Confronting the Poison Lotus Chapter 11

 Li Xia sat not far from Suo Qiao and Fu Yilan, without getting up, still holding her arms, tilting her head slightly. Her eyes, beneath her tousled hair, were dark and bright, calmly glancing at Fu Yilan without any disturbance in her expression. Fu Yilan couldn't discern her emotions and found it a bit difficult to figure out her intentions. The sound of the "snap" just now brought the atmosphere in the classroom back to freezing point. The classmates were all curious now. Li Xia looked at Fu Yilan for a while, until she felt a bit uneasy, then she spoke lightly, "So, Fu Yilan..." After this sentence, she paused for a few seconds before asking slowly and heavily, "Are you saying that if you encounter someone critically injured and dying on the road, who would die anyway if left there, it's okay to stab them to death, is that right?" The classmates were all stunned, feeling like they had been awakened. Fu Yilan was also stunned for a moment, but q...

Confronting the Poison Lotus Chapter 10

Su Qiao stood up in astonishment, staring at her soaked clothes, stunned for a long time. She couldn't believe it. When she turned around, she saw Fu Yilan's resolute face as if she wasn't the one who poured water over her head. Su Qiao had always been spoiled by her family since childhood, and because she had a few tough older brothers, her classmates also feared her to some extent. Where had she ever been treated like this before? Seeing the water bottle still dripping in Fu Yilan's hand, Su Qiao almost instinctively stood up, swung her hand, and slapped her face without hesitation. Lixia, standing aside, watched with indifference. As she had imagined, Fu Yilan didn't dodge. Not only did she not dodge, but she also exaggerated her reaction. The crisp sound of the slap echoed in the entire lecture hall. The force of the slap was so strong that Fu Yilan couldn't stand steady, and she was pushed towards the desk, struggling to get up, but stumbled and fell betwee...

Confronting the Poison Lotus Chapter 09

 Lixia sat in her seat, unconsciously twirling the pen between her fingers. Jiannan Lawyer, is there any way to make good use of him before taking him down? In fact, she had a detailed revenge plan in her mind. Fu Xinren, Lan Yu, Lan Xin. Lan Xin has remained unmarried for many years, there must be something fishy. Lixia originally intended to fabricate something even if there wasn't any. But during this period of observation, she found that Lan Xin was practically Fu Xinren's right-hand woman in the business world. Women who are dedicated to their work often emit a rare attractiveness to the men around them, especially considering Lan Xin's outgoing personality and love for dressing up, while Fu Xinren remains his usual flirtatious self, ogling any slightly attractive woman he sees. Lixia guessed that Fu Xinren didn't grow tired of the weak and pitiful Lan Yu perhaps out of guilt. To deal with the three of them, turning Lan Yu dark would suffice. Before the end of this...

Confronting the Poison Lotus Chapter 08

 Yes, that shameless Fu Xinren actually moved into the large mansion in the suburbs of the Li family under the guise of raising Qiao Qiao as the only relative after the tragedy involving his ex-wife's family. After all, this house with a garden and a large lawn is more magnificent than the small apartment in the city center owned by the Fu family. Although the Fu family has had money in recent years, their liquid assets are limited, and with the recent economic crisis, most medium-sized enterprises are operating under debt. Despite the superficial appearances, the Fu family doesn't have much spare cash and couldn't possibly afford a decent and charming property. However, this house had already been transferred to Li Qiu and Li Xia's names. Although Fu Xinren moved in, he didn't have ownership, so everything was still under Li Xia's control. But Li Xia didn't want to kick them out now; she needed to interact with the Li family's board of directors and dis...

Confronting the Poison Lotus Chapter 07

Lan Yu felt even more wronged and resentful after being blocked by her, but she bit her lip, holding back her tears. Lixia sighed helplessly. A woman in her forties or fifties still acting like a teenager, it's really giving people goosebumps, isn't it? Fu Xinren was furious, pointing his finger at Lixia. "How dare you talk to your aunt like that? You made a mistake and yet you're so arrogant and domineering, just like your mother! You're hopeless!" Lixia's pupils contracted, her fists clenched tightly, her nails digging into her palms, but the most painful thing was her heart. There truly are men so shameless and lacking in morals. Phoenix men, they were the epitome of Fu Xinren's ugly face right now. On one hand, he complained that his wife wasn't gentle or caring enough, and on the other hand, he shamelessly used marriage and women to climb higher. Si Lan, Yi Lan, every time Lixia heard these two names, she felt disgusted to the core. The father...

