What follows is the beginning of a wound that penetrates deep into the flesh, connecting to the smooth skin.
Xia Wan frowned slightly.
Before Cui Ziqi could finish unbuttoning his shirt, she pounced on him and ripped it open.
The claw marks were deep, tearing through the white skin and turning it inside out, a truly horrifying sight.
"Who did this?"
After asking her question, Xia Wan answered on her own without waiting for Cui Ziqi's reply.
"It must have been those dogs from the Cui family who did it!"
The original text describes how the Cui family publicly bestowed a good reputation upon Cui Ziqi, making the world believe that she was endlessly pampered.
