Rejected by Blood, Embraced by Love: All-Round Star Goes Viral-Chapter 61: The only way out is to study

Ye Zhaoping was infuriated upon hearing these words, but before he could react, a gang of thugs charged at him and started hitting him with fists and kicks.

Ye Zhaoping had never been beaten by a few youngsters like this before, and he became enraged and wanted to fight back, but the thugs were strong and pinned him down, beating him mercilessly.

Ye Zizheng sat on the ground in a sorry state, watching the scene unfold, with a cold, mocking smile curling at the corner of her mouth.

She even pointed at Ye Zhaoping from the side, adding fuel to the fire, saying, "He even said you guys are just a bunch of useless brats with nothing but baby teeth, who wouldn’t dare to settle scores with him."

"Only know how to bully the weak and fear the strong, a bunch of street thugs who dare not do anything..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the thugs became even more enraged, pinning Ye Zhaoping down and beating him to death, "Calling us useless? I’ll let you know how tough I am today!"

"Ah!" Ye Zhaoping screamed in pain, glaring viciously at Ye Zizheng, and was eager to charge at her, "You beast, I’ll strangle you to death right now!"

Unfortunately, before he could make a move, one of the thugs kicked him away, and his head hit the threshold.

Ye Zizheng looked at him lying on the ground, and a chilling cold smile emerged from her numb, empty eyes.

Outside, a woman who heard the commotion rushed in hurriedly, shouting in distress, "Old Ye, how can you hit the child again, you can’t treat kids like this!"

After speaking, the woman was dumbfounded to see a group of men standing in the Ye Family’s courtyard, Ye Zhaoping lying on the ground, and Ye Zizheng covered in injuries leaning against the wall.

The thugs didn’t pay her any mind, kicking Ye Zizheng to the ground: "Bitch, dared to steal my things, now hand over everything valuable in your house!"

Ye Zizheng whimpered in pain, unable to fight back at all.

The woman outside was startled by the scene and quickly rushed over to pull them away, "You can’t beat people like this! She’s still a girl, you all..."

"Get lost, what’s it to you!"

The thugs pushed her away and continued to punch and kick Ye Zizheng on the ground, "You stinking whore, no wonder your old man doesn’t like you, you’re just a born slut, hand over my stuff!"

Ye Zizheng lay motionless on the ground, but a peculiar emotion flashed across her face as she heard these words, her eyes filled with hatred.

The woman was terrified, afraid Ye Zizheng would be beaten to death, and rushed over to shield her, "You can’t beat people like this, it’ll lead to death, what did she even do!"

Upon seeing this, Ye Zizheng was a bit bewildered, moving her painful mouth to shout, "Aunt Jiang, don’t care about me, go away!"

The thugs impatiently pushed her away too, "Get lost, where did you nosy old woman come from!"

The woman didn’t let go, once again shielding Ye Zizheng with her body, blocking their fists and kicks, crying, "Stop it, you can’t keep hitting her like this!"

The thugs turned a deaf ear, only finding her increasingly annoying, and one kicked her in the back.

"Whoa—" the woman groaned in pain, lying on top of Ye Zizheng and hardly able to move.

Passing by, Chen Cheng saw this scene and was startled, quickly rushing over, "Who are you! Stop!"

The thugs didn’t pay him any attention, and immediately began another round of punching and kicking against the two of them.

Ye Zizheng looked at Aunt Jiang being kicked over, a look of panic and hatred flashing through her eyes, and she endured the severe pain to crawl up from the ground, yelling at Chen Cheng:

"Quickly, save Aunt Jiang first!"

She said this while picking up a large stone from the ground, and rushed towards the thugs.

Seeing this, the thugs acted faster, and seeing her daring to throw a stone at them, they grabbed her wrist and smashed the stone onto her head instead.

With a "bang," blood instantly streamed down Ye Zizheng’s face, fierce and frightening.

The thugs were also taken aback; they merely wanted to teach this bitch, Ye Zizheng, a lesson, but they never intended to kill her!

Chen Cheng’s youthful face was horrified, staring at her in disbelief, "Ye Zizheng!"

Ye Zizheng was momentarily dazed but quickly regained her senses, enduring the pain as she charged at them, "Save Aunt Jiang first... Save Aunt Jiang first!"

Her weak voice shouted, as if clinging onto the last bit of strength.

The thugs hadn’t expected her to be so crazy and were frightened by her appearance, hurriedly kicking her aside, but were caught by Ye Zizheng clinging onto their feet.

Determined, Ye Zizheng raised the stone and smashed it toward one thug, frightening him so much that he lifted his foot to kick her, but was kicked aside by Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng didn’t care about the thugs, hurriedly pulling her up and carrying Aunt Jiang on his back, "I’ll take you to the hospital!"

Ye Zizheng, however, shook him off, blood trickling from her forehead with each movement, seemingly oblivious to the pain, and handed him a phone, "Take Aunt Jiang first, use this phone to call an ambulance... go!"

Chen Cheng furrowed his brow tightly, finally glancing at her before quickly carrying Aunt Jiang away.

Only then did Ye Zizheng’s expression relax, gripping the last thug tightly, pressing the stone against his face with force.

"Don’t... don’t tell Jiang... Yinru..." she said weakly, lips slightly parted, "Let her... do well on her exams..."

After all, for people like them.

The only way out was through education...

Chen Cheng was startled, his large back stiffened, "I will come back to save you soon."

Afterwards, Ye Zizheng slumped against the courtyard wall, her face stained with blood and tears mixed with a smile, her gaze hopeful as she looked at the mess in the courtyard.

Medical exams revealed that Ye Zizheng died from severe internal organ damage due to excessive blood loss. Her father, Ye Zhaoping, died of an intracranial hemorrhage due to the lack of timely medical intervention.

As for Jiang Yinru’s mother, Aunt Jiang, her new injuries triggered old ailments, leaving her unconscious and bedridden.

With the dissipation of Ye Zizheng’s life awareness, the roles of police and medics were portrayed with precision and silence while handling and surveying the scene, and the assistant director’s shout of "cut" finally marked the end of Gu Zhi’s role.

On set, everyone was slow to recover from the scene.

Completely immersed in the story.

Especially Gu Zhi’s expression in that final scene, numb yet brimming with hope.

It was clear that just a little more, just a little more, and she could have escaped the clutches of her family and survived.

Even though there would be a price to pay.

But it was better than watching the last glimmer of hope vanish before her eyes.

Gu Zhi quickly detached from the emotions, not allowing herself to get too deep. freewēbnoveℓ.com

She had performed such emotional scenes so many times, and had long become adept at it.

After all, she had crawled out of a swamp herself.

Bai Yuelin, who acted alongside her, had a look of admiration and awe in his eyes, whether it was Ye Zizheng in the play or Gu Zhi who portrayed Ye Zizheng, both amazed him.

He handed her a wet towel, "Gu Zhi, are you alright? Your acting was truly breathtaking."
