"Impossible!" Aunt Hua simply couldn't accept this fact.
"Madam!" Aunt Zhang from the Hua family rushed over: "Miss Xing'er has fainted! You must go back and check on her!"
Aunt Hua didn't care about anything else and walked away.
Hua Qingqing said apologetically, "Yingying, I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have let you go to the Hua family and caused all this trouble."
"It's not your fault, I was just being nosy."
If she hadn't treated Xing'er, this farce wouldn't have happened.
Hua Qingqing glanced at Ye Jingchi: "Honestly, you don't take good care of your wife, why are you going to investigate for no reason?"
Ye Jingchi shrugged: "Those weren't what I investigated. They were statements taken from several gamblers Tong Danian arrested before. I didn't expect to find so much."
"Alright, you stay here and keep Yingying company. I'm going back. Ye Jingchi, Yingying is far from home, so you must take good care of her!" Hua Qingqing gave these instructions before leaving.
Ye Jingchi sat down and reached out to shake Li Ying's hand: "Are you alright?"
"It's alright, Hua Qingqing is just making a fuss. I'm a doctor myself, I know my own body very well, there's no need to worry too much. It's just that Zhou Qi might be in a bit of trouble."
“Zhou Qi? I’ll have Tong Danian keep an eye on him.”
For dinner, Aunt Yang specially stewed a dish that Shanghainese people love to drink: pickled bamboo shoots and pork soup.
"Aunt Yang, where did you get these fresh bamboo shoots?"
"These bamboo shoots are pickled by me. They don't taste as good as fresh bamboo shoots, but they're pretty much the same."
"It's delicious, Aunt Yang, thank you so much for your thoughtfulness."
“Miss Ying, look at what you’re saying. In my eyes, you’re almost like my daughter. You haven’t treated me like an outsider either. I’m happy to take care of you and serve you,” Aunt Yang said from the bottom of her heart.
Li Ying was still a little unaccustomed to this kind of emotional appeal and continued drinking her soup.
After dinner, Aunt Yang went home, while Ye Jingchi stayed at the hospital to keep Li Ying company.
Li Ying wanted to go out for a walk.
"Ye Jingchi, help me go for a walk."
"good."
Ye Jingchi helped Li Ying out of the ward.
The obstetrics and gynecology ward was full of women waiting to give birth. The entire corridor was filled with the sounds of women sobbing in pain and babies crying.
There were also some impatient reprimands from men.
"Come on, the doctor said walking around is good for labor. Look how lazy you are!"
"My mother wasn't this dramatic when she gave birth to me. The midwife delivered me at home. You, on the other hand, are making a fuss about coming to the hospital?"
Li Ying couldn't stand this kind of man's voice, so she said to Ye Jingchi, "Let's go for a walk outside."
"good."
Once outside the obstetrics and gynecology department, the hospital courtyard became much quieter, and a gentle evening breeze carried a cool feeling.
"Please take a seat in the front."
Li Ying pointed to the pavilion in front of her and said.
Ye Jingchi did not object and helped Li Ying walk towards the pavilion.
"Third Uncle!"
Dangdang ran over and hugged Ye Jingchi's leg, looking up at him and sobbing. Ye Zhonghong was standing not far away.
Ye Jingchi glanced down at Dangdang, "What's wrong? Why are you crying like this?"
"Third Uncle, Mom is sick and in the hospital. The doctor said it will cost a lot of money," Dangdang said, sobbing.
Ye Jingchi frowned: "Your father's compensation money was all given to your mother, and she has money."
Unable to bear it any longer, Ye Zhonghong stepped forward, her attitude not daring to be too forceful: "Third Brother, are you really not allowed to see any members of the Ye family now?"
"No!" Ye Jingchi answered without hesitation, his gaze sharp and devoid of warmth.
"Third Uncle, don't you want Dangdang anymore? Dangdang is very well-behaved. After Third Aunt gives birth to her younger brother, Dangdang can help take care of him. Why don't you go back to the Ye family?" Dangdang pleaded desperately.
Ye Jingchi frowned in annoyance and looked at Ye Zhonghong: "What did I say before that the Ye family should not bother Li Ying and me in the future? Did you ignore my words?"
When Ye Zhonghong saw Ye Jingchi, she thought that they were all family after all, so she asked Dangdang to come and beg Ye Jingchi to come home. She didn't expect Ye Jingchi to be so cold-blooded and ruthless, not giving her any face at all.
"Ye Jingchi, even if you're not a child of the Ye family, the Ye family has raised you for so many years! Now that the Ye family has fallen on hard times, the whole family is supported by your sister-in-law. She's fallen ill, and you can't even go to see her. What kind of person are you?" Ye Zhonghong shouted angrily, unable to bear it any longer.
Ye Jingchi's face was cold: "Ye Zhonghong, I won't waste any more words. Take Dangdang and leave immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Ye Zhonghong was genuinely afraid of Ye Jingchi, so she could only grab Dangdang and storm off in a huff.
Ye Jingchi glanced at Li Ying and smiled, "My performance was alright, wasn't it?"
Li Ying pursed her lips: "Ye Jingchi, you're just making me a target of hatred."
Are you scared?
Li Ying shook her head: "Afraid? Will the Ye family stop bullying me just because I'm afraid? Or will they respect me because I'm obedient and well-behaved? I'm not afraid. I just think your sister-in-law is quite interesting. She clearly likes you and wants to be with you, but she always hides it and refuses to make it clear."
Ye Jingchi pinched Li Ying's palm.
"Do you really think I'm universally loved and adored by everyone?"
Ye Jingchi didn't think so. He believed that his sister-in-law Chunxue wanted to marry him not because she loved him, but because she couldn't give up the wealth and status she was forced to have.
She took her child back to her parents' home, but her parents' home wouldn't accept her, so she would definitely remarry. However, she would never marry a regimental commander with a high position and high allowance like him. That's why his sister-in-law was so unwilling to remarry, using her forbearing personality to gain sympathy and want the promise from the Ye family.
However, she did not expect that she would disobey her parents' orders. She was anxious and helpless, so she used Ye Zhonghong as a pawn.
Li Ying nodded slightly: "You have a very clear understanding of yourself."
"It's too late, let's go back." Ye Jingchi helped Li Ying out of the pavilion and back to the ward.
Just as she arrived at the ward door, Aunt Hua ran over crying and knelt down in front of Li Ying with a thud.
"Li Ying, I beg you, please save my daughter! Qingqing said that only you can save Xing'er!"
Li Ying took a step back, her expression calm: "Aunt Hua, it's too late. I can't save her now."
"Impossible! You can definitely save my daughter! I've contacted Old Chen and the others, and they said there's hope if I talk to you." Aunt Hua pleaded.
“Your daughter’s illness is emotional, and only a mental illness can cure it. You should know what to do to save her. Coming to me is useless.” Li Ying said all she wanted to say, believing that Aunt Hua understood what she meant.
Aunt Hua understood what Li Ying meant: if Xing'er could get a divorce, perhaps Xing'er's illness would be cured.
But what about the Hua family's reputation?
Hua Qingqing's divorce was a special case, but Xing'er's divorce would be ridiculed. No, she couldn't let her daughter's divorce ruin the Hua family's reputation and bring negative impact to her son, Hua Zhen.
This Li Ying claims to be a miracle doctor, but she's a fake doctor who doesn't live up to her name. She doesn't treat people, but instead advises them to get divorced. It's ridiculous!
