The moment she woke up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“Xiyuan, thank goodness you’re okay.” Lin Wanqin wiped a tear from the corner of her eye and said, “If something had really happened to you, I wouldn’t know what to do.’
“Mom, I’m fine. It was just an accident,” Ye Xiyuan said, forcing a smile. “I’m fortunate; nothing serious will happen.”
Despite the smile on her face, her eyes betrayed a coldness. Faced with her family again after the recent incident, she felt no warmth.
When the threat of death loomed, her so-called family had remained passive.
It became clear that in the future, she needed to prioritize her own well-being.
Unaware of Ye Xiyuan’s thoughts, Lin Wanqin’s expression turned serious.
“This wasn’t an accident. Li Qiaomeng really repaid kindness with ingratitude.
If it weren’t for our help, she wouldn’t have been released from detention. Now that she’s out, she treats you like this.”
Observing Ye Xiyuan’s pallor, Lin Wanqin’s concern deepened. The doctor had warned that Xiyuan’s condition would have been perilous if they had been any later. Despite this, Xiyuan needed extensive recovery.
“Alright, let’s not talk about it,” Ye Li intervened, urging, “Xiyuan just woke up. Don’t bring up unpleasant matters. Let her rest. The police will come to take statements later.’
“Why are they coming when Xiyuan just woke up?” Lin Wanqin frowned.
“Where were they when we saved them earlier?”
“Enough of these gloomy words,” Ye Li said, patting Lin Wanqin’s shoulder. “Recording statements earlier is good. It expedites Li Qiaomengs conviction.
Don’t you want to see her punished?”
Lin Wanqin fell silent at Ye Li’s persuasion.
Ye Anyun stepped forward, expressing guilt. “Xiyuan, I’m sorry. This happened because of me.”
He believed that if he hadn’t insisted on rescuing Li Qiaomeng, Xiyuan wouldn’t have been in this situation. Moreover, Xiyuan had helped him by speaking well of him to their father. Yet, Li Qiaomeng had treated Xiyuan this way, almost costing her life.
“Brother, this has nothing to do with you.” Ye Xiyuan wanted to shake her head but winced at the pain in her neck. “Who would have thought Li Qiaomeng would be like this!”
“Anyun, be more cautious in the future,” Ye Li advised sternly. “And your future wife will need our approval. The importance of matching families is evident from this incident.’
Though reluctant, Ye Anyun nodded. This incident had genuinely frightened him.
He had believed he found a good girlfriend, only to discover her vanity. She even used someone else’s house as a major asset and now held his sister hostage.
In the future, he realized he needed a girlfriend of equal social standing. At the very least, those well-educated girls wouldn’t do such things.
Meanwhile, Ye Leng’an informed Huangfu Ruiling about the incident.
“Ye Xiyuan helped Li Qiaomeng escape,” Huangfu Ruiling said, a cold gleam in his eyes. “So, everything she’s experiencing today is self-inflicted.”
“Hehe, Ye Xiyuan probably didn’t expect Li Qiaomeng to be this insane!” Ye
Lengan chuckled. “Moreover, Li Qiaomengs stab was remarkably accurate!” Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow.
“Ye Xiyuan probably hasn’t realized it yet!” Ye Lengan continued with a sly smile. “When Li Qiaomeng stabbed Xiyuan’s arm, she hit a nerve. It wasn’t severed but injured. I doubt the hospital has discovered it yet. Even if they have, there’s little they can do. Repairing the damaged nerve won’t be easy.”
She had already noticed this when Li Qiaomeng stabbed. However, since it didn’t concern her, she remained silent. Even if she spoke up, the Ye family likely wouldn’t believe her; they might think she was kicking Ye Xiyuan when she was down.
“So, Ye Xiyuan will be left with a disability!” Huangfu Ruiling remarked pointedly.
“Yes,” Ye Lengan affirmed. “But if she finds a skilled doctor, maybe from the Hidden World, there might be a chance to cure her. I’m not talking about worldly doctors; the Hidden World has its own ways. Ordinary methods won’t suffice.’
Huangfu Ruiling nodded, silently vowing not to let Ye Xiyuan have the opportunity to seek help from the Hidden World.
“Now that this has happened, taking leave should be easier!” Ye Lengan abruptly changed the subject. “I’ll tell the principal I need a break to adjust my mood.’
Amused by Ye Leng’an’s insincere excuse, Huangfu Ruiling couldn’t help but laugh. “Are you sure the principal will agree to that?”
“He will.” Ye Lengan nodded. “I think the principal probably believes I have an accident-prone constitution. Staying at home should be better than going to school.’
Huangfu Ruiling chuckled at Ye Leng’an’s seriousness.
“Ruiling, since this has happened, let’s go to the Hidden World soon,” Ye Lengan suggested. “This matter should conclude in a few days. Let’s head to the Hidden World then! I can finally understand what the Hidden World is like.”
Huangfu Ruiling didn’t oppose the suggestion, nodding. “Alright, I’ll make arrangements. We’ll leave for the Hidden World in a week.”
After a week, this matter should be settled. Even if it wasn’t, Huangfu Ruiling was determined to bring it to a close.
“Okay,” Ye Lengan agreed, suddenly changing the topic.. “By the way, how’s Li Yiran? Will Huangfu Ruixiang also join us when the time comes?”
