Chapter 548 Breakdown and Crying
Ji Wan's expression changed drastically, and he rushed over: "Zhao Xiyue, what did you do to her?"
Zhao Xiyue seemed to be frightened by Nian Nian's crying. She hurriedly let go of her hand with a panic expression on her face: "I, I didn't hurt Nian Nian. What's wrong with you? Did auntie accidentally hurt you? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby."
As she spoke, she frantically tried to "comfort" Nian Nian, but her eyes quickly scanned the spot where Nian Nian had been pinched. There, a clear red mark quickly emerged, and it was turning purple.
very good.
While Ji Wan was not close enough, Zhao Xiyue turned her back to Ji Wan and quickly took a photo of the scar with her mobile phone at an extremely hidden and tricky angle. The whole process took less than two seconds, and the shutter sound was perfectly covered by Nian Nian's crying.
"Let her go." Ji Wan rushed over, snatched Nian Nian, who was crying breathlessly, from Zhao Xiyue's arms, hugged her tightly, and felt extremely heartbroken.
She rolled up Nian Nian's sleeves and saw the glaring red and purple pinch mark at a glance. Her pupils suddenly contracted and anger rushed to her head.
"Zhao Xiyue." Ji Wan's voice trembled with extreme anger. She raised her head suddenly, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire, staring at Zhao Xiyue, "You vicious woman. How dare you hurt Nian Nian?"
The color drained from Zhao Xiyue's face. She waved her hands repeatedly and tears started to flow again, this time with real fear and grievance.
"It wasn't me. Wanwan, it really wasn't me. I don't know what happened. I was just hugging her. Maybe, maybe I was too strong. I really didn't mean to. How could I hurt Nian Nian? She's mine too..."
"Shut up," Ji Wan snapped, each word icy. "People like you aren't even worthy of mentioning Nian Nian's name. Ten minutes are up. Get out. Now. Right now."
She pointed at the door, her chest heaving violently. If looks could kill, Zhao Xiyue would have been riddled with wounds long ago.
Zhao Xiyue looked at Nian Nian who was crying heart-wrenchingly in Ji Wan's arms, and looked at Ji Wan's eyes that seemed to want to eat her alive, and knew that there would be no good result if she stayed any longer.
The goal has been achieved, so she no longer dwells on it.
"Wanwan, please believe me, I really..." She wanted to argue, but when she met Ji Wan's extremely cold gaze, she swallowed the rest of the words.
She staggered back a few steps, with deep "despair" and "reluctance" on her face. She took one last look at Nian Nian, then turned around dejectedly and moved towards the door step by step.
"Bang."
Ji Wan slammed the door shut, blocking out Zhao Xiyue's hypocritical face.
Ji Wan held Nian Nian, who was still sobbing, in her arms, her heart aching. Anger and fear made her feel cold all over.
How could she be so stupid as to trust Zhao Xiyue again and give her the opportunity to get in touch with Nian Nian.
This woman is even more vicious than she imagined.
The living room was dead silent, with only the sound of Nian Nian's steady breathing as she fell asleep.
Ji Wan dipped a cotton swab in the ointment and carefully applied it to the purple pinch mark on her daughter's arm. Her hands were shaking violently, as if she was touching a treasure that was about to break.
The cool touch of the ointment made Nian Nian frown in her sleep, and Ji Wan's heart was also in a knot.
How could she have believed that venomous snake's lies? She let her in, let her get close to Nian Nian, and gave her the opportunity to hurt her daughter.
Regret and anger were like two invisible hands, squeezing her heart tightly and making it difficult for her to breathe.
This was the scene Chi Wenyan saw when he came out of the study.
Under the light, Ji Wan's profile was pale, his shoulders trembling slightly, and the pain in his eyes was almost overflowing. He walked over lightly, his eyes falling on the glaring scar on Nian Nian's arm, and his eyes instantly turned as cold as the cold current of Siberia.
"She did it?" Chi Wenyan's voice was very low, but it carried a sense of impending storm.
Ji Wan didn't look up, but just hummed with a heavy nasal sound.
Chi Wenyan didn't ask any more questions. He reached out and gently placed his hand on the back of Ji Wan's trembling hand. The warmth in his palm gave him a soothing power. "Go to sleep. I'll keep you company."
Ji Wan shook his head and stubbornly stayed by the sofa, as if one more glance would transfer the injuries on his daughter to himself.
On the other side, Zhao Xiyue, who had just escaped, was sitting in the nanny car, and there was no trace of panic or grievance on her face.
She opened the photo album on her phone and looked at the photo with a tricky angle and ambiguous lighting with satisfaction.
In the photo, the red and purple pinch marks on the child's delicate skin are particularly eye-catching and shocking.
She skillfully opened an encrypted chat app and sent the photo. The other party immediately replied with a question mark.
Zhao Xiyue raised the corners of her lips and typed quickly: "The information is here. It says that Ji Wan abused his adopted daughter and has a twisted personality."
She paused, then added the most damaging sentence: "Let me make another big fuss. Nian Nian is not her biological child at all."
After sending the message, she turned off her phone, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes. The neon lights of the city outside the car window quickly receded, casting bright and dark shadows on her face, just like her current vicious heart.
Overnight, the online world changed dramatically.
The next morning, Ji Wan was awakened by a series of life-threatening calls from his assistant and agent, Sister Zhou.
"Oh my god! How can you still sleep? The sky is falling!" Assistant Zhou's voice sounded like a mouthful of hot oil, urgent and hot.
Ji Wan rubbed his aching temple, still a little confused: "What's wrong?"
"Just look at Weibo for yourself. You're on eight of the top ten trending searches. It's a huge hit, absolutely a huge hit!"
Ji Wan's heart skipped a beat, a sense of foreboding quickly creeping in. She hung up the phone and clicked on Weibo, only to be greeted by a blood-red news item with the word "Breaking."

Digging into the true relationship between Ji Wan and his adopted daughter#
The carefully cropped and color-adjusted photos showed the pinch mark on Nian Nian’s arm yesterday!
The accompanying text is extremely provocative: "How can someone who is not even the biological mother have the right to occupy the child? Being a stepmother is difficult, and it seems that Ji Wan is no exception. It's terrifying to think about it carefully. Usually in front of the camera, the mother and son are loving and filial, but in private..."
The comment section has been completely overwhelmed, with curses and questions pouring in like a tide.
Ji Wan's blood seemed to freeze instantly, and her phone nearly slipped from her hand. She was furious at Zhao Xiyue's despicable and shameless behavior, but what chilled her to the bone even more was...
The fact that Nian Nian was not her biological daughter was impossible for anyone else to know except her, Chi Wenyan, and a few of their closest relatives!
Could it be Zhao Xiyue...
However, she is Nian Nian's biological mother, she shouldn't do this, right?
"Don't look." A warm big hand covered her eyes and took the phone away from her.
