“Little Yun, medical technology is so advanced nowadays. Your voice will definitely recover…”

“Yes, the doctor didn’t say it was permanent damage. Don’t cry.”

“You’ll be fine in two days. You’ll definitely be able to go on stage again.”

…

Everyone was talking at once, but everyone knew that singing had high requirements for the throat and couldn’t tolerate the slightest flaw. If there was any damage to her throat, she probably wouldn’t be able to perform on stage in the future.

Seeing Xu Yuanfei and Song Fengwan enter, everyone looked furious.

Especially when they saw Xu Yuanfei, someone short-tempered shouted, “Why are you still here? Get out, you executioner!”

These people usually sang opera, so they were very good at controlling their voices. Their tones were hurried and cold, and they really stabbed her heart.

“Gao Liang!” A Jing family member frowned.

“She personally brought that thing over. But after eating it, so many people were poisoned. This isn’t ruining people’s throats. This is ruining people’s lives.”

“…” The Jing family members were helpless in the face of this occasion.

Xu Yuanfei reached out to stop him. “It’s alright. He can scold me if he wants to.”

At this moment, the people around the hospital bed moved back a little. Only then did Song Fengwan see the person sitting on the bed clearly. The so-called Little Boss Mei was actually the young lady she had witnessed being bullied by her senior sister.

Although her makeup had been removed, her eyes were still recognizable. Her eyes were red, and she even looked desperate.

“Don’t pretend to be so pitiful. It looks like we bullied you. The food has already been taken for testing. If Little Yun’s throat is really ruined, don’t think that it’ll be over just by paying a few yuan. This matter won’t be over!”

“Gao Liang, stop talking.” The person who came out to stop the fight was actually Yin Changge.

Song Fengwan tilted her head to look at her. She was also wearing a hospital gown, and her face was slightly pale. She was probably one of the people poisoned.

“Senior Sister.” Gao Liang gritted his teeth. He looked as if he wanted to skin Xu Yuanfei alive.

“The police will give us an explanation for this. Don’t talk nonsense.”

There was nothing wrong with the first half of her words. Song Fengwan and Xu Yuanfei had both interacted with her directly or indirectly before, so they were a little surprised. She shouldn’t be a peacemaker. As expected, she immediately said…

“Miss Xu has a good relationship with Master’s family. Why are you shouting? Aren’t you making things difficult for Master?!

“The most important thing now is Little Yun’s problem. I believe that since Miss Xu is here, she will definitely take responsibility. Stop it. It’s already chaotic enough.”

…

These words made the ward fall silent.

Everyone present was indebted to Sheng Aiyi. Even if she protected Xu Yuanfei, they would only be able to swallow their anger.

So when she pointed out that Xu Yuanfei had Sheng Aiyi to support her, it was almost as if she was pushing her into a fire pit. Everyone stopped talking, but Song Fengwan could clearly feel the atmosphere in the ward becoming more oppressive.

“I’m here to assure everyone here that if there’s really a problem with the food in my store, I will take full responsibility. If there’s really a problem with Miss Mei’s throat, I will treat her at all costs…”

At this moment, Xu Yuanfei was very passive and could only say some weak words.

“You only know how to say high-sounding words.” Someone scoffed.

“Yeah, how could she know how important our voices are to us? She almost ruined Little Yun’s life.”

“You make it sound so easy. Can you buy a good voice with money?”

…

Before the food test results came out, Xu Yuanfei really couldn’t explain and could only passively endure their accusations. Song Fengwan stood quietly at the side and didn’t speak…

Then someone picked up a box of tissues and threw it at Xu Yuan. “Get out!”

Xu Yuanfei didn’t dodge. This thing wasn’t heavy. It didn’t hurt when it hit her face.

It was just that her heart felt extremely aggrieved.

“Alright, we’ll go out first. Miss Mei, take care of yourself.”

Song Fengwan couldn’t sit still anymore, but Xu Yuanfei pulled her out.

