Chapter 14. Amitabha. Do not look at what is improper.

The hospital is quieter at night than other places.

In a private hospital room, a family of four, spanning three generations, were at an impasse due to differing opinions.

Ye Huaizhang had his own judgment: "She had a good talk with the young master of the Lü family. Obviously, she didn't want to waste any more time cooperating with us to put on this absurd show. Grandma, you are the elder, so she can't refuse you. She knows I won't bring out the Ugly King Jue, so she deliberately created this difficult problem."

Grandma Guan said, “If she wanted to deliberately make things difficult, she should have directly asked for 10 billion or 100 billion! She doesn’t have any of that, she doesn’t want a single penny, she just wants this worthless ugly jade pendant, just to honor her deceased mother. We are so lucky to have met such a reasonable and kind girl, Huaizhang, don’t take your good fortune for granted.”

Ye Huaizhang's father, Ye Jinsong, looked at his mother and then at his son, trying to act as a mediator and ease tensions.

"Could we give her something else of value instead?"

"She doesn't want it. Bao Ling isn't someone who talks about money; money and material things can't sway her at all. This ugly royal jade isn't even a valuable item. Huai Zhang, your grandfather didn't consider it a treasure back then." Old Madam Guan, suppressing her anger, couldn't help but mock, "How come it's become such an important heirloom left to you by your grandfather?"

Ye Huaizhang rubbed his slightly aching forehead and insisted, "It's not a matter of whether it's valuable or not. When Grandpa passed the Ugly King Jade to me, he repeatedly emphasized that it was a family heirloom and could not be given to outsiders. Dad was there at the time, and he heard it."

Ye Jinsong nodded: "My father did say that the Ugly King Jade should not be given to outsiders."

Yang Pinxian asked worriedly, "Then what should we do?"

The ward fell silent again.

Ye Huaizhang tried to persuade his grandmother: "What happened today was just a coincidence. It was mostly psychological. I still hope to file for divorce according to the agreement I made with Ye Baoling at noon, Grandma..."

Bang!

Before Ye Huaizhang could finish speaking, a loud bang was heard.

The ward was plunged into darkness instantly, with only the faint glow of the call button on the bedside table.

"Ouch……"

Old Madam Guan let out a painful cry.

"Grandma! What's wrong?" Ye Huaizhang pressed the pager immediately.

"Mom! Are you alright?!"

Hearing the unusual noise, the attendants and bodyguards waiting at the door pushed the door open and came in.

Using the light from outside the door, Yang Pinxian finally saw the scene clearly and shouted, "Blood! The old lady is bleeding! Quickly, get a doctor!"

It turned out that a light tube on the ceiling of the ward had exploded.

A shard of glass flew and hit Old Lady Guan, whose neck was bleeding.

Hospital staff arrived and turned on the backup lights.

Grandma Guan was injured in the neck. Fortunately, the glass shards did not cut the major artery, but she still bled quite a bit.

Ye Jinsong's eye was also cut by the shards, and suddenly there were two more patients in the ward.

After the wound was treated, Grandma Guan asked the medical staff to leave first, and looked at her grandson with a look of utter despair.

"If I, this old woman, weren't tough enough, I'd probably be lying in my coffin today."

Ye Huaizhang, who had just been standing firm like an impenetrable wall, fell silent instantly.

Although he still didn't believe it deep down.

But the bizarre coincidence left him speechless.

As a highly educated manager of a large corporation, Ye Jinsong initially did not believe in the fallacy of marrying for good luck, but various signs forced him to believe it.

He advised his son, "Huaizhang, why don't you listen to your grandmother's advice and take out the Ugly King's Jade?"

Ye Huaizhang looked at the bandage wrapped around his grandmother's neck, sighed slightly, and had to say, "Fine, no divorce. Let me state this first, I will not divorce Ye Baoling, I will not divorce."

He repeated the important thing three times, as if he were speaking to God.

"I'll talk to her about the specifics." Ye Huaizhang, who wanted to have control over everything, made the final compromise.

Grandma Guan knew her grandson was stubborn, and that continuing to argue today would only backfire, so she agreed, but still advised him: "Don't let things fall apart. Granny Tong said that if you and your husband don't sleep together for more than three days after you come back, something bad will happen, and today something really did happen. If you can't reach an agreement, and you can't sleep together tomorrow night, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."

"I know what I'm doing."

Ye Huaizhang suffered a mild concussion after the car accident, and he had a severe headache.

Yang Pinxian felt sorry for her son, "I believe Huaizhang will handle it well."

Ye Jinsong also said, "Yes, Mom, let Huaizhang handle this himself."

It was finally decided that, without getting a divorce, Ye Huaizhang would personally talk to Ye Baoling tomorrow.

After the three elders had all left, Ye Huaizhang rubbed his temples and stared thoughtfully at the newly installed light bulbs.

His assistant, Dong Jian, came in and asked him if he wanted to change wards.

