Rong Qi calmly recounted her version of events. “Grandpa, Mrs. Fan and I were on our way to my room when we crossed the bridge. Shaoxian rushed over, knelt down, and bizarrely called me ‘Dad’. It was awkward, and when I tried to leave, he clung to me. In trying to free myself, I accidentally pushed him into the pond. It was all very unexpected.”
Fan Hui shot Rong Qi a look of disbelief, her plan for a more diplomatic approach dashed by Rong Qi’s startling narrative.
Madam Liu, incensed by Rong Qi’s story, stammered in rage, “This… this is outrageous!”
Her words trailed off as she struggled to compose herself.
Ye Minghang, silent until now, addressed Ye Shaoxian with a stern expression, “If you cannot behave as a member of the Ye family, perhaps it’s best you leave.”
Ye Shaoxian, seething with frustration, stood abruptly, his glare fixed on Rong Qi, his hands clenched into fists.
Ye Nanshen watched the scene unfold with a calculating gaze.
Rong Qi, seated next to Ye Nanshen, made a discreet, taunting gesture, adding fuel to the fire.
The room tensed, anticipating what might happen next.
Liang Silai watched intently, her hands clenched, barely daring to breathe.
Before Ye Shaoxian could reach Rong Qi, Old Master Ye intervened, his voice firm, “Sit down! This is a family dinner, not a battleground.”
Ye Shaoxian was radiating anger and hatred, but Rong Qi, even while sitting, could feel his menacing gaze.
Madam Liu, tears streaming down her face, implored, “Father, Shaoxian deserves justice. He was innocently feeding the fish when Rong Qi attacked him.”
Madam Liu was determined to pursue the matter.
“What do you expect me to do?” Old Master Ye asked, weighing the situation.
Madam Liu persisted, “Rong Qi must be held accountable for her actions.”
As the tension in the room mounted, the announcement of new arrivals shifted everyone’s focus.
“Master, Master Rong and Madam Su have arrived,” came a voice from the doorway.
“What?”
Everyone’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Let them in,” Old Master Ye commanded, his attention now diverted.
The matter at hand was abruptly interrupted.
Madam Liu’s frustration mounted, especially seeing the indifference on Ye Nanshen and Rong Qi’s faces.
As Ye Rong, supported by Madam Su, made his way into the room, all eyes turned to the entrance.
His frail appearance belied his determination to enter unaided, drawing everyone’s attention and momentarily pausing the ongoing conflict..
