Chapter 692: Chapter 692: You are nothing like her…
The surrounding bodyguards, seeing this situation, didn’t dare to come forward hastily.
They feared that if they enraged Qin Youxuan, she might just break Ye Mingmei’s arm.
Ye Zhanxing stood aside, not uttering a word, but watched Qin Youxuan closely instead.
As if he was troubled by some issues, his gaze was slightly lost.
He didn’t even seem to notice Ye Mingmei, who was sobbing and screaming, completely losing her sophistication.
“You’re nothing like her…”
After a long silence, Ye Zhanxing murmured.
His eyes narrowed fiercely. He stepped forward, reached out, and grabbed Qin Youxuan by the shoulders, pushing her backward.
His other hand grabbed Ye Mingmei’s arm, pulling it forcefully back to himself.
He moved so fast that Qin Youxuan didn’t even have a chance to react. She fell back heavily against the wall, barely managing to steady herself.
She looked at Ye Zhanxing.
What did he just say she wasn’t like?
Just one inexplicable line of words and he had transformed completely.
That sharp movement, Qin Youxuan could even feel a hint of murder. If Ye Zhanxing had chosen to break her neck instead of pushing her away, she would not have been able to escape it.
“Dad, my hand hurts so much…..”
Ye Mingmei leaned into him, wailing in agony. To anyone unaware, it seemed as if her arm was broken.
Yao squeezed through the crowd, hurriedly walked to the front of Qin Youxuan.
He shielded Qin Youxuan behind him, “Are you all right, Miss?”
With an authoritative wave of Yao’s hand, a group of black-clad bodyguards instantly surrounded the entire restaurant.
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Only after confirming that Qin Youxuan was unharmed did Yao take a step forward, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Ye. Mr. Jie has tasked me with ensuring Miss’s safety. If our actions have impacted the business of the Ye family’s restaurant, Mr. Jie will take full responsibility for all damages.”
Show courtesy before hostility, it’s a code of conduct.
Yao’s words clearly stated his intention to protect Qin Youxuan.
No matter who was right or wrong in today’s matter, Dan Hanjie would not allow anyone to harm even a single hair on Qin Youxuan’s head.
“Are you threatening me?” Ye Zhanxing’s eyes darkened with displeasure.
Upon seeing Ye Zhanxing’s anger, Ye Mingmei cried even louder, shaking her reddened wrist in his face continually, as if afraid Ye Zhanxing would forget about it.
“Who’s right and who’s wrong – I’m sure Mr. Ye can determine that better than me. There’s no need to be so aggressive.” Yao responded stoically.
Even though he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Rui Hui had explained the situation quite clearly.
Now it primarily depended on whether Ye Zhanxing wanted to resolve the situation or escalate it.
“What if I insist on an apology from her to my daughter today?” Ye Zhanxing’s eyes narrowed, his words cold.
His gaze pierced straight through to Qin Youxuan, who was leaning against the wall.
Qin Youxuan furrowed her eyebrows, stepping out from behind Yao, her expression having returned to its composed state.
With an indifferent gaze, she looked at Ye Mingmei, who was hiding in Ye Zhanxing’s embrace, and mocked, “Do all Ye family members like to impose their arguments? As I said, If you want me to apologize to her, dream on!”
“You think that because you have Dan Hanjie’s protection, you can be condescending to others.” Ye Zhanxing stared at her defiant face and furrowed his brows.
“The one in your arms isn’t flaunting her power before me because of your status? How noble is she?”
People are always , allowing any form of wrong committed by themselves, but intolerant of the minor infractions of others.
Upon Qin Youxuan’s words, Ye Zhanxing’s brow tightened even more, “What a sharp tongue.”
He pushed Ye Mingmei aside, stepping toward Qin Youxuan.
