"I know." Ye Wangchuan smiled, quite coldly: "If you did something wrong, this wouldn't be the outcome. Didn't my aunt tell you? I'm a protective person."
Hua Ci couldn't describe how she felt at the moment. The earth-shattering feeling and humiliation made every cell in her body tremble.
Her fingertips trembled, and she wanted to say something: "Did she complain to you? Did she say something..."
However, the response she got was a call that had already been hung up.
Hua Ci stood there in a daze, as if she had been slapped again, making her ears buzz and her mind go blank.
She fell back onto the sofa, hunched over and covered her face, unable to calm down.
What did she do wrong
She didn't even have the chance to say anything about Qiao Nian's outrageous actions, such as how he shamelessly said he was a doctor in order to prevent her from taking the medicine.
She was clearly the one who was wronged, but no one stood on her side, as if she had become the bad guy.
And Ye Wangchuan's seemingly light words "The Ye family will withdraw all funding to her" actually had a huge impact.
The several medical projects she is currently researching all rely on the Ye family's financial resources, and her studio spends tens of millions every year to maintain the expenses of various medical research and charitable donations... Once the Ye family is unwilling to provide her with financial assistance, all the work she is currently doing will be suspended.
Ye Lan was nice to her.
But it was only after she started helping Ye Wangchuan that she began to receive large sums of financial assistance from the Ye family.
What Ye Lan gave her was just pocket money, not enough for her to develop her career.
After Hua Ci's brief moment of pain and unconsciousness, she quickly contacted Ye Lan and told her the whole story. She held back her shame and asked Ye Lan to help her ask if this was a joke.
Ye Lan didn't say anything because she was a girl, and turned to look for Ye Wangchuan.
But even her face was useless this time. Ye Wangchuan was not joking. He had already called and ordered to cut off the funding for the Huaci Medical Project.
Although Ye Lan was angry, he also knew that Hua Ci was beyond saving this time.
It would be fine if she offended Ye Wangchuan himself, but if she offended Qiao Nian...it was really hard for her to plead for mercy and she didn't want to.
After all, Hua Ci was the daughter that her good friend asked her to take care of, and Qiao Nian had also saved Ye Qi Chen's life and cured his leg disease... She was several decades older and knew what was more important.
The bottom line of this matter is that Hua Ci crossed the line, and none of them noticed Hua Ci's thoughts. Hua Ci himself also misunderstood his own position, ran to Qiao Nian and talked nonsense, and even showed his admiration, which was seen by Qiao Nian.
Ye Lan was in the wrong. He had looked for Ye Wangchuan twice but didn't even meet him, so he stopped looking again and acquiesced in Ye Wangchuan's treatment of Hua Ci this time.
She called Hua Ci back and tried to speak in a gentle tone: "…There is no room for maneuver in this matter. Don't worry, I promised your mother to take care of you, and I will still give you the living expenses you deserve. As for the other things, they are outside of life. You are still young and can work hard on your own."
The words "it's something outside of life" made Hua Ci pale and revealed the fig leaf of her dignity.
Even if Hua Ci wanted to say something else, after Ye Lan said this, she had nothing else to say and could only try to accept the reality painfully.
**
All this happened in just one night.
Qiao Nian didn't know.
After Gu San came back and gave her some cephalexin, she took two pills, turned off the lights, turned off the phone, and went to bed.
