"Ah Li, what brings you here?"
Li Xueqing had just woken up from her afternoon nap when she saw Ye Li striding in. Her face immediately lit up with a smile. "Aren't you having class this afternoon?"
"I don't have classes this afternoon, so I'll come and keep you company."
Seeing her mother's smiling face, Ye Li felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
She blinked to extinguish the tears, then stepped forward and took the hot towel from Aunt Lan's hand to wipe her hands.
Li Xueqing smiled and playfully complained, "Mom just didn't sleep well, it's not like I'm disabled, Mom can do it myself!"
Pointing to the fruit plate next to her for Ye Li to eat, Li Xueqing turned back to urge Aunt Lan, "Sister Lan, go ask the doctor when I can be discharged from the hospital?"
"Okay, okay... I'll go ask right away."
Aunt Lan glanced at Ye Li with a troubled expression, then turned and went outside.
Ye Li felt a dull ache in her chest.
My mother is in a hurry to be discharged from the hospital.
Returning home would easily remind her of her loved ones, which wouldn't be good for her recovery.
As for the sanatoriums that were originally planned to be inspected in the suburbs this week, Ye Li felt a strange sense of resistance when she thought of Fu Yanci.
"mom……"
Ye Li peeled a tangerine and handed it to Li Xueqing, then asked hesitantly, "Yesterday you told me to stay away from Fu Yanci, why was that?"
Mentioning Fu Yanci, Li Xueqing's smile vanished instantly. "Ali, how far have you progressed in your relationship with him? You can't be with him, Ali. Listen to your mother, stay away from him!"
Holding Ye Li's hand tightly, Li Xueqing looked at Ye Li anxiously.
Ye Li's heart sank little by little.
"Mom, don't worry..."
The oranges in their hands were crushed, and the juice trickled down their fingers, releasing a light orange scent into the air.
Ye Li quickly let go of her mother's hand, wiping her hands as she coaxed her, "I've already broken up with him, Mom. See, I've been a good girl."
"That's good, that's good..."
Li Xueqing sighed softly and leaned back against the pillow, frowning as she muttered, "Ali, when did you and him get together? Did you tell your mother? I have no recollection of it at all."
Ye Mushen is gentle, and Li Xueqing is tender.
Throughout Ye Li's life, the couple has never spoken a harsh word to her.
Whatever Ye Li wants to do, as long as she asks, Ye Mushen only has one thing to say: Do it! Dad supports you!
From the time Ali started elementary school, Li Xueqing often heard adults complaining to each other about how difficult teenagers were, or children secretly complaining that their menopausal mothers were ticking time bombs.
But in the Ye family, none of this ever happened.
Ye Li did not have a difficult adolescence.
Li Xueqing never lost her temper or went berserk.
Whether the company is doing well or not, how much income the family will have this month.
The couple would chat at the dinner table, never avoiding mentioning Ye Li.
Ye Li tells her parents everything, big or small, funny or embarrassing, in detail.
They are father and daughter, mother and daughter, and friends.
When they were little, Li Xueqing jokingly asked Ali if any boys were pursuing her.
The mother and daughter even sat up together and critiqued the love letters that had been slipped into her schoolbag at some unknown time.
The handwriting is too ugly, no way.
An unpleasant-sounding name is also unacceptable.
Those who are too bad at studying are even worse off.
Later, the Zhou family moved to the same villa area.
The two families got along well and often teased her and Zhou Hechen. The two children inexplicably became their childhood sweethearts.
But it was just a green plum.
In Li Xueqing's eyes, Zhou Hechen was not good enough for her Ali, so she was just joking.
As for Fu Yanci...
That Master Fu, whom everyone in the capital wants to curry favor with.
On one hand, she felt that only a man like that was worthy of her Ali and could protect Ali for a lifetime.
The thought of Ah Li standing with him made Li Xueqing's heart ache uncontrollably.
The voice of resistance in my heart shouted again: No, you can't!
“Ah Li, you are still young and don’t know how wicked people can be.”
Li Xueqing gently stroked Ye Li's hair and tenderly advised, "Your father and mother don't require a marriage between equals, and we don't want to climb the social ladder. Just find someone you like who likes you back, and date them for a while... Time will tell. Once you're both settled, then we can consider marriage, okay?"
Ye Li nodded obediently and drawled out her reply, "Okay..."
Just one heart, gently, slowly, endlessly falling downwards.
Aside from the part where Vicent and Zhou Hechen drugged her, Ye Li didn't tell her mother about anything else. She told her mother everything else when her mother asked.
During that time, my mother and Aunt Lan often scolded Zhou Hechen together.
Even if she says what day of the week it is tomorrow, her mother will drag Zhou Hechen out and scold him whenever she hears the word "week".
He was said to be unfaithful and fickle.
They said he lacked a sense of responsibility.
They say he lacks his own opinions and is a mama's boy.
Even so, after Zhou Hechen's relapse, his mother didn't say a single harsh word to him.
On the contrary, Fu Yanci, who is meticulous in everything he does and leaves no room for error, is viewed with such vigilance and caution by his mother, who fears that he might hurt her.
What exactly did Fu Yanci do?
Her temples were throbbing, and her mind was filled with a sharp, chaotic noise again. Ye Li took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
Aunt Lan returned, bringing medicine she had obtained from the nurse.
"Sister Lan, did you ask the doctor?"
"I asked... The doctor said that if you take your medicine and rest well, you can be discharged next week."
"Next week? Shen-ge will be back next week, right? If he sees me still in the hospital, he might think something serious has happened. No, no, I'll go ask the doctor myself, I'm all better!"
