3.

With a "bang," the door was pushed open by Huo Chengjun.

"Xinxin, what are you doing?"

He asked Su Xin with some confusion. I desperately wanted to rush to him and tell him that An'an was suffering from Su Xin's torment, but I still couldn't make a sound.

Before he pushed open the door, Su Xin had already hidden the blood-filled syringe in her pocket, tidied up the fallen objects, making everything seem normal.

Even her daughter was cradled in her arms, her eyes shut tight, only the tear and blood stains mixed on her face.

She responded to Huo Chengjun unhurriedly, as if she had changed faces: "An'an came over, and accidentally bumped her head while playing, there's just a little blood. Kids, you know, they cry themselves to sleep when they're tired."

Huo Chengjun scanned the scene before him, easing some doubts. Seeing the bloodstains on his daughter's face, he instinctively wanted to wipe them away, but was blocked by Su Xin.

"Bumped so badly?"

Su Xin moved her gaze quickly, flustered: "Kids are playful, bumps and scratches are normal."

Huo Chengjun frowned in displeasure.

"I don't know how Cheng Wanyi manages her! By the way, why did she come?"

"Alas... Sister Wan Yi is having An'an come to ask you for money again. Letting the child come out alone at night, not afraid of danger..."

Su Xin watched Huo Chengjun washing his hands, and seeing the disgust in his eyes, she felt relieved.

Huo Chengjun snorted coldly.

"That Cheng Wanyi is really something. To make you leave my side, she uses all means possible. Using her daughter to curry favor is one thing, but she even dared to hurt Rui Rui with a knife. If we hadn't discovered it in time, Rui Rui might have..."

Amid the blur, his daughter heard a familiar voice and instinctively called "Daddy," opening her eyes only to see that devil-like face.

Frightened, the daughter began to scream, quickly breaking away from Su Xin's embrace and trembling as she hid behind Huo Chengjun.

Su Xin's eyes flashed a cold light but then she spoke aggrievedly: "No matter how much I care for An'an, she can't get close to me..."

Huo Chengjun sympathetically hugged her.

"You've worked hard."

Then he kicked his daughter away, pointing at her harshly.

"Just like your mother, ungrateful, always biting the hand that feeds you. Still want money? It's only a little blood drawn for Rui Rui, it's her own doing!"

Seeing his daughter like this, Huo Chengjun grew even more impatient, kicking his daughter's waist with his toes to make her leave.

But his daughter, having just had so much blood drawn, was too weak to stand and was kicked to the ground by the man.

Her lips started turning pale, her forehead sweating. I seemed to see a mist rising from my daughter's body.

Now that I'm in soul form, I understand what that mist signifies.

Despite her inability to stand, Huo Chengjun's anger knew no bounds, as he prepared to kick his daughter out with determination.

Ignoring the force of the kick, his daughter held the man's leg directly, a thud followed, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

"I can't leave yet, Mom needs 'Little An Candy.'"

"Mom is sick and won't take her medicine, hasn't woken up in three days. I need to get candy from Dad; medicine's not bitter, then Mom will wake up and take it..."

His daughter looked up, her tear-stained red eyes and fresh blood made Huo Chengjun's heart leap, and from her words he grasped a crucial point.

"Three days without waking? I remember they only drew 200cc, such weakness shouldn't cause inability to wake. Could it be..."

"Chengjun!"

"What's wrong?"

Facing Huo Chengjun's confused look, she turned her eyes away and forced a stiff smile.

"Kids love to exaggerate, maybe Sister Wanyi just wants candy while resting. Hurry and give it to her, so she can get back quickly, otherwise Sister Wanyi will worry."

Huo Chengjun felt that there was some truth in Su Xin's words, forcefully suppressing the unease that had just arisen in his heart.

Su Xin gave him a reassuring hug, then left.

But where Huo Chengjun couldn't see, Su Xin revealed a vicious smile.
