More than an hour passed in a flash.

Qin Qiushi and Lan's mother watched Lan Xuegui, who had not come out for a long time, and they couldn't help feeling a little worried. If it weren't for the sounds from the bathroom, they would have probably broken in.

"Squeak~"

The bathroom door opened.

Qin Qiushi immediately looked over and saw that Lan Xuegui's fair face was stained red and very swollen, and her exposed arms and legs were also rubbed red.

놛I felt so distressed that I wanted to cut all those people who were still making trouble in the police station into pieces!

Assistant Liu just called and said that we were making a big fuss, but we were suppressed by the lawyer we brought over.

"elder sister!"

Lan Binbin's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and walked towards Lan Xuegui.

놛 asked in confusion, "Sister, why is your 꿛 so red?"

Lan Xuegui's body froze, and then she forced a smile on her face, "It's okay."

She glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost 12 o'clock. She coaxed him softly, "Binbin, be good. Go to bed first, okay?"

"But, sister..." Lan Binbin's clear eyes were still looking at her.

"Sister, you accidentally rubbed too hard when you were taking a shower just now, so this happened. Sister, I'm fine." Lan Xuegui said softly without any impatience.

Lan Binbin pouted and clenched her hands tightly, "Sister, if someone bullies you, I will beat them up for you!"

Lan Xuegui smiled and said, "Okay."

Qin Qiushi was still standing beside the dining table, not coming forward, staring quietly at Lan Xuegui. He was moved when he saw how she tried to comfort her brother even though she was injured.

After confirming that Lan Binbin fell asleep.

Only then did Lan Xuegui realize that Qin Qiushi had not left yet, and she had a strange feeling in her heart.

She walked towards him.

When Mother Lan saw that the two were about to talk, she immediately went back to her room.

When Lan Xuegui saw Qin Qiu, her eyes couldn't help but warm up. She choked up and said, "Thank you for what I said just now."

When Qin Qiushi heard Miss 께 crying and talking to him with a choked voice, he actually wanted to hold her in his arms, but his body was still covered in mud, and he was afraid of getting her dirty again, so he resisted the urge to hold her.

"It's too late today, you should have a good sleep, and I'll take care of the rest." Qin Qiushi's voice became much softer when he spoke to her.

Lan Xuegui hummed.

"This is the medicine I just bought. It's very effective for reducing swelling. Apply it on it later."

Qin Qiushi handed Lan Xuegui a bottle of something, which was just sent over by someone. It was an ointment developed by his own medical team that had an excellent swelling-reducing effect and was currently being provided to wealthy families.

Lan Xuegui stared at the exquisite porcelain vase in the box, was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take it, "Thank you."

After Qin Qiushi left, Lan Xuegui sat in the living room and applied the medicine on her face before going back to her room to sleep.

Lan Xue realized that her mother had fallen asleep, but she didn't expect that she was still waiting for her. Her heart ached again. She lay on the bed, hugged her gently, and called softly, "Mom."

Mother Lan stretched out her rough hands, patted her back gently as if she were slapping a child, and said in a coaxing tone, "Don't be afraid, Xue'er. Mom is by your side. I will go to your uncle tomorrow to ask for an explanation."

She felt her daughter's body was still shaking slightly, and even though she tried her best to control it, she still noticed it, which made her heart break.

Lan Xuegui heard what her mother said and muttered, "Mom, I'm not a three-year-old kid anymore."

"In my mother's eyes, you will always be a child."

With the comfort of Lan's mother, Lan Xuegui's fear gradually dissipated, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Mother Lan went to sleep peacefully only after she saw her daughter fall asleep.

That night, Lan Xuegui slept uneasily. In her dream, she kept seeing the scene of what happened in the warehouse. She couldn't escape it no matter how hard she tried. Despair welled up in her heart and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

The next day, just after dawn, I heard loud knocks on the door.

Lan Xue felt a little headache when she returned home. She slowly opened her eyes and found that her mother had gotten up. She saw her mother open the door and go out.

Lan Xuegui was no longer sleepy and slowly sat up.

"Lan Xuegui, get up!"

Lan Xuegui was still in the room when she heard a shrill sound.

놆 great aunt.

"What do you want to do?"

As soon as Lan Xuegui came out, she saw her trying to slap her, so she dodged immediately.

Seeing this, Lan's mother immediately stood in front of her and angrily shouted, "Her aunt, what do you want to do to my daughter?"

Originally, she was furious when she found out yesterday that her daughter had done such a despicable thing to her own daughter. She hadn't even bothered them yet, but now she was troublesome for her own daughter first.

When Aunt Lan saw that Mother Lan dared to look her in the eye, she immediately scolded, "If you had raised a good daughter, how could my Rou'er have spent a night in the police station! You knew she was in the police station, but you didn't take her out. What were you thinking?"

She had kept her daughter at school overnight, but today before 5 a.m. she received a call from the police saying her daughter was in the station and she needed to go over.

After her questioning, she found out that the reason her daughter was in the police station was related to Lan Xuegui, so she rushed over with great momentum, intending to give Lan Xuegui a good beating!

Mother Lan was so angry that her face turned black. Hearing her confuse right and wrong and making a fuss, she said protectively, "That's because your daughter drugged Xue'er! If Xue'er's friends hadn't found her and rescued her, believe it or not, I would have gone over and chopped your daughter to death today!"

"You, you, you!" Aunt Lan was so angry that she was speechless when she heard that she dared to say such words to her.

All along, she had always been submissive and cautious in her heart, not daring to oppose herself. She never thought that she would dare to say that she wanted to chop off her daughter!

Lan Xuegui also looked at Lan's mother in shock. As far as she could remember, this was the first time her mother dared to go against her aunt.

She thinks her mother is very handsome.

After a while, Aunt Lan came back to her senses. She pointed at Lan Xuegui and said, "Even if my daughter drugged her, she must have done something to offend Rou'er. Otherwise, why would Rou'er drug her?"

As he said that, he wanted to reach out to pull Lan Xuegui's hand, "Come with me to the police station now and bring Rou'er out!"

Lan Xuegui was also angered by what she said. Is this the victim-blaming theory?

"I'm not going!"

Lan Xuegui refused coldly.

"No, you have to go today even if you don't want to!"

Because she heard the police on the phone say that her daughter could not be released on bail and would have to stay in prison for 15 days, unless the person concerned agreed, in which case she could be released early.

Seeing that Lan Xuegui didn't move, Aunt Lan became furious and wanted to hit her again, shouting, "If anything happens to Rou'er, I'll hold you responsible!"

Lan Xuegui looked at her aunt coldly, not at all surprised by her behavior.

Because she has always been so unreasonable since she was a child. No matter what happens, she will always blame her if she is present.

She recalled a time when she and Lan Chunrou attended the same junior high school and were in next-door classes.

When she was in the second grade of junior high school, Lan Chunrou accidentally fell while running during physical education class and scratched her knee.

It happened that day that the two of them finished class together and went home together. On the way home, they met their aunt who had just bought some vegetables.

When the aunt saw Lan Chunrou crying, she immediately asked her why she was crying.

Later, when she saw the injury on her knee, she started to scold her, blaming her for her fall and asking her why she didn't take good care of her.

Before she could react, she was slapped hard on the back and she almost couldn't stand.

She held on to the straps of her book tightly, trying to steady herself so as not to fall to the ground.

Looking back now, she thought of a word to describe the wound Lan Chunrou suffered at that time.

Well, if you don't send him to the hospital, the wound will heal.
