Everyone was shocked by this warm and comforting sentence.
It was clear that An Nuan was the one who was hurt the most in this incident with Ye Jingjing, yet now she was speaking up for Ye Jingjing.
"Dad," An Nuan endured the pain on her back.
It really hurt.
Ye Lu Ping had shown no mercy towards his own daughter.
She said, "Everyone is born kind. Jingjing becoming like this is not entirely Jingjing's fault either. Is it because we didn't care enough about her, or our parenting methods were wrong, or we really didn't know what she needed? I think regarding Jingjing's matter, it shouldn't be that only Jingjing needs to reflect on herself. "
Such words left Ye Lu Ping somewhat speechless.
"Mom," An Nuan called out to Yun Yu Qing again, "I know you have devoted a lot to Jingjing, and you really love her with all your heart. But do you really know what Jingjing wants? Jingjing kept saying just now, everyone else can go out and have their own life, but only she can't? Isn't it possible that we have protected her too well, which caused her to lose a lot of the part where she should have grown independently, leading to Jingjing's mind becoming so twisted like this?"
Yun Yu Qing was also unable to refute An Nuan's words.
Whether she loved too much, or simply didn't know what her daughter needed.
At this moment, when An Nuan pointed it out, she also had to start doubting whether everything she did for her daughter was right.
"From young till now, hasn't Jingjing already suffered enough physical harm due to her health condition? To let her body suffer harm again now, will that really be useful? I think at this moment, we should be thinking more about how to help Jingjing and bring her back to a normal mental state, rather than repeatedly deepening her resentment towards us!" An Nuan spoke very sincerely.
Everyone was moved by An Nuan's words.
Even Tong Zhitong, who had always harbored immense hostility towards An Nuan, at this moment had to admire this woman's ability.
Not only did she expose that slut Ye Jingjing, she also established her own good person image, winning perfectly!
Thinking back to when she was bullied by that slut but could only swallow her anger, she felt extremely stifled inside.
She secretly gritted her teeth, trying hard not to let her emotions show.
At this moment, even Ye Jingjing did not expect that An Nuan would stand up for her.
Everyone else was just coldly watching by the sidelines.
Yet only An Nuan, whom she hated to the core, came to speak up for her.
No.
She would not accept it.
She refused to accept An Nuan's charity.
Nor did she want An Nuan to become the good person in everyone's eyes!
She was about to push An Nuan away at that moment.
But then she heard An Nuan warning her in her ear, "If you really want your dad to beat you to death, just continue to act out."
In the eyes of outsiders, An Nuan was just whispering words of comfort to Ye Jingjing.
Ye Jingjing was indeed threatened by An Nuan.
She knew very clearly that if she returned kindness with enmity now, she would definitely completely deplete all the feelings her family had towards her, and might even be beaten to death by her dad next!
She gritted her teeth.
She didn't expect to be oppressed by An Nuan to such an extent.
Knowing full well that An Nuan was not really helping her, but only wanted her to be more popular in the family, to win more favor from her parents, and even obtain Ye Jinghuai's love, she knew all of An Nuan's motives clearly, yet there was nothing she could do to stop it.
She hated An Nuan immensely.
Yet at that moment she could do nothing.
"Jingjing, hurry and apologize to your parents." An Nuan had a gentle expression while facing Ye Jingjing.
Indeed.
All the benefits were taken by An Nuan.
Now she was the sinister, scheming and twisted one, while An Nuan was the virtuous, benevolent and righteous one.
From now on, An Nuan would probably be surrounded with a halo in this family.
She could even imagine how much better her parents would treat An Nuan in the future!
Ye Jingjing felt extremely stifled.
Yet under An Nuan's deliberate coercion, she could only pitifully say, "I'm sorry, Dad, Mom, it's Jingjing who was wrong. I have disappointed you."
Ye Lu Ping's anger subsided a bit by now.
Also, after hearing An Nuan's words, he gained some realization.
He calmed down a lot, and said to Ye Jingjing, "What's the use of apologizing to me? You hurt An Nuan so badly this time, hurry and apologize to An Nuan!"
Ye Jingjing gritted her teeth.
She turned to look at An Nuan.
Looking at An Nuan, who was clearly gloating.
Even though in everyone else's eyes, she had a gentle and kind expression.
She said, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I won't do this again in the future. For brother San... I won't like him anymore either."
"It's alright," An Nuan appeared very magnanimous, "I know you only liked Ye Jinghuai because you had limited exposure to other people. When you get to interact with more boys in the future, you won't be like this anymore."
Ye Jingjing had no choice but to pretend to be remorseful and nod.
The moment she nodded.
Her body suddenly went soft.
She collapsed right down.
An Nuan quickly grabbed Ye Jingjing.
At this moment, even Yun Yu Qing could no longer hold back her emotions. No matter what, Ye Jingjing was still her daughter. No matter how angry or disappointed, she would still feel distressed.
"Jingjing..." Yun Yu Qing looked at her worriedly.
"Mom, can I rest for a while?" Ye Jingjing was once again emitting that extremely weak and pitiful vibe.
"Quick, come help the young miss up the stairs."
"Yes."
A few servants immediately went over and helped Yun Yu Qing support Ye Jingjing upstairs.
Once Ye Jingjing left, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to ease up a lot.
"An Nuan, you should also go back to your room to treat the wounds on your back." Lu Jiaru said with concern.
At this moment, the others seemed to have just remembered that An Nuan was whipped earlier.
Ye Lu Ping also felt remorseful, and quickly said, "An Nuan, dad hit you too hard just now. Go back to your room and let Jinghuai treat you, or go to the hospital if it's serious... "
"It's fine dad, still bearable, not very painful." An Nuan forced a smile, seeming to be reassuring him.
This made Ye Lu Ping feel even more apologetic.
"Before going back to treat my wounds, I'd like to talk about Qin Qin's matter." An Nuan said directly.
The others looked at An Nuan, not understanding.
"No matter what happens to Jingjing eventually, Qin Qin did indeed do something unacceptable to Jingjing this time. I'm not saying Jingjing will definitely punish Qin Qin or anything, but Qin Qin herself probably wouldn't dare to face Jingjing either. So I hope for Qin Qin to leave the Ye family."
Ye Lu Ping nodded in agreement, "I will give Qin Qin a sum of money for her to leave the Ye family."
"Qin Qin has been a servant in the Ye family since young, and is not skilled in much else. I also understand the situation in her family, it would be difficult for them to maintain their livelihood without her income. So I'd like to bring Qin Qin to work in my An family." An Nuan laid out her arrangement.
"That would be best." Ye Lu Ping readily agreed.
He also admired An Nuan's thoughtfulness in handling matters.
