“……Ou Minghan has a half-sister, and you don't want to know that their relationship is anything but simple?!” Zhou Chengyuan yelled, his voice hoarse.
Ye Zhi acted as if she hadn't heard him, walking away without looking back. Did she not know about this? She was a woman who had read the script, she knew it all too well!
Without giving him a chance to speak, Ye Zhi left directly.
But as soon as she walked out of the police station, she received a call from Liu Lingyu. She pressed the answer button and immediately heard Liu Lingyu's flustered voice.
“Xiao Zhi, your sister fainted and was hospitalized. Can you come over?”
Ye Zhi was slightly stunned. She couldn't help but ask, “Mom, what happened to Qinya?”
Liu Lingyu said worriedly, “I don’t know. The doctor said she fainted due to low blood sugar. I’m so worried there might be another reason…”
Low blood sugar…
Ye Zhi was somewhat speechless. To be hospitalized for such a reason, she really didn’t know what to say.
Liu Lingyu hesitated and continued, “She hasn’t had much appetite these past few days, and she hasn’t eaten much. Do you think she might be pregnant but is afraid to tell me? I haven’t dared to tell your father, so I could only call you.”
Ye Zhi’s lips twitched. Her mother’s imagination was too vivid. She was quite sure that Ye Qinya shouldn’t be pregnant at this time. However, even if she comforted Liu Lingyu now, it probably wouldn’t help much.
“Mom, don’t overthink it. I’ll be there immediately,” Ye Zhi said calmly. “Pregnancy isn’t a bad thing, Qinya doesn’t need to hide it from you. I’ll ask her for you first and confirm if she’s pregnant.”
Liu Lingyu finally felt relieved and hung up the phone.
Ye Zhi rushed to the hospital. Upon arrival, she found only Liu Lingyu there.
“Mom, where’s Qinya?” Ye Zhi asked in confusion.
“Oh, she just woke up and said she has a friend here too. She said she wanted to visit her friend and didn’t want me to follow,” Liu Lingyu said.
Ye Zhi: “...Then it seems her condition isn’t serious. Did you ask about the pregnancy?”
“I didn’t dare to ask…” Liu Lingyu sighed.
“Alright then, Mom, I’ll go find her and ask about the situation,” Ye Zhi said.
“Okay,” Liu Lingyu instructed with concern, “remember to be tactful!”
Ye Zhi agreed.
After leaving the ward, Ye Zhi went to the VIP ward area upstairs. Unfortunately, Liu Lingyu only knew that Ye Qinya had gone upstairs, but not which specific room she went to.
Ye Zhi took out her phone, about to call Ye Qinya, when she saw Ye Qinya running out of the elevator holding a cup of milk tea, looking flustered.
“Ye Qinya,” Ye Zhi frowned slightly and called out to her, “where are you going?”
“Ah… Sis, what are you doing here?” Ye Qinya was startled, and then her expression became somewhat unnatural.
“Of course, I’m here to see you,” Ye Zhi asked sternly, “What about you?”
“I, I just came to see a friend. She said she really wanted to drink milk tea, so I went downstairs to buy it for her…” Ye Qinya explained softly.
“Which room is your friend in?” Ye Zhi asked.
“Just that one up ahead.” Ye Qinya pointed casually. Suddenly, Ye Qinya showed a pained expression. She thrust the milk tea into Ye Zhi’s hand, “Sis, hold this for me. I need to go to the restroom.”
Ye Qinya hurried towards the restroom. Ye Zhi looked at the milk tea, filled with plenty of fruit toppings. She walked to the door of the room, only to find it slightly ajar. She instinctively raised her hand.
A tearful voice came from inside, “Brother, don’t ask anymore. I don’t want to make you unhappy because of me…”
“No! You have to tell me! Who hit your face?!”
An angry voice blared out. Ye Zhi was slightly startled. This voice sounded familiar.
But before she could react, the door in front of her was pushed open.
Ye Zhi looked up. A beautiful woman with a clear face sat on the hospital bed, her face covered in tear tracks. There was a red mark on her face, as if she had been hit. And the man beside her was none other than Ou Minghan!
So, this was Ou Minghan’s half-sister, Ou Tiantian’s room?
Both of them heard the commotion at the door. They looked over simultaneously. The woman pointed directly at Ye Zhi, “Brother, she’s the one who hit me!”
Ye Zhi: …
Damn it!
She hadn’t expected to run into them so soon after not listening to Zhou Chengyuan talk about Ou Minghan’s troublesome affairs!
In a blink of an eye, she figured out the whole situation.
Presumably, Ye Qinya’s so-called visit to a friend was to see Ou Tiantian. Ou Tiantian was the main villainess in the original novel. She was sickly, obsessed with her brother, and harbored unrequited love for him, thus constantly plotting and tormenting Ye Qinya. xxs壹贰
And the current scene was clearly a clumsy, cliché setup for a dramatic accusation. Ou Tiantian, seeing Ye Qinya, whom she disliked the most, found an excuse to send Ye Qinya away, then slapped herself, and called Ou Minghan to cry to him.
When Ou Minghan saw his sister being hit, he would naturally be enraged and want to avenge her. At this moment, Ye Qinya would happen to return, thus taking the brunt of Ou Minghan’s anger.
Unfortunately, this melodramatic script had an unexpected turn.
It wasn't Ye Qinya who arrived, but Ye Zhi.
Ou Tiantian was also stunned. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Ou Minghan beside her, his face full of rage.
“Ye Zhi! It’s one thing that you made things difficult for me, but you even dare to hit my sister! Even if you are Qinya’s sister, I will absolutely not let you off today!”
Saying that, his eyes reddened, and he strode towards Ye Zhi!
Ou Tiantian, standing to the side, wanted to explain, but upon hearing the words “Qinya’s sister,” she immediately curled her lips into a cold smile and put on a posture of watching a show.
Ye Zhi’s expression tensed. She had known Ou Minghan had violent tendencies for a long time. She didn’t expect this mad dog to act out so soon!
The next moment, without hesitation, she threw the milk tea in her hand at Ou Minghan’s face!
Ou Minghan disdainfully waved his hand, the lid separating. The milk tea inside instantly splashed all over him.
Ou Minghan instinctively closed his eyes. Ye Zhi’s face darkened. She accelerated, then swiftly raised her leg, using her eight-centimeter stiletto heel to kick Ou Minghan’s abdomen with all her might!
“Oh—” Ou Minghan cried out halfway, then curled up on the ground, clutching his stomach and breaking out in a cold sweat.
Ye Zhi had been on high alert the entire time. This strike was also ruthless because she knew that if she didn’t give it her all, she would be the one lying down afterward.
Ou Tiantian, who had been watching the show, was dumbfounded. The next moment, she fearfully recoiled and then screamed wildly, “Ah—”
