Such a scalding soup, if spilled directly onto the skin, is bound to cause severe burns...
Without any hesitation, Xia Wan’an quickly moved the girl to the side.
Because the situation was so urgent, her move was forceful. Wearing high heels, she lost her balance and both she and the girl fell to the ground. Her back, which suffered the impact, hit the corner of the table and the pain caused her to shudder sharply.
The sudden incident startled the people around and a crowd gathered.
The banquet hall was not that big and very quickly, they beca the center of attention, with more and more people flocking around, including Jingnian Han and Zhang Te.
Seeing Xia Wan’an sitting on the floor in pain, unable to recover, the girl next to her crying like a pear blossom bathed in rain, the waiter nearby constantly apologizing, and the few won who didn’t expect to cause such a scene...
Jingnian Han slightly furrowed his brows.
Seeing his reaction, Zhang Te imdiately stepped forward and opened his mouth: "Hus..."
He only got out one syllable before he realized they were in public, and quickly changed his address: "Miss Xia, are you okay?"
Xia Wan’an didn’t feel well, but she didn’t tell Zhang Te, instead gently shaking her head, her face pale, said: "I’m fine."
"What about the little miss, why are you crying so badly? Are you hurt anywhere?" Zhang Te, thinking Xia Wan’an was really okay, turned his head to look at the crying girl.
Little miss... Hearing these words, Xia Wan’an was slightly taken aback, and then she looked at the girl.
So, she was Jingnian Han’s cousin she had never t... She didn’t know much about Jingnian Han’s cousin, not even her na. All she knew was that Jingnian Han’s aunt had eloped with a poor student despite her family’s opposition. Later, that poor student abandoned Jingnian Han’s aunt and the child in her stomach. Jingnian Han’s aunt had no choice but to return ho. Because this was a family scandal, Jingnian Han’s aunt and her child seldom appeared in public...
Xia Wan’an had heard Zhijin Han ntion this girl once. She was mute, but not born so. When she was little, for so unknown reason, she had a high fever and almost didn’t survive. Although she managed to make it through, she lost her ability to speak when she woke up...
No wonder that when she spoke to the girl earlier, she just smiled but made no sound...
In response to Zhang Te’s inquiry, Jingnian Han’s cousin didn’t speak, but kept crying.
Because too many people were looking, Zhang Te found an excuse to take Xia Wan’an and Jingnian Han’s cousin to a suite upstairs.
On the way out, seeing that Jingnian Han’s cousin was still crying incessantly, afraid that she might have been injured from the fall or the hot soup, he called Jingnian Han’s family doctor.
Soon, the doctor arrived and first examined Jingnian Han’s cousin. Seeing that she was not seriously injured, he reassured Zhang Te and prepared to leave.
The doctor was just about to pack up and hadn’t said he was leaving, when Jingnian Han’s cousin suddenly grabbed his jacket, looked at him pitifully, pointed at Xia Wan’an, and started gesturing with her hand.
