You Are The Apple of My Eyes -
Chapter 583 Van And Don Were Scalded
Both the brothers could bear the pain but they reacted very differently. Van wouldn't cry out, but only frowned dejectedly.
Don wasn't as composed. Since he was in pain, he had no problem complaining, "Van, my ankle is burning. It hurts so much." He bent down to check. Only one of his ankles had been scalded, while both his brother's ankles were hurt.
Don was furious. He pulled his brother behind him to protect him, with one hand on his waist and the other pointing at Linda. "Your water scalded our ankles. Apologize!"
Linda was scolding the assistant, who kept her head down and apologized. Her tears fell into the brown sugar water on the floor.
Hearing the child's loud reproach and seeing him pointing, Linda stopped her verbal barrage. She yanked the glasses off her livid face and slapped the back of Don's hand.
His white and tender hand suddenly turned red.
"Hasn't your mother told you not to point at people? You are so rude." Linda smiled arrogantly. "Do you know who I am? How dare you ask me to apologize? Ask her. She was the one that caused this mess." "Ding!" The elevator reached the 12th floor.
The doors opened and Linda proudly marched out, as her high heels clomped on the floor.
The assistant quickly squatted down to check on the children. "I'm sorry, kids. I'll take you to the hospital right away."
"I don't need your help." Van held his brother's hand and rushed to stop Linda. He furiously barked, "Apologize to my brother and me, and take us to the hospital."
"Yeah, apologize and take us to the hospital," Don angrily chirped in as well. Although Linda was much taller than them, they weren't scared at all.
She wasn't anywhere near as beautiful as their mother.
Don was disgusted by this vile woman.
"I'll drive you there. I'm sorry, kids. Let me take you." The assistant caught them up and pulled them to her side, fearing that Linda would slap the children just as she did to her.
"Miss Mi, I'll take them to the hospital. I'm sorry that you'll have to see Mr. Shi alone." She then lowered her head timidly.
Linda glared at her with ferocity filling her eyes. "You're really causing far too many issues for me. You're fired. Get as far away from me as possible and don't even think about asking to get paid this month." "Yes." She was left crying, but Van noticed something strange. She was smiling as if she was crying tears of joy.
Don wasn't going to let Linda go that easily. He shook his brother's hand loose and rushed over to this awful woman, swinging his leg and kicking the back of her knee.
With a thump, she fell to her knees.
Her creamy white summer dress started turning a little red with the blood seeping out of her knees.
Her screams of distress fell on deaf ears. The assistant widened her eyes and covered her mouth. She hesitated before even thinking about doing anything.
She didn't help her get up immediately, since she had just been fired after all. She kept Van at her side and pulled Don back a few steps.
Linda lay on the floor with her face completely pale. "Ouch! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"
After struggling to hold back her sobs, she turned and shouted with tears in her eyes, "What are you looking at? Call an ambulance!"
"Oh, okay." The assistant still stood in a daze. She took out her phone and was about to do as she was ordered. Van held her arm. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Van pointed at her white dress with the slightest blood stain on it and said, "There's no need for an ambulance. Just apply some medicine and she'll be fine."
She looked over and realized that it wasn't as urgent as Linda made it out to be, but she still wasn't sure if her bone was hurt.
"What happened? What's going on?" Someone heard all the commotion and came out to check on them.
Linda knew the man who was walking towards her was James' assistant, Justin Wei.
"Miss Mi, what's wrong?" Justin hurried to her side and helped her get up.
As soon as Linda stood on her own two feet, she felt a searing pain in her knees. She took off her high heels and was forced to walk barefoot as she leaned on Justin's shoulder and cried.
"Boo...hoo..."
Justin was stunned for a moment. Embarrassed, he turned his head and said, "Miss Mi, you..."
"My knees are in so much pain. I don't know where the kids came from. They pushed me from behind for no reason. I don't know what I did to deserve any of this." Linda started explaining herself. She really wasn't able to stand on her own.
"Liar!" Don stood with his arms akimbo, showing his dissatisfaction. His youthful voice filled with the ferocity of a raging tiger. "I hate liars."
Van stood next to his brother and said, "You have to apologize after doing something wrong. You didn't apologize and now you are lying."
Linda ignored the kids and continued, "It really hurts. Forget it. These kids are far too naughty. I think it'll be better to just let it go. Justin, are they some kind of child stars that the company is going to sign?" Justin nodded at the kids slightly and smiled before answering Linda,
"No." He helped prop her up. "Miss Mi, I remember Miss Xu was the one who introduced you to Mr. Shi, right? Mr. Shi is waiting for you in his office. Are you going to the hospital or to see him first?" It wasn't really up for debate. Of course she had to see James first.
It wasn't an easy task to get close to Sheila so she'd introduce her. How could she give up on such a golden opportunity?
Her knees did hurt though and it was definitely these children's fault. She was determined to teach them and their parents a real lesson after her meeting. She was going to ask her fans on a cyber-manhunt for them.
Linda glared at them and said tenderly, "It doesn't matter. I'll go to see Mr. Shi first. I just hope that he won't mind."
With a fake smile on his face, Justin said, "Ask your assistant to help you. I have another matter to attend to."
"Thank you." Linda stood feebly and smiled at her assistant. "Come here and help me. I'll double your salary from today onwards."
She was Linda's longest serving assistant. She was somewhat forced into it though because she desperately needed the money. If not for that, she would have resigned ages ago just like all her previous assistants.
A few minutes ago she had truly had enough and actually felt relieved that she didn't have to work for this wretched witch anymore.
When she calmed down, she had to face reality. Not to mention the fact that she was going to get double the salary.
She just had to deal with it now. She trudged over as her heart pounded in her chest.
Just now, she didn't help her up immediately, but instead pulled the children behind her. She wondered if her life would get worse if she continued to work for such a cruel person.
Thinking of the doubled salary though, she gritted her teeth and endured it.
Linda leaned onto her and they both went into the office. Justin quickly hurried to see to the boys.
"Kids, are you all right?"
Don bent down and lifted his pants up, revealing his burnt ankle as he pouted. "It was scalded. My brother's ankles are even worse. That terrible woman did this and didn't even apologize or take us to the hospital."
Justin frowned. The twins were the apple of the whole Shi family's eye. Linda was doomed this time.
"I'll call the doctor right away." Justin quickly took his phone out and made a call, asking, "Did anyone else see it?
Van pointed at the elevator and said, "There is a monitor."
Justin paused shortly, then the call seemed to be answered. "Ask the doctor to come to the CEO's office at J Entertainment Company. Two kids were scalded. Kids, you go to find Mr. Shi. I'll get the surveillance video and the doctor will be here soon."
"Thank you." Van pulled his angry brother and walked towards James' office.
The more Don thought about it, the angrier he became. He clenched his fists and huffed and puffed like a bull. "I will avenge you!"
"I will avenge you, too," Van earnestly assured, clenching his fists.00
