The crowd gasped and surrounded Ji Xiaoyun.
Ji Xiaoyun's cheeks were swollen, and blood was still dripping from the corner of her mouth. She looked very seriously injured.
However, Ni Sitian felt that her slap couldn't possibly have been that damaging, and she suspected that Ji Xiaoyun was just faking it!
The others were busy lifting Ji Xiaoyun up, preparing to take her to the hospital.
"You deliberately injured someone in front of so many people. How will you explain yourself when I see the police station!" Editor-in-Chief Ma had someone call the police.
Ni Sitian held her head high. She wasn't unafraid, but she didn't regret it. She even felt that the slap wasn't enough to vent her anger!
She is kind to people in general, but that doesn't mean others can take advantage of her like she's a pushover!
"Editor-in-chief, are we really going to call the police?" The assistant hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Xiao Ya, reminding him that he had also hit someone earlier.
Editor-in-Chief Ma glanced at Xiao Ya's swollen cheek, his expression darkening further. He felt that Xiao Ya had been defying him by shielding Ni Sitian from a slap, and angrily shouted, "What kind of hero are you! What are you trying to prove! Get back to writing this month's feature!"
Ni Sitian was trembling with anger. He was allowed to let his lover frame people, but he wouldn't allow others to seek justice!
Just as she was about to argue with Editor-in-Chief Ma, Xiao Ya stopped her, shook her head, and gestured for her to hold back.
She had no choice but to grit her teeth and bear it for now. She could give up the internship, and she could ignore what Editor-in-Chief Ma filled out in her file, but she couldn't let Xiao Ya suffer, because Xiao Ya still needed to work here.
"I'll settle the score with you when I get back!" Editor-in-Chief Ma sneered, put his hands behind his back, and turned around to follow several people as they carried Ji Xiaoyun downstairs and took her to the hospital.
After everyone dispersed and returned to their work stations, their eyes still occasionally drifted towards Ni Sitian.
Ni Sitian didn't want to pay attention to that and went to check on Xiao Ya's injuries.
Xiao Ya's face was badly swollen, and the five finger marks were unusually clear.
"Sister Xiao, I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this." Ni Sitian felt a tightness in her chest when she saw someone else suffering for her, and said guiltily, "Let me put an ice pack on it for you."
She helped Xiao Ya to her seat, then went to the refrigerator in the tea room to find ice cubes, put them in a plastic bag, and used them to apply ice to Xiao Ya's face to reduce swelling.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Xiao Ya touched her cheek, and couldn't help but gasp as she spoke.
Seeing this, Ni Sitian felt even more guilty, but also a little touched. No one believed her, except for Xiao Ya who stood by her side.
"Alright, don't look so gloomy," Xiao Ya patted Ni Sitian's hand to comfort her.
Just as Ni Sitian was about to thank her, her phone rang.
She took it out and saw that it was Xu Tingchuan calling, so she stood up and went to the stairwell to answer it.
She held the phone to her ear and whispered a greeting.
Xu Tingchuan had just gotten off the plane, and his ears were still a little stuffy. He didn't notice anything wrong with her voice and said with a smile, "The plane changed its route at the last minute and is in New York now. I just saw that you called me. It's almost midnight there, isn't it?"
He was overjoyed when he saw her caller ID appear in his phone's contacts.
And she called him in the middle of the night last night. She must be missing him just as much as he misses her, which is why she can't sleep.
"Mmm." When Ni Sitian heard Xu Tingchuan's voice, a bittersweet feeling welled up in her heart. She hadn't even thought of crying when she was wronged and aggrieved, but tears rolled down her cheeks after hearing his voice.
