"I’m fine, it’s just a superficial wound, just needs bandaging," Ye Zi responded, but her face, which had been slapped, was still a bit swollen. When she spoke, it pulled at the corner of her mouth, causing her to gasp in pain.
"Qi Chengnan, you should take Ye Zi ho to rest," Bian Xiulin glanced at Ye Zi and furrowed her pretty eyebrow.
Upon hearing Bian Xiulin ntion this, He Zhilan said to Ye Zi, "Ye Zi, Qi Chengnan has already arranged for your parents to be settled down. Now let Qi Chengnan take you to where your parents are. It’s safer for your family not to go ho for the ti being."
Ye Zi nodded, thanked them, and then left the hospital with Qi Chengnan.
Once the two left, Bian Muhe said, "This incident happened in the nightclub, and there were too many witnesses. If the deceased’s family insists on seeking justice and doesn’t accept a private settlent, Ye Zi might face imprisonnt."
Bian Muhe voiced the outco everyone had been thinking, He Zhilan and He Teng exchanged glances with helpless expressions on their faces.
If there weren’t so many witnesses, this matter could have been handled more easily. But since it happened in a nightclub, a newly opened one with many custors, trying to cover sothing up is really quite difficult.
"You all should go ho and rest; there’s nothing much to worry about at the hospital. We can notify Lin Deng’s family once he wakes up. His mother can be quite difficult," Bian Xiulin yawned, saying, "I want to go ho and be with Baobei. I wonder when Xing Ye will return from his trip; I should still discuss this matter with him. It’s lucky he wasn’t with us tonight."
When He Zhilan and He Teng returned ho, Little Tuanyuan was already asleep with He’s father. He Da, still waiting for news, asked about the situation on both sides when they arrived, finally relaxing once he knew Lin Deng was okay.
"I’ve been worrying since returning from the nightclub," He Da, having difficulty moving, left the nightclub early with Chen Ning and went ho, but remained waiting for news.
That night was exhausting for everyone, especially for Ye Zi’s family, feeling as if they were in a dream.
Ye Zi and her family stayed up all night, recounting everything that happened that evening to her parents.
"So that’s how it was. Tonight soone suddenly said a friend of yours told us not to stay at ho and brought your mom and here; we were quite startled," Ye’s father shook his head. "Daughter, don’t feel bad. You didn’t intend to take a life. You started out trying to protect yourself and Lin Deng, didn’t you?"
As a father, how could he not know his own daughter’s temperant—kind-hearted from a young age? He knew how scared she must be for accidentally killing soone.
"Daughter, what’s a big shot’s business to you? Why did you have to get involved in the ss? A life was lost, they’re fine, but what about you? We can’t just keep hiding like this forever. We, your dad and I, are old and it’s okay, but what about you? You have work, you’re still young and not yet married," Ye’s mother cried softly beside.
"Mom, if I hadn’t helped Lin Deng, he would have been crushed to death by the wheelchair! Do you know how heavy a wheelchair is? He’s been unwell these days; if it hit him, could he have survived? Mom, I have no regrets at all. If I hadn’t helped Lin Deng, I’d have been plagued by a troubled conscience for life," Ye Zi bit her lip, "Mom, Dad, I’m sorry for dragging you into this."
