Yu Wanling's shrill screams made Lan Ruishan's heart skip a beat.
Although he did not approve of his son getting involved with Yu Wanling, Yu Wanling was still useful to Du Zhiyuan, and he couldn't let her cause any harm to him.
Lan Ruishan looked over with concern, and Lan Mingxuan happened to be holding Yu Wanling's wrist, moving her hand away with a look of heartache.
A bright red gash was exposed to their view.
Although it looks long, the wound is not deep; it only scratches the surface of the skin. With proper treatment, it probably won't even leave a scar.
Lan Ruishan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his dissatisfaction with Yu Wanling grew even stronger.
The screams that nearly ripped the roof off sounded like her carotid artery had been severed.
"Mingxuan, my face...is my face ruined...?"
Yu Wanling's tears flowed uncontrollably, and her trembling sobs broke Lan Mingxuan's heart.
"I'm sorry, my dad didn't mean it. It's okay, Wanling. I'll find you the best scar removal cream, I promise I won't let you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Wanling, incredulous and with a hint of resentment, shook off his grip on her wrist.
"No!"
She's disfigured, and he just casually says it wasn't intentional?
She glared resentfully at Lan Ruishan, who was sitting there as if nothing had happened, not taking her injury seriously at all.
This scene stung Yu Wanling's eyes even more. How could she be so unfair?!
Just because she's a doctor without any family connections?
Does that mean he can do whatever he wants and trample on her at will?
"He did it on purpose!"
Yu Wanling pointed at Lan Ruishan and roared through gritted teeth:
"He deliberately tried to ruin my face so that you wouldn't be with me! His despicable intentions are obvious, and you're still defending him!"
"Wanling!"
Lan Mingxuan was quite frightened by Yu Wanling's behavior and quickly stopped her.
The consequences of her speaking to his father in that tone are something he can't afford.
Lan Mingxuan grabbed Yu Wanling's wrist again, pulling her outstretched hand back, and comforted her:
"I'll take you to get your wound treated first."
Before Yu Wanling could speak, Lan Ruishan slowly looked up at Lan Mingxuan, his eyes carrying a hint of threat.
"It seems you haven't understood what I meant."
"Dad, she was injured. I just took her to get her wound treated, that's all."
Lan Mingxuan was anxious to explain, thinking that he should first calm down the argument and then find a way to ease the tension between the two.
One is his family whom he relies on, and the other is the woman he deeply loves; he hopes they can get along peacefully.
But Yu Wanling was not in a calm state of mind to think things through. Upon hearing Lan Mingxuan's answer, she seemed determined to fight Lan Ruishan to the end, clinging to Lan Mingxuan and refusing to let go.
"You mean we have no relationship anymore?"
Caught in the middle, pulled in opposite directions, Lan Mingxuan was in a difficult position. He shook Yu Wanling's wrist, trying to signal her with his eyes.
"Wanling~"
Upon seeing this, Yu Wanling understood his choice, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
"coward!"
Lan Mingxuan blushed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
First Lu Jin'an rejected her, and now Lan Mingxuan abandoned her; Yu Wanling's resentment reached its peak.
She gave up, continuing to scorn Lan Mingxuan, trying to vent her anger through words.
"That's right. Without the Lan family, what are you? Utterly useless trash. Did you really think I liked you?"
Lan Mingxuan looked at her incredulously, and after a moment of stunned silence, he tried to see from her face that these words were not what she really thought.
But to everyone's surprise, that didn't happen.
Yu Wanling's words, "sincere and heartfelt," seemed to come from the bottom of her heart.
"Ha, can't believe it?"
Seeing the injured expression on Lan Mingxuan's face, Yu Wanling felt a surge of satisfaction and wanted to continue speaking.
Lan Ruishan, who was sitting there, lost his temper. He wouldn't allow anyone to insult his Lan family so brazenly. He slammed his hand on the sofa armrest and shouted angrily.
"Get out!"
The pear wood armrest was instantly smashed into a pile of fragments. Just before the sofa was about to collapse, Lan Ruishan stood up, staring at Yu Wanling with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire, his whole body radiating anger.
Yu Wanling trembled in fright. This was a strength-type ability user; she couldn't afford to offend her. Remembering she still had her system, she forced a calm snort.
"Hmph, I'm now one of Chief Du's men. One day you'll regret this."
Lan Ruishan, of course, understood what she meant. If she weren't still useful to Du Zhiyuan, he wouldn't have let her stand here unharmed.
"Get out. Don't make me say it a second time. We don't care who you are, the Lan family doesn't welcome you."
Yu Wanling stomped her foot and turned away angrily.
As the crisp clicking of her high heels faded into the distance, the dejected Lan Mingxuan slowly withdrew his gaze, bowing his head in self-reproach before Lan Ruishan.
"Dad, I'm sorry."
"Hmph." All I do is cause him trouble.
Lan Ruishan gave a disdainful snort, turned aside, and sat down in a better spot.
"A woman like that, if she were to enter the Lan family, would never have a moment's peace."
This time, Lan Mingxuan pursed his lips, not refuting, but asked with some concern:
"What about Du Zhiyuan?"
Seeing that he still remembered this, Lan Ruishan felt a little more relieved. It seemed he wasn't beyond redemption. His tone softened, and he calmly said:
"Don't worry, the Lan family is still useful to him."
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the support of the Lan family, what would Du Zhiyuan have to compete with the Lu family?
