Chapter 72 Ugly Duckling's Rise to Power: She Squeezes Out the School Beauty and Becomes a Coup
Yan Xiyue's brows furrowed deeper, her eyes revealing a chilling coldness. She questioned again without mercy, "Jingya, do you really intend to kill Mu Wanwan?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jingya abruptly raised her head and hurriedly waved her hands in denial, saying, "I didn't, I absolutely didn't have such thoughts! I just... I was just really angry and wanted to teach her a lesson, to give her a good scolding. I just wanted her to back down and stay far away from Ye Xingchen!"
Lin Jingya knew very well that, as a woman, her keen sixth sense had long told her that the relationship between Mu Wanwan and Ye Xingchen was definitely not simple, and that there must be some kind of subtle and inexplicable emotion surging between them. Today, she finally learned the cruel truth.
Yan Xiyue didn't believe her nonsense at all. "Sigh! Good luck to you!"
This time, she didn't help Lin Jingya up from the ground. She had thought they could still be friends, but Lin Jingya's extreme behavior today really frightened her.
If Mu Wanwan were to pursue Lin Jingya's responsibility this time, she would definitely not be able to escape. Yan Xiyue looked up at the surveillance camera above her head, then stepped away, leaving Lin Jingya alone to cry.
Mu Wanwan was rushed to the hospital and began a series of complicated and detailed examinations. However, facing all of this alone, he gradually felt overwhelmed and unable to cope. Helpless, he had no choice but to call his mother, hoping to get her support and help.
Upon receiving the news, Ms. Ye was extremely anxious. She dropped everything and rushed to the hospital without stopping.
Throughout the journey, her heart was pounding, fearing that something terrible might happen to Mu Wanwan.
When she finally arrived at the hospital ward, breathless, what she saw was a heartbreaking scene—Mu Wanwan was lying quietly on the hospital bed, her originally fair and rosy face now as pale as paper, without any color, and she looked as if she had lost all her vitality.
Seeing this, Mrs. Ye's heart ached. Mu Wanwan was the child her best friend had entrusted to her care! Now, she was in such a state; she felt utterly ashamed to face Mu Wanwan's parents. Mrs. Ye couldn't help but feel guilty, tears welling in her eyes.
She kicked her son, yelling, "I told you to take care of Wanwan, and this is how you take care of her? How did you end up in the hospital? Tell me! What exactly happened?"
Ye Xingchen had no choice but to honestly recount the whole story. "Ye Xingchen, do you really like Wanwan?"
He nodded solemnly in confirmation. If Wanwan hadn't wanted to go public, he would have announced their relationship to the world long ago.
Her son was popular with girls from a young age, and as his mother, she was well aware of this. When he was in school, many girls with crushes sent him love letters, but he never accepted a single one.
She had been secretly thinking to herself how wonderful it would be if Wanwan could become her daughter-in-law!
Now that this beautiful wish seems to be gradually coming true, she should logically feel extremely happy.
Now, the unwanted advances surrounding her son have tormented Wanwan into this haggard and heartbreaking state, and her heart is instantly filled with worry.
Mother Ye was truly afraid that after Wanwan followed her son, she would suffer even more grievances and hardships in the future, and she wondered if her son would still be able to protect Wanwan!
She glared at Ye Xingchen with a look of anger and disappointment, her eyes revealing deep disappointment and reproach.
Ye Xingchen was completely unaware of his mother's gaze. All his attention was focused on Mu Wanwan. Looking at her pale face and weak expression, he felt endless tenderness and love.
Suddenly, Mrs. Ye asked, "What do you plan to do with that girl surnamed Lin?"
A hint of resentment flashed in Ye Xingchen's eyes, which had been filled with tenderness.
He could never have imagined that Lin Jingya, who usually seemed so well-mannered and gentle, could be so ruthless, even worse than those bullying classmates who often bullied others.
It turns out that she had always presented herself as a virtuous and gentle person, and no one knew that beneath this seemingly kind and harmless exterior lay a heart of a viper.
"Mom, don't worry, I've already reported it to the police. I reckon that despicable Lin Jingya is probably already in the station, being 'chatted' by now!" Ye Xingchen said angrily.
Lin Jingya's actions this time are far more than just ordinary school bullying.
Ye Xingchen grew angrier the more he thought about it. In his opinion, this behavior was so serious that it could almost be called attempted murder!
“Son, you did a great job! This is how you make an example of someone to warn others. Let those with ill intentions see what happens to anyone who dares to lay a finger on Wanwan! This way, no one will dare to bully Wanwan again!” Mother Ye agreed with her son’s approach.
Just then, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open, and several doctors and nurses in white coats filed in.
One of the nurses, holding a report, quickly walked to the doctor with a receding hairline who was standing at the front of the line and handed him the report.
Judging from the doctor's appearance and the position he was standing in, one could tell that he was undoubtedly the most authoritative attending physician among this group.
"Excuse me, which of you is Mu Wanwan's family member?" the attending physician asked, glancing at the mother and child in front of him.
"Yes, that's me!" Ye Xingchen answered without hesitation.
"It is I!" the mother quickly replied.
Upon hearing their simultaneous responses, the attending physician nodded slightly, then looked them over carefully.
After a brief pause, he coughed lightly.
"Due to the accidental inhalation of a small amount of water into the lungs, although the amount is small, there is a potential risk of inflammation. In view of this situation, the patient must stay in the hospital for further observation to prevent the occurrence of sudden pneumonia. During this period, your family needs to arrange for someone to stay in the hospital to take care of the patient so as to monitor changes in the patient's condition at any time."
Just as the doctor finished speaking, Ye Xingchen shouted without hesitation, "I'll stay!"
His voice was urgent, as if he were afraid that someone else would take the opportunity away from him.
The doctor nodded slightly to show his understanding, and emphasized again, "You can discuss it yourselves; only one person needs to stay."
The doctor then began to explain in detail a series of precautions to take afterward.
Ye Xingchen listened intently to every word the doctor said, even taking out his phone to jot down the key points in his notes. He dared not slack off in the slightest, lest he miss even the smallest detail of the doctor's instructions.
After the doctor and Ye's mother left, the ward fell into silence.
