Thinking of this possibility, Li Ying found it amusing, but she still wanted to make it clear, so she reached out and tugged at Ye Jingchi's sleeve: "Ye Jingchi, my master's rule is that disciples are not allowed to talk about love."
Ye Jingchi's expression immediately improved.
"I just think your junior brother is quite good-looking."
Yeah?
Li Ying didn't expose the man's ulterior motives. Just now, his eyes clearly wanted to cremate her junior brother, but after hearing what she said, his expression softened.
Could it be that Ye Jingchi... has fallen for her?
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Li Ying in a daze, Ye Jingchi reached out and waved his hand in front of Li Ying's eyes.
"It's nothing, let's go back."
As soon as the car stopped in front of the door, Ye Zhonghong rushed up to Li Ying like a stray dog without a leash, and said sharply, "Li Ying, you've really gone too far! You knew that Grandma and the Jing family were at odds, so why did you agree to treat the Jing family's patients?"
The Jing family?
Li Ying thought of the aunt she had met during the day. It turned out she hadn't made a mistake; that was indeed Mrs. Jing. There was no doubt about it; she had to heal this woman's leg.
"Ye Zhonghong, what's wrong with you again?" Ye Jingchi scolded with dissatisfaction.
"Third brother, you don't know, Li Ying actually agreed to treat the old lady of the Jing family's son. You know, Grandma and that old lady of the Jing family are enemies. Li Ying treating the enemy's son is an insult to Grandma." Ye Zhonghong escalated the matter to the feud between the two families.
Ye Jingchi frowned. He was well aware of the feud between the Ye family and the Jing family. It was because of the Jing family that the Ye family vowed to move to the capital to show the Jing family their capabilities.
It's really unreasonable for Li Ying to go and treat the Jing family now, but Li Ying is a doctor, and saving lives is her duty.
“Zhonghong, your third sister-in-law is a doctor, and treating patients is her duty.”
"Duty? Third Brother, have you forgotten how the Jing family treated our Ye family? If Li Ying dares to treat someone from the Jing family, I'll be the first to object!" Ye Zhonghong said with great enthusiasm.
Li Ying listened silently as Ye Zhonghong finished speaking. She didn't want to get involved in the feud between the Jing and Ye families, nor did she have the inclination to. However, she had to treat the son of the Jing family.
"Zhong Hong, what are you doing making such a scene?" Tang Qiao walked over and ordered sternly, "Go back inside, all of you!"
Ye Jingchi tapped Ye Zhonghong's forehead, then took Li Ying's hand and led her to Tang Qiao's room.
Tang Qiao sat at the table, looking up and scrutinizing Li Ying.
“You’ve just arrived at the Ye family and aren’t very familiar with the situation. The grudges between the Ye and Jing families are from a past life. Logically, our Ye family shouldn’t hold onto this matter. But it’s a worry for your grandmother, Li Ying. Please be understanding and try not to go to the Jing family if you can avoid it.”
Instead of blaming her, Tang Qiao tactfully explained the relationship between the two families and advised Li Ying not to go to the Jing family.
"Mom, I've already promised Mrs. Jing, and one shouldn't break their word."
Ye Zhonghong was so angry her nose was crooked: "Mom, look at her, she did it on purpose! She knows that our family and the Jing family are not on good terms, but she still went to treat the Jing family's son."
Tang Qiao looked at Ye Jingchi with a deep gaze.
What could Ye Jingchi say? Grudges are grudges, and medical treatment is medical treatment; they cannot be confused. It's just that Grandpa's death has always been a source of heartache for Grandma, and everyone's reaction is only natural.
“Mom, Li Ying is a doctor. Treating patients and saving lives is her duty. We can’t use family matters to restrict her.”
“There are other doctors in the world, why is she the only one who stands out?” Ye Zhonghong said.
Li Ying didn't want to argue and stood there silently.
Seeing that she couldn't reason with him, Tang Qiao waved her hand and said, "Never mind, you should go back and rest first."
Li Ying turned and left Tang Qiao's room, returning to her own.
Ye Zhonghong grabbed Ye Jingchi, who was about to leave: "Third Brother, did you see that? Li Ying is so arrogant! She doesn't respect our family at all! She married you and became a member of the Ye family, supposed to stand together against a common enemy. But she's actually siding with outsiders, insisting on treating the Jing family's patients. It's outrageous!"
Ye Jingchi is not biased towards either side at all.
"Mom, grudges are grudges, and medical treatment is medical treatment. We can't mix them up. Since Li Ying has promised someone, let her do it."
Ye Zhonghong's lips twitched, "Third Brother, you..."
Ever since marrying Li Ying, he has been unable to distinguish right from wrong and his grievances have become unclear.
Ye Jingchi was too lazy to explain these things to Ye Zhonghong and turned around to go back to his room.
Grandma Ye did not eat with everyone at dinner that evening.
"Mom, why didn't Grandma come out to eat?" Chunxue asked softly as she served rice to everyone.
"Grandma is so angry she can't eat," Ye Zhonghong added, giving Li Ying a fierce glare.
Chunxue was confused: "Is Grandma angry? Who upset Grandma?"
"It's not Dangdang. Dangdang is very well-behaved. Great-Grandma especially likes Dangdang."
Ye Zhonghong rubbed Dangdang's head: "Dangdang is such a good girl, how could she possibly offend Great-Grandma? It was someone who couldn't tell good people from bad people that offended Grandma."
"Zhonghong, eat your food and stop talking so much!" Tang Qiao scolded sternly.
Ye Zhonghong was very unconvinced. She ate her rice while glancing at Li Ying from time to time.
Once Leng Su brings the information back, she will definitely expose all of Li Ying's shameful deeds, humiliate Li Ying, and then kick her out of the Ye family.
Ye Jingchi returned to the bedroom, where Li Ying was tidying up her first-aid kit.
"You absolutely have to go?"
"Um."
Li Ying did not hesitate at all.
The reason she was willing to come to the capital with Ye Jingchi was to find the Jing family. Now that the Jing family had found her, she couldn't miss this opportunity.
Li Ying looked up and saw Ye Jingchi sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at her without saying a word. She then said, "Ye Jingchi, there are many things I should be honest with you about, but I can't tell you this matter until I've done a good job."
“I know you have your own principles in everything you do, and I don’t object.”
If you don't object, why give me that look?
Li Ying withdrew her gaze and continued tidying up her tools.
“I’m not trying to ignore the feud between your family and the Jing family, but there are some things I have to do. Ye Jingchi, I’m very grateful for your support, but I need you to appease Grandma.”
Ye Jingchi nodded; this was also something he, as a husband, had to do.
"I'm going to take a shower."
Ye Jingchi got up and left.
Li Ying stopped what she was doing, turned her head to look at the man's departing figure. Ye Jingchi's recent behavior was quite intriguing. For some reason, he always gave people the feeling that he was about to fall in love.
As usual, Ye Jingchi massaged Li Ying's legs and shoulders. He was quite skilled at these things. What puzzled Li Ying was that he always kissed her before going to bed.
It wasn't a deep kiss, just a light peck on her lips.
Li Ying seemed unable to find the words to blame him, after all, a marriage of convenience is still a marriage.
Forget it, I won't argue with him. A kiss won't hurt me.
