When Li Ying returned from her senior brother's house, she saw Leng Yan's car parked at the entrance of the alley and hurried over.
"Leng Yan, could you please send a few people to take care of my senior brother's family?"
Li Ying was worried about retaliation from the Chu family.
Leng Yan's eyes were deep and calm: "This matter has caused quite a stir in the city. The Chu family will not do anything out of line at this critical juncture."
"Who can say for sure? What if the Chu family resorts to any means necessary and kills my senior brother and aunt? Even if the truth comes out then, what's the point?"
Leng Yan pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and raised his hand to call Ah Hu: "Send a few people to protect Dr. Tang and his mother. There can be no mistakes!"
"Yes, Master Leng."
Ah Hu immediately went to do his work.
"Now you can rest assured."
I owe you a favor. Don't hesitate to ask if you ever need anything in the future.
Leng Yan brandished the cigarette case in his hand: "Then date me!"
Li Ying was stunned and speechless.
"Leng Yan, I don't know what misconception I gave you that made you think I was in love with you?"
Leng Yan curled his lips: "Li Ying, there are many things in this world that are beyond our control. You can't just do whatever you want. Take your senior brother, for example. Even though he has unparalleled medical skills, he can't protect his wife and son. Do you understand what I mean?"
Li Ying could see a hint of helplessness in Leng Yan's cold eyes.
He's a cold-hearted person by nature, so he shouldn't be capable of feelings. Therefore, his request must be a task, a task imposed on him by someone else.
"Leng Yan, let's be honest. Tell me, is someone trying to get close to me and pursue me?"
Leng Yan knew that Li Ying wasn't stupid; she must have realized it a long time ago, since he hadn't shown any affection for her.
"Understand?"
Li Ying sighed: "Logically speaking, I should help you with this. You've gone to such lengths to help me, so I have no reason to refuse. But Leng Yan, these kinds of things are different."
Are you afraid of public opinion?
Li Ying laughed: "If I were afraid of public opinion, I wouldn't have broken up with Lu Xingzhou and married Ye Jingchi instead. Public opinion doesn't mean anything to me. But feelings are what matter! I just want to live comfortably and follow my own feelings. So Leng Yan, I can't help you with this."
She would do anything for him, but when it comes to dating, she absolutely refuses.
Leng Yan pondered for a second, then nodded: "I understand."
In just one week, the truth about Tang Shimu's wife and children was revealed. It turned out that after the mistress died while pregnant, the head of the Chu family felt that Tang Shimu had not done his job properly. So he hired someone to pretend to be a thug and harass Tang Shimu's wife, and then killed her. He didn't even spare the four-year-old child.
The father of the Chu family was put on trial, and the Chu family was taken over by the second branch of the family.
Chu Yiyi went from being a pampered young lady to an orphan with no one to love her, and could only turn to Aunt Jing for help.
"Aunt Jing, you must accept me as your daughter-in-law! I am the daughter-in-law you value most!"
Aunt Jing sipped her tea and said to Chu Yiyi, "I valued you before because I thought your Chu family were decent people. But I never expected the Chu family to do such a horrific thing. If we continue to form a marriage alliance with the Chu family, I'm afraid it won't be good for the Jing family either."
As expected, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; Chu Yiyi's father was arrested, and she couldn't even save her marriage.
"Aunt Jing, please have pity on me, I beg you!"
Chu Yiyi knelt on the ground, pleading desperately.
"Yiyi, you're making things difficult for me. We're just a widow and her child, and we originally hoped to rely on the Chu family to establish ourselves in Shanghai. It's really not that your aunt is heartless that this happened."
reject!
An undisguised rejection!
Chu Yiyi walked out of the Jing family home dejectedly, clenching her fists.
Looking up, he saw Li Ying carrying a medical kit and following Jing Chi into the Jing family home, his eyes filled with resentment.
"Li Ying, it's all your fault! If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened to my Chu family! I hate you!"
Li Ying followed Jing Chi into the courtyard and went straight into the living room.
"Mom, I've invited Dr. Li."
After Jing Chi finished speaking, he turned to look at Li Ying, making no attempt to hide the admiration and respect in his eyes.
"cough!"
Aunt Jing, holding her chest, said to Jing Chi, "You can go out now. Let Li Ying take my pulse."
"good."
Jing Chi happily turned and left.
"Xiao Hui, pour some tea."
Aunt Jing instructed Xiao Hui to pour tea, then leaned back on the sofa, gazing intently at Li Ying.
Li Ying knew that Aunt Jing hadn't invited her here for a medical consultation, but rather to discuss something.
"Aunt Jing, please speak frankly."
“Leng Yan is my adopted son. Although he’s not my biological son, I treat him as my own and value him very much. He said he admired you, so I agreed. I didn’t expect you to reject him?” Aunt Jing’s disdainful look made people furious.
It seems that Li Ying has no choice but to accept Leng Yan's marriage proposal, otherwise she would be considered ungrateful.
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Aunt Jing. Leng Yan is very good, but as you know, my husband has just died, and it is impossible for me to remarry."
Aunt Jing sat up straight, her expression now tinged with mockery.
"So, you're saying you won't accept marriage proposals from anyone?"
"Aunt Jing, I have no intention of remarrying. My husband can only be Ye Jingchi!" Li Ying vowed.
Aunt Jing said "Oh," and sighed, "It's hard to believe you're so devoted. Your husband seems very lucky. Since you've said that, I won't say anything more. I'll tell Ayan to tone it down later."
"Thank you, Aunt Jing. My clinic is very busy, so I won't stay any longer."
Li Ying turned and walked out of the living room.
Jing Chi was leaning against a pear tree in the yard when he saw Li Ying. He quickly sat up and ran to Li Ying.
What did your mom say to you?
"Young Master Jing, if you're so eager to know, you can ask your mother."
After Li Ying finished speaking, she didn't give Jing Chi a chance to think further and strode away.
Back home, Li Ying was still pondering Aunt Jing's meaning.
She seemed to really want to be with Leng Yan.
Is she afraid that I like her son?
Did I make myself too obvious, giving her this wrong impression?
It doesn't matter, as long as Leng Yan doesn't send any more gifts or say anything inappropriate, we can still be friends.
"Yingying, Senior Brother is here."
Li Ying hurriedly got up to greet her.
Tang Shimu was dressed in a black Zhongshan suit, looking old-fashioned and depressed.
"Senior Brother," Li Ying said, gesturing for Tang Shimu to sit down. "I know you are a very skilled doctor, and I would like to invite you to practice medicine at my clinic. What do you say?"
Tang Shimu shook his head and held out his hand: "Look at this hand, can it still be used to be a doctor?"
Li Ying then noticed that Tang Shimu's hands were trembling slightly.
"What are you doing...?"
“After Qing’er and Wenwen had their accident, I became like this. My hands trembled uncontrollably, and I haven’t recovered since then.”
Muscle tremors are caused by sympathetic nerve excitation resulting from excessive sadness and anger.
Strictly speaking, it's a psychological illness. If you can't overcome it, you can't get acupuncture or see a doctor.
