Ye Wennian felt strange after hearing his mother say that.
"Mom, Jing Chi is Aunt Jing's biological son. Wouldn't it be better for him to go back to his mother?"
“Your Aunt Jing is crazy. Do you think it’s good for Jing Chi to stay by her side?” Tang Qiao was still worried.
"Mom, let things take their natural course, we shouldn't interfere too much."
Ye Wennian didn't not want to get involved, but he had no right to do so. She was Jing Chi's own biological mother, and unless Jing Chi himself fought back, it wouldn't be good for anyone to interfere.
Besides, Aunt Jing is indeed a bit crazy, otherwise she wouldn't have adopted a dark-hearted Leng Yan as her godson, and wouldn't let her godson call her godmother, only aunt.
"Alright, Mom will listen to you."
"Mom, I have something else to tell you: our third son might not be dead."
Tang Qiao was both surprised and delighted upon hearing this. She grabbed Ye Wennian's wrist and choked out, "You mean your third brother isn't dead? He's still alive."
“I specifically looked it up. When you gave birth to your brother, the midwife said he was stillborn, but that wasn’t true. They just wanted to sell the baby.”
Tang Qiao was even more distressed: "My third son must have suffered a lot and endured a lot of pain."
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely find my third brother, and our family will be reunited."
Tang Qiao nodded hopefully.
Li Ying received an invitation from Tang Qiao early in the morning, asking her to bring Chenchen to their temporary residence for a meal.
Li Ying didn't want to go, but Ye Zhonghong personally invited her.
"Third Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I was so immature before. I won't do it again. Please forgive me." Ye Zhonghong seemed to have grown up overnight.
"Ye Zhonghong, I don't care whether you did it intentionally or unintentionally before, but remember, not every apology can be replaced by 'it's okay.' Your malice towards me has never been without reason, therefore, I do not accept your apology. Go back and tell Aunt Tang that from now on, I don't want to have any contact with the Ye family."
Ye Zhonghong was extremely frustrated, but dared not act recklessly again.
Upon exiting the building, he saw Leng Yan getting out of the car and walked over to him in a few steps.
"Mr. Leng, are you here to see my third sister-in-law?"
Leng Yan frowned slightly: "Your third sister-in-law? That one?"
"Li Ying." Ye Zhonghong shrank back somewhat fearfully.
The atmosphere at this banquet was so cold, it felt like it could snap her neck at any moment.
"Ye Jingchi is not a child of the Ye family, and Li Ying is not your third sister-in-law. Get that straight." Leng Yan said this and stepped into the clinic.
Ye Zhonghong was frustrated because she hadn't completed her task.
As they were leaving, a sack was suddenly put over their heads, followed by a beating.
When the burlap sack was taken down, Ye Zhonghong was bruised and swollen.
"I'm telling you, if you ever harass Li Ying again, I'll beat you up every time I see you!"
"Who are you? I don't know you," Ye Zhonghong asked, crying.
"I am Tang Long, and my sister is Li Ying's sister-in-law. I will be learning medicine from Li Ying in the future. I will be Li Ying's little apprentice. Do you hear me?" Tang Long kicked Ye Zhonghong hard, looking smug.
If Li Ying knew that she was helping her get revenge, she would definitely take her as her little apprentice.
Inside the clinic, two little boys stood in front of Li Ying, one eleven years old and the other thirteen, both very thin.
"One of them is called Leng Yi, and the other is called Leng Ci."
Li Ying sighed, "Why does it have to be the surname Leng?"
Leng Yan shrugged: "They are orphans, nameless and without surnames. When they came with me, I just gave them these names randomly. You see, are they suitable? If not, we'll find two more."
Li Ying called the two boys forward.
"Let me see your hands."
Leng Yi and Leng Ci stepped forward, extending their thin, withered hands, their palms bearing marks from gripping guns.
"You teach them how to shoot?"
“If you’re going to follow me, you’ll naturally need to know how to use a gun, but you can use a needle later.” Leng Yan sat down, waiting for Li Ying’s decision.
Li Ying carefully examined the two children. The young man looked very spirited, but she didn't know how intelligent he was.
"How about this, stay here first and familiarize yourself with the names of Chinese medicinal herbs. If you have a good memory, then you can stay."
"Thank you, Master!"
The two boys knelt on the ground to express their gratitude.
Li Ying waved her hand and told Sang Zhi to take them to familiarize themselves with the medicinal herbs.
The two boys followed Sang Zhi to do chores.
Li Ying looked at Leng Yan: "I didn't expect that Master Leng is actually quite kind-hearted."
Leng Yan glanced at Li Ying: "What, scared by my bad reputation? I just feel sorry for them. Seeing them reminds me of myself. People always have a sense of shared suffering. Don't you think so?"
Li Ying nodded approvingly: "Sometimes I feel that Master Leng is the real healer. We use medicine to save people, but Leng Yan saves people with his heart and actions."
These words touched Leng Yan deeply.
"Save people? No, I can't even save myself, so I've never thought about saving others. I'm keeping them alive because they're useful."
Li Ying rolled her eyes; this man really shouldn't be praised.
"Tell me, Master Leng is sending me two very good apprentices. What help do you need from me?"
"The Tang family is having a business banquet tomorrow, and I'd like to ask you to come with me. What do you say?"
Li Ying thought about it and agreed.
"Can."
Leng Yan stood up: "Then it's settled."
After Leng Yan left, Tang Long walked into the clinic with his hair styled in a mossy, waxed style.
"Li Ying, I heard you're going to take on apprentices, what do you think of me?"
Tang Long is a carefree and irresponsible person; he's completely unsuitable for studying medicine.
"You can't do it."
"No, why can't I? I just taught Ye Zhonghong a lesson for you, and beat her black and blue. I'll beat her every time I see her from now on. Isn't that enough loyalty?" Tang Long looked at Li Ying expectantly.
Li Ying remained unmoved: "My feud with Ye Zhonghong is none of a third party's business. If you want to teach her a lesson, I have plenty of ways to do it, not to let you beat her up. Tang Long, I've told you before, you're not suited to studying medicine. Go back to being your playboy."
Tang Long was surprised by Li Ying's stubbornness, stomped his foot angrily, and left.
The Jing family.
When Aunt Jing saw the notice announcing the cancellation of the engagement, she was so angry that she almost had a heart attack.
"Jing Chi, you're being ridiculous!"
"Mom, I agreed to get engaged to Tang You before because of the machinery factory. Now that the machinery factory has agreed to the Lu family's acquisition, our Jing family should stop causing trouble."
Aunt Jing sneered: "In the end, this is just a smokescreen you put on for me, isn't it?"
She desperately pulled her son back from the brink of death, but instead of being grateful for her maternal love, the boy conspired with outsiders to set her up.
"Mom, you understand many things in your heart."
Aunt Jing was furious: "I don't understand, what did I do that wasn't enough to make you treat me like this? I'm your mother, the one who carried you for ten months and gave birth to you!"
