The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

Liang Pingyin frowned in pain, her eyes red with tears.

Xi Yuanchen glanced at Yao Yingxi, who was already terrified, and gently patted her back to comfort her.

Yao Yingxi stared at the blood beneath Liang Pingyin, finding it jarring.

Liu Xin pointed at Yao Yingxi: "If anything happens to Pingyin, I will definitely not let you off the hook."

The scene became even more chaotic, with some people whispering among themselves.

Someone standing at a distance, unable to see what was happening, asked in a low voice, "Did Yao Yingxi really push Liang Pingyin?"

They were somewhat skeptical, after all, Yao Yingxi didn't seem like the kind of person with a heart of stone.

The person who witnessed it nodded: "I saw it with my own eyes. At that time, Yao Yingxi's hand was still on Liang Pingyin's body when Liang Pingyin rolled down the stairs. It wasn't her who pushed her. Did Liang Pingyin deliberately fall?"

"You can't judge a book by its cover, how malicious!" he said, glancing upstairs.

All around her were voices of criticism, but Yao Yingxi seemed not to hear them; she kept staring at Liang Pingyin's position downstairs.

The ambulance arrived, and a group of people made way for Zhao Zhe to carry Liang Pingyin into the ambulance. People from the Zhao and Liang families wanted to step forward, but the doctor stopped them, saying, "One family member is enough."

The four men had to get behind the wheel.

Xi Yuanchen asked Yao Yingxi in a low voice, "Shall we go and take a look too?"

Yao Yingxi came over for the interrogation and nodded.

Once on the bus, Yao Yingxi remained silent, her heart filled with unease.

She didn't push Liang Pingyin, but hearing the accusations from others that she was the one who pushed her, she worried that Xi Yuanchen would think the same way about her.

Seeing that she was distracted after getting into the car and hadn't fastened her seatbelt, Xi Yuanchen leaned over and helped Yao Yingxi fasten her seatbelt before ruffling her hair: "It's okay, no matter what happens, I'll take care of everything."

Yao Yingxi looked up at him and asked, "Chen, do you believe that I pushed Liang Pingyin?" She didn't even call him Mr. Xi as usual, as if she felt that the title was a bit unfamiliar.

Xi Yuanchen smiled and asked instead of answering, "Was it you who pushed Liang Pingyin?"

Yao Yingxi shook her head. She carefully recalled what had just happened and felt that even if she was drunk and dizzy, it was impossible for her to push Liang Pingyin. It was clear that Liang Pingyin deliberately fell down the stairs.

She analyzed and told Xi Yuanchen, "I didn't do it. I wouldn't push her. Even if Liang Pingyin said that, those reasons wouldn't make me take action."

"She knows perfectly well that she has nothing to do with you, so how could I not know?"

Xi Yuanchen's lips curled slightly as he reached out and ruffled her hair: "I believe you. Even if no one else believes you, I will still believe you."

Yao Yingxi nodded, still feeling uneasy. She was worried that something might happen to Liang Pingyin, and that she might then try to extort money from Xi Yuanchen or herself.

As the car started, Yao Yingxi prayed that nothing would happen to Liang Pingyin, even though she didn't like Liang Pingyin.

Xi Yuanchen was worried that Yao Yingxi would have an emotional breakdown or be scared, so whenever there was no one in front of him, he would reach out and hold Yao Yingxi's cold hand tightly, trying to warm it up.

Each time, Yao Yingxi would look up at him and smile, indicating that he didn't need to worry and that he was fine.

Xi Yuanchen could easily tell that she was trying to comfort him. He could tell at a glance whether she was alright or not.

He was secretly glad that he hadn't gone to the rooftop with anyone else; otherwise, Yao Yingxi would have felt incredibly helpless and scared after this incident.

When the car arrived at the hospital, they saw Liang Pingyin being wheeled into the hospital from a distance, followed by members of the Zhao and Liang families who rushed inside.

