Xiao Yaling retracted her hand and sat back down angrily.
âWanwanâ¦â Li Muyang called out affectionately. He wanted to break free from his fatherâs grip and go to Lin Wanâs side, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldnât break free.
âMuyang, if you dare to protect this b*tch today, 1 wonât acknowledge you as my son.â Xiao Yaling was in a particularly good mood today. At this moment, she also showed her might and said seriously to her son.
âMom, youâ¦â Li Muyang looked at his mother. He had never seen his mother so angry, let alone say such harsh words. But todayâ¦
âAlright,â Xiao Shengdong said. Seeing that his grandson had calmed down, he told Lin Wan, âStay in Blue Bay Villa for the next few days. You donât have to go to work. Donât go anywhere and wait for Yichen to come back.â
Lin Wan did not answer the old man because she was already exhausted. Her throat hurt so much that she could not say a word.
Xiao Shengdong did not hear Lin Wanâs reply for a long time. He did not intend to listen anymore and said, âYou can go back now.â
When Lin Wan heard the old manâs words, she took a few deep breaths. Her hands moved slowly as she tidied her clothes and her messy hair.
Only then did Xiao Shengdong and Ning Yan see the blood on Lin Wanâs face.
âYouâ¦â Ning Yan suddenly felt nervous. Lin Wan was injured.
However, Ning Yan didnât voice out her concern.
Lin Wan placed her hands on the ground and tried to stand up a few times but could not exert strength.
Li Muyang was so anxious that he wanted to go over and help Lin Wan up, but his father was holding him back, and he couldnât go over.
A nanny at the kitchen door finally could not stand it anymore. She risked angering her master and hurriedly ran over to help her stand up.
âYoung Madam, let me help you up,â the nanny said.
Lin Wan wanted to smile back at the nanny but could not bring herself to do so. After trying for a long time, she finally said one word, âThank youâ¦â
She couldnât even say two words.
The nanny finally couldnât help but sob when she saw Young Madamâs situation.
The nanny supported Lin Wan and walked towards the entrance of the mansion.
Ning Yan looked at Lin Wanâs shaky back and felt a little worried. She asked the old man beside her, âArenât we going a little overboard today?â
âIsnât it enough that she embarrassed the Xiao family?â Xiao Shengdong was still angry, so he followed up with a question.
âThatâs right. She asked for it,â Xiao Yaling said arrogantly.
The nanny helped Lin Wan leave the villa and walked towards the gate.
Only then did Lin Wan feel a little more energetic. She said with difficulty and asked the nanny beside her, âWhatâs your name?â
âYoung Madam, my name is Xiaoyan,â the nanny, Xiaoyan, hurriedly replied.
Lin Wan nodded. Then, she said with difficulty, âThank⦠thank youâ¦â
âThereâs no need, Young Madam.â Xiao Yan quickly shook her head and looked at Young Madamâs face with pity. She said, âYoung Madam, hurry up and go to the hospital to take a look at your injuries. Donât leave any scars. You have such a beautiful face. If you leave itâ¦â
Xiao Yan could not say anything else. The tears that she had held back just now fell again.
âOkay,â Lin Wan replied. She forced a smile as an answer to Xiaoyanâs concern.
When they reached the gate, Lin Wan stopped and said to Xiao Yan, âYou, you can go backâ¦â
