Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation       Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the past, no matter what holiday it was, the Li family house would always feel empty and lonely. Li Yanchen would be away on a business trip. He always assigned Assistant Qin to book a table at a restaurant for the children to have a nice dinner on the holidays.

The children didn’t look forward to holidays and festivals at all. They didn’t care because it would be the same thing every time.

However, Li Zekai looked very happy this time. Li Yanchen was stunned. He hadn’t known that his children had felt this lonely.

“Do you like spending New Year’s Eve with many people, Jiejie?” he asked.

Li Zekai got off his swing and hugged Li Yanchen. “Yes, of course! I want to be with you, my brothers, and Auntie Lin! We’ve never celebrated New Year’s Eve together. This time, can we all be together?” Li Zekai’s head drooped. ‘Every time, I feel so sad when the holidays are near. You won’t be home, and my brothers don’t feel like celebrating either. They say it’s the same every time and it’s so boring. I wasn’t happy at all.”

Li Yanchen’s heart ached when he heard his son’s words. He had thought that they had been happy because they could choose whatever they wanted to eat and buy the things they liked the most on the holidays.

He put his arms around his son. “Then, we’ll celebrate this New Year’s Eve together and have the most delicious meal!”

“Okay! I’ll go tell Brother Xuanxuan. He’ll be very happy!”

Li Yanchen pulled his son back as he tried to rush away. “Let’s keep it a secret for now. I haven’t made the arrangements yet. This will be between us until I prepare everything. Then, we can give everyone a pleasant surprise!” “Okay,” whispered Li Zekai. “It’ll be a real surprise. I won’t tell anyone.” Li Yanchen also looked forward to New Year’s Eve this time.

Most of the guests couldn’t fall asleep because this was their last night in Lan Village.

The next day, the Festival Group didn’t plan any announcements or missions. They let the guests sleep in. The families woke up and made a meal for themselves. They gathered at the village entrance at 11 a.m.

Ji Hanzhi had arrived 20 minutes earlier. She was hiding in the wheat field. She had the bottle of sulfuric acid ready and was waiting for Lin Wan

Everyone walked to the village entrance together with their luggage. It was a gloomy and cold afternoon. The guests wore hats and scarves to keep themselves warm.

Lin Wan held onto the unfinished sweater. It was taking her quite a long time to finish knitting.

The staff members handed the guests a yellow bag of gifts. It had some dry food, and a photo album that contained memorable pictures to remind them of the village.

Ji Hanzhi peeked through the dense wheat. Lin Wan was standing in front of Li Yanchen, and there were other people around her. She couldn’t do anything right now for fear of hurting Li Yanchen and the others.

She waited a little while longer. Everyone headed to the parking lot and got ready to get into their respective cars.

The children said their goodbyes, while Lin Wan and Li Yanchen walked to their car. Lin Wan was close enough for Ji Hanzhi to pounce on.

Ji Hanzhi opened the bottle and held it ready. She avoided everyone and moved closer to Lin Wan.

Li Zekai, Feifei, and Ning Weiwei hugged each other and followed their parents to the car.

Li Zexuan, Ning Xiaoxiao, Xiao Yi, and Wheatley also exchanged their goodbyes.

“Li Zexuan, wait!” said Xiao Yi. He was holding the signed basketball keychain that Li Chuan had given him. He had two of those. So, Xiao Yi wanted to give one to Li Zexuan since he was his closest friend.

Ji Hanzhi rushed toward Lin Wan.

There was a loud thud, and the sound of glass shattering.

Xiao Yi had bumped into Ji Hanzhi. The glass bottle dropped from her hands and the liquid splashed on her own face.

The acid had splashed onto Xiao Yi’s jacket too. There was smoke rising from it.

Both were Imocked to the ground. Fortunately, Xiao Yi was tall, so the acid had only splashed on his jacket. His clothes were thick, so the acid didn’t touch his skin.

Ji Hanzhi wasn’t as lucky. As she was knocked down, the bottle slipped from her hands and the acid splashed on her face. She held her face in her hands and cried out in pain.

Everyone was stunned. They only saw a woman on the ground crying out in pain with her hands covering her face. Nobody recognized her.

At first, they had assumed Xiao Yi had bumped into a staff member. However, they saw the shattered glass bottle and the liquid that was corroding everything. There was smoke rising from Xiao Yi’s jacket too.

Xiao Yi loved experimenting, so he knew about chemicals. He instantly understood that the liquid was sulfuric acid. “Take her to the well. Wash her face with water. Quickly! Call an ambulance!”

Ji Hanzhi was in so much pain that she wanted to die.

A staff member helped her wash her face with water. They recognized the woman. It was their previous flying guest, Ji Hanzhi!

Seeing the sulfuric acid still giving off smoke on the ground, everyone knew that this was serious.

Some of the staff checked the CCTV footage to understand what had actually happened. They saw Ji Hanzhi crouching in the wheat field. From the way she lunged at Lin Wan, they understood that Ji Hanzhi had deliberately tried to hurt her. Just then, Xiao Yi bumped into her.

The viewers were quick to post the recorded footage on Twitter. Ji Hanzhi was now trending.

Lulu saw the news too.

[Ji Hanzhi disfigured herself.]

[Ji Hanzhi is so ruthless and shameless. She wanted to splash the acid on Lin Wan but hurt herself in the process.]

[Why did she do that? Didn’t she already spend a few days in prison?]

[She was detained for a few days and then released. Why is she deliberately causing trouble for herself?]

[Everyone should be careful of this kind of person. I thought she only had a harmless one-sided fantasy about Li Yanchen, but I never realized that her obsession was this pathological.]

[She has two daughters. Didn’t she even think about her own children? What will happen to them after she is sent to jail?]

Lulu was shaken. She couldn’t understand why Ji Hanzhi would do something like that. Irrespective of the outcome, she would go to jail for doing something like that. ‘Has she gone crazy?

Lulu’s hand trembled as she called Ji Hanzhi. She wanted to ask which hospital Ji Hanzhi was in, but there was no response.

[They even sent her to the hospital. They should’ve left her there on the ground to rot.]

[How was I ever a fan of hers? Was I blind? She’s a horrible person!]

[No matter how she felt about Li Yanchen or Lin Wan, she shouldn’t have done that. That’s a crime!]

[She should be locked up. She’s dangerous.]

[It’s sulfuric acid! Oh my god! She was going to splash it on Lin Wan. Is she crazy?!]

At Lan Village, everyone stood by as the ambulance arrived to take Ji Hanzhi away. They were frightened, especially the Li family.

Li Yanchen’s heart pounded as though it would jump out of his chest any minute. Sulfuric acid had almost been splashed on Lin Wan! He couldn’t process it.

Li Zexuan and Li Zekai were frozen in fear. They couldn’t even utter a word.

The viewers slowly recovered from the shock and started commenting again.

[I didn’t even know it was Ji Hanzhi. I thought Xiao Yi had bumped into a staff member. But the acid…]

[I’m still scared. My hands are shaking.]

[My heart is pounding. I’m glad Xiao Yi isn’t injured.]

[Xiao Yi’s jacket is ruined. I’m so glad he is okay. I wouldn’t have believed it was acid if I didn’t see the smoke coming out of his jacket..]
