Lin Fantong shot a dark glance at Liu Quan’s retreating figure, then turned to Xia Qiuyue and said,
“Leave the rest to you. I’m going to the unit to work overtime.
Hurry up and call Miaomiao out and take her to your brother’s place for the night.
The effects of that drug won’t wear off until tomorrow morning at the earliest. We’ll come back tomorrow.
Remember—just to be safe, lock the door before you leave.”
Without waiting for Xia Qiuyue’s reply, he walked out without looking back.
Xia Qiuyue: “……”
Why was everyone giving her attitude lately? This family life was unbearable.
But thinking of how, after tonight, that little b*tch would be completely ruined and forced to marry Liu Quan, her unhappiness instantly vanished.
She had personally checked—Miaomiao was still intact.
As long as Liu Quan helped clear her name afterward, her reputation could be restored, and with Miaomiao’s abilities, finding a good husband wouldn’t be a problem.
With that thought, she also went into Lin Miaomiao’s room.
“Miaomiao, why are you still no—”
Before she could finish speaking or even see what was happening inside, she suddenly collapsed to the ground unconscious.
And Lin Jiaojiao, who was supposed to be lying unconscious in bed, suddenly opened her clear eyes and sat up.
She glanced at the three people lying on the floor, her eyes filled with unconcealed excitement.
That’s right—this family had tried to drug Lin Jiaojiao, but she had turned the tables on them.
At the dinner table, everyone except Lin Fantong had been drugged.
And the dosages were different.
Lin Miaomiao and Liu Quan had the strongest doses, which was why they collapsed immediately upon entering the room.
Xia Qiuyue’s dose was lighter because Lin Jiaojiao had anticipated she would come in last.
After all, as the mastermind, she would naturally discuss things with Lin Fantong first.
And indeed, that was exactly what happened.
Lin Jiaojiao walked over and pinched all three of them hard.
Not out of anger—but for another purpose.
As expected, after dragging them onto the bed and stripping their clothes, clear marks appeared on the areas she had pinched.
They looked like freshly made “kiss marks”…
Then she positioned Liu Quan in the middle of the bed, with the mother and daughter on either side of him.
His arms were wrapped around both of them, and his hands just happened to be placed on their curves.
Looking at the scene, Lin Jiaojiao clicked her tongue.
“Tsk tsk, Liu Quan, don’t thank me too much.
I’m just eliminating harm for the people—definitely not helping you enjoy a harem.”
After finishing her masterpiece, she picked up their clothes and casually threw them one by one on the ground as she walked out.
At the doorway, she threw the last piece of Liu Quan’s clothing down, locked the door, patted her hands, and left elegantly.
“Oh? Jiaojiao, where are you going so late?”
Just as she entered the family compound, she ran into Aunt Wu from downstairs.
Aunt Wu was a good person—but extremely gossipy.
And her mouth was loose.
If she learned something, the whole compound would know within half a day.
People secretly called her “Fast-Mouth Aunt Wu.”
Seeing her, Lin Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up.
But she quickly sniffled and said,
“Auntie, my stepsister’s boyfriend came to our house for dinner.
My stepmother said I would embarrass the family, so she kicked me out.”
“What?! Xia Qiuyue really did that to you?”
Aunt Wu’s voice instantly rose.
Lin Jiaojiao nodded and pretended to wipe her tears.
“Yes… she even said if she doesn’t call me back, I should just sleep outside in the courtyard tonight.”
“Too much! That Xia Qiuyue is trying to kill you!”
Aunt Wu was furious—but there was nothing she could actually do.
After all, it was a family matter.
She sighed, then pulled Lin Jiaojiao’s hand.
“Come to Aunt Wu’s house tonight. My son and daughter-in-law aren’t home, there’s a place to sleep.”
It was like a pillow delivered just when she was sleepy—perfect timing.
Lin Jiaojiao naturally had no reason to refuse.
And with Aunt Wu as her “alibi,” her story would become even more convincing.
Still, she hesitated a little.
“Wouldn’t that be too much trouble for you, Auntie?”
Even she felt she was being a bit green-tea-like.
Aunt Wu immediately waved her off.
“No trouble at all. It’s just me at home anyway. It’s boring.”
“Then I’ll trouble you, Auntie.”
“You silly child, stop being so polite.”
That night passed peacefully…
“Aahhh!!”
“Aahhh!!”
As soon as Lin Jiaojiao opened her eyes the next morning, she was startled by two piercing screams.
“Jiaojiao, hurry! There’s a show to watch!”
Before she could even get up, Aunt Wu rushed in, eyes shining with gossip, grabbing her arm.
“A show?”
“Don’t ask! Hurry or we’ll miss it!”
Aunt Wu dragged her out, urging her to put on her shoes.
The moment Lin Jiaojiao finished, she was pulled toward the Lin household at marathon speed.
By then, a crowd had already gathered outside the Lin family home.
The door was locked, so no one could get in. Everyone was discussing what might have happened.
Soon, Lin Fantong also returned.
Seeing the crowd, he already understood something was wrong—but he tried to look confused.
“What’s going on? Why are you all standing outside my house so early in the morning?”
A woman stepped forward.
“Oh, Old Lin, you’re back! We heard screams from inside earlier and got worried.”
“Thank you for your concern. I’ll open the door right away.”
He took out his key, but his hands were shaking so badly with excitement that it took him several tries to unlock it.
Before he could enter, Aunt Wu squeezed in first and asked,
“By the way, Xiao Lin, why are you coming back from outside so early? Didn’t you sleep at home last night?”
That one sentence made Lin Fantong freeze.
And when she noticed the men’s clothes scattered at the doorway, everything clicked in Aunt Wu’s mind.
Her eyes widened.
Oh my god.
This family was shameless beyond belief.
Just to make that thug Liu Quan stay overnight with Lin Miaomiao, they had sent the father away for the night…
and even kicked out their own daughter.
Aunt Wu suddenly felt like this “melon” was too big for her to finish.
Meanwhile, Lin Jiaojiao, standing at a distance, watched Aunt Wu’s constantly changing expression and almost laughed out loud.
But she said nothing.
Lin Fantong quickly replied,
“I was working overtime at the factory last night, so I left after dinner.”
Aunt Wu only curled her lips and said nothing.
