Ye Zhiguo chuckled self-deprecatingly. Although his purpose in marrying Xu Yali was not entirely pure, he still loved that woman in his heart. What man wouldn't love such a beautiful woman?

Xu Yali only used him, and once she was done with him, she wanted to kick him to the curb. If he hadn't used some tricks... she probably wouldn't have even wanted to have a son for him!

Hmph... Ye Zhiguo isn't someone who can be summoned and dismissed at will!

Shen Yanhong had lived with him for decades. Just by looking at Ye Zhiguo's expression, she knew he must be thinking about that vixen again. She felt a pang in her heart and couldn't help but say sourly, "Thinking about Xu Yali again, huh? She's been dead for so many years, and you still can't forget her!"

Ye Zhiguo gave her a cold look with a gloomy face. Shen Yanhong's heart sank. She realized that she had said the wrong thing. Ye Zhiguo hated mentioning that woman the most. She had violated this man's taboo.

"I was so angry with that brat that I lost my mind... Look how ruthless she was. Xiao Hua is her brother, after all, but she treated him worse than an enemy. I took such good care of her, and I didn't even get a kind word in return..."

Shen Yan Hong sobbed softly, tears streaming down her face. Her ordinary appearance suddenly became more pitiful. Ye Zhiguo's expression softened, but he said impatiently, "Qingqing has always had this temper. Tell Xiao Hua not to provoke Qingqing. Just bear with it for another three years..."

Shen Yanhong's eyes lit up, and she deliberately probed, "Are you really planning to let Qingqing marry Lu Qingquan? Lan'er also likes..."

Ye Zhiguo interrupted her, his expression cold, "Lan'er can marry anyone, but she can't marry the man Qingqing likes. Tell Lan'er to keep her distance from Lu Qingquan in the future, so as not to upset Qingqing."

Shen Yanhong felt extremely bitter. With Qingqing on the left and Qingqing on the right, everyone had to give way to that brat.

“Lan’er will be sad, she is also yours…” Shen Yanhong couldn’t help but complain, but Ye Zhiguo interrupted her again, his eyes filled with coldness, “Whether it’s Lan’er or Xiao Hua, they are all children you brought here. My only children are Qingqing and Xiao Tong.”

Shen Yanhong felt even more pain in her heart, but dared not refute, and replied sullenly, "I know... I just felt wronged for Lan'er and Xiao Hua."

“What grievances could they possibly have? Have I skimped on their food or clothing? They live in such a big house, what grievances could they possibly have?” Ye Zhiguo said with great dissatisfaction.

“But the house belongs to that brat. Look at what she said today, now the whole neighborhood knows…” Shen Yanhong said sullenly.

Ye Zhiguo's expression was cold as he said, word by word, "It will be mine sooner or later, in three years at most!"

Upstairs, Ye Qingqing also couldn't sleep. On her first day back after being reborn, she was too excited and tossed and turned in bed. So she got up and started reading medical books, or rather, medical logs. They contained typical cases from the Xu family ancestors' medical practice, which were easy to understand and included illustrations.

Ye Qingqing read with great interest, and before she knew it, she had read most of the book. One case in particular caught her great interest, as the patient's condition was somewhat similar to Lu Mo's.

He also suffered severe injuries to both legs and was bedridden afterward. However, the ancestors of the Xu family found a way to restore the patient's tendons and veins using deer tendons. Moreover, after the deer tendons were restored, the patient's jumping ability was significantly better than before the injury.

However, this surgery is very complex and cannot be completed overnight.
