But Xia Yanyan stubbornly denied, “Dad, it really wasn’t me!”

“Get out of the water now! Where’s your phone?”

“It’s on the tatami. If you don’t believe me, let her take a look!”

Xia Yanyan’s voice was met with surly arrogant defiance, as she took the towel handed to her and wrapped it around her waist, slowly coming ashore.

The fish tail, which was just shimmering in the water with an enchanting glow a moment ago, turned into a pair of beautiful, long legs as soon as it left the water. The servant at the side immediately draped a bathrobe over her shoulders.

Only after the servant had helped her dress, did she leisurely walk towards the tatami, pick up her own phone, unlock it, and hand it to her father.

She made a much grieved face and said, “Dad, whether there are any pictures of her on my phone, you can check for yourself.”

Xia Wealth scrolled through his daughter’s phone and found, indeed, nothing.

Xia Yanyan’s proud gaze fell on Ye Xingguang, laughing, “Ye Xingguang, what do you have to say now?”

Ye Xingguang’s face was tight, “The absence of them in your phone only means that you’ve destroyed all evidence, Xia Yanyan. Don’t think you can prove your innocence this way, I won’t forgive you unless you surrender all channels of transmission!”

Upon hearing this, Xia Yanyan immediately nuzzled herself into Xia Ye Zhao’s arms, “Brother, look, this woman is clearly making false accusations. She wants to throw dirt on me. Now I feel so cold. Ah-choo.”

Upon hearing her sneeze, Xia Ye Zhao felt worried. His gaze fell on the wet swimsuit under her bathrobe, saying softly, “Go change into dry clothes, don’t catch a cold. If you didn’t do this, I won’t allow them to wrong you.”

Xia Yanyan nodded, and was about to leave with leisurely steps.

“Thinking of leaving? No way!” Ye Xingguang blocked Xia Yanyan’s path.

Xia Ye Zhao knit his brows, “Miss Ye, the situation is clear. This incident isn’t Yanyan’s doing. If you continue to cause trouble, it does seem a bit unreasonable. My sister is frail and her clothes are wet, she might catch a cold if she doesn’t change. I understand your feelings, but I hope you understand others as well.”

But Ye Xingguang wouldn’t let her go. Seeing her big brother care so much about Xia Yanyan made bitterness surge in her heart.

She couldn’t help but ask in grievance, “Is it a big deal if she catches a cold and not a big deal if my pictures are flying all over the internet?”

Xia Ye Zhao sternly said, “I’ve already told you, I’ll investigate this matter for you. Please be reasonable, and move aside. I tolerate you because your family saved my little sister once, but this doesn’t give you the right to hurt my family without fear.”

Had she hurt his family?

Did her brother see her that way?

Ye Xingguang’s impenetrable heart was wounded. The mist welled up in her eyes instantly.

She defiantly stared at Xia Ye Zhao, her voice choked with emotion, “I won’t let you pass. What about it? I know whether she’s been wronged, and she knows too. Unless she hands everything over, I won’t let her go!”

Xia Ye Zhao became enraged; and stared back at Ye Xingguang, with an intense gaze: “Miss Ye, don’t you think you are being arrogant! As long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone harm my sister. Yanyan, let’s go.”

Xia Yanyan nodded, her mood lightened up.

Ye Xingguang didn’t want to let them, but she didn’t want to be disrespectful towards her elder brother either. Watching her elder brother protect Xia Yanyan, and leave past her, she could no longer hold back her tears.

For that moment, she wanted to scream at Xia Ye Zhao, “Brother, I am also your sister! The one being bullied is also your sister!”

And then, her voice truly broke through, croaking out one word, “Brother…”
