Faced with Lu Qingwan's accusations, Ye Jingchi was stunned. He had very few memories of this girl. When had he ever promised her anything?
"Qingwan, this is ridiculous! How can you talk to Commander Ye like that?" Mrs. Lu scolded with a stern face.
Lu Qingwan was still unconvinced. She pouted and looked at Ye Jingchi, wanting to see what kind of person was qualified to marry Ye Jingchi.
Li Ying came downstairs and saw several people in the living room. Her expression was calm. She said to Mrs. Lu, "Aunt Lu, my junior brother's wrist is recovering very well."
"Thank you for your hard work." Mrs. Lu couldn't lose her composure; even though she had many complaints about Li Ying, she still had to maintain appearances.
Besides, it's not Li Ying's fault that Lu Qingzhu got injured. It was her own son who willingly took a knife for someone else. How could she control him?
"You are Li Ying?" Lu Qingwan asked loudly.
Li Ying then took a closer look at Lu Qingwan. The girl was pretty with delicate features and was wearing a Western-style dress.
"You're Qingwan, right?"
Li Ying had met Lu Qingwan a few years ago when she visited the Lu family. At that time, Lu Qingwan was still a little girl, but in the blink of an eye, she had grown into a young woman.
"Yes, I am Lu Qingwan! Who are you, that you were able to marry Ye Jingchi?"
Li Ying raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ye Jingchi. It seemed that this girl was probably Ye Jingchi's admirer.
Ye Jingchi raised his hand and took Li Ying's hand, saying to Mrs. Lu, "Aunt Lu, we'll head back now."
"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off!"
Lu Qingwan tried to stop her, but Mrs. Lu grabbed her tightly and pressed her down on the sofa.
"Qingwan, can't you be a little more reserved? Ye Jingchi is already married, so stop daydreaming."
Lu Qingwan was indignant. Why should he? Ye Jingchi had promised to marry her when she returned, but he went back on his word.
On the way back, Ye Jingchi would steal glances at Li Ying from time to time, and saw that her expression was indifferent, as if she was not angry about what had just happened.
She always had this aloof and cold demeanor, as if she couldn't be bothered by worldly affairs.
"Me and Lu Qingwan..."
“You don’t need to explain!” Li Ying interrupted Ye Jingchi: “We’re already divorced. Who you like, and who likes you, has nothing to do with me.”
Ye Jingchi is now the regimental commander and is so good-looking, so there must be a lot of people who like him. Li Ying is glad that she made the decision to divorce him, otherwise all these messy admirers would have made her feel exhausted.
Ye Jingchi gripped the steering wheel tightly. Li Ying's attitude still made him feel wronged, but he also knew that he couldn't give Li Ying a sense of security, which was why she put on a whole suit of armor to avoid getting hurt.
Upon arriving at the courtyard house, Li Ying got out of the car.
Tian Li and Zhou Qi came out of the courtyard.
"Sister Yingying, let's have roast whole lamb today." Tian Li said with a happy smile.
Li Ying nodded: "Okay."
"Commander Ye, please stay and have some roasted whole lamb!" Zhou Qi urged.
Ye Jingchi turned to look at Li Ying, and then heard Tian Li say, "This sheep was sent by the Jing family. The Jing family even sent a chef who roasts whole sheep. They are so thoughtful and meticulous."
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingchi felt a sharp pain in his wrist that made his heart clench.
"No need, I have some things to take care of at my unit."
After saying that, he jumped into the car and drove away.
Zhou Qi touched his nose: "Commander Ye, are you that busy?"
Li Ying smiled, stepped into the courtyard, and the aroma of mutton wafted through the air.
The Jing family's cook was busy brushing sesame oil onto the lamb, while Jing Yingyan sat to the side directing him.
Tian Li leaned closer to Li Ying: "To be honest, if Young Master Jing's legs were in good condition, he would definitely be a good family man."
