Ye Dong staggered and tried his best to push Ning Yuan, even ignoring the still-healing injury on his leg.
Ning Yuan was surprised that Ye Dong, a girl whose fracture had not fully healed, suddenly went crazy and hysterically pushed her.
There was a road right next to her.
Although in the 1980s, most streets in Beijing had bicycle lanes next to the sidewalks.
However, the bike lane was filled with bicycles and all kinds of tricycles.
The closest vehicle was driven by an older man who was diligently pedaling a tricycle loaded with furniture, unaware that someone had fallen out in front of him, and he was pedaling frantically.
Ning Yuan knew that if she fell like that and was hit by that tricycle, she would at least sprain her limbs, or at worst, suffer a fracture.
Her trained instincts caused her to instinctively twist her body, trying to stabilize her core and avoid the oncoming car!
Ye Yuan was startled when he saw her fall. He instinctively tried to grab her, otherwise that blind bastard Rong Zhaonan would have something to blame them for!
But Ye Dong, standing nearby, angrily grabbed his arm: "Don't you dare pull on that bad woman!"
Ning Yuan was already prepared for a painful fall when a rough, large hand suddenly reached out and pulled her up: "Advisor Ning, be careful!"
Ning Yuan was pulled and swayed by him, barely managing to avoid the tricycle.
"You bunch of youngsters, watch your step!" The tricycle driver glared at them angrily, then rode away grumbling.
Ning Yuan stumbled, a sharp pain shooting through her ankle, but she managed to steady herself.
She turned to look at the person who had saved her.
The man running the stall was wearing a tattered straw hat and carrying an old scale, but his bearded face made Ning Yuan pause in surprise: "Foreman Li, what are you doing here?"
She never expected that an acquaintance would pull her along again!
"How come you didn't die from this wicked woman?" Ye Dong saw that Ning Yuan was alright, and angrily helped Ye Yuan up before trying to get back into his wheelchair.
A cold glint flashed in Ning Yuan's eyes. She suddenly turned her head, rushed over in three steps, grabbed Ye Dong's hair fiercely, pulled him to the ground, and slapped him across the face twice with a resounding "slap slap!"
Ye Dong screamed in pain as his hair was grabbed: "Ahhh—brother—help me!!!"
She never imagined in her life that anyone would dare to hit her like that.
"Ning Yuan, are you crazy? How dare you hit someone in public!" Ye Yuan reacted, grabbed Ning Yuan's hand, and glared at her angrily.
Ning Yuan sneered, and with her free hand, she suddenly slapped Ye Yuan across the face: "I even hit you in public! An elder brother is like a father, and a father is responsible for the son's misbehavior. Reflect on what kind of trash you've raised!"
Ye Yuan's glasses were knocked askew, and his eyes turned red with anger. He grabbed Ning Yuan's wrist and yelled, "You country bumpkin, what do you think Beijing is! How dare you hit people like that?!"
Ning Yuan raised an eyebrow, spread her five fingers, and defiantly showed him that she had just forcefully snatched a handful of Ye Dong's hair from her hand—
"So what if I hit you? You're allowed to have your sister fight back, but others aren't allowed to retaliate? Is this the behavior of a feudal emperor?"
Seeing his sister's bloodshot hair fall loose, Ye Yuan trembled with rage and roughly grabbed her collar: "Ning Yuan!!!"
Seeing that things were not going well, Foreman Li rushed over and squeezed between Ning Yuan and Ye Yuan, grabbed Ye Yuan's hand, and roared—
"What?! You're a grown man, and you think you can lay a hand on a girl?! Let go, do you hear me?!"
Foreman Li is quite skilled; he's more than capable of dealing with Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan felt a sharp pain as Foreman Li forcefully pried his hand away.
As soon as they made their move, the onlookers excitedly swarmed around them in layers, eager to gossip.
"Brother! Brother!" Upon seeing this, Ye Dong covered her face in panic and screamed. What were these people doing? Were they laughing at her?
Her hair was pulled out, she must be bald now, she looks awful!
Ye Yuan saw Ye Dong cover his face and hair in a disheveled state, fall to the ground, and scream.
He could only suppress his anger, pull his hand back, and first help Ye Dong back into the wheelchair: "Dongdong, are you alright!"
"Brother! She hit me, she hit me! It hurts so much, my whole body hurts! I want to go home!!" Ye Dong cried and threw himself into Ye Yuan's arms.
The crowd of people watching the spectacle was three or four layers deep.
For a girl as privileged as her to be reduced to a laughingstock in the public eye was worse than death! She hated Ning Yuan to death!!
Ye Yuan, filled with anger, patted Ye Dong on the back to comfort him: "Let's go back to the hospital first!"
Given their status, it's inappropriate for them to get into a conflict with that shrew in a place like this.
The original driver had just dropped off Ye Yuan and his sister and hadn't even left when this "big show" happened, leaving him completely dumbfounded.
Upon hearing that Ye Yuan was taking Ye Dong back to the hospital, the driver quickly got out, opened the door, and helped Ye Yuan carry the wheelchair and Ye Dong into the car.
After settling Ye Dong in, Ye Yuan turned to Ning Yuan with a icy gaze: "Ning Yuan! Let me tell you, this isn't over!"
Ning Yuan wiped the blood from Ye Dong's fingertips with a handkerchief, lowered her eyes, and said coldly—
“Every place has its own rules of the game. I follow the ‘civilized’ rules of the game in Beijing, provided that everyone follows the rules.”
She suddenly raised her chin slightly, her large eyes staring straight at him, a faint smile playing on her lips—
"I gave you face because I was giving Rong Zhaonan face. Now I'm not giving face to anyone. We can all just shut up and be human. I'll wait and see how you're going to make a scene with me, Ye Yuan!"
For some reason, Ye Yuan felt a sudden tremor in his heart when he met her pair of dark eyes, which were like a deep, dark well.
The young woman in front of him was smiling, but that amiable, approachable smile instantly transformed into an indescribable ruthlessness.
It was gloomy and strange.
It was like a delicate face being torn open, revealing the ferocity and something indescribable beneath.
