The car sped towards the hospital.
When Fu Yanci got out of the car, he saw Ye Li and Qin Chu rushing over with angry expressions.
The last time at the hospital, Zhou Hechen took advantage of Li Xueqing's illness and her ignorance of Ye Li's annulment of their engagement, and subjected Ye Li to extreme coercion and humiliation.
First, it was Fu Minghui's birthday.
Then came Ye Mushen's funeral.
After that, neither Li Xueqing nor Ye Li ever mentioned the Zhou family again.
Thinking that they were all from wealthy families in the capital, they decided to stop interacting and let things fade away gradually, which would be the best way to save face for both sides.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Hechen still dared to come knocking on our door.
“Fu Yanci…”
Seeing the man's gloomy face, Ye Li stepped forward and took his hand. "Don't worry, I can handle it."
The girl's expression carried a hint of cautious guilt, as if she felt sorry that Li Xueqing had fallen ill and didn't remember that he was her son-in-law.
Fu Yanci's anger subsided by more than half in an instant.
"Hurry up and go up!"
Fu Yanci patted Ye Li's head. "I'll be right at the door. Call me if you need anything."
Ye Li nodded and pushed open the door to enter.
Zhou Hechen was sitting in a chair next to the hospital bed, peeling an apple in his hand.
Upon hearing the noise, Zhou Hechen instinctively turned around.
Their eyes met, and Zhou Hechen's previously animated expression suddenly froze.
The last time we met was on my mother Fu Minghui's birthday.
That day, Ye Li wore a red ankle-length dress, looking stunning, yet she seemed somewhat reserved.
At this moment, although it was still the same face, at first glance, it looked like a completely different person.
In just a few months, Ye Li, who used to be as pure and innocent as a white rose, seemed to have suddenly been dyed with bright colors and transformed into a passionate and sexy red rose.
The thought that he was the one who let go of her hand...
The thought that Ye Li's transformation was all thanks to Fu Yanci comes to mind.
Zhou Hechen gritted his teeth in hatred.
But in an instant, the thought of Li Xueqing being sick brought back memories of his last visit to the hospital.
Zhou Hechen felt a sense of relief.
Lin Kerou said that the time is ripe and it's harvest season.
In that case, he should at least show his face.
He'll be much more careful this time, since he messed up the last time.
"Aunt Ye, please have some fruit!"
Zhou Hechen handed the peeled apple to Li Xueqing, then stood up and walked to Ye Li, saying, "Happy birthday, Xiao Li!"
"If you've come to visit me in the hospital, then you've seen me and you can leave now! ...If you've come to wish me a happy birthday, no need, I don't need it!"
As she spoke in a deep voice, Ye Li stepped aside to make way for her.
The meaning of "expelling guests" is obvious.
Zhou Hechen smiled as his gaze swept over Ye Li's stunningly beautiful face, then turned to look at Li Xueqing, "Aunt Ye, look, Xiao Li is angry again."
From childhood to adulthood, every time this happened, whether it was Ye Mushen or Li Xueqing, they would laugh and tease him, "You must have upset her! She's your girlfriend, aren't you going to make up with her?"
When they got engaged at 18 and their girlfriends became their fiancées, they said these words even more naturally.
Zhou Hechen is all ready.
He would readily agree to whatever Li Xueqing asked.
Even if it's just causing Ye Li some trouble, it's still good.
Anyway, it won't be long before she falls into his hands.
At this moment, Ye Li disliked him even more.
The more fiercely they struggle and resist, the stronger they will become.
By then...
The thought of the spoiled and willful eldest daughter of the Ye family filled her eyes with tears. She cursed him with red eyes, but he held her captive, and she struggled until she was exhausted.
Until the very end, she whispered a prayer to him.
Just thinking about it made Zhou Hechen feel incredibly relieved.
Zhou Hechen had anticipated everything, but he hadn't expected Li Xueqing to act unpredictably.
She wore a gentle smile, but it was much fainter than before.
Li Xueqing looked at Zhou Hechen and said, "Since you know it's Xiaoli's birthday, you shouldn't have provoked her. You should go back quickly and thank your mother for me! I'll invite her over to play cards after I'm discharged from the hospital."
Zhou Hechen was taken aback.
The fleeting excitement I had been imagining was instantly extinguished.
A flash of malice crossed Zhou Hechen's eyes, and he smiled, "Aunt Ye, my mom said that after all these years of being in-laws, she'll wait for her..."
"What did you say?"
Before Zhou Hechen could finish speaking, Li Xueqing interrupted him with a stern face, "Hechen, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! When did our Ye family become in-laws with your Zhou family?"
"My Ali has never said she likes you, so don't talk nonsense!"
Her disdain was almost undisguised as Li Xueqing looked at Zhou Hechen and said coldly, "Hechen, our two families have been neighbors for so many years, and your Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye have always treated you like a nephew. You can't possibly make a move on my Ali! ...When Ali looks for a boyfriend in the future, she'll definitely want someone handsome and kind to her, and you won't do!"
Zhou Hechen was stunned, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
During her previous episode, Li Xueqing didn't remember that Ye Mushen had died, and she was even more unaware that Ye Li had broken off their engagement. She held his hand and gave him one piece of advice after another, fearing that he might not treat Ye Li well.
This time, however, she even forgot about the engagement between the Zhou and Ye families.
Ironically, he couldn't even utter a single accusation that exposed the truth.
Ye Li was also stunned.
When the doctor said that her mother's condition was worse than before, she comforted herself that it was nothing serious.
Mom has simply returned to the time a year ago, the time when Dad passed away.
With her and Fu Yanci around, and Aunt Lan, Mom will receive meticulous care, and it doesn't matter if she never recovers.
