Chapter 1289: Poison him with 1288

“Are you planning to poison him?” Tan Rou did not quite approve of Shang Jin’s approach, “It’s very dangerous because you don’t know what Feng Jiao’s constitution is like. If he drinks the juice and dies, what will you do then?”

Shang Jin said, “I’ve already tested this fruit, and it only causes red spots, it won’t kill anyone.”

Tan Rou said, “I just said, everyone’s constitution is different. Perhaps the fruit only causes red spots for you, but you can’t guarantee it will do the same for others. So it’s better not to poison him.”

“I can’t stand it,” Shang Jin said angrily and irritably. “Did you see his attitude towards Jiang Min? Once they get married, he definitely won’t treat Jiang Min well. By then, they can’t get divorced, and Jiang Min will just have to suffer his torment.”

Tan Rou calmly said, “That’s Jiang Min’s own choice, and we shouldn’t interfere.”

Shang Jin became very agitated. “Is that really her choice? She only has one option, what is there to choose? Jiang Min doesn’t like him, and he doesn’t seem to like her much either. Why are they being brought together at all?”

“But poisoning him won’t help either,” Tan Rou pointed out a very realistic problem. “If he’s poisoned, he can be treated. As long as he doesn’t die, the wedding will definitely continue.”

Shang Jin said with great conflict, “I also wanted to poison him to death, but that would be illegal, and it wouldn’t help Ah Min at all but would only cause trouble for myself.”

“It’s good that you understand that,” Tan Rou threw away the red berry in her hand. “Stop feeding him red berries, let’s think of something else.”

Suddenly, Shang Jin had an idea. “Tan Rou, can’t you make medicine? Could you make a drug for Feng Jiao that will make him unconscious for a while? That way, we’d have more time to help Ah Min.”

Tan Rou felt that this medicine sounded familiar; wasn’t it the same one that Zhuang Liu’s third uncle had used on Zhuang Liu’s father? That medicine was no good, and Tan Rou wouldn’t make it.

“No, I can’t make that kind of harmful poison. Stop thinking about it,” Tan Rou rejected Shang Jin’s suggestion.

Shang Jin said dejectedly, “So we can only watch him bully Ah Min?”

Tan Rou thought for a moment, then said, “Maybe we could administer a different kind of poison, one that won’t harm his body, but won’t make him feel good either.”

“That works.” Shang Jin didn’t care what it was, as long as it made Feng Jiao uncomfortable, she was happy. “Give him a bit more poison, make him uncomfortable all the time.”

Tan Rou knew that Shang Jin and Jiang Min were close, but for Shang Jin to risk breaking the law to seek justice for Jiang Min indicated that their friendship was really strong.

“Shang Jin, why do you hate Feng Jiao so much?” Tan Rou asked. “Logically, today is your first meeting with Feng Jiao. Your hatred for him, is it merely because you are friends with Sister Min and want to help her?”

Shang Jin wasn’t afraid of the question and replied to Tan Rou, “Yes, I just feel that Ah Min should not marry him. Ah Min is such a good person, she should marry someone who truly loves her, not someone unsightly and of bad character.”

Seeing the inquisitive look on Tan Rou’s face, Shang Jin laughed a little and told her a story.

“When I first got admitted to Capital University, I was very scared,” Shang Jin recalled the past. “I was afraid of encountering hard-to-get-along-with roommates, afraid of meeting teachers with bad temperaments. But the first person I met when I entered was Ah Min. She smiled at me all the time, introduced me gently to the school, and even gave me her contact information to help me if I ever had any troubles.”

“Later she formed a research group, and the second person she invited was me. She said I was amazing and could join her group specially. For this, she was even scolded by the school leaders, but she said the money she spent on establishing the research group wasn’t the school’s, so the school had no right to interfere with her choice of people. After that, we stayed in her group until the end.”

After completing the story, Shang Jin emphasized again, “Tan Rou, you have to add a bit more poison for Feng Jiao. I want to make him uncomfortable every day, so he doesn’t have the energy to bully Ah Min ever again!”
