Chapter 47 A Good Opportunity to Get Rid of Zhou Chi'an
Zhou Chi'an was caught off guard by the attack. He turned around and saw Zhao Wanru with a very cold look in her eyes.
Zhao Wanru subconsciously took two steps back: "You, you actually dared to beat my son! We will definitely investigate this matter to the end!"
Liu Qing quickly stepped forward and pulled Zhou Chi'an away, stopping him from continuing his attack.
Ye Zhen said coldly, "Your son started the fight first. He acted in self-defense."
Zhao Wanru helped Ye Chengbei up with great concern: "Son, are you alright? You're bleeding, don't scare your mother."
Ye Chengbei had bruises on his face and blood at the corner of his mouth, looking extremely disheveled.
At this moment, Ye Chengbei was furious.
Being beaten like this in front of so many people, he couldn't swallow this insult. He looked at Zhou Chi'an and said, "Mom, you must hire the best lawyer and send him to prison."
If Zhou Chi'an goes to jail, then the guaranteed admission spot at Yunjing University will be vacant.
Then he will get another chance to be recommended for university admission, and he can get rid of Zhou Chi'an, this thorn in his side.
This is truly a golden opportunity that's been delivered to us on a silver platter.
Ye Zhenzhu was supporting He Baizhou. Although she was in a better condition than Ye Chengbei, she had also been punched in the face.
Ye Zhenzhu looked at Ye Zhen and said, "Sister, how can you just stand by and watch Fourth Brother and Brother Baizhou get beaten up? Why are you so biased towards outsiders?"
Ye Zhen sneered: "It was Ye Chengbei who attacked first without distinguishing right from wrong. Are you blind?"
"Sister, it was clearly you who angered Fourth Brother first. He was only standing up for you because he was worried that you would be deceived by Zhou Chi'an."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wanru asked incredulously, "Pearl, what do you mean by that?"
"Mom, my sister hasn't come home for the past few days, but where could she have gone? I saw her with them today, so I guessed she might be staying at a friend's house. Fourth Brother was worried about her too, but..."
Ye Zhenzhu left her sentence unfinished, deliberately giving Zhao Wanru space to think.
After hearing this, Ye Zhen sneered: "Ye Zhenzhu, can you please stop talking nonsense?"
Actually, she didn't want to waste so much time talking, but since Zhou Chi'an had been involved in this matter, she had to take responsibility.
"Ye Zhen, shut up! Who gave you permission to talk about your sister like that?"
Zhao Wanru was extremely angry, pointing her finger at Ye Zhen's nose and scolding, "Haven't you learned your lesson this week? You're unrepentant and still hanging out with shady people outside. What exactly are you trying to do?"
"They are my friends, not shady characters. She's a top student from the school next door, the winner of the last research competition. He's the one who beat Ye Chengbei and got a guaranteed admission to Yunjing University. They are both excellent!"
Ye Zhen spoke at length.
Originally, she had nothing to say to the Ye family.
But now, for the sake of her friends, she has to make things clear.
Zhao Wanru was momentarily shocked. She hadn't expected these two to be so outstanding. She subconsciously looked at Zhou Chi'an, feeling that this boy gave off a familiar feeling.
Ye Chengbei snorted coldly: "Ye Zhen, how dare you talk about the guaranteed admission? If it weren't for you, would I have lost the competition and lost my guaranteed admission spot? I think you've been hooking up with Zhou Chi'an for a long time."
Ye Zhenzhu covered her mouth in surprise: "Sister, you didn't actually know Zhou Chi'an all along, did you? That makes sense, you also lived in an orphanage in the slums before, so your upbringing is similar to his."
After hearing these words, Zhao Wanru felt her head buzzing.
She looked at Ye Zhen and Zhou Chi'an, who was narrating, and her feelings became extremely complicated, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what they were.
Ye Zhen said with a mocking expression, "I'll say it one last time, I'm not doing this out of spite. I have no feelings for any of you. Leaving the Ye family will only make me feel more free."
"That won't do. You are my daughter. How can you leave the Ye family?"
If her relatives and friends found out, how would they laugh at her?
Zhao Wanru only wanted to teach Ye Zhen a lesson, but she didn't expect her to be so stubborn.
The situation has reached a stalemate.
Ye Zhenzhu looked at He Baizhou: "Brother Baizhou, say something."
At this moment, the person in charge came over: "Young Master He, the event is about to start, we can't delay any longer. There are still so many people watching here."
"Yes, yes, let's talk about these things after the event. Let's give out the awards first."
He Baizhou remembered that he had something important to do today. He was in charge of this event, and if he messed it up, his older brother would definitely scold him.
Although He Baizhou was also angry, work was more important right now.
Since He Baizhou had said so, the others couldn't say anything more.
He Baizhou followed the person in charge, and everyone gradually sat down.
Zhao Wanru looked at Ye Zhen, her tone reproachful: "If it weren't for Pearl smoothing things over for you, you wouldn't have been able to handle what happened just now."
"Mom, please don't say that to my sister, or she'll overthink it."
Ye Zhenzhu sat intimately next to Zhao Wanru, pretending to be well-behaved and sensible.
"If your sister were even half as sensible as you, I wouldn't have to worry about her so much."
Zhao Wanru patted Ye Zhenzhu's hand and looked at Ye Zhen with great disappointment.
Ye Zhen was unmoved by this; she just wanted to take the award and leave.
Lin Qing wanted nothing more than to scratch Hua Ye Zhenzhu's face. He looked so smug and despicable!
The awards ceremony began soon after.
He Baizhou also walked over and sat down. He was originally going to go on stage, but he had just been punched and his face was not looking good, so he had to arrange for someone else to go.
Ye Zhenzhu quickly took He Baizhou's arm: "Brother Baizhou, what place did you arrange for my sister?"
"Keep it a secret for now, you'll find out soon enough."
After He Baizhou finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Zhen, but then he remembered that Zhou Chi'an had ranked second, and he immediately became unhappy again.
If the eldest brother doesn't arrange for Ye Zhen to be number one, wouldn't Zhou Chi'an be number one?
Is this kid really that good?
Ye Chengbei snorted coldly: "Some people think they can do anything without the Ye family, but they still get awards because of their family connections."
Zhao Wanru frowned: "Bai Zhou, if Ye Zhen wasn't capable, you wouldn't have arranged things this way."
This only fueled Ye Zhen's appetite, making her even harder to control in the future.
He Baizhou laughed happily: "This is nothing, after all, Ye Zhen is my fiancée."
Ye Zhen felt disgusted when she heard this, as if she had swallowed a fly.
She clearly got there through her own abilities, so why does He Baizhou make it sound like she really didn't have the ability to get in through connections?
Liu Qing couldn't help but speak up, "Everyone knows that He Shen is very principled and would never let anyone get in through connections. Is Second Young Master He questioning your brother?"
"Don't talk nonsense. My older brother is very principled, but he's even better to me. Of course, Ye Zhen is also quite capable, otherwise she wouldn't have been selected."
He Baizhou quickly tried to cover it up, otherwise he would be in big trouble if the news got back to his older brother.
Zhao Wanru looked at Ye Zhen with suspicion. Was her daughter really that outstanding?
The host soon began presenting the awards.
Finally, Zhou Chi'an's name was called; he came in second.
Ye Zhenzhu asked in shock, "Then, is my sister the number one?"
