Lin Feiwei rested for a while until her strength returned. She rushed over, grabbed Ling Feifei's hair again, and slapped her face repeatedly. Her phone was also sent flying. This time, Lin Feiwei had the upper hand, straddling Ling Feifei and beating her fiercely.
Rivals meeting, their eyes burning with anger, especially when facing a rival who dared to provoke her. Lin Feiwei fought with genuine ferocity. Ling Feifei was eventually beaten to the point where her nose bled profusely, and blood also streamed from her mouth, making her look terrifying.
Lin Feiwei yelled while she fought, "You cheap slut, I'll kill one if I can. If you die, I'll just pay compensation!"
The servants had long since been scared away by the commotion, each cowering and not daring to intervene. Seeing the situation escalate to the point where someone might die, Mother Sun tried to stop them but was held back by Ye Wan.
Ye Wan pulled her back to her room. Once inside, Mother Sun said with lingering fear, "What if someone dies if we don't intervene?"
"This is their business, it has nothing to do with us. Does your face still hurt?"
Ye Wan had personally orchestrated this scene. How could she let Mother Sun ruin it? She knew very well that Ling Feifei's arrogance in the Gu residence was tolerated by Gu Yunting, but she also knew that while Gu Yunting might bully her, he wouldn't treat Mother Sun too harshly.
Therefore, the priority was to get rid of Ling Feifei first and protect Mother Sun.
She had grown accustomed to it over the years; Gu Yunting's torment had been happening for more than a day or two.
Mother Sun felt a sudden pang of pain in her face upon Ye Wan's reminder. She touched her face, "I forgot about the pain while watching them fight. Now that you mention it, it hurts again."
"You can apply this medicine more often. Stay in the room and don't go anywhere. Let Gu Yunting handle it," Ye Wan instructed Mother Sun with concern.
"I understand. You shouldn't talk either, rest your throat." Mother Sun wouldn't truly meddle; after all, she wasn't the housekeeper anymore.
Seeing that Mother Sun had taken her words to heart, Ye Wan left and returned to her room. The sounds of Ling Feifei were gone from outside, only Lin Feiwei's curses could still be heard. It seemed Lin Feiwei had won; her fighting spirit was stronger.
Ye Wan returned to her room and removed the bandage from her neck. As expected, the ugly wound was a little red, likely inflamed. She found the medicine Jin Lan had brought her, applied it, re-bandaged her neck, locked the door, and went to bed.
Starting tomorrow, she had to arrange her brother's surgery. With this on her mind, Ye Wan slept restlessly, constantly dreaming. One moment she dreamt her brother's surgery failed and he died; the next, she dreamt he had a successful surgery and grew up to be a handsome young man.
Ye Wan broke out in a cold sweat. She sat up and checked the time; it was already nine in the evening. She got out of bed, disinfected and redressed her wound, took a simple bath, and found she couldn't sleep. She took out her notebook and began to study, finally falling asleep after midnight.
The next day, Mother Sun came to knock on her door early. Upon entering, Mother Sun said excitedly, "That woman named Ling has finally left."
"What did Gu Yunting say about your position as housekeeper?" Ye Wan wasn't concerned about Ling Feifei; she only wanted to know if Mother Sun's housekeeper position had been restored.
"Not yet, the young master hasn't said anything. It doesn't matter to me whether I'm the housekeeper or not... You have no idea how close someone came to dying yesterday. That woman named Ling almost died. I heard from the people who took her to the hospital that she might have permanent after-effects," Mother Sun said, gesturing to her head.
