Upon hearing the emcee's words, the crowd immediately began to whisper among themselves, speculating about what Ye Nanqing was going to announce and why he had asked Ji Fuling to go on stage.

Everyone was filled with curiosity and waiting for Ji Fuling to appear, but she didn't show up for a long time.

Mu Xinghe looked around, scratching his head, "Strange, where did my sister-in-law go? Nan Qing is waiting to propose to her, why did she disappear at this crucial moment?"

Gu Liao glanced at where Ji Fuling had just been and guessed, "Could she have gone to the restroom?"

"Possibly."

After a pause, Mu Xinghe suggested, "How about this, if my sister-in-law doesn't show up in two minutes, we'll go look for her."

Gu Liao nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Ji Fuling had already arrived on the second floor.

Ji Xinqi stood at the top of the stairs and stopped her when she saw her coming up.

Ji Fuling glanced at her expressionlessly, "A good dog doesn't block the way."

Ji Xinqi, unusually, didn't immediately jump up in anger. Instead, a sinister smile appeared on her face. "Ji Fuling, do you remember? I told you I would make you regret how you treated me before!"

Ever since that bitch Ji Fuling returned to Yuncheng, nothing has gone her way.

His wedding was ruined, he was arrested and detained by the police, he was bitten by wolves and covered in wounds, and he was beaten by this bitch several times.

She's going to get all the revenge she owes today!

Ji Fuling, too lazy to waste words, walked past Ji Xinqi and was about to leave.

Ji Xinqi reached out to stop her again, her gaze on her as venomous and sinister as she said, "No need to look anymore. Old Madam Ye didn't look for you at all. I had someone trick you into coming here."

What she was about to do was to both get rid of the child in her womb and frame Ji Fuling, killing two birds with one stone.

Although there were certain risks involved, she couldn't care less about that now!

In short, success or failure hinges on this!

"You know perfectly well what kind of occasion this is. You'd better not cause trouble, otherwise..."

"ah--"

Ji Fuling was interrupted by Ji Xinqi's sudden scream halfway through her sentence.

At the same time, she watched as Ji Xinqi fell backward without hesitation, tumbling down the stairs with a "plop".

"Neuropathy!"

Ji Fuling frowned and cursed under her breath.

She could tell at a glance what Ji Xinqi was up to.

This lunatic was willing to risk his life just to slander her.

Hearing the commotion, the people downstairs all turned their attention to the source of the sound.

Ji Xinqi tumbled down the stairs, screaming and yelling, "Ji Fuling... it was Ji Fuling... Ji Fuling pushed me down..."

This scene caused an uproar at the scene.

Media reporters swarmed forward, and the long lenses and microphones originally used to record the grand occasion of the annual meeting were now all aimed at Ji Xinqi.

Ji Xinqi fell to the ground, blood gushing from between her legs. Her head, face, and limbs were covered in bruises and contusions, and she was in so much pain that her face turned pale and her expression became ferocious and distorted.

She knew that rolling down like that would definitely cause injury, but she never expected it to be this serious.

At that moment, she regretted it, she was extremely regretful.

If she had known earlier, she would have definitely thought of another way.

It hurt so much, it felt like she was going to die!

When He Wenxiu saw her beloved daughter lying in a pool of blood, she turned pale with fright. She immediately rushed over, knelt down, and hugged her tightly. "Qiqi! My Qiqi! What happened to you? Don't scare me!"

Upon hearing the news, Ji Xiangzhong rushed over and saw the scene. His face turned extremely pale, and he even forgot to take out his phone to make a call. He just shouted in shock, "Call 120! Quick!!"

Standing on the platform, Ye Nanqing stared intently at the stairwell that had instantly become crowded with people, a deep, dark look rising in his eyes.

He strode over there and instructed Chen Heng in a deep voice, "Have Gu Liao contact the hospital and call an ambulance. Tell him to arrange for manpower and to do the DNA test later."

"Also, bring the documents you obtained earlier to the hospital..."

"Yes, Mr. Ye, I'll take care of it right away!"

Chen Heng responded respectfully and then hurriedly walked away.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Old Master Ye immediately ordered his butler, Aqi, to lead a group of people to evacuate the guests, including the media reporters present.

"Mom...it was Ji Fuling...she pushed me down the stairs, she wanted to kill me and the baby in my belly..."

Ji Xinqi, half-held by He Wenxiu, was barely breathing, but she still couldn't resist throwing mud at Ji Fuling.

Ji Fuling stood at the top of the stairs on the second floor, looking down at this scene, and couldn't help but curl her red lips into a sarcastic sneer.

This lunatic is half-dead, yet he's still so "strong," it's truly "inspiring."

He Wenxiu was heartbroken to see her daughter in such a dying state.

She suddenly looked up at Ji Fuling upstairs and roared furiously, "Ji Fuling, you vicious woman! How could you do such a thing to Qiqi? You are a murderer! You wait, I will never forgive you!"

Ji Fuling remained aloof, as if it were none of her business, and continued walking down the street at a leisurely pace.

Ji Xiangzhong's face was ashen as he suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth as he said, word by word, "Fuling, I don't know what happened between you and Qiqi, but you are cousins ​​after all, related by blood. Why did you want to kill her?"

Cousins?

Blood relation?

When these things were mentioned, Ji Fuling found them all laughable.

When Ji Xinqi plotted against her, did she ever consider these things?

Whenever she thinks back to what happened back then, she really wishes she could just kill Ji Xinqi.

She would never take the blame for something she didn't do.

Ji Fuling glanced indifferently at Ji Xinqi, who was covered in blood, and her red lips moved slightly. "She rolled down by herself. I didn't even touch her."

"Pah! You think we're fools!"

He Wenxiu glared fiercely at Ji Fuling, gritting her teeth, "Rolling down such a high staircase by herself?! Who would believe such a lie!"

I believe you.

A deep, cold voice suddenly rang out.

The next second, Ji Fuling was embraced by a large hand and fell into a familiar and warm embrace.

She looked up and met Ye Nanqing's gaze.

His deep black eyes were now full of reassurance, as if telling her not to worry, he would handle everything.

In that instant, Ji Fuling felt a sense of peace she had never felt before.

Grandpa Ji, who was being helped over by Uncle Lu, happened to overhear this conversation and immediately said decisively, "I also believe that if Fuling says there is no Fuling, then there is no Fuling."

He Wenxiu was so angry her eyes were about to burst. "Dad! It's one thing for you to be biased all the time, but now that Qiqi is so badly injured and almost dead, you're still favoring Ji Fuling. Don't you think you've gone too far and are too hateful?!"

"Enough!"

Ji Xiangzhong shouted angrily, "Qiqi is already like this, what are you still arguing about? The most important thing is to get Qiqi to the hospital first!"

Ji Xinqi struggled to lift her hand, grabbed He Wenxiu's clothes, and said weakly and intermittently, "Mom...we must go to that...that private hospital called Tai'an...I, I've made all the arrangements...going to any other hospital won't work...it will...it will kill people..."

"Okay! Mom got it!"

As soon as He Wenxiu finished speaking, Ji Xinqi's vision went black and she fainted.
