Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 842

Chapter 842: Chapter 842: Sinister Motives

Lin Zhiyi and Liu He planned well, but upon entering the banquet hall, they found that the child was missing.

The two hurried forward.

Liu He anxiously asked, "Where’s the child?"

Gong Shiyan explained, "When the crowd gathered, Little Bao started crying, so I asked the nanny to take him over there to calm him down and put him to sleep."

Gong Chen also said, "He’s in the corridor next door."

Over there was a glass door, and the nanny was walking back and forth with the child, clearly visible.

Lin Zhiyi comforted, "Mom, there are so many guests, you keep busy, I’ll help you keep an eye on him."

Only then did Liu He feel relieved and continued to greet guests with Gong Shiyan.

Lin Zhiyi kept watch outside the glass door.

The nanny gently patting the child in her arms was bathed in sunlight.

She looked especially nurturing.

Lin Zhiyi was absorbed, suddenly feeling like she was being watched.

She thought it might be Gong Chen, but when she turned her head, only Yang Jingwei stood in that direction.

Yang Jingwei was speaking to Bai Ruoshu beside her, and they both laughed.

It seemed there was something to be happy about.

Lin Zhiyi instinctively frowned, initially wanting to call Gong Chen.

Turning around, she saw Gong Chen had already walked far away.

She turned back to Yang Jingwei, who along with her daughter, followed Gong Yao elsewhere.

Could she be overthinking it?

But she still felt a slight unease.

To be safe, she decided to go watch the child herself.

As she turned towards the corridor outside, she saw an old lady slowly open the glass door.

Her movements were slow, and she seemed non-threatening.

Lin Zhiyi followed her.

The old lady stopped by the child, looked down, and smiled.

"Very good, this child is truly fortunate."

Lin Zhiyi heard this and decided not to disturb them.

People of a certain age can’t help teasing children.

The old lady reached out to touch the child.

The nanny, having experienced the earlier incident, was still shaken.

She immediately dodged a bit.

"Sorry, madam, the child has just fallen asleep and wakes easily."

"No problem, I’m just here to get a bit of luck."

The old lady was richly dressed, and the nanny didn’t dare offend her.

However, she still did not agree.

"This child spits up easily now, madam, your clothes look very expensive, you wouldn’t want them stained."

Typically, hearing such words would imply refusal.

The old lady was not ordinary and surely understood.

Yet she acted as if she hadn’t heard and suddenly grabbed the child’s arm.

The child woke up in pain and cried loudly.

Lin Zhiyi immediately stepped forward and grabbed the old lady’s arm, "Madam, please let go."

The old lady did not even look at Lin Zhiyi, staring intently at the child.

Lin Zhiyi faintly felt the old lady was exerting force.

She saw the child’s arm being twisted harder by the old lady.

The child’s cries grew louder, but with the glass being soundproof, those inside couldn’t hear.

The nanny, frightened, moved to pull the child’s hand but worried about breaking it.

"Let go quickly, the child can’t take it."

Hearing this, the old lady became more excited.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiyi directly bent down and bit her wrist hard.

"Ah!"

The old lady screamed, releasing the child.

The nanny quickly hugged the child and dodged to the side.
