Meng Xueyun said "Something terrible has happened" and then suddenly collapsed, which terrified Ye Zhenghua.
"Xiao Meng! What's wrong?! What happened?!"
He cried out in surprise, jumped up from the sofa, and ran towards Meng Xueyun.
The twins, who were studying in their room, ran out when they heard the noise.
"Mom! Mom! What's wrong?"
The two rushed over, helped Meng Xueyun up, and kept shaking her shoulders.
"Help him to the sofa."
Ye Zhenghua gave instructions to his two sons who had lost their composure.
Ye Linnan and Ye Linbei agreed, and together with Ye Zhenghua, they helped Meng Xueyun to sit down on the sofa.
Ye Zhenghua quickly pinched Meng Xueyun's philtrum and then asked Ye Linbei to bring in a bottle of cooling balm and apply it to Meng Xueyun's temples.
After a long struggle, Meng Xueyun finally opened her eyes, her gaze filled with confusion.
"Xiao Meng, are you alright?" Ye Zhenghua asked anxiously.
Meng Xueyun snapped out of her daze, grabbed Ye Zhenghua's arm, and tears streamed down her face.
"Old Ye, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened to Xiaohan!" she cried. "The school called and said Xiaohan has been expelled..."
"return…"
"He even went to jail!"
"What?"
Ye Zhenghua was stunned.
"Old Ye, what are we going to do!" Meng Xueyun shook Ye Zhenghua's arm, completely at a loss. "Xiaohan has already been detained once, and now she's been arrested again. Teacher Sun even said she might be sentenced. If that happens, what will become of her? Her life will be ruined!"
"What did she do this time?"
Ye Zhenghua asked irritably.
Why can't that brat just shut up for a minute?!
He was originally immersed in the joy of both of his daughters being successful. Just a couple of days ago, he was even smugly worrying about who he should side with if the two girls got into a conflict in the future.
After thinking it over for a long time, I decided that I still had to help Meng Zihan.
He certainly wouldn't admit that the ultimate reason was that Meng Zihan had latched onto a powerful figure, and he wanted to benefit from it.
His reasoning was that Meng Zihan had been raised by his side since childhood, so their relationship was deeper.
Besides, that girl is slow-witted and easy to fool. Even if there's a conflict, she can be easily coaxed back.
Ye Linchen is stubborn and not easy to talk to, but she is, after all, his own daughter. If she really dares to go against her own father and ignore him, public opinion will definitely not be on her side.
I had just made this decision when I heard the news that Meng Zihan had gotten into trouble. Not only was she expelled from school, but she was also imprisoned for the second time!
Ye Zhenghua was furious.
So, does that mean he can't even find a place to cool off?
Ye Zhenghua frowned and stared at Meng Xueyun, cursing inwardly.
Stupid thing!
Getting expelled just for trying to get close to a powerful figure—that's how much trouble they must cause!
He suddenly had a flash of inspiration: Could it be that he had offended the big tree?
"What exactly happened? Didn't the school say why Xiaohan was expelled?" Ye Zhenghua asked hurriedly.
Meng Xueyun took the tissue Ye Linbei handed her and wiped away her tears.
"Teacher Sun said Xiaohan has been absent from work for several days, but I know Xiaohan. How could she be absent from such a good job for no reason? Something must have happened, and she had no choice but to do it! Lao Ye, you have to think of a way to save Xiaohan!"
Hearing her say that, Ye Zhenghua felt even more irritated.
He brushed Meng Xueyun's hand away impatiently.
"What can I do? I'm not a god, I don't have all the supernatural powers!"
"At most, I'll call to ask where Xiaohan is being held, then go see her and ask her what's going on."
Upon hearing this, Meng Xueyun urged, "Then go and call to ask!"
Ye Zhenghua was extremely unwilling.
"Why are you in such a hurry! It's so late, everyone's asleep. Who do you want me to call? Besides, even if I get through, they might not answer me. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"No! Fight her now!" Meng Xueyun said, her eyes red and her emotions running high. "What if Xiaohan suffers injustice inside? What if she's bullied? She's never experienced hardship before. How can she bear it if something really happens to her!"
"What could possibly happen! Do you think the police station can beat people up?" Ye Zhenghua muttered impatiently.
"You're so heartless! Didn't you see what Xiaohan looked like when she came out of the detention center last time? She was so thin she was unrecognizable, and she cried in her sleep every night!"
The more Meng Xueyun spoke, the more heartbroken she became, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.
"If anything really happens to Xiaohan, I won't live either!"
Seeing Ye Zhenghua's dismissive expression, Meng Xueyun's eyes lit up, and she suddenly stood up and ran towards the balcony.
She grabbed the balcony railing and made as if she was about to jump.
"If you don't go, I'll jump off the balcony right now and end it all!"
"Mom! Don't scare me!"
"Mom! Come down here, let's talk this out!"
Ye Linnan and Ye Linbei were terrified by Meng Xueyun's actions. They rushed over, one grabbing her arm and the other hugging her waist, pulling her back with all their might.
"Don't stop me! Just let me die! What's the point of living if I'm dealing with such a heartless and ungrateful man!"
Seeing her son come up, Meng Xueyun became even more energetic and struggled to break free from the twins' pull and jump down.
Ye Zhenghua was also startled by Meng Xueyun's actions and quickly stepped forward to persuade her.
"Xiao Meng, calm down. Let's talk this out. Don't threaten to kill yourself all the time! The children are all grown up. It's not good for them to be watching!"
"I don't care! If you don't call, I'll jump!" Meng Xueyun shouted hoarsely.
