Jian Yunzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and said, âIâm not worried about them. Iâm concerned about my sister. Sheâs fainted now, frightened by you.â
Everyone at the scene was puzzled. They were puzzled by Jian Yunzhouâs lie.
The floor is littered with kneeling servants, blood everywhere, yet Rong Qi is unscathed. They werenât sure if Jian Yunzhou was looking at the truth around him.
Ms. Liu said, âMr. Jian, your sister was fine just a moment ago. She suddenly fell over when she heard you coming in. Thatâs quite a coincidence.â
âYou mean my sister is pretending?â Jian Yunzhou turned to Old Master Ye. âI didnât expect my first invitation to the Ye residence for tea to be met with my sister being bullied. Itâs one thing for Mr. Ye to be absent, but my sister being knocked unconscious? Is the Ye family trying to disrespect me, Jian Yunzhou?â
âNo, no, Mr. Jian, youâve misunderstood. We didnât target you,â Ms. Liu hurriedly said.
Ms. Liu had heard from Ye Shaochen about inviting an important guest to the Ye residence, but she hadnât expected it to be Rong Qiâs brother, and on this very day. Had Ms. Liu known, she would have stayed away. Ms Liu thought if her actions against those from Clearcreek Mansion ruined her sonâs prospects, sheâd regret it to death.
But at that moment, Rong Qi, frustratingly silent, lay in Jian Yunzhouâs arms, eyes closed, face pale, looking utterly weak.
Ms. Liu was so angry. If this was an act, then Rong Qi was doing it too convincingly.
Another woman spoke up, her voice still gentle, âMr. Jian, you really have misunderstood. Your sister fainted on her own; no one targeted her. On the contrary, all these servants in the living room were injured by her alone.â
Implying that Rong Qi was so formidable that not only did they gain no advantage, but they were also counterattacked.
Jian Yunzhouâs cold brows furrowed slightly as he looked at the people on the ground. He asked, âTheyâre that weak? To be beaten like this by someone as frail as Rong Qi was too pathetic.â
Everyone was shocked by Jian Yunzhouâs remark.
Mrs. Ye Sr., with a stern face, glanced at Rong Qi in Jian Yunzhouâs arms and ordered, âSend someone to get a doctor. I refuse to believe that someone fine just now could faint so suddenly!â
Jian Yunzhouâs eyes flickered, glancing at the person in his arms, standing still on the ground.
Mrs. Hong and Mrs. Fan were genuinely worried about Rong Qi. Especially seeing how Rong Qiâs face had turned as white as it could be. They thought whether it was real or fake fainting, her health was the most important.
The family doctor arrived quickly, seeing Rong Qi still standing, and a tall man next to her, said, âPlease lay the patient on a chair.â
âAm I in your way by standing here?â Jian Yunzhou asked.
The family doctor was at a loss. He thought, âItâs not about you standing; the patient is also still standing!â
But seeing the manâs imposing demeanor, the family doctor hesitated to approach. After a moment, he moved forward, attempting to check Rong Qiâs pulse.
Jian Yunzhou suddenly spoke, âBe professional, will you? No handkerchief? Donât you know about gender propriety?â
âRong Qi isnât just anyone to be touched casually.â Jian Yunzhou thought.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The family doctor, thoroughly flustered, turned back and had a servant fetch a handkerchief. Yet, just as he touched Rong Qiâs wrist, his expression drastically changed, and he checked her pulse again, more carefully.
Those who were previously skeptical now watched the family doctorâs solemn expression and instantly became uneasy..
