Jing Yingyan saw a possibility in Li Ying's resolute gaze. He twitched his lips, said nothing more, turned his wheelchair, left, and considerately closed the door.
Li Ying snapped out of her reverie, saw the ginseng soup on the table, picked it up, and sipped it slowly.
Of course, she will take good care of her health and will not do such a cruel thing unless absolutely necessary.
After dinner, Li Ying gave Jing Yingyan acupuncture and then went back to her room to continue reading.
When Ye Jingchi arrived, the lights were on in her room.
Ye Jingchi stood there for a long time, and when he heard the sound of a wheelchair behind him, he gripped the documents in his hand tightly.
"Commander Ye, have you made up your mind?" Jing Yingyan asked with a hint of schadenfreude.
“Jing Yingyan, don’t think that being close to someone will give you an advantage. My relationship with Li Ying is not a new beginning.”
Ye Jingchi said loudly.
Jing Yingyan chuckled softly: "A marriage that was wrong from the start, what good outcome do you think it can have?"
Ye Jingchi turned around and looked down at Jing Yingyan in the wheelchair. If it weren't for the fact that he was in a wheelchair, he would have liked to drag him outside and fight him.
“Ye Jingchi, you’ve been promoted to regimental commander and are over twenty years old, but I feel like you’re still a child who hasn’t been weaned. Yes, home is a warm place, but there are some things you should listen to and some things you shouldn’t.” Jing Yingyan’s words struck a nerve with Ye Jingchi’s most vulnerable spot.
He was raised with the values of family harmony, respect for elders and love for children, filial piety towards parents, and harmonious relationships with his siblings.
Therefore, Grandma did not allow everyone to separate the family, and they all complied. Even though they knew that staying together would cause some conflicts, they still chose to live together for the sake of family harmony.
After the eldest brother's sacrifice, the family atmosphere became even more harmonious, and no one dared to mention dividing the family property.
Today, Jing Yingyan's few words revealed the reason for his and Li Ying's failed marriage.
“Jing Yingyan, I’m not as cold-blooded as you.”
“I may be cold-blooded, but I will never let my wife suffer any humiliation at home, not even a little bit.” Jing Yingyan finished speaking and patted the armrest of his wheelchair. “Sorry, I’m not trying to discourage you. Ye Jingchi, you’re only someone of importance in the military, but in your family, you’re a complete failure!”
Without giving Ye Jingchi a chance to retaliate, Jing Yingyan pushed his wheelchair away.
Ye Jingchi was seething with anger, but he managed to suppress it.
Li Ying didn't know when she stood up, feeling soreness in her back and legs. She opened the door, and Zhou Qi, who was leaning against a tree in the yard, hurriedly went over and handed her a document.
"Miss Ying, this is what Commander Ye asked me to give you."
Li Ying took the folder, opened it, and pulled out a signed divorce agreement, along with a bankbook.
The divorce agreement clearly states that Ye Jingchi will be responsible for her and their child's livelihood for the next eighteen years, and will pay a certain amount of living expenses every month to ensure their well-being.
"Miss Ying, what does Commander Ye mean by this?" Zhou Qi didn't quite understand. Commander Ye clearly liked Miss Ying very much. A few days ago, he almost broke the law for Li Ying and nearly hit Rong Ning.
Just one day later, Commander Ye wanted to divorce Li Ying.
Li Ying breathed a sigh of relief and put the agreement into a folder.
"An unsuitable marriage is ultimately just a painful prison."
After Li Ying finished speaking, she turned around and went back to her room, closing the door behind her.
Zhou Qi stroked his chin, looking completely bewildered. He didn't understand what marriage was, but he knew that Commander Ye wasn't a heartless person.
The Ye family.
"What?" Grandma Ye suddenly stood up: "You and Li Ying are divorced?"
Tang Qiao was shocked: "Jingchi, are you crazy!"
Chunxue, sitting to the side, seemed a little excited, but she restrained her excitement and just looked at Ye Jingchi with shallow eyes.
"You heard me right, I will not get married for the next ten years." Ye Jingchi said and turned to leave.
Grandma Ye was so angry she almost fainted.
"What does he mean by this? We didn't force him to divorce Li Ying, and he suddenly pulled this stunt, coming back to spout nonsense about not getting married for ten years! He's trying to drive this old man crazy!"
Tang Qiao quickly soothed Grandma Ye by pressing her chest against her chest.
“Grandma, we don’t know whose child Li Ying is carrying. My third brother is doing the right thing,” Ye Zhonghong said after observing the situation.
"Shut up!" Tang Qiao snapped. "This family has no peace because of you!"
Ye Zhonghong felt very wronged and pouted.
"Mom, don't blame Zhonghong. She's just outspoken and didn't mean it," Chunxue said, trying to smooth things over for Ye Zhonghong.
Ye Zhonghong still thinks her sister-in-law is the best.
Are the whole family blind?
Besides her slightly better medical skills, what is Li Ying proud of? Without the Ye family, she is nothing!
"It's my fault, it's all my fault." Grandma Ye blamed herself: "It was because I let you lose your sense of propriety that you yelled at Li Ying."
"Mom, I also bear some responsibility."
Ultimately, it's because the elders are incompetent. If the elders could keep Ye Zhonghong in check, she wouldn't be so arrogant.
Hua Qingqing, who had just returned, heard that Li Ying was really going to divorce Ye Jingchi, so she immediately came to find Li Ying.
"Second sister-in-law, you're not here to mediate, are you?"
Hua gently shook her head: "How could that be? Do you think I'm that clueless? I'm here to build a relationship with you. You can leave the Ye family, but you can't sever our connection."
Li Ying smiled slightly, picked up a wooden box, and handed it to Hua Qingqing.
"Here is the incense you requested."
The flowers gently opened, and the room was immediately filled with a fragrant aroma.
"It smells so good, with a faint herbal scent. How did you do that?"
Li Ying wrote down the process of making the incense on a piece of paper and handed it to Hua Qingqing.
"You can try making it yourself."
Hua Qingqing was a little embarrassed: "Li Ying, you just gave me the method like this?"
"Yes, Second Sister-in-law, I know acting is your hobby, but you'll definitely be rich in the future. You could set up a factory to produce these tent incense sticks to sell; you could definitely make money." Li Ying had no interest in doing business; otherwise, she would have applied for a patent and started her own factory long ago.
Hua Qingqing thought it made sense: "Okay, I'll try it out first. If it works well, I'll set up a factory as you said when I have money in the future. But let's make it clear, this secret formula is your investment, and I'll give you dividends every year."
Li Ying did not refuse. Only a fool would not make money if he could. She was more than happy to accept a share of the profits.
"Thank you, Second Sister-in-law."
"Hey, don't call me Second Sister-in-law anymore, just call me Qingqing." Hua Qingqing took out her seal and gave it to Li Ying.
"To prevent me from defaulting on my debts later, I'll leave my seal with you."
Li Ying smiled slightly, pursing her lips: "Okay."
"I'm going to Yunnan to film in a couple of days. If you weren't pregnant, you would come with me there, take a walk, and relax."
Li Ying's eyes lit up: "You're going to Yunnan to film a movie?"
