Chapter 1661: Born Evil

“Can’t we send him away? He’s born bad. Back when we were kids, Loo Jinyang fell into the water and almost lost his life—barely saved. That day was his birthday, he was gone for just a few minutes before the incident happened, remember? None of us managed to rush up front, we just followed the crowd running without knowing what was happening. Later, Uncle Loo had all the drinks collected, and nobody came out to calm the situation, so everyone thought the Loo Family was driving guests away, and many people left. Later it got around somehow that a guest had poisoned the drinks.”

Nan Jiaojiao leaned over, resting her chin on Bo Yanching’s shoulder. He glanced back at her, tilting his body slightly backward to make it easier for her to rest her hand on him.

He said, “That did happen, but it all came to nothing in the end.”

Lu Zhenzhen asked, “Was there really poisoning?”

“Yes, there was poisoning, but it wasn’t the guests. That rumor was spread by Aunt Loo and Old Madam Loo to clear the Loo Family’s name. In fact, the one who poisoned was Loo Yao. Let me think how old he was then…”

Bo Yanching: “Three or four years old?”

“Right! Just about that age. Once he saw the gardener using weed killer, and while no one was watching, he hid a bottle of it. The quantity was all recorded, and the gardener searched everywhere but couldn’t find it, so he reported it. With so many people in the Loo Family, if anything went wrong, who could bear the consequences? But when they checked the surveillance, no one suspected Loo Yao. He’s unbelievably bad, hiding the stuff and only taking it out a month later, putting it in the drinks at his brother’s birthday party without a thought for the consequences.”

Nan Jiaojiao asked in surprise, “Did Brother Loo drink it?”

“Yes, he did. Loo Yao handed it to him, and he drank it without a second thought—a whole glass of drink. Immediately he didn’t feel right. Loo Yao dragged him to the pond and pushed Loo Jinyang in. The brat feared his brother wouldn’t die completely, so he submerged Loo Jinyang’s head underwater several times. Later, Uncle Loo passed by and saw what was happening. They pulled him out with no breath left, he was in shock, and it took a great effort to resuscitate him.”

Lu Zhenzhen frowned, “Only three years old, someone must have incited him?”

“That I don’t know. I suspect no one dared. Later, Loo Jinyang was sent to the hospital to have his stomach pumped. Luckily, that bottle of weed killer had been opened before, the lid wasn’t tightly closed, and after being left for so long, it was expired, saving him. After that, the rumor of guest poisoning spread, but no one cared anymore. Two years later, the Loo Family sent Loo Jinyang abroad, hiring just two caregivers to look after him. The family firmly kept this under wraps, yet Loo Yao, with his big mouth, blurted it out while drunk, telling everything to his gang of drinking and scheming friends.”

Bo Yanching looked discontented, “They did keep it well hidden, haven’t heard Loo Jinyang mention it all these years.”

“How could he mention it!” Huo Linxi clicked his tongue. “That’s his own brother; don’t we know what kind of person old Loo is? How could he ever open his mouth.”

“After Loo Yao went abroad, he became even more unruly, his true nature revealed—abusing the nannies, leaving them full of bruises. The Loo Family raised salaries several times but couldn’t keep them. More were hired later, but none stayed long. Strangely, the boy had quite a knack for languages, behaving upstandingly while making many friends. Even language barriers were overcome, likely due to shared malicious traits, he and his friends—hard to say who corrupted whom—dared to mess with anything. The Loo Family hired a foreign tutor for him, but once he got high at home and tried to assault the tutor and almost succeeded. The police arrived in time to save the day, and he spent a few days in jail. The tutor changed their statement afterward, so he got released—probably the family paid them off.”
