In the distance, a voice urging from Fang Qian'an said, "Aren't they here yet?"
Ming Silian's heart leaped with joy, and her expression relaxed.
However, Fu Yinxiu sneered coldly, "You think you can frame my Tong Tong with such clumsy tricks?"
Ming Silian was taken aback by Fu Yinxiu's sudden remark. Her gaze involuntarily darted to Ming Yutong, finding it hard to reconcile the image of the capable and independent Ming Yutong with Fu Yinxiu's endearing nickname, "Tong Tong."
Ming Silian was still trying to figure out what was going on.
The man's reaction was quite different from what she expected!
Just as she was puzzled, Fu Yinxiu suddenly raised his hand and slapped Ming Silian hard.
Ming Silian, who had already slapped herself with considerable force, causing half of her face to swell, was shocked to experience an even harsher blow from Fu Yinxiu.
The tall and handsome man seemed to have no qualms about hitting a woman, and his eyes remained unblinking as he struck Ming Silian, who was almost thrown off her feet and fell hard to the ground.
Ming Silian's fall was nothing short of brutal, hitting the ground face-first with significant force.
Ming Yutong winced at the sound of the impact.
"Ha," Fu Yinxiu mocked coldly, "Since you like to act so much, why not make it more real and save your energy." Fu Yinxiu said with disgust.
But when he turned to look at Ming Yutong, his expression softened immediately.
With a face full of affection, he took Ming Yutong's hand and said, "If she dares to scheme against you, I won't let her off."
Ming Yutong: "..."
It was truly a struggle to keep her composure, and she couldn't help but feel her lips twitch.
Ming Silian had just raised her head, propping herself up. Her hair was scattered, hiding her face. Her ear, struck by Fu Yinxiu's slap, was ringing with a dull thud.
Hearing Fu Yinxiu's words from a distance, Ming Silian was so enraged that she almost fell back to the ground.
Fu Yinxiu, seeing Ming Yutong's silence, thought she was uncomfortable with him using violence.
He hurriedly explained to Ming Yutong, "Tong Tong, don't worry. I wouldn't hesitate to act against anyone other than you. I wouldn't even hurt a hair on you."
Fu Yinxiu added, "As for that kind of person, she doesn't deserve any mercy. You're just too kind-hearted."
Ming Silian, hearing this, was so furious she almost spat blood.
She collapsed back to the ground.
Ming Yutong, kind-hearted?
Ming Yutong is kind-hearted?
Ming Silian couldn't believe the absurdity of the man's words. How could he call Ming Yutong kind-hearted when she was ruthless in her business dealings?
If Ming Yutong were truly kind-hearted, would she have been able to grow her business to such a scale?
This man was clearly delusional!
And how could he be so indifferent knowing that Ming Yutong was involved with other men? Was he crazy?
Fang Qian'an, upon turning the corner, saw Ming Silian in a pitiful state on the ground and immediately ran over.
"Silian, what happened?" Fang Qian'an asked as she helped her up.
Ming Jingshui also approached and saw Ming Silian standing up with difficulty.
Fang Qian'an helped Ming Silian straighten her hair, revealing her swollen, red face. Fu Yinxiu's slap had perfectly covered the bruise Ming Silian had given herself earlier.
Now, only Fu Yinxiu's handprint remained, making Ming Silian's face look even more horrifying.
Her cheek was swollen and blood was seeping beneath her skin, giving it a dreadful appearance. Her lips were bleeding, and she could taste blood from her gums, with her back teeth feeling loose.
Fang Qian'an and Ming Jingshui could clearly see the severe injury on her face.
Ming Silian, seeing her parents, burst into tears. But only one side of her face could move. The other side was so swollen that speaking or touching her lips was agonizing.
Fang Qian'an glared furiously at Fu Yinxiu and Ming Yuqian, "Yutong, what's going on here?"
Before Ming Yutong could speak, Fu Yinxiu angrily pointed at Ming Silian and said, "Why don't you ask her? She shamelessly tried to seduce me and threw herself at me! I'm Tong Tong's, and I won't let her taint me!"
Ming Yutong: "..."
The statement sounded so off.
"I had warned her before. If she came again, I would act. Since she didn't believe me, I had to act," Fu Yinxiu said seriously, though his tone had an inexplicable touch of stubbornness.
Fang Qian'an: "..."
Ming Jingshui: "..."
They found it hard to believe. Given that only Ming Yutong and Fu Yinxiu were here before they arrived, Ming Yutong wouldn't contradict Fu Yinxiu. Thus, Fu Yinxiu could easily spin a tale.
"No, no!" Ming Silian shook her head urgently. "It wasn't me. He hit me without reason. And my sister… she said I was the one who revealed her infertility issue. I didn't do that!"
Fang Qian'an, initially furious, fell silent upon hearing Ming Silian's explanation. Her reaction suggested that Ming Silian might indeed have done something wrong.
Fang Qian'an sighed and said to Ming Yutong, "No matter what, we shouldn't be fighting here. Can't we discuss this calmly at home? It's not appropriate to have such a scene here."
Ming Yutong sighed in frustration, "Yes, I understand. Silian had been following me and created false accusations. I have proof of her slandering me to E-Action Media and the confidentiality agreement she signed. I have the agreement with me."
"I wasn't planning to settle things here. I thought it would be better to discuss everything clearly when we get home, together as a family."
