Wang Danhong is a hot-tempered person, especially since she works at the Grain Bureau in an office, and people usually try to curry favor with her. But now, her daughter has been beaten up, which is like a slap in her face.
So she brought Ding Jie along, and the two of them ca to the Ye Family.
Bai Xue saw that the two of them didn’t look good, "What’s going on? What happened?"
Coming over so late at night and looking so upset, Bai Xue really couldn’t figure out what had happened.
"Bai Xue, call your daughter Ye Ling out here, let’s speak directly and sort this out. How could sothing happen that leads to soone being beaten this badly?" Wang Danhong pulled her daughter in front of her and pointed to her face, "Look at this, how swollen her face is? I’ve never laid a hand on this child since she was little, and now after one visit to your house, her face is swollen, and she was kicked in the stomach. What kind of hatred could this be?"
Bai Xue was genuinely stunned, "Ye Ling did this? When did this happen?"
Before Wang Danhong could speak again, Bai Xue had already rushed into the East Room, reaching out to pull up her eldest daughter sitting on a chair reading a book, "Get up, you’ve got so nerve, who gave you the guts to hit soone, I’ve spoiled you, just wait till I beat you to death."
As she spoke, she started hitting Ye Ling with her palm, but Ye Ling forcefully tried to shake off the hand grabbing her twice but failed. She raised her hand to block the hits, and her voice grew louder, "Are you still my mom? Even the court would ask what’s going on before determining a cri, but you, soone just said sothing, and you’re ready to beat to death. Fine, keep hitting. If you don’t kill today, I’ll cut my throat in front of you, and nobody will get away guilt-free."
Ding Jie’s face changed in the living room, "I think it’s better to call everyone into the living room and talk."
Last ti when Ye Ling had a row with her mother and ran away from ho, the entire compound knew about it. If they pushed her to the point of slitting her throat again and even if it wasn’t their fault, they’d still be criticized by everyone for a lifeti.
Wang Danhong was reluctant but truly afraid Ye Ling might actually do it, so she shouted towards the East Room, "Bai Xue, why are you hitting the child now? Let’s talk about it, don’t make it look like we ca here just for you to beat the child."
Ye Qian’s face turned pale in the living room, startled by what Ye Ling said. If sothing like this really happened at ho, she couldn’t expect anything good in life. Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but look towards Song i opposite her, only to see Song i with her head down, Jiang Yan next to her with lips tightly pressed together, hurriedly avoiding Ye Qian’s gaze when caught looking.
Ye Qian’s heart sank, this matter might not be so simple after all.
Although she didn’t like Ye Ling, she knew Ye Ling wasn’t soone who would hit without reason. Sothing must have happened to provoke her, especially at ho. Song i had always been provoking Ye Ling at school; it must be Song i’s fault this ti too.
Her mother just didn’t know how to endure. After all the pretense recently, was it all in vain with this incident today? And Bai Hehua was already scared to tears, but didn’t dare to cry out loud, just silently wiping tears at the side.
Inside the room, Bai Xue was already scared by her eldest daughter’s words, her hand in mid-air frozen, unable to bring it down, looking at the face neither dodging but lifted and eyes closed waiting for the hit, she finally let go of her hand, "Get out here."
She angrily threw down the words and went back to the living room first.
Ye Ling’s hair was ssed up, and she strode into the living room, not waiting for anyone to speak, she pointed at Song i, "Song i, everyone’s here now, so let’s talk about it. Do you dare to repeat what you said this afternoon?"
Song i snuggled closer to her mother’s side, looking frightened, Wang Danhong’s face darkened, and Ding Jie beside her furrowed his brows.
Bai Xue shouted, "Shut up, all the adults are here, when is it your turn to speak?"
Ye Ling didn’t care, looking mockingly at everyone in the living room, "This is really interesting, the truth gets twisted to lies here anyway. You ca here calling for accountability, now you want to shut up after I speak, so what do you an? Afraid of revealing the truth? Or just want to twist the truth?"
"Bai Xue, you see, we usually get along well, but today it seems I ca to the wrong place. In that case, no need to say more, we’ll just leave, and in the future, we’ll keep our distance as far as we can in order to avoid trouble, isn’t it possible?" Wang Danhong, losing face, tries to assert her authority as she did in her work unit.
As she spoke, she acted as if she was about to leave.
Bai Xue, seeing she had offended them, hurriedly stood up to apologize, "Danhong, you know my temperant, don’t you? This child was raised by her grandmother for so many years, and now she’s grown up and has her own ideas, I really am helpless."
This sentence took full responsibility directly.
Ye Ling knew it would turn out like this, but her heart still felt a chill seeing it, "Mom, there’s no need for you to lower yourself and apologize for an unfilial daughter like in front of others. Yes, I did hit Song i today, but I wasn’t wrong for doing it. Song i brought Jiang Yan ho and, seeing Bai Hehua alone at our ho, acted all superior asking about why Zhao Guodong left our house upset. This is gossiping about private matters and even in our ho to gossip about it. Isn’t that like trampling over our heads? I spoke up against her once, and she wasn’t happy, pointed at and accused of seducing n to do disreputable things at ho. Was I wrong to hit her for saying sothing like that?"
Song i tightly clung to her mother’s hand while Jiang Yan kept her head down, the faces of others in the room changed as well.
Ye Ling sneered while looking at her mother, "I hit her and she fought back, look at the scratches on my arm."
She rolled up her sleeve as she spoke, revealing several large red scratches on her fair arm, though not broken, the redness and swelling looked quite severe, causing Bai Xue’s face to change again. Ye Ling continued to mock, "And you? When they ca to our house, you didn’t hesitate to hit without asking questions, forcing to admit to seducing n and doing shaful things, is that right?"
"Shut up." Bai Xue’s face turned completely pale.
"Is that how it is?" Wang Danhong, snapping out of her shock, suppressed her insecurity and calmly asked her daughter beside her, "Xiao i, tell mom, is it like what Ye Ling said?"
"No... no, she’s lying." Song i had only one thought in mind, not to admit it.
But her deanor made it clear to anyone with eyes, the truth was evident. Wang Danhong felt furious inside, how could she have such a foolish daughter, saying such things. When she saw her daughter was beaten at ho, she just brought her here without questioning what happened, and now she deeply regretted it. (To be continued.
