Everyone left, leaving only Li Ying and Aunt Jing in the room.
Li Ying sat quietly with a calm expression. When she didn't know what the other person wanted to say to her, she usually chose to remain silent.
What do you think of my family's cold banquet?
Aunt Jing picked up the teacup beside her, slowly sipped her tea, and asked the question leisurely.
"I don't understand what Aunt Jing means?" Li Ying looked at the woman in front of her with shallow eyes, her face showing signs of illness.
"Leng Yan's wedding was canceled because Lu Ningyun had an affair and became pregnant out of wedlock. Over the years, I've been trying to find a suitable match for Ayan, but this child just has bad luck, with one accident after another. But I feel that he treats you somewhat differently."
Li Ying found it amusing; how could she have noticed that Leng Yan's icy demeanor was different towards her?
"Aunt Jing, I'm already married."
Aunt Jing smiled gently, "I know, but didn't your husband pass away? It's not easy for you to raise the child alone. Ya Ru has mentioned you to me many times, saying you're strong and remarkable. I admire your qualities! Although Ayan isn't my biological son, I treat him like my own. What do you think?"
Li Ying was speechless.
This woman is far too confident, playing matchmaker for others.
“Aunt Jing, you may have misunderstood something. Leng Yan and I met by chance and are not familiar with each other, so what you just said was just your own opinion. Please forgive me for not being able to grant your request.”
Li Ying paused for a moment, then added, "If Aunt Jing's health is not seriously compromised, I don't think I will come to the Jing family again."
After saying that, he turned and went downstairs.
Ya Ru came up to her: "Ying Ying, what did your aunt say to you?"
Li Ying looked up at Leng Yan, who was talking to guests in the living room, and smiled: "Your cousin acted as matchmaker, arranging for me to marry Leng Yan."
"What?" Ya Ru was stunned.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not staying with you anymore. Chenchen is still at home. I'm going back first." Li Ying didn't give Ya Ru a chance to say anything more and strode away.
Li Ying naturally did not attend the banquet the next day.
She decided that she would no longer have any dealings with the Jing family.
At noon, Mr. Lu personally brought gifts to thank Li Ying, and Lu Yufei came with him.
Li Ying didn't have a good impression of this family either. She maintained a facade of peace and dismissed them with a few casual words.
Old Master Lu noticed Li Ying's growing distance and was puzzled. After learning the details, he summoned Lu Yufei to his study and gave him a severe scolding.
"Grandpa always taught you not to underestimate anyone, but you just wouldn't listen! Because of Ningyun's matter, you even tried to frame Li Ying. The way you do things is becoming more and more like the mafia!"
"Grandpa is right. I'll remember this and never make the same mistake again!"
"No matter what, you must build a good relationship with Li Ying and try to get her closer to our Lu family. Her medical skills were taught by Master Qian, and she has even surpassed him. It's best not to offend someone like that."
"Grandpa, I've got it."
Lu Yu respected his grandfather very much and prepared generous gifts to apologize at the clinic.
Unfortunately, the cold banquet was also there.
"Manager Leng is here too?" Lu Yufei glanced at Leng Yan expressionlessly.
"I never expected Miss Lu to come to the clinic in person to apologize." Leng Yan's words were anything but pleasant.
"It was my fault that I took my anger out on Dr. Li Ying because of my sister's situation, and I have come here specifically to apologize."
A mocking smile flickered across Leng Yan's lips.
"It really is like the sun rising in the west."
Lu Yufei glanced coldly at Leng Yan and had the gifts moved into the courtyard.
Li Ying looked at the gifts in the yard and smiled at Lu Yufei.
"Miss Lu, what do you mean by this?"
"I learned my lesson yesterday, and I've come today to ask Dr. Li Ying for forgiveness for my past mistakes." Lu Yufei spoke respectfully, leaving no room for argument.
"Miss Lu, there's no need for that. Your grandfather already sent the reward yesterday. Please take these things back with you!"
"If you don't accept it, my grandfather will definitely not let me off the hook."
"What does this have to do with me?" Li Ying said arrogantly, with great disdain.
Li Ying hates this kind of underhanded tactic of giving a slap followed by a sweet treat the most.
Lu Yufei could only leave dejectedly with her belongings.
"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to disrespect Miss Lu like this?"
"If Manager Leng has nothing else, please leave. This is a clinic, not a mahjong parlor!" Li Ying said, walking out of the courtyard and leaving Leng Yan standing there alone.
Leng Yan's lips twitched slightly, and a hint of amusement appeared in his usually cold eyes.
"What a boring woman!"
The clinic sees dozens of patients every day, and Li Ying is so busy seeing patients that she has no time to deal with these things.
"Yingying!"
When Sang Zhi returned with the medicine, she pulled Li Ying into the yard and took out the newspaper: "Look, isn't this Ye Jingchi?"
Li Ying glanced at the newspaper, which reported the extraordinary story of the Jing family finding their heir.
"no."
"Why not? Look at those eyes, nose, and other facial features..."
Although Sang Zhi hadn't had much contact with Ye Jingchi, she was certain that the person in the newspaper was Ye Jingchi!
“Sang Zhi, have you forgotten? Ye Jingchi is no longer here.”
Sang Zhi was still puzzled: "Why would there be two people who look exactly alike? And when Ye Jingchi's body was retrieved, his face was completely unrecognizable with anger. Maybe it's not him?"
Li Ying laughed: "What kind of ridiculous drama have you been watching? People can't come back to life. This person is the heir that the Jing family found, not Ye Jingchi."
Are you so sure?
"Of course I'm sure. I've seen him at the Jing family's house. Apart from looking somewhat like Ye Jingchi, his personality is nothing like hers. So he's not Ye Jingchi. Don't overthink it."
Sang Zhi said dejectedly, "I thought Chenchen had a father, but it turns out he doesn't. Could it be that he has amnesia?"
Didn't Ye Jingchi pretend to have amnesia before?
"Sang Zhi, I don't think you're suited to be a doctor. You're suited to be an author, with such a rich imagination! Okay, let's stop thinking about these impossible things and focus on living our lives well."
After comforting Sang Zhi, Li Ying returned to the clinic in front.
The clinic was empty of patients, but now there was an extra person in the room.
Jing Chi's snow-white suit made him look exceptionally dazzling.
Li Ying was momentarily dazed, but she became even more aware that the person in front of her was not Ye Jingchi.
"Young Master Jing!"
Jing Chi was inspecting the clinic when he heard the sound, turned around, and looked Li Ying up and down.
This woman is very beautiful, but a bit aloof.
"Are you the doctor at this clinic?"
"It's me, Young Master Jing. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Faced with this face that looked exactly like Ye Jingchi's, Li Ying lost her previous excitement and instead felt a sense of disgust.
It's a waste of talent for Ye Jingchi to have his face on someone like that.
"I am hereby formally informing you that from today onwards, I am the landlord here, and all future rent payments for your clinic will be made to me."
As expected, what was bound to happen has happened. As soon as Young Master Jing returned, he began to seize power from Leng Yan.
