Lin Wanxing didn't react much to these things, but instead focused entirely on eating. He happily ate the apple pie, which burst with juice as soon as he took a bite.
The rich aroma of the fruit and its crispy texture made it impossible for Lin Wanxing to stop eating.
Shen Huai'an stared at his slightly moist lips, his grip on the glass tightening.
The silly boy always manages to stir people's hearts without them even realizing it.
Lin Wanxing suddenly looked at Shen Huai'an, "Second brother, this apple pie is really delicious."
Watching him eat heartily, Shen Huai'an suddenly said, "The old house just called; Xiao Ting was taken to the hospital last night."
"ah?"
Lin Wanxing was quite surprised. He tried to swallow the last bite of apple pie, and patted his chest. He felt like he had choked because he had eaten too quickly.
He quickly picked up the milk on the table and drank it in small sips, which gradually made him feel much better.
"How did she get hurt?"
Is it serious?
Lin Wanxing put down his milk cup and immediately asked Shen Zhiting about her injury. He was still as silly as ever, not holding a grudge. In just one night, he had forgotten all the bad things Shen Zhiting had done to him.
I really don't know if he's stupid or just carefree.
Shen Huai'an said, "I heard from the housekeeper of the old house that Shen Zhiting accidentally tripped and fell while walking, and was subsequently taken to the hospital."
Lin Wanxing nodded. How could Shen Zhiting have fallen like that and ended up in the hospital?
It sounds like a serious matter, and Shen Zhiting deserves what she got for her crime.
Thinking back to what he witnessed while hiding by the lake, he still finds Shen Zhiting to be a terrifying person.
She was such a dignified and composed girl in front of her second brother and others, but in the blink of an eye, she seemed to have become a different person, so terrifying and vicious, even picking up a stone and smashing Shen Wen into serious injury without hesitation.
She remained composed even in front of a crowd, pretending to know nothing.
She was absolutely terrifying. No one would have imagined that such a delicate girl would do something so outrageous.
The things she had said to herself in the Cloud Sea Hall left Lin Wanxing feeling confused.
"Second brother, what do you think of Xiaoting?"
Shen Huai'an took in Lin Wanxing's little expression just now. He pushed up his glasses and looked at Lin Wanxing seriously, saying, "Although she is a bit spoiled, her character is not too bad. I have already punished her for what happened last time."
"Star, don't take it to heart."
Shen Huai'an knew Shen Zhiting's character all too well. This time, Shen Wen's matter was definitely related to her, but Shen Huai'an was too lazy to care about those things.
But Xingxing asked this question, and he knew that something else must have happened in Yunhai Hall that day.
In the hospital, in the Yunhai Hall, and in the fear that Xingxing showed towards Shen Zhiting, it all told her that Shen Wen's injury was caused by Shen Zhiting.
The so-called "meeting gift" was just a reason Shen Zhiting made up; her real purpose was definitely to talk to Xingxing alone.
Something else must have happened between the two of them in the Yunhai Hall. Shen Huai'an looked at the person opposite him. This silly guy must know something, which is why Shen Zhiting was so eager to meet him alone.
Shen Huai'an was surprised that she actually gave that antique painting as a gift. Shen Zhiting didn't seem to be unaware of its value, and besides, it was something that Shen Taimin cherished, so how could she not know it?
Shen Huai'an couldn't understand any of this. Shen Zhiting not only obediently gave the gift, but also didn't resist and admitted her mistake. This was not like Shen Zhiting's personality at all.
Hearing that Shen Zhiting was injured, Lin Wanxing became worried again. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Second brother, I won't take those things to heart."
"Xiaoting is in the hospital, second brother, should we go see her?"
Shen Huai'an had to go see her, after all, she was a junior member of the family, but he didn't expect that Xingxing would be the one to ask him this question.
As expected, he doesn't hold grudges. Shen Huai'an thought he was a bit silly: "She treated you like that, and you still want to go see her?"
Lin Wanxing smiled and said generously, "It's okay. She's a junior and doesn't know any better. Why would I hold a grudge against her?"
According to seniority, Lin Wanxing was her elder. Although he was younger, he was still her elder. Lin Wanxing liked this feeling of being an elder and felt inexplicably proud.
Thinking about how young he is, even younger than Shen Zhiting, yet he is an elder to many people, he feels quite good about being an elder. Many people are very polite to him, except for Shen Zhiting.
It really satisfied his vanity in a small way.
"It seems that Xingxing is a very tolerant elder. Let's go see Xiaoting together later."
Lin Wanxing nodded excitedly. He really wanted to know how badly Shen Zhiting was injured, where she was hurt, and how serious it was.
He was a little curious about how Shen Zhiting managed to fall into the hospital. Did she always walk with her head down?
After the meal, Shen Huai'an took him to the hospital.
Shen Taimin and other members of the Shen family were in the ward. Shen Huai'an and Lin Wanxing were the last to arrive.
Shen Zhiting broke her leg and is lying in bed with a cast on. Her face and chin are also injured, with red marks.
It seems the injury was quite serious. When Shen Taimin saw Shen Huai'an coming over, he only exchanged a few polite but indifferent words.
"How did she fall like this?" Lin Wanxing asked Shen Taimin in a low voice.
Shen Taimin closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache. "I heard from the servants that when she was going to the ancestral hall last night, she suddenly stepped on something, slipped, and fell down the pavilion stairs of the old house."
Shen Taimin felt uncomfortable whenever he saw Lin Wanxing. The thought of his treasured antique painting being given to the idiot in front of him by Shen Zhiting made him furious.
He had treasured it for many years, only to have someone in his family give it away so easily. Did this fool know how to appreciate art? Did he know what it meant for a masterpiece to become extinct?
If Shen Zhiting weren't injured, Shen Taimin would have beaten her to death for taking his own things as gifts. It's getting more and more outrageous.
When Shen Taimin heard about this, he originally planned to ask the second son to return the painting, but he was stopped by the old lady, so he had no choice but to give the painting to Lin Wanxing.
Shen Zhiting couldn't move her legs, and her mouth was swollen from the fall. Her upper lip was so swollen it was quite frightening. She became agitated when she saw Lin Wanxing in the ward, and could only make indistinct whimpering sounds.
She wanted to tell her father that Lin Wanxing was the one who caused her to become like this, but she just couldn't bring herself to say it.
Shen Huai'an frankly admitted, "She went to the ancestral hall because she did something wrong, and I want to punish her."
