Tang Zhiyi's resistance was futile; Butler Chen had clearly come prepared.
He crouched down and took Tang Zhiyi's hand back. Without allowing Tang Zhiyi to resist, he had the bodyguard pick her up and leave the stadium.
Meanwhile, Meng Wan, protected by Meng Zhiyuan and Meng Zhilian, walked out and bumped into Lan Xing and Ji Sheng, who were rushing over.
"Wanwan! How are you!" Lan Xing grabbed Meng Wan's hand and looked her over from left to right. The purplish-blue marks on her fair arm were particularly noticeable and even looked terrifying.
"Damn Tang Zhiyi, I'll beat her so badly her own mother won't recognize her, or I'm not a Lan!"
Lan Xing was so angry she was trembling, and she was about to rush towards the stadium, but fortunately Meng Wan knew her personality and stopped her in time.
"Blue Star, don't be impulsive, what brings you here?"
They should be with Lan's father at this time, and the timing of Meng Zhiyuan and Meng Zhilian's appearance is also very coincidental.
“Sun Lu told us.” Lan Xing’s tone was still a bit sharp, but because Meng Wan was holding her hand, she didn’t dare to break free and could only stand there obediently.
"Sun Lu?"
"Yes, she couldn't reach you, so she contacted Lan Xing," Ji Sheng explained.
Meng Wan glanced at her phone. She had been on the phone with Yan Nian the whole time, which was why Sun Lu couldn't reach her.
"What did you say?"
"She told you not to go to the stadium. Tang Zhiyi doesn't know about her injury, so she asked Sun Lu to find your two brothers and invite them to the stadium. Besides not wanting you to participate in the upcoming competition, she also wants you to see what it means to be abandoned by everyone."
As Ji Sheng spoke, he glanced at the two people behind Meng Wan. They were smart enough not to be so blind.
Meng Zhiyuan and Meng Zhilian looked rather grim. They were even more relieved that they hadn't done anything to disappoint Meng Wan earlier. They never expected that the sister they had protected for 17 years was not only an ingrate but also a wicked devil!
"Unexpectedly, by a twist of fate, I'm the one who pointed out the way for your two older brothers." Lan Xing became angrier the more she thought about it.
"Where is she? What did she do to you? How did she get your hand like this?"
Meng Wan didn't hide anything and recounted what had just happened at the stadium.
Lan Xing was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode! Luckily, Ji Sheng quickly wrapped his arms around her neck and kept telling her to 'calm down and take a deep breath', which calmed Lan Xing down a bit.
Both of them are quick-tempered, yet when one acts impulsively, the other manages to remain calm and control the impulsive one. Of course, most of the time they choose to act impulsively together, but it's usually over trivial matters.
"Don't worry, Yan Nian is in there."
Upon hearing the familiar name, Meng Zhilian and Meng Zhiyuan instinctively turned to look at the entrance of the gymnasium. It was quiet and empty.
The two exchanged a glance, clearly having seen no one when they barged in.
Lan Xing, however, was not surprised at all. As soon as he heard that Yan Nian had gone in, he immediately calmed down.
"Serves him right," she cursed. "He does nothing but disgusting things. He didn't inherit any of the Tang family's shrewdness; instead, he only learned the Tang couple's selfishness!"
Meng Zhiyuan and Meng Zhilian dared not speak, after all, Tang Zhiyi had been raised in their family for the past 17 years. They bore an undeniable responsibility for developing such a twisted personality.
"Let's go back, aren't there other projects?"
"Why are you still worried about this? Go to the hospital for an X-ray first. What if you've broken a bone?"
“Yes, Wanwan, look, even Lanxing said that…” Meng Zhiyuan seized the opportunity to interject.
"Okay, okay, I'll go." The group kept talking and nagging until Meng Wan's ears were about to fall off. She had no choice but to agree in order to get some peace and quiet.
"Then I'll go with you," Lan Xing said without hesitation.
"You should go with your uncle. He's come all this way, and my two older brothers are with him."
Lan Xing pursed her lips, feeling extremely uneasy about the two people, but she couldn't resist Meng Wan's repeated persuasion and had no choice but to give up.
Only after watching the three get into the car did Lan Xing and Ji Sheng re-enter the academy.
"Let's go, I just saw Butler Chen go in." Ji Sheng knew that Lan Xing wouldn't be satisfied without seeing Tang Zhiyi's disheveled state.
"Butler Chen is here too?" Lan Xing and Ji Sheng walked towards the gymnasium.
"It was probably Yan Nian who called him over. The Tang family is planning to expand into new businesses and has a collaboration with the Yan family. They are currently in the negotiation stage. Tang Zhiyi angered Yan Nian at this juncture, which is simply courting death."
The fact that Yan Nian was able to quickly consolidate and expand the Yan family's territory within two years is enough to show that he is not someone to be trifled with. Some people think that he is like a harmless puppy in front of Meng Wan, but they forget that he is a wolf and will be eaten without leaving even bones.
Halfway there, they didn't see Yan Nian, but instead saw Butler Chen, followed by a bodyguard, who was holding the weak Tang Zhiyi in his arms.
"Butler Chen, may I speak with Tang Zhiyi?"
Lan Xing had visited the Tang family several times, so Butler Chen naturally knew about her relationship with Meng Wan.
“Of course, Miss Lan.” Butler Chen gave the bodyguard a look, and the latter immediately stepped forward.
Lan Xing didn't try to hide anything, directly grabbing Tang Zhiyi's chin and looking her over from left to right, seemingly quite satisfied with her disheveled appearance.
Tang Zhiyi glanced at her, her eyes filled with fear, but she had no strength to resist anymore and could only let Lan Xing control her.
"Tang Zhiyi, you should be glad that it's me standing here, not Qingling." Lan Xing patted her face, her tone tinged with regret.
She released Tang Zhiyi and clapped her hands in disdain. When she turned to look at Butler Chen, she had a harmless smile on her face.
"Thank you, Butler Chen."
Butler Chen bowed slightly, a flawless smile on his face.
"Mr. Yan and Assistant Yao have already left through the back door. Please tell Ms. Meng that the stadium's videotapes have been destroyed, so please rest assured."
Lan Xing nodded in satisfaction and stepped back. Butler Chen didn't linger either, and the three of them quickly left the school.
At the hospital, Meng Wan had X-rays taken, which showed only superficial injuries. However, because her skin is delicate, they looked a bit alarming, but there was nothing seriously wrong. Seeing this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Wan's phone chimed, and she checked the text message, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"The ointment has been sent to your home. The old man doesn't know, so don't worry. Starting tomorrow, Tang Zhiyi will no longer appear in front of you."
Meng Wan knew that Yan Nian was angry.
She sighed; it seemed she'd have to coax him properly tomorrow.
"The medicine is ready, shall we go home?" Meng Zhilian said, carrying the bag.
"No need to be so nervous, it's just a little bruise." Seeing the two of them looking like they were facing a major enemy, Meng Wan found it somewhat amusing.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yi and Meng Boqun reacted even more strongly. When the two returned with Meng Zhiyao that evening, they immediately noticed the arm in Meng Wan's hand.
Their initial disappointment with Tang Zhiyi had turned into anger, and they even scolded Meng Zhilian and Meng Zhiyuan, blaming them for not protecting Meng Wan.
Meng Zhili, unusually, didn't speak up. He studied the X-ray and only felt relieved after confirming that no bones were injured.
