Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 69: Unexpected Gathering Part 2

    

woke up one after another, each feeling refreshed. They quickly washed up and went to meet with Lianyi and the others.After the seven people gathered, they didn't say much. They all ate breakfast and...Zhao Xianrou's eyes streamed with tears, her entire body shrinking into a corner of the bed, burying her head between her knees, refusing to let anyone near. She waited until Zhou Mengyu called out "Xianrou" before she seemed to react. Following the familiar voice, she lifted her head, and her empty eyes finally focused.

"Mom!!!"

Only then did she find an outlet for her emotions, crying loudly and burying herself in Zhou Mengyu's arms.

Zhou Mengyu was almost knocked over, but she steadied herself and held onto Zhao Xianrou tightly. As Zhao Xianrou moved, the sheet on Zhou Mengyu's body slipped down. Zhou Mengyu saw the bruises of blue and red on her body, as well as the faint metallic smell in the room. She understood everything now.

Meanwhile, in another room, Yang Ziyixiao, wearing crumpled clothes, was huddled on the sofa, desperately trying to recall everything that had happened. Yang Jun and his wife Pu Li had also arrived at the hotel room.

Pu Li rushed into the room first, sizing up her son from head to toe. Relieved to find he was unharmed, she let out a sigh of relief. Yang Jun, on the other hand, went straight to inquire about what had happened, seeking to understand the specifics.

Soothed by the comfort, Zhao Xianrou, with red-rimmed eyes, addressed Zhou Mengyu:

“Mom, I was forced. When Yang Ziyix came in, he pounced on me. I tried to resist, but I wasn't strong enough.”

Saying that, she started to cry again.

At this point, Zhao Fenglin, who had returned after learning the situation, spoke directly:

"Miaomiao, what do you want to do Daddy supports you!"

"I want to call the police!"

Zhao Xiaorou screamed hysterically.

This sentence was just heard by Yang Jun and his wife who had just come in. Yang Jun's face remained unchanged, but Pu Li was not happy. She stepped forward and said:

"Mr. Zhao, the matter is not yet clear. Don't jump to conclusions so early. Who knows what happened Perhaps some people are unwilling to accept reality and want to take a gamble!"

It's practically stated that she's deliberately seducing their son for her own benefit, wanting to marry into the Yang family through this means.

Zhao Fenglin's expression didn't change much, he just looked at Yang Jun, and the latter immediately shouted:

"Purely, don't talk nonsense, see how Flexible is first."

"I, Zhao Xianrou, swear that if I ever initiate any advances towards Yang Ziyix, may I be struck by a car and meet an untimely end!"

Zhao Xianrou's eyes, bloodshot and filled with fury, stared straight at Pu Li. Venomous curses poured from her lips.

A hush fell over the room. Puli, too, was visibly flustered and took a step back.

"Then let's examine the injuries first! Whether it was voluntary or not, that will be evident. I, Zhao Fenglin, am willing to sacrifice my reputation for this. I will fight for justice for my daughter. Even though she is not my biological child, she has been raised by me since she was young."

Zhao Feng's lips curled into a slight smirk, revealing a hint of sarcasm. Though Pu Li's words were harsh, they also reflected Yang Jun's thoughts; otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed his wife to finish her statement.

"Zhao, little brother, look at this mess. Reporting the police before things are clear isn't good for either of our families. We're all respectable people, and besides, Lin Rou is a girl. What will happen to her in the future"

Both are good children and they both got into their dream universities. Don't let this accident ruin the futures of both children."

Yang Jun, with his cunning and sharp insight, hit the nail on the head by addressing what all parents care about. He was very persuasive.

“Feng Lin, Yang Gege is right, before things are clear, we can’t say who is wrong. Let’s wait until it’s clear before pursuing responsibility.”

Zhou Mengyu spoke softly.

He turned back and said to Zhao Xianrou:

"Softly, Mom and Dad will definitely fight for you, but we also need to figure out what happened. Let's go to the hospital first, and leave the rest to your father, okay"

Zhou Mengyu hugged her slender waist and said.

But at this time, her tenderness seemed to have been drained of all her strength, leaning against Zhou Mengyu's chest only with the force of tears. After a long while, she finally nodded softly.

After a night of turmoil, Zhao Jianrou, after having her wounds examined, moved into a single room. Her expression was still somewhat dazed. She hadn't spoken a word since arriving at the hospital.

Even when faced with Zhou Mengyu's questions, he only nodded or shook his head, just staring blankly at the ceiling. In the end, he was given an injection of sedative before falling asleep.

Zhao Fenglin and Zhou Mengyu also waited for the injury report. Because the situation was special, the doctor saw them individually.

"Zhao Xianrou has multiple soft tissue injuries on her body, which were caused while struggling. According to our examination, she was forced."

As the doctor spoke, Zhao Fenglin and Zhou Mengyu also finished reading the report in their hands. Zhou Mengyu then asked expressionlessly:

"According to the report you provided, can I sue the other party"

Theoretically, there's no problem, but...

The doctor pushed his frameless glasses up the bridge of his nose, his words unspoken.

"Doctor Zhao, just tell me straight, are you my blood brother I don't trust anyone else, not even myself. But I trust you!"

"I heard that the Yang family also arranged for Yang Ziyì to be checked, and GHB was found in his blood, along with residues of CQ drug."

"You mean he wasn't willing"

Zhao Fenglin frowned and asked.

"Yes, so they will definitely make a fuss about this and hope you are prepared."

Dr. Zhao stopped there, and immediately the couple Zhao Fenglin left the doctor's office. After visiting Zhao Xianrou who was still asleep, the two returned to the Zhao family villa.

"Fenglin, what on earth is going on"

Zhou Mengyu, hearing Dr. Zhao's words, knew there was something fishy going on.

"Maybe they were both victims, or perhaps it was just a coincidence that brought them together. Both Lao Yang and I have assigned people to investigate everyone in the vicinity from yesterday afternoon until midnight. We should have some news soon."

Zhao Fenglin sat on the sofa and said in a low voice.

Then let's just wait and see, how could we possibly let Jian Rou be at a disadvantage!

Zhou Mengyu finished speaking and then sighed:

"Fortunately, ripples didn't come to Shanghai. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened."

At this moment, she felt a sense of relief at her daughter's choice.

"Dream Rain, don't worry, our daughter is very smart and clear-headed. Perhaps she anticipated encountering a similar situation, which is why she chose not to come to Magic City."

Wu Lianyi, who had been constantly mentioned, was packing her bags at this moment. After a year of hard work, she had successfully passed the entrance exam to the Capital University and was preparing to report early, taking the opportunity to travel around and bringing along Wu Jinyi, her "big tail."

Wu Junyi had been tormented by ripples for a whole year. In the provincial math competition, he achieved eighth place, one spot short of qualifying for the national competition. However, even so, he was a seeded player and successfully entered the local key high school. The whole Wu family was very happy about this.business to my children."Ripple shrugged, indicating that she only concerned herself with her own affairs and had no interest in others' matters.That evening, the four of them met in secret, avoiding...