There have been quite a few inexplicable disasters in this ward.

What kind of ward can we change to?

"Room 309 inside is also very quiet."

Ye Huaizhang pondered for a moment and said, "No need. Has the driver who caused the accident confessed?"

Dong Jian: "He insisted that the traffic accident was an accident, and the police accepted his testimony."

A ruthless glint flashed in Ye Huaizhang's eyes. "Have someone from the gang keep an eye on him. If necessary, use some underhanded tactics. We must get the truth about the accident out of him."

"clear."

*

With improved nutrition recently and a week of continuous basic skills training, Ye Baoling can clearly feel the relief and comfort of a healthier body.

After finishing her morning practice and taking a bath, Ye Baoling stood in front of the mirror. Her face was rosy and she looked much better than before.

The original owner was quite pretty, with a delicate pink complexion, bright eyes, and white teeth. After looking at her a few times, Ye Baoling almost fell in love with her.

She took a nap and woke up around nine o'clock. She went downstairs, and Sister Ping made her a bowl of wontons with thin noodles and an egg.

"I saved the eggs especially for you."

Ye Baoling slurped up a mouthful of noodles, finding them refreshingly chewy. "Thank you, Sister Ping."

Recently, Ye Baoling took out money twice to buy extra dishes and also bought a lot of new clothes and shoes with her cousin. Pingjie was a little worried that she was spending money recklessly. Seeing that there was no one in the restaurant, she whispered to her, "Miss, you should think more about yourself and try to save some money. After you get married, it will be very difficult to make a living if you don't have any savings."

Pingjie must have heard about the eldest son's family arranging a blind date for her. If Ye Baoling gets married, Pingjie, as the old maid she brought from the Ye family, will definitely go with her husband's family. Pingjie is not only thinking about her, but also about herself.

If the husband's family is large and the young lady is kind and weak-willed, and has neither power nor money, then she truly doesn't know what kind of miserable life she will have to live.

Ye Baoling also lowered her voice: "Sister Ping, don't worry, I have money."

Pingjie didn't believe she could have a lot of money, and said helplessly, "From now on, don't worry about anything in this family, and don't give out any more money. Listen to Pingjie."

"I understand." Ye Baoling smiled and didn't explain further. "The wontons are delicious."

Ping smiled and complained in a low voice, "I saved this for you in advance. If your younger cousins ​​are slow, you won't get any."

What should we eat for lunch?

"Stir-fried eggs with chives, stir-fried lettuce with fermented black beans, and sausage and snow peas. There are still two sausages left from the third son's family's last delivery, so I stir-fried them today. The other tonics are in the old lady's room. Your aunt wanted to take them to exchange for money, but your grandmother scolded her." Sister Ping chattered on and on about the trivial matters of the family to Ye Baoling.

Ye Baoling listened with a smile. Some things are better left unsaid and not taken too seriously.

The phone rang, and just as Sister Ping was about to answer it, the ringing stopped. It must have been answered on the second floor.

Not long after, Gu Man'er came running downstairs.

"Cousin! Ye Qingtang's HR department called and asked me to come for an interview this afternoon."

Ye Baoling raised her head slightly and blinked innocently: "What about me?"

Was the original owner's education level too low, and their resume was rejected?

Could it be that Lin Zhong really didn't leave her a back door?

That's impossible.

He's not that lacking in emotional intelligence.

Gu Man'er comforted her, "They might schedule the legal department interviews first, and your department's interviews will be later."

Ye Baoling nodded, unconcerned: "Probably. Luckily, it wasn't a job interview; I'm busy today."

What are you going to do?

"I'll tell you tonight once it's confirmed. You should go and prepare for the interview."

Just as Gu Man'er was about to go upstairs, the phone in the living room rang again, and Man'er went to answer it.

"Yes, you're looking for Gu Baolin? Oh, she's here." Gu Man'er covered the mouthpiece and looked at Ye Baoling with an exaggerated expression, "Cousin, Ye Qingtang's personnel department."

Ye Baoling quickly answered the phone, and sure enough, it was a call asking her to have an interview that afternoon.

Gu Man'er is at 2:00, and she is at 2:30.

The notification came way too late, but she had to squeeze in time even if she didn't have any.

The two sisters went upstairs to prepare for their job interviews.

Gu Man'er needed to bring all sorts of interview materials, while Ye Baoling really had nothing to prepare, so she could only put on makeup in advance.

She wore a natural makeup look, which was perfect for the original owner's youthful and beautiful age. Finally, she applied the lipstick her uncle had given her, making her look simple, beautiful, and radiant.

Gu Man'er scrutinized Ye Baoling's face and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Cousin, did you secretly go to further your studies behind my back? Your makeup skills have improved by leaps and bounds!"

Ye Baoling learned makeup on her own from fashion magazines during high school, and she even worked as a makeup artist at her university graduation ceremony, so her skills were naturally quite good.