Yao Yingxi was still in a daze when Xi Yuanchen reached out and covered her hand: "We're here. Let's go in and take a look. We'll go back after a while."

"it is good."

After getting out of the car, the two entered the hospital, asked a few questions, and then headed towards the elevator.

On the fourth floor, as soon as I got off the elevator, I saw Liu Xin and Meng Nan pacing anxiously at the entrance of the emergency room.

Zhao Zhe's suit was stained with blood, and her eyes looked much deeper. She leaned against the wall, her expression unreadable, neither worried nor unconcerned.

Liang Yuansheng stood by the window, smoking, while Zhao Guoqiang sat in a chair.

A passing nurse went up to remind him, "Excuse me, sir, smoking is not allowed here."

Liang Yuansheng nodded, threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground and stubbed it out, then picked it up and put it in the trash can.

Xi Yuanchen took Yao Yingxi's hand and walked towards the emergency room.

Upon seeing this, Liu Xin rushed over to hit Yao Yingxi, but Liang Yuansheng quickly pulled her back.

She glared fiercely at Yao Yingxi, pointing her index finger at her: "Yao Yingxi, how dare you show your face here? You hypocritical, vicious woman, you pushed my daughter and you still dare to follow me."

"Let me go! I'm going to go up there and beat that bitch to death to avenge my daughter!" Liu Xin struggled.

Liang Yuansheng frowned and scolded, "Pingyin is still in the emergency room, can't you calm down?"

Hearing this, Liu Xin became even more agitated, pointing at Yao Yingxi and saying to Liang Yuansheng, "It's all because of this bitch that Pingyin ended up in the emergency room. How can you expect me to calm down?"

Yao Yingxi spoke up: "I did not push Liang Pingyin, don't make false accusations."

She met Liu Xin's gaze with a cold expression and spoke slowly and deliberately.

Liu Xin's anger flared even more: "You didn't push her? So many people were watching, Yao Yingxi, you still want to deny it?" As she spoke, she even tried to rush forward and attack.

Xi Yuanchen pulled Yao Yingxi close, shielding her behind him.

Liu Xin glared at Xi Yuanchen: "Are you going to abandon your family for this woman? Pingyin is practically your sister. How can you protect that woman and face us like this?"

Xi Yuanchen said slowly and deliberately, “Liang Pingyin is just my sister. She is my woman. As long as I’m here, no one can lay a hand on her in front of me. There have been instances of people trying to hit her before, but I didn’t see it and I let it go.”

Liu Xin glared at Xi Yuanchen: "You heartless little bastard."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hui and Xi Zhishen, who were on their way, frowned and their expressions turned cold, while Liu Hui also frowned.

Even if Xi Yuanchen is a 'pawn' in Xi Zhishen's hands, he is still his own son. This man values ​​face the most, and Liu Xin's cursing also included him.

Liu Hui knew he was about to get angry, so she quickly tried to soothe him: "My sister is just angry. Pingyin had an accident, and she's worried. She's speaking without thinking. Don't take it to heart."

Xi Zhishen walked in that direction in silence.

When Liu Xin saw Xi Zhishen walking over with a cold face, her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down.

"Hasn't it come out yet?"

Xi Zhishen asked a question, his tone not pleasant because of Liu Xin's words earlier.

Xi Yuanchen saw him, turned around and glanced back, then coldly replied, "Not yet."

Xi Zhishen said, "Handle this matter properly, don't let anyone be wronged, those who should be punished should be punished, and those who should apologize should apologize."

As he spoke, he gave Yao Yingxi a cold glance behind Xi Yuanchen, then turned and walked back.

Liu Hui glanced at Liu Xin and muttered, "You know better than anyone what should and shouldn't be said. Even if Xi Yuanchen isn't my son, he's still Xi Zhishen's biological son."

After mentioning Liu Xin, Liu Hui quickly caught up with Xi Zhishen.
