Li Jin choked for a moment, then chuckled dryly twice before saying, "Haha, Lin Meimei, you really know how to joke!"

Lin Momo turned her head away, slowly closed her eyes, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Dr. Li, I'm a little tired."

Li Jin frowned, but still spoke gently, "Then you should rest first. You can call me if you need anything."

Li Jin left the room, and Lin Momo opened her eyes, muttering to herself with a look of disgust, "Why do I find this guy so annoying?"

Lin Momo couldn't figure it out.

On the other hand, after Yan Xiyue returned home, her family was finally relieved. They were afraid that Yan Xiyue might run away to elope with Lin Momo, and now that she was back, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"You brat, where have you been these past two days? Don't you know the whole city is looking for you!" Yan Chong was furious. More and more people outside were getting sick, to the point that people were being quarantined and prohibited from leaving their homes. There weren't many police officers left, and Yan Xiyue was nowhere to be found, which made him really uneasy.

Yan Xiyue's face was gloomy, and she didn't even bother to answer Yan Zhong.

Yan Xiyue's mother, Meng Lingzhu, knew that Yan Xiyue was definitely with Lin Momo. Seeing her distressed expression, she understood that the two of them must have had another argument. She immediately said, "Never mind, as long as she's back safe and sound, everything's fine. Yueyue, you must be exhausted. Go upstairs and rest. Don't go out for the next couple of days."

Yan Xiyue silently lifted her leg to go upstairs, but Yan Zhong said irritably, "Stop right there!"

Yan Xiyue stopped in her tracks, and Yan Zhong pointed at Meng Lingzhu and said, "She's like this because you spoiled her! If you hadn't stopped me from bringing her back after she ran away abroad with that crazy girl, would she be so wild now? I really don't know how you raised her!"

Meng Lingzhu lowered her head and said nothing more.

Yan Zhong said irritably, "Hurry up and tell me where you've been these past few days, or I'll send you straight to the Gongsun family to beg for forgiveness!"

Meng Lingzhu looked anxiously at Yan Xiyue, "Yueyue, just tell your father!"

Without turning her head, Yan Xiyue said, "Someone wanted to kill us. We were in a car accident and hid at a friend's house for a while."

Yan Chong's eyes widened. "Us? With whom?"

Yan Xiyue remained silent, but Yan Zhong had already guessed. "It's Lin Momo, isn't it? That crazy girl came to see you again? Ah, I know, the reason the engagement banquet was canceled that day was her scheme, wasn't it!"

Yan Xiyue turned around and shouted, "That wasn't her scheme! She did it for your own good!"

"Bang!" Yan Chong slammed his fist on the table angrily and shouted, "Is it for her own sake? It's one thing to blow her up, but she still cares about your marriage after you're divorced. Does she want my Yan family's assets?"

"She has money, she doesn't need it!" Yan Xiyue said angrily.

“Rich? What money does she have? Hasn’t she already given you her assets? I think she’s just playing hard to get! She wants you to come back and inherit the Yan family’s assets, and then she’ll take you back!” Yan Chong said.

"She's not that kind of person!" Yan Xiyue said, her eyes red. "She's still lying in a hospital bed because she saved me, while I'm standing here unharmed. If I weren't completely helpless, she wouldn't have driven me away!"

Tears streamed down Yan Xiyue's face as she choked out, "It's my fault for being so stupid. I can't even cook, I don't understand her feelings, and I don't know how to take care of her at all. I'm the most useless one! Waaah..."

After saying that, Yan Xiyue ran upstairs crying.

Yan Zhong and Meng Lingzhu exchanged glances. Yan Xiyue's words about Lin Momo being in a hospital bed to protect her had already convinced them that Lin Momo was not a greedy person who would betray others for personal gain.

Yan Xiyue collapsed onto the hospital bed, finally unable to hold back her sobs. Thinking of Lin Momo's words from the previous night, it felt as if a knife had ripped their once-connected hearts apart—

Although the marriage with the Gongsun family has been delayed, it will take place sooner or later.

At that moment, Gongsun Shengyi, who was drinking at the club, learned of Yan Xiyue's return and a disdainful smile appeared on his face. "Although this woman is somewhat attractive, according to the information I have, she is a lesbian."

“Mr. Gongsun, if you get your hands on her, wouldn’t you also be able to get the other flower of her lily?” a shifty-eyed henchman said.

Gongsun Sheng's eyes lit up. "That's right! How come I didn't think of that? At first, I was worried that staring at her face for the rest of my life would be too boring. This is killing two birds with one stone!"

Gongsun Sheng slapped his thigh and stood up. "Let's go find this woman's house and gather information!"

In the afternoon, Gongsun Sheng drove alone to the Yan family's house.

Yan Zhong personally greeted him. If asked where Yan Hai had gone, he would naturally say that he had gone to entertain Gu Li with the Gongsun family head!

"I heard that Sister Yue'er was in a car accident on her way home and was recuperating at a friend's house. She only returned today, so I specially brought her some nutritional supplements," Gongsun Shengyi said with a smile.

"You're too kind, kid. It's almost dinnertime, why don't you stay for dinner?" Yan Chong said with a smile.

"Then, I shall respectfully accept your offer!" Gongsun Sheng said with a smile, looking around before asking, "By the way, is Sister Yueyue seriously injured?"

"It's alright, it's all better now. Go check it out upstairs yourself!" Yan Chong said.

Gongsun Shengyi immediately stood up and said, "Then I'll go upstairs to see Sister Yueyue."

Meng Lingzhu frowned to herself, but said nothing.

After he went up, Meng Lingzhu said irritably, "How could you let him go up? They're not even engaged yet. What will Yueyue think if word gets out!"

"It's all set in stone, what's there to worry about?" Yan Chong said irritably. "Anyway, it's better than being with that crazy girl!"
