Chapter 738: Chapter 738: I Want Her To Go To Jail
Rong Yan looked at her indifferently and said, “One must pay with life for taking another; I won’t jeopardize myself for someone like her.”
Jiang Meiqi stared at her nervously, “Then what do you intend to do? Weiwei is your sister, I tell you, I will not let you harm her!”
Rong Yan met her gaze, calm and collected as she said, “I want her to go to prison.”
I want her to go to prison!
Jiang Meiqi and Rong Weiwei thought they must have heard wrong, especially Jiang Meiqi, who was most shocked and immediately furrowed her brows, chastising Rong Yan, “What nonsense are you spouting! Go to prison for what? Weiwei hasn’t done anything to you, why should Wei go to prison?”
Rong Yan looked into her eyes, not the least bit joking, “Rong Weiwei’s actions have already constituted a crime. Even if it’s an attempted crime, she has the conditions sufficient for imprisonment.”
Rong Weiwei’s fingernails dug into her flesh, her face deathly pale as she clutched Jiang Meiqi’s arm in panic, “Mom, I don’t want that, please.”
Jiang Meiqi patted her soothingly, “Don’t be afraid, as long as I’m here, I won’t let you go to prison.”
Even after being comforted, Rong Weiwei couldn’t help feeling uneasy at the bottom of her heart.
Rong Yan was off today, very off!
She always felt that this time her foolproof trump card might not be able to save her.
This realization made her heart pound in fear, and her breathing became labored.
With one hand clutching Jiang Meiqi’s arm, she looked toward Rong Yan and forced herself to appear weak as she explained, “Sister, I really didn’t know there was something wrong with that glass of champagne. I just randomly picked up a glass from the table for you, and I drank it too.”
“Heh, the drug was in your hand; you only needed to drug one glass. What does your drinking it have to do with you drugging it?”
“Rong Yan, why can’t you just believe Wei? Why do you insist on pinning all the blame on her before you’re happy?” Jiang Meiqi couldn’t stand seeing her mocking Rong Weiwei and again asked angrily.
Rong Yan had long learned to ignore her and looked straight at Rong Weiwei, continuing steadily and calmly, “Before you did it, you should have thought that I wouldn’t let you off after I woke up. Since you dared do it, it means you were prepared for the consequences. Rong Weiwei, you don’t think that after you boldly drugged me in a public place, I would let you off easily, do you?”
…
Rong Weiwei bit her lip hard, her face pale, her eyes as delicate and helpless as they could be. Few would believe that a girl who appeared in need of protection was actually callous and unscrupulous in her methods to achieve her goals. But Rong Weiwei was such a person! She always seemed clean and innocent, but her private strategies were more vicious one after another.
“The thugs you hired, Li Shengxiao is still holding them for me. There were people who saw you handing me the champagne, and even if there weren’t, Qi Yue could be a witness. Besides, the hotel has security cameras. Didn’t you say you had no prior knowledge of the problem with that glass of champagne? The surveillance will show the truth when the time comes. You haven’t had the chance to tamper with it yet, have you?”
Rong Weiwei’s lower lip was almost bleeding from biting it. It was all that man’s fault for arriving too quickly and with an iron fist, directly locking down the hotel; she hadn’t had the time to deal with the surveillance.
Seeing her reaction, Rong Yan knew she had hit the mark, and curled up the corners of her mouth. The smile, however, did not reach her eyes, “Rong Weiwei, you dared to use such a flawed tactic; were you so certain that I would have no way of dealing with you afterwards?”
