Meanwhile, on the other side.
Li Yun'er was taken to the mansion to rest, and Han Junyan called a doctor to examine her as she had fainted.
The final result truly shocked him.
He knew Meng Jingwei disliked Li Yun'er, but he never expected her to have such explosive power.
When he heard the doctor say, "That slap was too hard, it directly caused a ruptured eardrum. You'll need to take her to the hospital."
Han Junyan's brows furrowed slightly as he looked down at the woman lying on the bed.
Her face was identical to Meng Jingwei's, yet their personalities were completely different. Even standing together, their auras were worlds apart.
"I understand. You can leave now."
Han Junyan replied.
He sat in the bedroom for a while, unsure of how much time had passed.
Li Yun'er, who was lying on the bed, woke up from her faint. She moved her facial muscles, gasping in pain, "Hiss~~ It hurts…"
She reached up to cover her face, but the slightest touch on her skin sent a piercing pain through her.
Her cheek felt swollen like a bun, puffed up.
"Awake?"
Han Junyan got up and walked over, his gaze coldly appraising Li Yun'er, his expression unreadable.
Li Yun'er propped herself up with her hands on the bed. "How long was I unconscious?"
Han Junyan raised his wrist to check the time. "You were unconscious for over two hours."
Suddenly, Li Yun'er raised her hand to touch her ear, her brow furrowed. "Han Junyan, my ear, why can't I hear clearly?"
Earlier, when Han Junyan had spoken to her, Li Yun'er was worried about her face being disfigured and was lost in thought, so she hadn't paid attention.
It wasn't until Han Junyan spoke his second sentence that she belatedly realized her left ear was completely deaf.
Her face paled with fright. She raised her hand and gently patted her ear, but no matter how she tapped it, she couldn't hear anything.
"What's wrong with me? Why can't I hear? Call the doctor, quickly call the doctor for me!"
Her face was drained of color, unable to accept the reality.
Han Junyan, however, stood by calmly and said, "I already called the doctor. He said your left ear is now deaf."
Actually, Han Junyan had his own motives.
Whether in the past or present, his feelings for Meng Jingwei had not changed.
He admired and liked her.
But because he was bound by circumstances and couldn't stay by Meng Jingwei's side, he also truly couldn't tolerate Li Yun'er's repeated recklessness.
This time, it was considered a lesson for her.
"Impossible, how could this be! It was just one slap, how could I be deaf? It's impossible."
Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, she was so frightened. Excitedly, she threw off the covers and ran out.
But Han Junyan firmly gripped her arm. "You don't believe me?"
"Let go, release me, let go!"
Li Yun'er struggled against his grip, but Han Junyan held on too tightly for her to break free.
She screamed hysterically, "Let go of my hand, I want to see a doctor. I can't be deaf, I can't!"
A deaf person was considered half disabled.
Li Yun'er couldn't accept a physiological defect.
Especially with one ear deaf, her hearing was unclear, and she even experienced tinnitus in her left ear.
The feeling was like someone cupping their ear tightly, with a faint buzzing sound, extremely uncomfortable.
"If you go to the hospital now, it's equivalent to telling the outside world that you are deaf. If people find out, what value do you think you'll have left?"
Han Junyan said very calmly, "The Hidden Clan will not accept a handicapped Hidden Lord. If you can't compete for the position of Hidden Lord, you will be a discard!"
