Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 240 - 239: Drugging Me? I’ll Make You Hug the Leader and Call Him Husband!
A face turned purplish-blue due to fear and choking.
Her eyes were fixedly staring at Lin Wan Yi.
There was no longer malice and madness in her eyes.
But rather, a fear from the depths of her soul... "Clang!"
A crisp sound echoed.
A glass shattered on the ground.
Meng Ting collapsed into the corner, her hands clutched tightly around her neck, choking violently.
"Cough...cough, cough..."
The noisy music stopped.
The swirling skirts on the dance floor ceased as well.
Everyone’s gaze simultaneously turned toward this corner.
Lin Wan Yi stood there, her lake blue dress making her look like an ice sculpture.
She looked coolly at the person on the ground.
Gu Yanshen was carrying a tray full of neatly arranged dried plums, striding back over.
He noticed the mess in an instant.
And Lin Wan Yi being watched by the crowd.
The man put the tray on the table beside him with a "thump" sound.
He quickly walked forward.
He did not ask what happened.
Instead, he directly pulled Lin Wan Yi behind him, shielding her entirely with his tall figure.
Blocking all probing gazes.
"Did she scare you?"
Gu Yanshen lowered his head, speaking in a low voice only Lin Wan Yi could hear.
Lin Wan Yi shook her head.
Only then did Gu Yanshen’s gaze move past her shoulder, landing on the disheveled Meng Ting on the ground. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
That gaze held no warmth.
"What’s going on?"
"Isn’t that Meng Dehai’s daughter? What’s happened to her?"
"She was fine just now, how did she suddenly end up on the ground?"
The murmuring around grew louder.
Meng Ting’s classmate, a few brave girls approached.
"Meng Ting? Are you okay?"
Meng Ting on the ground stopped coughing.
She lifted her head.
Her face flushed red like she was drunk.
Her eyes unfocused, without a target.
She started to laugh foolishly.
The laughter appeared especially eerie in the quiet auditorium.
"Sister-in-law, this..."
A bold female student looked at Lin Wan Yi who was sheltered by Gu Yanshen.
Lin Wan Yi peeked half her head out from behind Gu Yanshen.
A timely expression of panic and helplessness appeared on her face.
"I don’t know either."
Her voice was very light, with a hint of grievance.
"Meng insisted on giving me soda, saying it was to make amends."
"I hadn’t even had a chance to drink it..."
Lin Wan Yi pointed to Meng Ting, who was still twitching on the ground.
"She suddenly seized it all and drank it herself."
"Then... then she became like this."
Her words.
Clear and simple.
Everyone present was smart enough to understand instantly.
This was a failed apology resulting in a loss of self-control?
People looked at Meng Ting with increasingly scornful and bewildered eyes.
"Truly insane."
"Her father just got into trouble, she must be under stress."
Gu Yanshen held Lin Wan Yi’s shoulder, gently patting it, as if comforting her.
He said nothing.
But that action was his clearest statement.
Meng Ting shakily stood up from the ground.
The front of her old grey dress was soaked with orange soda, clinging stickily to her body.
She looked utterly pitiful.
"Yanshen..."
Meng Ting laughed foolishly, taking two steps forward.
Her gaze moved past Gu Yanshen in front of her.
Directly looking beyond him.
No.
Not behind him.
But to the other end of the crowd.
Political Commissioner Zhou had just arrived, frowning as he walked over.
"What’s going on? This dance was going so well; what’s with this commotion!"
Meng Ting’s eyes suddenly lit up.
She saw him.
Saw the person she had been yearning for day and night.
She pushed past her classmates blocking her way, swaying over like a butterfly.
Gu Yanshen turned sideways, intending to stop her.
Lin Wan Yi tugged at his sleeve.
She shook her head lightly towards him.
The real drama was just starting.
Everyone held their breath.
Watching Meng Ting take one step at a time toward the ashen-faced Political Commissioner Zhou.
"Yanshen..."
Meng Ting’s voice was so coquettish it could drip with honey.
Political Commissioner Zhou was stunned.
He stopped, watching the crazed girl student rushing over.
"You, student..."
Before he could finish his words.
Meng Ting fell with a "thud".
Not fallen over.
She knelt.
She held onto Political Commissioner Zhou’s leg.
Pressed her face against his pants, affectionately nudging.
The entire hall was silent enough to hear a pin drop.
You could only hear the gasp of everyone inhaling sharply.
Political Commissioner Zhou, over fifty, with hair already graying.
He stood there rigidly, as if struck by lightning.
His face turned from ashen to purplish-red.
"Mr. Gu...Yanshen..."
Meng Ting looked up, her eyes full of blooming peach blossoms, foolishly gazing at Political Commissioner Zhou.
"I knew it, you have feelings for me."
"Are you afraid of that capitalist young lady?"
"Don’t be afraid... I’ll help you..."
Her words were jumbled.
But each word was firm and resounding, like a loud slap.
Also, a slap on Political Commissioner Zhou’s face.
"Outrageous!"
Political Commissioner Zhou trembled with anger, wanting to kick her away.
But his military discipline prevented him from kicking a female comrade in public.
"Quick! Pull her off! Where is the security unit?!"
Political Commissioner Zhou shouted angrily to those around him.
Several female teachers hurried forward, trying to pull Meng Ting up.
But Meng Ting held on tightly.
To prove something, she looked up, shouting at Political Commissioner Zhou:
"Yanshen! Look at me!"
"I’ll do anything for you!"
"I put something in the soda! I prepared it especially for you!"
"Once you drink it, you’ll listen to me! You’ll fall in love with me!"
"We can be together forever!"
The crowd erupted in an uproar.
The entire auditorium exploded.
Drugging?
Did she really dare to drug the National Defense University officer at a social dance?!
Everyone’s gaze changed.
From amusement to shock and fear.
Political Commissioner Zhou’s face could no longer be described with colors.
He only felt a rush of blood to his head.
This was a scandal!
A huge scandal!
"Don’t worry..."
Meng Ting was still clinging to his leg, mumbling.
"I only want you... I don’t want that woman..."
Before she could finish.
She fainted, completely slumping to the ground.
"Quick! Get her to the infirmary!"
"Notify the security unit! Investigate thoroughly! We must investigate thoroughly!"
Political Commissioner Zhou’s voice carried thunderous anger.
The scene descended into chaos.
Gu Yanshen took off his military coat.
The oversized coat, carrying his crisp scent, wrapped Lin Wan Yi tightly from head to foot.
He said nothing.
Just held her shoulder, guiding her through the chaotic crowd, walking out with her.
No one dared to stop them.
No one dared to watch.
At the entrance of the auditorium.
The evening breeze brought a slight chill.
Lin Wan Yi leaned against Gu Yanshen’s chest.
She looked up, softly saying.
"Yanshen."
"Hmm?"
"That coat needs a good wash later."
"It got stained with something dirty."
