Lu Beichen was incredibly distressed, so he walked over to hug her, gently stroking her back, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for making you suffer!"
Ji Niandong shook her head and quickly wiped away her tears, "No, it's me who made Little Uncle suffer! Dad has always been strange-tempered, and even worse when he drinks!" Ji Niandong gave a bitter smile, "It's not the first time he's hit me!"
Lu Beichen furrowed his brow slightly, while Zhu Yiming, who was standing nearby, also sympathized with her. He went over and patted Lu Beichen on the shoulder, "I'll go check on Uncle first, considering my status as his lifesaver is still something."
"I'll go with you!" Li Yi also followed along.
Once they left, Ji Niandong hugged him tightly and cried out, "Little Uncle!"
"Mm, I'm here!" He hugged her tighter, "Cry if you want to cry!"
Ji Niandong suddenly began to cry, sounding utterly heartbroken.
