Chapter 842 Ulterior Motives
Chapter 842 Ulterior Motives
Lin Zhiyi and Liu He had good intentions, but when they entered the banquet hall they found that the child was missing.
The two men hurried forward.
Liu He asked anxiously: "Where is the child?"
Gong Shiyan explained: "When there were too many people around, Xiaobao started crying, so I asked Auntie to take him to bed and coax him to sleep."
Gong Chen also said: "It's in the corridor next to it."
There was a glass door over there, and I could see everything clearly as the aunt walked back and forth holding the child.
Lin Zhiyi comforted her, "Mom, there are so many guests. You go ahead and do your work. I'll help you keep an eye on them."
Liu He then felt relieved and accompanied Gong Shiyan to greet the guests.
Lin Zhiyi stared outside the glass door.
The aunt gently patted the child in her arms, her whole body bathed in the sunshine.
Looks particularly kind.
Lin Zhiyi was so engrossed in watching that he suddenly felt as if someone was staring at him.
She thought it was Gong Chen, but when she looked sideways she found only Yang Jingwei was standing in that direction.
It was just that Yang Jingwei was talking to Bai Ruoshu beside her, and they both laughed.
There seems to be something happy.
Lin Zhiyi frowned subconsciously and wanted to call Gong Chen.
I turned around and found that Gong Chen had already walked away.
She looked at Yang Jingwei again. The mother and daughter followed Gong Yao to another place.
Could it be that she was overthinking?
But she still felt vaguely uneasy.
Just in case, she decided to look after the child herself.
When I turned and walked towards the corridor outside, I just saw the old lady slowly opening the glass door.
She walked slowly and looked non-aggressive.
Lin Zhiyi followed.
The old lady stopped beside the child, looked down at the child and smiled.
"That's great. This child is blessed."
When Lin Zhiyi heard this, she didn't go forward to disturb him.
People of this age can't help but tease children when they see them.
The old lady reached out to touch the child.
The aunt is still frightened after what happened just now.
Immediately dodged.
"I'm sorry, old lady, the child just fell asleep and it's easy to wake up."
"It's okay, I just came here to get some good luck."
The old lady was dressed in a manner that showed either wealth or nobility, so my aunt didn't dare to offend her.
But she still didn't agree.
"This child is prone to spitting up milk. Old Madam, your clothes look very precious. Don't get them dirty."
Usually when you hear these statements, you should understand that they mean rejection.
This old lady is of extraordinary status, it is impossible for her not to understand.
But she seemed not to hear and grabbed the child's arm.
The child suddenly woke up from the pain and started crying loudly.
Lin Zhiyi immediately stepped forward and grabbed the old lady's arm: "Old lady, please let go."
The old lady didn't even look at Lin Zhiyi, but stared at the child.
Lin Zhiyi could vaguely feel the old lady exerting force.
Then she saw the child's arm being twisted hard by the old lady again.
The child cried louder and louder, but because the glass was soundproof, the people inside didn't hear it.
The aunt was so scared that she tried to pull the child's hand, but she was worried about breaking it.
"Let go quickly, the child won't be able to bear it."
The old lady became even more excited when she heard this.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiyi lowered his head and bit her wrist hard.
"what!"
The old lady screamed and let go of the child.
The aunt quickly took the child and hid aside.
Lin Zhiyi directly pushed the old lady away.
The old lady bumped into the glass door, alarming everyone in the banquet hall.
Gong Chen and his group ran out immediately.
"what happened?"
Lin Zhiyi was about to speak, but unexpectedly the old lady covered her arm and started crying first.
"Ms. Lin is crazy. I just came to see the child, but she actually bit me. I can't afford to marry into this family."
As she spoke, she showed her wrist, which had deep teeth marks on it.
Lin Zhiyi retorted: "You attacked a child. If you don't believe me, you can ask Auntie."
The aunt nodded repeatedly: "It was the old lady who suddenly twisted the child's arm, and Miss Lin had no choice but to bite her."
The old woman sneered and said, "You are a family, you should help each other. Isn't the child fine? But I was bitten and pushed down again. I am so old."
"I do not have."
Auntie shook her head repeatedly.
When Liu He heard someone attacking the child, she immediately called Li Huan to check.
Li Huan took a look and said it was okay.
But the child's arm was indeed a little red.
Liu He said angrily: "The child's arm is red, how can you explain it?"
The old lady explained: "I was bitten by your daughter. I was startled at the time and may have used a little force. It's not my fault."
"you……"
Before Liu He could refute, Yang Jingwei stood up.
"Second Madam, we all know that you treasure your hard-earned son, but isn't it not good for you to make malicious assumptions about others like this?"
"..."
Liu He was speechless.
It’s a pity that there is no surveillance on this balcony.
Lin Zhiyi protected Liu He and said, "Mrs. Bai, have you seen what happened?"
"No."
"Since you didn't know anything and you didn't ask us, why do you make such a rash conclusion? Do you know something?" Lin Zhiyi asked back.
Yang Jingwei frowned: "What's wrong? Are you not allowed to talk now?"
Lin Zhiyi: "Can you just say that casually?"
Yang Jingwei said unhappily: "Then do you have evidence to prove that this old lady intended to harm the child?"
"..."
Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips.
Both she and her aunt have been denied, what else can they say?
At this time, Gong Chen came over.
"Why can't you prove it?"
"Third Master, can you prove it?" Yang Jingwei asked in surprise.
The old lady also smiled coldly: "Third Master, I can understand that you are doing this for your family, but I also said that I accidentally used my strength. I can apologize, but it was not intentional."
Gong Chen walked up to her and glanced at her coldly.
When I raised my hand, Chen Jin handed me the pad.
Gong Chen said: "After your grandson was born, due to the nanny's negligence, his forearm was broken and amputated. It happened to be the arm you pinched the child with."
When she heard the name of her grandson, the old lady's expression changed.
"Even if my grandson is unfortunate, it doesn't mean I will hurt other people's children, right?"
"After your grandson got into trouble, you prayed to the gods and Buddha, and were cheated of a lot of money by a charlatan. I think someone should know about this, right?"
Sure enough, someone in the crowd nodded.
The old lady was a little anxious: "What does this mean?"
Gong Chen slid the tablet and continued, "What a coincidence! My second brother's child and your grandson were born on the same day. You must have heard something, right? That's why you came here to plot against a child."
"You...you're talking nonsense. I didn't."
"I believe you had no bad intentions when you first came to the party, so I'm curious about what made you want to do something in the middle of it."
Gong Chen's voice was so cold that the people around him couldn't help but hold their breath.
The old lady looked at him, and her aura gradually disappeared.
Finally, he whispered, "I really don't."
"Do you know why I am so sure that you didn't do it on purpose? Because the birth date of the child is kept secret. How did you know? Someone must have told you at the party, right?"
Gong Chen gradually approached the old lady.
The old lady's body, which had just managed to stand steady, began to shake again under his gaze.
