Chapter 1548 Strangle Her To Death

Ye Tian looked at Ye Youyou with eyes red from anger. Her breathing was erratic as she yelled at Ye Youyou, “How could you be so evil? Queye was already in that state? Just what threat did she pose to you that you had to harm her that way? You’re a jinx!”

Ye Tian had flung Guan Yanhong’s recent words over to Ye Youyou.

Jinx. Jinx…

That word reverberated through the ears of everyone present.

Ye Youyou held her cheek with her hand as she looked at Ye Tian. Tears pooled in her eyes before spilling over. She suddenly laughed. That laughter carried sorrow, bleakness, and an undeniable sense of despair.

Looking straight at Ye Tian, Ye Youyou raised her hand. With all her strength and ferocity, returned the slap to Ye Tian.

No one had expected that to happen. The whole place broke out in an uproar.

“Isn’t that her mother?”

“Oh my goodness, mother and daughter are slapping each other?”

Just like everyone else, Ye Tian hadn’t expected that Ye Youyou would act that way. She stared at her in disbelief, but she soon reacted and bellowed, “Do you know what you just did? I’m your mother!”

As Ye Tian was raving, she raised her hand once more toward Ye Youyou’s face. Before the slap could land, her hand was blocked by another larger hand. The slap landed steadily on a strong arm instead.

Li Jinnan flipped his hand and gave Ye Tian a push. Caught unprepared, Ye Tian staggered a few steps back.

Ye Youyou was already on the brink of a breakdown. When she saw Li Jinnan, she broke out into unrestrained tears.

She buried her head into his chest and cried out, “I did not! It wasn’t me! I don’t know what happened. You have to believe me. It wasn’t me! It had nothing to do with me!”

Ye Youyou’s words were uttered between her helpless and desolate cries.

Li Jinnan’s face tightened. He held her in his arms as he rea.s.sured her, “I believe you. Don’t cry. Don’t worry, I’m here.”

Don’t worry, I’m here.

Ye Youyou suddenly felt rea.s.sured. She raised her eyes to his, but she couldn’t control her tears, and her sobs intensified, “She asked me to open the bottle of water. At first, I didn’t dare help her. But, she couldn’t hold it properly, and the water dropped. After she drank it, she started to puke blood. I didn’t harm her! She did it to herself!”

This running monologue made no sense. Everyone around couldn’t make out what on earth she was trying to say.

Likewise, Li Jinnan only understood less than half of it, but he didn’t say anything. He held her in his arms, and said, “Don’t be afraid. The truth will prevail. I’ll ensure your innocence is proven.”

“Guan Queye is already in such a state now. There were only you and her in the room. Right now your father has sent her to the hospital, and we don’t even know if she’ll make it, yet here you are ganging up with an outsider to hit me. Ye Youyou, I never knew you were so contemptible! You’re exactly like that useless father of yours!” Ye Tian ground out angrily through clenched teeth.

Those words had already unintentionally declared Ye Youyou as the criminal!

But wasn’t this Ye Youyou’s biological mother?

Not only had she not clarified the situation, her words had tightened the noose around Ye Youyou’s neck!

Li Jinnan was shocked and furious at Ye Tian’s actions. Especially when he saw Ye Tian raising her hand against Ye Youyou, the fury had burst forth from within. He had wanted to strangle her to death on the spot, but he couldn’t.

The current circ.u.mstances were already d.a.m.ning to Ye Youyou. He couldn’t make things worse. Anything he did could be used by others against Ye Youyou.

Li Jinnan turned his head. His eyes were like shards of ice.

Ye Tian’s heart stopped. Her fury doubled over as she demanded, “How dare you look at me that way!”
