After I caught the scumbag cheating, Mr. Xiao wanted to marry me

Chapter 264: To Steal

"I was startled and quickly called for help, and then the young master came over."

Xiao Xia said, licking her dry lips: "This is the situation. I am telling the truth and I am not lying."

As she explained what happened, Xiao Yun and Shen Lan stared into her eyes the whole time.

Although Xiao Xia was trembling with fear, she showed no signs of lying.

At the same time, the bodyguard also sent the surveillance video of the incident to Xiao Yun's mobile phone.

The video footage was exactly the same as what Xiao Xia said.

Butler Zhao's eyes flashed with excitement: "Master, now that we have both witnesses and evidence, we should be able to convict Shen Lan."

Shen Lan glanced at him in annoyance: "What do you mean by witnesses and physical evidence? You have to film a video of me poisoning you, or find the poison and prove that it's related to me. That's what we call evidence!"

She cooked under surveillance, and there was also surveillance video. After going through the progress bar, there was no sign of poisoning.

"Shen Lan, stop quibbling. Didn't you hear what Xiao Xia said? Doctor Wang stayed up all night without eating, and only ate the food you made. He was poisoned after eating it. Who else could have poisoned him if not you?"

"Don't be so categorical. Even though he only ate the food I cooked, it doesn't mean he didn't touch anything else. We're still unsure what caused the poisoning. Let's wait for the police to come and do a toxicology test."

Butler Zhao narrowed his eyes and said, "You mean you'll only confess your guilt if your food is found to be poisonous?"

"I didn't say that. Don't try to trick me." Butler Zhao was cunning and sly. Shen Lan was wary of every word he said. "You still have to prove that I was the one who poisoned you."

While the two were arguing, Xiao Yun was watching the surveillance video carefully.

He had previously focused on the kitchen but found nothing unusual. He then flipped over to the surveillance video outside the kitchen and noticed that Xiao Xia seemed very nervous before entering the kitchen, and her movements were somewhat furtive.

He asked, "Why were you looking around before you entered the kitchen? What were you nervous about?"

"I, I'm not nervous!" Xiao Xia blurted out.

Xiao Yun's eyes were cold and chilly, and he raised his momentum to the extreme, aggressively saying, "I advise you to be honest and think about your family and friends. Don't harm yourself and them because of a momentary impulse."

Xiao Xia was trembling with fear when he looked at her. Her mental state was not good to begin with, and she was instantly defeated by Xiao Yun's threat and fell to the ground.

"I, actually, I suddenly went back to the kitchen not to work, I wanted to..."

Xiao Xia glanced at Shen Lan guiltily: "I want to steal the meal that Miss Shen made for the young master."

Everyone thought they could get something out of her related to poisoning, but they didn't expect this answer. Everyone was stunned.

Shen Lan looked puzzled: "Why did you steal the food I cooked?"

Xiao Xia stammered with a look of shame. At this time, another servant working in the kitchen thought of something and spoke hesitantly.

"I think I know... Although Xiao Xia's job is to wash kitchen utensils, she is a good cook. Her father was a famous chef before he passed away. One of his special skills was to replicate other people's dishes."

When she said this, the other people in the kitchen also started to think about it.

"Yes, we have eaten the food cooked by Xiao Xia, it is indeed delicious."

"She told me that she could replicate 70% to 80% of the taste of any dish she had tasted."

Xiao Xia was flustered after being exposed by her colleagues. She didn't care about shame and took the initiative to admit: "I saw that the young master liked the food cooked by Miss Shen, so I thought I could learn how to cook. But Miss Shen, please don't get me wrong, I didn't think of replacing you. I just thought that if you have something to do one day, I can temporarily fill in."

The Xiao family is very generous to chefs, especially the young master's chef. Not only do they double their salary, but they also provide additional benefits. Many people are scrambling to get a job.

If she could replicate Miss Shen's craftsmanship, she would have an extra bargaining chip.

Xiao Xia looked embarrassed. "I thought there was no one in the kitchen, but when I walked in, I saw Dr. Wang. I was really shocked."

Shen Lan thought of the surveillance footage he had just watched, his eyes sharp. "Then why did you deliberately emphasize that Wang Ling was poisoned by eating my food when you called for help? Do you dare to say that you don't have any ulterior motives?"

Xiao Xia's body stiffened.

At that time, a voice in her heart told her that as long as something happened to Shen Lan, she would have many opportunities to stand out.

She hesitated for a few seconds and then had evil thoughts.

"But Doctor Wang was poisoned after eating your food. I didn't say anything wrong."
