"Brother Yun, Uncle Nian, come in and sit down. My mom is still cooking in the kitchen." Bai Wanru greeted them warmly as soon as she saw them coming, her eyes glued to Ling Yunjue.
"Yes, we brought you some vegetables and rice. Let us know if you need anything else." Ling Yunjue handed the rice and meat she had just bought to Bai Wanru.
Although Bai Wanru was reluctant to leave the living room, she still took the things and delivered them to the kitchen.
They mustn't let the two of them see what they're thinking.
After Bai Wanru left, Ling Yunjue asked Nian Mufeng, "So, is Comrade Bai really interested in me? I didn't sense anything!"
Nian Mufeng was a little doubtful. Bai Wanru did glance at Ling Yunjue a couple of times, but that didn't prove anything. "It shouldn't be that! I didn't notice."
Hearing his father-in-law's words, Ling Yunjue felt at ease. His father-in-law would never harm him, and he didn't sense that Bai Wanru liked him.
She's just a little timid and has a chick complex, which is why she relies on him. Once Bai Wanru finds someone she likes, she won't have this dependence anymore.
kitchen.
"Mom, Uncle Nian and Brother Yun are here. How much longer until the food is ready?"
"Almost done." Mother Bai was busy, her forehead covered in sweat.
Before the sauce thickens, add some seasonings to the braised pork.
"Alright, hurry up and take the food out. I'll go tidy up and come right back." After serving the last dish, Bai's mother hurriedly went back to her room to get ready.
When she reappeared in the living room, she was a still charming young woman, with a faint fragrance emanating from her.
"Brother Nian, Comrade Ling, I'm late. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Mother Bai said gently.
“It’s alright, you’ve worked hard today, come and eat! I’ve found you a job, it’s temporary, 18 yuan a month, enough for you and your daughter to live on.” Nian Mufeng said in a loud and generous voice, without paying any attention to Bai’s mother.
Hearing this, Bai's mother felt a pang of sadness. What could 10 yuan buy? They looked like military officers, powerful, wealthy, and with high salaries. If she married them, she wouldn't have to worry about anything for the rest of her life.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Nian. Please eat quickly. If it weren't for you, Wanru and I wouldn't know where we would be right now."
Bai's mother gently placed a piece of braised pork on Nian Mufeng's plate, then placed one on her own plate, and ate it with a calm expression.
Bai Wanru followed suit.
Nian Mufeng felt disgusted by the food that Bai's mother had put on her plate, so he put it back on her plate and took a piece from the bowl to eat himself.
Ling Yunjue also felt disgusted, but his heart softened when he saw Bai Wanru's pitiful eyes.
It's just a piece of meat; Zhao Zhao wouldn't be so petty as to fuss over it.
Bai Wanru breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ling Yunjue eat. As long as he could eat, that was good. Men, once they start, they'll start again. There's no wall that can't be broken up.
The meal was enjoyed by both the host and guests.
"Why is it so hot?" Ling Yunjue felt hot all over.
"Yes, maybe I'm too full and it's a bit hot." Nian Mufeng rubbed his full stomach.
This braised pork is delicious.
Ling Yunjue was still quite hungry; the food was just too delicious.
As soon as the two put down their bowls and chopsticks, a wave of heat hit them, so intense it made them dizzy.
He collapsed onto the table, feeling dizzy.
Bai's mother looked at the person who had fainted on the table.
"We each helped one person into the room."
Bai Wanru couldn't hear what her mother was saying at all; she was completely focused on Ling Yunjue, her eyes glued to him.
They carried people on their shoulders, one person helping the other back to their room.
Soon after, suggestive sounds came from the room.
Bai's mother knew medicine, and this time she used a strong medicine, just in case it didn't work the first time, she would find another opportunity next time.
The medicine was just right; it made me dizzy, and it took a full 12 hours for it to subside.
Two couples were sleeping haphazardly on two beds.
Bai's mother was the first to wake up. Despite her backache, she took out a letter she had written in advance and placed it on the table.
Go and call Bai Wanru.
Bai Wanru remained unconscious.
Ling Yunjue was about to wake up.
Not daring to delay any longer, he quickly took out the letter written by Bai Wanru, placed it by the bedside, picked her up, and left.
Bai's mother hadn't gone far. Since moving here, she had rented a small house nearby, and going there now would be a good way to spend some time there.
The houses are not far apart, only about a ten-minute walk.
Not long after the Bai family mother and daughter left, Ling Yunjue and Nian Mufeng also woke up.
Looking at the red marks all over his body, he knew what had happened.
The two men, enraged, smashed everything in the room.
Damn it.
His lifelong innocence was ruined by two women.
After venting his anger, he picked up the letter that had fallen to the ground and began to read it.
The two letters are very similar:
Brother Nian, I'm so sorry. You saved my daughter and me from the fire. I have no way to repay you. I can still have children. I thought that since you have a son, I would give you a son to inherit the family business. After the child is born, I will leave him at your doorstep and never come looking for you again.
Yours truly, Bai Qianliu.
The other letter was identical except for the reason given.
Ling Yunjue's eyes reddened as she looked at the letter.
Ye Zhaoyu was unable to conceive, and after five years of marriage she still couldn't have children, so they divorced.
The news spread throughout Ye Zhaoyu's circle.
When Ling Yunjue first heard about it, he asked Ye Zhaoyu about it. She said it was false and that these rumors were not important. With the child's life, all the rumors would fall apart on their own.
Ling Yunjue hesitated whether or not to go find Bai Wanru.
He loved Ye Zhaoyu, but he also wanted to have his own child. So, he decided to keep the child and, if Ye Zhaoyu really couldn't have children, he and Ye Zhaoyu could adopt the child and raise it under their care.
Ling Yunjue comforted himself, it wasn't that he didn't believe Ye Zhaoyu's words, it was just that he couldn't find Bai Wanru.
“Xiaoyu, the story about the miracle doctor was spread to you by Lin Miaoyin. Now she’s up to something, claiming that she can also treat illnesses, that she’s apprenticed under a famous doctor, and that she’s especially good at treating difficult and complicated diseases. She charges 10,000 yuan per consultation.” Ye Fei told Ye Zhaoyu the latest information he had gathered.
"I knew she had ulterior motives. Has anyone sought her medical help?" Ye Zhaoyu asked curiously.
"Yes, she examined them, but she kept saying there was a lack of medicinal herbs, that the herbs were incomplete, or that she wouldn't prescribe anything. She examined several doctors, but didn't prescribe a single medicine." This was the first time Ye Fei had seen a doctor like this.
"As long as it's confirmed that she did it, we don't need to keep an eye on her anymore."
Lin Miaoyin is a person who is both clever and not clever.
She was clever enough to learn from a famous doctor in the south, and she would never come to the north in her life. She would not prescribe medicine easily, as long as she had a reputation.
I wonder if she's afraid that if she becomes too famous, she won't be able to protect herself and will be forced to undergo medical treatment.
People with terminal illnesses who are on the verge of death are easily plunged into darkness when they see a glimmer of hope.
"Go and investigate what Ling Yunjue and Nian Mufeng are doing." Ye Zhaoyu felt that Ling Yunjue and Nian Mufeng were acting strangely. They didn't come up to talk to her when they ran into her on the road, but instead ran away guiltily.
I wonder what wrong thing they did!
