Ye Qingqing gently placed Jingjing on the bed, face down, and carefully covered her with the blanket. Seeing her daughter's pale face, she couldn't help but sigh, feeling extremely worried.
"Mom, Jingjing is too bold and wild. What are we going to do with her in the future?"
Ye Qingqing was genuinely worried. If Jingjing were a boy, she wouldn't be worried at all, but Jingjing was a girl. This patriarchal society wasn't so kind to women, especially to those women who were stronger than men. It was full of thorns, and she worried that Jingjing would be hurt by those thorns in the future.
"What's there to worry about? Our Jingjing is beautiful, capable, and skilled in martial arts. She'll only live a better life than others." Lin Shufang wasn't worried at all. Compared to being weak and timid, she would rather her granddaughter be bold and wild, at least she wouldn't be bullied.
"I don't think any man would dare to marry her," Ye Qingqing joked.
"How could that be? Only a cowardly man wouldn't dare to marry her. Such a man is not worthy of my granddaughter. My granddaughter is a phoenix, and only a man of exceptional talent can be worthy of her. Don't worry, Jingjing will have a good marriage."
Lin Shufang comforted Ye Qingqing, expressing her unwavering confidence in her granddaughter. She said that with her beauty, ability, and good family background, how could she possibly not be able to get married?
Moreover, it's not a big deal if you don't get married. The law doesn't require women to get married. So many famous women are unmarried, and it doesn't affect their lasting fame at all.
Ye Qingqing only worried for a while. She and Lin Shufang had the same idea: at worst, she wouldn't get married. Anyway, she earned enough money to ensure her daughter could live a life free from financial worries.
Two days later, An'an had fully recovered, but she still received ten lashes. Unlike her older sister, she wasn't tough and started wailing before the lashes even touched her. After ten lashes, she was crying her eyes out, which disgusted Lu Mo so much that he wanted to give her ten more lashes.
Compared to his older siblings, the younger son is too spoiled and has a more cunning personality. He needs to be disciplined more strictly, otherwise he will definitely turn into a slick, good-for-nothing scoundrel in the future.
The siblings have been going through a lot of hardship these past few days. They both walk with a limp, have to stand to eat and do their homework because sitting hurts, and can only sleep on their stomachs because it hurts terribly to the touch.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, Lin Shufang is busy preparing for the holiday every day, while Ye Mingcheng and Ye Qingqing are busy with Ye Tong's wedding. Everyone is running around in a flurry of activity.
One morning, Dong Siyue called, sounding somewhat embarrassed, "Qingqing, could you please come over for a bit? Hongming isn't feeling well. I know it's almost Chinese New Year, and I'm really sorry, but I can't find anyone else..."
What exactly happened?
Ye Qingqing didn't mind going to Hong Kong; it would only take a few hours round trip, and she was also interested in Li Hongming's affairs.
"The pills were switched by Madam Li about two years ago. Hongming didn't notice it until recently, when his health was deteriorating. He thought he was nearing his end and didn't suspect Madam Li. He only realized it recently."
Dong Siyue gave a rough outline, but the truth is definitely more complicated. She still doesn't understand. Everyone in the Li family wants Li Hongming dead. Fortunately, Li Hongming's company is full of his own people, otherwise the company would have changed hands long ago.
Fortunately, she arrived in time; otherwise, Li Hongming wouldn't even have someone to take care of him.
"I'll come as soon as possible and contact you then."
Ye Qingqing didn't refuse; saving a life is a virtuous deed, especially when it's someone she knows.
Lu Mo was too busy with his company to leave, so Ye Qingqing brought Xiao Zhu along. It was time to give her eldest son some experience.
