Chapter 438: Why Would I Fear Poison

Nan Jiaojiao lifted her chin, signaling her to come over and sit.

It wasn’t that Zhou Zining refused to move, but she was still shocked by Nan Jiaojiao’s previous action.

It was too fast; her eyes couldn’t catch it.

So, if Nan Jiaojiao wanted to hurt her…

She might not have the chance to fight back.

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t urge her, and she poured herself a cup of tea.

Zhou Zining’s room contained exquisite things, even the teacup was made of bone china—based on its color and pattern, it was from centuries ago.

Tsk, using an antique for drinking tea.

“Aren’t you afraid I might poison it?” Zhou Zining asked as she walked over.

Nan Jiaojiao took a couple of sips of tea and chuckled lightly, “You’ve been spreading rumors that I’m from Xiao Nanshan, why would I be afraid of being poisoned?”

Zhou Zining’s eyes flickered, and she sat down across from her, “It wasn’t me who spread it.”

“But it certainly started from you.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s confident tone angered Zhou Zining, who retorted hatefully, “There were so many people in the room, why do you suspect me?”

“Because the Bo Family wouldn’t.”

“What?”

“The Bo Family would lock down the information, but not your mouth, or maybe, you had already disclosed my identity to someone else before this.”

Zhou Zining remembered the photo she sent to her grandfather.

She pursed her lips tightly, “It wasn’t me, and this is my room, get out right now!”

Nan Jiaojiao was caressing the edge of the teacup, which still had a bit of tea left in it.

She looked up, staring at Zhou Zining’s sickly face under the pristine makeup, and spoke indifferently, “Who are you waiting for?”

Zhou Zining’s eyes twitched, her face unable to hide her panic; she clenched her palm fiercely, trying to calm herself down, then an odd, cold smile spread across her lips.

“Nan Jiaojiao, what right do you have to question me?

I am the Fourth Young Madam of the Bo Family, I can do as I please.

Don’t pretend you can see through me—I’ve said it before, you are not worthy.”

With that said, she stood up without looking at Nan Jiaojiao’s expression, walked over to the vanity mirror, sat down, took out some cotton pads and dabbed them with makeup remover.

In a few quick motions, she removed her sickly makeup, then facing the mirror, she drew her eyebrows and applied more makeup.

What was that makeup called again?

No-makeup makeup?

Nan Jiaojiao suddenly felt rough.

“I’ll overlook other matters, giving you a chance to seal your lips and apologize to me.”

Zhou Zining stared hard at Nan Jiaojiao in the mirror, finding her extremely annoying!

“I said it wasn’t me!

No matter how many times you ask, I’ll say it wasn’t!”

As long as she didn’t admit it, no one could do anything to her.

After all, this was the Bo Family.

Who would dare touch her!

Nan Jiaojiao’s long eyes contained a smile, but the smile gradually cooled.

Without another word, she started typing on the computer, her fingertips moving so fast they were a blur, a string of code scrolling across the black screen.

She pressed the enter key.

Then, she sent a message to Qu Xiaoxiao.

Less than a minute later, “Superiority’s” stock price plummeted, with a sudden news headline accusing Superiority’s CEO of stealing gold coins.

The financial books were exposed, revealing transactions with numerous celebrities over the years, and several shady operations designed to exploit both companies for profit.

And “Superiority” was the company of the journalist who had troubled Nan Jiaojiao earlier that afternoon.

Zhou Zining’s phone rang, she glanced at the caller ID, her hand shook a bit, and instinctively looked back, not daring to answer.

Meanwhile, Bo Yanching was at a social event.

Han Chuan, holding a phone, came over and whispered, “Sir, Miss Nan is in trouble.”
