“Shut up!” Ye Zhi shot her a cold glare.
Ou Tiantian’s scream was abruptly cut off. She stared at Ye Zhi in terror and said weakly, “You, you dare to lay hands on my brother? Do you know who my brother is?!”
“I know!” Ye Zhi sneered. “Your brother is a mad dog!”
Ou Tiantian was speechless, her face flushing with anger. “I, I’m going to call the police and have you arrested!”
“Be my guest!” Ye Zhi’s smile widened. “I’m sure the police will easily uncover such a simple truth. Speaking of which, your brother, this new darling of the capital, was taken down by me, a mere woman, in one move. If this gets out, who will be more embarrassed, me or him?”
“You, you…” Ou Tiantian was furious, but facing Ye Zhi’s icy gaze, her words all retreated from her heart.
“You just said I hit you?” Ye Zhi strode towards her.
“I…” Ou Tiantian opened her mouth several times. Seeing Ye Zhi approaching, she cried out in fear, “Brother, save me!”
But Ye Zhi stopped at Ou Minghan’s side. Ou Minghan had recovered somewhat, but he was still weak all over.
Ye Zhi looked at Ou Minghan, whose head was covered in boba and toppings, with disgust. She grabbed his bow tie and pulled his upper body upright.
“Ou Minghan, watch this!”
Ye Zhi took a deep breath and raised her palm!
“Slap–!”
She hit Ou Minghan hard in the face. Ou Minghan felt half his face go numb!
“Ah–” Another scream echoed, followed by Ye Qin Ya’s voice from the doorway, “Sister, what are you doing? Minghan, Minghan, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me!”
Then, she rushed to Ou Minghan’s side and supported him.
Ye Zhi took the opportunity to let go, daintily pulling out a tissue to wipe her hands.
Looking at Ou Minghan, who was almost recovered, she said coldly, “Do you understand now? I’m not here to put makeup on your sister, so how could I leave such a light mark on her face? If I were to take action…”
Ye Zhi’s gaze flickered to Ou Tiantian on the hospital bed. Ou Tiantian instinctively flinched back.
“I’d knock out your teeth!” Ye Zhi said sternly, making Ou Tiantian tremble in fear.
“Sister, why did you hit Minghan?” Ye Qin Ya’s eyes welled up with tears. She helped Ou Minghan sit on a chair and used a tissue to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. “Apologize to Minghan quickly. As long as you apologize, Minghan definitely won’t pursue it…”
Ye Zhi’s blood pressure instantly shot up. What kind of idiotic teammate was this!
She took a deep breath and said impatiently, “Why don’t you call the police then!”
Ye Qin Ya was immediately choked into silence.
Ye Zhi remembered the purpose of her visit and said coldly, “Ye Qin Ya, are you pregnant?”
As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the three people in the ward changed drastically. Ou Tiantian’s eyes were filled with hatred, as if they could spit fire! Ou Minghan’s expression was complex. He had recovered his senses and looked at Ye Qin Ya displeasedly, “Why didn’t you take the morning-after pill? Were you lying to me?”
“I didn’t lie to you! I took it every time!” Ye Qin Ya said hurriedly. She turned to Ye Zhi, “Sister, what are you talking nonsense about? I’m not pregnant…”
“Ye Qin Ya, you wicked woman!” Ou Tiantian interrupted her angrily. “You bought that cup of milk tea, didn’t you? You knew I was allergic to mangoes and couldn’t drink anything cold, yet you still bought me milk tea with mangoes. Were you trying to kill me!”
“This… Tiantian, I didn’t know! Didn’t you say you wanted to add all the fruit toppings?”
“Stop making excuses! What do you mean you didn’t know? You were trying to kill me! And you let that f… woman beat up my brother. I think you’re trying to kill us siblings so you can take over our Ou family’s fortune!”
Seeing the two of them squabbling, Ye Zhi was utterly speechless. It seemed the previous cliché of a framing plot had a second half, and that cup of milk tea was an important prop?
It appeared that the news of Ye Qin Ya’s ‘pregnancy’ had caused Ou Tiantian to completely lose her composure, and she had picked up the discarded milk tea as a weapon.
“All of you, shut up!” Ye Zhi commanded impatiently.
The two women immediately became as quiet as mice, startled by her. Ye Zhi looked at Ye Qin Ya, “Go get a check-up later and bring the results to Mom.”
“Okay…” Ye Qin Ya replied softly.
Ye Zhi glanced at them coldly and turned to leave.
After leaving the ward, Ye Zhi glanced back. Seeing that Ye Qin Ya wasn’t following, she quickly raised her right hand and shook it vigorously, then panted as she blew on it.
When she slapped Ou Minghan earlier, she had put a lot of force into it. Who knew Ou Minghan’s skin was so thick that her hand went numb from the impact!
Indeed, the force was reciprocal. Her hand was still trembling after the slap, but fearing they would notice, she had to pretend nothing was wrong.
However, she really needed to consider her safety.
This time was purely by luck. Because she knew how serious Ou Minghan’s violent tendencies were, she had immediately been on guard when she saw him. xxs1
Moreover, although Ou Minghan had intended to attack her at the time, he hadn’t been very defensive against her. After all, when Ou Minghan used to hit women, none of them dared to resist.
But if there was a next time, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.
It seemed she needed to find a way to carry an electric baton or a stun gun with her. A tranquilizer gun could also be considered.
Ye Zhi descended the stairs while contemplating weapons.
As for the battle between Ye Qin Ya and Ou Tiantian, whoever lost or won was their business! Her blood pressure was too high, and she didn’t want to deal with it, finding their bickering annoying.
At this moment, in the ward, Ou Tiantian was still arguing with Ye Qin Ya, or rather, Ou Tiantian was one-sidedly berating Ye Qin Ya.
Ou Minghan was almost driven mad by them. He couldn’t help but say, “Enough! Both of you, shut up!”
“Minghan, are you alright?”
“Brother, are you feeling better?”
Both women said joyfully, which made Ou Minghan’s expression a little unnatural.
In fact, he had already recovered after Ye Zhi slapped him. But first, he had been kicked to the ground by a woman, then slapped, and all of it witnessed by the two women closest to him. At that moment, he had wished he could die, after all, he was the high and mighty Ou Minghan. When had he ever been so pathetic?
He had always been the one hitting others, but he never expected to be hit by a woman, and taken down in one move! How embarrassing would that be if it got out?
“None of you are to speak of what happened today!” Ou Minghan gritted out.
The two women hurriedly agreed. Ou Tiantian began to cry, “Brother, Ye Qin Ya wanted to harm me by making me allergic with this method. You can’t just ignore this!”
“I didn’t…” Ye Qin Ya said aggrievedly.
