Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 3708: Didn’t My Aunt Tell You? I’m a Protective Person

“I know.” Ye Wangchuan smiled coldly. “This wouldn’t have been the outcome if you had made a mistake. Didn’t my aunt tell you? I’m a protective person.”

Hua Ci couldn’t describe her feelings at this moment. It was like the world collapsing, and the humiliation caused every cell in her body to tremble.

Her hands started trembling as she tried to argue. “Did she complain to you? Did she say something…”

However, the answer she got was the busy tone. The other party had already hung up.

Hua Ci stood rooted to the ground as if she had been slapped again. Her ears buzzed and her mind went blank.

She fell back onto the sofa and bent down to cover her face, unable to calm down.

What did she do wrong?

She didn’t even have time to say anything about Qiao Nian’s actions. For example, to prevent her from applying the medicine, Qiao Nian shamelessly said she was a doctor.

She was clearly the wronged one, but no one was on her side. It was as if she had become an evil person.

Moreover, Ye Wangchuan’s seemingly casual words that the Ye family would withdraw all her financial support actually had a huge impact.

The few medical projects she was currently working on relied on the Ye family’s funds and resources. In addition, her studio burned tens of millions of yuan every year maintaining the expenses of various medical research and charitable donations… If the Ye family cut her financial assistance, all the work she was doing now would stop.

Ye Lan was indeed good to her.

However, she had only started receiving large sums of money from the Ye family after helping Ye Wangchuan.

The money Ye Lan gave her could only be considered pocket money. It wasn’t enough for her to develop her career.

After a short moment of pain and absent-mindedness, Hua Ci hurriedly contacted Ye Lan and told her the ins and outs of the matter. She endured her shame and asked Ye Lan to help her ask if this was a joke.

Ye Lan didn’t say anything on her account and went to look for Ye Wangchuan.

However, even her reputation was useless this time. Ye Wangchuan was not joking. He had already called and ordered to cut off Hua Ci’s funding.

Although Ye Lan was angry, she knew Hua Ci was hopeless this time.

It was fine if she provoked Ye Wangchuan himself, but since she provoked Qiao Nian… It was hard for her to plead for mercy.

After all, Hua Ci was the daughter her good friend had asked her to take care of. Qiao Nian saved Ye Qichen’s life and cured his leg… She was already dozens of years older and knew who was more important.

In the end, Hua Ci had crossed the line. Moreover, none of them had sensed Hua Ci’s thoughts. Hua Ci also misunderstood her position and ran to Qiao Nian to spout nonsense, even showing her admiration for Ye Wangchuan in front of Qiao Nian.

Ye Lan had no good way to defend her. She looked for Ye Wangchuan twice but did not even see him. She tacitly agreed with his treatment of Hua Ci this time.

She called Hua Ci back and spoke gently. “…There’s no room for negotiation in this matter. Don’t worry, I promised your Mom I’d take care of you. I’ll still give you the living expenses that I should give you. As for the rest, it’s something outside of life’s necessities to begin with. You’re still young and can work hard on your own.”

Hua Ci paled when she heard the words ‘it’s something outside of life’s necessities to begin with’. It revealed a fig leaf on her dignity.

Ye Lan had already said so much, even if Hua Ci wanted to say something else, she had nothing else to say and could only painfully accept reality.

**

All of this happened in just one night.

Qiao Nian didn’t know.

After Gu San returned and gave her the cephalosporins1, she took two and turned off the lights and her cell phone before going to sleep.
