Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Turning the Tables 3_1

Seeing his insistence, Mrs. Xia took a deep breath and finally gave up all hope!

As she unscrewed the cap and was about to bring the bottle to her mouth, the fabric of her dress was tugged by the little girl: "Mommy, I want to drink Coke."

Xia Ningxing said this while blinking at her mother.

Mrs. Xia understood the meaning behind her daughter’s actions. She stopped the motion of drinking water and turned to Xia Jianren, "Could you please buy Bao’er a bottle of Coke?"

"Buy what?!" Just as the plan was about to succeed, it was disrupted by the brat, making Jianren’s teeth itch with irritation as he scolded Xia Ningxing: "What’s so good about Coke! You’re not allowed to drink it!"

"Wu wu... I don’t care, I want to drink it!" Xia Ningxing was on the verge of tears, plunging into Mrs. Xia’s arms, and reached out for the water with additives in her mother’s hand: "Mommy, why don’t you skip the plain water? Let’s go buy Coke together."

"Okay!" Mrs Xia agreed.

Jianren was in a hurry: "Coke has no nutrients, Lanzi, don’t drink that stuff. Just drink the clean, nutritious, and sanitary plain water!"

"As for the Coke, I’ll go buy it for this brat!" Jianren could not let a stinky little girl ruin his big plans, so despite his reluctance, he went to buy Coke.

"Hmm." Mrs. Xia responded coldly.

However, lost in excitement, Xia Jianren completely failed to detect any oddity in his wife.

When he returned after buying the Coke and saw that the water in Mrs. Xia’s cup was already half gone, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but turn up.

Very good!

It was a success!

Jianren felt extremely pleased with himself.

Mrs. Xia, looking at the smile on his lips, felt like she had suddenly fallen into an unfathomably icy cave, her whole body enveloped in a thick chill that formed ice.

How could he possibly smile like that!

Was he really happy that his wife was being insulted?

The person she married was no human, but a beast!

No, no, no, calling it a beast was still to praise him!

Xia Ningxing noticed her trembling and stretched out her warm little hand to hold her ice-cold fingers.

It was only then that Mrs. Xia felt a trace of warmth and hope.

It doesn’t matter, she still had her daughter, the warmest, most sensible, most precious, and loveliest daughter!

Some time later, while out shopping, Mrs. Xia suddenly clutched her forehead, looking very distressed: "Jianren, I... I feel dizzy... "

Xia Jianren rejoiced inwardly, knowing this was the drug taking effect.

So he quickly stepped forward to support her: "I rented a room nearby for a rest during this visit. It’s conveniently close. How about you rest there for a bit?"

"Okay..." Mrs. Xia agreed like an innocent little rabbit.

If Jianren had a tail, it would probably be wagging up to the sky by now.

After getting Mrs. Xia to the hotel room he had booked in advance, Xia Jianren then remembered Xia Ningxing, the little tail.

He had to think of a way to get rid of her!

After stroking his chin, Jianren looked at her: "Girl, your dad has never bought you any decent clothes. Do you want to go shopping with dad now?"

"And as for your mother, let her rest here by herself."

"Okay!" Xia Ningxing’s smile was sweet, her dimples deep, her bright and shining eyes curving into beautiful crescents, as if she was genuinely happy about getting new clothes.

Although Jianren didn’t know why his daughter, who usually disliked him, was suddenly so obedient, he didn’t think too much of it, considering his goal was within reach, and he directly took her out with him.

What he didn’t know was that after he left, Mrs. Xia, who had feigned dizziness, suddenly opened her clear and cold eyes, not showing the slightest sign of discomfort.

At the same time, a man emerged from the restroom.

Dressed in a suit, he had the look of a successful man.

"Lady Xia, hello. I am Qin Zicheng, the lawyer your daughter has hired for you." Qin Zicheng extended his hand with a smile, revealing a row of white teeth as he introduced himself.

To prevent any mishaps, Xia Ningxing notified Qin Zicheng to come and help.

Meanwhile, he could gather evidence of Xia Jianren’s insults to his wife, which would serve as powerful courtroom testimony.

Don’t ask how Xia Ningxing knew every detail of the plan so clearly, even which room to use, and had arranged for Qin Zicheng to prepare in advance. It was because—

The novel spelled it out clearly. When Xia Jianren was caught, he confessed all the details of the incident.

And with Xia Ningxing’s eidetic memory, she remembered it all.
