Ye Huanhuan stared intently at Ye Ru, who was lying on the hospital bed feigning pitifulness, and said coldly:
"Ye Ru, your ability to say one thing to someone's face and another behind their back is truly astounding!"
Ye Ru's face stiffened, her expression turning even more aggrieved, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes. She choked out, "..."
"Huanhuan, what are you saying? Do you hate me that much? When I came back from Y country, I brought you a gift and took you to buy so many clothes and bags. Wasn't I good to you?"
As she spoke, Ye Ru became increasingly agitated, tears streaming down her cheeks, making her appear exceptionally pitiful.
"At the family reunion banquet, you suspected me of doing what happened, and I don't blame you. But what happened after that? On my first day at S University, you deliberately made me late, and I didn't blame you then either. At school, to prevent you from being bullied, I even transferred to the Business Management Department to become your substitute teacher. I know you've never liked me, but I never intended to hurt you. I just hoped we could get along well and become true sisters... But what about you?"
By the end, Ye Ru was sobbing uncontrollably, as if she had suffered a tremendous injustice.
"You not only hit me and pushed me, but you also threatened me, telling me to get out of the Ye family. I'm so heartbroken. How could you do this to me? Mom and Dad, I don't want to leave you, and I don't want to leave the Ye family. I know I can't compare to Huanhuan; she's your biological daughter. But I've been with you in the Ye family for so many years. Even cats and dogs develop feelings for each other, let alone a living, breathing person like me. Huanhuan wants me to leave the Ye family, but I can't do it. I really can't..."
Ye Ru cried so hard that it was heartbreaking, and it moved everyone who saw it.
Gao Yalan's eyes immediately reddened. She sat on the edge of the bed and pulled Ye Ru into her arms, her eyes filled with pity.
"Xiaoru, don't be sad. You will always be a part of the Ye family. No one can drive you away."
"Yes, Xiaoru, don't worry, as long as I'm still breathing, no one can kick you out of this house!" After saying that, Ye Haiming glared at Ye Huanhuan with great dissatisfaction.
"Clap clap clap!"
Ye Huanhuan clapped her hands, her eyes full of sarcasm: "What a clever ruse! She managed to fool Mom and Dad so easily."
Ye Ru burst into tears: "Huanhuan, I...I didn't lie to Mom and Dad at all, and I didn't use any self-inflicted suffering trick. Can you please stop framing me?"
Ye Haiming, standing to the side, was instantly enraged. He pointed at Ye Huanhuan and roared in a deep voice:
"Ye Huanhuan, that's enough! You still show no remorse and dare to say such things? Get out of here! If you don't apologize to Xiaoru properly, don't ever come back to the Ye family again!"
Gao Yalan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but look at Ye Huanhuan, her eyes filled with heartache:
"Huanhuan, Mom is so disappointed in you!"
She never imagined that her own daughter would have such a terrible character.
Ye Huanhuan laughed, but her laughter was incredibly sorrowful. Tears streamed down her cheeks, dripping onto the ground and splashing into tiny teardrops.
"Dad, Mom, I will never admit to something I didn't do. It's absolutely impossible for me to apologize to Ye Ru. You keep saying I'm your daughter, but you don't trust me at all. Since that's the case, then I'll leave. From now on, I will never set foot in the Ye family again."
After saying that, Ye Huanhuan turned around and walked out of the ward step by step.
Each step felt so heavy, as if I were carrying a thousand-pound burden.
"Huanhuan, how could you say such a thing..."
As Gao Yalan watched Ye Huanhuan's departing figure, a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes. She couldn't help but get up, wanting to stop Ye Huanhuan from leaving.
However, Ye Haiming grabbed her arm and stopped her, saying:
"Let her go! You shouldn't have brought her back in the first place. She's unrepentant and has disappointed me greatly!"
Gao Yalan sighed helplessly, watching Ye Huanhuan's figure gradually disappear with a complicated look in her eyes, her heart filled with guilt and self-blame.
She murmured to herself, "How could this child have such a personality..."
Gao Yalan felt confused and puzzled. She couldn't understand why Ye Huanhuan was so stubborn and unwilling to admit her mistakes, even when faced with them.
Ye Ru looked remorseful and said, "Dad, Mom, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Huanhuan wouldn't be like this."
Ye Haiming angrily interrupted Ye Ru: "How can you blame yourself? She's the one who did something wrong! If she's so capable, then she should never come back!"
After saying that, Ye Haiming picked up his phone and called Secretary Liu: "From now on, freeze all the funds and stock accounts under Ye Huanhuan's name! Without the Ye family's money, let's see how she lives!"
Gao Yalan opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but seeing Ye Haiming's furious expression, she ultimately remained silent.
She knew that Ye Haiming was angry at the moment, and no amount of persuasion would be of any use.
Ye Ru lowered her eyes, a triumphant smile flashing in them.
Ye Huanhuan, you better keep your word and never come back to the Ye family in this lifetime!
After Ye Huanhuan turned and left Ye Ru's ward, she did not leave the hospital immediately. Instead, she quietly waited in a secluded corner, her eyes fixed on the door of Ye Ru's ward, waiting for Ye Haiming and Gao Yalan to leave.
Time passed by, and after about half an hour, Ye Haiming and Gao Yalan finally came out of the ward. Both of them had a tired and worried look on their faces. They were talking to each other in a low voice as they walked towards the elevator at the end of the corridor.
After confirming that Ye Haiming and Gao Yalan had entered the elevator and gone downstairs, Ye Huanhuan carefully stood up. After making sure that no one was around, she returned to Ye Ru's ward door.
She pushed open the door and saw Ye Ru lying on the bed resting with her eyes closed.
She went back into the room and closed the door behind her.
Ye Ru seemed to hear the noise, but didn't open her eyes. She merely frowned slightly, appearing somewhat impatient: "Who is it?"
Ye Huanhuan walked to the bedside, looked coldly at Ye Ru, and said, "Me."
Hearing the voice, Ye Ru suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with surprise and wariness: "Ye Huanhuan, what are you doing here again?"
"Why can't I come again? Are you feeling guilty?"
Ye Ru sat up, staring intently at Ye Huanhuan, her eyes filled with hostility: "Ye Huanhuan, what do you want to do?"
Then, she placed her hand on the alarm bell on the bedside table, looked at Ye Huanhuan warily, and warned, "Don't come any closer. If you dare to do anything to me, I'll call the doctor and nurses right away."
