Li Ying was intrigued by this and said, "Tell me about it."
Hua Qingqing had only heard about it occasionally from her grandmother.
"My grandma told me about this, but she's confused now and keeps repeating herself without coherent sentences. I don't know which parts are true and which are false. Anyway, she talks mostly about the Ye family and the Jing family, but I don't know if she's referring to the Jing family in the capital or the Jing family in Shanghai. But I think there's one thing that makes a lot of sense."
Hua Qingqing felt that as long as there was even a little bit of information, they should continue investigating.
“My grandma said that the Jing family in the capital and the Jing family in Shanghai had the same ancestor more than a hundred years ago. Later, due to certain events, they split up, and some members of the Jing family moved to Shanghai and became the Jing family in Shanghai. I haven’t verified this, so I don’t know if it’s true or not. My grandma also said that Jing Yingyan from the Jing family couldn’t possibly be a child of the Jing family in the capital, because according to Jing Yingyan’s age, he is too far from his older brothers. She suspects that Jing Yingyan and Ye Jingchi are twins.”
Li Ying listened in a daze; the story was quite fascinating.
"Go on."
Hua gently finished her sip of tea.
"My grandma also said that after the Jing family in Shanghai was purged, the eldest son of the Jing family was arrested. They said he was sick in prison, and then he was carried out. She said the illness was fake, and that the Jing family in the capital must have used their connections to get the eldest son out under the pretext of illness. Yingying, do you think that's possible? Anyway, my grandma said it in great detail, but if you ask her, she can't give a clear answer. She's really confused."
Li Ying thought about it carefully and said, "It might be true. The story of the eldest son of the Jing family in Shanghai is the same as the version I heard, but at that time, people in Shanghai said that the eldest son of the Jing family died of tuberculosis. Maybe this is Jin Chao's escape. To save his life, he can only escape by dying."
"Then we still have to wait for Ye Jingchi to come back and verify this matter?" Hua Qingqing was happy that she could help.
Li Ying smiled and said, "For Ye Jingchi, whether or not he finds his biological father is not important. Aunt Jing is reflecting on her actions in prison now. If that person really is the eldest son of the Jing family, he should go to see Aunt Jing."
Hua Qingqing shook her head: "Would you think about someone you hate?"
"Yes, I will. I will tell her that I am living a better life than her. That's a kind of revenge!" Li Ying said, reflecting the mindset of people today.
Hua Qingqing shook her head: "No, if it were me, I wouldn't go to see her, because the past is the past, she has already been punished, why should I go to see a down-on-her-luck person."
Hearing Hua Qingqing say this, Li Ying felt it made sense. Perhaps the young master of the Jing family had already undergone a complete transformation and forgotten about these things.
Some grudges are known only to those involved.
As I left the teahouse, I bumped into Leng Ci.
“Aunt Ying…” Leng Ci’s face flushed slightly.
Yan Liuli's face became even more unnatural upon seeing Li Ying. She naturally recognized Li Ying; she had seen her a few days ago when she went to see her mother. Although they hadn't greeted each other, Yan Liuli had a good memory and recognized her at a glance. She just didn't know if Li Ying had heard what they were saying, and she felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Miss Yan, right?"
Li Ying didn't want Leng Ci to go down the wrong path, so she got straight to the point: "If you like Leng Ci, then date him openly and honestly. If you're just using him for amusement, then please let him go."
Yan Liuli's face turned pale, and she clenched her small hands: "I don't know what you're talking about."
"I don't know what I'm saying. Do I need to explain myself?"
“Aunt Ying…” Leng Ci interrupted Li Ying, protecting Yan Liuli: “Don’t scare her, she’s timid.”
Li Ying glanced at Leng Ci, then said to Yan Liuli, "I know what you're thinking, so you'd better restrain yourself."
Yan Liuli glanced at Li Ying, then turned and left.
Leng Ci wanted to chase after her, but Hua Qingqing pulled him back.
"You silly child, your Aunt Ying is only doing this for your own good."
“Aunt Ying, I…” Leng Ci knew that Aunt Ying meant well, but how could one simply stop loving someone?
"Leng Ci, you'd better not date before you find your biological mother." This was the only thing Li Ying could tell him, because she suspected that Ah Feng might be Leng Ci's biological mother. If that was the case, then he couldn't like Yan Liuli.
Leng Ci lowered his head, nodding, but still felt a little awkward.
When Li Ying went to the Yan family again, she deliberately left Leng Ci's photo next to A Feng's bed.
"What is this?" Ah Feng asked, picking up the photo. He froze instantly, his eyes slowly welling up with tears.
"Mrs. Yan, do you know the person in the photo?" Li Ying pressed on, seizing the opportunity.
"Excuse me, I don't know him."
Mrs. Yan threw the photo at Li Ying, trying hard to control her emotions and wipe away her tears.
It's understandable that Li Ying would refuse to acknowledge the photo, given the harm Chen Chushen had caused her.
"Don't you recognize him? This is one of my apprentices. He's an orphan, kidnapped after birth and sold several times. Later, he followed Leng Yan and was named Leng Ci after Leng Yan. He's a very good and sensible child. Now he's following Master Xu from the forensic department, and he'll definitely become a legend in the forensic field in the future."
As Li Ying spoke, she observed Ah Feng's expressions and noticed that he was listening very attentively, as his lips trembled incessantly.
It's not that she doesn't love the child, it's that she can't face the child.
The betrayal by the man she loved deeply not only angered the man himself, but also the child who carried his blood. This was too painful for her; it was a tearing pain, more unbearable than not knowing Leng Ci existed.
Li Ying stopped and prescribed her a new prescription.
When Li Ying ran into Yan Liuli outside, Yan Liuli glared at her. She came inside to bring water to A Feng, and when she saw the photo in her mother's hand, Yan Liuli's expression changed drastically.
What is Li Ying doing? She actually went to her own mother and spread rumors about her. It's outrageous!
"mom……"
Ah Feng didn't say anything, only that, "Study hard and don't let your mind wander."
To Yan Liuli, these words were a veiled warning.
Yan Liuli was very angry and went to find Song Weidong that very night.
"Liuli, I've already told you, my feelings for you are the only ones I truly love. That Leng Ci is nothing. Don't let his good looks fool you, he's just a good-for-nothing."
Song Weidong is the young man who fought with Leng Ci last time.
"Did you know that Leng Ci has an aunt named Li Ying?" Yan Liuli asked with a charming smile.
"I know, she even pricked me with a needle last time, and it still hurts." Song Weidong felt a burning resentment thinking about how humiliating it was last time.
"Song Weidong, you said you like me, and I want to see how you behave. Help me find someone to teach that Li Ying a lesson; I want her to lose an arm," Yan Liuli said viciously.
Upon hearing this, Song Weidong hesitated, saying, "Isn't that inappropriate?"
This constitutes intentional assault.
"Look at the guts of you! You say you like me, but you don't even listen to me. What makes you say you like me?"
