Ye Linchen looked out the window.
Meng Xueyun was standing outside the door, holding the red thermos in one hand and knocking on the door with the other.
Her voice was exceptionally gentle: "Xiao Chen, open the door, it's Mom."
Meng Xueyun brought her food again.
Ye Linchen looked at her, feeling a surge of annoyance.
What's gotten into Meng Xueyun that makes her so obsessed with playing the role of a loving mother, and why does she have to come and annoy her every now and then?
Aunt Wang next door had seen Meng Xueyun come over quite often, but she always just watched coldly from the sidelines.
I couldn't resist anymore today, so I went outside and asked, "Little Ye's mom, are you bringing food again?"
Although Meng Xueyun particularly disliked her, she didn't show it on her face and smiled gently.
"Yes, today is Xiaochen's college entrance exam, so I specially made fish soup for her to help her brain function."
Aunt Wang didn't have a good impression of her before, but after so many days, she's been a little touched by her.
But when he thought about what his family had done to Ye Linchen in the past, his heart turned cold again.
That woman is very cunning; who knows what mischief she's up to this time?
Meng Xueyun called Ye Linchen for a long time, but when she saw that Ye Linchen ignored her, and the neighbors saw her delivering food, she realized that she had achieved her goal and stopped insisting. She just sighed sadly.
Through the door, she earnestly gave Ye Linchen her instructions.
"Xiao Chen, you must do well on the exam. Be careful, check your work several times after you're done, and don't make any careless mistakes. You must give it your best. Mom wishes you good results."
"Mom's leaving now, she won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, he nodded to Aunt Wang and said, "Sister, I'm leaving now. Please take good care of Xiao Chen for me."
Aunt Wang readily agreed.
"Don't worry, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. I love to meddle in other people's business. I will definitely help Xiao Ye if she needs anything."
Meng Xueyun recalled her previous attitude towards her family, forced a smile, said nothing more, and left.
After she left, Aunt Wang hurried to Ye Linchen's door and knocked on it.
"Xiao Ye, this is my Aunt Wang. Your mother has passed away."
Ye Linchen then opened the door and greeted her.
"Aunt Wang."
Aunt Wang is a kind-hearted person. She has helped Ye Linchen a lot while he was staying here, and Ye Linchen is very grateful to her.
Aunt Wang peeked out and asked, "You're down there? Your mom brought you some fish soup. Why don't you have some? Fish soup makes noodles especially delicious."
Ye Linchen didn't hide anything from her, saying while making noodles, "I wouldn't dare. What if she adds some seasoning to the soup and I can't take the exam?"
Aunt Wang was about to say it was impossible, but then she thought about how the Ye family treated Ye Linchen, which she had heard from others, and realized that her concerns were not unreasonable.
"Yes, yes, we need to be careful at this crucial moment."
Aunt Wang thought to herself, "That was close! I was trying to persuade Ye Linchen to accept the dishes Meng Xueyun brought."
Anyway, it's free money if you don't eat it.
"Do your best on the exam, Auntie is cheering you on."
Ye Linchen smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, Aunt Wang."
The following exams went smoothly and were completed very easily.
The next morning, after finishing the exam, Ye Linchen ran into Feng Linlin from the next exam room as she walked out of the exam room.
Feng Linlin ran over and took her arm: "How was it? How did the exam go?"
"Not bad, how about you?"
"I feel great, it's all stuff we reviewed."
The two talked as they walked out.
Feng Linlin said mysteriously to Ye Linchen, "I have some news, do you want to hear it?"
"Speak quickly if you have something to say."
Feng Linlin raised her eyebrows meaningfully.
"Didn't you notice that someone was missing from today's exam?"
"Someone's missing? Who?"
"you guess."
Ye Linchen tapped her.
"Stop being mysterious and just say what you have to say. I don't want to waste my brains guessing."
Feng Linlin is no longer a mystery; she reveals the answer directly.
"Your dear cousin Meng Zihan."
Ye Linchen turned his head and looked around.
Really!
She ran into Meng Zihan both yesterday morning and afternoon after finishing her exams.
Meng Zihan stared at her with a sinister look in his eyes, clearly harboring ill intentions.
I didn't see her today.
"She didn't come to the exam?"
"I knew you hadn't heard. Let me tell you, the Ye family ate something yesterday, and the whole family got food poisoning. They're all in the hospital. Meng Zihan probably won't be able to get out of bed today and didn't come to the exam!"
"Food poisoning?" Ye Linchen asked in surprise.
With the college entrance examination being so important, families with students taking the exam will be especially careful about their diet these days.
The teacher repeatedly emphasized what foods should not be eaten before the exam. Meng Xueyun cares so much about Meng Zihan, how could she make such a big mistake?
She suddenly remembered the fish soup that Meng Xueyun had brought yesterday.
"Could there be something wrong with the fish soup?"
"What kind of fish soup?" Feng Linlin asked hurriedly.
"Yesterday, Meng Xueyun brought me some fish soup again, but I didn't open the door. She called for a long time, then took it back untouched. Could it be that she took it home and gave it to her family, which caused food poisoning?"
"She brought you fish soup again? She's really persistent this time, trying to win you over."
After saying that, Feng Linlin realized something was wrong.
"That doesn't make sense. If there really was something wrong with the fish soup, why would she bring it back for her family to drink?"
Ye Linchen narrowed his eyes and guessed, "What if she doesn't know?"
Feng Linlin's eyes widened suddenly.
"You mean someone added something to the fish soup without your mother knowing, and after you brought it over, she took it back for the rest of the family to drink because you didn't drink it?"
"That's my opinion, otherwise it doesn't make sense. She's been a housewife for so many years, how could she not know what foods she can't eat?"
"Now that you mention it, I think you're right. My mom copied down all the foods the teacher said were best avoided, and you never see them in the house. Your mom is definitely even more careful than mine."
"If someone really wanted to add something, it could only be your dear cousin trying to harm you. Now, she's tried to harm others but has ended up harming herself instead."
Feng Linlin gloated smugly.
That's what Ye Linchen thinks.
Meng Zihan's scores improved in several mock exams in a row, and she was very proud, declaring that she would make a big splash in the college entrance examination.
Now that he's died before he even got started, will he hate Meng Xueyun to death when he finds out that she ate the fish soup with the spiked sauce?
Ye Linchen only thought about it briefly before dismissing it from his mind.
"Whatever their reasons are, it's none of our business. Don't get distracted, focus on preparing for the upcoming exam. Your goals are quite high."
Feng Linlin applied to study clinical medicine at Jiangcheng Medical University.
After graduation, you can directly enter the affiliated hospital of Jiangcheng Medical University as a doctor.
This major is very competitive and has high admission scores, so Feng Linlin really can't take it lightly.
Reminded by Ye Linchen, Feng Linlin immediately put aside the Ye family's affairs and quickened her pace with Ye Linchen as they walked home.
However, she couldn't help but ask Ye Linchen.
"Do you think Meng Zihan will come this afternoon?"
Ye Linchen shook his head: "Who knows? I'm not interested in her affairs."
