In the festive Su Mansion, Su Bei prepared for her long-awaited wedding to Du Luo, donning a stunning gown on her eighteenth birthday. After drinking bird’s nest soup, her half-sister Su Huixian sneaked in, admitting she drugged it and summoned bodyguards to ruin Su Bei before the ceremony. Pretending to sleep, Su Bei confronted the pale Su Huixian and gripped her wrist firmly.

Su Bei gripped Su Huixian’s chin with her free hand, compelling her to gape her mouth open wide.

A rare chill edged into Su Bei’s languid tone as she declared, “No matter what’s in this soup, it’s yours now.”

Releasing Su Huixian’s wrist next, she snatched up the bird’s nest soup pot and dumped its contents directly into Su Huixian’s mouth.

Su Huixian thrashed wildly while shaking her head furiously. Yet unable to escape Su Bei’s firm hold, she had no choice but to endure the bird’s nest soup being forced messily down her throat.

“I didn’t... Su Bei... You... Let go of me!” Su Huixian choked and coughed without stop, her face twisted in misery as she jerked her head back and forth.

The door burst open all of a sudden, and a striking man marched inside. Spotting the chaotic scene, he seized Su Bei’s wrist at once and yanked her away from Su Huixian.

Shock overwhelmed him completely. “Su Bei, what are you doing?”

“Du Luo, your timing is perfect. Su Huixian spiked the bird’s nest soup with drugs. She even summoned bodyguards to rape me. Fortunately, I saw through her plot quickly. Now, she’s consuming every bit of that soup,” Su Bei answered steadily, a hint of scorn flashing in her gorgeous eyes.

Du Luo’s soft expression hardened upon hearing Su Bei’s account. “Is it true?”

Su Huixian shook her head in woe. “No, it isn’t. How can I do such a thing? Su Bei, I know that you don’t like me, and I can tolerate that. But how can you frame such a vicious thing against me? Mr. Luo, I really didn’t do that...”

Her forlorn expression stirred pity in Du Luo for Su Huixian. He faced Su Bei and stated, “Su Bei, you are already the precious daughter of the head of the Su family. No one can take that position from you. Why do you have to do this to Huixian?”

Du Luo’s remark grated harshly on Su Bei’s ears, stirring discomfort as she noted him casually calling her half-sister just Huixian. Since when had they gotten so familiar?

“Are you suspecting that I am deliberately framing her?” she questioned, gazing at Du Luo in astonishment.

“It’s okay for you to be willful at times. But you have to know that there are things you can’t just joke about,” Du Luo told Su Bei. Then, eyeing Su Huixian with compassion, he added, “Huixian always puts up with you. But enough is enough.”

Su Bei locked eyes on Du Luo’s chiseled features. His smug righteousness struck her as utterly laughable.

With sarcasm dripping from her voice, she demanded, “You believe her instead of me?”

Du Luo looked away, his fists balling up in his pockets. He offered no reply to her question.

“What is going on here? Why are you fighting again?” Su Xingfu, Su Bei’s father, and his wife, Xu Zhiqin, hurried into the room side by side.

Su Huixian promptly flung herself into Xu Zhiqin’s embrace, sobbing with injustice, “Mom, I really didn’t drug Su Bei. I also did not find someone to rape her. How could I do such a thing to her?”

Xu Zhiqin’s face shifted subtly. “Su Bei, there may be some sort of misunderstanding here, right?”

“I’ve heard everything she said with my own ears. She even called someone to tell the bodyguards to come to my room. How can it be a misunderstanding?” Su Bei countered.

Su Huixian wept desperately. “How can I do such a heartless thing and ruin your life? Doing such a thing will also ruin my own life. Do you think I am not afraid of being in jail?”

Pain filled Xu Zhiqin’s voice as she uttered, “Hubby, I believe that Huixian will never do such a thing. But since it seems that we can’t reconcile th
