Chapter 45 Discovering the Problem



Hearing Li Ying's complaints, Ye Jingchi not only didn't get angry, but instead chuckled softly.

This is the Li Ying he wanted to see, not the cold and aloof one who treated him like a stranger.

"Li Ying, I like it when you throw a tantrum at me."

Li Ying was speechless. She couldn't stay any longer. She didn't know what this person would say next. She stood up, but Ye Jingchi hugged her waist from behind.

"Yingying, may I call you that?"

During the time they spent together, he maintained the respect due to Li Ying, even calling her by her full name. Now, he no longer wanted to call her by her full name; he wanted to get closer and take things a step further.

Every time Ye Jingchi heard Hua Chenyue call Yingying "sister", he felt like smashing Hua Chenyue's head in.

"Ye Jingchi, how many times do I have to tell you before you understand what I mean?"

"I understood it after just one look, but Li Ying, please allow me to pretend I don't understand?"

"Ye Jingchi, if you keep this up, I won't be polite."

Li Ying's fingers had already touched the silver needles in her bag.

Ye Jingchi pressed down on the back of her hand.

This woman is so cruel to him, she even wants to prick him with silver needles!

The door opened at that moment, and Ye Zhonghong and Jiang Nuannuan stood at the door, staring in disbelief at the two people in the dormitory.

Li Ying broke free from Ye Jingchi, glanced at Ye Zhonghong and Jiang Nuannuan, said nothing more, and left.

"Third Brother, what is she doing here?"

Ye Zhonghong questioned.

Ye Jingchi narrowed his eyes slightly, clenched his fist, and said with displeasure, "Ye Zhonghong, if you have no brains, I don't mind beating you back into your mother's womb!"

Ye Zhonghong was startled by her third brother's cold expression and took a step back, looking aggrieved: "Mom said she was worried you wouldn't eat well here, so she sent me to check on you."

"So you called her?"

Jiang Nuannuan saw the disgust in Ye Jingchi's eyes—a deep disgust.

"Brother Jingchi, I begged Zhonghong to bring me here." Jiang Nuannuan was on the verge of tears.

"Third Brother, why are you blaming Nuannuan? I was the one who dragged her here. I didn't expect that Li Ying would still pester you, Third Brother, and even follow you to the army base!"

"Ye Zhonghong!" Ye Jingchi's eyes darkened. "I'm warning you, if you dare to disrespect your sister-in-law again, I won't hesitate to send you out of the capital!"

Ye Zhonghong was stunned. It seemed that her third brother didn't want to take responsibility for Nuannuan.

"Third Brother, are you trying to shirk responsibility?" Ye Zhonghong spoke up for Nuannuan.

Jiang Nuannuan gently tugged at Ye Zhonghong: "Zhonghong, stop talking, Third Brother is angry."

"What's there for him to be angry about? If he hadn't ruined your reputation, you wouldn't have gotten pregnant and had to have an abortion."

Jiang Nuannuan's cheeks flushed instantly, and she lowered her head.

"You went to get an abortion?" Ye Jingchi narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Jiang Nuannuan. "When did this happen?"

Ye Zhonghong nudged Jiang Nuannuan: "Speak up, speak up!"

Jiang Nuannuan clutched the hem of her clothes tightly: "It was just a while ago."

"Third brother, back then Nuannuan didn't want you to take responsibility. If I hadn't stood by and watched, she would have kept it all to herself. You didn't cherish such a good Nuannuan and instead kept getting involved with that Li Ying. You were really stupid!"

"Alright, since you had an abortion, you should know that this is also a miscarriage. Why are you running around instead of staying at home?" Ye Jingchi reprimanded in a stern voice.

Jiang Nuannuan was so scolded that she almost cried.

Ye Zhonghong, however, felt that this was her third brother's way of expressing his love.

"Aren't you going to take her back?"

"I'll take Nuannuan back right away." Ye Zhonghong handed the lunchbox to her third brother and pulled Jiang Nuannuan away.

After everyone left, Ye Jingchi put the lunchbox on the table, turned around and went to his office to call Tong Danian.

"Busy guy, what can I do for you?"

"Please help me find out when Jiang Nuannuan went to the hospital for an abortion."

Tong Danian was greatly surprised: "No, Brother Chi, did you really do something to that young girl?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Go investigate!"

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to investigate right away! But Brother Chi, let me remind you, you can't be two-timing, or you'll be letting your wife down!" Tong Danian had only met Li Ying a few times, but he was already speaking up for her.

"Don't worry, in my dictionary, there is no such thing as divorce, only widowhood!"

After hanging up the phone, a sinister glint flashed in Ye Jingchi's deep eyes.

The person who dares to scheme against Ye Jingchi has not yet been born!

He went to find Leng Su before, but that guy went to Xiangcheng and wouldn't come back for at least a year or two.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Hua Qingqing hadn't been back to her parents' home for many years. She was overjoyed to be allowed to return by her grandmother. Fortunately, Ye Wenchi didn't mind and came to the Hua family home with Hua Qingqing.

Enjoying the moon and eating mooncakes are traditional practices for Chinese people.

Hua Chenyue made the mooncakes herself, but she wouldn't let anyone else eat them.

"What, is this made for your sweetheart?" Hua teased softly.

Hua Chenyue didn't hide anything and nodded.

"You really have someone you like? Tell your sister, who is it? Let your sister see if she's good enough for our Chenyue?"

Hua Chenyue hesitated for a moment, then leaned closer to Hua Qingqing: "Sister, I'm telling you, but don't tell anyone else. You know this person too, it's Sister Yingying."

"What?" Hua Qingqing exclaimed in surprise.

Look over here, everyone.

Hua smiled awkwardly and waved her hand: "Chen Yue and I have something to say to each other privately."

Hua gently pulled her younger brother to a secluded spot and earnestly asked, "You weren't joking just now?"

Hua Chenyue shook his head fiercely: "Of course not! Sister, you know that once the Hua family has made up their minds, they won't change them."

Like Hua Qingqing, who was determined to succeed in the acting industry, she insisted on her choice even after being kicked out of the Hua family.

Hua Qingqing didn't mind that Li Ying was a second-time bride, but as for Ye Jingchi, she was afraid her younger brother wouldn't be a match for him.

"Chen Yue, actually my sister also likes Li Ying very much. If she were to become my sister-in-law, I would have no objection."

Hua Chenyue knew his sister would definitely support him.

"But, I'm not trying to discourage you, but it won't be easy for you to snatch someone away from Ye Jingchi."

Hua Chenyue disagreed: "Ye Jingchi will be divorcing Yingying in a year. At that time, he will have no right to speak."

Yeah?

Hua Qingqing didn't think so. Ye Jingchi was the kind of person who wouldn't even deign to marry a woman like Chunxue. He would never marry a girl with Jiang Nuannuan's intelligence. Even if they slept together, he would only make up for it in other ways. He would never agree to get married.

That silly boy of hers is so naive!

“Chen Yue, listen to your sister. It’s better to end it quickly than to suffer for a long time. Li Ying is a good person, but you two are not destined to be together.”

"Sister, are you not supporting me?" Hua Chenyue was very disappointed. He felt that his sister shouldn't have this attitude.

“It’s not that I don’t support you, it’s just that your idea… won’t work.” Hua Qingqing sincerely advised her younger brother: “Li Ying can only belong to Ye Jingchi, no one can take her away.”

"Ye Jingchi is not good enough for Li Ying! I believe that as long as I am sincere, I will definitely be able to move Sister Yingying!"

"Nonsense!" Grandma Hua scolded, and the two siblings turned around and stood still.
