The tone was fierce, totally lacking in tenderness.
Xiyan sniffled, feeling utterly wronged.
It’s all because I was trying to save you!
Do you think I wanted to end up like this?
But Luo Mingchuan insisted on threatening her with matters regarding the contract.
And that contract—well, it was an unspeakable secret.
She couldn’t possibly tell Ou Jue about what had happened with the water!
She could only suffer in silence and swallow this helpless grievance.
Hmph, mood utterly ruined!
Like a sulky child, Xiyan averted her gaze and refused to look at him.
"Does it still hurt anywhere?"
"What’s the point if it does? Nobody cares about anyway. Might as well hurt to death." Her voice had a hint of spite.
Ou Jue felt like the softest part of his heart had been gently struck by sothing.
He sighed silently and carefully lifted her hand, checking if there were any other scrapes on her body.
The door was lightly knocked before Yin Qianze walked in, followed by several bodyguards who brought Xia Shiyi and Luo Xueying inside.
"Ou Jue, Xiyan, I’ve brought them."
The bodyguards shoved the two of them forward harshly. "Move!"
Ou Jue fixed a cold glare on the pair. "I didn’t have ti to deal with you earlier. Now, you’d better tell clearly—just what did you do to Xia Xiyan?!"
Xia Shiyi bit her lip hard, shot a hateful glance at Xiyan, then tried to feign innocence as she looked at Ou Jue. "Young Master Ou, Xueying and I just happened to pass by while going to the restroom. We don’t know what you’re talking about..."
Damn it, damn it, damn it.
Xiyan was so infuriated she sat upright, not holding back as she exposed Xia Shiyi’s lies. "Xia Shiyi, can you stop pretending? Earlier, when my stomach ached so much I almost fainted, who was the one who took advantage to stomp on ? Who was the one punching and kicking ? Wasn’t it you and Luo Xueying?! You just happened to pass by? You actually have the audacity to say that out loud?!"
On the way to the infirmary, Xia Shiyi had already ntally prepared herself thoroughly.
No matter what, she couldn’t admit to it.
Otherwise, she and Xueying wouldn’t be able to walk away from this unscathed!
With that thought, Xia Shiyi steadied herself and spoke in a pitiful tone, "I don’t know what you’re talking about... Young Master Ou, I’m truly being wronged here. Xueying and I bumped into Xiyan in the restroom, and we saw her fainted there. We were so scared, and we were just about to call an ambulance when you suddenly rushed in..."
After speaking, Xia Shiyi turned to Luo Xueying. "Isn’t that right, Xueying?"
Luo Xueying nodded uneasily. "Right, exactly... When we got there, Xia Xiyan had already passed out!"
Yin Qianze spoke calmly, "Then explain why the restroom door was locked."
Outside the infirmary, many students gathered to watch the commotion.
At that mont, soone softly said, "Young Master Ou, Young Master Yin, the lock on that restroom door has been broken for ages but still hasn’t been fixed..."
A flicker of smug satisfaction appeared in Xia Shiyi’s eyes.
Perfect, even the heavens are helping her!
"You’re lying!" Xiyan argued fervently, her eyes reddened with frustration. Although the effects of the dication had worn off, her stomach still ached faintly.
"At the ti, my stomach was hurting so badly I was about to pass out, but these two took the opportunity to mock cruelly, threatening in all sorts of ways! They even punched and kicked !"
Upon hearing this, Xia Shiyi looked as if she had suffered an enormous grievance, her eyes welling with tears as she stared at Xiyan. "You’re accusing of punching and kicking you? Who saw it? Who can testify? Xueying and I were kind enough to want to call an ambulance for you, but instead, you’re falsely accusing us like this. Xia Xiyan, doesn’t your conscience
