Chenchen complained that the cold was embarrassing, and scratched the back of her head.
"This is Mr. Jing's idea."
He didn't want to either, but Jing Chi made him do it, so he couldn't refuse.
"Daddy is so mean!" Chenchen stomped her foot.
Leng Yi smiled, took out her own toy and gave it to Chenchen, asking, "Do you want a younger brother or sister?"
Chenchen's eyes lit up, and she nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Now, Mom and Dad are going to have a younger brother or sister for Chenchen."
"Oh, I understand." Chenchen was overjoyed and finally gave Leng Yi a friendly look.
Inside the room, after a warm breeze and light rain, Jing Chi held Li Ying in his arms.
"Why would you ask your mother that?" Li Ying didn't quite understand Jing Chi's thought process.
"I think she gave me away not because I wasn't a member of the Jing family. On the contrary, it's possible that I was the eldest son of the Jing family, which is why she gave me away."
Jing Chi discovered a big secret from Tang Qiao's story: his mother, Tang Yu, might not have wanted to marry into the Jing family. She was only forced to stay away from the family because she was pregnant.
“I asked some elderly people who knew the Jing family. Back then, the eldest son of the Jing family was a womanizer who liked to visit brothels. Later, he got engaged to the Tang family. The woman he was engaged to was Tang Qiao. However, Tang Qiao was too old-fashioned and was definitely not the person he wanted. In addition, my mother, Tang Yu, returned from studying abroad. She was outgoing and fiery, which suited the eldest son of the Jing family’s taste. Perhaps, during their time together, the two of them had a relationship, which led to my birth.”
This is what Jing Chi currently considers the most reasonable excuse.
Tang Qiao's description of the eldest son of the Jing family was inaccurate because she didn't like to inquire about outside affairs, which led her to not know the eldest son's character.
"What you said is not impossible, so your mother has always hated the Jing family, which is why she reported the Jing family and caused them to get into trouble."
Jing Chi also felt that this was the only reason that could explain some of his mother's strange behavior.
"Wait a minute, something doesn't make sense here! If that's the case, you should be about a year older than Aunt Tang's child, so why would Aunt Tang have two children who are so much older than you?"
Jing Chi tapped Li Ying's forehead: "That's because Ye Chengyi is a second-time bride. Ye Wennian and Ye Wenchi have the same mother, while Ye Jingchi and Ye Zhonghong are Aunt Tang's biological children."
I see.
Li Ying said that something felt off, and it turned out to be this.
She also said that Tang Qiao had given birth to two sons, but because her own son was lost, she insisted on taking Ye Jingchi back to make up for it. The reason was that she was a second-time bride, and if she didn't have a son, Ye's grandmother would look down on her, so she did this.
"Now I understand what happened. Your mother gave birth to you but didn't want to see you, so she sent you to the Jing family in the capital. Meanwhile, Aunt Tang's son was taken away from the hospital, and she felt she couldn't explain it to her in-laws, so she took you from the Jing family in the capital back to the Ye family, and that's how you became Ye Jingchi."
That should be the case.
"So, your mother is also a victim?" Li Ying sat up and looked at Jing Chi. "Are you trying to excuse her?"
Jing Chi shook his head: "I'm just stating the facts."
Li Yingcai didn't believe he would really stick to the facts.
Even if that's the case, I won't laugh at you.
Jing Chi pulled Li Ying into his arms, looking down at the woman's beautiful features: "Yingying, let's do it again, okay?"
"Oh no, I'm tired."
Li Ying turned over to sleep, but Jing Chi pulled her into his arms and covered her with the blanket.
At the hospital, Leng Yan's condition improved slightly.
When Lu Yufei arrived, Leng Yan had already changed his clothes.
"You're still sick, why are you up?"
"I need to go back to see Aunt Jing." Leng Yan said, buttoning up his shirt.
Lu Yufei frowned deeply: "Leng Yan, what are you trying to do?"
Would he get so angry that he went to confront Aunt Jing?
Leng Yan glanced at Lu Yufei and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm going to see Aunt Jing to get the antidote."
"Antidote? The toxins in your body are already under control, why do you need an antidote?" Lu Yufei asked in surprise.
Leng Yan glanced at Lu Yufei. There shouldn't be anything messy going on in the Lu family, otherwise Lu Yufei wouldn't have asked this question so simply.
"My poison has been cured, but I can't let Aunt Jing know that my poison has been cured."
Lu Yufei instantly understood: "You want to bewitch her?"
“Yes, she can’t control Jing Chi, so she’ll try to control me. If she finds out that the poison in my body has been cured, she will try to poison me again. Therefore, I have to go back to get the antidote for her, so that she will feel that I have to listen to her in order to survive, and then she will be less wary of me.”
Lu Yufei still felt that this move was too risky.
“Leng Yan, you don’t have to worry about any of this. Leave the Jing family, and the doors of the Lu family will be open for you.”
Leng Yan stopped what he was doing and reached out to support Lu Yufei's shoulder.
"Do you think I'm taking this risk because I care about everything in the Jing family? You're wrong. What I want is my background."
"You suspect your origins, does Aunt Jing know?"
Leng Yan nodded emphatically: "These past few days I've gone through my entire life story, and I feel that Aunt Jing knows who I am. So I also want to know who I am, Lu Yufei, do you understand how I feel?"
He had struggled in this world for so many years, living a humble and lowly life like a dog, but he never gave up searching for his origins.
Lu Yufei understood his feelings and fully supported him: "Okay, since you've made up your mind, then do it. Regardless of whether Aunt Jing knows about your background or not, and regardless of what your background is like, Leng Yan, remember, I'm waiting for you."
Leng Yan hugged Lu Yufei tightly, extremely grateful: "Thank you, Lu Yufei. I, Leng Yan, keep my word. From now on, I am yours, and my life is yours."
Lu Yufei raised her hand and covered Leng Yan's mouth: "Don't say such discouraging things. We will definitely reach our own bright future."
Leng Yan lowered his head and kissed Lu Yufei's lips deeply. This happiness was something he had forced upon himself, and he would never give it up.
Leng Yan's car left the hospital and headed towards the Jing family's house.
The car stopped, and before Leng Yan got out, he deliberately cut his arm with a knife, then weakly walked to knock on the door.
"Mr. Leng?"
Xiao Hui rushed over to open the door.
"Is Aunt Jing here?" Leng Yan asked weakly, leaning against the door.
"Yes, Aunt Jing is in the study. I'll help you to see her."
Leng Yan let Xiao Hui help him upstairs to the study.
Aunt Jing opened her book and looked up at Leng Yan who had just walked in.
"Auntie," Leng Yan said, kneeling down on both knees, "I beg you, Auntie, to give me the antidote and save my life. I will repay you for saving my life."
Aunt Jing sneered: "Didn't Li Ying detoxify you?"
"Yes, but those won't work. I know only Auntie has the antidote. Please, Auntie, save my life!"
