  " Mom, what is this?" Xie Xinyi looked at the small medicinal bottle in Xie Rouxi's hands.

  She glanced at Xie Ming who was knocked out only after a glass of wine. Strangely the girl who can finish a whole bottle was already knocked out. Today, they came to talk to Xie Ming and urged her to have a glass of wine with them and resolve all the past issues. However, she was reluctant to do so but in the end, she agreed when Xie Rouxi said that she had something to talk about her mother.

  Xie Rouxi's lips curled up as she said in a low voice while pointing at the bottle, " This? This is the key for you to become Mrs. Jin. It's been a year and they haven't even gotten a divorce yet. If you don't do anything now, you will have to wait for years to enter this house just like me."

  " Mom, don't tell me, just like her mother, you're trying to kill her as well?" Xinyi raised her eyes in shock while covering her mouth as she spoke in a low voice.

  Xie Rouxi frowned and said, " Are you stupid? I didn't kill her. I just drugged her. It was she who drove the car afterward and got into an accident. I was just trying to create a bridge between Xie Rong and her and giving him a reason to divorce her. But unfortunately, she got into an accident before she could get into my trap." She sighed. However, there were no signs of guilt on her face when she said this.

  " Then this drug?" Xinyi asked in confusion.

  Rouxi smirked and said, " This drug will keep her unconscious for hours. I have already mixed it in her wine, that's why she knocked out so early. I have prepared a guy for her, Liwei is about to come. So we should hurry up and leave. If he sees them in a compromising state, they would get divorced immediately." She grinned and told her the whole plan.

  " But Mom, it won't kill her right? I heard that some medicines can go wrong if taken with alcohol?"

  Xie Rouxi waved her hand and said, " Aye, nothing will happen. This bitch has thick skin, for her alcohol is like water. Nothing will happen."

  Xie Xinyi pursed her lips but nodded anyway. Xie Ming is indeed thick-skinned. Xinyi was about to get up when someone grabbed her wrist.

  Her eyes widened in shock when she looked at Xie Ming who had woken up. Even though she has opened her eyes, but she was not in her senses.

  " What? Drug? You……killed my mom?…… You……fucking bitch……I am gonna kill you." She has heard their words and even though her body was feeling lethargic and weak, she was trying her best to stay awake. However, the intoxication was too heavy which was making her queasy and dizzy.

  Everything seems to be moving and she could not even see anything clearly. Her eyes were barely opened but she didn't loosen her grip on Xinyi's hand.

  Xie Rouxi was shocked to see that she had woken up despite being drugged. She cursed under her breath and regretted that she didn't pour the whole bottle in her drink. Rouxi tried to remove Xie Ming's hands-off Xinyi but her grip was stronger even though she was unconscious.

  " Ah, Mom. Seems like Liwei has come back earlier than usual." Xinyi panicked when she heard the noises from the front gate. They are right now in the backside of the house and are sitting beside the pool. Xie Ming has already dissipated the servants because Rouxi has told her that she has something important to talk about and it's not something that others should hear.

  "Crap!" Xie Rouxi cursed under her breath.

  She tried to pull Xie Ming off Xinyi but she suddenly stood up and tried to strangle her instead.

  Xinyi was also shocked when Xie Ming started strangling Xie Rouxi. Her body was swinging and even though she had no energy left in her but she was doing her best to strangle Rouxi.

  Xinyi finally managed to pull Xie Ming off Rouxi and pushed her towards the forward. Because of her weak body, she fell into the pool, on her back. Since she doesn't know swimming, she started to drown very soon since it was a deep side of the pool. In the meantime, Liwei arrived and found Xie Ming drowning.

  " Liwei, she……save her. She tried to take her life. We tried to stop her but she jumped in the pool saying that she won't divorce you and will take you to hell with her." She sobbed as she held onto Liwei's sleeve who had just arrived at the poolside upon hearing her shouting.

  Liwie was shocked seeing Xie Ming drowning but acted quickly and jumped into the pool without thinking about anything.

  Xie Rouxi and Xinyi exchanged glances as they hadn't planned this, but whatever happened was in their favor.

  'If this bitch died, then Xinyi's way will be cleared for forever.' Xie Rouxi couldn't help but feel satisfied thinking about the consequences of this.

  When Xie Ming was taken to the hospital, Rouxi dealt with the doctor and managed to hide the news about Xie Ming being drugged. The doctor only told Liwei about her being drunk and she fell into a coma because of drowning and she might have hit her head while she fell into the pool.

  However, he hides the fact that she was drugged and that drugged becomes more stronger and powerful if taken with alcohol. Along with that, she almost drowned which caused her brain cells to numb and she fell unconscious and was in a coma for three months.

  Xie Rouxi and Xinyi were happy because if she had woken up, she would have revealed the truth to Liwei and would not have left them alone. They tried their best to convince Liwei to marry Xinyi during the time Xie Ming was unconscious but he didn't agree to this.

  ***

  Back to the present,

  Xie Ming pursed her lips and looked at the duo who came to her office and was asking her a favor to persuade Liwei to spare the Xie company.

  She clenched her fists as those strange yet familiar memories flooded, causing her to hold onto the armrest of the chair tightly.

  She has always felt suspicious of Xie Ming's death because there is no way she would have gone into the coma for three months just by drawing and that too when Liwei saved her in time.

  Even after getting Xie Ming's memories, she couldn't remember what happened on the day the incident happened. But for some reason, Xie Rouxi and Xinyi's shameless words triggered her and those memories flooded in her mind.

  ' So they not only tried to drug Xie Ming but……her mother also died because of them?'

  Xie Ming was shocked knowing how shameless and criminal minded they are.

  "Xie Ming, also, I hope you can talk to Liwei to take Xinyi back to the company. Or at least he can give her a position in the global world. She is your sister after all."

  Xie Ming gritted her teeth as sweat beads appeared on her forehead and her breathing quicken.

  " SHUT UP!" She shouted when Xie Rouxi's words became too much for her. ….

  Xie Rouxi who was speaking was startled when she suddenly shouted at her.

  " Get out. Don't ever come back here. And if you think that I will help you guys, then you're mistaken. One day, I will show you guys your real place. Get out now." She yelled at them as she stood up from her chair.

  " Xie Ming, are you stupid? How can you chase us out? We came to meet you because we still…" Xinyi was shocked and annoyed by the way she was acting.

  "Security!" Xie Ming shouted and a lady guard who was standing outside came in.

  " Take them out of here. Also, never let them visit me ever again. Put these people in the blacklist." The lady guard was confused that she was chasing her family like this. But she remembered that she doesn't have a peaceful relationship with her family, especially with her stepsister who trapped her in a sexual harassment case.

  The guard was also a fan of Xie Ming. She is not only popular among young but old people as well. After joining the hospital, she has very good relations with everyone, even with the cleaning staff and the security staff as well.

  Xinyi and Xie Rouxi humphed and left the office reluctantly. They couldn't understand her behavior as she suddenly started yelling at them.

  After they left the office, Xie Ming slumped on the chair with a thump. Her face turned pale and she was sweating even in the cold weather.
