Seeing Liu Qingyi's indignant expression, Ye Feng's lips curled up slightly, and he teased, "Oh, so the beautiful Liu is so sensible, standing up for my godmother?"
Liu Qingyi rolled her eyes at him, "I just feel that we can't let such wicked relatives take advantage of us!"
Ye Feng sighed, "I can't decide this. My adoptive father values brotherhood the most, and my godmother doesn't want to fall out over this."
Liu Qingyi suddenly realized.
So that's how it is. No wonder his second uncle kept coming to make trouble.
At this moment, the eldest brother pushed open the ward door and poked his head out, "Xiaofeng, Mom wants you to come in."
Ye Feng patted Liu Qingyi's hand and gave her a reassuring look, "It's okay, you wait for me here."
He turned and walked into the ward, gently closing the door behind him.
Liu Qingyi stared at the closed hospital room door, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
Inside the ward, Aunt Xiong pointed to the agreement spread out on the hospital bed and said calmly, "The eastern half of the house is for your eldest brother. The other half was originally supposed to be for you, but now your cousin is getting married and there's not enough space, so you'll have to give it up for now. Consider it my fault."
Uncle Er urged impatiently from the side, "Xiao Feng, don't hesitate, sign the papers, and Uncle Er will give you a car worth 100,000 yuan in the future!"
Just then, the ward door was suddenly pushed open.
Liu Qingyi stood at the door, her tone firm: "Ye Feng, you cannot sign this!"
Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and turned their gazes toward Liu Qingyi at the door.
Silence.
The second uncle was the first to react. He narrowed his eyes, looked Liu Qingyi up and down, and said in an unfriendly tone, "Miss, you've come to the wrong room, haven't you?"
Ignoring her second uncle's questions, Liu Qingyi walked straight to Ye Feng's side and emphasized again, "I didn't go to the wrong place. He can't sign this."
Uncle was stunned for several seconds before he came to his senses and pointed at Liu Qingyi, asking, "Who are you? Why won't you let me sign?"
He looked Liu Qingyi up and down again. Her fashionable clothes and elegant demeanor made him suspicious.
Who is this woman?
He doesn't look like an ordinary person.
Liu Qingyi did not respond to her second uncle, but turned to look at her godmother on the hospital bed.
Although my godmother is old, her calm and composed demeanor remains undiminished.
Aunt Xiong was also sizing up Liu Qingyi.
She knew her godson had a girlfriend who was a doctor. Although she had never met her, Ye Feng cared a lot about this relationship.
But recently, he fell ill and was hospitalized, and his girlfriend has yet to show up. In her heart, Aunt Xiong vaguely guessed what was going on.
"Hello, I am Ye Feng's girlfriend, Liu Qingyi."
Seeing that Aunt Xiong remained silent, Liu Qingyi introduced herself in a poised and confident manner.
"I've been so busy with work these past few days that I only managed to find time to come over today."
Aunt Xiong nodded slightly in response, her attitude neither warm nor cold.
The ward fell silent immediately.
The eldest brother grinned foolishly, and when he saw his mother waving, he knew that this meant she approved.
It seems I'm quite satisfied with this girl.
The eldest sister-in-law, Li Mei, laughed so hard she was shaking.
Ever since she married into the Xiong family, she has harbored considerable resentment towards her second uncle's family.
Seeing Ye Feng bring back a girlfriend who looks very capable, he felt secretly pleased.
Ye Feng is the Xiong family's adopted son, and in the end, he is a member of the Xiong family. This is a blessing for the Xiong family!
"Oh my, this is Xiaofeng's girlfriend, she's really pretty!"
Li Mei greeted Liu Qingyi warmly, her tone tinged with smugness.
Ye Feng was completely bewildered, not understanding why his sister-in-law was suddenly so happy.
What's there to be happy about?
The second uncle looked unconvinced.
He originally thought Liu Qingyi was some kind of lawyer who had come to interfere in their family affairs, but he never expected her to be Ye Feng's girlfriend.
"Ahem..." Uncle coughed twice, breaking the silence in the ward. "Xiao Feng, since your girlfriend is here, hurry up and sign the papers. Don't waste everyone's time."
Liu Qingyi ignored her second uncle and stared firmly at Ye Feng, "You cannot sign this."
"Why...why won't you let me sign?"
The second uncle pointed at Liu Qingyi, his tone clearly hostile.
"Because I'm his girlfriend."
Second Uncle Ye Jianjun looked unconvinced, his eyebrows furrowed into a knot.
"Just because she's my girlfriend, she thinks she can interfere in our household chores?"
Xiong Qing sat to the side, his face gloomy.
Why is Ye Feng able to find such a beautiful girlfriend?
Xiong Qing's girlfriend, Xiao Lan, felt completely forgotten.
She yelled in a shrill voice, "Hey, how are we going to divide this house? Weren't we just talking about it? Why did you stop?"
My second uncle waved his hand impatiently, as if shooing away flies.
"Alright, alright, Xiaofeng, now that your girlfriend's here, hurry up and sign the papers. Let's go out and celebrate!"
Liu Qingyi ignored the chattering Xiao Lan and walked straight to the bedside, blocking Ye Feng's view.
"It's no use talking to him about this; you have to talk to me."
Uncle was stunned. "With you? Why with you?"
Liu Qingyi's expression was calm, but her tone left no room for doubt.
"Ye Feng said that from now on, I will make all the decisions regarding family matters."
My second uncle jumped up immediately, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Miss Liu, this is a matter for the Xiong family. What right do you, an outsider, have to interfere?"
Liu Qingyi raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "The Xiong family's affairs? How dare this young lady interfere?"
My second uncle was speechless for a long time.
The older brother watched in stunned silence, unable to get a word in edgewise.
Li Mei covered her mouth and chuckled to herself, secretly overjoyed.
Seeing Liu Qingyi's strong defense of him, Ye Feng felt a warm current surge in his heart.
Second Uncle Ye Jianjun's face flushed red as he angrily said, "This is different! Xiaoqing and she are discussing marriage! We are currently discussing their marriage, so of course she has the right to speak!"
How dare a little brat act so arrogantly in front of me?
"Oh, I see." Liu Qingyi nodded as if she suddenly understood, then took Ye Feng's arm affectionately. "What a coincidence, Ye Feng and I are also planning to get married. Second Uncle, do I have the right to interfere in this matter?"
The second uncle was stunned by this sudden turn of events, pointing at Liu Qingyi, speechless for a long time.
Seeing this, Xiaolan quickly chimed in, "Hey, I don't care about your affairs. What we're talking about now is Xiaoqing and my wedding room! Auntie has already agreed to it!"
Liu Qingyi turned to look at Xiao Lan, her tone calm: "Your wedding house is sorted out, but what about Ye Feng and me? Why should we let them have it?"
Xiao Lan was taken aback by the question and stammered, "That's different! Ye Feng is just an adopted son!"
“An adopted son is still a son,” Liu Qingyi interrupted her. “For so many years, who has been taking care of the Xiong family? Just because he’s not their biological son doesn’t mean we can erase his contributions.”
Xiaolan opened her mouth, but could no longer speak.
She never expected that this seemingly gentle and weak woman would speak so sharply.
