He Jinnan glanced at the caller ID and didn't comply with her. He coldly glared at her, shook off her hand, and stood up to leave the restaurant.
Everyone saw their interaction and all looked on with shocked concern.
Xia Zhi lowered her eyes, biting her back teeth, her jaw clenched tight, and her hands balled into fists.
"Sister-in-law…" He Jiarui called out to her worriedly from beside her.
Xia Zhi blinked hard, swallowed, looked up at everyone, and said, "Please excuse me for a moment, continue eating."
After she said that, she quickly stood up and followed him out of the restaurant.
In the living room by the floor-to-ceiling windows, He Jinnan, with one hand in his pocket, reassuringly said to her, "Don't worry, I'll be there soon."
Then, he fiercely said into the phone, "If you dare touch a hair on her head again, don't say I didn't warn you!" After that, he harshly hung up the phone.
As he turned around, he saw Xia Zhi standing not far away, his expression hardened.
