Chapter 49: Using Stolen Things as Favors

Li Ying's heart was suddenly touched, so he used the Jiang Nuannuan incident to let her move out of the Ye family and live in the courtyard.

"Yingying, I'm not a foolishly filial person, otherwise I wouldn't have disobeyed my family's arrangements and agreed to marry you."

"Ye Jingchi..." Li Ying's heart beat faster for no reason. She pressed her chest and tried to suppress the heartbeat.

Ye Jingchi held Li Ying's hand tightly: "Yingying, I admit that I didn't have much feelings for you at the beginning, but after we got along, I found that I felt at ease when you slept next to me."

"Then I kissed you, and that's when I realized my feelings. I like you, very much."

Li Ying stood up awkwardly: "Ye Jingchi, you may need to calm down."

"Yingying!"

Ye Jingchi hugged Li Ying tightly from behind: "I will give you a satisfactory result regarding Jiang Nuannuan's matter, and this result will definitely not hurt you."

Li Ying tried to pry Ye Jingchi's hand open, but found that the back of his hand was bleeding again, so she stopped struggling.

"Ye Jingchi, let me go, I will bandage your wound."

Ye Jingchi let go of Li Ying and sat down obediently.

Li Ying carefully bandaged the wound on the back of Ye Jingchi's hand.

"Ye Jingchi, can you give me some time?"

She really doesn't want to fall in love with anyone right now.

"Okay, I'll give you some time. I'll keep waiting until you agree to give me your heart and let me take care of it."

Li Ying looked up and their eyes met, with an indescribable affection spreading between the two of them.

On the first day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Ying went to the Jing family.

There was another person sitting in the living room, Academician Cao.

Academician Cao was shocked when he saw Li Ying. He stood up and asked, "Li Ying, why are you here?"

"I'll treat Master Jing's leg."

What?

Jing Yingyan, with his bad temper, actually agreed to let Li Ying treat his leg.

As expected, this Li Ying is really not a simple person.

"I didn't expect Comrade Li Ying to be so capable!"

Li Ying smiled indifferently, her eyes falling on an exquisite gift box on the table. She was very familiar with this box.

"Academician Cao, are you here to see Master Jing?"

"Well, I got a thousand-year-old ginseng and sent it specially to Young Master Jing." The flattery on Academician Cao's face made people want to vomit.

Mrs. Jing came out of the room with a smile on her face, but it was a fake smile: "Academician Cao, Ying Yan said that he doesn't need any ginseng. You should take it back."

"Mrs. Jing, Young Master Jing is being polite to me. This thousand-year-old ginseng of mine has excellent nourishing effects. Giving it to Young Master Jing is the best way to make the best use of it, otherwise it will be wasted." Academician Cao smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a line.

Li Ying didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but unexpectedly, Academician Cao opened the exquisite box.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Comrade Li Ying."

Li Ying glanced at the contents of the box and smiled faintly, "Academician Cao, I'm afraid you've been deceived!"

Academician Cao was stunned for a moment and asked dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, this ginseng is less than a thousand years old. It must be fake."

What?

Academician Cao looked at the ginseng in his hand. It was a gift from Lu Xingzhou, so how could it be fake?

"Li Ying, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Li Ying's expression was calm as she reached out and took the ginseng from the box.

"Real ginseng has a slender rhizome, a main root with longitudinal wrinkles, and a light yellow color. The fibrous roots are sparse and long, and have good toughness. But yours is just someone else's ginseng, which was soaked and dried before being passed off as a fake."

Academician Cao snatched the ginseng from Li Ying's hand and looked at it carefully. He couldn't tell whether the ginseng was real or fake at all. However, after hearing Li Ying's convincing description, he felt very angry.

Lu Xingzhou actually used a fake ginseng to deceive him!

Because of this ginseng, he made an exception and let Rong Ning join the research team, but he didn't expect that these two people would team up to deceive him!

Too much!

"Academician Cao, you are too honest. You didn't even realize you were being cheated." Li Ying gave him face and added.

Academician Cao's expression brightened. "This ginseng was indeed given to me by someone else. I never thought it was fake! Thanks to Comrade Li Ying for her discerning eye for treasure, otherwise I would have been fooled! Madam Jing, I'm so sorry! I'll come to apologize another day!"

Academician Cao put away the box and left in shame.

Mrs. Jing was very grateful: "Thanks for recognizing that it was fake, otherwise I really don't know how to refuse him."

"Why should Aunt Jing be afraid of such a person?"

"As the saying goes, it's better to offend a gentleman than a villain. This person is good at flattering people and knows a lot of people. If you offend him, you never know when he will make things difficult for you. It's hard to guard against him."

The Jing family disdains to bother with such a person, but they can't be prepared for this person to be too insidious!

Li Ying understood these principles and carried the medicine box into Jing Yingyan's bedroom.

Jing Yingyan was making toys with some tin sheets and assembling them very carefully.

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Master Jing!"

Jing Yingyan glanced at Li Ying: "Are you happy?"

Li Ying shrugged: "It's okay."

Jing Yingyan glanced at Li Ying, his gaze deliberately pausing on her lower abdomen.

"I heard you have a courtyard house."

"Um."

Li Ying opened the medicine box.

"It's too troublesome for you to run around like this. Why don't I move to your courtyard?" Jing Yingyan turned to look at Li Ying, and no emotion could be seen in his deep eyes.

Li Ying thought that Jing Yingyan's leg would not heal in a day or two, and her belly was getting bigger and bigger as the months passed, so it was really difficult for her to move back and forth.

Is he concerned about her?

"If Master Jing agrees, I have no objection."

Jing Yingyan curled his lips and said, "But there is one thing. You can't let anyone know that I live in a courtyard."

It turns out that she just didn't want to be disturbed. Blame her for being too sentimental.

"no problem."

Zhou Qi was also in the courtyard, so Li Ying didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Rong Ning didn't know why Academician Cao suddenly announced that she was not qualified and asked her to return to the nurses' station.

She asked Academician Cao about the situation and found out that there was a problem with the ginseng sent by Lu Xingzhou.

Rong Ning was very angry and ran to the army to find Lu Xingzhou.

"Ningning, why are you here?"

"Lu Xingzhou, do you care about my affairs?" Rong Ning asked angrily, his eyes red with anger.

The research lab was going to decide the winner by the end of the year, but her wish to step on Li Ying was ruined by Lu Xingzhou.

"What's wrong with you? Tell me clearly!"

Lu Xingzhou still has to rush to rehearse.

"Why did you send fake ginseng to Academician Cao?"

Lu Xingzhou went over and covered Rong Ning's mouth, pulling her away from the crowd. "Rong Ning, you're crazy! If anyone hears this, will I still be the company commander?"

Bribery is also a crime!

"You only care about your company commander. Have you ever cared about me? I'm your wife, but you actually used fake ginseng to fool Academician Cao. He kicked me out of the research lab and sent me back to the nurses' station."

Lu Xingzhou didn't expect that the ginseng was fake. He had stolen it from Li Ying's house before. Could it be that he was fooled by Li Ying?

"Go back first, I'll talk to you later."

"No! You must come with me today to go and explain things clearly to Academician Cao!" Rong Ning grabbed Lu Xingzhou and said, "Tell Academician Cao that this ginseng was given to you by Li Ying!"
