Seeing Leng Aotian's cold and indifferent expression, Gu Qingqing couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Although his indifference seemed similar to that of Li Jinze, she was still afraid and backed away.
Li Zichen looked at Gu Qingqing and backed away, wanting to protect her.
He took a step forward, but before he could reach Gu Qingqing's side, Leng Aotian quickly stretched out a hand and pressed it on Li Zichen's head.
No matter how much Li Zichen resisted, he could not break free from Leng Aotian's hand.
The power in Leng Aotian's palm was not small. He was frozen in place, unable to move.
He slowly stepped forward and directly grabbed Gu Qingqing's collar with his other hand.
Gu Qingqing's legs went weak and she lost the strength to retreat: "What are you going to do!?"
Leng Aotian slowly tightened his grip on Gu Qingqing's collar, and then lifted her up directly.
"Isn't it the milk you gave Gu Manman to drink yesterday?"
Gu Qingqing was lifted up alive, with the collar constricting her throat and feeling full of discomfort.
"Ahem, I don't know what you are doing! Put me down quickly!"
Li Zichen looked anxiously at the situation in front of him. He could not break away from Leng Aotian's palm on his head, so he could only stretch out his hand and pat his hand continuously.
"Let go! Let go of my mother!"
In a hurry, he even shouted: "I forced Gu Manman to drink the milk, and it has nothing to do with my mother!"
Hearing Li Zichen's words, Leng Aotian instantly let go of the hand holding Gu Qingqing.
Gu Qingqing fell to the ground with a "plop". She knelt on the ground, her body trembling continuously.
This man is really terrible!
On the contrary, Leng Aotian raised Li Zichen in his hand, his eyes full of disdain.
"Is it you who forced Gu Manman to drink milk?"
Li Zichen faced him without fear: "Yes, I forced you to do it, how about it!?"
Leng Aotian's hand pinched Li Zichen's neck, "Kid, do you think I dare not touch the child?"
Gu Qingqing looked at the situation in front of her and didn't know what to do.
Logically speaking, Li Zichen was caught by Leng Aotian to protect her. She should step forward to protect Li Zichen at this time!
but……
Her legs kept shaking, but she didn't dare to go up!
She really didn't dare to face Leng Aotian again.
Seeing that something was wrong, Gu Manman was the first to rush forward, grabbing Leng Aotian's wrist with both hands.
"That's enough! Leng Aotian, stop making trouble! Put Zichen down quickly!"
Leng Aotian frowned: "Gu Manman, do you know what you went through yesterday? Do you still have to be so kind?"
She gritted her teeth, how could she be kind? She just didn't want to see her child get hurt!
"Put the baby down!"
Gu Manman emphasized again, and the fingernails on Leng Aotian's arm couldn't help but dig in.
Leng Aotian paused, and finally let go of Li Zichen in his hand.
As soon as Li Zichen landed on the ground, he gasped for air.
Just now, he thought he was really dead!
He could feel that if Gu Manman hadn't stopped Leng Aotian at that time, Leng Aotian would have strangled him to death!
Gu Zichen quickly helped Li Zichen up from the ground: "Zi Chen, are you okay?"
Li Zichen pushed Gu Zichen away with his backhand: "Go away! I don't need your false concern!"
Li Jinze caught Gu Zichen who was pushed away by Li Zichen, his brows furrowed tightly.
Gu Zichen looked at Li Jinze with a solemn expression and shook his head: "I'm fine."
Not only did Li Zichen not blame Gu Qingqing for not saving him just now, but he became worried about her situation.
He lifted Gu Qingqing who was sitting on the ground: "Mom, are you okay?"
"I'm okay, wuwu, my child, Zichen, are you okay?"
Gu Qingqing started crying and touched Li Zichen's face with her trembling hands.
Li Zichen shook his head: "Mom, I'm fine."
Leng Aotian looked at Gu Qingqing and Li Zichen, as if giving some warning: "If I find you bullying Gu Manman again, it will be useless for anyone to plead for mercy next time."
Li Jinze was even more confused when he heard Leng Aotian's words and couldn't understand them at all.
The person involved, Gu Zichen, seemed to understand a little bit. Leng Aotian mentioned milk? Something happened?
Is there something wrong with the glass of milk Gu Manman drank at that time?
Gu Qingqing could only shrink her neck when she heard Leng Aotian's words, not daring to say anything.
Leng Aotian directly took Gu Manman's hand, pulled her and walked out.
"Let's go back."
Gu Manman was pulled away by Leng Aotian, while she kept looking back at Gu Zichen and Li Jinze.
"What do you mean by what Leng Aotian said? What kind of milk? What kind of bullying?"
Li Jinze frowned and looked at Gu Qingqing, his words filled with questions.
Gu Qingqing paused, then shook his head: "I don't understand! I don't even know what he is talking about, and suddenly I got crazy! Li Jinze, why don't you care about Zichen and I who were almost in danger just now!
Until now, you are still concerned about that woman Gu Manman!"
He lowered his eyes coldly: "If you really didn't do anything to Gu Manman, then why would Leng Aotian do this to you?"
She still refused to admit it: "Maybe Gu Manman said something nonsense in front of Leng Aotian and encouraged him to attack us?"
Before Li Jinze could continue to speak, Gu Zichen asked sharply: "What's wrong with yesterday's milk?"
Gu Qingqing paused, and the guilt in her heart expanded infinitely.
"What milk? I don't understand what you are talking about."
Gu Zichen continued: "Leng Aotian made it very clear just now that there is something wrong with the milk, and his goal is to find the person who drank the milk for Gu Manman. So except that there is something wrong with the milk, I can't find any other explanation."
Li Zichen still explained for Gu Qingqing: "What's wrong with that milk? Didn't everyone drink the milk? There is no problem with us, is it just Gu Manman who has a problem? I think she is pretending on purpose!"
Gu Zichen didn't think it was that simple: "Who prepared the lunch that day?"
Gu Qingqing replied calmly, she didn't think there would be any problem: "A servant at home."
He continued to ask: "Well, who prepared the milk?"
"I prepared the milk, what's the problem?"
She responded.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "How come you prepared milk for everyone if you don't touch spring water with your fingers? Besides, if you and Gu Manman are not on good terms, how could you prepare it for her?"
Gu Qingqing was stunned: "No matter how dissatisfied I am with her, she is still a guest at home, so of course I will prepare it for her."
Gu Zichen chuckled: "Really?"
He turned around and left the room, then rushed directly to the hall and gathered all the servants...
