Chapter 696 Public Humiliation
Zhou Minglan: "You don't have a penny from the Zhou family. Who do you think you are? Why do you think you can bully me? You dare to hit me. If it weren't for you..."
"Zhou Minglan, you are just a bastard that my father brought back from outside!"
Xu Yi pointed at her nose and said, "You have no blood relationship with any of us. You are a bastard. How dare you, a bastard, act so arrogantly in front of me?"
Zhou Minglan was so excited, "You are the bastard!"
Zhou Zhiyin said unhappily, "Okay, stop arguing. You are sisters, don't hurt each other like this, okay? Minglan, Mingxin..."
"The real Zhou Minglan died after she was born."
Xu Yi said calmly, "My father just wanted to bring you back home because he was afraid that she would be sad. If you don't believe me, go get a diagnosis."
After that, Xu Yi approached Zhou Minglan and said, "You are a fake. If you keep to yourself, I would not do anything to you. But you want to show off in front of me. If that's the case, I will not tolerate you."
Xu Yi spoke every word with a firm look in his eyes.
Zhou Minglan laughed, "You're lying, you're such a liar."
"You are lying!"
"Yuqian, Zhiyin, let's go."
After Xu Yi left, Zhou Minglan touched the burning half of her face that had been slapped by Xu Yi.
It hurts.
Her nightmare began when she met Xu Yi.
Since she met Xu Yi, her life began to be trampled upon, her design path became tortuous, and even her brother no longer doted on her as much as before.
What made her most exploded was that Xu Yi was Zhou Mingxin, who completely replaced her position.
"Xu Yi, go to hell, go to hell!"
Zhou Minglan screamed. Zhou Zhiyin wanted to accompany Zhou Minglan, but was pulled away by Song Yuqian.
"If you stay with a madman for too long, you will become a madman yourself."
This matter soon reached Zhou Mingchen's ears. Song Yanming said that he was going to collect evidence to confront Huo Yunhua openly, so Zhou Mingchen immediately began to prepare.
Song Yanming reminded him, "Let's put aside the grudge with Han Fei for now. Huo Yunhua knows more about the situation than we do. You know which is more important, revenge or saving Master Qi Yu."
Zhou Mingchen responded without saying anything else. If things went wrong, he might have to ask Han Fei for help. It was frustrating, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Zhou Minglan called him crying, "Brother, Mingxin humiliated me, she humiliated me in public, she beat me..."
"Minglan, I'm busy now."
"She humiliated me, and you don't care anymore? You always asked me to give in to her, and I always gave in to her. I was so humble, but she still wanted to make trouble for me!"
Zhou Mingchen had no choice but to temporarily put an end to what he was doing, said hello to Song Yanming, and went to see Zhou Minglan.
Before leaving, Song Yanming walked him to the elevator, and Zhou Mingchen said, "I feel relieved that you have protected Mingxin all these years and prevented her from suffering any grievances."
"Ah."
"Is Mingxin's personality a bit strong?"
Song Yanming was holding a cigarette in his hand, wearing a suit, and some light from the window shone on her face. "She has a good personality, is very well behaved, and is very obedient. How can she be so strong?"
Zhou Mingchen was silent, and Song Yanming continued, "Sometimes I wish she was stronger. Is she being wronged outside?"
Zhou Mingchen regretted saying those things. Of course, he also hoped that his sister would not be wronged outside, but Minglan had to be treated with kindness. She had experienced too many bad things. Now, in order to rescue her mother, she had to put aside even the grievances she had suffered in the past. This was a bit unfair to her.
When Zhou Mingchen arrived, Zhou Minglan had been crying, her face full of tear marks mixed with scars, looking horrifying.
The slap mark was visible to the naked eye, leaving a red mark on her scar that had not yet healed.
"Zhou Mingxin hit me."
Zhou Mingchen saw that the beating was quite severe, "Why did Mingxin hit you?"
"Who knows? She's a lunatic. I met her at the auction. She said she didn't like me and wanted to hit me! She said...she said that no matter how she treated me, you would help her and it would be impossible for you to stand on my side..."
Zhou Minglan cried very sadly, hugging Zhou Mingchen and crying, "Brother, I have no status in this family. I am bullied by others. I might as well let Han Fei shoot me to death and beat me into a sieve!"
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhou Mingchen patted her on the back, "Mingxin is not someone who would just do something casually, did you provoke her?"
"No, she bullied me. She still remembers the past...Brother, I might as well die. Anyway, you don't have me in your heart, you only have her in your heart. You will find another woman soon. Without you in the Zhou family to take care of me, I will be completely unattended. From the beginning to the end, I have been an orphan with no one to take care of me..."
Zhou Minglan cried, "Although Zhou Mingxin suffered a lot since childhood, she later had the Song family. Now she has everything, including you... As for me, I only have you, and now I am about to lose you..."
"No."
Zhou Mingchen frowned, "Okay, stop crying."
After coaxing Zhou Minglan for a long time and making her fall asleep, Zhou Mingchen asked a doctor to come and apply medicine to Zhou Minglan.
After returning home, Xu Yi sat in the sun room in a daze. Song Yanming bought her a small cake and saw from afar that Xu Yi looked depressed, as if something was on her mind.
Qi Yu's affairs have almost become a source of worry for Xu Yi. Even though she usually doesn't want him to worry and always pretends to be happy, when something happens, how can a person hide his emotions so deeply?
She is not him.
"Yuqian, what happened to your sister-in-law?"
Song Yuqian took a look and said, "Auction. Didn't Yang Kun die? We were all worried that Zhiyin was in a bad mood. As a result, she came to the studio to ask us to go to the auction. My sister-in-law and I couldn't not accompany her. As soon as we got there, we met Zhou Minglan and started fighting."
"What did they fight about?"
"I don't know. Even if Zhou Minglan doesn't do anything, I feel like she deserves a beating just by looking at her."
Song Yanming frowned, thinking of Zhou Mingchen's hurried departure after receiving the call and the words he said.
"Brother, don't you think Zhou Minglan deserves a beating? She's the kind of woman you want to hit just by looking at her."
Song Yanming realized later that this was what "strong" meant.
He walked to Xu Yi and put the cake down. Xu Yi lowered her head. Song Yanming lifted her chin slightly, "What's wrong with your face?"
"nothing."
"Have a fight with someone?"
"Ah."
"Did you win?"
Xu Yi took a deep breath and covered his face, "I won the fight, but I was a little injured."
"Tsk tsk, don't say when you go out that I raised you, you're embarrassing me."
Xu Yi said a little aggrievedly, "I told Zhou Minglan everything."
