Chapter 13 : Coco's Scars
- Lynn Xi frowned in annoyance, "What's wrong? Miss Niki seems to be very concerned about other people's children, huh? On her first day at work, Miss Niki made everyone in the recording studio wait for you. What a big favor she's asking for, Miss Niki!"
- In that split second when Coco raised her hand, Luo Jinyi noticed a bruise the size of a bowl bottom under her armpit. The bruise had a tinge of purple, making it quite horrifying to look at.
- "Coco, lift your hand up." Luo Jinyi bent down and squatted in front of Coco.
- But Coco glanced at Lynn Xi, pouted, and refused to speak. Her eyes were already filled with tears.
- Lynn Xi's heart tightened involuntarily. Did she notice?
- "What are you trying to do?" Lynn Xi pulled Coco over, her actions rough, causing Coco to cry out in pain.
- "What are you doing? Can't you see the injury on the child's body?" Luo Jinyi became angry all of a sudden and pushed Lynn Xi away, carefully lifting Coco's arm.
- Underneath the tender and fair little arm, from the armpit to the side of the chest, a dark bruise was clearly visible, with various nail marks around it!
- Lynn Xi's gaze widened in shock, and she unconsciously clenched her fist.
- Meanwhile, Coco turned her head away, her face filled with fear.
- Luo Jinyi felt a surge of heartache. Before she could question Lynn Xi, a cold male voice interrupted them.
- "What's all the noise about?"
- Luo Jinyi turned around and saw Lu Zhihuai walking towards them. His pupils contracted.
- With his sharp eyes, Lu Zhihuai immediately noticed Coco's scars and became tense, quickening his pace.
- "What's going on here?" Lu Zhihuai's voice was filled with anger as he coldly looked at Luo Jinyi.
- "Shouldn't you ask Miss Lin about this, Mr. Lu? This injury has been there for a while. Can it appear overnight after staying at my place?" Lynn Xi's gaze fell on Lu Zhihuai, making her feel uneasy.
- After a while, Lynn Xi pretended to look surprised and quickly walked to Coco's side, grabbing her arm. "Coco! Why didn't you tell Enxi sister earlier when you got injured? Who bullied you?"
- Coco frowned in pain and, seeing Lynn Xi's gloomy eyes, immediately stuttered, "Daddy, it wasn't Enxi sister. It was... it was when Coco was fighting with other kids at kindergarten."
- "Really?"
- Lu Zhihuai's gaze became mysterious, and he started to have doubts.
- "How can a child lie? Come on, Coco, Enxi sister will take you to apply some medicine. You're such a silly girl. Why didn't you tell sister when you got hurt so badly?" Without waiting for Lu Zhihuai's response, Lynn Xi picked up Coco and walked towards the rest area.
- Luo Jinyi clenched her fists. Her precious daughter, who she held in her hands for fear of dropping or melting, had suffered abuse in Lu Zhihuai's presence! But she was powerless, and she didn't even have a legitimate identity!
- Clearly, Lu Zhihuai was also annoyed by this matter. He glanced at Luo Jinyi and said coldly, "Miss Niki, sorry for the disturbance. Please go back to work."
- Although Luo Jinyi was still worried, she had no choice but to give up.
- Lu Zhihuai turned around and returned to his office. Just as he sat down, his assistant knocked on the door and entered.
- "The website crashed. Have you found out anything?"
- The assistant wiped off the cold sweat and said, "Not yet. The other party seems to be a computer expert. The encryption of the IP address is impossible to crack..."
- Lu Zhihuai furrowed his brows in frustration and slammed the documents in his hand on the table.
- ...
- After work, Luo Jinyi immediately went home. By the time Moore returned, Luo Jinyi had already prepared the food and was about to start eating when the doorbell rang again.
