The abandoned daughter of a wealthy family turns out to be a lucky charm, changing the fate of her e

Shen Zhi cried and buried her face in Shi Yang's neck, sobbing pitifully.

However, no one noticed that the jade gourd on the little girl's chest was faintly emitting a wisp of golden light.

Upon hearing the commotion, Xi Yuntan and the others immediately went to check on Shen Zhi's ankle.

"Blood! Why is there blood?"

Pei Shaoyuan often films outdoors. When he first heard that the bite was caused by small insects, he was about to take out the insect repellent from his bag.

But upon closer inspection, he realized that the marks on Shen Zhi's ankle didn't look like insect bites; they were crescent-shaped, but rather like scratches made by fingernails.

The wound wasn't actually that serious; it was just bleeding, and because Shen Zhi's skin was so fair, it looked particularly glaring.

Shi Yang glared angrily at Lu Weiwei: "You're the one who pinched Zhizhi! How could you be so ruthless!"

Lu Weiwei was completely stunned.

She just gently scratched it!

How could the skin be broken and bleeding?!

The production crew immediately dispatched medical personnel to disinfect and treat Shen Zhi's wounds.

Shen Zhi was fine before, but she started bleeding and crying after Lu Weiwei tugged at her. It's obvious to everyone who did it.

The sentiment in the comments section changed instantly.

[Holy crap, did Lu Weiwei really pinch him? Was it intentional or accidental?]

"It's just a small wound... is it really necessary to cry like this?"

[Hey upstairs, why don't you try getting pinched until you bleed? How old is Zhizhi?!]

Shi Yang's mind was filled with thoughts of utter ruin.

He only dared to bring Shen Zhi out for half a day, and she got injured. His old couple must be watching the live stream right now... When he gets back, he'll definitely get a beating.

Seeing Shen Zhi crying pitifully, Xi Yuntan brought Gu Xin over to comfort her:

"Zhizhi, does it hurt?"

Shen Zhi sniffed and mumbled a soft "I want Auntie to hug me."

Xi Yuntan was slightly taken aback, but faced with Shen Zhi's outstretched arm, she could only accept it.

This inevitably meant getting close to Shi Yang and having physical contact with him.

The man's problems were far greater than hers; even a fleeting touch of his hand made Xi Yuntan's arm tremble slightly.

Shen Zhi nestled in Xi Yuntan's arms, instantly feeling content.

She wasn't in any pain at all.

But if she doesn't cry louder and make the jade gourd worse, who will feel sorry for her?

Only the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Lu Weiwei leaned closer to take a look; her voice was very soft, but it was still picked up by the recording equipment.

"The wound isn't that big, is it really necessary to cry so loudly?"

Shi Yang raised her head and looked at Lan Lan and Lu Jinnan.

"What?" His voice wasn't loud, but he enunciated each word clearly, "You love your own child, but you don't love other people's children?"

Lan Lan opened her mouth: "That's not what we meant. Oh, I'm sorry, okay? We didn't do it on purpose."

Lan Lan waited for Shi Yang to apologize, but Shi Yang remained silent.

His expression was calm, so calm it was almost frightening.

"Are you waiting for me to say it's okay? You're dreaming."

Shi Yang seemed genuinely angry, not giving Lan Lan a chance to speak: "You think I'll forgive you just because you apologized? I, Shi Yang, am different from you. I don't like this kind of hypocritical politeness."

He gave a cold laugh, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"I'm not that kind. You can't just suffer injustice and expect me to keep it to myself. This isn't over until you give me an explanation. Either make this brat honestly admit what he did in front of the camera and apologize properly, or let Zhizhi pinch him back. It's one of the two."

Lu Jinnan was also furious when he saw his little niece being bullied:

"Shi Yang, don't go too far!"

Lan Lan's face was grim, but she didn't respond to Shi Yang's words. Instead, she changed the subject, her voice as gentle as if she were coaxing a child: "Shi Yang, I know you're in a bad mood, but you can't keep pushing the child... Weiwei just fell down too."

Now, the comments section is flooded with all sorts of things.

To be honest, Shi Yang's protectiveness towards his own is so cool!

[Yeah, why should we forgive someone just because they apologize? It hurts so much to be hurt!]

If I had someone with such strong principles protecting me, I would be truly moved, regardless of right or wrong!

Don't forget, Shi Yang is rude and has a terrible temper.

Yes, he wasn't trying to solve the problem at all; he was just venting his anger. Poor Weiwei...

"She lost her balance, what does that have to do with my uncle?" Shen Zhi said, speaking up for Shi Yang.

Lan Lan: ...

How unlucky she was to run into two scoundrels.

"Who knows if Shi Yang pinched you and caused that wound?" Lan Lan said irritably.

Shen Zhi: "You're talking nonsense! My uncle is so gentle, he's the gentlest uncle ever! He hugs me so gently!"

"Then apologize to the child you pushed first, and I'll apologize."

Just as the scene was getting chaotic, a clear, cold voice rang out.

"Things on set aren't what you think."

Xi Yuntan placed Shen Zhi on a separate chair, stood up, her moon-white skirt swaying gently in the wind, and walked to Shi Yang's side. She didn't look at him, but only at the camera, her voice calm and measured:

"My fans know that I rarely go online, so when you mentioned what happened on set, I didn't react immediately and didn't explain right away. I'm sorry."

"That time, it was because an extra on set wasn't holding his prop weapon properly and was about to bump into the child. Shi Yang was standing next to him and could only push him away."

She paused, turned her head to look at Shi Yang, who awkwardly avoided meeting her gaze.

"The production team later issued a statement, but nobody believed it. Everyone only wants to believe what they want to believe."

She suddenly reached out and grabbed Shi Yang's right arm.

Caught off guard, Shi Yang's sleeve was rolled up, revealing a scar.

The scar was a full five centimeters long. Although it had healed, it was still visible under a high-definition camera that its color was different from the surrounding skin.

"This is what was left over from that time. If he hadn't pushed it, the child would have had to go to the hospital."

The comments section fell completely silent.

Only then did everyone realize that they had been misunderstanding Shi Yang all along.

[Holy crap, this is a plot twist! Shi Yang, I salute you, you're a real man!]

These aren't scars, they're medals of honor!

[Did the production team issue a statement? I haven't seen it. Why aren't the marketing accounts reporting on this?]

Suddenly, a comment with a distinctive color appeared in the live chat. A small verification icon followed the name, indicating it belonged to a child actor.

[I am the child's mother. I am truly grateful to Teacher Shi Yang for what happened that time; he saved my child. Teacher Shi Yang is an exceptionally kind and dedicated person. I don't understand why such a good person is constantly being attacked online. I posted a clarification on Weibo, but no one read it… Today I finally have the opportunity to speak out. Thank you, Teacher Shi Yang! Thank you so much!]

Now, through this live stream, everyone knows that Shi Yang was wronged and misunderstood back then.

This comment in the live stream was also widely shared.

Lan Lan and Lu Jinnan stood there, their faces alternating between pale and flushed.

What a bad luck!

They originally wanted to uphold justice, but unexpectedly ended up being seen as acting impulsively.

Lan Lan twitched her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but then swallowed it back.

She tugged at Lu Jinnan's sleeve, whispered "Let's go," and turned to leave.

"Wait a moment."

A soft, sweet voice rang out.

Shen Zhi, with her short legs, climbed down from the chair and stretched out her little arms to block their way.

"Why don't you apologize to my uncle? And you, you pinched me, you need to apologize too!"
