Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Huazhen’s brilliant performance caused the crowd to become agitated. The surrounding crowd spoke up righteously and criticized Cen Pan for going overboard.
Kitten Ye looked at the people in front of her who wanted to poke Cen Pan’s face with their fingers. His eyes were filled with tears and afraid that he would be snatched back by Li Huazhen in the next second, he squeezed Cen Pan’s fingers tightly.
Cen Pan was speechless as she looked at the group of people who were jumping to conclusions without even knowing the specifics.
Although she really didn’t want to argue with them, she was still the wife of the president of the Ye Corporation after all. She still had to consider her reputation at all times.
However, in such a situation, even if she said something, these people might not stand on her side. After all, in society, other than standing on the moral high ground to judge others, everyone also hated the rich.
Cen Pan took a deep breath, squatted down and leaned close to Ye Xiaotian’s ear.
“Kitten, Auntie wants to bring you to the Ye family, but you need to stand up bravely and help Auntie resolve this matter, okay?”
Kitten Ye nodded his head in confusion. He didn’t know what Cen Pan needed him to do, but as long as he could leave this place, he was willing to do anything. He didn’t want to live a life where he couldn’t eat his fill, wear warm clothes, and he also didn’t want to be beaten and scolded for no reason.
Seeing Kitten Ye nod, Cen Pan hesitated for a few seconds before lifting Kitten Ye’s shirt.
Under his thin clothes, his skin and bones were covered with bruises, and some places were even bluish-black.
Everyone’s discussion suddenly stopped. Everyone who saw this scene could not help but gasp.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
“Oh my god, this… why is this child covered in injuries? Who is so cruel to such a young child?”
“Who the hell dares to attack such a young child? Are you even human? Come and spar with me if you dare to.”
“With new and old injuries, this child must have been beaten up more than once. How pitiful.”
“...”
No matter how many times she looked at these scars, Cen Pan’s heart ached. She gently tidied Kitten Ye’s clothes.
Cen Pan stood up and pointed straight at Li Huazhen.
“Everyone saw it. These wounds were all inflicted by this woman. This is what she meant by painstakingly raising a child.”
Cen Pan glared at Li Huazhen and continued, “I came here today to get custody of this child. If I let her continue raising her, the child will probably be gone in a few years.”
“What are you talking about? When did I ever hit him? Let him talk.”
Seeing that the crowd’s sympathy had turned into disdain, Li Huazhen panicked. She rushed forward, grabbed Kitten Ye’s arm, and pushed through the crowd.
“Ask him yourself. See if I had hit him.”
Ye Xiaotian felt a sudden pain in his arm. When he regained his senses, Li Huazhen had already pushed him into the crowd.
He was surrounded by unfamiliar faces, all of them filled with curiosity.
He took two steps back in fear. Kitten Ye turned around and quickly looked for Cen Pan in the crowd. She was his last bit of security.
Li Huazhen’s actions were too fast and Cen Pan was completely caught off guard. By the time she reacted, Li Huazhen had blocked her from touching Kitten Ye.
At a time like this, she couldn’t care less about composure. Cen Pan grabbed Li Huazhen’s wrist and threw her away. She rushed into the crowd and held onto Ye Xiaotian again.
“Kitten, don’t be afraid.. Auntie will protect you.”
