The girl's smile was perfect, and her voice was clear, sweet, and very charming.
She was very poised and generous, perhaps too poised and generous, giving the impression that she was part of the Li Qirui family.
This feeling made Li Qicheng inexplicably uncomfortable. He frowned slightly, but quickly concealed his true emotions.
He smiled slightly and asked, "And who is this?"
"She is my cousin Gao Kexin from my aunt's side. She has been staying by my mother's side to take care of her during this time."
Li Muchen introduced the situation, then couldn't help but mutter, "Unlike some people, since my mother's accident, the number of times they've come to visit her can be counted on one hand."
The "certain people" that Li Muchen mentioned were the Sanfang family.
In his view, Liang Xunling's predicament was inextricably linked to Xiao Xinyan.
Therefore, the culprit should atone for his sins!
Li Qicheng ignored Li Muchen's mutterings, nodded and smiled at Gao Kexin, and said politely:
"Hello, thank you for staying at the hospital to take care of my sister-in-law. Our Li family will remember your kindness."
His words were clearly loaded with meaning, intended to remind Gao Kexin that she was not a member of the Li family, so she should try to mind her own business as little as possible, and was not even qualified to do so.
No matter how bad Li Muchen is, he is still a child of the Li family, and it is not up to outsiders to educate him.
Seemingly sensing Li Qicheng's displeasure, Gao Kexin's eyes flashed with timidity and panic, and she hurriedly explained:
"Third Uncle, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to interfere in your family's affairs. I just felt that my brother's attitude just now was really impolite, so I couldn't help but say something to him."
“His mother is my aunt, and my mother is his aunt. I have always felt that we are a very close family. I have always regarded myself as his older sister and him as my younger brother.”
It seems natural for an older sister to take care of her younger brother.
Upon hearing her words, Li Qicheng narrowed his eyes slightly, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.
This girl, who looked only in her teens, was far more cunning than he had imagined, and she saw right through his thoughts.
His ability to read people's minds is top-notch.
Li Muchen, a simple-minded person, can only be led around by her and easily controlled.
Sure enough, upon hearing Gao Kexin's aggrieved words, Li Muchen immediately began to protect her.
"Third Uncle, my cousin didn't do anything wrong, you can't target her!"
Li Muchen stepped in front of Gao Kexin, shielding her behind him, and said to Li Qicheng:
"My cousin and I are siblings, so it's only natural for her to take care of me. No one has the right to object, not even my uncle!"
As he spoke, he held his head high and puffed out his chest, looking every bit the man, as if he thought he looked very handsome.
Li Qicheng gave him a deep look and felt that the child was beyond saving. He had no cunning at all and would probably be selling someone out in the future and would even be counting the money for them.
He was even laughing and joking, like a complete idiot.
“Little brother, don’t talk to your third uncle like that. You two are the real family.” Gao Kexin patted Li Muchen’s shoulder as if she were very understanding and advised him.
"Hmph! What do you mean by 'a real family'? I've figured it out now. Only those who are good to me are my family."
Li Muchen said meaningfully that he now has a lot of opinions about his third uncle's family.
He seemed to have forgotten his maternal grandparents' attitude towards his mother, and even more so, he had forgotten why his maternal grandparents had exploited his mother in that way.
He completely disregarded his maternal grandparents' blatant favoritism towards his aunt.
He took Gao Kexin's hand and walked out of the ward.
He even said to Li Qicheng, "If you've finished looking after my mother, Third Uncle, please leave. Don't stay here and disturb her rest!"
"..."
Li Qicheng's face instantly turned ashen. If it weren't for the fact that he was his elder brother's biological son, he really would have wanted to hit him.
If it were the fourth son of the Li family present at this moment, he would definitely have already punched Li Muchen.
On the other hand, Xiao Xinyan's observation period for the vaccine has ended, and no adverse reactions have occurred.
Zhong Jingyi packed her things and then took Xiao Yanbao's hand to leave.
"Yanbao, be good. Wait here for Mommy. I'm going to the bathroom and I'll be right back."
Zhong Jingyi gave Xiao Yanbao some instructions and prepared to go into the bathroom. She couldn't help but turn back and say to her daughter again:
"You must stay here obediently and not run around!"
"Don't worry, Mom. Yan Yan won't run around. Yan Yan will just stand here and wait for Mom to come out."
The little one responded very obediently to his mother, then stood there quietly and began counting.
Because Zhong Jingyi had told her before that her mother would not leave her side under normal circumstances, unless there were some unavoidable circumstances that would force her to leave temporarily, she would count the numbers, and when she counted to about one hundred, her mother would come back.
She had just counted to ten when she saw a familiar figure.
"Second brother!"
The little boy excitedly called out to that familiar figure, his voice innocent, carefree, and pure.
Despite Li Muchen's consistently poor attitude towards her, she still treated him like an older brother.
Because her eldest brother had told her more than once that her second brother only treated her that way because he misunderstood her. If the misunderstanding was cleared up, her second brother would definitely treat his younger sister very well.
