The raised wrist was firmly gripped, causing the old lady's face to contort in pain. Her nails dug deep into the old lady's wrist, and Xingkong looked aggrieved. "Grandma, I...I won't do it again next time."
The hand that was digging into her wrist showed no signs of letting go. "Who is your grandma? You are an adopted daughter, and it is our Shen family that feeds you!"
Xingkong's face fell. "Just because I'm an adopted daughter, does that mean you have to hate me so much, grandma? Although I didn't do a good job for my sister, you can't just blame me without distinguishing right from wrong. I have always treated you as my own grandma, and I am really sad that you treat me this way." Xingkong put away the fierce look she had just given Shen Xinai, and looked very aggrieved. Even tears welled up in her bright eyes. She let go of the old lady's wrist.
The old lady had wanted to scold her loudly, but when she saw Xingkong's aggrieved expression, she couldn't say anything.
Shen Xinai bit her lip. That expression again! Xingkong...what is going on with her? This was the second time she had seen Xingkong switch between two expressions in a second! From fierce to innocent, it was just a blink of an eye. Was she still the weak and incompetent Xingkong from before?
"Grandpa...do you also think I was wrong? At that time, I was scared and my mind went blank. I forgot everything except to call for help. I didn't even know there were reporters outside. Grandpa...if you also think I was wrong, then I will apologize to my sister by kneeling down." Tears streamed down Xingkong's face as she tried to get out of bed, enduring the pain.
The old man was shocked by the bandage on her leg. "Xingkong, your leg is injured..."
"Ah, it hurts so much!" Xingkong screamed suddenly before she could finish her sentence.
"What are you doing, Xinai?" The old man yelled as he saw Shen Xinai suddenly pressing on the wound of Shen Xingkong.
Shen Xinai was stunned for a moment, wanting to stand up from Shen Xingkong's body, but found that her wrist was being held by someone.
She looked up at Shen Xingkong.
Scared by the sinister look that flashed in her eyes, she struggled subconsciously. She didn't know why the more she struggled, the stronger the force pressing on Shen Xingkong became.
Soon, the white gauze was torn apart, and the blood from the wound seeped through.
A large patch of red.
"Sister...you...you...you are really cruel." Shen Xingkong pushed Shen Xinai hard, and retreated like a frightened bird, curling up in the corner, watching everyone warily.
The old man was heartbroken and scolded Shen Xinai, "Have you had enough trouble?"
"Grandpa, I...I didn't...it was her...she grabbed me and deliberately made me press on her wound. Grandpa, she framed me!"
"Framed? Ask your grandmother if she didn't see you pounce on him with her own eyes?"
The old lady's mouth twitched, and she wanted to say she didn't see it, but she couldn't bring herself to lie.
Shen Xinai, "...", when did Shen Xingkong become so cunning!
Just now, she threatened her with a knife to make her kneel, and forced her to reveal all her plans.
Now she's pretending to be innocent...
A scheming woman.
"Sister, I know that what happened at the hotel during the day was not intentional, and even when you had a knife just now...I can pretend it didn't happen. Can you please not kill me? I will definitely listen to you obediently in the future, and next time...next time I will definitely handle things well. I will make Fourth prince agree to the engagement with you!"
"Shut up!" Shen Xinai shouted angrily.
Shen Xingkong trembled and dared not speak again.
Shen Xinai looked at Shen Xingkong suspiciously. She was really different now...
"Xingkong, don't be afraid. With grandpa here, no one will hurt you again," Grandpa sighed.
"Grandpa!" Shen Xinai complained dissatisfiedly, "Grandpa, it's all her acting!"
"Acting? She almost killed herself with her acting?" Grandpa glared at Shen Xinai dissatisfiedly. "You just tried to stab her with a knife, and I saw it with my own eyes. The knife is still in her body. What else do you have to say? Do I have to call the police before you're satisfied?"
His granddaughter was good in every way, except for her jealousy!
One day, she would harm herself and the Shen family.
How did Dong Ru zhu educate her?
"Dad, this is just a small conflict between two children. It's not serious enough to call the police," Dong Ru zhu explained, sensing Grandpa's dissatisfaction.
But in her heart, she cursed: If the old man wasn't still useful, he would have been killed long ago!
She didn't know what kind of aphrodisiac Shen Xingkong gave him. He always favored her!
"That's right! Old man, why are you so biased? Self-directed and acted? Obviously, Shen Xingkong wanted to seduce Huo Siye and deliberately framed us. She's shameless!" The old lady glared fiercely at Shen Xingkong, her outstretched fingers almost poking her face.
"Dad, I'm not biased. Think about it, since it was Bai Ning who invited Xinai to fourth prince room, how could Xinai have done that with Qi Heng...with him in Fourth prince room? Of course, I'm not saying that Xingkong did anything, but this whole thing doesn't make sense," Dong Ru zhu said.
"Yes! Grandpa, I'm not that kind of person. How could I do such a thing? Grandpa, my sister must have overheard my mother and aunt talking about setting me up with Brother Siye, and she was jealous for a moment," Shen Xinai said tearfully and grievously. "She deliberately put the knife in my hand just now. I didn't do anything. She framed me!"
"Do you really think that our daughter, raised in our family, would be so shameless?" the old lady said, sneering.
Shen Xingkong lowered her head and laughed coldly.
In the previous life, she had followed Shen Xinai's plan and succeeded, but Shen Xinai still didn't let her go. Although she was overjoyed in her heart, she had to pretend to be a victim and repeatedly imply to the reporters that she had sent her to Huo Siye's bed and caused her to lose her virginity.
"Grandpa! Please don't be fooled by her. She's just jealous and unhappy. Grandpa, just because I wasn't born by your side, you don't believe me? It wasn't my fault when I was mistakenly held by someone else back then."
"That's right, old man. Our Shen family is all innocent and wouldn't do such a despicable thing," the old lady said fiercely, glaring at Xingkong.
Shen family? Xingkong sneered inwardly. Did they really think that the Shen family had a throne to inherit and were so noble?
One day, she would show the world how dirty the Shen family was.
"I only believe what I see with my own eyes! Xinai, grandpa loves you, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.
Murder is a crime!"
