265 Chapter 265 dispelling doubts, the curse from Xia Ningyan

There was one thing she did not understand. She had gradually drugged Shi Jue multiple times already. It should have made him more susceptible to the effects of the drugs. However, this didn't happen.

"There's one thing I don't understand. Young master Shi Jue, can you explain it to me?" She had to know the reason. She knew it would bother her until she died. "I clearly drugged you. You should have feelings for me, but that didn't happen. Why?"

Shi Jue glanced at Xia Ningyan with disdain.

Xia Weiyang could not help but widen her eyes when she heard this. This was the first time she had heard of this.

She thought that Xia Ningyan had only drugged Lin Xilan. She did not expect that she drugged Shi Jue, too.

Xia Weiyang could not help but raise her head to look at Shi Jue.

Sensing Xia Weiyang's gaze, Shi Jue turned his head and gave her a haughty look. "Do I look like a stupid person to you?" He then looked at Xia Ningyan. "Alright, I'm a very good person. I'll tell you."

Shi Jue paused for a moment before continuing. "Indeed, I was careless the first time. However, do you think that I'm a brainless person like Lu Ziyin? I've always hated and disgusted you. How could I suddenly change my opinion of you? I became suspicious when I suddenly developed feelings of pity and even love for you."

"After that, I started to investigate. I didn't expect that you would be capable of finding such a rare drug. Even my own people still haven't figured out the ingredients of your drug. Fortunately, my poisoning was relatively shallow and the effects of the medicine hadn't entered my blood yet. If you had succeeded a few more times, I'm afraid that things wouldn't be like this now."

Hearing this, Xia Weiyang felt terrified. If Shi Jue had not discovered the effects of the drug, Xia Ningyan have succeeded with her plan.

'Ah!'

If Shi Jue fell for Xia Ningyan's tricks, she would definitely use his power to go after Xia Weiyang.

Fortunately, that didn't happen.

Lying on the ground, the corners of Xia Ningyan's mouth twitched as she laughed bitterly.

She thought that her plan was working. "Then, you have been acting ever since." Shi Jue should have kicked Xia Ningyan out of his house a long time ago. However, he let her stay despite knowing about her plan.

"Ha!"

Shi Jue sneered in disdain.

"You think too highly of yourself. If it weren't for the person behind you, I would have never allowed you to stay at my house!"

Xia Ningyan lowered her head and thought about something. Suddenly, she raised her head and laughed maniacally at Shi Jue.

"Haha! So, it seems there are people that you're afraid of. However, young master Shi Jue, you will never know the people I'm working with. Even if I die, I won't tell you. Just wait for them to come and find you. Young master Shi Jue, I will have my revenge! Haha!"

Suddenly, Shi Jue stared at Xia Ningyan with a cold look in his eyes.

He originally wanted to ask her about those people, but it seemed it would be useless now.

He had to think of another way to find out more about those people.

Xia Weiyang glanced at Xia Ningyan and held Shi Jue's hand to comfort him. Although she did not know why Shi Jue was afraid of those people, she would always be by his side to give him support and encouragement.

Feeling Xia Weiyang's soft touch, Shi Jue gently patted her hand. "It's okay. No one can hurt me."

"Xia Weiyang!" Suddenly, Xia Ningyan looked at Xia Weiyang with a ferocious expression. "If you treat me like this, you'll never know where your real mother is..."
