Female-dominated society: My wife is an incompetent wife

Chapter 62: Drugging

At that time, Lan Ruobing concealed her family background from the outside world. In Mo Xunhuan's eyes, she was a cold and beautiful mature woman who had no money and sometimes couldn't even afford to eat, so Mo Xunhuan had to treat her.

However, that one and only birthday became their most beautiful memory. Lan Ruobing even cried that day, sobbing in Mo Xunhuan's arms like a child.

"Have you not participated in her birthday celebrations over the years?" Mo Xunhuan asked.

"No, although she didn't invite me, I don't plan to participate either. After all, she has her own network of friends and connections, and we're not on the same wavelength at all," Lan Ruoxin said in a cold tone.

Mo Xunhuan: …………

"Hey, Xunhuan, you're here! And Principal Lan, didn't you say you had something to do? Why are you here too?" Just as the two were chatting, a joyful shout came from not far away, and Lin Yue walked over excitedly.

"Good evening, Lin Yue. This is a birthday present for Pingping." Mo Xunhuan turned around and handed the gift to him with a smile.

"I've temporarily canceled my business. I'll drop Xunhuan off on the way. Where's Pingping?" Lan Ruoxin handed the gift to the other person.

"Oh, Pingping is playing with those kids! You guys just came, and even brought gifts."

"It's nothing, just a token gesture. This birthday party is quite big, looks like you invited quite a few people!" Mo Xunhuan looked around.

"Of course, my son's birthday has to be celebrated beautifully. Anyway, it's not my money that's being spent, since my wife is rich!" Lin Yue shrugged and said.

"Oh, is your wife coming?"

"No way she'd come. She's busy as a headless chicken every day. Forget about her. I'll show you around. You can sit with me later." With that, Lin Yue pulled Mo Xunhuan forward.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the crowd, a pair of eyes were staring intently in Mo Xunhuan's direction. It was Li Xin, who had also come to the party.

Seeing Mo Xunhuan so popular, especially with Lan Ruoxin by his side, filled Li Xin with extreme jealousy and resentment.

"You got away yesterday, let's see how you escape today!"

Just as the birthday party was about to begin, Li Xin walked out of the banquet hall, found a waiter, and led him to the entrance of the emergency exit.

"Do you want to make money?"

"Yes, brother, what do you want me to do?"

"Put this bottle of medicine into this glass of wine, then give it to that man named Mo Xunhuan and make him drink it. Here's a thousand yuan, and there will be another thousand after it's all over." Li Xin handed the small medicine bottle and the money to the other party at the same time.

Looking at the money and medicine handed to him, the waiter couldn't help but feel worried. "What kind of medicine is this? Won't it kill someone?"

"Don't worry, it's not poison, just an aphrodisiac. It'll make him lose his mind. I just want to embarrass him. If I really poison him to death, I'll go to jail. Do you think I'm stupid?" Li Xin said casually.

After hearing this, the waiter breathed a sigh of relief and accepted the medicine and money.

After the two left, the door to the emergency exit was pushed open, and Mu Shuang walked out, holding a cigarette that was about to burn out in her hand, and she couldn't help but frown.

"Don't seek pleasure!"

She had only come here for a quick smoke, but she never expected to overhear such important information, especially since it concerned Mo Xunhuan.

The scene shifts to a banquet hall where a party has already begun, with everyone gathered in the center singing "Happy Birthday."

In the midst of this lively atmosphere, a waiter brought a glass of wine to Mo Xunhuan and said, "Sir, this is a drink ordered by a lady."

"Someone?" Mo Xunhuan was slightly taken aback. His gaze fell on Lan Ruoxin, who was not far away. He realized that she must have made the order, so he gladly accepted the wine glass.

"Thanks."

After seeing Mo Xunhuan accept the wine glass, Li Xin, who had been keeping an eye on him, also came to the vicinity, watching expectantly as he drank the wine.

Just as Mo Xunhuan picked up his wine cup, preparing to take a sip, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared. A hand suddenly grabbed Mo Xunhuan's arm, and the person was none other than Mu Shuang.

"Don't drink it!"

"Mu Shuang?" Mo Xunhuan was surprised to see Mu Shuang.

Before he could ask any questions, Mu Shuang snatched the wine glass and turned to leave.

Li Xin, who had been watching closely, naturally couldn't stand idly by. She stepped forward and blocked Mu Shuang's path, looking at her coldly, "Miss waitress, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to take away a customer's drink for no reason?"

"It was clearly you..."

Mu Shuang was about to question them when she noticed that many eyes were on her. This was someone else's birthday party, and it would be very inappropriate for a waitress to cause a scene.

"She's my friend, I know her." Seeing that Mu Shuang was being stopped, Mo Xunhuan quickly stepped forward and said.

"Even if you're friends, as a waiter, instead of serving, you come over and take someone else's drink for no reason. Do you even want to keep your job?" Li Xin questioned.

Faced with Li Xin's act of crying wolf, Mu Shuang desperately wanted to reveal the truth, but she lacked evidence. Moreover, speaking out would surely escalate the situation, ruin the birthday party, and potentially cause trouble for Mo Xunhuan.

Thinking of all this, Mu Shuang realized that she couldn't take the wine out with her, so she gritted her teeth and drank the wine down in one gulp.

"I'm thirsty, is that not allowed? It was Brother Xunhuan who invited me to drink this glass of wine."

Seeing that Mu Shuang had actually drunk the whole glass of wine, Li Xin's face turned red with anger, and she clenched her fists, ready to explode.

But he forced himself to calm down and pointed at Mu Shuang, saying, "You win!"

After saying that, Li Xin turned and left.

Watching Li Xin leave angrily, Mo Xunhuan also sensed something was amiss. He grabbed Mu Shuang's arm and asked with concern, "What happened, Mu Shuang? Why did you suddenly snatch my wine? Was there something in it?"

"No, you're overthinking it. I'm just thirsty." Mu Shuang turned around, pulled her arm away from his hand, patted his hand to comfort him, and then left the banquet hall.

Watching Mu Shuang's departing figure, Mo Xunhuan couldn't help but feel a little worried. He wanted to go up and check on her, but Lin Yue, who had come over, pulled him away so they could continue attending the birthday party.

Mu Shuang was about to leave the banquet hall when she was stopped by the lobby manager. She was called back as soon as she reached the lobby.

"Mu Shuang, the kitchen has already served the dishes. Go to the kitchen and get them."

"Manager, I'm not feeling well today..."

"Do you even want to keep your job? We're short-staffed today, so get to work now, or don't bother coming back tomorrow." The manager said this harshly and then turned and left.

Helpless, Mu Shuang could only return to the kitchen and continue working.

Time passed slowly, and the party continued until very late, finally ending around nine o'clock at night.
