The engagement was with the younger brother, but I've fallen for the older brother.

Si Ningyou tried to fight back, but her nails had just scratched Si Yimian's arm when her arm was twisted and she was pressed against the pool wall.

Si Yimian stepped off the pool wall and kicked her knee into Si Ningyou's stomach.

"Hmm!"

Si Ningyou arched like a shrimp, sinking and then floating back up.

"Help... Ugh!"

Si Ningyou splashed around and swallowed several mouthfuls of the pool water that tasted like disinfectant.

Save your breath.

Si Yimian pressed Si Ningyou's head down, then lifted it up again.

Seeing that she couldn't win, Qin Enyu crawled towards the edge of the pool.

Si Yimian grabbed her ankles and dragged her back, one in each hand, and forced her head into the water.

"Where are you going?"

"Weren't you quite brave when you threw the wine at me?"

Si Ningyou and Qin Enyu together were like two drowning dogs in her hands.

Splashing, choking on water, screaming.

They were completely powerless to fight back.

The original owner of this body had done farm work since childhood and possessed astonishing strength.

In addition, Si Yimian had practiced Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) in the original world, so beating two defenseless girls was as easy as beating a BabyBus.

Just then, a series of noisy footsteps came from afar.

Huo Siyue's voice pierced through the night.

"Aunt Ruan! Over here! They're sponging here!"

Si Yimian's ears twitched.

He immediately released his strength, and his whole body went limp as he slid into the water.

She choked on water twice, her hair was stuck to her face, and she looked extremely disheveled.

She even pinched her thigh hard from an angle where no one could see her.

Her eyes instantly reddened and filled with physiological tears.

Qin Enyu froze for a second, then reacted, grabbed Si Yimian's shoulder, and pressed her against the pool wall.

"Ning You! Hit her! She's exhausted!"

Si Ningyou had just climbed out of the water, her face covered in water, looking as disheveled as a water ghost.

Seeing Si Yimian being restrained by Qin Enyu, she became emboldened and acted impulsively.

Si Ningyou rolled up her sleeves and swung her arm around.

She brought all her strength to that slap, sending it crashing down with the force of the wind.

Si Yimian tilted her head back, neither dodging nor flinching, and even turned slightly to the side, revealing her most vulnerable angle to her.

Just as she was less than ten centimeters from Si Yimian's cheek, a group of people turned out from the brightly lit end of the corridor.

Ruan Qiutang walked at the front, with Si Congshan beside her.

Huo Siyue followed behind, and behind her was a huge group of reporters, their long lenses and microphones already raised.

Si Ningyou's mind went blank, and her hand froze in mid-air.

Hold.

I've fallen for their trap again.

At that moment, her mind made the fastest decision of her life.

They couldn't continue.

Once that slap lands, she's finished.

But the slap had already been swung in all directions and couldn't be pulled back.

If you don't accept it, you'll be beaten and die.

Taking it back would make you look guilty, and it would also lead to your demise.

In those fractions of a second, she flipped her wrist, and the slap landed squarely on Qin Enyu's face.

Snapped.

The sound was crisp and clear, even louder than when Si Yimian hit it earlier.

Qin Enyu was stunned by the blow, covering her face with her eyes wide open like saucers.

"Si Ningyou, you..."

"Enyu, I never thought you were this kind of person!"

Si Ningyou's eyes were red, and her voice trembled.

"Mianmian is my sister. You bullied her in front of me. What do you take me for?"

"I know you hate Mianmian, but you can't just throw red wine at her, smash her bracelet, and then beat her in the pool!"

"If you keep this up, we can't even be friends anymore!"

I'm sorry, best friend.

Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for this one!

After all, you can find another best friend, but there's only one place in the Si family.

Qin Enyu stood there, covering her face, her mind completely blank.

What's going on?

She looked at Si Ningyou, then at the pool full of water, and then at the group of reporters frantically pressing their shutters, and suddenly realized what was going on.

When the waiter rushed over, the scene was already in complete chaos.

