Wen Mo quickly looked at her hand, and the magnetic field around him cooled down.
He frowned and said with concern, "If you want to hit someone, just tell me. But you're not allowed to do it yourself next time."
When Wen Shiyu hit Li Yuan, she used all her strength.
After a while, her hand was still numb, but she didn't say anything. She smiled and reassured her husband and daughter, "It doesn't hurt."
Then he touched his daughter's face and said seriously, "No one can scold my baby."
Lin Xiaoxiao rubbed against her mother's hand, feeling a soft warmth in her heart.
It feels so good to be protected by my mom.
When his daughter was called a "bastard," Wen Mo felt a surge of anger with nowhere to vent it. He coldly glanced at Li Yuan and, in front of so many high-ranking people, said rudely, "Mouths are for eating and talking, not for spewing filth everywhere. If you really can't control yourself, then sew it up yourself, otherwise you won't even know how you got beaten up."
His words were quite impolite.
He said this to Li Yuan, a female comrade.
Li Yuan was only angry when Wen Shiyu slapped her, but she felt terrible after Wen Mo said that to her, and she looked at Wen Mo with a pale face.
Lin Wanwan had been observing from the side and noticed her mother-in-law's gaze, secretly drawing a conclusion in her mind.
Her mother-in-law... could she possibly like Lin Xiaoxiao's father?
Tsk.
Lin Wanwan felt contempt in her heart.
Li Yuan usually looked down on her for marrying into the Lu family through underhanded means, but who knew she was no better, coveting her brother-in-law and putting on such a pitiful and coquettish expression at her age. It was truly disgusting.
"Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, Little Sister, I apologize to you on behalf of my mother."
Lu Yunzhang hinted to Li Yuan several times to apologize, but Li Yuan acted as if she didn't see it, focusing all her attention on Wen Mo.
Having no other choice, Lu Yunzhang stepped forward personally.
Wen Mo and the other two didn't say anything, but they didn't press the matter further either, which was considered giving Lu Yunzhang face.
Lin Wanwan's eyes darted around, and she walked over to try and take Lin Xiaoxiao's arm, but Lin Xiaoxiao dodged her. She wasn't angry, but instead smiled and said, "Little sister, I never thought we would have such a connection. From now on, we're family."
Lin Xiaoxiao lazily raised her eyes, "Spit it out if you have something to say."
It would be strange if she came over at this time to try and get close to me; she must have ulterior motives.
Lin Wanwan inwardly cursed her for being rude, but kept a smile on her face. "Actually, what I wanted to say was, since we're all family now, let's put aside those past disagreements and not hold grudges, okay?"
Let's show weakness for now and find another opportunity to deal with this bastard later.
Want to climb over her? Dream on.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at her and said, "Can you hide the malice on your face when you talk? Your true colors are showing, and you're still pretending."
Lin Wanwan stiffened for a moment, then gave an awkward laugh, "My sister is so funny."
Lin Xiaoxiao approached her, her smile looking somewhat malicious. Lin Wanwan reflexively took a step back, but Lin Xiaoxiao grabbed her.
She moved closer and whispered, "Lin Wanwan, is Liu Guangyuan's knife any good?"
Lin Wanwan's face turned deathly pale instantly.
Her pupils contracted sharply, filled with terror and helplessness. Her lips parted slightly, her throat dry. "Sister, what...what are you saying? I...I don't understand?"
After he finished speaking, he saw Lin Xiaoxiao looking at him with a playful expression.
She bent her straight back, avoiding her gaze. "I broke up with Liu Guangyuan a long time ago. Did you hear something from someone else?"
"Yes." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded decisively.
"What did he say?" Lin Wanwan asked urgently, not even noticing that her nails were digging into her palms, her eyes fixed intently on Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao said slowly and deliberately, "He said he knows a secret about you, a huge secret, about you..."
"Alright." Lin Wanwan paused, her breathing slowing slightly, interrupting Lin Xiaoxiao.
The next second, she felt that she might have seemed too flustered, so she reorganized her thoughts and asked, "Who told you that? Would you mind telling me?"
Could it be that Lu Yunyi told others about her situation?
Lin Wanwan's eyes turned cold and somewhat sinister.
Lin Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "I was just kidding, I don't know anything."
His tone was as cheerful as a child who had just received candy.
This messed up Lin Wanwan's mental state.
"Are you crazy?" she growled almost incoherently, her whole body soaked in sweat, her face showing a hint of relief at surviving a close call.
Lin Xiaoxiao shrugged and spread her hands, "You chose to believe it yourself, so it's my fault."
“But…” She moved closer to Lin Wanwan, her expression turning wicked, “What secret are you hiding that makes you so scared? Can you tell me? Best friends are meant to share, right? You’ll definitely be willing, won’t you?”
Lin Wanwan rolled her eyes listlessly. "Get lost."
"Who are you telling to get lost?" Wen Shiyu walked over, took her daughter's hand, and looked at Lin Wanwan with displeasure.
Lin Wanwan forced a smile. "I'm leaving."
Then, dragging his tired body, he found a stool, sat down, and lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.
Just then, the police arrived, detained Lu Ze, and prepared to take him away. Once he left, Lu Ze would face imprisonment.
The expressions on everyone's faces were as complex as the vegetables and fruits in a salad, representing all sorts of different kinds.
"Who is Lin Wanwan?" The police officer in charge was Chu Wujin, whose face was indifferent as he scanned the surroundings.
Everyone thought the police were there to arrest Lu Ze, but they didn't expect that Lu Yunzhang's wife was also involved. People who were about to leave stopped and went back to their seats.
