CHAPTER 133: CHAPTER 133 DISFIGUREMENT

"I’m sorry, but that’s just my personality. I can’t be pleasant to people who don’t keep their promises."

Si Yuhuan couldn’t help but argue, "You should know I have my reasons."

"What reasons?" Jian Xi feigned ignorance.

Si Yuhuan hesitated, feeling that any explanation now might seem disingenuous.

"I can’t avoid seeing Jiang Qimeng for now. After Dr. Sernosen operates on Grandfather and he shows improvement, I will try my best..."

"How can you be so sure Dr. Sernosen will definitely operate on Grandfather?" Jian Xi retorted.

"Jiang Qimeng, she..." Thinking about her participation in the drug trial, something he didn’t want known and had repeatedly reminded himself not to mention, Si Yuhuan pressed his lips together.

It’s always Jiang Qimeng who matters in the end!

Jian Xi snorted coldly. "I suggest you head to Yueshang Restaurant. Any later, and you’ll deeply regret it."

"What do you mean?"

"Go, and you’ll find out."

「Meanwhile, at Yueshang Restaurant.」

Wan Yu burst in, blocking Jiang Qimeng and Xiang Yao, who had just been served their steaks and hadn’t started eating yet.

"Hey! Have you forgotten what you promised Dr. Sernosen?"

Wan Yu angrily swept the steak off the table.

This damn woman isn’t really planning to help Old Master Si!

Xiang Yao, incensed, snapped, "How dare you! Who do you think you are, barging in while my sister and I are eating?"

"Is this barging in? Jiang Qimeng, as long as I’m here today, you’re not having a single sip of alcohol or a single bite of meat!"

Wan Yu rolled up her sleeves.

She hadn’t expected Xiang Yao to slam the table and stand up. "Are you asking for it?!"

Without another word, Xiang Yao lunged at Wan Yu, and they began to scuffle.

Wan Yu, having navigated the outside world for so many years, was no pushover.

She quickly sent Xiang Yao, this pampered young lady, reeling with a few stinging slaps to the face. Infuriated, Xiang Yao charged at Wan Yu like a madwoman. "AAH! AAH! I’m going to kill you!"

Jiang Qimeng seized the opportunity to kick the broken porcelain shards towards Wan Yu’s feet.

Noticing the sharp, upturned porcelain shards, Xiang Yao maliciously shoved Wan Yu with all her might. "Die, bitch!"

Wan Yu, unable to dodge in time, could only twist her body, but her waist was still slashed by the sharp porcelain. She rolled a few times. Xiang Yao tried to stomp on her fingers with her high heels, but Wan Yu hastily pulled her hand away and grabbed a nearby chair.

Suddenly, there was a scream. Xiang Yao didn’t even know how it happened, but she slipped, and the chair caused her to fall, her face landing directly on that same piece of broken porcelain.

"Help me!" she shrieked, struggling to get up, a shard of porcelain embedded in her face, blood streaming down.

Jiang Qimeng was furious. "Wan Yu, you came here just to cause trouble, didn’t you?! You attacked Yaoyao and disfigured her! We’ll definitely sue you! Call the police, quickly!"

Xiang Yao, in agony, was hastily rushed to the hospital.

Wan Yu clutched her lower back, somewhat dazed. She wondered what had just happened and how Xiang Yao had ended up falling onto the broken porcelain.

Just as she was about to get up, she saw Jiang Qimeng take a large gulp of wine from her glass, splash the remainder all over herself, then stumble back a few steps and collapse to the ground.

When the restaurant staff returned and saw this scene, they were aghast.

At the same time, Si Yuhuan, who had just entered, saw Jiang Qimeng on the ground, her clothes stained with red wine. His pupils contracted, and he rushed over. "Mengmeng, are you alright?"

Jiang Qimeng threw herself into Si Yuhuan’s arms, weeping. "Yuhan, it’s all my fault for not protecting myself! I’ve let Grandfather down! This woman splashed wine on me! What... what am I going to do?"

