"I heard that Madam Li is paralyzed from the waist down, so it shouldn't be so easy for her to recover, right?" Ye Qingqing said tactfully.
Strictly speaking, high-level paraplegia is irreversible, and Mrs. Li will be bedridden for the rest of her life. It will be very difficult for her body to recover.
Dong Siyue said sarcastically, "Madam Li's condition isn't that serious. She's not paralyzed from the waist down. She's slowly recovering now. I heard she can already sit up, and it's only a matter of time before she can stand up again."
Ye Qingqing looked surprised. "Then why are there rumors outside that Madam Li is paralyzed from the waist down?"
Both Yip Shun-mei and Miao Tian-xiang believed that Mrs. Li was paralyzed from the waist down, which means that this is probably the prevailing opinion in Hong Kong. It can't be that someone deliberately spread rumors!
"It was Madam Li herself who spread the word, deliberately exaggerating her illness to make others think she was in a terrible state."
Ye Qingqing frowned slightly. It seemed that this Madam Li was quite shrewd. She wasn't the type to passively accept things, but as the legal wife, it was understandable that she would use some means to deal with her husband and his mistress.
However... Ye Qingqing really couldn't bring herself to hate a mistress like Dong Siyue.
So what are your plans for the future?
Dong Siyue chuckled softly, the sorrow in her eyes fading considerably. "I want to become stronger. Of the six people who harmed my sister back then, only one is dead, and the other five are still at large. I'm not reconciled."
Ye Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, "You want to take revenge on them?"
Dong Siyue nodded, "Although they are not the main culprits, they are indirect murderers who killed my sister. Why should they continue to live in the light of day? Why should they live with a clear conscience!"
“You can’t do anything illegal, and you can’t follow in your mother’s footsteps,” Ye Qingqing advised.
Dong Siyue shook her head. "Don't worry, I won't risk my life for someone else's. I've seen through this dog-eat-dog world. The weak have no right to demand justice, which is why I need to become strong. Then I'll overturn my sister's case and make those five people live the rest of their lives in condemnation, their consciences forever tormented!"
Ye Qingqing hesitated for a moment, then said, "If you want to become stronger, you shouldn't study medicine, after all..."
Doctors can save lives, but that's not a shortcut to revenge. Dong Siyue is better suited to study finance, which would allow her to amass wealth quickly.
After all, in today's society, wealth is still the sole criterion for judging power.
“I understand what you mean. I’ve been studying finance on my own, and I’m studying medicine because Li Hongming is in poor health, and I want to take better care of him,” Dong Siyue explained.
Ye Qingqing was stunned for a moment, looking at Dong Siyue in surprise. Was she really not as heartless as she claimed, with no feelings for Li Hongming?
Dong Siyue sensed Ye Qingqing's doubts and explained, "I just want to repay a debt of gratitude. Li Hongming almost had a heart attack last year, and he also has other hidden illnesses."
"Is Mr. Li's health really that bad?" Ye Qingqing frowned. Li Hongming looked to be in good spirits and didn't seem like someone who was seriously ill!
Dong Siyue nodded, "He has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, gout, and a bad heart. It's not outwardly apparent, but he's carrying a time bomb that could explode at any moment."
Ye Qingqing sighed, "You're very thoughtful."
It's no wonder that Miao Tianxiang would treat Dong Siyue differently after she became a mistress.
If Dong Siyue hadn't experienced family misfortunes, with her talent and beauty, she probably would have had a brighter future. But that's not necessarily true. After all, Li Hongming did broaden Dong Siyue's horizons and allowed her to focus on her studies without worrying about food or clothing. There are pros and cons to everything!
