Zhong Yating remained motionless.

A hint of impatience flashed across Huangfu Jingzhangs face. Clearly, he was deeply disgusted by Zhong Yatings theatrics.

The others expressions werent much better.

Even if Zhong Yating had genuinely fainted at the outset, it was implausible for her to remain unconscious after being splashed with water. The signs of her deception were glaringly evident. Was she treating everyone present as fools?

Of course, except for Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan.

Huangfu Ruiling didnt spare a glance at the unconscious Zhong Yating, his demeanor indifferent as if this matter had no relevance to him. Indeed, in reality, it didnt.

As for Ye Lengan, she stared unblinkingly at the motionless Zhong Yating. After a while, she withdrew her gaze, her eyes showing a hint of surprise followed by keen interest.

Zhongyu Liuying couldnt restrain herself any longer. She stood up and walked over to Zhong Yating, then without hesitation, raised her foot and kicked toward the unconscious Zhong Yating.

She refused to believe that Zhong Yating could continue to feign unconsciousness under these circ.u.mstances.

Wait a moment.

Upon seeing Zhongyu Liuyings actions, Ye Lengan immediately spoke up to intervene.

Although Zhongyu Liuying heard Ye Lengans voice, she paid no heed. She didnt even acknowledge it. Her foot didnt stop, and she even applied more force.

However, to her surprise, the moment she kicked, she felt a sharp pain in her ankle. Losing her balance, she toppled to one side.

Mother! Seeing Zhongyu Liuying about to fall, Huangfu Ruixiang immediately got up and rushed towards her, intending to catch her before she fell.

But no matter how fast he moved, he couldnt match Zhongyu Liuyings falling speed.

Fortunately, Li Yiran was standing next to Zhong Yating. The moment she reacted, she hurried over and caught Zhongyu Liuying just before she fell.

Seeing this scene, the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Huangfu Ruixiang also reached Zhongyu Liuyings side, supporting her still-shaken figure. He then asked with concern, Mother, are you alright? Are you injured?

As he spoke, he helped Zhongyu Liuying back to Huangfu Jingzhangs side and sat her down.

What happened to you? Huangfu Jingzhang looked at Zhongyu Liuying, furrowing his brows as he asked, Why did you suddenly almost fall?

I dont know, Zhongyu Liuying replied, looking at her ankle. Just now, I felt something hit my ankle, then I felt a sharp pain and lost my balance. I almost fell.

Its this!

Suddenly, Li Yiran spoke up, her finger pointing to a small pearl beside Zhong Yating. Zhongyu Liuying had been attacked by this small bead just now, causing her near fall.

Instantly, everyones gaze s.h.i.+fted to Ye Lengan. Clearly, she was now the prime suspect. After all, Zhongyu Liuying was only attacked when she was about to kick Zhong Yating, and the only person who had spoken up to stop her was Ye Lengan.

Facing everyones scrutinizing gazes, Ye Lengan smiled faintly. She then admitted, Yes, I did it.

As she spoke, she even nodded solemnly, indicating her responsibility without any hesitation.

Ye Lengan! Huangfu Jingzhang reprimanded loudly, Do you realize what youre doing? Liuying is your future mother-in-law. Just because she didnt listen to your advice, you resorted to violence. If we have different opinions from yours one day, are you going to kill us?

The others looked at Ye Lengan disapprovingly.

As for Zhongyu Liuying and Huangfu Ruixiang, their expressions towards Ye Lengan were filled with discontent and resentment.

When seeing the crowds reactions, Huangfu Ruilings gaze turned icy. The chill emanating from him made everyone present s.h.i.+ver involuntarily.

They stared blankly at Huangfu Ruilings displeased expression, feeling a bit guilty.

How could they forget? Ye Lengan was no ordinary person. She was Huangfu Ruilings fiance. Were they provoking Huangfu Ruiling by speaking to Ye Lengan in such a shameless manner?

Instantly, everyone withdrew their accusatory gazes. However, only they knew what they were truly thinking.

Ye Lengan acted as if she hadnt noticed anything, still smiling. I already told her to stop just now. Unfortunately, she seemed not to understand me, so I had to take action myself.

You Huangfu Jingzhang was too angry to continue. Look, everyone, listen to what shes saying!

Huangfu Jingxians tone softened, but he still expressed his disapproval. Lengan, even if Sister-in-law didnt heed your advice, you shouldnt resort to such means! Have you considered the consequences if she had fallen?

Ye Lengan raised her head and glanced around before slowly speaking, But she didnt listen to me! If that kick had killed two lives, what then? Who would be responsible?

Two lives! What Huangfu Jingzhang was about to say something, but as if realizing something suddenly, his voice trailed off.

Suddenly, everyones attention s.h.i.+fted to Zhong Yating.

Huangfu Ruixiangs eyes widened in surprise, and his gaze instinctively fell on Zhong Yatings abdomen.

Not only his, but everyone elses gaze also landed on Zhong Yatings stomach.

No one was foolish. From Ye Lengans words, everyone inferred that Zhong Yating was pregnant.

Except for Li Yiran, whose eyes were filled with shock, suspicion, anxiety, and resentment.

She had planned out everything meticulously, but she had overlooked this one crucial detail. Just when she thought she had Zhong Yating cornered after today, it suddenly emerged that Zhong Yating was pregnant.

Would Huangfu Ruixiang still divorce Zhong Yating now?