Confronting the Poison Lotus Chapter 06

 Ni Luo directly handed her the phone. Lixia understood, but she looked at the screen with a cute baby avatar, feeling somewhat surprised. She entered the phone number, dialed, and after her own phone rang, she hung up. Jumping to the dialed calls page, the first one was "Stupid Woman". Lixia had heard about the grand wedding between the Yue family and the Ni family before the accident. She could guess what was going on. Thinking of the word "sister," she felt a strange sense of affinity towards Ni Luo. She handed the phone back to him, but when she looked up, she saw Su Qiao's curious gaze. Ni Luo and Su Qiao left first, leaving Lixia staring at them in silence for a long time. Ni Luo, the grandson of the former vice chairman Ni Jin, was the only heir to the Huashi Group's power reserve. Before the age of 19, he was a prodigal son, but in the past two years, he suddenly changed and managed the Huashi Group, which was close to the national level, in an order...

Confronting the Poison Lotus Chapter 05

 "Fu Yilan, knowing that I'm Little Tai Mei, you still want to play this rotten trick of drugging me?" Li Xia sneered, "I didn't overestimate you, but you underestimated me." The small garden was far from the party venue, with no one passing by, and the sounds of laughter inside the house drowned out any noise, ensuring no one would notice the darkness here. Fu Yilan was held down by Li Xia, her hand throbbing with pain, fearing it would break if she moved. She wanted to call for help, but her throat was also squeezed, making it hard to breathe, let alone make a sound. But what she feared most was something truly happening to Fu Silan. Unlike her, Fu Silan was silent and low-key, not one to joke around. She was usually calm and graceful. If she were to be humiliated in front of all her classmates because of being drugged by her, it would be disastrous. Fu Yilan dared not imagine the consequences, struggling desperately, but Li Xia still held onto her vitals....

Confronting the Poison Lotus Chapter 04

 Li Xia glanced at the boy who should be around her age. He was handsome, the kind of vibrant and good-looking, but his eyes were faint, a bit indifferent. Without much ado, he walked to the machine and grabbed the bass, then threw the guitar directly to Li Xia. Li Xia reacted quickly, catching it from the air. He looked at the glowing arrow on the screen. "How do we divide the tasks?" Li Xia tried pressing the electronic buttons on the fake guitar neck, using her index and middle fingers to control the up and down arrow cursors, and her ring and pinky fingers to control left and right. "I'll handle up and down." He had no objections. People at the party gathered around. After all, Guitar Hero was such an exciting game, only seen in foreign movies. The beginning was a few short and lingering guitar string plucks, melodious like a gentle breeze brushing through the heart, stirring a slight tremble in Li Xia and everyone else's heart. Li Xia completely let go,...

Confronting the Poison Lotus Chapter 03

 Fu Yilan has always been quick-witted. Although Li Xia's sudden move took her by surprise, she smiled and responded within five seconds, "Yes, my mother has always been in poor health, and it's my aunt who has been taking care of the family. She has devoted all her efforts to taking care of my mother and us sisters. She even sacrificed her own chance of marriage for this precious family bond." Her words were sincere and touching, immediately elevating Fu Yilan's image to a pedestal worthy of admiration. Among the audience, some naturally believed her, while others remained skeptical. Fu Yilan gritted her teth, smiling wistfully as she continued, "Speaking of which, this bond is just like the one between you and your sister, Li Qiu. Your sisterly bond runs deep. She left behind an illegitimate child, Qiaoqiao, and you are Qiaoqiao's aunt. Surely, you would love him just like a mother, right?" Li Xia pursed her lips, her fingers tightening. She couldn...
