Country Love: My stepmother, Yang Xiaoyan, told me to tone it down.

Xu Hui complained.

Although he didn't win over Ding Ning, his relationship with Li Qiuge was now more than just a formality.

Their relationship has made great progress.

Ding Wanqi's use of drugs greatly shortened the distance between Xu Hui and Qiu Ge.

"What's wrong, Ningning? Are you unhappy?"

Ding Wanqi asked with a smile.

Since the deed is done, there's no need to worry about Xu Hui defaulting on his debt.

"Uncle Ningning, you miscalculated. Ding Ning didn't drink that beverage; Li Qiuge accidentally drank it, causing her to be sent to the hospital. Luckily, the police weren't called, or you would have gone to jail!!"

Xu Hui deliberately tried to scare him.

"Why is this happening?"

Ding Wanqi was dumbfounded.

I'm so regretful. If only I had watched Ding Ning finish drinking it before leaving.

Ding Wanqi had other business to attend to in Tieling, so he hurriedly left after putting the drinks on the table.

Who would have thought that Li Qiuge would drink it?

I remember Ding Ning saying that Li Qiuge had gone to the city and wasn't at the gold shop, so Ding Wanqi didn't take it to heart.

Who knew, she happened to come back and drank Ding Ning's drink.

What bad luck!

"Xu Hui, you're not lying to me, give the phone to Ningning!"

Ding Wanqi thought Xu Hui was lying.

"Here's your uncle's phone number!"

"What does he want from me?"

Ding Ning was taken aback, but still took the phone. "Hey, Uncle, what's up?"

"Did you drink the slimming tea I gave you?"

"I only took a small sip; the rest was drunk by our jewelry store owner, Sister Qiuge. So what?"

"That's for you. Aren't you just getting in the way?"

Ding Wanqi stomped his foot in anger.

The intention was to use this opportunity to make Xu Hui and Ding Ning's relationship a done deal, but unexpectedly, something went wrong along the way.

"Okay, okay, it's nothing. Phone calls are expensive, I'll hang up!"

Ding Wanqi said angrily.

"Oh."

Ding Ning nodded, bewildered.

After hanging up the phone, Ding Ning asked Xu Hui, "Why is my uncle acting so strangely?"

"do not know."

"Xu Hui, don't do any illegal deals with my uncle. If anything happens, it has nothing to do with me!!"

Ding Ning distanced herself from the matter and spoke frankly.

"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. Even if you don't want to be my girlfriend, I won't force you."

Xu Hui explained.

Upon hearing that Xu Hui was about to bring up his girlfriend again, Ding Ning quickly made an excuse to leave.

Xu Hui checked the time on his phone and thought it was about time.

I went back up to the second-floor office.

really.

The office had been cleaned, and Li Qiuge was sitting alone in the boss's chair, lost in thought, recalling everything that had just happened.

When Xu Hui came in, he noticed a strange smell and helped open the window to ventilate the room.

"Xu Hui, what's wrong with me?"

Li Qiuge was puzzled.

Even though she's a girl from a big city, she wouldn't be so open-minded as to let Xu Hui do *that* for her.

"There must be something wrong with what we drank!"

Li Qiuge remembered that before Xu Hui arrived, she had drunk the slimming tea that Ding Ning had given her.

Why did Ding Ning want to harm me?

Li Qiuge racked her brains but still couldn't figure it out.

"Qiu Ge, it's not Ding Ning's fault, it's someone else's!"

Xu Hui helped by speaking up.

She definitely couldn't reveal the truth. If she did, and said that Ding Wanqi wanted to matchmake Xu Hui and Ding Ning, Li Qiuge would keep her distance from Xu Hui and deliberately distance herself.

"Qiuge, the problem lies with the beverage, not with Ding Ning. I've examined it closely, and this slimming tea drink has been tampered with, without Ding Ning's knowledge!"

"Who did this? Should we call the police?"

Li Qiuge didn't want to suffer in silence.

"The person who drugged us is in the shadows, while we are in the open. Even if we call the police, it won't do much good and will only anger our adversaries, leading to retaliation!"

Xu Hui deliberately steered the conversation, saying...

"Are we just going to sit here and take this beating? I won't swallow this insult!"

Li Qiuge snorted coldly.

"Qiuge, I think we should just let this go. The main problem is that something bad happened, it's too embarrassing!"

Xu Hui thought of helping Li Qiuge drain the water.

"Qiuge, you won't blame me, will you? The situation was critical at the time, and I was worried that if you had a seizure, you would run around in the street without proper clothing, which would be even more embarrassing."

"It's not your fault."

Li Qiuge blushed.

Fortunately, Xu Hui did this, which preserved her innocence.

We should be thanking them.

Chapter 336 Xiaoyan's Wrath

"Alright, Xu Hui, you're my brother, I'll do whatever you say!"

After some persuasion, Li Qiuge finally agreed not to call the police.

He didn't hold a grudge against Xu Hui.

"Hey Xu Hui, don't tell my mom about what happened in the office, okay?"

Li Qiuge consulted and asked.

"can."

Xu Hui immediately agreed.

If Yang Xiaoyan knew about this, she might have killed Xu Hui.

She only had one girl, Li Qiuge, and treated her like her precious darling.

Yang Xiaoyan would rather be violated herself than let Qiu Ge get hurt!

"This is our little secret, you swear you won't tell anyone."

Li Qiuge was worried.

"Okay, I swear."

"Recite your lines."

Li Qiuge was not satisfied and urged him on.

"I swear, if I, Xu Hui, reveal that I helped Li Qiuge detoxify in the office today, I will…"

Xu Hui recited the standard oath.

Li Qiuge was finally satisfied.

"Qiuge, I must say, you have a really great figure!!"

Xu Hui joked.

"Hmph, I've shown you everything, and I've made you silent too. Xu Hui, you're my brother, so don't get any bad ideas, understand?"

Li Qiuge rolled her eyes.
