"I’m fine, just need to rest for a while. Sister, why do you have dark circles under your eyes?"
"Our sister-in-law had an accident last night, and I truly regret it. I was supposed to stay with her, but I caught a cold and didn’t want to infect her, so I went home to sleep. Little did I know, she went to City B with Captain Tang last night to meet our brother." Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NovєlFіre.net
Liang He and Long Tianjiao asked in unison, "What happened next?"
"Then, in the middle of the night, they really met. According to Captain Tang, when sister-in-law revealed her identity, our brother didn’t believe her, called her a liar, and sent her flying, causing her to hit her head and nearly losing the baby."
The two looked at each other, Long Tianjiao sighed, "Not recognizing us, he naturally thought sister-in-law was lying. What do we do now?"
"What else can we do, just wait and see." Long Fengxi, seeing she was alright, said, "You’re fine, that’s good; I’ll head to the company now."
Long Tianjiao said with dismay, "My family has really suffered one disaster after another recently."
Liang He with his eyes downcast, "The best thing you can do now is take care of yourself and not cause them any worry."
It took a while, but then Antonio arrived.
"Why do you also have dark circles under your eyes?"
"I didn’t sleep at all last night, just came from the police station." After asking about her condition, Antonio said, "I was busy dealing with the news last night. You had been badly slandered before, so naturally, we needed to take this opportunity to clear your name. Just because you took a bullet for Liang He, Tian Jiao, your situation has been completely reversed, those who badmouthed you are now saying they like you, and your Weibo followers reached a million overnight. Your work hasn’t even been released, but your popularity has already soared."
"Really?" Long Tianjiao showed no joy, "What did the police say?"
"That’s exactly what I wanted to tell you, the perpetrator confessed last night, said it was under someone’s orders."
Long Tianjiao rolled her eyes, "Definitely targeting me."
"The details Ye Ying hasn’t confessed to yet, the police are still interrogating. The Ye Family wants to protect someone. Since it involves the Long Family, the police don’t dare release anyone. The incident will definitely be treated fairly, especially since it’s blown up in the news. I’m guessing the Ye Family will come to you about this, hoping to quell the situation."
Antonio was right. Before he had even left, Father Ye and Ye Mu came to see Long Tianjiao with gifts.
Ye Mu was very apologetic, "Tian Jiao, this whole incident was really just a prank gone wrong, Ye Ying definitely wasn’t targeting you, and we feel terrible that you were harmed."
"A prank?" Long Tianjiao laughed scornfully, "A prank where shots are fired at people?"
"It was an idea that she and her assistant Shi Xiaotian came up with together. Ye Ying said Shi Xiaotian likes Liang He, and she wanted to play matchmaker, planning for Shi Xiaotian to take a bullet for Liang He to close the gap between them. She really wasn’t aiming for you."
"Madam Ye, you’re already scheming to take away my fiancé, and it’s not targeting me?!" Long Tianjiao was furious, "Luckily I’m fine today, but if anything serious had happened to me, our Long Family would never let your Ye Family off easily!"
"Yes, yes, you’re right, I misspoke. Tian Jiao, let’s negotiate this properly. Name your conditions, and we’ll satisfy them, just as long as you let Ye Ying off the hook. She’s too young, impulsive, and doesn’t think things through, and we’re very upset about what happened. Even if you ask me to kneel for you, I would agree. She’s not married yet, and if she goes to jail, her life will be ruined."
