Chapter 1045 - Poisoned

Chapter 1045 Poisoned

No worries,
Gu Ning said with a smile.
Mr. Qiao, could you please tell me what your health is normally like? Do you have a disease?


No, my body is in a good condition normally. I also get regular tests done, but there are no diseases,
Old Man Qiao said.

Well, I noticed your unusual reaction when you fainted and fell, and your breathing was quickly getting weak when you were unconscious. I think you were probably poisoned,
Gu Ning said.
Hearing that, Old Man Sha felt a little scared. He didn’t expect that this girl could be so smart. However, even though Gu Ning told the truth, he didn’t think that Old Man Qiao could find any evidence. He wasn’t worried that his dirty trick might be exposed.

Um, maybe it’s food poisoning. Qiao, I think you better go to the hospital to have a medical check now,
Old Man Di said.
If it was food poisoning, it wouldn’t be a big deal, because it was a common illness. Although they were very cautious, it could still happen. However, was it really just food poisoning?
Old Man Qiao held a different idea, and felt displeased, but he still composed himself.
Old Man Qiao wasn’t dumb, and he knew that it couldn’t be that simple from Gu Ning’s explanation. He knew that there was someone who always wanted him to die in order to grab his family’s property away, but he was surprised that the person would directly poison him.

Even though he couldn’t say anything about it now, he made up his mind to find out who the mastermind was.
Gu Ning excused herself afterwards.
Seeing Gu Ning walking away, Old Man Sha was determined to punish her.
…

Gu Ning was free that morning, so she decided to eat at home and go to the headquarters of her corporation in the afternoon.
After having breakfast, Gu Ning read books in the bedroom.
At 9 am, Gu Ning heard someone opening the door of the house. She was surprised, and thought that Leng Shaoting was back.
However, the second she left the bedroom, she heard a woman talking.

Wow, this house is so big and beautiful! I wish this was my home!
a woman said with excitement in the living room on the first floor.
Gu Ning walked to the landing, and looked down.
There were three people in the living room. One was a young man in a formal suit, one was a middle-aged woman, and one was a young woman in her early twenties.
Both of the women were in cleaner’s uniforms, so Gu Ning knew that they came here to clean the house.
Today was the cleaning day of Leng Shaoting’s house.

Mr. Ban, who owns this house?
the young woman asked the young man with curiosity.

Don’t ask questions. Just do your job,
Mr. Ban snapped at her.
The young woman was scared, and didn’t dare to ask again.
Such a rude man,
she muttered to herself.
At this moment, Gu Ning walked downstairs and attracted their attention.
The middle-aged woman stayed normal, but the young woman looked disappointed. If the owner of this house was a man, she could seduce him and move into this beautiful home.
This young woman came here for nothing good. In fact, she wasn’t the cleaner who was normally responsible for this house, but the regular cleaner had a stomachache today, so she replaced her.

Miss Gu, nice to meet you. I work for Lord Leng; my name is Ban Xiuhan.
Ban Xiuhan was amazed by Gu Ning’s beauty, then soon greeted her with respect.
Ban Xiuhan was in charge of the cleaning of this house, so Leng Shaoting told Ban Xiuhan that Gu Ning would be staying here.

Miss Gu, I’m so sorry to interrupt you. We can leave, and come again if you want,
Ban Xiuhan said.

It’s fine. I’m not sleeping,
Gu Ning said.
Gu Ning wasn’t surprised that Ban Xiuhan knew her, because she understood that Leng Shaoting must have told him that she was here.

Thanks,
Ban Xiuhan said, then told the two cleaners to be as quiet as possible.
Gu Ning went back to the bedroom. Except for the master bedroom and study, they had to clean all the other rooms. They would do the cleaning once a week, so the house was always clean and tidy.
Two hours later, they finished their work and left.
…
Gu Ning had her lunch at 12:30 pm, then went to the headquarters of her corporation.
There were two ways to go to the headquarters from Leng Shaoting’s house, and one of them would pass by the Tang Organization. Gu Ning chose this route.
She stopped her car outside the Tang Organization, then used her Jade Eyes to see the inside of it. It was still the same, and easily aroused her hatred.
She had contributed significantly to this building in her previous incarnation.
After watching for a while, she noticed a familiar figure. It was Tang Yaxin’s mother, Ji Yijing.
Once Gu Ning saw Ji Yijing, her animosity grew stronger. She promised herself that she would pay them back sooner or later.
