Chapter 205: Unable to Think
"I've heard that you want to disregard a woman's will and arbitrarily find her a husband. I absolutely cannot agree to this."
"Besides, didn't the real father who has the final say that this isn't a good marriage? If you're so impatient, why don't you take your sister's place yourself?"
Chen Zhuyi knew what they wanted to hear and refuted it directly.
The expressions of the aunts around were even more indignant. Anyone with a conscience would not push their loved ones into the fire pit!
Miaomiao could already feel the murderous gazes of so many people around her. She took two steps back in panic, with some tension in her eyes.
"It's not my decision to get married. What's the point of you...getting angry at me?" Miaomiao said even more aggrievedly, as if she was not a vested interest.
"Whoever lost their temper with you, we must protect the rights of lesbian women. The freedom to marry should be in our own hands, not be arranged by others."
Seeing that there were more people around, Chen Zhuyi went straight in, grabbed Ye Xumei, and forcibly took her away from this place of trouble.
Mr. Ye was still vomiting blood in bed. When the nurses saw that something was wrong, they rushed over and complained about these children.
"Your father is about to die, and none of you has found someone to take care of him. If he's not saved in time and dies here, please don't blame us!"
The head nurse spoke in a harsh tone, with obvious dissatisfaction.
Miaomiao and Fanfan looked at each other. At this moment, they felt panic in their hearts and felt that the end was coming.
"Don't worry, aunties. I'll take her out first and come to see you later when the situation gets better." Chen Zhuyi did not forget to say hello to these aunties.
Ye Xumei followed Shen Zhuyi woodenly. They went all the way to the nearest hotel. Chen Zhuyi arranged accommodation for them and took her upstairs.
"Whatever your father's current situation is, he's probably faking it. Maybe they've already arranged this trap to lure you back."
Chen Zhuyi spoke frankly without any concealment. Such a frank attitude made Ye Xumei, who had come back to his senses, purse his lips again with a bitter smile.
Although Ye Xumei seemed a bit cold and distant when we first met on the island, as we gradually got along better and better, her coldness faded a lot and she became more like an older sister.
Later, she got a stable job. Ye Xumei was efficient and was praised frequently by Cheng Zhuoyue. She also integrated into the job.
But now, Ye Xumei was sitting on the bed, fiddling with his short hair with his hands, with a faint scarlet tint in his eyes.
"I've been with them for so many years, and I have some guesses about what you said."
Ye Xumei was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke, with a hint of melancholy in his tone.
She knew it, but she still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that her father was really seriously ill and had to let her come back.
Instead of everything being a setup against her, the intention was to trap her from the very beginning.
"So what are you going to do next? Are you going to keep being bullied by them?"
Chen Zhu asked bluntly as he looked at her expression.
It’s no big deal to know the other party’s plan. The key is to cut the Gordian knot.
"The knife that can hurt you is often the one you put into their hands. If you don't care about it from the beginning, you can protect yourself."
As he spoke, Chen Zhuyi took the initiative to walk to Ye Xumei and gave her a hug.
There's nothing more comforting than a warm embrace.
When Ye Xumei heard her say this and felt the endless warmth, tears rolled down uncontrollably. The grievances and depression in his heart seemed to finally have a point where he could vent.
Her tears wet Shen Zhuyi's clothes, and facing such a scene, Shen Zhuyi just patted her back gently and promised: "No matter what, I will be here."
Early the next morning, Ye Xumei went to the hospital again. When Chen Zhu heard her getting up, he insisted on going with her. But when they went to the ward, they found it was empty and there was no trace of her.
"Where did the patient on this bed go?" Ye Xumei hesitated and went to find the nurse who came to check on the ward.
It was the person who had been chatting with Chen Zhuyi yesterday. Her eyelids twitched, and her originally unpleasant attitude dissipated a little when she saw her: "You're wasting hospital resources. You're not sick at all, and you were pretending to be dead yesterday!"
"We were so scared that we almost invited the dean over. No matter how many instruments we changed, we could see that his physical fitness far exceeded that of others. It really made us so angry!"
When this matter was mentioned, the young nurse became angry again.
Chen Zhu quickly went to buy a popsicle: "It's hot, eat something cold to cool down. Have they all gone home now?"
"Of course, if it weren't for that old man's age, I would have just beaten them out with a broom!"
The young nurse was still venting her anger.
Ye Xumei was keenly aware of something wrong and asked, "What's with that bloody water?"
He's coughing up blood, but he's still healthy?
"I can tell you don't watch TV dramas very often. Isn't there that fake blood thing lately?" The nurse said as a matter of course.
People in Beijing have a more relaxed pace of life overall. Things like televisions are rare in other places, but many families here have already bought them.
"I understand." Ye Xumei clenched her fists and spoke in a low voice. She turned and walked out without even looking at Chen Zhuyi who was following her.
"Did I say something too harsh? I hope she won't do anything bad?" The young nurse was frightened when she saw the man turn around and run away. She looked at Chen Zhuyi worriedly.
"Anyone who has been deceived for so long would have to find a reason, not to mention..." Chen Zhu patted the nurse soothingly and followed her without finishing his words.
The only place she can go now is the Ye family.
At this moment, the door of the house was open and many people were there. It looked lively and bustling. A fat man in the lead was grinning with a bit of silliness. No matter who saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel sorry.
"Wife." Zhou Xingfan walked over directly, spoke loudly, and tried to pull Ye Xumei.
Facing this blind man, Ye Xumei slapped him in the face and looked at everyone present with a cold look: "I never said I would marry him. Whoever agreed will be responsible!"
Zhou Xingfan felt wronged after being beaten. His father Zhou Fumin also hurried over and shouted: "What do you mean by saying this?"
