Li Ying led Jing Chi out of the clinic, unaware that Leng Yan was smoking next to a car parked not far away.
He gazed intently at the two people walking away side by side, exhaled a puff of smoke, and remained composed.
"Mr. Leng, is Young Master Jing deliberately going against you? You want to pursue Li Ying, and he's coming to pursue her too. What does that mean?"
"Do you believe in destiny?" Leng Yan asked abruptly.
Ah Hu asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"It means that two people destined to be together cannot be separated no matter how hard you try!"
He only proposed to Li Ying because of Aunt Jing's request. At first, he didn't understand Aunt Jing's meaning, but now he does. Aunt Jing didn't want her son to be coveted by Li Ying.
But only Aunt Jing herself knows the real reason.
Leng Yan's words were somewhat mysterious, and Ah Hu couldn't understand them, so he scratched his head.
"By the way, Mr. Leng, Lu Yufei went to the machine factory again today. It seems she's determined to get it."
Leng Yan's eyes darkened: "Let's go to the machine factory!"
The two got into the car and set off towards the machine factory.
Li Ying and Jing Chi came to find Tang Shimu and learned that the book was given to him by their master, Master Qian.
"I was the first disciple to formally become a disciple, and my master said he would give me a big gift, so he gave me this book. But there are many things in this book that I don't understand, so it's just been sitting on the bookshelf and I haven't opened it. Junior sister, can you understand this book?"
Tang Shimu was very surprised. It seemed that his junior sister's abilities far surpassed his own, as she was able to understand such a difficult and obscure book.
"Besides giving you this book, has your master said anything else?"
Tang Shimu thought about it carefully and shook his head: "There's nothing special about it. It just made me understand that I am a doctor. Doctors have the heart of parents. I should practice medicine and save lives."
Li Ying gripped the book in her hand tightly. If that's the case, then the person hiding in the shadows making poison and harming people wasn't her master.
"Junior sister, you seem very nervous about this book?"
"I just felt this book was a bit strange, so I came to ask my senior brother. By the way, has Master contacted you recently?"
To unlock the secrets of this book, you must find the master.
Tang Shimu thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook his head: "You know Master's temper. He's always been like this when he takes on disciples. Once the skills are passed down, he won't care about anything else. That's why he hasn't contacted me all these years!"
That's true, her master doesn't contact her either.
Therefore, finding her wandering master is harder than climbing to heaven.
"Thank you, Senior Brother, I understand."
Li Ying thanked her senior brother.
"Junior Sister, I've selected a few locations, can you take a look?" Tang Shimu told his mother about his ideas as soon as he returned, and then selected a few places for Li Ying to advise.
Li Ying looked around and pointed to a spot: "This is the most suitable place to rent a shop and open a clothing store."
The location that Li Ying chose for her senior brother will be a prime spot in the future.
I don't know how much it would cost to rent it now, but in the early 1980s it probably wouldn't have cost much.
"Okay, I'll go ask about the house prices tomorrow."
"You're opening a shop?" Jing Chi interjected.
Tang Shimu nodded, feeling quite ashamed: "My mind is no longer on medicine, so I have to find another way out."
“That works too. This place is on the Jing family’s territory. If you’re interested, come find me.”
Li Ying turned to look at Jing Chi.
Just how much wealth does the Jing family have? How come everything belongs to them? Does this whole area of the East District belong to them?
Seeing Li Ying's confusion, Jing Chi touched his nose: "Half of this area in the East District belongs to the Jing family."
Li Ying was completely devastated; poverty had indeed limited her imagination.
"What kind of eyesight do you have? This area in the East District isn't the whole of Shanghai. If I were to take over management, I guarantee I'd buy up all the docks in Shanghai!" Jing Chi boasted shamelessly.
Li Ying truly admired the business acumen of these people; they could talk about half of Shanghai in a single sentence.
"They're gone."
Jing Chi immediately followed Li Ying, walking beside her at a distance, his eyes fixed on her. He accidentally missed a step and almost fell.
Li Ying subconsciously reached out and grabbed him, meeting his deeply affectionate eyes.
Those eyes, that gaze—Li Ying had been looked at like that before, only that person was Ye Jingchi.
Li Ying released Jing Chi, withdrew her hand, and turned to walk quickly forward.
"Wait for me!"
Chu Yiyi, hiding behind a big tree, punched the tree trunk hard.
Li Ying caused her to lose her father, the protection of the Chu family, and even stole the man she loved most.
Damn it!
It wasn't until the family had dinner together over the weekend that Li Ying learned Jing Yingyan had returned to the capital.
"Jing Yingyan left without saying a word?" Sang Zhi complained.
Li Ting glanced at Sang Zhi: "Didn't I tell you?"
Sang Zhi gave Li Ting a very unfriendly look: "Why should he tell me that? He wants to pursue Yingying now."
Li Ting's expression darkened: "Sang Zhi, you can't just say things like that. It's bad for my sister's reputation."
Li Ying was so focused on feeding Chenchen that she didn't hear what everyone was saying. When she realized they were talking about her, she asked, "What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing," Li Ting stopped Sang Zhi, not letting her say anything more.
"Your father hasn't come back yet, and I wonder what happened at the factory this time?" Yang Mei asked anxiously.
Li Ting knew: "During this period, both the Lu family and the Jing family wanted to acquire the machinery factory in its entirety, but they probably couldn't reach an agreement."
Li Ying then remembered that she hadn't seen Leng Yan recently.
That guy is probably arguing with Lu Yufei about the acquisition.
Li Dongguo returned with his briefcase, his face ashen.
"Dad, is it about the machinery factory? How did it go?" Li Ting asked.
Li Dongguo put down his briefcase and sat down: "The Lu family and the Jing family are still fighting over ownership of the factory. The factory is also wavering, not daring to offend either side. It's a difficult situation."
“The Jing family owns half of the assets in the East District, so I’m afraid the Lu family will have a hard time.” Li Ying thought of the wealthy and powerful Jing Chi and felt that the Lu family’s chances of winning were very slim.
"The Lu family has the financial resources of half of Shanghai's economy, which the Jing family can't compare to. But the Leng Yan family's ruthless methods are what's causing everyone to hesitate."
It turns out that the Lu family's strength far surpasses that of the Jing family, while the Jing family relies on Leng Yan's infamous reputation!
"Let's eat. Don't bring factory matters home anymore. It's a headache just listening to them." Yang Mei disliked these kinds of arguments the most.
"The eldest son's family hasn't returned?"
"I've gone back to my parents' home."
Lee Dong-guk sat down. "Let's eat, let's not talk about unhappy things."
After the meal, Yang Mei invited Li Ying to stay, and Sang Zhi also stayed.
The moonlight was soft. After coaxing Chenchen to sleep, Li Ying got up and went out. She heard Sang Zhi and Li Ting talking in the courtyard, so she quickly went back to her room and lay down.
It's best not to disturb them at this time!