She laughed and said, "I figured it out myself, isn't it alright?"

"Absolutely! Look at how well you drew your eyebrows. It's simply exquisite."

Ye Baoling teased her, "A college graduate still misusing idioms. Do you want me to do your makeup?"

"Yes! I'd love to have it!"

Just as Ye Baoling picked up the powder compact, she heard her younger cousin come upstairs and call out to her, "Cousin, someone is looking for you."

Is Old Madam Guan here?

It's time to come.

She said last night that she would come early this morning, and it's already 10:30 now.

Ye Baoling asked, as usual, "Who's looking for me?"

“A black car belonging to your Ye family is parked at the door. Get out.”

She went downstairs and saw Ye Huaizhang's assistant, Dong Jian, at the door. He greeted her with a smile.

It wasn't Old Madam Guan, but Ye Huaizhang who wanted to see her.

Ye Huaizhang was still in the hospital, so he specially invited her to the hospital to meet him.

It seems that Old Madam Guan failed to obtain the ugly jade pendant from the third son's family from Ye Huaizhang.

An ominous premonition welled up in my heart.

What did he want to do by inviting her to meet?

Considering that Ugly King Jue and the other party were both patients, Ye Baoling decided to go and see them.

She went back to her room to get her handbag, took their car to the hospital, went up to the 3rd floor, and followed Dong Jian into the suite of private wards.

Upon entering, one could see Ye Huaizhang's hospital gown open, and a doctor was examining him.

They may have been kept in darkness during their abduction, which is why their skin was visibly white.

The chest muscles are well-defined, with muscle lines extending naturally along the curve of the chest cavity, from below the collarbone to the chest line. They are clean and without any excess fat, showing that he exercises regularly.

The two points, rising and falling slightly with each breath, were somewhat alluring...

Tempting?

How could she have associated such words?

She wanted to gouge out her own eyes.

Amitabha Buddha. Do not look at what is improper. What a sin!

Ye Baoling forced herself to look away.

After the doctor finished the examination, he said, "No abnormalities were found so far. We will arrange for a CT scan. If everything is normal, you can be discharged this afternoon."

"Thank you, doctor."

"This requires a signature. Hasn't your family arrived yet?" The doctor took out the CT scan report. "Your signature is fine too."

Ye Huaizhang glanced at Ye Baoling and said, "My wife is here."

The doctor looked at Ye Baoling in surprise; he hadn't expected the eldest son of the Ye family to be married.

Why didn't the newspaper report mention this at all?

As a professional doctor, he didn't want to appear too gossipy, so he quickly handed her the application form and pen, saying, "Mrs. Ye, sign here."

Ye Baoling was somewhat annoyed at being suddenly put on the spot. She hadn't even received the Ugly King Jue yet, and they dared to put her on the fire.

She suddenly retorted, "Your hand isn't broken, is it? Sign it yourself!"

doctor:"!"

Is this what daily life is like for wealthy couples?

Ye Huaizhang paused slightly as he buttoned his shirt.

Fearing his boss would be unhappy, Dong Jiansheng quickly took the pen and said, "I'll sign it for you."

After Dong Jian and the medical staff left and the ward door closed, only Ye Baoling and the man on the hospital bed remained in the room.

Ye Baoling stood at the foot of the bed, placing her bag on the bedside table as she watched him button up his shirt one button at a time.

Judging from the situation, he won't easily give her the Ugly King's Jade.

She was waiting for him to speak.

Ye Huaizhang, having buttoned his shirt, calmly looked at his legal wife and said in a gentle tone, "My grandfather told me before he passed away that the Ugly King Jade is a family heirloom and cannot be given to outsiders. I can give you the Ugly King Jade, provided that you are not an outsider."

Ye Baoling thought to herself that since she also had the surname Ye, she could indeed be considered "not an outsider".

Unexpectedly, he changed the subject: "What makes someone not an outsider? A real married couple, a couple who don't divorce after a year, a couple who have a grand wedding."

"..."

Just moments ago, Ye Baoling was admiring the beautiful lines of the fabric when several thoughts suddenly popped into her head.

What is a true couple?

A couple who are truly passionate and serious?

My next book is "Many Stories of a Small Town," please add it to your favorites.

Chen Doujun was a secret guard by the emperor in ancient times. After being plotted against, he woke up to find that the world around him had completely changed.

She became the youngest daughter of the most shrewish widow in Lizhi Village, Shenzhen Town, Bao'an County.

Looking up, I suddenly saw lines of subtitles floating in the air.

【Ahhhh, Junjun has traveled back in time to a small fishing village in the late 1970s!】

Ahhhh, what a wonderful era!

【JunJun, your luck has arrived! Gold is everywhere!】

Gold everywhere?

Chen Doujun looked down and saw that her old hen had pooped all over the floor.

Outside the door, the sounds of my mother arguing and cursing with the neighbor lady could be heard.
