The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More-Chapter 391 - Questioning Xing Meng

Chapter 391: Questioning Xing Meng

In the end, the matter in the hall did not blow up. In order to comfort the negative emotions of the students, the teachers were forced to give Mo Zhu a roommate.

Considering that Mo Zhu’s personality was cold and she usually only interacted with the students of Class Eight, under Li Xiao’s suggestion, Meng Ran was assigned to stay in the same room as Mo Zhu.

After receiving the order, Meng Ran knocked on Mo Zhu’s door with her luggage. After explaining the situation in detail to Mo Zhu, Mo Zhu nodded and gave up the other bed in the room.

As the rooms were arranged by the competition’s judges, this hotel had provided the students with a standard room with two beds. Now that one of the beds was taken by Meng Ran, the room was filled with a lot of luggage and it did not look as empty as before.

After unpacking the things she had brought, Meng Ran was about to ask Mo Zhu what she had done the last time she left the research institute in a hurry. Unexpectedly, before she could speak, Mo Zhu stood up, opened the door neatly, and left.

Meng Ran scratched her head and stood in the room in a daze, looking like she did not know what was going on.

After leaving the room, Mo Zhu casually found a familiar student from the corridor and found out Xing Meng’s room number.

After walking two steps, Mo Zhu found the room and knocked on Xing Meng’s door impatiently.

Xing Meng was unpacking the luggage that the Xing family had brought for her. When she heard someone knocking on the door anxiously, her expression darkened unhappily and she exuded a cold aura.

After instructing a young lady from a high school in Beijing who was staying with her to open the door, Xing Meng lowered her head and suppressed the anger in her heart before continuing to unpack.

A moment later, just as the door was opened by the young lady, Mo Zhu could not wait to kick the door open. Her sharp eyes saw Xing Meng squatting by the bed and unpacking the clothes in her suitcase. She flashed to the girl and Mo Zhu frowned as she scolded, “Xing Meng, is this how you return my favor?”

Seeing that the person who came was Mo Zhu, Xing Meng raised her eyebrows and stood up. She crossed her arms and asked with interest, “What favor? And what attitude did I have towards you?”

Mo Zhu looked up at Xing Meng, a cold glint shooting out of her eyes. She said in a low voice, “Do you dare to admit that you’re the eldest daughter of the Xing family? Do you dare to say that you, Xing Meng, didn’t participate in the incident where the Kang family poisoned Huo Xuan two days ago?”

After being suddenly criticized by Mo Zhu, Xing Meng really did not react to what had happened. She stood rooted to the ground for a few seconds before asking indifferently, “The Kang family? Do you think that a small family like the Kang family can suck up to the Xing family? What a joke, what a huge joke. If I wanted to attack you and your fiancé, why would I spend so much effort to find the Kang family to join forces? It’s really degrading!”

When Mo Zhu heard this, she lowered her eyes and pondered carefully for a moment. She felt that what Xing Meng said made sense. She frowned coldly and asked bluntly, “You keep saying that you didn’t do it, but what about the drop of liquid mixed with poison beside the closet in the research institute’s dormitory?”

It was not that Mo Zhu had to suspect Xing Meng. There were a total of four people living in the dormitory of the research institute. Apart from Meng Ran, who was innocent and Jiang Yu was her relative, she could not be a suspect. The only person with a motive was Xing Meng, so she had no choice but to place the suspect on Xing Meng alone.

Xing Meng lowered her arm and gently rubbed her palms. Thinking that she still owed Mo Zhu a favor, she pursed her lips and explained with a good temper, “Mo Zhu, you’re usually such a smart person. Why are you making mistakes now? Think about it carefully. With the Xing family’s many years of work habits and family tradition, if I really wanted to take action on you, I definitely wouldn’t use such a despicable method like drugging and poisoning you. The Xing family has many talents and strong abilities. Even if it’s one-on-one, it’s not that we aren’t you and the Huo family’s match!”
