After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 408

As Grandpa Jin sat in the living room, he was about to swallow the pill in his hand.

A figure rushed in, but stopped abruptly upon seeing him.

"How did you come?"

Looking at the frowning old man, Jin Shumei felt all the affection she had for him vanish instantly.

She glanced instinctively at the man's thumb, and when she didn't see the familiar ring, she was taken aback.

Grandpa Jin slammed his water glass down on the table with a loud bang, his expression displeased. "I'm asking you a question!"

Hearing the noise, Jin Fangyi quickly came out of the kitchen. "Dad, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?"

Seeing the old man staring at the door with a dark face, she glanced at him in confusion, but understood after seeing who was standing there.

"So it's Fifth Brother. But haven't you been busy with company matters lately? What brings you here?"

Jin Shumei then came to her senses. Seeing the old man taking medicine while his face was flushed, a look of concern appeared on her face. "Dad, I heard from my friend that you haven't been feeling well lately, so I came back to check on you. But why is my eldest sister here too? Isn't she busy with work today?"

With Jin Fangyi here, I'm afraid she won't have such a good chance of getting the ring.

We have to think of a way; Chi Cang is still waiting for her at home!

"You still have friends in the hospital?"

Grandpa Jin asked with a puzzled look, his gaze fixed on his daughter without changing expression.

After noticing the fleeting guilt in her eyes, my heart sank completely!

He raised all these children single-handedly, so how could he not see through each of their little schemes!

It seems his suspicions were correct; the medicine that was replaced in the medicine bottle was probably done by this good daughter of his!

The more Mr. Jin thought about it, the colder he felt.

His attitude towards Jin Shumei became even colder.

"You don't need to worry about my health. You've finished watching, you should go back now."

These blatant words of dismissal froze Jin Shumei's smile.

Her hands, hanging by her sides, were clenched until they turned white as she tried her best to calm herself down. "Dad, I am still your daughter, and I should also fulfill my filial duties to you."

"I know I did some bad things in the past, but that's all in the past. Do you really intend to keep me at arm's length?"

Seeing her hurt expression, Old Master Jin's eyes remained unchanged.

He still spoke calmly, "I'm afraid I can't bear the weight of your filial piety."

One sentence was enough to put a somber atmosphere in the hall.

Jin Shumei stood up in disbelief, her wide eyes meeting the cold gaze of Old Master Jin, and suddenly her heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that this old man discovered what she was doing at home?

No, not possible!

She had a friend add something directly to the medication from the hospital; it didn't even touch her, and there was no way there was any surveillance.

How did the old man discover this?

"Dad, Fifth Brother meant well, you should..." Jin Fangyi stepped forward to persuade him when she saw the atmosphere was not right.

Before she could finish speaking, the old man grabbed the medicine bottle from the table and threw it heavily towards Jin Shumei.

Jin Shumei instinctively reached out to block it, and the medicine bottle hit her arm, scattering the pills all over the floor.

"Her kindness was actually a ploy to poison her own father!"

The servants standing around looked at Jin Shumei in shock upon hearing this explosive news.

Even Jin Fangyi was stunned.

He looked at his fifth sister, who was different from his family, with a complicated expression.

"Uncle Zhang, let them go down first."

Jin Fangyi was the first to react, casting warning glances at the surrounding servants.
