With a 'smack', a clean and crisp slap landed on Xi Leng's face.
Xi Leng's pupils dilated, his face filled with shock.
Five clear finger marks appeared on his previously bloodless face.
"Song Beiye, you hit me."
Xi Leng covered her face and said in a tearful voice, "Even if my people shouldn't have pushed her down the steps, you can't treat me like this. Although I'm not a member of your Song family, my name is in the Song family genealogy. Whether you acknowledge me or not, I'm still your sister."
Song Beiye took two steps back in disgust:
"Pah, I don't have a sister like you."
When Song Bocheng adopted her, it was partly out of consideration for their old friendship, and partly because the Song family consisted entirely of men, with no girls among them.
She had wanted to adopt a little girl and pamper her, but ten years ago, Xi Leng's heart was completely devoted to Huo Chenyu.
Over the years, I've watched her thrive abroad, and I thought she had made some progress. But I never expected that once she returned to China, she would turn out to be a hopeless romantic again.
All those years of investment by the Song family have been wasted.
"Fine, since you don't acknowledge me as your sister, then don't blame me for no longer treating you as my brother. Originally, I just wanted to scare you a little. I know you only feel guilty towards Song Nanzhou in this life, so for your sake, I won't do anything to Song Nanzhou's people. Now that you're not my brother anymore, I don't need to care about you anymore."
ridiculous.
Song Beiye leaned closer, and Xi Leng subconsciously tilted her head back:
"Song Beiye, you still want to hit me?"
Song Beiye's lips curled into a smile:
“That slap just now was for your uncle. He raised you with great care over the years, nurturing you into a successful person. He not only has no prejudice against you, but he also spares no effort to hand over Dong Song to you. Do you know why he did this?”
Xi Leng lowered his head.
"He just wanted to support you and let Huo Chenyu know that you, Song Xiling, are not the kind of cheap woman who clings to him. But you are hopeless. I remember Xiaoyu told you that you should focus your efforts overseas and live a glorious life, instead of coming back to China to be a love-struck, jealous woman. But you just wouldn't listen."
Mentioning his younger brother made Song Beiye even more heartbroken.
Song Xi coldly spat:
"He's just afraid I'll come back and take over your power. Do you really think he's doing this for my own good? He's just like you; he doesn't acknowledge me as his older sister at all."
Song Beiye was so angry that his veins bulged, and he raised his fist, but he didn't strike.
"What? You know you're in the wrong, so you don't dare hit me anymore?"
Xi Leng provocatively said.
Song Beiye gritted his teeth and endured it:
“If Xiao Yu were still alive, he would definitely protect you, his older sister. For Xiao Yu’s sake, I will not slap you.”
Sirloin, relieved, still couldn't hold back his sharp tongue:
"Hehe, I've finally seen through you. It's one thing that I, your adopted sister, don't even count in your eyes, but it turns out that in your heart, even your own brother is not as important as that bitch Tang Li."
The words "cheap slut" stepped right into Song Beiyu's minefield.
Almost without giving Xi Leng any chance to resist or react, Xi Leng let out a scream. The nurse who was making her evening rounds happened to be in the next room and, hearing the scream, immediately ran over. After examining him, she looked at Song Beiye, who was radiating a murderous aura, with some fear and said:
"She broke her wrist."
Song Beiye saw the nurse about to press the call button and stopped her, saying:
"Go and find a doctor."
The nurse was a little afraid of him, and since Xi Leng also told her to go out first, the nurse hurriedly went to find the hospital to check.
In the ward, Xi Leng laughed despite the excruciating pain:
"See? You can't control your words and actions the moment you hear that bitch Tang Li's name." Before the words were even finished, Song Beiye stepped forward, and Xi Leng roared:
"Song Beiye, you..."
Fortunately, the nurses and doctors arrived in time; otherwise, the other dislocated hand might have also been lost.
The doctor walked in and asked angrily:
"What's going on? This is a hospital, not a place for you to make a scene and fight."
Judging from the doctor's expression, he probably thought Song Beiye was a domestic abuser.
Just then, there was a knock on the ward door, and two people in police uniforms walked in and asked:
"Excuse me, which one of you is Miss Song?"
Xi Leng tried to raise his hand, only to find that neither of them could move.
She could only hum in response:
"I am."
One of the men in police uniform stepped forward:
"Ms. Song, we received your report that someone assaulted you, right?"
Xi Leng was about to say yes, but someone beat him to it:
"Xileng, how can you be so careless? You can even trip and fall while walking."
The sound came from outside the door; it was Song Bocheng who had arrived.
The nurse was about to speak up for Xiling when the doctor glared at her.
Upon seeing his adoptive father arrive, Xi Leng choked up instantly:
"Dad, it's Song Beiye..."
Song Bocheng gave her a meaningful look, then patted Song Beiye on the shoulder and said:
"Xiao Ye, thank you for bringing Xi Leng to the hospital. I'll take care of things here. You can go back to your work."
Song Beiye sneered and asked in return:
"Xi Leng, do you really need me to keep you company?"
Before Xi Leng could speak, Song Bocheng had already apologized to the police: "I'm really sorry. I just checked the surveillance video, and it was indeed my daughter who accidentally fell. Yesterday was a rare family reunion for the Song family. She had just returned to the country and was so happy that she drank a few too many drinks. I'm sorry for the trouble."
The police looked at Xi Leng. Xi Leng didn't know what Song Bocheng meant, but he repeatedly emphasized that she had fallen on her own, so Xi Leng didn't dare to say anything and could only try to deny it:
"Sorry, I might have had too much to drink."
