The secretary staggered, Gao Han, who was leaning entirely on the secretary, stepped back twice, and nearly fell over as the secretary stopped supporting him.
“Slap.” He slapped Ye Tianjiao hard across the face. 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
Ye Tianjiao’s face instantly swelled on one side; she covered her face and stumbled, falling into the arms of the man behind her.
The encounter at Charm Bar could be described as ending on a sour note.
After Ye Tianjiao left the bar, Ye Tianjing immediately called, saying their mother had woken up.
As soon as Ye Tianjiao heard the news, she hurried over.
Outside the hospital room, Ye Tianjing saw Ye Tianjiao rush in hastily.
When he saw the red, swollen half of her face, the look in his eyes turned horrifying: “What happened?”
“Nothing.” Ye Tianjiao turned her face away, not letting him see.
“How’s mom?”
Ye Tianjing blocked her way: “Dad’s inside.
Are you planning to see mom looking like this?
Do you want her to faint from shock right after waking up?”
Ye Tianjiao had a slightly tense expression on her face: “Well brother, what should I do?”
Ye Tianjing really wanted to scold her, but seeing how pitiful she looked, he couldn’t bring himself to do it: “I’ll have someone bring some ice, you can use it to soothe the swelling.”
Ye Tianjiao sat with her head hanging low on a chair, her figure lonely.
“Where’s Gao Han?” Ye Tianjing walked over briskly and sat next to her.
Ye Tianjiao pulled the corner of her mouth into a forced smile: “He is busy with company matters.”
“Really?
Then how did you get that injury on your face?” Ye Tianjing’s gaze was as sharp as a torch, insightful as if he could see through everything.
Ye Tianjiao turned her head, refusing to meet Ye Tianjing’s probing eyes: “Brother, don’t ask anymore.”
“You think I want to ask?
We’re in dire circumstances, do you want to stir up more trouble?” Ye Tianjing involuntarily raised his voice, sounding accusing.
“Do you think I want this?
Am I not distressed when the company is in trouble?
When have I ever come to you guys for solace?” Tears welled up in Ye Tianjiao’s eyes.
Seeing Ye Tianjiao’s teary eyes, Ye Tianjing couldn’t get angry anymore.
He heaved a sigh and said earnestly: “I don’t know what happened between you and Gao Han, but as a man, no one likes his wife to be too capricious, especially now when company matters are causing headaches.
No one has the energy to coax you.
If you quarrel with him at this time, you are pushing him towards other women.”
Ye Tianjing’s words woke Ye Tianjiao up.
“Then brother, what should I do now?
I just had an argument with him.” Ye Tianjiao buried her face in her hands.
Ye Tianjing patted her back: “It was just an argument, it’s fine.
If he dares to leave you, I’ll help teach him a lesson.”
Ye Tianjiao finally burst into tears in Ye Tianjing’s arms, as if venting all her suppressed grievances of the past days.
After the crying was over, their father came out of the room.
Seeing Ye Tianjiao with red and swollen eyes from crying, he frowned: “What are you crying about?”
Ye Tianjiao turned her face, the swollen half hidden in darkness, so her father didn’t see it: “I’m happy that mom woke up.”
“Wipe away your tears, go home and rest if you’re tired.
The hospital has people watching over her, it doesn’t look good for a married daughter to keep running back to her parents’ house.”
“I’ll accompany mom for one night, then leave tomorrow.
Han is busy with company matters these days, and I can’t help much, so I’ll take care of mom in the hospital.” Ye Tianjiao wiped away her tears.
Their father didn’t say anything more and left with his entourage.
