Huo Yi stepped in front of Ye Ranran, "Mom, stop threatening Ranran. Even she can’t save Xu Zi."
However, Huo’s mother didn’t believe him and stubbornly spoke up, "Ranran."
Her tone carried a hint of annoyance veiled as embarrassment. Ye Ranran understood that if she didn’t do as she was told, she wouldn’t be able to visit the Jun family today.
Even before coming over here, Ye Ranran had anticipated this situation from the words Huo’s mother had specially told her.
She didn’t reveal too many expressions on her face.
She walked past Huo Yi towards Xu Zi.
"Ranran, don’t go." Huo Yi blocked Ye Ranran’s way again.
He didn’t understand why she had to torment herself. If she just said a single word, he would immediately send Xu Zi to her death.
Why didn’t she know how to back down?
Was it that hard to admit being wronged?
Ye Ranran acted as if she hadn’t heard him, trying to walk around him to avoid him.
Huo Yi grabbed her arm, shouting in slight anger, "I told you not to go, didn’t you hear? Or are you so saintly that you’re even willing to save those who harm you?"
"Exactly, I’m just that saintly. Can you let go of me now?"
"No, I said you can’t go, and you can’t." Huo Yi dragged Ye Ranran outside.
He couldn’t stand his mother cornering Ye Ranran. He couldn’t stand her being wronged, let alone her enduring in silence.
Ye Ranran was forced to follow him outside.
Huo’s mother wanted to stop them, but she was also worried about Xu Zi and the child in her belly.
After a moment of hesitation and struggle, she finally decided to send Xu Zi to the hospital.
"Can’t you refuse people?" Huo Yi roared when they were out of the room.
"Thank you." Ye Ranran suddenly broke the silence.
He had fulfilled his mother’s wish by letting Xu Zi off the hook, yet he didn’t put her in a tough situation.
Huo Yi was slightly mad, seeing Ye Ranran’s unmoved attitude left him helpless, "Forget it, don’t talk about this. Are you going to the Jun family later?"
The snow that had stopped for a while started falling again, and the road was covered with a thick layer of snow. Clearly, it was not good weather to go out.
"Yes." Ye Ranran nodded.
"Can’t it wait for a few more days?" Even if it was urgent, wasn’t it just a matter of a few days?
"It’s not my decision, maybe now the timing is better."
Seeing that he wouldn’t get any answers from Ye Ranran, Huo Yi gave up, "Have you had breakfast?"
"Just woke up, it’s early in the morning, and you’re causing a bloody mess. Aren’t you afraid of bad luck?"
Hearing Ye Ranran’s blaming words, Huo Yi was a little amused, "I didn’t know you were so superstitious, how come I didn’t notice before?"
"I’m telling the truth. Wouldn’t it be better if you handled her after I left? Why did she have to witness it? Is this deliberate?"
"Exactly, I did it on purpose." Huo Yi sounded exceptionally serious, "Because I wanted you to see her end yourself."
Xu Zi had once made her suffer so much, and now she was finally reaping what she sowed. Was she happy?
"Actually, you didn’t have to do this, because I won’t appreciate you for it." Ye Ranran’s expression didn’t show much of any feeling, which meant she was telling the truth.
"I’m not expecting your gratitude." As long as Xu Zi existed, she would never have a peaceful day.
Rather than letting her do it herself, he would destroy the trouble for her.
The expression in Huo Yi’s eyes made everything clear, but Ye Ranran seemed oblivious.
"I’m hungry. I’m going to have breakfast."
Just as she took a few steps, Huo Yi stood in front of Ye Ranran again.
