It became a huge commotion as the other diners saw the scorpion crawling on the floor.

  "Eww! Disgusting!"

  "How did a scorpion come here!?"

  "But did you see? His wife threw it away. That means it was on his back the whole time!"

  Jiang Zhen's suit was deep black upon which the black scorpion camouflaged itself and could easily climb him. Nobody noticed it.

  Lihua gasped. "Jiang Hua! Are you okay?"

  Jiang Hua's finger was bleeding more profusely, and she felt weak. She softly collapsed on her seat, sweating.

  "I am fine…"

  Ruru was frozen in his place as he watched the blood trickle down. His mother looked pale and restless. He clutched his teddy bear harder to his chest, his body shivering.

  Lihua immediately noticed it and hugged his small trembling body. "Don't be afraid, Ruru. She will be fine! Your Mama is really strong! See, she caught the bad scorpion and defeated it all by herself! She saved your Dada from harm. She is awesome, right?"

  Ruru didn't move. Qingqing narrowed her eyes and jumped on his lap. She rubbed her head against his neck and softly purred.

  Hearing this, the other diners nodded their heads. They seemed to have changed their opinion about her who were once secretly laughing at her for not knowing English.

  "Y-Yeah that's admirable. I would have freaked out."

  "I would have fainted!"

  "The man is really lucky to have her as his wife."

  "Oh gosh, what if the scorpion is poisonous?"

  It was Anna who confirmed. "No, the scorpion is not poisonous."

  Lihua was relieved. "Really?"

  "Yeah. I am into animal health care, so I know about it. It's not poisonous, so she will be fine. The dunk is painful, so it will sting though."

  Charles clapped once and exclaimed in English. "Oh that's wonderful! Jiang Zhen, it's such a relief, right?"

  Jiang Zhen gave a small smile. "Yeah. This is great news. What concerns me is how this dangerous scorpion came here in the first place?"

  Amidst the crowd and confusion, Lihua noticed Fu Renshu and Meng Ya's sneaky movements dressed as the staff, who quickly grabbed the scorpion and disappeared.

  Her eyes slowly widened.

  That…That was Wei's doing!?

  Ever since they left home for dinner, she had been wishing for a scorpion to bite Jiang Zhen. It was a silly wish out of frustration, but Wei fulfilled it anyway.

  However, Jiang Hua noticed it at the last moment and injured herself.

  Damn, this was for hurting Jiang Zhen, but poor Jiang Hua suffered. Why is this bastard so lucky!?

  But she was thankful that Wei didn't put a poisonous scorpion upon him, or Jiang Hua would have unnecessarily been in serious health trouble.

  The paramedics at the hotel quickly gave a visit and treated her bruise. After giving a mild painkiller, Jiang Hua seemed to look much better.

  Jiang Zhen banged his palm on the table. His eyes were dark and dangerous, burning with rage. "Call the manager right now! A freaking scorpion was on my back! What the hell is going on here!?"

  Charles sighed. "Of course, it was an accident. This is a five star hotel. Who would dare harm their customers? They should take responsibility though."

  He gnashed his jaw in rage, shooting a deadly glare at him.

  This happened after he came. Fuck, he planned all this and is now claiming it as an accident? Do you take me for a fool!?

  He is back to have his revenge on me!

  The manager hastily arrived on the scene. "Sir, I heard what happened! My extreme apologies!"

  The other customers complained in dissatisfaction.

  "What kind of a hotel is this?"

  "What if the scorpion would have bit one of us?"

  "Such a dangerous creature was loose among us!"

  Jiang Zhen was about to lash at him himself, but then two things happened.

  First, he clutched his stomach and gasped in pain.

  Fuck, it hurts so bad!

  Everybody was puzzled.

  What happened to him?

  "My stomach…It freaking hurts like hell!"

  But his painful groans were quickly drowned by Qingqing's sharp hissing voice.

  *Meowww!*

  She stood upright on her legs and was flailing her paw at Rurus cheek.

  Lihua furrowed her brows. "What's wrong, Qingqing?"

  Jiang Hua noticed Ruru hadn't moved his gaze at all. He was blankly looking straight ahead as if he wasn't in his senses.

  She quickly waved her hand in front of his eyes. "Ruru? Ruru?"

  But he wasn't speaking or moving. He was just emptily staring ahead.

  "W-What happened?" Tears rimmed in her eyes. "He is not responding."

  Lihua sat beside him and chirped. "Ruru! See, it's me, Lihua! Will you teach me chess today? You promised me, right?"

  He said nothing.

  Anna gasped. "His arms and legs are jerking. He seemed to be blacked out! I think it's a febrile convulsion. He is having a seizure!"

  Lihua and Jiang Hua lost all color from their faces.

  "We should call a doctor!"

  Jiang Zhen, who was already mad about his stomach pain was now furious at nobody even bothering to look at him. He could hardly bear the pain.

  Lihua answered without giving a second thought. "Mingshen! Call Mingshen right now!"

  They quickly left in the car towards their home. At the far corner, Fu Renshu and Meng Ya were watching all the commotion.

  Meng Ya bit her lip. "Damn, our scorpion plan failed!"

  Fu Renshu pressed his brows. "Why did Jiang Hua have to save him? He is a jerk even towards her!"

  "And now their son is in shock. I feel guilty…"

  Wei's calm voice came from the back. "Don't be. Jiang Hua saving him was unpredictable. We couldn't have guessed it. As for the child, he will be alright. Mingshen will be there, after all."

  Meng Ya found some consolation in his words.

  "Well, at least tonight wasn't a complete failure. Heh. We successfully riled him because of Charles's meeting."

  Fu Renshu sneered. "Don't forget his stomach ache. He is gonna be in bed for days now."
