Li Ying noticed that Chenchen was unhappy and wouldn't eat. She sat on the steps in front of the door, resting her chin on her hand, seemingly lost in thought.
"Chenchen, what are you thinking about?"
Li Ying sat beside her son, put her arm around his little shoulder, and patiently asked him questions.
"Mom, I kind of like Uncle Jing."
Chenchen didn't want to lie, and said very seriously, "If Uncle Jing is willing to be my father, I want to plead with my mother. But..."
Disappointment filled Chenchen's eyes. The uncle he had chosen was actually kind to someone else. He thought Uncle Jing's love for him was different, but...
Li Ying patted her son's head: "Chenchen, don't blame Uncle Jing. He's not related to us, and it's already very kind of him to you. We should learn to appreciate the kindness others show and put aside our own unrealistic expectations. We should also learn to accept loss! Chenchen is a good boy, and Mom believes that Chenchen will definitely make himself happy."
Chenchen nodded emphatically, seemingly understanding but not quite.
With the establishment of the Jing Group headquarters, Jing Chi has been extremely busy lately and hasn't had time to spend with Chenchen.
Leng Yan was even busier; he was still entangled with Lu Yufei over matters related to the machinery factory.
Leng Yan understood even better that Aunt Jing's purpose in setting up the headquarters was to give Jing Chi more power to suppress him.
“Master Leng, Aunt Jing is looking for a boss for you.”
"A direct supervisor? That depends on whether Jing Chi has the ability!"
A cold buffet is fine.
"Mr. Leng, Miss Lu is having dinner with the leaders of the machinery factory today, what do you think..."
"Let's go get a drink." Leng Yan got up and walked outside.
Ah Hu followed.
Although this tactic is a bit underhanded, there's no other way; he doesn't mind using some underhanded methods to achieve his goal.
Li Ying accompanied Chenchen to buy the latest toys, and on the way back, they were stopped by A Hu.
"Miss Li Ying, come with me quickly!"
"What's wrong?"
"Something's happened! Come with me right now!" Ah Hu couldn't explain clearly for a moment, so he picked up Chenchen and ran forward. Li Ying followed, and they soon arrived at a newly opened restaurant.
Many people in the restaurant looked panicked, and some even ran quickly to the second floor.
"Hurry, hurry!"
Ah Hu was very nervous.
Li Ying sensed something was wrong and went upstairs ahead of Ah Hu.
At the door of a private room, someone was urgently shouting, "Hurry and get a doctor!"
The waiters were all pale-faced and at a loss.
Li Ying rushed into the private room and saw a large group of people lying haphazardly inside.
Not only was Leng Yan there, but also Lu Yufei, and even her older brother Li Pei.
"elder brother!"
Li Ying ran to Li Pei and helped him sit up.
At this moment, Li Pei was foaming at the mouth, convulsing, and completely unconscious.
"Poisoning! They're all poisoned! Ah Hu, call a doctor and the police!"
"OK!"
Ah Hu carried Chenchen and ran out to call the police.
Li Ying glanced at the people in the private room and said to the terrified man beside her, "Are you the owner of this restaurant? Quickly call someone to take them to the hospital!"
"Okay, okay!"
The owner was also very frustrated. This happened just a few days after the store opened for trial operation. It was really unlucky.
Subsequently, a hospital vehicle arrived and took all seven or eight people in the room to the hospital.
Li Ying followed them to the hospital and met with the doctor who was receiving the patient.
“I checked, and they have arsenic poisoning.”
"Are you sure?" the doctor asked rhetorically.
"I'm sure! Please give them the antidote immediately!" Li Ying said without hesitation.
Following Li Ying's instructions, the doctor injected the poisoned person with a specific antidote.
Soon, these people's symptoms subsided.
Because her older brother Li Pei was there, Li Ying couldn't leave and stayed in the ward.
By the time Ah Hu brought Chenchen over, it was already past six in the afternoon.
"Miss Li Ying, you haven't eaten anything yet, have you? You should go back and get something to eat. I've already notified your family."
"It's alright, you should go and check on Leng Yan."
"good."
Not long after Ah Hu left, Yang Mei and the second brother Li Ting came over.
"What happened? We just went out for a meal, how did we get poisoned?" Yang Mei sat down on the edge of the bed and began to complain.
Li Ting reassured her, "Mom, I heard from the hospital that the poison has been neutralized and there's nothing serious. Don't worry."
Yang Mei sighed: "It must be because of the machinery factory incident; the Jing family and the Lu family were behind it."
"Mom, we've already called the police about this. We'll wait for the police investigation results to find out the specifics. If it was the Lu family, then both Leng Yan and Lu Yufei have been poisoned." Li Ying felt it was unlikely that either of them were responsible.
"What's the big deal about the death of Lu Yufei and Leng Yan to the Lu and Jing families?" Yang Mei said in anger.
But Li Ying listened to her.
Leng Yan is not Aunt Jing's biological son, so is it possible that Aunt Jing wants to get rid of Leng Yan and at the same time eliminate the Lu family, her rival?
The Lu family is supported by Lu Yufei. Without Lu Yufei, the Lu family would truly be leaderless and completely collapse.
Li Ying comforted Chenchen again before taking her back home, as Chenchen wanted to sleep.
Passing by Leng Yan's ward, Li Ying still knocked on the door and came in.
Leng Yan had already woken up, and his complexion was not good, but when facing Li Ying, he still had that cold and indifferent look.
"I heard from Ah Hu that we owe you a lot this time, otherwise we would all have died in that restaurant."
"Leng Yan, who do you think wants you dead?" Li Ying pressed directly.
"I've offended far too many people, and this time they've probably been dragged down by me." Leng Yan changed the subject, not wanting to say too much.
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Li Ying did not press him further and left with Chenchen.
"You're finally back? Jing Chi came looking for me several times, but I sent him away each time."
Since Li Ying said she didn't want to have anything to do with Jing Chi, she would do as Li Ying said and kick Jing Chi out.
"Yes, very well done!"
"By the way, how's it going at the hospital? This story's all over the place, they're even saying someone died on the spot, is that true?"
Li Ying smiled and shook her head: "That's how rumors start! The amount of poison the other party used should not have been much. Everyone has been detoxified and will recover soon."
"Who do you think did this? Doesn't this mean wiping out the Lu and Jing families in one fell swoop?" Sang Zhi asked, puzzled. Who else was keeping an eye on the machinery factory?
Li Ying sat down and made a bold guess that it might be related to the Jing family, but she had no concrete evidence and could only wait for the police to investigate.
Early in the morning, Li Ying got up and cooked porridge. She then took a food box and Chenchen to the hospital to deliver breakfast to her older brother.
"Li Ying!"
He was stopped by Jing Chi as soon as he stepped out the door.
"Young Master Jing, is there something you need?" Li Ying asked, her voice distant and cold.
Jing Chi asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with you? We were fine a few days ago, but why are you ignoring me again? And Chenchen won't play with me anymore. What did I do wrong?"
Li Ying's expression was cold: "Young Master Jing, please don't come here again!"
Why?
Chenchen took out a piece of newspaper cut with scissors from her small bag and handed it to Jingchi.
"Take a look for yourself!"
