Chapter 70 I am a vicious stepmother 14
Halfway through the banquet, Qingyu became drowsy, propping her head up with her hand, slightly raising her chin, and gazing into the distance with a dreamy look in her eyes.
"Why hasn't anyone drugged her yet..." Qingyu murmured, actually staring at the surveillance video in front of her.
Just then, Qingyu caught a glimpse of Baitao doing something in the corner—
She narrowed her eyes slightly, quickly zooming in on the image—
Huh? Bai Tao actually drugged me? She's the female lead, how could she drug me?
Even though Qingyu was very knowledgeable, she was somewhat at a loss at this moment.
When she thought of getting up to do something, she saw that all the lights in the hall suddenly went out, except for the lights on the central stage.
Mr. Liu led Liu Chen onto the stage, both of them smiling. Mr. Liu then said, "This is my daughter's birthday banquet. Thank you all for coming. I, Mr. Liu, only have this one daughter, and she is the apple of my eye..."
Qingyu ignored all the polite words and instead recalled that in the story, the Liu family banquet was to announce a new product and to openly declare that Liu Xiaoyu had reached marriageable age...
This stunt, while it did garner some attention, ultimately became a source of amusement for many.
As expected, Mr. Liu on stage soon began to announce their new product, and his eloquent manner elicited various expressions from the crowd below.
Qingyu's gaze fell on Bai Tao, and seeing the latter hand the spiked wine to Lu Linyan, her interest grew even stronger.
Qingyu even began to suspect that the original owner of the body really did drug the woman in the story. Could it be that she was taking the blame for the female lead?
On a whim, she moved directly closer to Lu Linyan.
"What are you talking about?" A gentle female voice suddenly rang out, soothing Lu Linyan's irritability and impatience. He turned his head in surprise, his expression softening instantly. "Qingyu, what brings you here?"
Qingyu's eyes inadvertently swept over Lu Linyan's glass of wine, and she chuckled softly. The next second, she noticed that Bai Tao's body tensed up and her expression became unnatural for a moment.
She said with a half-smile, "Let's see what Miss Bai is talking about with you. No wonder you like Miss Bai, she's so considerate."
The seemingly random sentence left people somewhat confused. Bai Tao's eyes trembled, and her lips turned white from being bitten. She subconsciously wanted to look up at Qing Yu, but she held back tightly, not daring to show the slightest sign of something amiss.
She saw it...
She wants to save this scumbag? She can't let go of him, can she?
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, but Bai Tao smiled innocently, "Qingyu...you deserve the best."
So don't dwell on Lu Linyan, it's not worth it.
"Don't talk nonsense." Lu Linyan couldn't stand it anymore. He always felt that Bai Tao was being sarcastic. He used to ignore it, but now he couldn't stand it.
Qingyu is his; he is the best person!
Thinking of this, a strange light flashed in Lu Linyan's eyes, and that thought in his heart grew deeper and deeper.
He knew he couldn't wait any longer; he had to make a decision soon and salvage everything!
Upon hearing this, Bai Tao pursed her lips without speaking, then downed the wine in her hand in one gulp, her mouth filled with a strong taste of alcohol and a faint bitterness.
Qingyu saw this clearly and couldn't help but give Baitao a thumbs up for her ruthlessness.
If she wasn't mistaken, Bai Tao must have also put drugs in her own wine glass...
They really don't overlook even the slightest loophole; they're ruthless to themselves.
Lu Linyan frowned. "How are you going to get home if you're drunk?"
Bai Tao glanced at him and smiled wryly, "I'm not going to let you deliver it."
In any case, none of them can leave.
Lu Linyan was a little puzzled by what he heard and was about to say something when Liu's father on the stage had already finished speaking and strode towards them.
Qingyu immediately sensed something was wrong. This lecherous old man was walking towards her with a lecherous look on his face, and he probably had some bad intentions.
She immediately turned to leave, but the next moment Mr. Liu shouted, "Miss Gao, may I ask you to dance?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.
