While exchanging pleasantries with Li Hannian, Cai Youliang stretched a hand behind his back and secretly gestured to Cai Xiaoxian, signaling her to quickly go upstairs.
Li Hannian had clearly come with ill intentions, and Cai Youliang was also worried about his daughter being at a disadvantage.
Cai Xiaoxian, who had just been grimacing in pain, no longer complained but tiptoed quietly toward the direction of the staircase.
Ignoring Cai Youliang, Li Hannian's gaze was fixed intently on Cai Xiaoxian.
"Stop!"
With just two words, he firmly pinned Cai Xiaoxian to the floor at the foot of the stairs; she didn't dare move even half a step.
Turning around, Li Hannian walked briskly toward the staircase.
As he approached, Cai Xiaoxian was so frightened that she stepped back twice and pressed her pale face against the wall.
Seeing that the situation was dire, Cai Youliang walked over with a smile.
