Chapter 2194 - Something Strange
Knowing that he was forced to do so, Wan Dou could understand him.
Even though she could not call him “daddy”, she already felt that he was a good father in her heart.
Wen Zhehan suddenly felt a warm hand on the back of his hand, patting him gently and comforting him.
At this moment, his eyes were brimming with tears of excitement.
He reached out to hold his daughter’s hand and she did not pull her hand back. Wen Zhehan was overjoyed.
At least it meant that his daughter no longer rejected him.
The father and daughter came back from the cemetery and returned to the Wen family home. Li Meien and Wen Shiyu were both at home.
After they entered the house, they sat down on the sofa. Li Mei’en said, “You’ve been out all morning. How was it? Are you tired? Sit down and rest. I’ll make tea for you.”
There was a huge gap on the coffee table, and the water in the kettle was already boiling.
Wen Zhehan sat down and talked about what had happened in the morning. Li Meien and Wen Shiyu quickly looked at each other and picked up the hot teapot. Then, they suddenly pretended that their hands had slipped and the teapot fell from her hands and rolled towards Wan Dou.
“Oh my…” Li Meien cried out.
If the water spilled out and scalded his body or feet, the consequences would be severe.
Wan Dou was quick to react. When she saw the kettle rolling over, she kicked it to the side without thinking. In the end, the kettle rolled to Wen Shiyu’s feet. The lid of the kettle opened, and the water inside spilled out onto the back of Wen Shiyu’s feet.
“Ah…”
Wen Shiyu, who was scalded by the boiling water, immediately screamed in pain.
“Oh my Xiaoyu…”
Li Meien realized that Wan Dou had avoided it and burned her own daughter instead. Her heart ached terribly.
When Wen Zhehan saw his daughter being scalded, his first reaction was to pick her up, send her to the bathroom, and wash her feet with cold water.
Even though she had already washed it with cold water, there were still blisters formed.
Wen Zhehan couldn’t help but scold Li Meien. “Look at you. Why are you so careless? Both Wan Dou and Xiaoyu would have suffered!”
“I… I didn’t notice…” Li Mei’en was at a loss for words.
After that, Wen Zhehan ordered the butler, Li Hou, to send Wen Shiyu to the hospital for treatment. Li Meien also followed.
When Wan Dou saw Wen Zhehan, she apologized, “I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
She really hadn’t done it on purpose. It was just an instinctive reaction.
“It’s not your fault. It’s all Auntie Li’s fault. If you hadn’t been scalded just now, Daddy would’ve felt bad too. Okay, go upstairs and rest. I’ll get someone to call you when it’s time to eat.”
“Mm.”
In the afternoon, Wen Shiyu came back from the hospital. The back of her right foot was lightly burned and was wrapped with some gauze. When she entered the house, Li Hou and Li Meien helped her in.
Wan Dou happened to see this scene. She surveyed the three people in front of her and felt something was strange.
After Wen Shiyu came in, she saw Wan Dou sitting there alone, drinking tea. She was furious. “Wan Dou, you burned my feet and you still have the mood to drink tea!”
Wan Dou turned to look at her and said innocently, “Then what would you have me do?”
“You caused me a great deal of hurt. I can’t even wear heels anymore. How am I supposed to attend my mother’s birthday party? It’s all your fault. You should at least apologize to me.”
Wen Shiyu was unforgiving.
“The person who should be apologizing should be your mother. If it wasn’t for her hand slipping, I wouldn’t have kicked it away. Your mother is the accomplice if you are trying to pin the blame on me!”
“You —” Wen Shiyu was about to die from anger. She wanted to rush over and argue with her, but Li Meien stopped her.
