Ye Xiaoxiao said in surprise, "Auntie, my sister just got divorced, are you going to arrange for her to go on blind dates with other men?"
"She's alone now, so why not get to know more about the young men from wealthy families, one by one? What's wrong with that?"
Ye Xiaoxiao fell silent. Her aunt was as domineering as ever.
Ye Xinning didn't say a word; she wouldn't go on blind dates, and she had absolutely no interest in meeting any rich young men.
...
We went back to the Ye family home for dinner, and everyone was there, including Huo Yanzhi and Huo Qijun.
Huo Qijun was still the same hypocrite. No matter how he tried to kill her outside, as long as she stepped into the Ye family's gate, Huo Qijun would treat her like a gentle and kind elder.
Ye Xinning had grown accustomed to his hypocrisy and didn't even glance at him. After entering the room, she lowered her head and played on her phone. Even so, Ye Xinning could still feel the intense gaze fixed on her.
Who else could it be but Huo Yanzhi? Ye Xinning simply chose to ignore him.
After having dinner at the Ye family home, Ye Xinning and Ye Rouxin chatted for a while. Midway through the conversation, Ye Rouxin asked a maid to go upstairs to get her medicine.
Ye Xinning watched her take her medicine and casually asked, "What kind of medicine is this?"
"Oh, take your heart medication," Ye Rouxin replied to Ye Xinning while taking her medicine.
Ye Xinning frowned. "Have you been eating the whole time?"
"Yes, Xia He got the medicine from the hospital for me, and the doctor said I need to keep taking it."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xinning paused in her actions. Holding her water glass, she looked at Yue Ye Rouxin and asked, "Did Xia He prescribe this medicine for you?"
"Um."
Ye Xinning's eyes were deep as she looked at the medicine. For some reason, she had a strange feeling in her heart.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Ye Rouxin turned her head to look at her when she saw that she hadn't spoken.
"It's nothing," Ye Xinning said casually, taking the medicine from Ye Rouxin's hand. "I'll take it up for you."
"There are servants here, so you don't need to run around."
"It's alright, I was just thinking of going upstairs to check on my room anyway."
"Okay, do you want me to come with you?"
"Need not."
...
After going upstairs, Ye Xinning placed the medicine on Ye Rouxin's bedside table and turned to go to her own bedroom, but she stopped halfway there.
She stood there in silence for a long time before turning around, opening the medicine bottle, and taking out a few pills to put in her pocket.
After leaving Ye Rouxin's room, Ye Xinning was about to go to her own bedroom to sit for a while when she saw Huo Yanzhi standing in the hallway.
"Why did it take you so long to get in?" Huo Yanzhi asked, his tone deep and unreadable.
"Is it interesting to follow me?" Ye Xinning raised his eyes, his gaze deep and full of sarcasm.
"What are you doing in there?" Huo Yanzhi pressed closer and asked again.
"Would you believe me if I said I didn't do anything?"
"You suspect there's something wrong with that medicine?"
Ye Xinning did not deny it this time. Huo Yanzhi was perceptive, and given Ye Rouxin's situation, she had no need to hide anything.
"What, are you scared?"
What am I afraid of?
"Since you brothers came to our Ye family, first it was me who encountered danger several times, and now it's my mother. What are the reasons for this? Huo Yanzhi, do you really think I would completely absolve you brothers of this responsibility?"
Huo Yanzhi stared intently at Ye Xinning. "I have never done anything to you or your mother. Everything I have done is just to get you."
"Irony! You made me miscarry, you made me lose the most important thing in my life. Isn't that what you did to me?" Ye Xinning crossed her arms, her eyes full of mockery.
“That child shouldn’t have been there at that time. I did all that for your own good.”
Is the so-called "doing it for her own good" really about taking away her child?
Ye Xinning spoke to Huo Yanzhi, her eyes devoid of any warmth, "I can't bear such kindness, Huo Yanzhi. I will investigate my mother's matter. If she only developed this illness due to stress, then everything is fine. But if I find out that this matter is related to you brothers, then I will make you pay the price you deserve."
After Ye Xinning finished speaking, he turned and left.
But she didn't notice that after she turned around, Huo Yanzhi's gaze became incredibly deep.
...
At the hospital.
Ye Xinning sat in his office, with Shen Nanxing sitting in front of him.
"Nanxing, could you please take a look and tell me what kind of medicine this is?"
Ye Xinning handed the medicine she had brought from the Ye family to Shen Nanxing. Shen Nanxing took it, glanced at it, and asked, "These are commonly used medications for treating heart conditions. What's wrong?"
When Ye Xinning heard Shen Nanxing say that this was just a common medicine for treating heart problems, she pursed her lips, her expression complicated. So, was she really overthinking it?
She lowered her head and said, "Yes, I understand. Thank you, Nanxing."
Shen Nanxing looked at the medicine in her hand, then brought it up to examine it closely. It would have been better if she hadn't looked at it; the moment she did, she noticed something different.
It looks similar, but there are subtle differences. The size of the particles and the smoothness of the surface seem to be different from the medicine she knows.
"Ningning, wait for me a moment, let me take another look."
After saying this, Shen Nanxing stared at the medicine for a long time before saying, "No, this is not medicine for treating the heart."
"Really not?"
"Okay, I'll have someone take it for testing right now."
"This is troublesome."
Ye Xinning waited at the hospital for the test results. Shen Nanxing looked at her with a serious expression, "Sister Ningning, this medicine contains a large amount of pemoline. Short-term use won't have any effect on the body, but long-term use..."
Ye Xinning's heart tightened. She looked at Shen Nanxing and said, "It's okay, Nanxing. Just tell me. I can accept anything."
"Long-term use can make people irritable or even irritable, and eventually they will be completely unable to control their emotions."
Ye Xinning clenched her hands at her sides and immediately understood what Shen Nanxing was saying.
Why does her mother always lose control of her emotions and hit her? Why does her relationship with her mother get worse and worse after she returns to Nancheng?
It turns out that medication has been controlling the condition all along.
Ye Xinning squinted, wondering who had switched the medicine and when she had started taking it.
Xia He was in charge of the medicine, so did she replace it?
Or was Xia He acting under someone else's orders? And who was that person behind her?
Ye Xinning couldn't understand the problem at all, and what her ultimate purpose was in drugging her mother.
She just couldn't understand this interconnected situation, no matter how hard she tried.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Nanxing."
Ye Xinning thanked Shen Nanxing and told him not to publicize the matter for the time being.
Although Shen Nanxing was curious about who was taking the medicine, she didn't ask any further questions since Ye Xinning wouldn't say.
Just after Ye Xinning left, the door to Shen Nanxing's office was pushed open again, and this time it was Shen Lin who walked in.
