Chapter 325 She Knew It to Him

When he saw what kind of medicine it was, his mind went blank.

The joints of the hand holding the medicine box gradually turned white.

This is a box of birth control pills, and a box of... mifepristone, a drug that can cause abortion.

Ji Lianqi felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Are these the medicines Ye Ying was taking recently? She did this just to avoid getting pregnant.

A feeling of powerlessness and frustration came over him like a tidal wave.

I can’t really describe what my mood is at this moment.

All in all, it was terrible.

Ji Lianqi opened the two boxes of medicine separately. The contraceptive pills had been opened, while the packaging of mifepristone was still brand new.

It seems that she...may have just kept the medicine ready and has not used it yet.

Despite this, Ji Lianqi still felt extremely angry and threw the two boxes of medicine into the trash can.

He won't let her eat those things anymore!

If he doesn't want a child, he should just take good care of himself in the future. Why does she have to take these harmful medicines?

Ji Lianqi was in a very bad mood. He glanced around the room which he had just messed up and started to tidy it up.

He urgently needed to find something to do to distract himself and calm himself down.

After tidying up and sorting everything inside and out, he stared at the bed where they usually slept, lost in thought.

The floral-colored bed sheets irritated him greatly.

This is the color that Ye Ying likes, and they went to the department store to buy it together.

He suddenly pulled the bed sheet off with force and prepared to change it.

As the bed sheet was pulled off, a letter fell to the ground along with it.

Ji Lianqi bent down, picked up the letter and read it.

The letter was anonymous and the recipient was Ye Ying.

But he felt vaguely that the font looked familiar.

Isn't this the letter he almost opened last time?

While he was hesitating whether to open it, his hand had already uncontrollably pulled out the letter.

When the letter paper was pulled out, a faint smell of ink wafted into my nose.

The moment he began to read the first line, his hands couldn't help shaking.

This......

This is a letter written by his father Ji Xingguo to Ye Ying!

He looked down hastily.

But when he saw his father mention that he could live for about three months, he gasped.

When Ji Lianqi saw that line of words, he felt as if all the blood in his body had solidified and stopped flowing at that moment.

Such a big thing, but Ye Ying - she was so cruel as to hide it from him and not let him know!

Although he knew clearly that this was his father's intention, he still felt extremely sad.

Ji Lianqi put the letter away and ran out like crazy, not caring what time it was, and called home using the gate phone.

Hopefully it's not too late.

It is almost eleven o'clock in the middle of the night and the old man usually goes to bed early.

Ji Lianqi made five or six calls in a row but no one answered.

He kept calling several more times without getting tired of it, and would not feel at ease until his parents answered the call.

Wang Qiuhong, who was far away in Gan Province, heard the phone ringing outside and woke up Ji Xingguo who was snoring beside her: "Old man, wake up quickly, the phone seems to be ringing all the time."

"Hurry up and answer it. Maybe he has something urgent to tell us." After Ji Xingguo said this, he turned over and fell into a deep sleep.

The phone was still ringing. Wang Qiuhong couldn't sleep because of the noise, so she quickly got out of bed and went to the living room to answer the phone.

"Who is this? Can't people sleep in the middle of the night?" Without waiting for the person on the phone to speak, Wang Qiuhong started cursing.

Hearing the familiar voice on the phone, Ji Lianqi's heart, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly began to slowly calm down.

"Who is it? Are you sick? You're calling but you don't say anything!" Seeing that the person on the phone didn't say anything, Wang Qiuhong cursed again in annoyance.

Seeing this, Ji Lianqi hurriedly said, "Mom, it's me."

"Son, son?" Wang Qiuhong was extremely surprised, with a hint of uneasiness in her voice: "Why did you call me at this time? Did something happen? Don't scare me!"

"Mom." Ji Lianqi hesitated for a moment and decided not to tell her about himself and Ye Ying for the time being.

After a pause, he asked with concern, "How is my dad? Is he...ok?"

The moment he asked the question, his voice was trembling.

There was silence for a while on the other end of the phone, followed by a faint sigh.

"Well, that's it. It's still the same as before."

"I want to talk to Dad."

Wang Qiuhong responded and put down the phone.

Afterwards, Ji Lianqi vaguely heard his mother calling his father through the receiver.

After a while, Ji Xingguo's voice was heard.

"Lian Qi? Is that you? Why are you calling me so late at night? Did something happen?"

Ji Lianqi took a deep breath and said, "Dad! I know everything. Why did you and Mom hide this from me?"

Ji Xingguo on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "Ye Ying told you, right? Didn't I tell this kid... not to tell you first? I was just afraid that you would worry... Hey!"

Ji Lianqi secretly exerted force in the hand holding the phone.

"Dad, Ye Ying didn't tell me. I just found out by myself when I accidentally saw the letter."

"Dad, you shouldn't have kept this from me."

At this time, Wang Qiuhong also said, "That's right! Old man, look at you, I told you to tell my son about it, but you refused to tell him. You...wuwuwu."

As Wang Qiuhong spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Ji Xingguo sighed and said, "Lian Qi, don't blame Ye Ying for thinking too much about this matter. I told her not to tell you."

"I did this for no other reason than to worry that my problems would affect you and cause you to worry about me for nothing."

When Ji Lianqi heard this, he felt as if he had been punched in the chest, and felt depressed.

"How can you worry for nothing? You are my father."

....

After hanging up the phone, Ji Lianqi walked back with heavy steps.

The two things that happened in succession hit him hard, and a variety of emotions intertwined in his heart, causing his mood to suddenly fall to the bottom.

Seven days later.

Ever since that night, Ji Lianqi seemed to have disappeared, and not even a trace of him was seen again.

Despite her disappointment, Ye Ying persevered in running her clothing store and even considered opening a branch.

She is busy during the day, but when it is quiet at night, she can't help but think too much.

Did I say something too harsh that day?

She could sense that he was in a bad mood the moment he turned and left.

If that's the case...

Ye Ying shook her head, picked up the bucket and went out to get water, ready to take a shower and go to bed.

Just as I reached the public washbasin, I heard a rustling sound coming from outside the wall.

Ye Ying pricked up her ears and listened.

Two furtive male voices were heard.

"That bitch lives here. I saw her two days ago!"

"Let's go! Let's climb over the wall and take a look. If he's really hiding inside, we'll kill him right away!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ying's breath caught in her throat and she ran towards the warehouse.
