Looking at Mu Yinjing again, she saw her biting her lip tightly and staring at her with a gloomy expression. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, she would have suspected that Mu Yinjing was about to slap her at any moment.
As expected, it was Huo Yanzhi, just like always.
A simple action or a single sentence can thrust her into the eye of the storm.
She ate calmly, telling herself to finish eating as soon as possible and leave.
Mu Yinjing's voice rang in her ears, "Xinning, let me serve you some soup. I heard Yanzhi say before that you like to drink soup with your meals."
Ye Xinning narrowed her eyes, wondering what kind of trouble this person was causing this time.
Mu Yinjing served her some soup. "Here you go."
Ye Xinning didn't want to accept it; she had no interest in dealing with such hypocrisy.
"Xinning, do you not like me? Is there something wrong with what I did? You won't even accept the soup I served you."
"Chairman Ye's daughter is really something else. Even with Yin Jing in this state, she remains unmoved." The one who spoke was Mu Yin Jing's father. Ye Xin Ning looked at him coldly. Was he trying to morally blackmail her?
It seems she has no choice but to accept this bowl of soup today.
But why is Shen Lin still sitting here? Does the Mu family really not care about offending people?
She stood up, smiling gently, "Thank you, Auntie."
As she spoke, she reached out to take the bowl of soup, but just as her hand touched the side of the bowl, Mu Yinjing suddenly let go.
The next second, the soup spilled directly onto her hand, and the scalding temperature made Ye Xinning's expression turn somewhat painful.
Shen Lin and Huo Yanzhi stood up almost at the same time. Shen Lin took her hand and led her quickly toward the restroom.
Standing by the sink, Shen Lin frowned deeply, his thin lips pressed into a sharp line. Ye Xinning was in pain because her hand had been burned, but at this moment, her attention was entirely on him.
Was he worried about her because he reacted so quickly?
"Ye Xinning, are you stupid?" He grabbed her hand and poured cold water on it, his voice low and filled with obvious displeasure and anger.
Ye Xinning could roughly guess why he was angry.
"I never expected that she would actually dare to do something to me in front of so many people."
"Her fiancé is so considerate that he even serves her food, how come she doesn't vent her frustrations?"
Ye Xinning heard this and there was a hint of sarcasm in it.
She thought about it and felt that what Shen Lin said made some sense, but what did that have to do with her?
Otherwise, how could it be said that Huo Yanzhi always liked to push her into the abyss in his own way?
"That was Huo Yanzhi's doing. She could have gone to Huo Yanzhi. Why did she take it out on me?" she muttered to herself.
Shen Lin tightened his grip on her hand. She was already in pain from the burn, and Shen Lin's squeeze made her wince in pain. "Shen Lin, did you do that on purpose?"
"How will you learn your lesson if I don't make you feel the pain?"
Ye Xinning, "..."
If it wasn't for the injury on her hand that made him so deserving of a beating, she would have really wanted to give him a big slap.
The maid was waiting outside the bathroom door, and as soon as they came out, she handed them burn ointment.
"Miss, this was sent back by Chairman Ye. It's very effective. Please apply it quickly."
Shen Lin took the bag and led Ye Xinning upstairs.
"It's just applying some medicine, do I need to go upstairs?" she asked, puzzled.
"You want to go to the living room now and demand an explanation from Mu Yinjing in front of everyone?"
"Even if I did that, so what?"
Ye Xinning is never one to suffer losses; she will definitely return what Mu Yinjing gave her.
Shen Lin glanced at her, his expression seeming to say, "I knew you'd say that."
"You don't need to get involved in this."
"What's the meaning?"
"Mom will get the explanation you want."
Ye Xinning was still not entirely convinced by Shen Lin's confident statement. Would Ye Rouxin really stand in front of so many people to get an explanation for Mu Yinjing?
...
Meanwhile, in the living room, after Shen Lin took Ye Xinning to the bathroom, Ye Rouxin put down her chopsticks.
Everyone held their breath. Mu Yinjing was even more surprised that Ye Xinning would be burned so badly. She had only intended to let her suffer a little, but she never expected that the bowl of soup would spill straight onto Ye Xinning's entire arm.
Huo Yanzhi's gaze was murderous, and he stared at her with a chilling intensity.
In addition, Ye Rouxin also had a sullen face, and she bit her lip.
He tried to explain, "Yanzhi, I didn't mean to."
"Not on purpose?" Huo Yanzhi repeated softly, his voice chillingly cold.
Mu Yinjing nodded heavily, but fearing Huo Yanzhi wouldn't believe her, she gripped his hand tightly, "Really, I didn't mean to..."
Before she could finish speaking, Huo Yanzhi pushed her hand away, and Mu Yinjing looked at him in surprise.
His expression was even more agitated than before. "Huo Yanzhi, what do you mean?"
"How long are you going to deny it under everyone's watchful eyes?"
Mu Yinjing stood motionless, watching Huo Yanzhi's rage and icy demeanor because of Ye Xinning, and suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
"You treat me like this just because of her? Huo Yanzhi, do I need to remind you? I am the one you are about to marry."
"Miss Mu..."
Before Huo Yanzhi could speak, Ye Rouxin, who was sitting in the main seat, addressed her as Miss Mu in a very distant manner.
Mu Yinjing turned to look at Ye Rouxin, pursed her lips, and was about to speak when Ye Rouxin spoke first, "I'm sorry, my daughter injured her hand, so I may not be in the mood to continue this meal. Please make yourselves at home. Perhaps you can find a suitable place outside to talk. I'll take my leave now."
After Ye Rouxin finished speaking, she stood up and left the restaurant and went upstairs under everyone's gaze.
The Mu family members looked at each other in disbelief, not expecting things to develop this way.
Huo Qijun was still standing there, and Mu's father was in a bad mood. "Qijun, I want to ask Chairman Ye what he means by this? It's just a small accident, and he's going to turn around and leave?"
Kenneth Fok had a smile on his face, and he seemed very friendly.
"I apologize, tonight's events were poorly arranged. I will definitely visit you in person another day to discuss them further."
Upon hearing this, the Mu family knew that the conversation was over.
"I don't know why you got so angry over such a small thing."
After saying this with displeasure, Mu's father looked at Mu Yinjing and said, "Let's go."
Mu Yinjing, however, did not want to leave like this.
She stared stubbornly at Huo Yanzhi, "You serve her food, you know all her preferences, haven't you been thinking about her the moment you walked in the door?"
Huo Yanzhi pursed his thin lips into a sharp shape, remaining silent.
Mu Yinjing suddenly lost control of her emotions. She grabbed Huo Yanzhi's collar tightly and questioned him, "You still remember her, don't you? You still have feelings for her, don't you?"
