Chapter 980: Expired Bread

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“My son was poisoned at her house and was sent to the hospital by her. Isn’t that proof enough?” Huang Fei snapped, her face darkening. “What more evidence do you need? Are you suggesting I’d harm my own son? Gu Zi, I know you have a sharp tongue and I can’t outtalk you, but don’t think you can brush this matter aside so easily!”

The crowd stirred uneasily. After all, what mother would deliberately harm her own child? And considering the boy had indeed fallen ill after visiting the Su household, it wasn’t entirely unreasonable to suspect a connection. The whispers grew louder as doubts began to surface.

Gu Zi, however, remained unfazed. With an air of practiced composure, she addressed Huang Fei directly. “I am not brushing anything aside. You suspect I fed your son tainted food, and I am saying I did not. Naturally, I have the right to defend myself. If you don’t believe me, you should report this to the police. I’m more than willing to cooperate with an investigation. But if it turns out that I’ve been falsely accused, I hope you’re prepared to compensate me for defamation.”

Gu Zi knew exactly what kind of person Huang Fei was and had anticipated this kind of slander. She had hoped to resolve the misunderstanding quickly, without escalating the situation, but Huang Fei had crossed a line. To openly level such accusations in front of so many people? Well, Gu Zi wasn’t about to back down.

Huang Fei, oblivious to the gravity of the situation, thought Gu Zi was merely bluffing. After all, she never let her son, Xu Sheng, eat just anything. Their household exclusively stocked high-end imported groceries.

Xu Sheng had always been fine—until today. Clearly, the problem couldn’t have come from her home. It had to be something he ate at the Su household.

And even if Gu Zi hadn’t deliberately fed Xu Sheng bad food, accidents happened. Gu Zi’s children were raised in the countryside, accustomed to eating anything and everything. But Xu Sheng was different—delicate and pampered from birth. What their stomachs could handle, his certainly could not.

Huang Fei saw an opportunity. Pin the blame on Gu Zi, tarnish her reputation, and watch her crumble. No more flaunting her status in the neighborhood after this.
