Chapter 24 White Lotus!
"Jia Luo, can I play with you guys?" Lin Lan said softly.
Qin Wanqing looked at her, rolled her eyes and muttered, "White Lotus!"
Because of what she just said, Jia Luo no longer had a favorable impression of her, but he still said politely, "Sure!"
Lin Lan ignored their attitude and squatted down to touch Dahua's back.
Suddenly, Dahua let out a shrill "meow", grabbed the back of Lin Lan's hand with one claw, and hid in Jialuo's arms.
"Ah!" Lin Lan cried out in pain, tears welled up in her eyes and she cried out loudly.
Qin Wanqing and Jia Luo were shocked by this sudden change. Dahua left several long nail marks on the back of Lin Lan's hand, and there were traces of blood.
Jia Luo frowned and stroked Dahua gently, trying to calm it down.
Dahua's body was trembling slightly, and its eyes were staring at Lin Lan vigilantly, as if it was guarding against something.
The crying here soon attracted the adults.
Mrs. Lin saw the wound on Lin Lan's hand and shed tears in pain: "Lan Lan, how are you?"
"Mom, Mom, it hurts, that cat scratched me, please help me get revenge, beat him to death, beat him to death!" Lin Lan cried and said to Mrs. Lin.
When Jia Luo heard this, his face instantly turned cold.
Qin Wanqing said bluntly, "Bai Lianhua, why are you pretending? I touched Dahua and nothing happened, why did she arrest you? Did you do something?"
"Mom, I didn't, I didn't! It hurts." Lin Lan cried out of breath.
Mrs. Lin hugged Lin Lan in her arms with heartache.
Mrs. Lin's face darkened and she said angrily, "What's going on? Whose cat would catch someone?"
Jia Luo stood up, with grievance in his eyes: "I'm sorry, Dahua is not like this usually. It may be frightened. Please don't blame Dahua."
At this time, Wen Yan also heard the situation and came over. After hearing what Jia Luo said and looking at Lin Lan in Mrs. Lin's arms, he couldn't help but frowned.
He walked over to Carol, picked her up, and patted her back gently to comfort her.
Then he turned to Mrs. Lin and said, "Mrs. Lin, please treat the child's wound first. We will check the surveillance footage later to find out what happened!" He then pointed to a camera not far away.
Mrs. Lin didn't dare to show her displeasure to the future head of the Wen family. Her expression softened slightly, she nodded, and took Lin Lan to treat the wound.
After they left, Jia Luo hugged Da Hua tightly in his arms and said aggrievedly: "Big brother, I'm sorry, I don't know why Da Hua would catch Lin Lan, please don't chase Da Hua away!"
"He's never been like this before!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Lolo, I also touched Dahua just now, but Dahua didn't catch me!" Qin Wanqing hurriedly explained.
Wen Yan touched Jia Luo's head and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, I won't send Dahua away!"
"Let's go and take a look!"
As he said that, he hugged Jia Luo and led Qin Wanqing towards Mrs. Lin and the others.
In the hall, Lin Lan was surrounded by people, and his hands were carefully washed and bandaged.
Her tears gradually stopped, with obvious fear in her eyes.
Mrs. Lin comforted her softly, but at the same time she was filled with anger towards Dahua.
At this time, Wen Yan came over holding Jia Luo. When Lin Lan saw the big flower in Jia Luo's arms, he quickly hid behind Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin saw this and her face turned cold: "President Wen, what do you mean by this? This little beast hurt my daughter, why did you bring her here?"
"Dahua is our friend, you are not allowed to scold him. Lin Lan insisted on playing with Dahua, and when he was scratched, he blamed this and that. I also played with Dahua, why didn't Dahua scratch me!" Qin Wanqing shouted at Mrs. Lin angrily.
Mrs. Lin didn't even look at Qin Wanqing, but stared straight at Jia Luo in Wen Yan's arms.
Wen Yanan patted Qin Wanqing's head soothingly before slowly speaking.
"Mrs. Lin, we will know what happened after we see it. Don't call them beasts all the time. It's disrespectful!"
"You..." Mrs. Lin was choked by Wen Yan and couldn't speak. After a while, she said, "Just watch. If it is really this beast... this cat that hurt my daughter for no reason, then you have to give us an explanation!"
Wen Yan looked at the two of them, his eyes cold and without a trace of emotion.
"Of course!"
The surveillance video was played, and the footage clearly showed everything that had just happened.
From the surveillance footage, we can see that when Lin Lan was touching the big flower, she looked at Jia Luo and Qin Wanqing from time to time. When she noticed that the two were not looking at her, her gestures suddenly became hurried, and then she pinched the big flower hard.
Dahua was obviously frightened and instinctively grabbed the back of Lin Lan's hand.
Mrs. Lin looked at the surveillance video and her face turned extremely pale.
When the people around saw this, they were all whispering.
"How can this daughter of the Lin family be so young, Tsk!"
"Yeah, I wanted my daughter to have some fun with her, but now it seems that's out of the question!"
…
Mrs. Lin heard what was said around her, and her face turned even paler.
But she still said, "It's just a cat, it's not seriously injured, but my daughter was definitely scratched by him!"
"Hmph, even if it's a cat, it's still our Wen family's cat. So? Do you, the Lin family, want to interfere in our Wen family's affairs?" Wen Yan's voice was cold and emotionless: "Of course, our Wen family will be fully responsible for your daughter's medical expenses, but your daughter's behavior must also be properly educated"
Mrs. Lin's face turned even paler. She knew that Wen Yan's words made sense, but as a mother, she could not accept her child being accused in this way.
Madam Lin picked up the injured Lin Lan and said coldly, "Your Wen family is very powerful. We, a small family, can't afford to offend you. Goodbye!"
Wen Yan knew that before leaving, Madam Lin wanted to sow discord between the Wen family and other families in Jiangdu, but how could he let her do that?
"Mrs. Lin is wrong. We in the Wen family never target anyone!"
Mrs. Lin did not respond, turned around and left, with a hint of loneliness in her back.
After Mrs. Lin left, Wen Yan said loudly to everyone: "Everyone continue!"
The crowd around gradually dispersed, leaving only those who were close to him whispering about what had just happened.
As the sun sets, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually comes to an end, and no one seems to have been affected by the scene just now.
The guests left the Wen family one after another with satisfied smiles on their faces. The Wen family's banquet hall gradually returned to peace, with only a few servants left to clean up the aftermath of the banquet.
Qin Wanqing reluctantly said goodbye to Jialuo. Wen Lingyue smiled and said to Qin Heng: "Mr. Qin, you have a good daughter. Bring Wanqing home to play often in the future!"
"must!"
"Sister Qingqing, come and play with me when you have time!" Jialuo said with a smile, holding Qin Wanqing's hand.
"Okay, I'll come and play with you and Dahua when I have time, just be good and listen to me!" Qin Wanqing hugged Jialuo like a little adult.
The two little girls hugged each other tightly, and Qin Wanqing, accompanied by her parents, prepared to get in the car to go home.
Just as they got on the car, Jia Luo noticed the changes in Qin Wanqing and the others' faces, and she quickly called out, "Uncle Qin, wait for me!"
