Chapter 12: A Shout of Righteous Indignation

The hostess, listening to her husband, mumbled, “I saw Yang Wenying’s eldest daughter again when I went upstairs. It’s already ten o’clock, and she’s just coming back from outside. What do you think she’s doing out so late?”

The host replied, “She’s probably meeting a man, right? A young girl out this late, not going to work, it must be a date.”

The hostess continued, “Most likely. I’ve seen her come back late many times. That little face of hers, so alluring, clearly shows she’s not an honest child. Do you think she’s really working outside all these years?”

She remembered how the girl had come back to stay one night and then ran away again. At that time, both the Lin family and Yang Wenying had mobilized people to search for her. Who knew that a few days later, they said the child had been found, and she had gone to a relative’s house on the Lin family’s side. A few days later, they said the child was staying at her relative’s place and working there.

She had been gone for several years.

She had previously thought that the girl might have been attracted to wealth and looked down on their family, which was why she hadn’t come back in years. Now she suspected that Yang Wenying and the others hadn’t found her at all. Who knew where she had been all these years?

The host said, “I don’t think so. She probably ran off with a man. She’s probably not doing well at his family’s place, so she’s back now.”

The hostess agreed, “It’s possible you’re right. She’s beautiful, but her skin is rough, clearly showing she’s not doing well…”

“…”

The couple’s speculation grew more and more absurd.

Their voices were very low, but they couldn’t escape Ye Qinglan’s ears.

Because the couple next door were talking in their own home, she didn’t do anything at the time. But around eleven o’clock, the couple next door started their warm-up exercise.

Their enthusiasm was so high, so high that the Ye sisters could even hear a sentence:

“Little vixen, scream! Go ahead and scream!”

“…”

Ye Jiao blinked her eyes in confusion.

Ye Qinglan, on the other hand, was filled with anger. She covered Ye Jiao’s ears with her hands and suddenly roared in the loudest voice she could muster: “A shout of righteous indignation! When it’s time to act, act! AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!”

The final “ah” stretched out for several turns.

The entire building went silent for a few seconds, including the neighbors.

Then a roar came from downstairs: “Who’s howling at night? You’re a nuisance! Are you crazy?”

Ye Jiao looked at her sister, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

Ye Qinglan didn’t say anything. Soon, the man next door could be heard, his voice trembling with fear: “Oh no… oh no…”

“What do we do?”

“…”

【I’m completely overwhelmed. I don’t understand the rest, so I’ll just leave it be. The plot is messed up, so be it. I’m powerless. I’ve revised it countless times, but I can’t fix it anymore.】

“…”

A few minutes later, the neighbors started calling for help: “Help! Someone! Help!”

Soon, a series of running footsteps rushed towards the neighbor’s apartment: “What’s going on? Xiao Ding, what happened at your place?”

At this moment, they couldn’t care about anything else. Xiao Ding, the male neighbor, said to the people who came in, his voice choked with grievance: “We… we’re like this.”

Everyone looked closely!

Xiao Ding and his wife were in high spirits! It was only a few hours past midnight, and they were already getting up to their shenanigans? But how intense could it have been to end up like this?

It was outrageous!

Finally, Aunt Wang reacted quickly: “What are you looking at? Quickly, two of you, carry this couple to the hospital.”

As she spoke, she went forward and picked up the clothes on the floor, covering Xiao Ding and his wife.

The others also squeezed in to help.

Aunt Wang also called out: “You guys carry them along with their bedsheets and blankets. Everyone else, make way, make way!”

Then, the couple next door were carried to the hospital.

Ye Qinglan thought to herself, Aunt Wang is such a good person.

The incident next door shocked Ye Jiao. She whispered, “Sister, you, you did that on purpose, right? They went to the hospital because of you?”

“Nonsense!” Ye Qinglan rubbed her younger sister’s fluffy hair: “Sister didn’t say anything just now. I don’t know what happened outside. After we heard the embarrassing sounds from next door, we’ve been plugging our ears with cotton, okay?”

Ye Jiao covered her mouth and nodded with a smile.

“Alright, go to sleep.”

Ye Qinglan washed up and went to sleep as well.

She woke up around three or four in the morning, hearing some noise outside. Oh, the couple next door had returned from the hospital.

She had a regular sleep schedule, and around five or six, she went out for a morning run with Ye Jiao. After their workout, they bought steamed buns, tea eggs, and soy milk from a breakfast shop.

When they came back, Yang Wenying had already returned from work and was talking to Aunt Wang downstairs. They were talking about last night’s incident.

“That Xiao Ding is really hilarious. Last night, we sent the two of them to the hospital. The doctor told them to take deep breaths and exhale, but they were so nervous that they couldn’t even exhale, let alone do anything else. There was no other way, so the doctor gave them an injection. It took a long time for them to separate.”

“The doctor also kept saying that young people shouldn’t be too reckless, they should be more restrained. He said it so much that the couple’s faces were red enough to bleed.”

Yang Wenying was shocked, “How could this happen?”

Aunt Wang said in a low voice, “I’ll tell you. On the way back, Xiao Ding kept saying that he was scared, that your family’s shout scared him…”

“Aunt Wang, Mom.” Ye Qinglan called out to them, then waved the buns in her hand: “Have you two had breakfast? I bought a lot. Aunt Wang, do you want some?”

Aunt Wang looked at her smiling and felt embarrassed.

“No, no, we made breakfast at home today. You guys are having steamed buns again, aren’t you?”

Ye Qinglan said, “Yes, Jiaojiao loves steamed buns. Mom, what were you two talking about? By the way, Aunt Wang, what was all the commotion outside last night? What happened?”

Aunt Wang thought to herself, you really don’t know? Your shout last night, others might have misunderstood, but I live next door to you, I couldn’t have misunderstood.

Ye Qinglan continued, “Last night, I came back late. As soon as I entered the room, I heard the sound of a fight between fairies. Jiaojiao and I, two girls, were really embarrassed, so we hid in the room and covered our heads. We just heard the noise outside.”

Aunt Wang immediately understood. No wonder this girl shouted so loudly.

She spat, “Those two shameless people, making such a big fuss, not caring about their neighbors at all. I knew I shouldn’t have sent them to the hospital. I should have just let them be. They even have the nerve to say they were scared. They deserve to be scared to death. They have no morals.”

Yang Wenying was also unhappy: “Those two are really clueless. They knew there were two girls in my family, and they still made so much noise…”

She pushed Aunt Wang away, and from downstairs, she continued to scold all the way to the upstairs. She didn’t even go inside, just stood at the door, talking sarcastically towards apartment 403.

Originally, the couple next door wanted to come to Yang Wenying’s house to make trouble. Your family scared us like this, you have to give us an explanation! But after Yang Wenying’s scolding, the couple, who were already embarrassed, were even more embarrassed now. They were too ashamed to come out and cause trouble anymore.

For a long time, the couple walked with their heads down.
