When Jiang Zhao returned to the Fu family with a slap mark on her face, the gardener, driver and others she met along the way all looked at her in surprise. After she walked past quickly with her head lowered, a loud discussion broke out behind her.

"This! Miss Zhou's injury..."

"Did someone from the Zhou family beat him?"

"Who else but the Zhou family would beat her? No matter how unpopular she is, she is still a member of the Zhou family. Beating her would be a slap in the face of the Zhou family, right?"

"Pitiful……"

"But the young master obviously likes Miss Nan Qiao. Miss Zhou Wan should be very lucky to get the master's approval. Look at the young master, he has to marry her even if he doesn't want to. And Miss Nan Qiao, who likes the young master, has no choice but to give in. Miss Zhou Wan has everything, such as the status of the Zhou family and the master's favor. How can she be pitiful?"

"..."

She couldn't hear the discussions behind her, but Jiang Zhao knew that before long, everyone in the Fu family would know that she had been slapped.

Thinking of Fu Liunian's miserable condition in the book, Jiang Zhao finally felt better.

After entering the main building, there was no one in the living room. She tiptoed upstairs to her room.

That’s right, Zhou Wan has her own room in the Fu family.

Old Master Fu saw that she was unhappy staying in the Zhou family, and that the Zhou family members all favored the fake daughter. He was so angry that he brought Zhou Wan to the Fu family on the pretext of letting her get acquainted with the Fu family members as soon as possible.

Old Master Fu thought that he had made the right move. Zhou Wan followed him to the Fu family, and with him protecting her, things would definitely be better for her.

only……

Things didn't go as he expected.

Fu Liunian hated her and despised her. From the moment she entered the Fu family, he never set foot in the old house of the Fu family except once a month when the Fu family gathered for the reunion dinner.

In the eyes of those who are interested, his behavior is that he was forced by Zhou Wan to stay away from home. Fu's mother, who loves her son very much, is heartbroken, but she can't blame the old man, nor can she blame Fu Liunian who is angry and "wronged", so she can only blame Zhou Wan.

Every time she saw Zhou Wan, she didn't curse at her, but just ignored her, or looked at her with a sarcastic and appraising look.

It is a cold violence that kills people invisibly.

This is a psychological battle. If a person has strong psychological endurance, he will naturally not be affected.

But Zhou Wan is not that kind of person...

She is a beggar with nothing, craving for a little bit of sincerity from others.

"Wanwan!"

Before Jiang Zhao reached the second floor, she paused when she heard the old man's majestic voice from downstairs.

Seeing that she didn't turn around, the old man thought she was crying because she was sad and embarrassed to let him see her miserable state. "You kid, you didn't even tell me you came back. Have you not eaten yet? Come down and eat with grandpa."

Jiang Zhao thought in his heart that what was mentioned in the book seemed to be that the old man heard the sound of Zhou Wan being injured from the servant's mouth, and then went to call her for questioning.

But something doesn’t seem right.

She had just walked into the main building, and the servants outside couldn't be discovered so quickly.

And judging from the old man's tone, he didn't seem to realize that he was being beaten.

Should she take the opportunity to let the old man find out?

Was the old man angrier after hearing the servants' discussions or after seeing it with his own eyes?

While she was hesitating, Mr. Fu continued to call her, "Wanwan, what are you doing standing there? Come down quickly."

Zhou Wan felt that it seemed more shocking that the old man saw the injuries on her face with his own eyes without being prepared.

Moreover, she was discovered by the old man accidentally. She did not go in front of the old man on purpose to act pitiful, so it definitely did not ruin her character.

Jiang Zhao buried his head in his chest and slowly turned around.

The butler who was pushing Mr. Fu's wheelchair was stunned when he saw the clear slap mark on Jiang Zhao's face.

The old man's eyesight was not very good, so he could not see clearly, but he could vaguely see the injuries on her face.

His face immediately darkened, "Wanwan, what happened? Who hit you?"

Your grandson!

Jiang Zhao couldn’t say.

I just walked down slowly, step by step, trying to let the old man's anger brew a little more.

The housekeeper saw that half of her face was swollen and said distressedly, "We can't delay this. Wanwan, this little girl, didn't know to see a doctor when she was injured, and she quietly hid in her room. This is too wrong. I'll go call Doctor Tan over now."

Jiang Zhao hurriedly stopped him, "Mr. Fang, no need, I have blood stasis dissolving medicine in my room, I'll just apply it when I get back."

A person with such important say naturally had to stay and listen to the "secret".

Mr. Fu continued to ask her, "Wanwan, tell me who hit you. Don't be afraid. I will take care of it for you."

Jiang Zhao lowered his head and said nothing.

The more Zhou Wan remained silent, the more anxious Mr. Fu became. "Was it that kid Zhou Boshu who did it?"

Mr. Fu cursed, "I think he is going backwards as he gets older!"

He knocked the floor with the cane in his hand and seemed very angry.

"Is it because of that fake daughter again?!"

Zhou Wan quickly shook her head, "Grandpa, no."

"No?" Old Master Fu stared at Zhou Wan with a sharp gaze, "Not your parents?"

Jiang Zhao shook his head.

Mr. Fu seemed to be judging whether she was lying.

After a while, his eyes darkened instantly. Even the old butler beside him fell silent because he noticed that the atmosphere was not right.

"Call Fu Liunian back!" he ordered the butler with a grim face.

Although he did not ask Jiang Zhao, after confirming that Zhou Wan was not beaten by the Zhou family, Mr. Fu confirmed that it was Fu Liunian who beat her.

Jiang Zhao ran over in shock and supported the old man, saying anxiously, "Grandpa, this has nothing to do with Liunian... It's not..."

"Stop talking." The old man sighed, "It's our Fu family's fault for not being able to raise this ungrateful person!"

The living room suddenly became busy.

Mr. and Mrs. Fu didn't know when Jiang Zhao showed up, but because Jiang Zhao was always standing next to the old man, Mrs. Fu, who loved her son so much, couldn't glare at her.

Because the old man was present, she was so angry that she couldn't vent her anger on Jiang Zhao.

hospital.

Ever since Jiang Zhao left, the atmosphere in the ward has become a little strange.

The strange atmosphere finally dissipated until Zhou Nanqiao slowly woke up under the doctor's care.

When Zhou Nanqiao woke up and didn't see Jiang Zhao, he hesitated and asked his father and mother, "Mom and Dad, my sister..."

Zhou Ci, "She's gone, don't worry about her."

Zhou Ci, "Today is my sister's engagement party, after all, I..."

Fu Liunian looked unhappy, "That's enough, don't mention this."

Seeing the bad expression on his face, Zhou Nanqiao shut up.

Ignoring Zhou Wan, the few people just talked about some light topics.

Seeing that Zhou Nanqiao was extremely sleepy but was holding on to sleep, Zhou Ci gritted his teeth and comforted her, "I think I have a lot of free time in Liunian, so I can stay here with you more."

He looked at Fu Liunian, "Is that so?"

Zhou Nanqiao was obviously afraid that Fu Liunian would leave halfway, so he didn't dare to sleep.

Fu Liunian glanced at her and said, "Go to sleep."
