Ye Jingchi gave a bitter smile: "Li Ying, do you really not miss the time we spent together at all?"
Li Ying's face was cold as she gazed at the lotus flowers in the lake. The lotus flowers were beautiful in the setting sun, but they also carried a hint of loneliness in the afterglow.
"Ye Jingchi, you should know that I am not a sentimental person, nor am I someone who likes to linger. I stayed in the Lu family for three years, but when I learned that Lu Xingzhou had betrayed me, I decided to cut my losses and leave the Lu family."
Li Ying turned her head and looked at Ye Jingchi with a light gaze: "Do you think I would be attached to anything for a marriage of convenience?"
Ye Jingchi's clenched hands trembled, his heart aching as if pierced by a thousand arrows, the pain convulsing and suffocating.
"But when we were together, you had feelings for me."
When he kisses her, she responds. Isn't that natural caress and kiss a sign of love?
"Ye Jingchi, don't make yourself look like a lovesick fool. Can you honestly say that your kiss wasn't just an instinctive need?"
Ye Jingchi's eyes flickered, something was weighing on his heart, something he couldn't shake off.
"I see."
After saying that, Ye Jingchi turned and left.
The setting sun cast its light on his lonely back, giving it a slightly broken look.
For the first time, Li Ying saw a sense of brokenness in a man, and her heart clenched for no reason.
Li Ying, feeling sorry for a man is the beginning of suffering. Lu Xingzhou has already wasted three years of your life. From now on, you should not be troubled by love, and you should not stop for any man.
At the hospital, Rong Ning successfully joined Academician Cao's research group. She overheard the group members talking about Li Ying and, unable to suppress her curiosity, listened in. She learned that Li Ying had been kicked out of the Ye family. Rong Ning was overjoyed and told Lu Xingzhou the news when she got home that night.
"You're saying Li Ying was kicked out of the Ye family?"
"Yes, I've already inquired, and that's exactly it! I thought Li Ying was so capable, leaving you to marry a battalion commander, hoping to use that to control you. I never expected it was a fake marriage. Now look what's happened, she's been kicked out by the Ye family. I really don't know how she'll survive in the future." Rong Ning couldn't help but feel gloating.
Lu Xingzhou fell into deep thought.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling sorry for me?" Rong Ning grabbed Lu Xingzhou's collar and cupped his face. "Lu Xingzhou, let me tell you, you can only belong to me for the rest of your life. If you dare to be fickle and fall in love with Li Ying again, I'll make a scene in your army and make sure you lose everything!" What Rong Ning feared most was Lu Xingzhou changing his mind.
This is happiness she has worked so hard for, and she absolutely cannot give it away.
"What are you thinking? I'm not that kind of person!" Lu Xingzhou pulled Rong Ning's hand away and stood up: "I'm going to see my son."
Rong Ning smiled. She and Lu Xingzhou had a son. Even if Li Ying and Ye Jingchi divorced, Lu Xingzhou would never go back to Li Ying.
She is the biggest winner.
"Li Ying, I'm the one who'll have the last laugh!"
The Jing family.
Li Ying came to give Jing Yingyan acupuncture as usual.
Noticing Jing Yingyan's observation, Li Ying looked up and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that, Mr. Jing?"
"See if you're sad."
Li Ying was speechless: "I thought Mr. Jing was a saint who didn't care about anything else, but it turns out you also like to listen to gossip?"
Jing Yingyan's lips twitched slightly: "I might not care about others, but you're different."
Li Ying paused in inserting the needle. She knew that Jing Yingyan didn't trust her and would definitely investigate her information, so he knew this.
"Mr. Jing has excellent taste!"
"Li Ying, do you think my leg will get better? Or do you think that if my leg gets better, I will drop the charges against Li Ting?"
Li Ying's eyes turned colder: "If Mr. Jing cannot drop the charges against my second brother, do you think I will let you leave the house?"
As their eyes met, flames seemed to vie for dominance, a fierce struggle.
Jing Yingyan's lips curled up. This woman really is...
"It's not worth risking your life for me."
“Mr. Jing is mistaken. I have plenty of ways to get out of this unscathed.” Li Ying took another needle and patiently began acupuncture.
This was the first time Jing Yingyan had encountered a woman who could be so arrogant and threatening.
After the needles were removed, Mrs. Jing brought out the ginseng soup she had prepared herself.
"Comrade Li Ying, this is ginseng soup I made this morning for Ying Yan. I made a little extra today, so you can have a bowl."
Li Ying smelled the ginseng and other precious medicinal herbs in the soup, so she couldn't refuse. She took the bowl and said thank you.
"If anyone should be thanking you, it should be me thanking you. You went to so much trouble to come and treat Yingyan's leg. You are a great benefactor to our Jing family. Our Jing family will never forget your kindness!" Mrs. Jing said, her eyes reddening.
Previously, Jing Yingyan was unwilling to have his legs treated and wouldn't let anyone near them. Mrs. Jing couldn't eat or sleep all day. Now, things are different. Yingyan agreed to let Li Ying treat his legs. Her usually taciturn son was even able to argue with Li Ying. This was unprecedented. Mrs. Jing felt that it was all thanks to Li Ying who brought this blessing.
While Li Ying was drinking soup, she inadvertently saw the wheelchair by Jing Yingyan's bedroom door and smiled.
"Mrs. Jing, you're too kind! Treating the sick and saving lives is my duty, and Mr. Jing's recovery just happened to be within my capabilities. And coincidentally, Mr. Jing is also a very good person!"
He's a really good person!
Jing Yingyan almost burst out laughing when he heard this comment.
From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever praised him. He was always the most ruthless fighter, never letting go until he drew blood.
Now that someone is actually saying he's a good person, even though he knows Li Ying has ulterior motives, Jing Yingyan still finds these words very pleasing to the ear.
After leaving the Jing family home, Li Ying carried her medical kit and walked out of the family compound.
A car was parked not far away; it was the one Hua Qingqing usually drove.
Li Ying walked quickly to the car, the door opened, and Hua Chenyue got out of the car.
"elder sister!"
Li Ying was still startled by Hua Chenyue's appearance. In just half a month, Hua Chenyue's face had been tanned dark by the sun, turning him from a pretty boy into an African lad.
"Sister, don't you like my skin color?" Hua Chenyue looked at Li Ying nervously.
"Hua Chenyue, you've only gotten a tan, but your brain still needs to go back to the west to herd horses!"
"Sister! I understand what you mean and I understand the meaning of life. I won't do anything drastic anymore. I will live a good life, thanks to your guidance."
Li Ying was exasperated. Did she understand?
It's clearly still the mindset of a child.
"Hua Chenyue, live well, not for anyone else, but for yourself."
“But isn’t it too selfish to live for yourself? Besides, can’t I live for my sister?” Hua Chenyue rushed back in a hurry after hearing that Li Ying had been kicked out of the Ye family.
He felt this was an opportunity given to him by God.
"My sister is such a good person, she needs to be protected. From now on, I will be the one to protect her!"
