But Xiao He was stunned: "What? A doctor? A psychiatrist? You're saying the child has a mental illness? How is that possible?"
The doctor comforted Xiao He, saying, "This is just my preliminary deduction. To be honest, even if a child is just being willful and immature, she shouldn't cause so much trouble for her family on New Year's Eve, right? This girl is over twenty years old, right? She shouldn't be so immature. But she has no physical problems at all. All the tests I can do prove that she is very healthy, and she doesn't look like she has taken a few cold pills. She doesn't even have any cold symptoms, but she insists that she is sick. So it can only be a mental problem."
After the doctor finished speaking earnestly, he looked at Xiao He with sympathy: "But this is my deduction. If you hadn't been making such a fuss on New Year's Eve, I wouldn't have thought this way. At most, I would have thought that the girl was upset about something and was just making a fuss. But it's the New Year, so it can't be like this."
Ye Tingjun then looked at Xiao He: "Still don't understand?"
Xiao He finally lowered her head: "Perhaps I was wrong."
Just then, another patient arrived at the emergency room. He had cut off half a finger while chopping vegetables, which was quite frightening.
Ye Yifan and the others quickly came out to make way for the other party.
After coming out, Xiao He looked at Fang Lanlan and asked, "Why did you lie to me?"
Fang Lanlan knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she cried and said, "Mom, I didn't mean to. I was just too lonely at home by myself, and I wanted you to come back and keep me company."
Xiao He sighed and said, "You've disappointed me so much."
Ye Tingjun said, "Let's stop talking here and go home. It's the New Year, and coming to the hospital isn't a good thing."
After saying that, he turned to Ye Yifan and said, "Xiao Fan, let's go."
The father and son walked in front, with Xiao He behind them. Fang Lanlan followed beside Xiao He, wanting to say something, but Ye Yifan and the others were walking too fast, and she couldn't get a chance to speak.
They soon returned to Ye Tingjun's home.
Once inside, Ye Tingjun closed the door.
As soon as Fang Lanlan entered the house, she knelt down in front of Xiao He: "Mom, I was wrong. I will never do it again. I was just afraid that you would abandon me. It was so lonely for me to spend the New Year alone. I just hoped that you could come back after the New Year's Eve dinner. I really just wanted to be with you. I didn't mean any harm."
Xiao He still felt reluctant to part with Fang Lanlan, and she knew that Fang Lanlan must have felt wronged at home. But the Fang Lanlan who never lied in her heart was gone. She had lied. How much of the trust she had placed in her before was true or false?
She looked at Fang Lanlan and asked, "How many times have you lied to me?"
Fang Lanlan pointed to the ceiling and said, "I swear, this is the only time."
Ye Yifan thought to himself, Fang Lanlan is ruthless enough. Although she swore that this matter was not allowed, most people would still feel it was bad luck. She is indeed a ruthless person.
However, Ye Yifan didn't want them to say too much now, lest Fang Lanlan dispel Xiao He's doubts from earlier.
He said to Ye Tingjun, "Dad, it's getting late. Grandpa is still worried. Shouldn't we go back?"
Ye Tingjun said, "Okay, let's go." After saying that, he said to Fang Lanlan, "Go back to the Fang family tomorrow. We've been at Grandpa Xiaofan's house for the past few days. Because of you, I haven't been able to spend the New Year properly with my own father for many years. If you are filial, don't just say it. I hope you can go back to the Fang family for a few days. If Grandpa comes to visit, I don't want him to feel sad when he sees you. Grandpa's health is not good."
After Ye Tingjun said that, Fang Lanlan knew that she had no chance of winning what had just happened. In this round, she lost to Ye Yifan. She thought that Ye Yifan was really not going to fight, but she didn't expect that she would lose as soon as he made a move.
But she had no choice but to accept it. Saying anything now would only make things worse and annoy her adoptive parents even more, so she could only nod in agreement.
Ye Yifan took her parents back to her grandfather's house.
Once inside, Ye Tingjun asked, "Fang Lanlan shouldn't be sick, right?"
Xiao He was truly surprised that the old man had already figured it out: "Dad, how did you know?"
Ye Jianxiao said, "You should be more careful in the future and pay more attention to people." He didn't want to say anything more; confirming his guess was enough.
Ye Tingjun said to Xiao He, "Let's stay here until the second day of the Lunar New Year, and then go directly to my parents-in-law's place so that Xiao Fan can also see her grandparents."
Xiao He had no objection: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Ye Yifan said, "Then let's go make the New Year's Eve dinner, it's getting late."
Ye Yizhou also learned about Fang Lanlan faking her illness; he never expected that the older sister would lie.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the house changed a bit, but no one mentioned Fang Lanlan. They just talked about the New Year. Although Xiao He had some emotions, she was relatively calm. After all, Fang Lanlan had lied to her, and Fang Lanlan could indeed go back to the Fang family. She should also spend the New Year with her family.
When the clock struck twelve, Hua Kai wished her parents a Happy New Year and then went out with her older brother to set off firecrackers. She looked at the moon and thought of Ye Yifan, wondering if he was setting off firecrackers at the same time.
Actually, Hua Kai was still a little worried about Ye Yifan, after all, Fang Lanlan was also in the provincial capital, and she didn't know if Ye Yifan would be wronged again.
Of course, Ye Yifan was also thinking about Huakai at this time. He envied Huakai because she had a warm home where there was no conflict and everyone was united and harmonious.
But both of them prayed to the moon in the sky, hoping that the other would be happy.
The next morning, Hua Kai went with her parents to Hua Zhongzhi's place to pay New Year's greetings.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Fourth Aunt Zhao Xiuzhi came out to greet them: "Eldest brother and sister-in-law are here, and all the children are here too. Come inside and warm up."
Hua Kai and the others wished Zhao Xiuzhi a Happy New Year and walked into the house. Just as they reached the door, Hua Wanhai came out. The younger ones also greeted Hua Wanhai with "Happy New Year, Fourth Uncle," and then went inside together.
The room was very clean today. Although Hua Chongzhi was lying down, she had changed into new clothes, and Zheng Shuzhen had also changed into new clothes. Zhao Xiuzhi was worried that she might wet the bed today, so she collected her urine in advance.
Hua Kai looked at Zheng Shuzhen and thought about how arrogant the old lady was when she first met her. Looking at her now, she was completely different.
When Zheng Shuzhen met Hua Kai's gaze, she looked away. She couldn't accept that these things, which had always been her playthings, had now soared to great heights.
After offering her New Year's greetings, Hua Kai sat down next to Hua Zhongzhi and said, "Grandpa seems to be in good spirits today. We'll go to the city for a check-up after the New Year."
Hua Zhongzhi said, "There's no need to go to the city. Just go to the countryside. I feel pretty good here."
Hua Kai said, "Then let's go to the village first and see what the village doctor says. If he says we need to go to the city, then we'll go."
Hua Zhongzhi nodded happily and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
