Bai Zhu looked completely bewildered.
She really... doesn't know this person.
The man who appeared in everyone's sight was a man with a handsome and sharp appearance, and an aloof and noble air.
His features were extremely handsome, with a high nose bridge and thin lips as sharp as a knife. However, what was even more eye-catching was his extremely aloof temperament.
Cold and indifferent, yet making no attempt to conceal the aloof and arrogant air that keeps people at arm's length.
For some reason, Bai Zhu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The man also got out of the car in a hurry and came to her in a few steps. His cold and aloof aura suddenly disappeared, and he bent down with a gentle smile and carefully helped her up!
"Your knee is injured. Come with me, I'll take you to the hospital to get it treated."
His voice was gentle, yet carried an undeniable strength and concern.
Bai Shu looked up at him, stammering, and whispered, "Who are you? How do you know my name?"
The little girl's clear eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness. She was young and had been plagued by troubles lately, worrying all day long. She had lost a lot of weight and looked particularly pitiful and cute.
Xiao Lingchen held her shoulders and could clearly feel the shoulder bone under his palm. Her body was as thin as a piece of paper, as if it would bend if the wind blew.
And she's still hiding.
A-Tong.
His A-Tong.
When has his Ah Tong ever suffered such injustice?
"Don't you recognize me? Yes, you don't."
He murmured, his voice so faint it was carried away by the wind, only the last syllable trembling.
"It's better not to know them, so I can live a carefree and happy life without any ties or companions. But in my heart, it hurts as if someone has ripped out my bones and blood."
Bai Shu didn't hear his voice clearly and asked in confusion, "Hmm?"
The man had already released his grip on her shoulders and said with a gentle smile, "My surname is Xiao, and my family has a long history with your ancestors. So, you should call me brother."
Bai Shu's doubts deepened.
Perhaps sensing her disbelief, the man pondered and said, "Your parents showed me a family photo not long ago, and they said they would bring you to visit my home this summer, so I remember what you look like."
He looked at her apologetically, his sharp, starry eyes now filled with a gentle smile: "I just saw you fall by the roadside and rushed over in a hurry. If I have been impolite, please don't blame me, Bai Shu."
While Xiao Lingchen was speaking to Bai Shu in a gentle and refined manner, the Xiao family members behind him, who hurriedly got out of the car, were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
God—
Is this the eldest son?
This man, all smiles and coaxing the young girl with the air of a gentle, refined gentleman, is actually the same ruthless, cold-blooded, and sinister young master who just ordered the execution of a traitor, severing his meridians, crushing his bones, and throwing him into a wolf enclosure to feed the wolves?!
Is the young master crazy, or are they blind and deaf?!
While the subordinates were in a daze, the customers at the food stall were also watching all of this in a daze.
Who are these people, and how do they know that little girl who works part-time?
They had just seen the little girl accidentally spill wine on the car, and they thought the owner was going to yell at her, but now…
Xiao Lingchen spent a long time trying to comfort Bai Shu, finally managing to convince her. He was eager to get her into the car and take her to the hospital.
She had scraped her knee when she fell, and the bright red stain was glaringly obvious to Xiao Lingchen. A mixture of heartache and anger made his eyes turn a sinister red, and he wished he could dig up and crush the road where she had scraped her leg.
He knew his mindset was off; demonic energy was stirring within him, and darkness was brewing.
He's taking his anger out on others.
He blamed himself for arriving too late and failing to protect her, causing her to be hurt once again.
He couldn't accept even the smallest scratch!
