Suddenly, with a "thump," Rong Zhaonan heard something roll down the stairs behind him.
Ning Yuan and Rong Zhaonan both turned their heads instinctively and saw Ye Dong running too fast, accidentally tumbling down the stairs.
"Dongdong!" Lu Congjun exclaimed in shock.
"Dongdong!" Rong Zhaonan immediately turned back and helped her up.
Ye Dong was dazed and confused after the fall. He sat slumped at the top of the stairs, feeling a warm sensation on his head. When he touched his forehead, he found his hand covered in blood.
The girl burst into tears instantly, covering her head and sobbing, "It hurts! It hurts so much!... Brother Zhaonan!"
As she spoke, she grabbed Rong Zhaonan's arm in a panic with her other hand.
People around gasped in surprise.
Seeing that Ye Dong had fallen and his head was bleeding, with blood gushing from between his fingers, Rong Zhaonan frowned and asked directly, "Don't move around. You might have fractures in other parts of your body from that fall!"
"Brother Zhaonan, my whole body hurts so much!" The girl cried and hid in Rong Zhaonan's arms, but as soon as she moved, her leg bones throbbed with pain, and she froze there.
Hearing the commotion, the others all came downstairs, and seeing Ye Dong's appearance, they couldn't help but worry—
"Dongdong!"
"There's bleeding!"
"What happened?"
"Dongdong!" Lu Congjun tried to help Ye Dong, but Ye Dong completely ignored him.
Ye Dong looked up at Rong Zhaonan with a wronged expression, only tugging at his shirt sleeve: "Brother Zhaonan... I'll listen to you, please don't be angry with me, okay? You promised my sister you'd take good care of me."
Rong Zhaonan frowned: "Alright, stop talking!"
Lu Congjun was so anxious he was about to jump up and down: "Stop talking, take Dongdong to the hospital first!"
This brat won't let him hug her; it has to be Rong Zhaonan.
But Elder Ye was highly respected in the compound. Even Uncle Rong had to call Elder Ye a senior. The Ye family's parents and grandparents had all worked on the front lines of the South China Sea base.
If something happens to the only girl in the Ye family at his place, not only will the Ye family suffer, but his parents will also not forgive him!
As Rong Zhaonan watched Ye Dong fall and be unable to get up, his forehead covered in blood, the image of Ye Qiu lying in the coffin suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Even though the mortician had already tidied Ye Qiu's appearance, the cuts and bloodstains on his head were still visible.
He closed his eyes, his face ashen, bent down, grabbed Ye Dong around the waist, and carried him outside.
As he passed Ning Yuan, he said in a deep voice, "I'll take Dongdong to the hospital first, and then I'll have Aheng take you home."
Ning Yuan nodded expressionlessly: "Okay."
What could she say? Ye Dong was bleeding profusely from his head, yet she still stopped people from taking him to the hospital, which made her seem heartless and excessive.
After saying that, Rong Zhaonan picked up Ye Dong and strode out.
Lu Congjun quickly followed him out, preparing to drive to the hospital.
The others followed suit in a similar hurry.
Ning Yuan watched as a group of people hurriedly saw Ye Dong off as if he were a precious treasure.
She lowered her eyes, glanced at the bloodstains on the ground, and felt somewhat agitated.
Was Ye Dong's fall a real one or a fake one? If it was a fake fall, this girl is really ruthless.
"Creak!" She suddenly heard the sound of a window being pushed open above her.
She looked up and saw a figure smoking by the window of another private room on the second floor, looking at her with a half-smile.
That face wasn't Xiang San's—so who was Xiang Ziying?
Ning Yuan narrowed her eyes instantly. Last time it was a coincidence, but is this time it still a coincidence?
Too many coincidences in this world must be intentional.
In the drama of Ye Donglai disrupting her welcome banquet, what role did Xiang San play?
Xiang San smiled and waved at her, his schadenfreude undisguised: "Tsk, isn't this our Advisor Ning? What's he doing here all alone?"
Ning Yuan ignored him and turned to leave.
But before she could even leave the courtyard, Xiang San's voice rang out behind her: "Why are you walking so fast? It's broad daylight, and this restaurant is always full of people. I'm not going to eat you."
Ning Yuan watched as Xiang San and several young men she had met yesterday came downstairs and sauntered over to her in a nonchalant manner.
She stared coldly at Xiang San without the slightest fear: "What is it?"
She was quite curious; why was he stopping her? Was he there to watch her make a fool of herself?
Xiang San looked her up and down and said, "Look, this vulgar look is more suitable for you. Imitating others will only make you look ridiculous."
Ning Yuan scoffed coldly: "That's what tasteless bumpkins think."
This was the first time Xiang San had been mocked for being a country bumpkin. She narrowed her eyes and said, "All the men have run off with other women, leaving you here all alone. You see, men have pretty 'good' taste."
Ning Yuan impatiently pointed to a pool of blood nearby: "Come on, if you roll down the stairs and hit your head there, I'll take pity on you and run away with you to the hospital, how about that?"
Xiang San was speechless, but not annoyed. He smiled faintly and said, "What, you still have the mood to be sharp-tongued? It seems you are quite 'satisfied' with the gift I gave you?"
Ning Yuan paused, then looked him up and down like Xiang San did: "Xiang San, I've always been curious. If you're saying you hate Rong Zhaonan because of your brother, I understand."
Xiang San narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ning Yuan's pouty little mouth, thinking that this little girl couldn't possibly say anything nice.
really……
Ning Yuan smiled, seemingly curious: "But these past few days, you've been calling me 'fake' all the time. You clearly care more about Ye Qiu. So, who are you really avenging and causing trouble for? Does your brother know you have feelings for your sister-in-law?"
Xiang San's face instantly darkened, and he interrupted her sharply: "Ning Yuan!"
"Don't be so loud, I can hear you. You like watching jokes so much, and you've seen enough. You don't need to see me off." Ning Yuan picked at her ear and turned to walk out of the courtyard gate.
She felt annoyed just looking at him, so she decided to go outside and wait for Aheng.
Ah Heng won't be away for long to find a car; it's in the vicinity.
Several young men suddenly surrounded Ning Yuan, grinning and saying, "Hey, little sister-in-law, don't be in such a hurry to leave."
"Ning Yuan... what are you doing!" A clear male voice suddenly rang out.
A stylish young man in a short-sleeved navy-style shirt, dressed in a trendy Korean style, walked in with two other young men.
Ning Yuan was taken aback, looking at the person who came in through the door: "Ou Minglang? What are you doing here?"
The boy smiled and said, "Isn't it summer vacation? I came back to visit my grandparents. I heard you were eating here, so I came to find you!"
After saying that, he glanced at Xiang San without any politeness: "What, is someone looking for trouble?"
Ning Yuan glanced at Xiang San and said coolly, "Yeah, Engineer Xiang is really bored. He likes to follow me around all the time. If you didn't know him, you'd think he was my enemy. If you didn't know him, you'd think he was my suitor."
Xiang San crossed his arms and sneered, "Ning Yuan, stop being so sharp-tongued and trying to flatter yourself. The living can never win against the dead. Have you ever heard that saying?"