Li Ying glared at Tian Li: "Don't discriminate against disabled people!"
Tian Li patted his mouth and went over to help.
Zhou Qi also went to help.
Just as the whole roasted lamb was almost ready, an uninvited guest arrived at the courtyard.
“Miss Ying, that man named Lu Xingzhou is outside the courtyard. He says he wants to see you.”
Li Ying didn't want to get involved with these people, but they seemed unwilling to let her go. First, Rong Ning came to beg her with her child, and now it was Lu Xingzhou's turn to come looking for her.
"Go tell Lu Xingzhou that I've cut all ties with him and ask him not to bother me again!"
"yes!"
Zhou Qi went out to drive them away.
Lu Xingzhou was furious after being kicked out, and when he got home, he smashed his things.
"Jiajia, Jiajia, wake up."
..."
Rong Ning held her son in the bedroom and cried uncontrollably: "It's all my fault. I was wrong. If I had known that Lu Qingzhu knew the peerless acupuncture technique, I shouldn't have asked someone to deal with Li Ying."
Lu Xingzhou was stunned. He strode into the bedroom, grabbed Rong Ning's wrist, and said sharply, "What did you say? You had someone do what happened last time when Li Ying was attacked and Lu Qingzhu's wrist was broken?"
Rong Ning broke free from Lu Xingzhou's hand, raising her tear-streaked face: "Yes, it was me! It's all because you can't forget Li Ying. I couldn't stand it, so I sent someone to teach her a lesson. I never expected her to be so lucky!"
Lu Xingzhou grabbed Rong Ning's shoulders: "You used to be so kind and tolerant, why have you become like this? Or is it that I never understood you at all?"
Rong Ning laughed through her tears: "Yes, you've never understood me. In your heart, all you need is a capable assistant to help you advance! Never a lover to spend your life with! Li Ying isn't one, and neither am I."
Lu Xingzhou shook off Rong Ning, his face contorted with rage: "You're talking nonsense!"
"Am I talking nonsense? Lu Xingzhou, ask yourself honestly, didn't you choose to hook up with me because you thought Li Ying couldn't help you advance?"
Lu Xingzhou slapped Rong Ning hard across the face, pointing his finger at Rong Ning's nose: "You shameless bastard, you ruined my marriage with Yingying! You lied to me, saying you were Master Qian's apprentice, that's why I was with you, but it was all a lie!"
A sarcastic smile flashed in Rong Ning's eyes: "Lu Xingzhou, you really are that kind of person! Now that I'm useless, you don't even care about your son anymore, do you?"
"Don't mention our son to me!" Lu Xingzhou grabbed Rong Ning's collar. "You're the one who gave him the injection to fake illness and tricked me into coming back to be with you. That's why he's like this. Rong Ning, you're the most vicious person!"
Rong Ning realized her son wasn't moving, and frantically shook his shoulders: "Jiajia, Jiajia, wake up! Don't scare Mommy! Mommy has nothing left, but I can't live without you! Jiajia!"
The first rain of winter drizzled all night, and the weather was indeed getting cold. Li Ying put on her thick winter clothes.
I promised Qingqing yesterday that I would visit the Hua family today.
But the rain kept falling, so Li Ying returned the call, declined Hua Qingqing's invitation, and stayed home reading ancient books.
Hearing footsteps, Li Ying got up and opened the door, seeing her second senior brother wearing a cloak and about to go out.
"Second Brother, it's still raining, where are you going?"
Shi Bai stopped and calmly replied, "I saw a patient yesterday. The patient's illness was very complicated. The patient took the herbal medicine I prescribed last night. I was really worried, so I went to check on him."
Li Ying nodded: "You can let me know if you need anything."
"Don't worry, if Second Senior Brother can't handle it, he'll definitely ask Junior Sister for help." Shi Bai said, then strode out of the courtyard.
"When did Second Brother see a patient?" Li Ying pondered for a moment before realizing, "Second Brother actually lied!"
