Chapter 1516: Chapter 1516: Why Is She in Such a Hurry?
“Okay.”
Qin Youxuan blinked her cat-like eyes and agreed very crisply.
They didn’t have specific assignments; they mainly just substituted for each other.
She was responsible for dealing with the media, while Ye Mingmei kept watch and Jin Chenye patrolled the venue.
With Ye Mingmei going out, Youxuan staying behind to keep watch was also an option.
Qin Youxuan didn’t really want to face the media anyway, so she walked straight to the surveillance area and sat down.
“Thank you.”
Ye Mingmei politely expressed her thanks and then dashed out with quickened steps.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that something was off about her.
But, Qin Youxuan, after what had just happened, had been somewhat distracted, her mind incessantly replaying Dan Hanjie’s words and his story.
Biting her lip, she forced herself to focus on her work.
…
“Ah—”
Ye Mingmei was running too hastily, her heel twisted, and she fell to the ground.
Her slight body lay on the ground, and the pain made her grimace as her knee struck the tiles.
But her mind instantly cleared.
What was she even doing?
Seeing Yu Xiuzhun, why was she in such a hurry?
Going to him now, was it to ask whether he had taken action against Ye Family?
If he denied it, what could she do to him?
If he admitted it outright, what could she do to him?
In front of Yu Xiuzhun, she was never the willful lady she could be elsewhere.
Ye Mingmei picked herself up from the ground, straightened her skirt with her hand, and just as she stepped forward, her ankle throbbed painfully.
Bearing the pain, she walked back step by step.
No matter whether she went to find Yu Xiuzhun or not, it seemed like the outcome wouldn’t change.
Even though somewhere in her heart, she always hoped that it wasn’t Yu Xiuzhun who was against Ye Family.
But her wishes could never change Yu Xiuzhun, nor could they alter the big picture.
“What happened to your foot?”
Qin Youxuan saw Ye Mingmei, who looked downtrodden and was hobbling back, and stood up in surprise from in front of the surveillance area.
She walked over and helped her sit down.
“I’m fine, just twisted my ankle by accident.” Ye Mingmei bit her lip, with cold sweat already forming on her forehead.
The old her would have nestled into her parents’ arms and acted spoiled over even the slightest pain.
Now, she even endured such unbearable pain and walked back on her own.
The determination in Ye Mingmei’s eyes was heart-wrenching.
“You’ve sprained it, why didn’t you let someone pick you up? Walking back on your own, you could have made it worse.” Qin Youxuan furrowed her brows and quickly turned to instruct her assistant to fetch an ice pack.
She applied it to Ye Mingmei’s ankle.
After a while, she removed it and, seeing no swelling, let out a slight sigh of relief.
“It probably isn’t too serious, but you’d better not walk around much today. Just sit here. I saw Yu Xiuzhun enter the lobby a bit earlier; I’m worried something might happen, so I’m going to check it out. If you feel uncomfortable, don’t force yourself – let an assistant take you to the hospital for a check-up.”
Qin Youxuan noticed that Ye Mingmei didn’t respond, so she stepped out.
“Miss, let me help you to a seat up front,” the assistant approached and offered politely.
“Help me to the front of the monitor,” Ye Mingmei thought for a moment, then spoke up.
“Okay.”
The assistant stepped forward and helped Ye Mingmei to the chair, adjusting her position before stepping back.
“If the miss doesn’t have any other instructions, I’ll go down to handle things.”
“Go ahead, I’m fine,” Ye Mingmei, watching the figure of Yu Xiuzhun appearing on the surveillance screen, had a complex look in her eyes.
Her fair fingers gently lifted, touching the man’s silhouette on the monitor screen, then suddenly withdrew.
