Chapter 2816 - 2809: Ashamed of You

"Let me be honest with you, my brother came looking for you because of this! Zhan Xiche, I’ll see how you face my brother later! You dared to act, but don’t dare to face the consequences?" He Yue raised her voice, and the two of them stood face to face, staring each other down.

"Shut up!" Zhan Xiche couldn’t outtalk He Yue, and she lacked justification. Facing He Yue’s soul-piercing interrogation, she was at a loss for words.

"Zhan Xiche, just admit it! You’re a coward! You’re a clown and don’t deserve to be at the Military Medical University! It’s a disgrace for the army to have a military doctor like you!"

He Yue’s words were like daggers piercing Zhan Xiche’s heart. Enraged and humiliated, she raised her hand intending to hit He Yue.

He Yue grabbed her swinging hand with a smug smile, "You’re just like this! It’s a good thing my little brother isn’t blind!"

"He Yue! You country bumpkin from the village, you have some guts! Fine, you win! I can’t outtalk you! Yes, I did it. You know it, and I know it. Even if everyone suspects me, there’s no evidence! I tell you, I won’t admit I did it, and you can take the blame, waiting for the school to demand compensation from you! Since I could put you in this predicament, I can turn it all around; just wait—within two days, I’ll make everyone believe you framed me!" Zhan Xiche finally admitted it.

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a bang, and the bedroom door on the first floor was pushed open.

Zhang Chongmin rushed out from inside, his face full of fury, appearing right in front of Zhan Xiche.

"Dad... Dad..." Zhan Xiche was so frightened upon seeing her father suddenly appear in the living room that she stammered, "You... how are you here? When did you get here?"

Without a word, Zhang Chongmin raised his hand and slapped Zhan Xiche across the face.

A crisp slap noise!

Zhan Xiche let out a sharp scream, and she was slapped to the ground, holding her face in disbelief as she looked at her thunderously angry father, "Dad, you hit me?"

"Don’t call me Dad! I don’t have a daughter like you!" Zhang Chongmin had heard everything clearly inside the room, and no matter what, he couldn’t believe his daughter could do such a thing.

That daughter who excelled at everything since childhood and grew up amid praises could do such a thing.

She was so unfamiliar, so unfamiliar that even he, as her father, didn’t recognize her.

"Xiche! My daughter!" Wei Chunlan followed him out, and when she saw the fresh, red handprint on her daughter’s face, her heart ached, "Old Zhang, how can you be so heavy-handed? The child has never been hit with a finger since she was young, how could you strike her so hard..."

"Mom! You’re here too!" Tears welled in Zhan Xiche’s eyes, yet her expression was utterly shocked, "You... you all this..."

Suddenly, she understood, and fiery anger filled her eyes, pointing at He Yue’s nose, cursing, "It’s you! You’re playing dirty with me! You’re too despicable!"

"I’m saving you!" He Yue said calmly.

"Save me! You’re clearly trying to..."

Zhan Xiche’s words were cut off by Zhang Chongmin, "From the looks of it, you undoubtedly did this! You’ve let me down so much! You grew up in a military family and developed such thoughts, I’m ashamed of you! Don’t say anything else, this matter is your fault! Go to the school and admit your mistake!"
