Su Wan was stunned for a moment, feeling a sudden gust of cool wind, and did not dodge at all.
A sharp pain spread from my cheek, a burning pain.
Xu Ziyao's slap was loud and heavy, and it was obvious that she was ruthless. Within a few seconds, an extremely disproportionate slap mark appeared on Su Wan's beautiful pale face.
There was a sudden smell of rust at the corner of his mouth. Su Wan blinked, feeling a little overwhelmed.
Su Wan cried out in pain and subconsciously raised her slender hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her lips.
No one has ever hit her in the face since she was a child.
Those who had such intentions were stopped halfway, and this time, a real slap landed on Su Wan's face.
The person who slapped her in the face was Jiang Xuecheng's mother—Xu Ziyao.
Although this person is middle-aged, she is noble and graceful like a goddess.
It seemed as if time had frozen since Xu Ziyao slapped Su Wan. The air was incredibly stagnant and everyone was so frightened by the scene before them that they didn't even dare to breathe.
The people around watched them confront each other, and no one dared to speak before Su Wan and Xu Ziyao spoke.
Su Wan raised her long eyelashes and looked across at Xu Ziyao, who was wearing a green cheongsam. A hint of fatigue appeared in her bloodshot eyes.
Xu Ziyao also looked down at her, her cool eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, icy and bone-chilling.
No matter what time it is, Xu Ziyao is always dressed in cheongsam and has exquisite makeup, and this moment is no exception.
Time seems to be particularly kind to this beauty. Although Xu Ziyao is nearly fifty years old, her face is still pretty and delicate, and the nobility in her every move can instantly kill all the young girls.
"Xuecheng and you were just going on vacation, and you came back like this. How can you be a good wife? Did you force him to watch the Lyra meteor shower yesterday?"
Although it was a question, there was not a trace of doubt in the tone. Instead, it was full of affirmation. It even directly concluded that it was Su Wan who took the initiative to beg Jiang Xuecheng to go and see it, which was not inconsistent with the facts.
Su Wan pursed her lips, with a hint of bitterness in her expression. She didn't know why Jiang Xuecheng became like this after just watching a meteor shower.
"yes… "
It was just a simple word, but it carried with it a lot of sorrow.
Except for the first few seconds, Su Wan was caught off guard by Xu Ziyao's slap, but soon, Su Wan came to his senses.
Su Wan had already guessed from Xu Ziyao's attitude why Jiang Xuecheng was unwilling to go with her to watch the meteor shower at first. If she hadn't begged him so much, Jiang Xuecheng would definitely not go, right
But at that time she had no idea that Jiang Xuecheng would have such a reaction to the meteor shower!
And if Jiang Xuecheng said so, Su Wan would definitely give up.
From another perspective, Su Wan could actually understand Xu Ziyao's feelings as a mother at this moment.
His own son was lying in the ward with his life or death uncertain. The anxiety and worry he felt was no less than Su Wan's.
Sheng An Ning, who was standing by, saw Su Wan being slapped by Xu Ziyao, but she didn't get angry or cry. She just stood there quietly, feeling more and more unhappy.
Sheng An Ning looked at Su Wan arrogantly, her beautiful eyes full of disdain and a hint of resentment.
"Sister-in-law, when Brother Xuecheng was a child, he was seriously ill for half a month because he saw a meteor shower. How could you take care of him..."
Jiang Haoxuan saw Sheng Anning pointing at Su Wan with a sad and angry look on his face. Jiang Haoxuan's fingers trembled, and he suddenly felt that Sheng Anning's face was a little unfamiliar at this moment.
Jiang Haoxuan stepped forward and pulled Sheng Anning over, reprimanding in a low voice: "Sister-in-law didn't do it on purpose. Ignorance is not a crime. Why do you have to say that about her?"
Moreover, from Jiang Haoxuan's point of view, his mother had gone too far by slapping Su Wan today.
Now that his elder brother has been harmed by Su Wan like this, Jiang Haoxuan still protects this bitch!
Hearing Jiang Haoxuan's words, a hint of anger flashed across Sheng Anning's delicate face.
This is not the first time that Jiang Haoxuan has been so unfaithful. Could it be that he really has fallen in love with Su Wan, this bitch? !
Sheng Anning knew that Jiang Haoxuan liked the kind of woman who was gentle and kind. She did not refute Jiang Haoxuan, but just lowered her eyelashes, with a bit of grievance in her eyes.
"Haoxuan, I'm just too heartbroken. Brother Xuecheng is like this now, I'm scared..."
Just when the atmosphere was tense, Lin Feier, who had just gone out to buy lunch, pushed the door open and walked in with a bright smile on her lips.
"Ah Wan, I bought you your favorite millet pumpkin porridge. I know you don't have the appetite, but how can you take care of a patient if you don't even have enough to eat yourself..."
After returning from the island, Su Wan had not eaten a single grain of rice. Lin Feier was really afraid that Jiang Xuecheng would wake up, so Su Wan fell down first.
Lin Feier walked in, and before she could finish her words, she suddenly saw the stalemate in front of her.
Lin Feier glanced at Su Wan's right face which was branded with a bright red slap mark, as well as the bloodstain on his chin that had not been completely wiped off. Her dark eyes widened instantly.
Lin Feier looked at Su Wan with pain, and the pity in her eyes was not concealed: "Ah Wan, who dared to hit you? Does it hurt?"
She put down the bag of millet and pumpkin porridge in her hand and opened her arms to protect Su Wan.
"Who of you hit A-Wan? How dare you bully our A-Wan? Do you want to die?"
Lin Feier glanced at Xu Ziyao, who was wearing a cheongsam, and Sheng Anning, who was standing next to her with an arrogant look on her face, and almost immediately concluded that it was Sheng Anning, the white lotus, who had attacked Su Wan.
"Sheng An Ning, tell me the truth, is it you?"
Seeing Lin Fei'er protecting her so wholeheartedly, Su Wan felt a little bitter in her heart. She pulled Lin Fei'er's hand away and opened her mouth with difficulty.
"Fei'er, it's not her."
Sheng An Ning saw how Lin Fei'er had glared and yelled at her, as if she wanted to throw her out, and she suddenly felt a little envious of Su Wan for having such a friend.
Sheng An Ning was slightly stunned. What's the point of having such a lowly friend who can't even afford a luxury item
Why should she be envious? !
Sheng An Ning snorted coldly. She glanced at Su Wan and Lin Fei'er, her delicate face full of sarcasm.
"Birds of a feather flock together. Sister-in-law, your friend has a really bad temper..."
Hearing the ridicule implied in Sheng Anning's words, Su Wan frowned and her face instantly darkened.
It was like the sky that was about to rain, depressing yet extremely gloomy.
"Sheng An Ning, what do you mean by this?!"
Su Wan silently endured the slap Xu Ziyao gave her earlier. Firstly, it was because the other party was Jiang Xuecheng's mother and she couldn't fight back. Secondly, Su Wan felt guilty.
But Sheng Anning couldn't slander her friend.
Xu Ziyao glanced at Lin Feier indifferently, then fixed her beautiful eyes on Su Wan, her aura as cold as ice.
"I'm teaching my daughter-in-law a lesson, and everyone else should stay away."
