Chapter 5 Miss Xiaoxiao Was Hit_1

"Grandpa..."

Lan Jin's voice was somewhat husky, her throat choked, and her eyes started to redden.

What mainly struck her was that the old man seemed to have aged a lot compared to three years ago.

It was obvious that he must have been worrying about her affairs these past three years, as his hair had turned mostly white.

His face also appeared much more haggard and aged, as if he had aged ten years.

Fortunately, the old man still had a good spirit, and his physique seemed robust, his scolding even more so full of energy!

"Miss... Miss?"

Standing beside them, the butler, the first to notice Lan Jin, stared at her for a while before he could barely recognize her, but still seemed uncertain.

"Eh! Xiao Jin is here?"

The old man swiftly raised his head and recognized her at a glance, immediately smiling and waving to her.

Perhaps noticing her reddened eyes, he was so frightened that he dropped his phone and walked over, extremely anxious.

"What's wrong? Did you read the comments on Weibo? Saw that everyone is scolding you, and you felt sad and upset, didn't you?"

"Grandpa tells you, don't mind them, the innocent will be clear of false charges, Grandpa believes you wouldn't do such a thing, my good granddaughter is the kindest, she's not that kind of person."

"Grandpa..."

Lan Jin couldn't help herself anymore and buried her head into the old man's embrace, holding him tightly.

The old man was quite tall, standing at one meter ninety. In his youth, he had been a soldier and also a national-level athlete, first-class in both looks and stature.

Even after turning sixty, he still retained the charm of his youth and didn't show any signs of hunching or stooping.

It was just a pity he was a bit too thin now. When Lan Jin hugged him, she felt somewhat uncomfortable, which made the tip of her nose ache again.

The old man hadn't been hugged like this in many years, and it made his face turn red in the moment, leaving him looking out of sorts, yet his heart was filled with sweetness, almost to the point of crying with excitement.

Right then, he really wanted to shout out for all to hear: My dear granddaughter is hugging me! My dear granddaughter doesn't despise this old man at all, and she's hugging me so tightly, hehehe!

...

After a moment, Lan Jin regained her composure and, while the old man wasn't paying attention, she quietly checked his pulse.

Thankfully, there was nothing majorly wrong with the old man's health, just a bit of high blood pressure and poor sleep, which needed some proper care.

"Xiao Jin, do you still have enough money in your card? If not, I'll transfer some to you. Remember to spend money every day and don't save too much, don't forget that, ok?"

The old man took her hand and sat down on the chair, looking at her with kind and affectionate eyes, his voice even more gentle than ever.

"As for the incident of you assaulting the pregnant woman, don't worry about it. Grandpa will take care of it for you. I won't let anyone harm you. At most, they'll just curse a bit on Weibo. Just ignore them, and it will be over."

"Also... I've arranged for a month's leave for you. Don't go to school for the time being, wait until this issue blows over before returning."

Lan Jin was moved, about to speak, when Butler Uncle Fu's shocked voice suddenly rang out—

"Oh no, has Miss been beaten? Someone has uploaded a video of Miss being beaten online."

Upon hearing this, the old man's face changed, and he quickly picked up his phone to check Weibo, his handling of the device exceptionally skilled.

The topic #PregnantWomanGateBeaten became rapidly trending.

A video uploaded not long ago by a small Weibo account was surprisingly clear.

It clearly showed Lan Jin, dressed in an outrageous fashion, being violently attacked by three or four women, with ferocious punches and kicks.

Lan Jin was painfully curled up on the ground, desperately protecting her head, trying to shield her vital parts, looking disheveled and pitiful.

Then, the camera suddenly focused on a malicious and savage face—one of the attackers, and it turned out to be the very pregnant woman who was crying foul!
