Prove It To Me

She pondered for a moment.

She had indeed noticed some changes in her body recently.

Her cigarette addiction was growing, reaching a point where she felt anxious if she didn't smoke for an hour.

She was an extremely disciplined woman and had never developed a dependency on anything.

But this situation had caught her completely off guard.

"Your cigarettes were all bought by Gao Le for you. It would be very easy to tamper with them," Su Rui said again. "He makes you breakfast every day. Haven't you ever wondered if there might be something else in those fried eggs and toast?"

Ma Xiumei remained silent.

If what Su Rui said was true, then this was more than just him having a mistress behind her back.

Gao Le was trying to kill her!

"You can test him. In his WeChat, there's a contact saved as..." Su Rui whispered another sentence into Ma Xiumei's ear.

Su Rui finished speaking.

Ma Xiumei nodded and calmly walked back, gesturing to Gao Le with an expressionless face.

Gao Le nervously raised his head.

Having been together for nearly a year, he knew Ma Xiumei's temper well. When her face was expressionless and completely devoid of emotion, that was when she was nearing her limit, reaching the critical point of anger.

"Honey, you..." Gao Le swallowed.

"He told me some things, and I don't quite believe them," Ma Xiumei said flatly.

Gao Le was stunned, followed by a surge of ecstasy. "Honey, I knew you'd believe me! Don't listen to other people's nonsense..."

"Prove it to me!" Ma Xiumei directly interrupted Gao Le's rambling, saying word by word, "Prove to me that you haven't lied to me."

"H-how do I prove it?" Gao Le was clearly a bit unnatural.

"Open your WeChat, find the person saved as 'Clearwater Merchant,' start a voice call, and say, 'The stock is gone, contact someone immediately to get a new batch!'" Ma Xiumei instructed.

Gulp...

Gao Le's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and cold sweat was clearly dripping down his face.

"Listen to me, this merchant just sells fabric..."

"Do as I say!" Gao Le's unnatural reaction made Ma Xiumei's heart sink, and veins on her forehead began to throb faintly.

Deep down, she didn't want to believe Su Rui's words, because she simply couldn't accept that the true love she had always believed in was actually a vicious wolf lurking at her bedside!

Gao Le's hands and feet turned cold.

If Ma Xiumei discovered he was keeping a mistress, at most he would be severely beaten and kicked out. But if his plan to use chronic medication to slowly kill Ma Xiumei was exposed, things would be much bigger!

Enough to make him disappear from the face of the earth!

"I... I forgot my phone's lock screen password..." Gao Le was already panicking. His current thought was to stall for as long as possible.

"2871," Su Rui said with a smile.

"Don't make me do it myself," Ma Xiumei stared at Gao Le, saying word by word.

Gao Le's breathing was rapid, his hands shaking as if he had Parkinson's, and his face was deathly pale like a corpse.

He couldn't stall any longer. He glanced at the expressionless Ma Xiumei and shakily clicked on the voice call.

It connected quickly.

"The... the stock is gone, immediately... contact someone to get a new batch!"

Gao Le spoke like someone having a stroke, breaking the sentence into three or four parts.

He prayed frantically in his heart, hoping the person on the other end would notice something was wrong and react accordingly.

Silence.

"Haha... Husband, you're so capable! All the stock is used up so quickly. Sigh... Did the old fat woman not discover anything?"

An excited female laugh came from the other end of the call.

The voice was very clear.

"You need to get married as soon as possible... You can increase the dosage after you're married. Send the fat woman to her grave sooner, and we won't have to be so secretive..."

"Hello! Hello! Husband, are you listening?"

Clatter!

The phone slipped and fell to the ground.

Gao Le stiffly raised his head like a dead body.

With a thud, he knelt down.

Slap!

A crisp and loud, even scalp-numbing, slap rang out.

Gao Le was sent flying nearly two meters, his head hitting the counter in the lobby.

Blood trickled from his forehead.

His cheek was swollen.

His eyes went from panicked to desperate.

"Darling, listen to me, it's not like that..." Gao Le ignored the pain, scrambling to his knees in front of Ma Xiumei, snot and tears streaming down his face. He grabbed her leg and wouldn't let go, "I never meant to hurt you, this was all that woman's idea!"

Ma Xiumei's heart turned completely cold.

What did it feel like to be utterly disheartened?

Betrayed by the person she trusted the most!

"Two people from the Security Department, come down," Ma Xiumei's voice was weary as she took out her walkie-talkie and instructed.

Neat footsteps sounded.

Two tall, sturdy young men, both over six feet three inches, came down from upstairs.

"Take Manager Gao, go to Clearwater Garden and find that woman named Han Mei. I want to see her in an hour," Ma Xiumei said expressionlessly, turning to her bodyguards and ordering, "Keep a close eye on Manager Gao, don't let him run off."

"Yes, Boss!"

The two bodyguards nodded, stepped forward, and directly hauled up the already terrified Gao Le, dragging him towards the door.

Gao Le was completely limp, shaking like a sieve.

He couldn't even utter a word of pleading.

Ma Xiumei turned back to look at Su Rui again, not speaking, just taking a deep breath. A apologetic smile appeared on her face, "Mr. Su, Miss Li, I'm truly sorry! A family scandal... you've had to witness a spectacle."

Ma Xiumei controlled her emotions extremely well.

Even though she was so angry she wanted to kill, when facing Li Ruobing and Su Rui, she could still smile and talk as if nothing was wrong.

This woman's psychological fortitude was truly explosive.

Li Ruobing felt somewhat speechless.

She had only come to choose a dress for the evening banquet, but she had passively watched a drama more exciting than any TV show.

It seemed that wherever Su Rui was, things were never peaceful.