Si Yuhuan frowned deeply, a palpable aura of intense anger radiating from him, striking fear into those nearby.

"Si Yuhuan, she’s spouting nonsense! It wasn’t me!" Wan Yu defended herself.

The next second, Jian Xi, who had just arrived, pulled her to her feet.

Seeing the bloodstain on Wan Yu’s waist, Jian Xi felt a pang of guilt. "Sorry, I let you get hurt."

She called a waiter to take Wan Yu to the hospital.

Jiang Qimeng urged frantically, "Yuhan, you can’t let her go! If she hadn’t splashed wine on me, how could I have violated the restrictions Dr. Sernosen set?"

A cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Jian Xi, you walked right into this. Don’t blame me for being ruthless.

Si Yuhuan, seething with rage, stood up and advanced on Wan Yu step by step. Wan Yu, unable to defend herself and panicking, tugged at Jian Xi’s sleeve, her voice choked with tears. "Xixi, believe me, I didn’t do this!"

Jian Xi patted her wrist. "Leave the rest to me."

"Si Yuhuan, if you’re determined to be an idiot, then direct your anger at me!" Jian Xi also flared up, her veins bulging as she roared, wishing she could strangle Jiang Qimeng, that deceitful white lotus.

It’s unclear how Dr. Sernosen was alerted, but he also rushed in hastily.

When he saw the red liquid staining Jiang Qimeng’s lips and clothes, he looked as if all strength had been drained from him. Leaning against the doorframe, he stammered, "It’s over... It’s all over! You’ve all gone too far, completely forgetting my instructions! Our agreement is hereby terminated!"

He snorted in anger and turned to leave.

Si Yuhuan got up to follow him.

Jiang Qimeng grabbed his hand. "Yuhan, Wan Yu is just settling a personal score! She knows how important Dr. Sernosen is to us. We must punish her! I’ve suffered so much, and it was so difficult to finally get Dr. Sernosen to agree to treat Grandfather! Sob... Why are they treating me like this? Grandfather is innocent!"

"What a joke. Truly disgusting," Jian Xi said icily, then turned to go to the hospital with Wan Yu, accompanied by a staff member.

"Jian Xi, you dare to shield her!"

Jiang Qimeng staggered to her feet. Surprisingly, Si Yuhuan didn’t chase after Dr. Sernosen.

"Pull up the surveillance footage," he ordered Yan Qing.

Jiang Qimeng’s face instantly turned deathly pale. "Yuhan, you... you don’t believe me?"

Si Yuhuan’s expression was grim. "Why did you come here in the first place? Couldn’t you have endured it for just three days?"

"It’s not like that, Yuhan! I didn’t intend to eat meat or drink alcohol. I remembered the dietary restrictions; how could I possibly violate them? I just came with Yaoyao. Oh, right! Yaoyao was hurt by Wan Yu! Ask her if you don’t believe me."

Yan Qing returned. "Boss, the surveillance system has been down since this morning. The repairman hasn’t finished fixing it yet, so..."

Jiang Qimeng smirked inwardly.

Good thing I was one step ahead and came prepared.

Lying in the car, Wan Yu pounded the seat in frustration. I’m such an idiot! How could I let Jiang Qimeng outsmart me like that? "I’m sorry," she said to Jian Xi. "Instead of helping, I just caused you more trouble."

Jian Xi said, "It’s alright. There’s no point in saying that now. If anyone’s to blame, it’s me for not arranging a bodyguard to accompany you. You were put at a disadvantage. Don’t worry, I’ll make Jiang Qimeng pay for this injury tenfold, even a hundredfold."

Wan Yu nodded fiercely.

"By the way, Xiang Yao... her face might be ruined."

Jian Xi’s heart skipped a beat. "What?!"

"It wasn’t me! She suddenly slipped and fell, and her face landed on those broken porcelain pieces..." Wan Yu felt terribly wronged. "As much as I despise her, I never intended to disfigure her!"
