Rebirth in the 80s: The Scholar Wife is Cute
Chapter 249

Chapter 249: Chapter 249

"What’s the matter?" Xu Haiyang’s hands were stuffed in his pockets as he smirked, "Still holding a grudge about those slaps I gave you yesterday?"

Zhou Siyu clenched her fists but kept a smile on her face, "Brother Haiyang, how could I bear a grudge? I wouldn’t dare!"

"Always so honest."

As Xu Haiyang reached out to touch Zhou Siyu’s cheek, she dodged sensitively.

Was this Xu Haiyang trying to kill her?

If a classmate passing by saw them, and thought there was something between them, she’d never be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

What would she do if the school expelled her?

His hand met air, and the smile on Xu Haiyang’s face cooled, but he wasn’t angry, "Didn’t you say yesterday that you’d help me with whatever I asked?"

Zhou Siyu nodded, "That’s right, Brother Haiyang, do you need my help with something?"

"Tomorrow, before your sister leaves the house, make her drink this." Xu Haiyang pulled out a small white paper packet from his pocket, like the kind used to wrap fever medicine by doctors.

Although she couldn’t see what was inside, from the look of the packet, it seemed to contain some kind of powder.

"Hai-, Brother Haiyang, what’s inside this?"

Zhou Siyu panicked a little. Could it be poison in there?

She wanted to ruin Shen Mianmian; she really despised Shen Mianmian and wished to monopolize everything of Shen Mianmian’s, but she had never thought about actually killing Shen Mianmian!

Although she didn’t know much about the law, she was aware that killing someone meant going to prison.

Seeing her flustered, Xu Haiyang guessed she was overthinking, "Don’t be afraid; it’s just Obedience Powder. It won’t kill anyone."

Obedience Powder?

Zhou Siyu saw this stuff for the first time, but the name wasn’t difficult to guess its function.

Still, she wasn’t entirely reassured and didn’t immediately reach out to take it.

"Eating this, it really only makes people obedient, and won’t kill anyone, right?"

If Shen Mianmian died from it, she would be finished, too.

"I just like your sister. I have no feud or grudge against her. What would I do killing her? Murder leads to prison; I’m not sick to go about doing that." He might be into playful antics, but had his limits; not causing a death was his bottom line.

"But... she’s my sister."

Zhou Siyu still hesitated. If something happened and Shen Mianmian knew it was related to her and reported it to the police, wouldn’t she be done for?

Shen Jianhua wouldn’t let her off.

"Stop pretending with me." Xu Haiyang grew impatient, "When you were taking things from me before, you didn’t think of her as your sister."

Before Zhou Siyu could speak, he threatened, "I didn’t bring Gouzi with me this time, I’m already giving you face."

If he hadn’t wanted to avoid trouble that day, Zhou Siyu wouldn’t have gotten off so easily.

Remembering that incident, Zhou Siyu went pale, but she seized the opportunity to negotiate with Xu Haiyang, "Then no matter what happens in the future, you can’t get me involved."

Her voice paused, and she mustered some courage to add, "After this time, don’t come looking for me anymore."

"Heh..." Xu Haiyang sneered coldly, "You sure know how to play the angles. Fine, as long as you help me this one time, I won’t come looking for you again, and I won’t send Gouzi after you either. Is that sincere enough?"

Once Shen Mianmian was his, she would be cooked rice—a done deal. When he got tired of playing with her, he’d drop her, and Zhou Siyu really wouldn’t be his concern anymore.

With that assurance, Zhou Siyu was overjoyed and quickly pocketed the item.

"Does this stuff work? Have you tried it?"

Obedience Powder.

The name alone sounded magical. Would eating it truly make someone do whatever she
