Chapter 93: Who Did It?!
Seeing this, Lu Yuanzhong was startled as well. Only then did he suddenly realize something and turn to look at the patch of snow behind him, his expression turning bewildered. That thing was a snowman?
“Uh... sorry, I didn’t mean it. I didn’t see there was a snowman here just now,” he hurriedly apologized. But when he turned back, he saw the girl staring fixedly at the heap of crushed snow in front of his car. Her clean little face looked so hurt it seemed she might burst into tears at any moment.
Even the things she had been holding in her arms had suddenly fallen all over the ground.
Lin Nanshun walked up to the mound of snow and sniffed ruefully, looking at it with utter regret. She had spent so long making it... and now it was all gone.
Lu Yuanzhong was momentarily speechless. He had thought knocking over a snowman was no big deal at all.
But seeing the girl so upset now, he could not help feeling a wave of guilt, as though he had committed some monstrous blunder.
“Mr. Lu, why were you so careless? Miss Lin’s face is all red from the cold, and she spent so long making that. One bump from your car, and it’s all gone!” At that moment, the servant who had followed Lin Nanshun also looked at the pile of snow, sighed in pity, and began scolding Lu Yuanzhong.
“It’s not my fault. You people didn’t even bother to clear the snow from the lawn. This was the only open spot, so of course I drove over here...” Lu Yuanzhong was torn between guilt and grievance, feeling both apologetic and unfairly accused.
“The snow was left there because the master said not to clear it. Besides, this area was open only because Miss Lin used all the snow to build her snowman,” the servant explained further.
Lu Yuanzhong fell silent, at a loss for words.
Just then, a tall black figure emerged from the villa and walked toward them.
As soon as Shen Hanzhi arrived, he saw Lin Nanshun standing there dazed, with fruit and carrots scattered across the ground beside her.
He glanced around, his gaze pausing for a second on Lu Yuanzhong before settling on Lin Nanshun’s face.
That little face, which had been bright and delighted not long ago, now held not a trace of happiness. Especially those eyes, full of grievance and sorrow.
That lonely, fragile figure seemed to embody helplessness and hurt...
Seeing her like this, Shen Hanzhi’s expression changed at once. His handsome features grew stern and heavy.
“Who did this?” he asked with a frown, his voice severe.
There was a hint of irritation in that stern tone.
Who had bullied her?
Seeing the change in Shen Hanzhi’s expression, Lu Yuanzhong standing by the car could not help drawing in a sharp breath, instinctively sensing something very bad coming...
Just as he was about to speak up and defend himself, the servant beside him suddenly spoke first.
“Mr. Lu knocked over the snowman Miss Lin had almost finished building...” the servant recounted the facts honestly.
As soon as those words fell, a cold gaze swept over.
That murderous look of chill and frost made Lu Yuanzhong instantly tense.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly. He hastily turned to the girl with a smile, trying to make amends somehow.
“Heh... It’s only a snowman. If it got ruined, then so be it. I’ll make you an even prettier one,” Lu Yuanzhong said with an awkward chuckle.
At the mention of compensating her with another snowman, Lin Nanshun paused, then a look of curiosity appeared on her face.
