Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Chapter 2885 Irritability and Sourness

Shi Ye was slightly taken aback, then immediately let go of his hand, raised an eyebrow, and asked in a low voice, "Did I hurt you?"

Charlene quickly shook her head and replied softly, "No," but her cheeks involuntarily felt hot.

Perhaps in Shi Ye's eyes, this was just an unconscious action and nothing special, but in Xia Lin's heart, this sudden touch carried an indescribable intimacy.

She was overjoyed, and her heart beat faster, as if a deer was pounding wildly in her chest.

Shino gently rubbed his fingers together, as if still savoring the sensation from just now.

His gaze deepened, a slight glint appearing in his eyes, as if he were about to say something.

Just then, a clear voice came from the side, "Junior Xia Lin?"

Xia Lin subconsciously turned her head and saw that it was You Qian, her senior who had collaborated with her many times in charity events, standing a few steps away waving at her.

Upon seeing this, Xia Lin quickly greeted him, "Senior, what a coincidence."

You Qian smiled gently and nodded in response, "Yes! It is indeed quite a coincidence."

I was originally planning to visit you, but it's such a coincidence that we met here.

As he spoke, his gaze inadvertently turned to the car and he noticed Shi Ye sitting in the driver's seat.

He greeted her politely, "You must be Shi Ye? I saw the variety show you and Xia Lin participated in together before. Hello!"

Shi Ye glanced at him, nodded politely, and greeted him respectfully, "Hello!"

You Qian then asked with concern, "Junior Xia Lin, are you going out together?"

Charlene quickly replied, "No, I just got back."

"By the way, senior, you said you wanted to see me, is there something you need?"

You Qian smiled gently and said, "Forgot? I mentioned a charity event to you last time?"

The specific schedule has been finalized. I'd like to ask if you'll be free to join us then?

If it's convenient, we should go to the welfare home together.

Charlene suddenly remembered, smiled apologetically, and said, "I have some time this weekend, I can go there that afternoon."

Upon hearing this, You Qian's eyes flashed with joy, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips. "That's wonderful!"

Since the time is right, why don't we go to the mall together later and buy some things for the kids?

Charlene readily agreed, "Great! I've been thinking about what little gifts I should prepare for the children this time."

You Qian nodded and suggested, "Then let's discuss the specific arrangements in detail when we get back to the club activity room?"

Xia Lin nodded in agreement, then turned to say goodbye to Shi Ye, "Brother Shi Ye, I'll go and get busy now."

Drive carefully on the road, see you later.

Shi Ye nodded slightly and said in a calm tone, "Okay, you're busy."

His gaze swept indifferently over Charlene as he prepared to leave.

As he left, Shi Ye looked back through the rearview mirror and saw Xia Lin and You Qian chatting animatedly.

The two were talking about something, the girl had a bright smile on her face, and You Qian leaned slightly forward, listening attentively.

For some reason, Shi Ye felt a sudden surge of irritation.

He frowned, his fingers gripping the steering wheel unconsciously tightening.

If he wasn't mistaken, the way that senior looked at Xia Lin was unusual.

Charlene, of course, didn't notice anything and quickly followed You Qian back to the club.

The layout and procedures here were already very familiar to her.

In previous events, she actively participated in the preliminary procurement and preparation work.

Therefore, she seemed more at ease and confident participating this time.

However, once she gets busy, she has no time to pay attention to her phone or any news from the outside world.

Throughout the afternoon, online discussions about John's hit-and-run incident intensified.

At the height of the uproar, the police released a detailed announcement through official channels.

The announcement stated: "After days of extensive visits, meticulous investigations, and evidence collection by the police, conclusive evidence has been obtained to confirm that John intentionally drove his car into Charlene, and his actions constitute intentional injury."

John has been detained by the police in accordance with the law and has confessed to his illegal acts.

In addition, several of John's colleagues were also involved and assisted John's actions to some extent.

However, the investigation revealed that they were deceived and misled by John and participated without their knowledge.

Therefore, the police issued criticism and education and imposed corresponding administrative penalties on these colleagues, but did not pursue criminal charges.

The announcement was lengthy and detailed, outlining the events and clarifying the police's position.

At the end of the announcement, the police solemnly warned the public to abide by the law and never intentionally harm others out of momentary impulse or personal grudges, and never take any actions that could cause injury. Violators will be severely punished by law.

……

The news caused an uproar online as soon as it was released.

Before the announcement, John's fans were jumping around so fiercely. Now, their words and actions are just as untenable, a complete self-inflicted slap in the face.

"I told you! There was bound to be a twist in this story! Since the show started airing, this has happened several times with Shi Ye and Xia Lin!"

"My God! Was it really done on purpose? Has John gone mad? Even if he's confident in his driving skills, he shouldn't do something so outrageous, right? What if an accident happens? Isn't he afraid of actually killing someone?"

This behavior is downright tantamount to playing with other people's lives!

"My God, to be such a simp is truly chilling and terrifying. They're even capable of doing something as extreme as murder?"

"No wonder they're called Lee Ji-eun's top simp! Both of them seem to be mentally unstable, the kind who are paranoid and extreme."

"We strongly suggest that they lock themselves together immediately and never separate, so as to prevent them from harming other people!"

"Where are John's fans? Weren't they always barking and acting innocent? Why are they all so quiet now, not barking or jumping around?"

"Exactly, just hurry up and release it. I can't help but start cursing. Aren't you usually the best at distorting the truth and whitewashing your idols? How come you dare to speak up now that things have gone wrong?"

"How terrifying is this person. Online, they put on a hypocritical act of righteous indignation, even pretending to advise Shi Ye and Xia Lin not to seek attention. Does being good at talking automatically give you an advantage?"

"Look at him, he's brainwashed those mindless fans to the point that they're all like they've lost their minds, completely lacking independent thinking ability, and all they know how to do is stir up trouble."
