14 Chapter 14: I am an Actress (3)

Zhao Yan glanced at Zhao Manshi and then turned to look at Gu Chu, who was sobbing non-stop.

The five-year-old baby's red eyes were actually filled with unconcealable fear. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she did not dare to look at Zhao Manshi, her aunt. It was obvious that she was afraid of something. She stubbornly bit the corner of her pink lips and hugged Gu Manxi's neck tightly, as if she only felt safe in her mother's arms.

Zhao Yan's heart sank to the bottom.

He knew that Zhao Manshi had something to do with Chuchu's injury.

"Manxi, the family doctor hasn't come to work yet," Zhao Yan said. "Glass may be stuck in Chuchu's foot. I'll drive you to the nearby hospital."

Gu Manxi's fingers were shaking, her eyes were red, and her face was ashen. "Sorry to trouble you, Big Brother."

Zhao Yan brought Gu Manxi and her daughter and quickly drove to the nearby hospital.

Tang Chunxiu, who had heard the news, went upstairs and saw the mess in the room. Tang Chunxiu said rather disapprovingly, "Manshi, even if you can't stand this little bastard, there will be plenty of opportunities to teach her a lesson in the future. Manxi doesn't trust us very much right now. If you do this, she will be suspicious, and your brother and your father will be dissatisfied."

Obviously, Tang Chunxiu knew her daughter the best.

Zhao Manshi felt really wronged this time. She stomped her feet and said angrily, "Mom, it really was an accident this time. I picked her up, but I don't know why she... Ugh, I really can't explain it clearly!"

Zhao Manshi recalled the scene at that time. It seemed like she really picked up the child and dropped her to the ground. Coincidentally, the glass bottle had also fallen to the ground...

However, she really had no intention of harming the child. She would not go so far as to lay her hands on a child.

"Alright, I'll get someone to tidy up the room." Tang Chunxiu sighed. "When your sister comes back, apologize to her properly. You must be sincere."

Zhao Manshi nodded unwillingly. "Alright."

...

On the other side, Zhao Yan drove to the hospital.

Gu Chu's feet were really hurting. In order to let her innocent mother see the true colors of the Zhao family, she had made huge sacrifices.

"Mommy, Chuchu's feet hurt..." Gu Chu nestled in Gu Manxi's arms with tears in her eyes. The wounds on her feet were still bleeding. No one dared to stop the bleeding because they were worried that there were glass shards inside.

Drops of bright red blood pierced Gu Manxi's eyes. Gu Manxi's tears almost fell.

"Big Brother, please drive faster." Gu Manxi's voice was hoarse, and her fingers were trembling.

Zhao Yan drove in front and said calmly, "We'll be there in a few minutes." After a pause, Zhao Yan suddenly asked, "Chuchu, tell Uncle, did you really hurt yourself by accident?"

As Zhao Yan spoke, his eyes kept looking at the rearview mirror.

He saw Gu Chuchu's small body trembling, and tears appeared in her black eyes. She said with tears in her eyes, "It... it was Chuchu who hurt herself by accident. Sob... it has nothing to do with Auntie."

Gu Chu knew that her uncle was smarter and more observant.

Now, she, a weak five-year-old child, was a pitiful victim with secrets. Uncle, ask a few more questions! I can still keep going! 

In the original novel, Zhao Manshi was good at pretending to be weak and pitiful. Perhaps she was jealous that the female protagonist, Gu Manxi, was better looking than her, or perhaps there were other reasons. In short, Zhao Manshi had repeatedly framed Gu Manxi in the original novel.

Gu Manxi, the silly, sweet protagonist of the novel, had been harmed time and time again, yet she had not discovered her sister's hypocrisy and treated Zhao Manshi as her own sister.

"Chuchu, tell Uncle the truth. Don't be afraid." Zhao Yan gripped the steering wheel tightly and said in a low voice, "Uncle will take care of you."

Gu Manxi raised her head and frowned slightly. "Big Brother... What do you mean?"
