Rong Ning couldn't do anything; all she could do was chatter on the sidelines.
The commotion attracted the attention of some people. Seeing that people were watching, Rong Ning spoke with a sob in her voice: "Li Ying, Senior Sister Chen was just saying a few words to you politely. How could you be so vicious? How could you treat Senior Sister Chen like this?"
The onlookers were buzzing with discussion. No one knew what had happened. Some of them knew Li Ying; she had cured Hua Shao's illness and even went directly from the department to the research lab.
"Li Ying seems gentle on the surface, but I never expected her to be so vicious and ruthless, resorting to underhanded tactics against people in other research labs?"
"Yes, that's character. I don't know how he got into the research group?"
Upon hearing the news, Academician Cao rushed over. Seeing the scene, he pointed at Li Ying with a dark face and said, "Li Ying, you've gone too far! This is a hospital, not your home. What did you do to Chen Wen? Release her immediately!"
Li Ying ate slowly, then looked up slightly and said, "Academician Cao, I only pressed her acupoint. As an academician, you should know how to solve this."
Academician Cao's face turned ashen. He pointed at Li Ying, then looked at Wu Hua, and his expression became even more gloomy.
"What? Academician Cao can't even solve this? Then I really don't know how Academician Cao got to this position?"
Li Ying's words made Academician Cao's face turn even colder.
Wu Hua looked at Li Ying in surprise. She was too bold. She should have kept these words to herself. How could she say them out loud?
Academician Cao is the most petty and vindictive person. If you offend him, he loves to make things difficult for you.
"Li Ying, untie Chen Wen right now, or I'll report this to the dean, and we'll see how you stay in the research lab!"
No one else dared to step forward to help; they just watched the spectacle.
Before Rong Ning could say anything more, Li Ying suddenly stood up, staring intently at Rong Ning: "You'd better shut up! Otherwise, I'll make you stay here like her, a puppet!"
“You…” Rong Ning took a step back.
"Li Ying, do you have to go this far?"
"Academician Cao, to be honest, I didn't do anything to Chen Wen. She's clearly capable of moving on her own, so I don't know why she did that just now?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Chen Wen raised her arm as if to hit someone.
"See, you can actually move, aren't you? Are you pretending on purpose? Are you trying to frame my sister Ying?" Tian Li scolded angrily.
Chen Wen looked at her hand that she could move. She hadn't been able to move it just a moment ago, so why could she move it now?
Academician Cao angrily pointed at Chen Wen: "What exactly are you doing?"
Chen Wen was also very frustrated. She really couldn't move before, but who knew she could move again now.
"Turns out he installed it himself, trying to scam people!"
"This is so boring! I've always heard that the people in Research Group B have character issues, and now it seems the rumors are true."
Upon hearing the discussion, Academician Cao became enraged: "Shut your mouths, all of you! If you dare to speak ill of our research group again, I'll have the dean fire you!"
The onlookers should shut up.
Li Ying stood up: "Senior Sister Wu, let's go, it's too noisy here."
Wu Hua stood up, picked up his lunchbox, and left with Li Ying and Tian Li.
Academician Cao pointed angrily at Chen Wen and Rong Ning: "You still want this month's bonus? Don't even think about it!"
Chen Wen and Rong Ning dared not utter a sound, but they hated Li Ying to death in their hearts.
As they left the cafeteria, Wu Hua couldn't help but say, "Li Ying, it's better to offend a gentleman than a petty person. If you offend Academician Cao like this, he'll cause you trouble."
Li Ying frankly stated, "Even if I didn't do this, they would still cause me trouble."
Just from the fact that Rong Ning was able to get into Research Group B, Li Ying knew that the two groups would definitely be at odds from now on.
Moreover, that Academician Cao is not a good person. He steals other people's work. It's a disgrace to researchers that such a parasite can lead people to do scientific research.
"Yeah, Senior Sister Wu, Rong Ning and Yingying don't get along. Rong Ning is always causing trouble for Yingying and spreading bad rumors everywhere. It's so satisfying for Yingying to deal with them like this!" Tian Li thought Li Ying was really cool. If her medical skills were that good, she would do the same.
That felt so good!
Wu Hua glanced at the two of them but said nothing more.
But Li Ying and Tian Li knew that their relationship was slowly thawing.
When they returned to the courtyard house in the afternoon, Lu Qingzhu brought them a precious ginseng root and some donkey-hide gelatin.
"Aunt Yang, take the ginseng to make soup for Yingying," Lu Qingzhu instructed.
“Okay, sir.” Aunt Yang was about to take action.
"Wait a minute!" Hua Chenyue walked into the house from outside, carrying some expensive food in his hands.
"These are precious ingredients that Hua Zhen brought back from abroad. Aunt Yang, please take them to Yingying and cook them."
Aunt Yang looked this way and that way, and finally had no choice but to look at Li Ying: "Girl, look."
Li Ying sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
“Ginseng is too heaty, and bird’s nest and shark fin are not as good as light food.” Ye Jingchi strode into the house and placed the truffles he brought on the table: “I picked these in the mountains today, they are very fresh. Aunt Yang, you can just stir-fry them.”
Aunt Yang was in an even more difficult position. These were all good things, but if they were all used together, Li Ying would probably have a nosebleed tonight!
Li Ying covered her face in frustration.
"Ye Jingchi, what face do you have to come here?" Hua Chenyue questioned sternly.
Ye Jingchi glanced at the thin Hua Chenyue. Even though his cheeks were tanned dark by the sun, he was still so thin that a gust of wind could blow him over.
And you still want to steal someone from him?
"Hua Chenyue, Li Ying is my wife. What's there for me to be embarrassed about? But you, what right do you have to question me?"
"Alright!" Li Ying stood up. "Ye Jingchi, don't come here anymore."
Ye Jingchi looked visibly hurt, gazing at Li Ying with a pitiful expression.
Hua Chenyue was somewhat gloating.
"Hua Chenyue, you should go back to school. Don't come here anymore."
Hua Chenyue's joy was extinguished by a bucket of water poured over his head, leaving him frustrated and blushing.
"Gentlemen, what you're doing isn't showing concern for my junior sister, it's just causing her trouble."
"Li Ying and I are not divorced yet. It's normal for me to come see my wife," Ye Jingchi asserted.
"Ye Jingchi, don't think I don't know. You and my sister only had a marriage of convenience. You have no feelings for each other. And the person you slept with is Nuan Nuan. You have to take responsibility for Nuan Nuan. You can't be two-timing like this!" Hua Chenyue angrily condemned.
Ye Jingchi frowned. It must be Ye Zhonghong who spread this around, otherwise how would the Hua family know so much about it?
"Alright, stop talking! Get out of here, I need some peace and quiet!" Li Ying covered her ears and gave them the order to leave.
Lu Qingzhu shrugged and saw the two people out.
"Ye Jingchi, if you want to take responsibility for Nuannuan, stop clinging to Li Ying! This is not the behavior of a soldier!"
Ye Jingchi sneered: "You know I'm a soldier, and Li Ying and I are in a military marriage. Hua Chenyue, breaking up a military marriage is a crime!"
