Chapter 1676: So What

Shen Shixuan’s face was pale. The knife at her waist was deeply embedded, staining the wedding gown red. She could only barely cover it with her hand. She kept her waist bent, trying to alleviate the pain. Who would have thought her mother would suddenly crash into her, worsening the wound and causing her to hiss in pain.

Yet, Mother Shen didn’t show her any concern.

“How would I know!”

Shen Shixuan bit her lip, angrily shaking off Mother Shen’s hand. But her mother seemed possessed, surprisingly tightening her grip instead.

“How could she find such a powerful backer? This woman’s fortune is too good. How can we… later…”

Shen Shixuan quickly covered her mother’s mouth, her eyes signaling a warning, fearing she might blurt out everything.

“Mom, it really hurts. Take me to the hospital first.”

Mother Shen came to her senses, stammering “Oh, oh,” and clumsily trying to help her, but she was also disgusted by the thought of Shen Shixuan’s blood staining her exclusive cheongsam, barely putting effort into supporting her, and loudly shouted, “You’re all just going to stand there and watch? Hotel staff, what on earth are you doing, come and help her!”

Her shout was quite off-putting.

Those who initially felt sympathy decided not to move, preferring to just be spectators.

However, there was one person who held onto Shen Shixuan’s other arm.

Seeing someone coming, Mother Shen immediately let go, causing Shen Shixuan, who had most of her weight on her side, to lose support and collapse towards the ground.

Her other arm was pulled, pulling her back up.

Shen Shixuan, feeling the pain, looked up to start an outburst, but her expression changed drastically upon seeing the person’s face.

“Miss Lu?”

Lu Zhenzhen glanced at her wound, “You’re losing quite a bit of blood.”

“I…”

“You probably won’t die.”

Shen Shixuan’s heart skipped a beat, sensing something wrong, “Miss Lu, what do you mean?”

“Nothing, weren’t you asking for an explanation from me? I’ll give it to you. I see that your wound isn’t life-threatening for now, so after I give you an explanation, I’ll take you to the hospital?”

“Miss Lu, but I’m really badly injured, Nan Jiaojiao used a knife and stabbed a long cut on my waist…”

“The facts haven’t been fully investigated yet, and you’re making baseless accusations. Only the two of you were there at the time, and she was also injured!”

“But I’m obviously more seriously injured…”

“So what?”

Lu Zhenzhen was clearly showing partiality, not even bothering to hide it. She never regarded the Shen Family highly. Even though there had been a falling out between Nan Jiaojiao and Shen Shichu, it never reached the point of wanting to kill. What grounds does Shen Shixuan have to trouble Nan Jiaojiao?

Given Nan Jiaojiao’s laid-back nature, she only retaliates against those she has grievances with. What past grievances could she have with Shen Shixuan to the extent of using a knife, especially considering Shen Shixuan is a bride?

Whoever wanted to cause a scene and become the center of attention was obvious, even to a casual observer.

Fortunately, Miss Lu, in front of everyone, didn’t go too far, and she smoothed things over with her next sentence: “The situation hasn’t been clearly investigated yet, it’s too early to draw conclusions. What happened exactly, I’ll check the surveillance footage and find out.”

There was a flicker of panic in Shen Shixuan’s eyes. She unconsciously tightened her grip on her wound, feeling numb from the pain, her heart beating like a drum in agitation.

Someone chimed in with a question, “Miss Lu, when I reserved a banquet in your hotel last year, also on these two floors, I remember there weren’t any surveillance cameras in the hallways?”

“There weren’t any then, but we added them later.”
