Chapter 285 Medicine

Shen Feiwan tapped her fingertips lightly on the sandalwood table. "Yes, if it weren't for your brother, I might be living a carefree life somewhere right now."

After saying that, she picked up her bag and prepared to get up.

"Wait—" Zou Xinyi suddenly called out to her, her fingers unconsciously tightening their grip on the bag strap. "Wait a minute, I have something else to give you."

"what?"

Zou Xinyi quickly rummaged through her bag and pulled out a small plastic medicine bottle. She stood up and handed it to Shen Feiwan, saying, "Take this first; it will definitely come in handy later."

Shen Feiwan lowered her eyes, her gaze lingering on the white medicine bottle for a moment. "Was this specially prepared for Lin Xiaoyan?"

Zou Xinyi nodded, her eyelashes casting a shadow under her eyes.

Shen Feiwan glanced at Zou Xinyi again. Although she had an ordinary appearance, her eyes were very clear and innocent.

She didn't take the medicine bottle, but instead raised her hand and scratched her forehead. "I misjudged you. I thought you were a very simple and naive person."

"Look at me however you want," Zou Xinyi said softly. "I'm only like this to him, I wouldn't do this to anyone else, and I won't use this medicine indiscriminately."

As she spoke, she handed the medicine bottle forward again, saying, "Here, take it."

Shen Feiwan then reached out and took the items, putting them into her bag.

After finishing her conversation with Zou Xinyi, Shen Feiwan did not return to the Shen family home, but went directly to Chen Youen's place.

She told Chen Youen everything that had happened that day.

Finally, she took the medicine bottle out of her bag and handed it to Chen Youen. "It's not convenient for me to show my face and investigate these things right now. It wouldn't be good if Lin Xiaoyan found out. Could you help me find out what's in here?"

Chen Youen toyed with the medicine bottle in her hand, a playful smile playing on her lips. "This young lady from the Zou family is quite something, she's made all the preparations."

As she was about to unscrew the bottle cap and bring it closer to smell it, Shen Feiwan snatched it away.

"Don't do anything reckless," Shen Feiwan said, clutching the medicine bottle in her palm. "We don't even know what's inside."

"Are you afraid it's poisonous?" Chen Youen raised an eyebrow.

Shen Feiwan's eyes turned slightly cold. "One should always be wary of others. Lin Xiaoyan harmed Zou Xinyi, and she's afraid of having to resign, which can be said to have affected her entire family. What if she wants to use me to kill Lin Xiaoyan? Then wouldn't I become a knife in her hand?"

Chen Youen nodded, "You're right, I'll check tomorrow. By the way, when exactly is Lin Xiaoyan going to let Aunt Gu come back? There are only four days left until the Little New Year, and after that, New Year's Eve won't be far away. He's in such a hurry to get married before the New Year, when exactly does he plan to set the wedding date? It's so annoying. He should just get it over with quickly, what's the point of keeping us hanging like this?"

Shen Feiwan leaned back on the sofa. "His marriage is no small matter for the Lin family. He hasn't taken me to meet the Lin family elders yet. He should inform them first."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Shen Feiwan received a call on her phone.

Shen Feiwan glanced at the caller ID and exchanged a look with Chen Youen. "Speak of the devil and he appears."

It was Lin Xiaoyan who called. He said he would take her to his grandfather's house for dinner tomorrow night, and Shen Feiwan agreed.

Shen Feiwan stayed at Chen Youen's house for one night. The next morning, Shen Feiwan and Chen Youen went out together. Chen Youen went to check the bottle of medicine, while Shen Feiwan returned to the Shen family home.

That afternoon, Shen Feiwan received the news that Chen Youen said the bottle of medicine was not poisonous and would not be fatal. It was a type of date rape drug that circulated overseas, and that excessive use could even lead to addiction.
