Li Ying realized that her second senior brother was lying, so she wanted to chase after him to see what was going on.
"It's raining, where are you going?" Jing Yingyan wheeled himself out of the house, looked at Li Ying, and asked.
Li Ying couldn't very well say that she suspected her second senior brother of lying, so she smiled and said, "I want to eat some pastries, go buy some."
"Let Zhou Qi go, or let Aunt Yang go." Jing Yingyan's expression was cold and stern, forcing Li Ying to retreat back to her room.
"No, why should I listen to him?"
Li Ying realized this and patted her forehead.
Jing Yingyan loves to give orders, and she unconsciously listens to him.
Ye Jingchi's dormitory in the military base.
After the competition that day, Ye Jingchi felt increasingly unwell each day. The vine on his wrist broke open, and he was in excruciating pain that night, but he didn't dare to disturb anyone.
"Ye Jingchi, I've already told you, you can't leave this wound open, it will worsen your condition. If you keep doing this, I'm afraid you won't even last three months!" Shi Bai scolded.
How long until Li Ying gives birth?
"She'll give birth around May or June after the New Year." Shi Bai carefully applied the medicine to Ye Jingchi.
Ye Jingchi himself couldn't wait any longer; he was afraid he wouldn't even make it through the New Year.
"I see."
Shi Bai sighed: "I just don't understand, what's going on between you and Yingying?"
Ye Jingchi was silent for a few minutes: "Li Ying and I only had a marriage of convenience. We are now divorced."
Divorced?
Upon hearing this, Shi Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
Junior Sister is a loyal and affectionate person. If Ye Jingchi and Junior Sister divorced, and Ye Jingchi died, Junior Sister probably wouldn't be so heartbroken.
"My junior sister's baby..."
“It’s mine. During the flood relief efforts at Donghu, I drank too much at the victory celebration banquet and did something wrong.”
Ye Jingchi was actually glad that he had made a mistake back then, so that even if he died, he would still have a son to accompany Li Ying.
Shi Bai opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
He doesn't feel sorry for Ye Jingchi now, but he feels sorry for his junior sister. If Ye Jingchi dies, and his junior sister finds out that the child is Ye Jingchi's, given Li Ying's temperament, she probably won't remarry and will raise the child with great difficulty, just like his mother.
Only those who have experienced those days know how heartbreaking they were.
"Ye Jingchi, your one sentence about being drunk might ruin my junior sister's life of happiness!"
Ye Jingchi didn't want it to be like this, but he was really drunk at the time and couldn't control himself at all.
Shi Bai realized that nothing he said could change the facts. Fortunately, his junior sister had no feelings for Ye Jingchi. At worst, he would raise the child for her after it was born. He would never let his junior sister follow in his mother's footsteps.
When I returned from the army, the sky cleared up, and pedestrians gradually appeared on the road.
Shi Bai felt a blur before his eyes as a familiar figure passed by.
"Transplantation?!"
Shi Bai rubbed his eyes and seemed to see Chuan Miao. She was still wearing her hometown clothes, with a hand-sewn purse hanging on her body, making a crisp tinkling sound as it swayed.
"Pass on the seedlings!"
Shi Bai immediately gave chase, but the person disappeared when he reached the street.
Am I seeing things?
Shi Bai sighed, turned around, and walked away dejectedly.
How could someone who is already dead come back to life? You must be seeing things.
Li Ying arrived at the Lu family home in the afternoon to change Lu Qingzhu's dressing.
As he was leaving, Lu Qingwan stopped him in the living room.
"Li Ying, let's talk!"
Li Ying glanced at Lu Qingwan: "What do you want to say?"
"I want Ye Jingchi," Lu Qingwan stated her purpose directly.
Li Ying smiled calmly: "Ye Jingchi and I are already divorced. He has nothing to do with me. If you want him, that's your private matter, and I have no say in it."
After saying that, he strode away.
Lu Qingwan was overjoyed upon hearing this.
"So Ye Jingchi and Li Ying have nothing to do with each other anymore, that's great! Now I can be with Ye Jingchi!"
Lu Qingwan happily dressed up carefully and went to the Ye family to find Ye Jingchi.
The atmosphere in the Ye family has been very oppressive lately. Ye Jingchi has not returned, and Grandma Ye has gone to the temple to burn incense again. If it weren't for the second son, Ye Wenchi, being at home, this family would be left with only a bunch of women.
Upon seeing the unfamiliar girl enter the courtyard, Ye Zhonghong went to greet her.
Who are you?
Lu Qingwan glanced at Ye Zhonghong: "I am your third brother Ye Jingchi's girlfriend. Make him come out to see me."
Ye Zhonghong frowned. When did Third Brother get a girlfriend again?
No wonder he hasn't been home lately; he's been out having a romantic getaway.
Ye Zhonghong thought her sister-in-law Chunxue was the most suitable person; she looked down on everyone else and scanned Lu Qingwan with disdain.
"My grandmother arranged my third brother's marriage; his own decision didn't count!"
Lu Qingwan smiled and said, "What era are we living in? Parents still make the decisions? This is a new era, love is free. Stop talking nonsense and let Ye Jingchi come out!"
"My third brother isn't home." Ye Zhonghong stood in front of Lu Qingwan, preventing her from entering the house.
“Whether he’s home or not, I’ll go in and see for myself. What right do you, as his sister, have to stop me?” Lu Qingwan said, pushing Ye Zhonghong away.
Ye Zhonghong sat down on the ground angrily, got up, and tried to shove Lu Qingwan.
Lu Qingwan slapped Ye Zhonghong across the face, leaving him stunned for a while.
"You dare hit me?"
"I'm hitting you because you're a younger sister. You should know what it means to be a younger sister!" Lu Qingwan wasn't going to tolerate anyone.
Chunxue came out of the house and stood at the door, her tone gentle, "I don't know whose daughter you are. Our Ye family is not a place you can just walk into. Please, young lady, go back!"
Lu Qingwan glanced at Chunxue: "You must be Ye Jingchi's sister-in-law, right? I've heard of you. You said you didn't plan to remarry after your husband's sacrifice and wanted to remain a chaste widow. But actually, you just want to marry Ye Jingchi. You're just pretending!"
Chunxue's expression changed slightly, but she remained gentle and refined: "This young lady, it is not your place to judge the people of the Ye family!"
"You don't even respect my sister-in-law! You've gone too far!" Ye Zhonghong pointed at Lu Qingwan's nose, wanting to say something harsh, but he only had a few words in his head and couldn't come up with any vulgarities.
What are you doing here?
As Ye Jingchi walked to the door, he saw Ye Zhonghong and Lu Qingwan facing off.
"Ye Jingchi, you're finally back! Your sister is so inconsiderate; she actually stopped me from going in to see you!" Lu Qingwan complained first.
Ye Zhonghong almost vomited blood.
She's usually the one who complains first, but now she's actually lost to the girl in front of her.
Ye Jingchi glanced coldly at the two of them and said, "If you want to argue, go outside and do it. Don't block the way at the door."
After saying that, he strode into the courtyard.
Ye Zhonghong chuckled: "Aren't you my third brother's girlfriend? Why doesn't he even glance at you? You liar!"
Lu Qingwan stomped her foot: "You wait, I will definitely become your third sister-in-law!"
