanding smile. It was important to be humble sometimes. What did it matter if they looked down on her now? It was fine. It was inevitable that she had to suffer to succeed.
She did not care if she had to go through hell just to get what she wanted.
She wanted to win this time so badly. She would rewrite her fate one day.
Grandma Li suddenly said to her grandson cordially, “Qingcang, regardless of everything, it’s your big day today. Come, shouldn’t you have a toast with me?”
Li Qingcang held Ye Tianxin’s hand and walked to Grandma Li. She took the bottle of wine placed in front of her and poured him a glass.
“Qingcang, no matter what happens, today is your big day. I should give you my blessing. Let’s drink up.”
Li Qingcang lifted the glass and brought it close to his lips. He thought the wine smelled strange. It was unlike the one he drank earlier.
At that moment, Li Qingcang did not think his grandmother would be so foolish as to do something without thinking of the consequences.
“Tianxin.”
Grandma Li did not sound as curt to Ye Tianxin as before. Her tone was much more gentle and friendly than before.
This change in attitude made Ye Tianxin suspicious.
It reminded her of how she unknowingly played into the hands of Lu Qingxin before. Now that she had grown wiser, she was on guard,
The one closest to you would catch you unaware and stab you in the back in the most unexpected way.
Li Qingcang looked at his grandmother. She was trying to avert his gaze and did not dare to look him in the eye.
Shortly after, during the banquet, Grandma Li said to Li Qingcang, “Qingcang, I’m feeling a little giddy. Can you bring me into the room to rest?”
“Mom, Qingcang is the star of this banquet. I’ll ask the nurse to bring you in instead.”
Since it was the engagement banquet of Li Qingcang and Ye Tianxin, it was not appropriate for Li Qingcang to leave halfway through. It would appear rude to the guests.
“Dad, it’s all right. I’ll just accompany Grandma for a while. Tianxin, wait for me.”
The event was held at a very prestigious clubhouse with plenty of amenities. Grandma Li should be able to rest comfortably.
Li Qingcang helped Grandma Li into the room. Grandma Li looked at him with a tinge of guilt.
“Qingcang, I love you most.”
Li QIngcang took a deep breath and tried to compose himself. “Grandma, let me help you onto the bed.”
“All right.”
Grandma Li glanced at Li Qingcang and wondered if the drug had taken effect. He looked a little dazed.
“Qingcang, are you drunk? Do you want to take a rest too?”
Li Qingcang nodded. “Yes, I think I may be drunk...”
“You should rest in the next room.”
Li Qingcang grunted and went into the next room. When Grandma Li saw him lying on the bed, she had found her chance. She picked up the phone and dialed Ying Yimei’s number.
“Yimei, come here quick. Everything’s ready.”
