Lin Wen Xin turned around and saw that the entire high quality glazed ceramic cup had completely shattered into pieces on the ground.
There were only the two of them in the dining hall but because of Hong Xin Rui’s loud scream, everyone rushed back in.
“Are you crazy?! You are trying to kill me?!!”
“I know that you are jealous of me but you really didn’t have to do this! Look at my hands now! What are you going to do about it?!”
Hong Xin Rui arrogantly placed her hands that have been slightly scalded by the hot coffee, right in front of Lin Wen Xin’s face.
Lin Wen Xin was sure that she had placed the cup of coffee properly on the table before she left.
The cup would definitely not fall on its own unless someone had deliberately dropped it on the floor.
“What are you staring at?? Aren’t you going to pick them up and clean the area?”
Nanny Liang hurriedly brought over a broom and dustpan so Lin Wen Xin could sweep up the broken pieces and would not injure herself.
Hong Xin Rui obviously did not appreciate this thoughtful behaviour and immediately reprimanded Nanny Liang.
“Don’t you have better things to do?! Also, didn’t you see that the coffee is still there? Are you going to dirty my broom and dustpan?!”
Lin Wen Xin on the other hand was truly touched and grateful for Nanny Liang’s concern. She smiled assuringly as she passed the items back to Nanny Liang.
It was better for Nanny Liang to leave the dining hall now before she gets another unreasonable scolding again by Hong Xin Rui.
Each of the broken pieces on the floor is still relatively large in size, so Lin Wen Xin also felt that it is better for her to pick them up by hand.
She picked up each piece very carefully, while being mindful of their sharp edges.
“What is going on?” Wang Shen Ze had suddenly appeared from behind and questioned in a cold tone.
“Hiss...” Due to the sudden shock, Lin Wen Xin had accidentally cut herself and one of her fingers started to bleed.
However, she pretended that nothing had happened and quickly picked up the rest of the broken pieces.
Hong Xin Rui turned around and saw Wang Shen Ze standing indifferently at the entrance of the hall with both hands in his pockets.
She ran over and held on to his arm affectionately as she complained to him, “Look at my hands, they were scalded by her hot coffee. It really hurts badly... I saw that she spilled it on purpose...”
Lin Wen Xin stood up in disbelief and instantly denied the accusation. “I did not spill it on you, you know clearly how the coffee landed on the ground.”
“Look... she is still trying to push the blame to me. Shen, I really feel very burdened in this house.” Hong Xin Rui pouted as she looked at Wang Shen Ze in a wronged manner.