Some couldn't stand it and directly mocked, "Mr. Liu, you've had too much to drink. Miss Gao is your junior, and you're not even familiar with her. How can you be so shameless?"
These words were straightforward, but no one present refuted them; everyone stood in Qingyu's shoes.
Not long after, Liu's mother came over aggressively, not to Qingyu, but to grab Liu's father by the hair...
Then the latter's wig was just pulled off like that.
"Liu Ping! You've got some nerve! Don't you even know what kind of coward you are, daring to covet the bright moon in the sky! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror!"
He launched into a tirade of curses, the level of which left Qingyu speechless.
Xie Jingzhou leaned closer, suppressing a laugh, and said, "The Liu family's fortune came suddenly. They were originally just ordinary people, and Madam Liu has always been shrewish..."
Qingyu immediately understood. Madam Liu used to be dignified only to match her status, but now that her father was lustful, he could no longer restrain himself.
She couldn't help but smile, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Lu Linyan, urged by Bai Tao, drink the glass of wine...
Wow! This is going to be interesting!
"Qingyu, don't look at them, you'll be free soon," Xie Jingzhou said in a low voice, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Qingyu's eyes flickered, understanding Xie Jingzhou's meaning, and she remained silent for a moment.
The farce quickly subsided, and the banquet resumed as usual. However, everyone's eyes were fixed on the figure in the corner, and no one noticed Lu Linyan and Bai Tao's departure.
Qingyu appeared to be sitting quietly on the sofa, but her mind was actually wandering to the surveillance video.
Lu Linyan and Bai Tao had already arrived at the room. Both of them had been drugged, but the former seemed to have been drugged more severely, as his face was flushed and he was even losing consciousness.
Aside from her flushed cheeks, Bai Tao remained remarkably calm.
"You can't watch the following parts, they're censored." The system warned at the right moment, its small eyes darting around, the whole ball turning bright red in a panic.
Qingyu couldn't help but chuckle and teased, "I didn't expect you to be such a pure-hearted person!"
The system did not refute, but awkwardly shut down the monitoring and huddled in a corner without saying a word.
Actually, it's hundreds of years old, so it shouldn't be a problem for it to see these things, right?
The system was so nervous it couldn't speak. It secretly opened the video, only to be met with a pixelated mess.
System: "..." I knew I couldn't watch it!
--------------
Qingyu hadn't seen Lu Linyan by the time the banquet was almost over. She was surrounded by a group of people, including Liu Chen and Liu Xiaoyu, who chattered away like birds. Qingyu kept a calm expression, but she was actually waiting to see when Lu Linyan and Bai Tao's affair would be discovered.
Persistence pays off. Just then, a startled cry came from upstairs, instantly attracting the attention of most of the people.
Hearing the commotion, everyone rushed over, pushed open the door, and saw that the room was in a mess, with clothes scattered on the floor, and two people on the bed were pressed tightly together, their skin touching.
"this......"
Someone recognized Lu Linyan and was so surprised that they couldn't speak.
They initially thought it was someone inactive, but it turned out to be the heir of the Lu family.
But Lu Linyan is already married!
At this moment, Lu Linyan finally regained some of his senses. His face was flushed, and he suddenly opened his eyes. When he saw the crowd around him, his face darkened, and his eyes were filled with shock and panic.
He...was set up!
On the other side, Bai Tao quickly put on her clothes and tidied her hair. Compared to Lu Linyan's dark face, her expression was extremely panicked, with tears in her eyes, like a frightened little rabbit.
Only Qingyu noticed the fleeting smugness in Baitao's eyes and the slight relaxation in her body.
Clearly, Bai Tao felt that everything was under her control.
The scene was a bit awkward. The people present were all prominent figures who had previously tried to curry favor with Lu Linyan, but upon seeing Qingyu today, they all instinctively felt indignant on Qingyu's behalf.
"Mr. Lu, what's going on?" someone finally couldn't help but ask.
