The one who saved Bai Lian'er was none other than Ye Chen.
At this moment, Ye Chen was completely soaked.
He exuded a chilling and sinister aura, his blood-red eyes blazing with fury as he stared at Shi Nian, disappointment and anger overlapping in them. "Shi Nian, I know you're ruthless, but I thought you were only like that to those who betrayed you. I never imagined you could be so vicious to innocent people!"
"You call me vicious?" Shi Nian narrowed her eyes, a hint of mockery appearing in them. "You haven't even figured out what happened, and you're already calling me vicious?"
Bai Lian'er cried, tears streaming down her face, looking utterly aggrieved. "If you hadn't pushed me in, how could I have fallen into the water? I can't swim, and I'm weak. I usually don't go near the water's edge unless someone deliberately pushed me. Brother Ye, you have to do justice for me..."
Ye Chen looked at Shi Nian with a dark expression. "What else do you have to say?"
“It wasn’t me.” Shi Nian’s tone was calm, but she was even more upset than before. “She tried to pounce on me, I dodged, but she couldn’t stop herself and fell down.”
After leaving those words, Shi Nian turned to leave.
But Ye Chen stopped her.
He gripped her arm tightly.
That immense force felt like it wanted to crush her bones!
"Do you think I'd believe your flawed explanation?" Ye Chen hissed through gritted teeth, his eyes burning with fury.
"Lian'er has no grudge against you, so why would she pounce on you the moment she sees you? Besides, she has a gentle and kind personality, so why would she provoke you on her own initiative?"
"Shi Nian, you have a long criminal record. I have personally witnessed you scheme against others so many times, and I have even been schemed against by you myself. Do you think I would believe that you are innocent?"
Shi Nian's gaze turned completely cold, her eyes shrouded in a dark mist. "Since you don't believe me, why are you asking me at all?"
The disappointment in Ye Chen's eyes deepened, and a chill emanated from him. "Right now, apologize to Lian'er immediately and promise never to cause her any more trouble, or I will not let you off easily!"
"I can tolerate your antics, but don't mess with Lian'er. She's not in good health and can't take your abuse!"
Shi Nian looked at him with a gloomy expression.
She knew from her past life that Ye Chen had a special feeling for Bai Lian'er.
She was so devoted that she would rather have her tongue cut out and the skin on her hands peeled off than drive Bai Lian'er away.
But she didn't understand why Ye Chen was so protective of Bai Lian'er...
Every time she saw him protecting Bai Lian'er, her displeasure constantly overwhelmed her reason.
Even though she didn't intend to be with him in this life, she was still very unhappy to see him protecting Bai Lian'er so indiscriminately.
The displeasure was so intense that she felt nauseous just talking to him.
"An apology is impossible, I will never apologize in this lifetime." Shi Nian's eyes revealed a hint of mockery. "You are blind and heartless, I have no intention of staying with you. Please let me go immediately so that I can leave and comfort your Lian'er."
Ye Chen's anger burned fiercely, and he said in a sinister tone, "You must apologize to Lian'er today, or don't even think about leaving!"
He forcefully pulled Shi Nian in front of Bai Lian'er, grabbed her shoulders, and pressed her down hard...
Shi Nian's eyes narrowed. Did he still want her to kneel down and apologize?
Oh……
