The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 898 - 418
Chapter 898: 418
Xiao Xuyang was never the kind of person who liked to meddle in others’ affairs. He overheard a bit but didn’t take it to heart. He had no idea who Loo Xinyue was, and the only reason he noticed her was because she seemed out of place in the private room when he walked in.
The man and woman were clearly plotting against Loo Xinyue, but whether she was unaware or pretended to be unaware, Xiao Xuyang didn’t know and had no interest in finding out.
Xiao Xuyang acted as if he hadn’t heard anything, washed his hands, and returned to the private room. However, as he drank and chatted with others, his attention would involuntarily drift toward Loo Xinyue and the couple beside her.
Thus, he clearly saw the woman, at the man’s instruction, spike Loo Xinyue’s drink with powder. He also witnessed Loo Xinyue, seemingly oblivious, drink the tainted beverage.
Xiao Xuyang slightly furrowed his brows when he saw Loo Xinyue drink the spiked wine. But in the next second, he shifted his attention away from her, no longer sparing her any thought.
Whatever would happen next had nothing to do with him, Xiao Xuyang.

Xiao Xuyang had thought that he and Loo Xinyue would never have any interaction again because they simply didn’t belong to the same world.
But sometimes, fate works in mysterious ways.
At that meal, the person being set up wasn’t just Loo Xinyue, but also Xiao Xuyang himself.
Typically, with Xiao Xuyang’s vigilance and special sensitivity to drugs, it would be impossible to drug him.
However, today his attention was distracted by Loo Xinyue; he didn’t notice any issues with his own drink until after he had finished it. Only then did he realize something was wrong with the alcohol.
He was genuinely surprised that someone dared to drug him. His eyes narrowed as he scanned the room.
Obviously, several of the people present knew Xiao Xuyang well and understood that ordinary drugs wouldn’t affect him. Thus, the drug used on Xiao Xuyang this time must have come from a special source, handed over to them.
And so, before Xiao Xuyang could manage to stand up and leave, he had already passed out.
Seeing Xiao Xuyang faint, those who had drugged him collectively breathed a sigh of relief. They had feared that the drug wouldn’t affect Xiao Xuyang, which would have spelled disaster for them that day.
The thought of Xiao Xuyang’s relentless methods sent shivers down their spines.
After confirming Xiao Xuyang had passed out, they quickly helped him to a pre-arranged room upstairs.
Once they saw Xiao Xuyang lying on the hotel bed, brows furrowed and eyes tightly shut, they didn’t dare to linger and promptly made their escape. Their task was complete; what came next was out of their hands.
However, in all their plotting and scheming, they overlooked one detail—that Xiao Xuyang’s physical resilience was not like that of an ordinary person. To be precise, Situ Xin, Muli, and the three siblings of the Xiao Family were all far from ordinary.
Their bodies possessed an abnormal capability to counteract toxins.
Indeed, not long after those people left, Xiao Xuyang, who was supposed to remain unconscious, had already opened his eyes.
