Chapter 40: Facing Alone

  "You rest for a while, I'll go take a shower, it's killing me from the heat." Tian Xin thought that after taking a shower, she also had to change into her formal attire.

  While she was taking a bath, Ye Anning called Pei Jun to remind him not to forget today's banquet, but the phone rang for a long time without anyone answering, until a timid voice said, "Hello, this is Dr. Pei's mobile phone."

  Ye Anning was taken aback, "Uh... where's Pei Jun?"

  "Oh, Dr. Pei just entered the operating room, and a traffic accident patient was just sent in, with pretty severe injuries."

  "How long will this surgery take?"

  "I don't know, at least six or seven hours."

  Ye Anning's heart suddenly felt cold, and the engagement banquet had ended six or seven hours ago.

  "Excuse me, is there something important I can help you with? I can go in and inform him."

  "Whatever."

  He was saving lives, and she shouldn't disturb him. It's as if heaven didn't give her the chance. They had clearly agreed that he would take half a day off to accompany her to the engagement party today, but then this surgery came up. It seems heaven doesn't want to see her turn things around either. She is destined to be ridiculed by Ye Mingzhu and crushed to death.

  She put down her crutches and said she was Ye Anning's crutch. As soon as they entered the venue, this stunning duo instantly attracted everyone's attention, of course mainly focused on Ye Anning. Tian Xinnian dressed very low-key today, mainly to set off Ye Anning's beauty.

  Ye Anning, although the second miss of the Ye family, is normally low-key and never participates in any high-society activities. Now that she's come out, everyone is guessing which family's miss this is, as no one has ever seen her before.

  In the banquet hall, due to Ye Anning's appearance, a wave of discussion was triggered. Shen Yicheng also naturally saw her, and her beauty had always been hidden under her casual attire. He had never seen her so beautiful before, beautiful enough to attract everyone's attention, beautiful enough to suffocate people.

  Ye Mingzhu gazed at Shen Yicheng, who was staring intently at Ye Anning. A surge of jealousy rose in her heart, and a venomous glare fell on Ye Anning, as if she wanted to tear the gifts off her body!

  Ye Anning is clearly provoking, she's the protagonist of today!

  Under Tian Xinnian's support, Ye Anning walked to Shen Yicheng and Ye Mingzhu's face with a smile at the corner of her mouth, saying "Sister, brother-in-law, I wish you a hundred years of harmony and eternal love."

  The most polite blessing, yet there is nothing wrong with it.

  Ye Mingzhu was used to wearing a mask of disguise in front of outsiders, even if she hated it in her heart and wanted to tear it off. The smile on her face remained gentle, "Anning looks really beautiful today, where is your boyfriend? Why didn't he come with you? Haven't you two broken up again?"

  They broke up again, Ye Mingzhu was always framing her every minute, as if she had been promiscuous, with one boyfriend after another.

  "What a boyfriend?" Ye Qingyun asked coldly from the side, he had never seen his second daughter look so beautiful before, and was glad that the money he had spent on her over the years had not been wasted.

  "By the way, Dad, you don't know yet, do you? Anning has a new boyfriend. She met him when she was hospitalized before. He's an intern doctor."

  As expected, a flash of displeasure flickered in Ye Qingyun's eyes. "Didn't I tell you not to associate with those shady characters!"

  "He's not a good-for-nothing person, he has a legitimate profession!" Ye Anning retorted in a cold voice, without knowing why she didn't like others talking about him that way.

  Ye Mingzhu took a look at Ye Qingyun's angry face and hastily added fuel to the fire, "Dad, An Ning is serious this time. You didn't see how intimate they were in the hospital room."