At this moment, a cold snort came from behind.

“You should have gotten lost long ago.”

Get lost. Sometimes, using this phrase really hurt people’s hearts.

Song Fengwan turned her head around. “Aren’t you going overboard?”

“How are we going overboard? Someone has already lost their entire life by eating her food, yet you’re still not allowing us to talk? Miss Song, I advise you not to use her food for your engagement banquet, lest you get food poisoning from eating it…

“It’s a joyous day. You don’t want anything unlucky!”

“The test results aren’t out yet. Who can be sure that there’s something wrong with the desserts?” Song Fengwan gritted her teeth.

“Even if she’s guilty, it’s not your place to draw conclusions.”

“You must still think that Mrs. Jing will protect her. I just want to ask, do you know how much effort she has put into the garden and how much she loves Beijing opera? You know better than me how much effort she has put into training talents. How could she protect the person who committed evil after being mistreated like this?

“She’s the first person who wants to punish the murderer. There will be no such thing as favoritism and covering-up as you think.

The corners of Song Fengwan’s lips twitched slightly. “I hope you won’t be led astray by someone with ulterior motives and develop a rift with Mrs. Jing. That will disappoint her.”

Everyone had been blinded just now. But on second thought, Xu Yuanfei had appeared recently. No matter how close she was to Sheng Aiyi, it wasn’t enough to make her give up her garden.

Song Fengwan’s words were completely directed at Yin Changge.

This made her grit her teeth in hatred. “Miss Song, are you saying this on purpose for me to hear?

“Are you trying to cover this up and protect her?

“I’m afraid that’s not appropriate!”

Song Fengwan pursed her lips. “People’s hearts are biased. You’re worried about your friend, but I’m also concerned about my friend. I want to help her. I don’t deny this.

“But everything has to be based on facts and evidence.

“If it’s determined that her desserts had poison and that she’s involved, I won’t protect her. We’ll wait for the test results. Before the desserts arrived in the garden, no one else touched them. But I’m afraid many people in the garden have touched them. Who can guarantee that your garden is very clean?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yin Changge sneered. “Miss Song, I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for you to say that. We’ve always had good relationships.”

“There are only so many famous actors. Who doesn’t fight for this? Or is there someone here who can tell me with certainty that they’re willing to be a background actor their entire lives and not a leading actor?”

If one thought about it carefully, as long as they sang and acted the same type of role, there would definitely be competition. It would be harmonious on the stage, but there would be fierce fights in private everywhere.

Song Fengwan’s deduction successfully silenced the ward.

“Miss Yin, right? Do you have anything else to ask?” Song Fengwan asked with a hint of playfulness in her expression.

Yin Changge knew that she had seen her reprimand Mei Xiaoyun before and was afraid that she would push her out now. She gritted his teeth and remained silent…

Just as the atmosphere in the ward was stifling, Sheng Aiyi appeared. “Did something happen?”

“It’s nothing.” Xu Yuanfei spoke first.

“You’re here.” Sheng Aiyi’s heart was as clear as a mirror. This incident was strange and bizarre. Without evidence, she wouldn’t suspect anyone.

“Yes.”

“Let’s talk outside.” Sheng Aiyi looked at the ward. “If you have nothing to do, you should go back to the garden. Don’t spread what you shouldn’t say.”

She was also worried that the scandal in the garden involved Xu Yuanfei. If this matter blew up again, it would be a slap to her face.

Everyone responded, said goodbye to Mei Xiaoyun, and walked out.

***

At this moment, the police officers and the people from the health department were divided into two groups. They were investigating the situation in Xu Yuanfei’s store and the hospital.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yuanfei was in the hospital.

“Miss Xu, we might have to ask you to come back with us to assist in the investigation.”

“Okay.” Xu Yuanfei nodded.

The police clearly stated that she would be cooperating with the investigation.

But not long later, there were suddenly rumors online that the beautiful lady boss of an internet celebrity store had been officially arrested and detained for breaking the law.
