The day after the divorce, Aunt Lin couldn't wait to make me sick. She secretly added some substance to my meals, something that wouldn't be immediately fatal but would cause me to weaken rapidly over time. She wanted to pave the way for Lo Sen and my Mistress.
Fortunately, Su Qing warned me, saying that Aunt Lin had drugged my food. I pretended to be unaware and continued eating the tainted meals, putting on a show of being seriously ill in front of Aunt Lin. Seeing this, Aunt Lin couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. She probably thought she was about to succeed.
Little did she know, I was secretly observing and recording her every move. A few days later, my health seemed to really start deteriorating. While washing up in the bathroom, I deliberately let Aunt Lin see my weak appearance. Upon seeing my pale cheeks and tired eyes, she immediately showed a look of surprise. She pulled out her phone and quickly dialed Lo Sen's number.
" Sensen, Bai Xi's health is getting weaker; we can start acting now..."
I walked out of the bathroom and saw the smug smile on Aunt Lin's face. I knew she had completely bought into my act. I let out a cold laugh. Aunt Lin, since you're so eager, I'll grant your wish.
In the following days, I continued to pretend to grow weaker, putting on a show of being gravely ill in front of Aunt Lin. Both Aunt Lin and Lo Sen looked at my frail state with secret relief. Sitting on the sofa, watching them busy in the kitchen, I was filled with cold laughter. They were in the kitchen discussing how to hasten my demise while cooking.
I watched them with disdain, filled with mockery. They thought their scheme would succeed, unaware that I had already laid a trap within their plan. I deliberately coughed a few times and slowly walked into the kitchen.
Aunt Lin heard my voice and immediately turned around. Upon seeing my weak appearance, she couldn't help but show a smug smile.
She walked up to me and pretended to be concerned, saying, " Bai Xi, why are you up? You’re not feeling well; you need to rest more."
I weakly shook my head and replied, "I'm tired of lying down; I just want to stand up and move around a bit."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Lin immediately showed a worried expression. "Oh dear, you need to be careful; don’t fall!"
I nodded and said nothing more, instead quietly standing at the kitchen door, watching them busy themselves.
Lo Sen was cooking, while Aunt Lin was assisting him. The two of them worked together seamlessly, clearly having done similar tasks many times before.
I couldn't help but think of what they had done to me in the past, and my hatred surged even more. I struggled to control my emotions, not wanting to reveal any cracks in my facade.
Aunt Lin didn’t notice anything unusual about me; she remained focused on chopping vegetables. I watched her movements with narrowed eyes.
I noticed her left hand trembling slightly while her right hand held the knife steadily, cutting with skill and precision. I knew her left hand shook because she was anxious inside. Yet her right hand remained steady because it was filled with anticipation and excitement.
I understood that she was likely looking forward to seeing me die. A cold smile crept onto my face as I decided to stoke the fire further.
I deliberately leaned against the wall and slowly walked into the center of the kitchen, pretending I wanted to help.
Seeing my actions, Aunt Lin hurriedly stopped me, saying, "Don’t move; let us handle it."
I weakly insisted, "I'm fine; I can help."
Aunt Lin firmly refused, "No way! You’re not well; you mustn’t tire yourself out."
I feigned difficulty and said, "But I..."
"Enough with the 'buts'; be obedient," Aunt Lin's tone turned stern.
I pretended to be reluctant as I slowly walked back outside.
After I left the kitchen, I didn't return to my room but instead hid around the corner, secretly observing Aunt Lin's reaction. I saw her right hand pause slightly, then she pretended to be nonchalant and continued chopping vegetables. I knew she was starting to feel a bit anxious. I snorted coldly and turned back to my room. I would continue to play along until their scheme was completely exposed.
