466 Unable to Hide Her Malice
“There’s no need, Third Aunt. You should wait here. What if Wu wakes up and comes to look for you?”
Xu Linyuan quickly said, “Alright, I’m going to prepare another bowl. It won’t take long.”
With that, he ran downstairs.
Looking at his back as he ran away, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across Xu Jiao’s eyes.
She was wondering if it was a coincidence or if they had discovered something.
She thought that since she had done it so meticulously, it shouldn’t be so easy for others to find out. Perhaps Xu Wu was really not destined to die.
She clenched her fists tightly and did not even notice that her fingertips had dug into her palms. The viciousness in her heart grew crazily like a vine, devouring all the rationality she had left.
No, no matter what, Xu Wu could not be allowed to live. Xu Jiao would never let anyone take her place. Even if Xu Wu was the biological daughter of the Xu family, so what? Since they adopted Xu Jiao, they had to be responsible to the end.
As for Qin Xi, if she dared to ruin her plans, she would go to hell with her.
Xu Jiao’s eyes slowly turned red, unable to hide the killing intent in her heart.
At this moment, the second daughter-in-law inadvertently looked over. Seeing Xu Jiao like this, she was shocked and patted her chest. “You freaked me out. Why are you baring your teeth? Those who don’t know better might think that you’re going to eat people up!”
Everyone subconsciously looked at Xu Jiao. Fortunately, Xu Jiao’s acting skills were superb. She immediately put on a perfectly harmless look and bit her lower lip, saying aggrievedly, “Second Aunt, I, I didn’t bare my teeth. You must be mistaken!”
“Hey, how dare you talk back to me? Is this your upbringing? Also, I wasn’t mistaken. Just looking at you made me shudder. You’re too good at acting. I think I’ll get your father to send you to the theater tomorrow. That’s where you’ll shine.”
The second daughter-in-law was a little angry at Xu Jiao’s attitude. She was not blind. Moreover, she could not stand Xu Jiao’s innocent look, as if everyone was bullying her.
She was so pretentious that it made people disgusted.
“Second Sister-in-law, Jiaojiao didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t take it to heart.”
Liu Su was thinking about Xu Wu’s illness and did not have the time to listen to them bicker. She patted Xu Jiao and reprimanded gently, “Jiao, no matter what, you can’t talk back to your elders. Apologize to your second aunt.”
Xu Jiao bit her lower lip aggrievedly and apologized.
She also cursed Liu Su in her heart.
“Alright, I’ll forgive you. We’re all family. Also, Jiao, it’s all thanks to you. If you didn’t bring it up, we wouldn’t have asked Doctor Qin to treat Wu, and such a good chance would have been wasted.”
Xu Jiao was so embarrassed that she wished she could crawl into a hole and hide. She lowered her head and whispered, “Second Aunt, you must be joking. I don’t dare to take the credit. Sister Wu is a good person and is blessed.”
At this moment, her heart was already in turmoil. If she hadn’t said so much, she wouldn’t be in so much trouble.
However, she still couldn’t let go of this opportunity. Besides, they were people who posed a threat to her status. At the thought of this, she said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I need to go to the washroom.”
With that, she left in a hurry. She did not go straight to the kitchen. Instead, she went to Xu Linyuan’s room and took out a set of clean clothes from the wardrobe. Looking at the clothes that Xu Linyuan had worn, the tips of her ears turned red. She looked around and saw that there was no one around. She brought the clothes close to the tip of her nose and sniffed it in a daze.
