Chapter 087: Can You Say She Didn't Die Because of You?
"You don't know either?"
He Ying sucked in a sharp breath.
She tugged at the corners of her mouth, forcing a strained smile.
Trying to suppress her resentment.
But the resentment swelled, growing larger than any ghost!
He Ying's eyes reddened, and her voice suddenly grew much louder.
"Hey, aren't you supposed to be so capable?"
"Ye Fuli, haven't you always been so high and mighty, knowing everything, like some kind of god?"
"You can predict which stocks will rise or fall a month from now, but you couldn't foresee today's accident?"
Her words grew more heated.
Reaching a boiling point, she crouched down, grabbed Ye Fuli by the collar, her knuckles turning white as she screamed at the top of her lungs:
"Answer me! Answer me! Ye Fuli, aren't you so powerful? Say something!"
Ye Fuli's eyes flickered slightly as she stared coldly at He Ying.
The next second, she grabbed He Ying by the collar and threw her to the ground.
He Ying tried to get up and hit her back, only to be met with a sharp slap across the face.
Emotionally shattered, He Ying froze for several seconds before bursting into tears.
Ye Fuli watched her expressionlessly.
A long silence followed.
Ye Fuli finally spoke: "If she can't survive, it's her fate. If she dies, she dies."
"What… did you say?"
He Ying, her cheeks stinging, stared wide-eyed at the person before her, utterly incredulous.
"Hey, Ye Fuli! That's the person you risked your life to bring back! What… what are you saying?"
Ye Fuli tugged at the corner of her mouth, her voice hoarse as she continued, "Life and death are predestined, fortune lies in the heavens. Perhaps her fate truly was ill-fated, destined to die young no matter what…"
Smack—
This time, a slap mark appeared on Ye Fuli's face.
Whether in her past life or this one, He Ying had never dared treat Ye Fuli this way. But the He Ying of now was no longer that greedy, treasure-loving, cowardly young miss—she was merely a pitiful soul on the brink of emotional collapse.
"Ye Fuli!!!"
Ye Fuli looked down at her, raised her hand high, and returned the slap without hesitation.
The two quickly began fighting, rolling around in the dust.
Only when both faces were swollen and hair was disheveled did the struggle finally end.
He Ying wailed loudly.
"She saved my life! If not for her, I'd be dead, you know? She's so tiny and frail, yet she pulled me out of that car with such strength and courage—do you have any idea?!"
"I haven't repaid her yet—I haven't taken her on a trip around the world, bought her a house full of beautiful dresses, or given her the biggest diamond… Waaah…"
Hearing this, Ye Fuli snorted, "No wonder."
She'd been puzzled why He Ying, who should have vanished this summer, was still alive and well in the city.
She'd thought her rebirth had altered some events in this world.
Now she realized it was all thanks to Ye Zhen.
But then again, in her previous life, Ye Fuli hadn't been deeply connected to anyone.
If someone vanished or died, as long as it didn't affect her interests, it was something she could brush off with a passing mention.
Without He Ying, she still had other partners; it wouldn't affect her ability to make money at all.
He Ying knew she was insignificant to Ye Fuli, so she had always served her cautiously, never daring to offend.
But now…
He Ying realized she had been wrong.
Partnering with someone like Ye Fuli was a mistake!
Nothing but cold, selfish words came out of that mouth!
"I thought Ye Zhen was at least someone special to you. But now it seems you only love yourself. You have no heart at all."
At this point, He Ying wiped the corner of her eye and abruptly stood up.
"Ye Fuli, our partnership ends here."
Ye Fuli smiled faintly. "The way you put it, it sounds like I killed Ye Zhen?"
"You didn't kill her, but can you say she didn't die because of you?"
This statement caused a flicker of emotion to cross Ye Fuli's face, which had been masking her composure.
He Ying continued, "She kept telling you she wanted to leave the Ye family, to go out into the world, to see places far away. Did you listen? You were only concerned with your own happiness and dragged her back by force!"
Ye Fuli's face darkened. "That's between her and me. Who are you to meddle?"
Leave the Ye family? Go out into the world?
She had already let Ye Zhen wander far and have her fill of fun!
But in her view, a person's life should encompass more than just eating, drinking, and having fun. There were more important matters, like the most basic one: making a living.
In her previous life, Ye Zhen had managed to leave the Ye family smoothly, only to die beneath a bridge, ending her young life in misery.
This lifetime, barring any mishaps, she could live in comfort and security, comfortably occupying her position as a wealthy young lady until her death.
And this unexpected turn…
This unexpected turn was not what Ye Fuli desired.
If she could, she would gladly have died in Ye Zhen's place…
After all, she never truly desired this life of hers.
Ye Fuli's mind raced with thoughts, but the words she'd nearly spoken were swallowed back.
These words couldn't be shared with anyone.
She wasn't one to use words to seek sympathy.
"Yes! What happened between you and her is none of my business. So I've said it before: our partnership ends here. I won't say another word to you."
He Ying turned and walked away without hesitation.
She was going to the hospital to see the person who saved her life. As long as it meant keeping Ye Zhen alive, she was willing to do anything.
……
…
The hospital was crowded with people waiting for news.
Miss He Ying rushed over but couldn't even get to Ye Zhen's floor, forced to sit idly in the waiting area.
Before dawn, Ye Zhen was moved from the emergency room to the intensive care unit.
"The situation is not looking good. The burns are too severe, and all her vital signs are poor…"
The attending physician sighed in frustration.
Facing these influential figures, he could only speak with utmost tact and caution.
"Her face… well, it might never fully recover. Of course, you could seek treatment abroad—perhaps they have options there! There's still hope, right? Modern medicine is quite advanced…"
Upon hearing this news, Ye Zhen's parents collapsed to the floor.
Before they could recover from this shock, a second blow struck.
The attending physician produced a form and placed it before the Ye parents.
He gave Ye Dad a solemn look and asked cautiously, "Your daughter has type O blood. Were you aware of that?"
Ye's father froze. "She's type O?"
"Yes, type O."
Mrs. Ye was confused. "What's wrong with that blood type?"
A moment of silence passed.
Ye Dad closed his eyes briefly, his voice trembling slightly.
"I'm AB type. We can't have an O-type child."
"Ye! What do you mean by that? Are you accusing me of infidelity?!"
Mrs. Ye sprang to her feet, glaring furiously at her husband.
After the outburst, she fell silent, trembling as she sank back into her seat.
She wasn't sure if the people waiting outside had heard their voices, but her face still bore a mix of anger and hurt.
"Could the blood type report be wrong?"
"No, ma'am." The attending physician looked equally uncomfortable. "We're always very careful with these matters. We've already had it verified by another hospital."
Ye Dad had just undergone a physical examination here a few days ago.
He knew his blood type well.
Of course, he also knew his wife's character well. She had her flaws, but her loyalty to the family was beyond question.
Given this, only one possibility remained…
"Ye Zhen… probably… really isn't our daughter."
