Zhong Yating remained motionless.

A hint of impatience flashed across Huangfu Jingzhang’s face. Clearly, he was deeply disgusted by Zhong Yating’s theatrics.

The others’ expressions weren’t much better.

Even if Zhong Yating had genuinely fainted at the outset, it was implausible for her to remain unconscious after being splashed with water. The signs of her deception were glaringly evident. Was she treating everyone present as fools?

Of course, except for Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an.

Huangfu Ruiling didn’t spare a glance at the unconscious Zhong Yating, his demeanor indifferent as if this matter had no relevance to him. Indeed, in reality, it didn’t.

As for Ye Leng’an, she stared unblinkingly at the motionless Zhong Yating. After a while, she withdrew her gaze, her eyes showing a hint of surprise followed by keen interest.

Zhongyu Liuying couldn’t restrain herself any longer. She stood up and walked over to Zhong Yating, then without hesitation, raised her foot and kicked toward the unconscious Zhong Yating.

She refused to believe that Zhong Yating could continue to feign unconsciousness under these circ.u.mstances.

“Wait a moment.”

Upon seeing Zhongyu Liuying’s actions, Ye Leng’an immediately spoke up to intervene.

Although Zhongyu Liuying heard Ye Leng’an’s voice, she paid no heed. She didn’t even acknowledge it. Her foot didn’t stop, and she even applied more force.

However, to her surprise, the moment she kicked, she felt a sharp pain in her ankle. Losing her balance, she toppled to one side.

“Mother!” Seeing Zhongyu Liuying about to fall, Huangfu Ruixiang immediately got up and rushed towards her, intending to catch her before she fell.

But no matter how fast he moved, he couldn’t match Zhongyu Liuying’s falling speed.

Fortunately, Li Yiran was standing next to Zhong Yating. The moment she reacted, she hurried over and caught Zhongyu Liuying just before she fell.

Seeing this scene, the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Huangfu Ruixiang also reached Zhongyu Liuying’s side, supporting her still-shaken figure. He then asked with concern, “Mother, are you alright? Are you injured?”

As he spoke, he helped Zhongyu Liuying back to Huangfu Jingzhang’s side and sat her down.

“What happened to you?” Huangfu Jingzhang looked at Zhongyu Liuying, furrowing his brows as he asked, “Why did you suddenly almost fall?”

“I don’t know,” Zhongyu Liuying replied, looking at her ankle. “Just now, I felt something hit my ankle, then I felt a sharp pain and lost my balance. I almost fell.”

“It’s this!”

Suddenly, Li Yiran spoke up, her finger pointing to a small pearl beside Zhong Yating. Zhongyu Liuying had been attacked by this small bead just now, causing her near fall.

Instantly, everyone’s gaze s.h.i.+fted to Ye Leng’an. Clearly, she was now the prime suspect. After all, Zhongyu Liuying was only attacked when she was about to kick Zhong Yating, and the only person who had spoken up to stop her was Ye Leng’an.

Facing everyone’s scrutinizing gazes, Ye Leng’an smiled faintly. She then admitted, “Yes, I did it.”

As she spoke, she even nodded solemnly, indicating her responsibility without any hesitation.

“Ye Leng’an!” Huangfu Jingzhang reprimanded loudly, “Do you realize what you’re doing? Liuying is your future mother-in-law. Just because she didn’t listen to your advice, you resorted to violence. If we have different opinions from yours one day, are you going to kill us?”

The others looked at Ye Leng’an disapprovingly.

As for Zhongyu Liuying and Huangfu Ruixiang, their expressions towards Ye Leng’an were filled with discontent and resentment.

When seeing the crowd’s reactions, Huangfu Ruiling’s gaze turned icy. The chill emanating from him made everyone present s.h.i.+ver involuntarily.

They stared blankly at Huangfu Ruiling’s displeased expression, feeling a bit guilty.

How could they forget? Ye Leng’an was no ordinary person. She was Huangfu Ruiling’s fiancée. Were they provoking Huangfu Ruiling by speaking to Ye Leng’an in such a shameless manner?

Instantly, everyone withdrew their accusatory gazes. However, only they knew what they were truly thinking.

Ye Leng’an acted as if she hadn’t noticed anything, still smiling. “I already told her to stop just now. Unfortunately, she seemed not to understand me, so I had to take action myself.”

“You…” Huangfu Jingzhang was too angry to continue. “Look, everyone, listen to what she’s saying!”

Huangfu Jingxian’s tone softened, but he still expressed his disapproval. “Leng’an, even if Sister-in-law didn’t heed your advice, you shouldn’t resort to such means! Have you considered the consequences if she had fallen?”

Ye Leng’an raised her head and glanced around before slowly speaking, “But she didn’t listen to me! If that kick had killed two lives, what then? Who would be responsible?”

“Two lives! What…” Huangfu Jingzhang was about to say something, but as if realizing something suddenly, his voice trailed off.

Suddenly, everyone’s attention s.h.i.+fted to Zhong Yating.

Huangfu Ruixiang’s eyes widened in surprise, and his gaze instinctively fell on Zhong Yating’s abdomen.

Not only his, but everyone else’s gaze also landed on Zhong Yating’s stomach.

No one was foolish. From Ye Leng’an’s words, everyone inferred that Zhong Yating was pregnant.

Except for Li Yiran, whose eyes were filled with shock, suspicion, anxiety, and resentment.

She had planned out everything meticulously, but she had overlooked this one crucial detail. Just when she thought she had Zhong Yating cornered after today, it suddenly emerged that Zhong Yating was pregnant.

Would Huangfu Ruixiang still divorce Zhong Yating now?
