Chapter 265 It's not an excuse, it's the truth.
Shi Nian let out a soft cry and covered her neck, but Lu Yanzhi still saw it.
As the scarf fell off, the gruesome wounds on her neck were revealed, extending all the way into her collar.
From Lu Yanzhi's angle, one can see that beneath her clothes are numerous wounds.
Huo Yanmo held her protectively in his arms, blocking Lu Yanzhi's view. His face was cold, his lips were tightly pressed together, and he snatched the silk scarf back from Lu Yanzhi's hand.
"Don't be afraid, Niannian, I'll tie it for you."
Huo Yanmo said softly, then carefully rearranged the silk scarf for her, covering up the scars.
Lu Yanzhi watched from the side, his anger vanishing, replaced by helplessness.
He had just realized that he was reading it wrong.
He just wanted to talk to her, but she seemed to... suddenly break down.
Today... he didn't do what he did at the apartment last time, nor did he force her.
He brought his men only to deal with Huo Yanmo.
He had no other plans.
"What is she doing...?" Lu Yanzhi couldn't help but ask.
Huo Yanmo didn't look at him, but said coldly, "I said, if you want her to die, keep provoking her!"
Lu Yanzhi looked at Huo Yanmo in disbelief.
But what he saw was the seriousness in Huo Yanmo's eyes, and the hatred he felt for him.
He suddenly remembered what Huo Yanmo had said when he visited the hospital last time.
Her illness became more serious, and there was more...
Lu Yanzhi's gaze fell on the silk scarf around Shi Nian's neck.
Huo Yanmo said she scrubbed these injuries herself vigorously, even breaking the skin in the process.
Previously, Huo Yanmo had only told him these things, and he didn't have a clear understanding of them. But now, when he saw Shi Nian's change and these scars, he realized... things weren't that simple.
She was really very ill.
It was many, many times more serious than he had imagined.
"Get out of the way!" Huo Yanmo shouted sharply, glaring at Lu Yanzhi and then glancing around at the people nearby.
The female bodyguard was very capable and was currently guarding the two of them.
They were eyeing those around them with predatory intent.
These people didn't move; they just looked at Lu Yanzhi.
Lu Yanzhi looked at Shi Nian.
Shi Nian didn't say anything, but turned her back to him and refused to look at him.
Huo Yanmo didn't stop again and escorted Shi Nian straight out.
As Huo Yanmo passed by Lu Yanzhi, his gaze shifted downwards, landing on Lu Yanzhi's leg.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, Huo Yanmo raised his foot and kicked Lu Yanzhi's injured leg.
Lu Yanzhi fell to the ground, clenching his teeth to resist the pain.
Huo Yanmo raised his foot again and kicked hard.
At that moment, Lu Yanzhi's men immediately came over to stop them.
Huo Yanmo ignored the passing crowd, holding Shi Nian's hand tightly as he protected her as they left.
Outside, Xiao Qing was pacing anxiously.
She had been waiting outside the changing room when a staff member told her that there were some things they needed to discuss, which would take a little while and were urgent.
But she had only been gone for a short while when the accident happened!
"Sister Shi Nian!" Xiao Qing said anxiously.
Shi Nian looked up and saw Xiao Qing's remorseful and guilty expression. She forced a smile and reached out to pat Xiao Qing's shoulder.
"I'm fine, I was just startled when I suddenly saw someone outside the changing room," Shi Nian said, offering a reassuring excuse.
After a slight pause, remembering that they were supposed to have dinner together today, she added, "I'm a little tired, so we can't have dinner together today. I have to go back first. Xiao Qing, what would you like to eat? I'll have someone take you there later. Or, you can just put anything on my tab."
Xiao Qing had completely forgotten about eating!
Many things have happened in the Fu family recently. Today, Fu Jinyan was handling matters at the old house. Fu Jinyan specifically told her about Shi Nian's situation and asked her to take good care of her. Huo Yanmo even gave her a large red envelope. Now...
Shi Nian saw through Xiao Qing's thoughts and comforted her, "Don't overthink it."
The one who's wrong isn't Xiao Qing, it's Lu Yanzhi.
After saying that, Shi Nian couldn't hold on any longer and left with Huo Yanmo.
Xiao Qing stayed where she was.
Huo Yanmo's men are still blocking the way, preventing Lu Yanzhi from leaving.
At that moment, Xiao Qing stormed into the changing room.
Lu Yanzhi had been helped back into his wheelchair, and the person next to him gave him a handkerchief to wipe away the cold sweat that had seeped out from the pain.
Xiao Qing quickened her pace.
"Smack!"
She raised her hand and slapped Lu Yanzhi across the face.
People around immediately gathered around. Xiao Qing's heart pounded like a drum, but she still stood stubbornly, meeting Lu Yanzhi's angry gaze defiantly.
She was just an ordinary working person.
Normally, they would not, and dare not, confront such important figures, especially since Lu Yanzhi is the president of the Lu Group.
The Lu family is the head of the three major tycoons in City A!
However, she is also a person with feelings and passion!
From the time she met Shi Nian on "The Voice of Heaven," Shi Nian has always been very good to her.
At first, she spoke well of Han Wei in front of Shi Nian without knowing the truth, and Shi Nian never held it against her. In fact, Shi Nian was easier to get along with than many other artists and treated her better than a regular assistant!
Gradually, she began to treat Shi Nian as a friend.
She knew that rushing in was impulsive, but she didn't regret it.
"Lu Yanzhi, you are shameless!" Xiao Qing shouted angrily.
"Do you know that Sister Shi Nian has been undergoing treatment recently because of what you did last time?!"
"Do you know that she had only just begun to recover and was barely able to return to work, and yet you still come here to provoke her!"
"She doesn't want you, so you deserve to be with President Huo!"
Xiao Qing cursed angrily.
She now thinks Han Wei and Lu Yanzhi are a perfect match.
It's best if the two of them stay locked up and don't come out to cause trouble!
Han Wei had better keep her dog on a leash and not let Lu Yanzhi bark wildly everywhere!
"You!" Lu Yan's anger surged.
"What's wrong with me?" Xiaoqing asked, mustering her courage. "What are you going to do to me?"
"You're the one who wanted to divorce Shi Nian, you're the one who forced Shi Nian's song to be sold to Han Wei, you're the one who fought with Shi Nian over tanzanite, you're the one who helped Han Wei bully Shi Nian on the show, and you're the one who forcibly abducted her!"
"Lu Yanzhi, in which of my words have I wronged you?"
"Open your eyes and look, she really... can't hold on much longer, please don't hurt her anymore."
Xiao Qing suppressed her surging emotions: "If this continues, she might really..."
Xiao Qing didn't say what would happen; she swallowed her words and turned to leave.
A group of people were blocking the door, and Xiao Qing glared at them.
"Let her go." Finally, Lu Yanzhi's voice came from behind.
The crowd then parted to make way, and Xiao Qing left under the escort of Huo Yanmo's men.
In the spacious waiting area of the locker room, Lu Yanzhi sat in a wheelchair.
What appeared before his eyes was Shi Nian's appearance just now, and Xiao Qing's words.
He knew what Xiao Qing meant by the unfinished sentence.
She might go insane, or even die.
Lu Yanzhi realized for the first time that this was not an excuse for Huo Yanmo to attack him.
It's true.