Three women were soaking in the pool, their dresses clinging to their bodies, their hair smeared all over their faces.

The waiters jumped into the water in a flurry and scooped the three soaking wet chickens out one by one.

Si Yimian was soaked to the bone and her steps were unsteady.

She hunched her shoulders, looking so pitiful it made one's heart clench.

Ruan Qiutang was the first to rush up and pull her into his arms.

"Mianmian! What happened to you? Are you hurt?"

Si Yimian shook her head, her eyes red and her lips pale.

She shrugged and wrapped herself in the towel the waiter handed her.

Si Congshan stood aside with a sullen face.

"Can anyone tell me what happened?"

Si Ningyou climbed out of the water and took the towel handed to her by the waiter to wrap herself in.

We absolutely cannot let Si Yimian say a single word first.

Whoever speaks first holds the narrative power.

Si Ningyou immediately spoke first.

"Dad, it's Enyu."

Qin Enyu is a ready-made target; why not use her?

"She was jealous of Mianmian's photos, so when Mianmian came to get some fresh air alone, she chased after her and splashed red wine on her."

"I heard the noise and rushed over, and she was already slapping Mianmian."

"I couldn't hold her back..."

Qin Enyu had just climbed up from the edge of the pool when she heard these words and almost lost her balance.

"Si Ningyou, what did you say?!"

She covered her face, which was so swollen that her speech was slurred.

"It was clearly Si Yimian who started it! She slapped me several times! And you were there too!"

"Enyu, don't make false accusations."

Si Ningyou's tears fell, and her voice choked with sobs.

"You beat Mianmian up like this, and you still want to frame her?"

"Look at her, does she look like someone who would hit someone?"

All eyes were on Si Yimian.

The poor little thing, soaking wet, huddled in Ruan Qiutang's arms, shivering.

In contrast, Qin Enyu, though her face was swollen, exuded a fierce aura, like a mad dog that might pounce at any moment.

It's obvious who to trust.

Reporters were snapping photos non-stop, their flashes illuminating the entire swimming pool.

Qin Enyu panicked and took a step forward.

"you……"

Si Ningyou shrank back, as if she was frightened.

Ruan Qiutang stepped forward, blocking Si Ningyou's path, and looked at Qin Enyu with a cold gaze.

"Ms. Qin, I will have my lawyer discuss tonight's matter with you."

Qin Enyu's mind went blank.

lawyer?

What are we talking about?

She was the one who got hit!

She pointed to her face, which was swollen like a pig's head: "Aunt Ruan, look at my face!"

"It was Si Yimian! She started it! She's trained! She's incredibly strong!"

"She beat both of us by herself! She forced our heads underwater!"

"Ning You got hit by her too! Ning You, why don't you say something!"

Si Ningyou suddenly looked up, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Enyu, please stop talking."

"I consider you a friend, and I don't want to see you make the same mistake again."

Ruan Qiutang's tone grew even colder: "Miss Qin, you need evidence to support your claims."

At this moment, reporters swarmed forward, their flashes going off everywhere.

"Miss Qin! Why did you attack Miss Si?"

"You previously accused Ms. Si of bullying; is this retaliation?"

Qin Enyu stared blankly at the cameras filling the room.

She then realized that she had suddenly remembered what Si Yimian had just said.

There are no security cameras here; the truth is entirely based on her own words.

Right now, all they talk about is their mouths.

Not a single one of them spoke up for her.

It's over, it's over.

He has ten million female fans on Weibo.

After tonight, there may only be five million left.

No, maybe we can't even keep three million.

"No, I'm truly impressed."

"She really did hit me first..."

She tried to explain, but to no avail.

"Miss Qin, the slap mark on your face was from Miss Si, so why are you saying that Miss Si started it?"

The reporter's questions were like knives.

Qin Enyu looked at Si Ningyou.

Si Ningyou avoided eye contact and didn't utter a single word in defense of her.

She suddenly wanted to laugh.

She treated Si Ningyou as her best friend, while Si Ningyou treated her as a bulletproof vest.
