Li Ying specially put on makeup and a makeover for the banquet hosted by Hua Qingqing.
Ye Jingchi wore the military uniform he usually wore when he wasn't training.
When the two arrived at the Hua family's house, there were already many people in the living room.
Li Ying found it quite strange that Nan Shiran was among them.
Most of the others were relatives and friends of the Hua family, but the Ye family was excluded and none of them were invited.
"Yingying".
Today, Hua Qingqing wore a simple cheongsam and had her hair styled in a beautiful updo, making her look even more ethereal.
"Ms. Hua, you're still so beautiful!" Li Ying complimented.
Hua gently poked Li Ying's forehead: "You're nothing compared to Yingying. You promised to raise the child with me alone, so how did you end up with that guy again?"
Li Ying smiled lightly, pursing her lips: "He and I are just roommates, not really lovers."
"Then why don't you team up with me? I'm much more well-behaved than him. Did you see that Nan Shiran? She's been paying attention to Ye Jingchi ever since she arrived. I don't think she has any good intentions!" Hua Qingqing was really angry.
It wasn't that my cousin Hua Zhen had lost his mind, but he actually invited this kind of person over.
She didn't know her at all.
Li Ying knew that the banquet was hosted by Hua Qingqing, but she was sure that the Hua family would also offer advice on the invitation process.
Grandma Hua saw Li Ying from afar and waved for her to come over.
Hua gently led Li Ying to Grandma Hua's side.
"Grandma Hua".
"Yingying, your life hasn't been peaceful lately! I've heard everything. I think you and Ye Jingchi are incompatible, your horoscopes clash. Otherwise, you wouldn't always have all sorts of problems. Why don't you dump him and come with my grandson?" Grandma Hua was trying to persuade Li Ying to join the Hua family.
Hua chuckled softly, "Grandma, didn't you read Chen Yue's letter? He said he found like-minded comrades in the countryside. It's a bit much that you want to pair him up with Li Ying."
Grandma Hua glared at Hua Qingqing.
Ye Jingchi wasn't used to crowded places, so he found a quiet spot to have a smoke.
Just as he put the cigarette in his mouth, Nan Shiran came over gracefully.
Upon seeing Nan Shiran, Ye Jingchi turned to leave.
"Ye Jingchi, you should know how much longer you have to live?" Nan Shiran said coldly.
"It's none of your business!"
"Ye Jingchi, when a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. If you die, your wife will be someone else's wife, and your child will only call someone else 'Dad.'" Nan Shiran's tone contained a hint of threat.
"so what?"
Ye Jingchi raised an eyebrow.
Nan Shiran took a step closer, raised an eyebrow and smiled charmingly: "Only by cooperating with me can you survive."
Ye Jingchi took a step back, creating some distance, and a cold smile appeared on his lips: "Nan Shiran, do you think I'm afraid of death?"
"Of course you're not afraid of death, but aren't you afraid that after you die, your wife will remarry and your son will go with someone else?"
It's the same old routine.
Ye Jingchi sneered: "Li Ying will not remarry."
He believed that Li Ying would never like anyone else again; she had sealed her heart and locked away her love, so even if he died, he had nothing to worry about.
Hua Zhen walked over, holding a wine glass.
"Miss Nan knows Commander Ye?"
Nan Shiran said brightly, "We met once."
"He's a strange person, sometimes good and sometimes bad." Hua Zhen couldn't understand these things either.
"That's because he's been poisoned, with a very difficult-to-cure poison. That's why his temperament fluctuates," Nan Shiran thought to herself.
"Oh, but it's alright. His wife, Li Ying, is Qian Lao's apprentice and a medical expert. I think she can cure Ye Jingchi." Hua Zhen had witnessed Li Ying's medical skills and admired them greatly.
Nan Shiran frowned slightly as she sipped her drink.
Does Li Ying really have such abilities?
How is that possible?
Looking across the entire country of China, only the Nan family, and only Nan Shiran, can cure the poison.
Hua gently pulled Li Ying aside and whispered something.
"lightly."
The two looked up, and Hua Qingqing's aunt walked over and looked at Li Ying: "Is Li Ying the miracle doctor who cured Chen Yue's illness?"
Li Ying smiled and said, "You flatter me. I only have a little knowledge of medicine."
Hua Qingqing quickly introduced, "This is my aunt."
She is Hua Zhen's mother.
"Hello, Auntie." Li Ying greeted her politely.
Aunt Hua suddenly sobbed, "Li Ying, could you please take a look at my daughter? She's been losing her appetite lately, and she seems completely out of it. It's so worrying."
"Aunt, Xing'er seems fine to me. Is she sick?" Hua Qingqing didn't think there was anything wrong with Xing'er, but she seemed a little down, probably because of the miscarriage.
"At first, I thought she had miscarried and was in a bad mood, which is why she couldn't eat or drink. But at night, she would talk nonsense, all sorts of incoherent things, which was really scary." Aunt Hua wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Li Ying turned her head and glanced at Hua Qingqing: "Then let's go take a look."
Hua Qingqing is the main character of today's banquet and cannot leave, so Li Ying can only go with Aunt Hua to see Xing'er.
Li Ying followed Aunt Hua away from the bustling crowd and into another courtyard.
The courtyard was small, with a flowering tree planted in it. A slender girl sat under the tree, holding a flower branch in her hand, her eyes vacant and blank. She absentmindedly tugged at the petals in her hand, muttering to herself.
“That’s my daughter Xing’er. She had a miscarriage a few days ago. After I brought her home, she became like this.” Aunt Hua started crying again as she spoke.
"Judging from this condition, it appears that the heart meridian is damaged."
Like Shi Bai's mother, she had lost all will to live.
Those who are determined to live are easier to heal, but those who have lost their will to live are harder to save.
"Aunt Hua, I may not be able to cure her."
Li Ying, I'm sorry.
"You were able to save Chen Yue, so why can't you save Xing'er?" Aunt Hua questioned.
Hua Chenyue had been bedridden for over a year, and Li Ying was able to save her, but not her daughter.
“Aunt Hua, to be honest, Hua Chenyue still has the will to live, but your daughter Xing’er has no desire to live anymore.”
Aunt Hua didn't believe it: "Nonsense! You're talking complete nonsense! My daughter is perfectly fine. She's just depressed because of the miscarriage. How can you be so sure she had no will to live? I think you're just a fame-seeker!"
Aunt Hua got angrier and angrier as she talked, completely ignoring the approaching crowd.
Grandma Hua led everyone to admire the flowers and plants in her home. When they arrived, they heard Aunt Hua questioning Li Ying.
Hua Qingqing hurriedly stepped forward: "Aunt, why are you so angry?"
"Qingqing, do you know what Li Ying said about your cousin? She actually said your cousin had no will to live? In this world, everyone wants to live, who wants to die? I think she's just talking nonsense!"
Hua glanced at Xing'er under the flowering tree, then looked at Li Ying: "Are you sure my cousin doesn't want to live?"
"I'm sure, she'll only have about half a month at most."
As soon as Li Ying finished speaking, Aunt Hua raised her hand in a fit of rage and slapped her.
