Qin Qianyi immediately responded, "Hey, my dad didn’t say that it was you who said it."
Shen Shuwen, who had always disliked Qin Qianyi, couldn’t bear it anymore.
She stood up abruptly, glaring fiercely at Qin Qianyi.
"Qianyi, I’ve been patient with you because you’re younger, but if you slander my daughter like this, I’ll fight you!"
At this point, her eyes turned red and wiping away the tears at the corners of her eyes, she choked, "My daughter is only six years old, just six! What does she understand? She was pushed and fell by your family’s Ann, injuring her arm.
Yet she kept comforting us, saying she was fine, that Ann was just playing with her! Is this playing? It’s clearly an attempt to harm our Xinxin!"
Qin Haochen’s eyes turned cold and sharp.
He glanced at his eldest son, Qin Fujia, and asked, "Did you record it?"
"Dad, I’m recording," Qin Fujia gently raised his hand, holding onto his phone all along.
Shen Shuwen’s sobbing abruptly stopped, her eyes flickered, and she instinctively asked, "Are you recording?"
Qin Fujia’s expression was indifferent. "Mrs. Shao, I’m preserving evidence."
"Preserving evidence?" Shen Shuwen was stunned.
What evidence did he want to preserve? What was he preparing to do?
Shao Yongkang also panicked, feeling that this time the Qin family came with great momentum and thorough preparation.
He asked, "President Qin, what do you intend to do?"
"President Shao, it’s still early.
Please ask your daughter to come downstairs," Qin Haochen lightly embraced Ann in his arms, his cold gaze fixed on Shao Yongkang.
"I have some matters to discuss with your daughter."
Shao Yongkang felt a stifling anger building up in his chest, unable to rise or fall.
However, in just a few minutes, his mood changed drastically.
Clearly, this was his own home, but the current situation made it seem as if the Qin family were the true masters.
Qin Qianyi glanced at Shen Shuwen and casually remarked, "Your daughter, despite her young age, is quite cunning. Faking falls, slandering our Ann."
Tsk, tsk, tsk...
The three consecutive "tsk" sounds seemed to hit Shao Yongkang’s sore spot, igniting the anger in his heart.
"Shuwen, bring Xinxin downstairs and let Qianyi see if our Xinxin really faked it!"
The injury on their daughter’s arm was not fake!
"All right!" Shen Shuwen glared angrily at Qin Qianyi, got up, and walked towards the stairs.
Qin Haochen coldly reminded, "By the way, Mrs. Shao, ask your daughter to bring down Ann’s little apple as well. That little apple doesn’t belong to her."
Shen Shuwen’s footsteps suddenly halted.
Shao Yongkang, upon hearing this, also wore a puzzled expression.
Both of them spoke at the same time, asking, "What little apple?"
Why hadn’t they heard Xinxin mention a little apple?
Qin Qianyi sneered in response, "Ask your daughter, who is more cunning than her age."
Cold sweat formed in Shao Yongkang’s palms as he looked at Shen Shuwen, urging her, "Go quickly."
Shen Shuwen’s heart began to tremble, feeling that the situation was completely different from what she had anticipated.
She quickened her pace, knocked on her daughter Xinxin’s room door, and called out, "Xinxin?"
The door was not locked, so Shen Shuwen pushed it open and entered.
Xinxin smoothly lay down in bed, closing her eyes.
"Xinxin, there are guests downstairs. Let’s go down," Shen Shuwen approached the bedside, seeing her daughter’s injured arm and her heart ached once again.
She gently lifted the blanket, "Xinxin, don’t sleep yet. Wait until the guests leave, then you can continue sleeping."
Xinxin fluttered her eyelashes as if being awakened from a dream, slowly opening her eyes.
"Mummy, who’s here?" Xinxin asked in confusion.
"The Qin family," Shen Shuwen’s eyes seemed to catch a glimpse of something flashing on the bed, but upon closer inspection, there was nothing shining.
She furrowed her brows in confusion, thinking that she might have been mistaken.
"The Qin family?" Upon hearing these three words, Xinxin’s body stiffened for a moment.
Could it be that they already suspected she had stolen the little apple?
No, that’s not right.
They checked the surveillance, and they had no evidence that the little apple was with her!
Or perhaps, they came to apologize to her? After all, she did fall at the Qin family’s house!
Thinking this way, Xinxin relaxed, a hint of satisfaction flickering in her eyes.
She feigned a frightened expression and asked in a soft voice, "Mommy, what are they here for?"
"Don’t be afraid, Xinxin.
With Mommy and Daddy here, they dare not harm you," Shen Shuwen embraced her shoulder and gently patted it.
"Come, let’s go downstairs first."
"All right, Mommy," Shao Xinxin obediently nodded and sat on the edge of the bed to put on her shoes.
Shen Shuwen looked around her daughter’s room and then asked, "Xinxin, do you know little apple?"
Shao Xinxin’s body stiffened, her eyes filled with panic.
Why did Mommy suddenly mention the little apple?
Maintaining an innocent and naive tone, Shao Xinxin asked in confusion, "Mommy, what little apple? Are you craving apples, Mommy?"
"No," Shen Shuwen shook her head, furrowing her brows.
"The Qin family is truly deranged, accusing you of taking their Ann’s little apple."
"Me?" Shao Xinxin blinked innocently.
"Mommy, we have apples at home. Why would I take Ann’s little apple?"
Damn it, the Qin family actually knows that little apple is with her! Are they suspecting her, or do they already have evidence?
"I knew it," Shen Shuwen rubbed her head.
"Let’s go, we’ll go downstairs first and show them how badly Ann has been bullying you!"
Shao Xinxin stiffened once again, her gaze falling on her injured arm.
She caused the injury herself, and the surveillance footage captured that scene.
No, the footage couldn’t capture what happened in the bushes!
As long as she firmly insists that the injury on her arm was caused by Qin Sui’an pushing her down in the bushes, and not by her own fall later, no one can provide evidence!
Shao Xinxin took a deep breath, put on her shoes, and followed her mother out of the room, heading downstairs.
In the living room, the atmosphere was tense.
Shao Yongkang felt uneasy, unsure of what the Qin family still wanted to do.
He couldn’t sit still.
Footsteps approached from outside.
Seeing his daughter Xinxin wearing pajamas, sleepily following her mother downstairs, Shao Yongkang immediately stood up and went to greet her.
"Xinxin."
"Daddy," Shao Xinxin raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, still looking quite sleepy.
She glanced at the others in the living room and politely greeted, "Uncle Qin, Brother Fujia, Brother Qianyi, Little Ann, good evening."
Shen Shuwen wore a proud expression, casting a glance at Qin Haochen, who was holding Qin Sui’an in his arms.
See, her daughter is well-behaved!
Even when she’s being bullied, she knows to address people politely!
Unlike that wild heiress from the Qin family!
