Li Ying stopped and turned around to stand still.
"Madam Ye, is there something you want to say?"
Grandma Ye looked at Li Ying, who had an indifferent expression, and knew that if she said anything more, she might lose her granddaughter-in-law.
"We know everything about Jingchi."
After a long pause, Grandma Ye finally managed to utter this sentence.
Li Ying thought Grandma Ye would scold her, but she didn't expect her to only say this.
"This child is just too silly. You're a doctor, you can cure him even if he's sick, right?"
Looking at Grandma Ye's gray hair, Li Ying's resentment disappeared.
Losing her grandson would be the most painful thing in her life.
"Grandma Ye, you want to know how Ye Jingchi got his illness, right?"
"Li Ying, my grandmother spoke to you calmly, what kind of attitude is this?" Ye Zhonghong strode into the living room from outside, speaking in an imperious manner.
"Zhonghong!" Chunxue tugged at Ye Zhonghong, signaling her with her eyes to stop fooling around.
Ye Zhonghong, however, shook off Chunxue.
"If you're too embarrassed to say it, I will. Li Ying, what are you so proud of? If it weren't for you, my third brother wouldn't have gotten hurt, and he wouldn't have hidden away from everyone out of fear of upsetting us. It's all because of you, you jinx!"
Ye Zhonghong's finger almost touched Li Ying's face.
Li Ying's eyes were deep and dark. She raised her hand and slapped Ye Zhonghong hard across the face.
Li Ying had been putting up with her for a long time, and she had wanted to slap her for ages.
"Li Ying, how dare you hit me?"
"What, you dare call me a jinx, and I can't hit you? Ye Zhonghong, if you had any brains at all, you wouldn't say such things. I'm Ye Jingchi's wife, your third sister-in-law, and you don't even have the most basic respect. Do you look down on me, or on your third brother?"
Li Ying coldly questioned Ye Zhonghong, leaving him speechless.
"You're not good enough for my third brother!"
Li Ying smiled coldly: "Whether I am good enough for your third brother is not for you to decide! Remember, I am divorced from Ye Jingchi now. He is him, and I am me. If you dare to say a bad word about me in front of me, I will beat you up every time I see you!"
Ye Zhonghong was frightened by Li Ying's glare and retreated behind Chunxue.
Chunxue gently comforted her, "Sister-in-law, Zhonghong is young and doesn't know any better. Why bother arguing with her?"
Li Ying glanced at Chunxue, "An eighteen-year-old young lady, still young?"
Grandma Ye waved her hand: "Alright, don't talk about Li Ying like that again!"
"Thank you, Madam Ye, for upholding justice for me. If you were more discerning, you wouldn't have allowed Ye Zhonghong to be so arrogant!"
“You…” Ye Zhonghong pointed at Li Ying.
She's gone mad! Li Ying is completely insane! She actually dared to lecture her own grandmother!
Grandma Ye was stunned by the scolding, feeling embarrassed, and pressed her head down.
"You may all leave now. I need some peace and quiet."
Li Ying turned and left.
Ye Zhonghong retorted, "Grandma, look at Li Ying's attitude! She doesn't respect the Ye family at all! We're respectable people in the capital, why should we give her a hard time?"
"Shut up!" Grandma Ye slammed her hand on the table. "The child in Li Ying's belly is your third brother's. She's a member of the Ye family. What you're doing will only push her away!"
Grandma Ye knew that Jing Yingyan was always jumping around in front of Li Ying.
If feelings develop over time, and Li Ying changes her mind and remarries Jing Yingyan, wouldn't her Ye family descendants have to change their surname to Jing?
Grandma Ye would never let such a thing happen!
In a dilapidated house in the suburbs, Lu Xingzhou sat awkwardly at the table, munching on a coarse grain pancake.
A man dressed in tattered clothes entered the courtyard and handed a note to Lu Xingzhou.
"The arms deal has been discovered. Your superiors have ordered you to evacuate immediately! Preferably by water!"
Lu Xingzhou held the note in his hand: "What am I going to do with the weapons I've managed to procure this time?"
"The higher-ups said that you just need to hide well, and they will send someone to take over."
After saying that, the man turned and ran away.
Lu Xingzhou slammed his fist on the table.
"I never imagined that Ye Jingchi had already investigated me and even entrusted the evidence to Li Ying for safekeeping. I was so stupid to even think of trying to win Li Ying back!"
Throwing down the multigrain pancake in his hand, Lu Xingzhou stood up angrily: "Li Ying, if you won't let me have a good life, I won't let you have one either! Even if I leave, I'll take you with me!"
Siheyuan (courtyard house).
Achoo!
Li Ying sneezed loudly and pulled her clothes tighter around herself.
There's still no news about Hua Qingqing, and Li Ying is very worried. She really hopes that Tong Danian can find out Hua Qingqing's whereabouts soon.
Why did they grab Hua Qingqing?
Li Ying thought of this problem.
That doesn't make sense!
Hua Qingqing is just an actress. What are they after? The formula she has?
Li Ying sighed, realizing she had almost forgotten that while the scent of the tent might not be that important, the formula for that ointment was priceless.
When Academician Cao was arrested, Li Ying was never at ease in the research group, which shows that there were still people coveting their achievements.
"Miss Ying." Zhou Qi entered the courtyard with a solemn expression. "The police station is searching with all its might, and the Hua family has also sent people to look for us, but there is still no news."
"It's all my fault for being careless. I shouldn't have told her about the ointment's formula."
Even in later generations, countless people wanted many of China's traditional Chinese medicine formulas and were willing to pay high prices to buy out the patents.
Now that Hua Qingqing has the formula for the ointment, she will naturally become prey for others.
"Sister Yingying!" Lu Qingwan entered the courtyard carrying an exquisite box. "My junior brother asked me to bring this to you so you can nourish yourself properly."
Exquisite bird's nest.
Li Ying wasn't used to these foods, so she smiled and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother, he's so kind."
"Don't mention it. It's only right that my brother treats you well." Lu Qingwan handed the things to Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi took it, and seeing Lu Qingwan staring straight at him, he coughed awkwardly.
"Miss Lu, why are you looking at me like that?"
Lu Qingwan looked Zhou Qi up and down: "I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?"
"I?"
Zhou Qi carefully examined Lu Qingwan, but he didn't pay too much attention to women and had no impression of her at all.
"Really? I didn't know that."
"You probably don't know, have you ever been to California?"
Zhou Qi was taken aback, but quickly recovered: "Miss Lu is joking. I've never been to California. Which state is California?"
Lu Qingwan rubbed her forehead: "Could it be that I remembered it wrong?"
Li Ying asked Zhou Qi to deliver the items to Aunt Yang.
"Sister Yingying, what's this person's name? How long have they been with you?" Lu Qingwan pressed.
Li Ying found it interesting that Lu Qingwan was paying so much attention to Zhou Qi.
"He's been with me for about half a year, his name is Zhou Qi."
“Zhou Qi?! He looks a lot like the person I met in California, but I don’t know if it’s him or not?” Lu Qingwan muttered to herself.
California?
Isn't that the beautiful country?
Zhou Qi has been to California?
