"Rong Ning, calm down!" Li Ying reached for a letter on her person and said loudly, "This is a letter from Lu Xingzhou to me. Don't you want to know what's in it?"
In a single sentence, Rong Ning stopped her madness, her eyes fixed on the letter in Li Ying's hand, her lips trembling violently, something shattering in her eyes.
What she thought was true love turned out to be a joke.
"He actually wrote you a letter?" Rong Ning was furious.
"Rong Ning, you thought you'd found true love, but it's all a deception. Lu Xingzhou doesn't love anyone—not me, not you. All he cares about is his future. Otherwise, he wouldn't be begging for my forgiveness. Is it worth it for a man like that?"
Rong Ning shook her head blankly, then roared, "You don't understand! You don't understand at all! You followed Lu Xingzhou back to the Lu family for three years, why didn't you warm his heart? It's because you don't understand love. Only I understand him, and I'm willing to do anything for him, even make mistakes. Because I love him!"
"But what did you get in return for your love? Rong Ning, the greatest tragedy for a woman is to place all her hopes on a man. You've always been smarter than me since you were little, and you were better at studying than me, but why did things turn out this way? It's because you fell in love with someone who doesn't love you at all. A person who truly loves you will never let you become a disappointment."
"You're talking nonsense!" Rong Ning roared, and as she was about to pinch the child again, Li Ying tried to get up. A figure rushed over quickly, snatched the child away, and kicked her during the struggle. Rong Ning lost control of her body and fell backward. The safety railing on the roof was too low to stop her, and Rong Ning fell down.
“Chenchen…”
Li Ying seemed to have all her strength drained away; her face was deathly pale as she struggled to get up a few times but couldn't.
Jing Yingyan hurried over, carrying the child.
"The child's face is ashen; he must have been pinched just now. We need to take him to the doctor immediately!"
Give me the child!
The doctor nearby quickly took the child, examined him, and performed artificial respiration.
"Wow……"
The little one burst into tears.
"Okay, okay, it's alright!"
The doctors and nurses all breathed a sigh of relief.
The moment Li Ying heard that the child was alright, she collapsed to the ground, and Jing Yingyan quickly reached out to support her.
When Li Ying woke up, the baby was in the crib, sleeping soundly.
“The child is fine. I have already spoken to Tong Danian and asked him to send people to protect you and your child.”
Li Ying looked at Jing Yingyan; he hadn't seen him for a while, and his face had darkened.
"Thank you for saving Chenchen just now."
"It's my fault for coming back late; otherwise, this wouldn't have happened." Jing Yingyan felt very guilty.
Li Ying shook her head: "This has nothing to do with you."
Jing Yingyan hesitated for a long time before finally asking, "Li Ying, if I'm willing to take care of you and your child, will you agree?"
He had asked this question before, and asking it again now makes him seem even more difficult.
“Jing Yingyan, I know you want to take care of us, that you pity us, that you feel sorry for us, but this is a lifelong commitment. Don’t make any promises based on mere enthusiasm.”
Li Ying felt that she was not suited for dating, let alone love. She hadn't even processed Ye Jingchi's love, so how could she possibly get involved with someone else?
Life doesn't necessarily require a man; she can take good care of and raise the child.
Jing Yingyan gave a bitter smile: "I understand."
Li Ying didn't want to stay in the hospital anymore; she wanted to be discharged.
Lu Qingzhu agreed and processed Li Ying's discharge from the hospital.
Lu Qingwan moved directly to the courtyard house to accompany Li Ying during her postpartum period.
Hua Qingqing also wanted to move in with us, and the courtyard house suddenly became lively again.
Lu Qingwan got up early to clean the yard. A man slipped into the yard. He was wearing a baseball cap with the brim pulled low, a mask over his mouth, and his all-black clothes made him look quite frightening.
Before Lu Qingwan could say anything, the other person lowered his voice and said, "I am Zhou Qi's friend. Next week, he will be executed by the gang leader."
After the man finished speaking, he turned to leave.
Lu Qingwan reacted quickly, grabbing the other person and demanding, "Who are you? Why are you telling me all this?"
The man shook off Lu Qingwan and stretched out his arm. There was a scar on his arm, which was the gang's insignia.
"I'm a member of the gang and Zhou Qi's best friend. If you want to save him, hurry up, or you'll be collecting his corpse!"
After saying that, he left quickly.
Lu Qingwan was stunned. It took her a while to react before the other person had already walked away.
Unable to determine whether it was true or not, Lu Qingwan recounted what had just happened.
“Zhou Qi confessed his identity before; he is indeed from Jiangcheng’s gang. His sudden disappearance must be related to Jiangcheng’s gang. Qingwan, we need to marry Jiangcheng!”
"No!" Hua Qingqing disagreed. "Yingying, you're still in your postpartum period, and the people in Jiangcheng are not to be trifled with. You can't mess with them."
After thinking it over, Lu Qingwan agreed: "Sister Yingying, you should stay at home. I'll go find my brother and ask him to rescue Zhou Qi."
“It’s no use if your brother goes, I have to go.” Li Ying said firmly, “Think about it, they captured Zhou Qi, why didn’t they kill him? Instead, they waited until I gave birth before sending someone to tip us off? They just wanted me to go over there.”
Hua gently refuted Li Ying's statement: "Yingying, you have no grudges against Jiangcheng's gang, so why would they do this?"
Li Ying didn't know why the Jiangcheng group wanted to do this, but she was certain that they wanted her to go to Jiangcheng.
“Zhou Qi and I met by chance, but he is an upright man and loyal to me. I can’t just stand by and watch him die. Since they want me to go to Jiangcheng, I’ll go.”
Li Ying was adamant; she couldn't let anyone die because of her.
Hearing that Li Ying was going to Jiangcheng, Jing Yingyan came looking for her.
"You're going to Jiangcheng?"
“Yes, Zhou Qi was taken away by a group of people. They want to kill him, and I want to go and save him,” Li Ying said seriously.
"What if this is a trap?" The more Jing Yingyan learned, the more he realized how dangerous Li Ying's situation was.
"A trap?" Li Ying stared into Jing Yingyan's eyes. "Do you know something?"
"I don't know anything, Li Ying. You may be very capable, but you're just an ordinary person. Do you really have the ability to save people? You can be a hero, but first assess your own strength. Acting impulsively is not advisable!"
Jing Yingyan didn't want her to take any risks.
Li Ying smiled lightly, "I wouldn't take any risks. Don't worry, I've found a talisman, everything will be fine."
"Since you insist on going, please promise me one thing: let me go with you. Otherwise, I will never agree to let you take this risk!" Jing Yingyan clenched his fists. He couldn't let anything happen to Li Ying and the child.
