Li Mochan had just left when a woman’s delicate voice sounded from behind.
"Miss Ye."
Ye Jiuliang turned her head back, and in the dim light, the woman approached with a beaming smile.
A breeze blew by, causing the woman’s white skirt to ripple elegantly.
Stopping beside her, Su Yishan halted her steps.
"Why is Miss Ye all alone? Waiting for soone?"
Ye Jiuliang indifferently withdrew her gaze to look at the lake, "Do you need sothing?"
"Miss Ye, I’ve been wanting to ask you sothing, are you and Mohan really together?" Su Yishan turned her face, looking at the girl’s side face hidden under the hat. Even with a bare face, her stunning beauty was undeniable.
In the night, it was as if she could sll a scent of provocation.
The Lotus Lanterns were yet to be released, but here ca a large white lotus.
Ye Jiuliang tugged at her lips, speaking in a cold tone, "Is that any of your concern?"
"Miss Ye, I might as well be frank with you. Our Su Family and the Li Family have been close for many years, and Uncle Li has ntioned the marriage between Mohan and to my grandfather several tis," Yishan said, clenching her fists and gathering her courage.
"Moreover, I’ve heard that Old Master Ye doesn’t want you to get too close to Mohan. You really aren’t suitable for each other. You’re still young and haven’t figured out so things yet. Better to give up early before you get in too deep and end up hurting yourself."
Ye Jiuliang, with her hands in her pockets, cast a cold glance at her, her voice tinged with a mocking smile, "Go on."
Unable to decipher her thoughts, Su Yishan bit her lip, now without any other way out. If she hesitated any longer, she would truly miss her chance.
She had liked Mohan for so many years and would certainly not hand him over to soone else easily.
"Miss Ye, you won’t be happy without your family’s blessings. Please consider it as begging you, if you’re willing to step back, I will surely thank you properly," Yishan said, tears welling up in her eyes, her pitiful deanor easily arousing the protective instinct in others.
"I really can’t lose Mohan, I cannot live without him, please."
"Heh."
A cold laugh spread, tinged with sarcasm.
Using her height to her advantage, Ye Jiuliang looked down at her with a mischievously wicked smile on her lips.
"If you can’t live on, then don’t force yourself to keep living."
She dared speak so righteously about taking my man, was she really that shaless?
With tear stains on her face, Su Yishan was caught off-guard by Ye Jiuliang’s unconventional response, "You..."
Taking a decisive step forward, Ye Jiuliang’s imposing aura forced Su Yishan to reflexively step back.
"Young I may be, but I have a formidable temper." Her narrow eyes slightly narrowed, shining with a cold light.
"Li Mochan is mine; anyone who dares to snatch him will face my wrath. There’s a limit to wishful thinking—too much and it gets disgusting," Jiuliang stated fiercely, her hostility overwhelming the area with a formidable pressure towards Su Yishan.
Her already wavering confidence was instantly consud, her face turning pale as if soone was choking her, she struggled to breathe.
"You, you, you..."
After rely two seconds of eye contact, she hurriedly looked away, forcing herself to calm down.
Gathering her composure, Su Yishan raised her head once again, her face no longer feigning a smile.
"Ye Jiuliang, must you really compete with ?"
A sneer of contempt flashed across Ye Jiuliang’s face, "Three seconds, get out of my sight."
Fixing her gaze on Ye Jiuliang, Su Yishan took a deep breath and, with a "thud", her knees hit the stone pavent heavily.
"I’m begging you like this, isn’t it enough?"
As more people around began to set up lanterns, Su Yishan’s action of kneeling attracted nurous curious gazes.
Noticing more people heading their way, Ye Jiuliang’s eyes chilled, "You want to play the part of a tragic heroine?"
Seeing Li Jingxuan and others among the crowd, Su Yishan stood up, a vicious gleam in her eyes.
Ye Jiuliang, you forced to do this.
"Miss Ye, I really won’t compete with you for Mohan." She suddenly reached out to grab Ye Jiuliang’s hand, her voice quivering with sobs and tinged with a hint of panic.
"Jiuliang, don’t push , I’m scared..."
Ye Jiuliang’s eyes were slightly cold as she sidestepped.
Anticipating that Ye Jiuliang would dodge, Su Yishan, in her high heels, stumbled, and her body lost balance, falling into the lake.
A "splash" sounded, creating ripples upon the water.
Under the dim night sky, the people rushing over witnessed this scene, expressions of shock on their faces.
From their perspective, and with the darkness of night, it naturally appeared as if Ye Jiuliang had pushed Su Yishan into the lake.
Moreover, the words Su Yishan had scread out just before lent themselves to wild speculation.
"Help, sobody help..."
Su Yishan flailed her arms, panicked and pleading for help.
"Save ..."
"Soone’s fallen into the water, hurry and save her!" Li Jingxuan, leading the charge, was startled to see Su Yishan struggling and crying for help in the lake.
She turned her head and saw that Li Jingjie had also arrived and urgently said, "Big brother, quickly save Yishan."
The relation between the Li Family and the Su Family was good; under these circumstances, Li Jingjie naturally couldn’t just stand by and watch.
His expression darkened as he dived into the lake.
Li Jingjie was a good swimr and quickly grabbed hold of Su Yishan’s hand, swimming with her towards the shore.
People relaxed, but when they turned to look at Ye Jiuliang, their gaze held a touch of strangeness.
"Ye Jiuliang, have you lost your mind?" Seeing that Su Yishan was unhard, Li Jingxuan rushed up to Ye Jiuliang, coldly accusing her.
"Yishan has done nothing to wrong you; how could your heart be so cruel as to push soone into the lake? Did you intend to kill her?"
Ye Jiuliang looked on indifferently at the rescued Su Yishan, the corners of her lips curling into a bloodthirsty smile.
Is this the extent of your pathetic sche?
"What happened?" Ye Lei and others followed the noise and arrived, seeing Ye Jiuliang being pointed at by everyone, feeling an ominous premonition.
"Brother, Ye Jiuliang pushed Yishan into the lake," Ye Xin whispered to Ye Lei.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lei’s face changed slightly.
anwhile, Li Jingjie and Su Yishan had been helped up.
"Yishan, are you alright?" Li Jingxuan took a towel offered by a waiter and draped it over Su Yishan.
Su Yishan clutched the towel; her hair was a ss, and she was drenched, thoroughly in disarray.
She shivered, coughing uncontrollably.
"Cough cough cough."
"I, I..." Her face pale, she was about to speak when her eyelids gradually closed, and she suddenly fainted.
"Yishan." Li Jingxuan quickly steadied her.
Li Jingqi stretched out his hands to catch Su Yishan, lifting her up in his arms. "Jingxuan, I’ve got her, you go find a doctor."
"Okay."
Li Jingqi left with Su Yishan in his arms, and Li Jingjie and others hurriedly followed.
"Ye Jiuliang, where do you expect our Ye Family to put our faces?" Ye Xin stamped her foot, glaring at Ye Jiuliang, her tone very harsh.
"All right, Xinxin, let’s hurry over and see what’s happened," Ye Lei said as he held her back, his gaze complex as he glanced at Ye Jiuliang and pulled her away.
If this incident blew up, their Ye Family would still have to clean up the ss.
