He gently stroked Mi Ai's hair, his tone no longer as cold as before, his temperament returning to its usual gentle and soothing manner, and said softly:
"You want to explain? Sure, just wait and see."
He took out his phone and sent a random text message.
Without saying anything more, he carried Mi Ai out.
Ye's father immediately pulled Ye Xinchu and You Ning away.
Before leaving, Ye Xinchu couldn't help but turn back to look at the woman who had fallen to the ground.
She saw the woman answer the phone and scream in despair:
"What did you say?"
"The family went bankrupt?! How is that possible? There's only 20,000 yuan left in the bank account?!"
"Why?"
"What, the remaining medical expenses will be given to us?"
The woman seemed to understand something, her eyes widened suddenly, and she muttered to herself:
"It's over..."
"It's over!!"
The woman, no longer caring about her precious son, grabbed him by the collar and began yelling:
"You're going to get us killed!!"
"Stop crying! I want to cry too!"
This incident left a mark on Ye Xinchu's heart—
It turns out that only those with power can keep these people in check who do whatever they want and harm others, and even make them suffer the consequences of their actions.
You Ning leaned on her father's shoulder, watching the little boy crying bitterly because of his unwillingness to accept defeat, and silently slumped over her father's shoulder.
She thought to herself:
Is becoming stronger the only way to shut up those who speak ill of me?
Uncle Wen, who was originally going to turn back home, changed his mind and took Mi Ai to the hospital.
Ye's father thought that Mi Ai was beaten while protecting her daughter, so he should go to the hospital with her for both the sentiment and the reason.
After checking and finding it to be a superficial injury, Uncle Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Xinchu hesitated for a long time before walking up to Mi Ai. "Thank you for protecting me and Ningning before. Because of us, you got beaten up... This is my favorite chocolate candy. Here, have some."
Upon hearing the word "chocolate," Mi Ai's eyes lit up, and she immediately looked up at Uncle Wen:
"Wenwen, can I eat this?"
"You're allowed to eat this time."
"Yay!" Mi Ai took the candy. "Thank you."
She rummaged through her backpack and handed her the strawberry chocolate roll she had secretly bought that morning: "Here you go!"
Mi Ai was so busy giving Ye Xinchu her favorite chocolates that she forgot her uncle was watching her from behind.
When Uncle Wen saw the chocolate rolls that had inexplicably appeared, his expression changed instantly, and he stared at Mi Ai with a scrutinizing gaze.
Mi Ai felt a chill run down her spine and broke out in a cold sweat.
Uncle Wen eventually let her go.
Mi Ai breathed a sigh of relief.
Uncle Wen squatted down and gently patted Ye Xinchu's shoulder.
“Xin Chu, you don’t need to blame yourself. You were the victims. It’s their fault that others said hurtful things to you. Just because you fought back and they became the weaker party doesn’t mean it’s your fault.”
"Those of you who bravely stand up for yourselves and your families are the best."
“Mi Ai got beaten up because she bravely stood up for her friends. You don’t need to blame yourself, because the fault doesn’t lie with you, but with the boy who spoke ill of you.”
Ye Xinchu vaguely understood, and she nodded vigorously: "I understand, thank you, Uncle."
Uncle Wen smiled and looked at You Ning again, "Little You Ning is very cute, and many people like you. Look how much your sister likes you."
He didn't say much else, such as telling You Ning not to care about other people's opinions or to learn to fight back.
Instead, she sincerely told You Ning that it was enough that many people liked her.
Ye Xinchu was very sensible; she immediately grabbed You Ning's hand and said with a smile:
"Yes, yes, my sister loves Ningning the most!"
Father Ye affectionately patted You Ning's head, "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma all love Ning Ning very much."
When You Ning heard her father and sister say they loved her, tears welled up in her eyes:
"Yes! Ningning loves her dad, mom, grandpa, grandma, and sister the most too!"
Seeing that they had all relieved their frustrations, Uncle Wen turned to look at his own child.
It turned out she was already chewing chocolate candy.
Uncle Wen smiled helplessly, rubbed Mi Ai's head, and said softly:
"Our little Ai is so amazing! She bravely fought back for her friend. Does it still hurt?"
Mi Ai heard her uncle praising her.
She stood tall and proud, hands on her hips, exuding arrogance and haughtiness.
"Of course! Mi Ai is the best!"
"It doesn't hurt at all, it's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about!"
Seeing that Mi Ai had a carefree and outgoing personality, Ye's father couldn't help but bend down and tease her:
"Xiao Ai is so amazing! She'll definitely be a little hero who protects our country in the future."
"Would you be interested in becoming a hero, learning magic, and protecting our country in the future?"
Mi Ai's face immediately fell, her expression turning cold:
"No, I just want to be a lazy bum. Staying at home with the air conditioning on, watching TV, and eating ice cream suits me better."
Mr. Ye's face twitched slightly. He stood up helplessly and asked his friend in a low voice:
"She's only a few years old, how did you raise her like this...?"
Uncle Wen covered his face helplessly, "Don't say anymore. Last time, her aunt and I had to go back to deal with something. We thought that with the special protective shield, we should be fine as long as we rushed back on the same day."
As a result, this little brat secretly ate five or six ice creams in one go while enjoying the air conditioning. When we rushed back, she was still comfortably sitting there watching TV with her legs crossed. We were so scared that we immediately took her to the hospital for a checkup. Since then, this girl only wants to be a couch potato.
Father Ye: "..."
Mi Ai suddenly pouted, "I need to go to the toilet."
