Bai Li's expression changed slightly, and she forced a smile and said, "Huaizhi, I don't know what you mean."
She stretched out her hand helplessly, revealing a faint pink scar on her left wrist. She stared at the scar, as if talking to Ji Huaizhi, or as if muttering to herself: "I only remember that you once said that you would protect me forever." She looked out the window. Outside was the still lush green banyan tree, but it was winter after all, and some yellow leaves were falling from the tree, just like her, helpless.
Ji Huaizhi's eyes dimmed, and one could even sense a hint of coldness. He pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth and sighed, "Bai Li, everyone has to move forward. The Ji and Bai families have declined, and we are no longer the pampered and ignorant children we once were.
I will do my best to satisfy you with whatever you want, but there are some things that cannot be unlimited. We have all grown up, and before doing anything, we must think about the consequences and take responsibility for our actions.
He also followed her gaze and looked out the window: "Bai Li, I can't always pretend to be deaf and dumb, and I can't hurt her because of anyone."
After saying that, he stood up without hesitation and was about to leave.
For the first time, Bai Li felt panicked by Ji Huaizhi's attitude. She ignored the IV drip on her hand, jumped off the bed, and hugged Ji Huaizhi tightly from behind: "No, Huaizhi, don't do this to me."
Her body was cold, and her arms around him were so thin. She was so frightened that her body was trembling slightly. She sobbed and begged, "It's my fault. I tried to take advantage of the friendship between our two families to make you treat me better. I'm sorry..."
Ji Huaizhi looked at the pale hand at his waist. When his eyes touched the scar, he paused. He held her wrist and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Bai Li, the Ji family paid off what they owed the Bai family a few years ago."
Three years ago, Ji Huaizhi and Chen Gang and a few others had made a name for themselves in Yangcheng. At that time, Bai Li suddenly returned to Yangcheng with her parents. At that time, she was more flamboyant than she is now, and she "hinted" everywhere that she was Ji Huaizhi's childhood sweetheart, which soon attracted the attention of Ji Huaizhi's family.
At that time, Ji Huaizhi was fighting for power with others and invested a lot of effort and money in it. However, because Bai Li was kidnapped by the enemy, he had to give up, and as a result, he lost many brothers who had fought with him all the way.
After that incident, some people said that Ji Huaizhi was so angry for the beauty that he even ignored his career and brothers. However, only he and Chen Gang knew that he saved Bai Li in order to repay the favor owed by the Ji family.
However, no matter how great a favor is, there will always be a day when it must be repaid; no matter how deep a friendship is, there will always be a time when it deteriorates.
After saying this, Ji Huaizhi pulled Bai Li's hand away and left the ward without looking back.
When Bai Li heard what Ji Huaizhi said, her face changed. She knew that there were some things that she had lost forever.
She laughed at herself, glanced at the half-open ward door, and finally burst into laughter uncontrollably until she cried, until a cough forced her to stop.
Ji Huaizhi, do you think that if you cut off ties with me, you can get along smoothly with Li Yang?
What a pity, she just saw us hugging each other!

Li Yang asked about the hospital where Feng Mei was and rushed over without stopping.
If it was Li Jianhai and Li Yaozu who accompanied Feng Mei to the hospital, she would naturally not care about this matter, but the people who accompanied her were Sister Qian and her husband, and she couldn't keep bothering others because of her own reasons.
After arriving at the hospital, she remembered that Ji Huaizhi had sent Bai Li to the hospital. She wondered if they had come to the same hospital, so she asked the nurse, and she really found it.
Seeing the half-open ward door, she heard low voices coming from inside as she approached. She looked through the gap and saw Bai Li and Ji Huaizhi hugging each other.
The tall and handsome man, and the weak and crying woman behind him, anyone who sees them will praise them as a perfect match.
She expected some misunderstanding and forced herself to stand there for a while, but she saw with her own eyes that Ji Huaizhi not only did not push Bai Li away, but instead put his hand on her.
She didn't know how to describe her mood, sadness or disappointment, she just felt like something was pressing on her chest, stuffy and uncomfortable.
Her throat seemed to be grasped by someone, and she couldn't cry or complain.
He had just said he liked her last night.
This morning, he spent a huge amount of money to buy their house.
She believed in him and looked forward to their future with joy.
Li Yang stepped back step by step and turned away resolutely.

Li Yang arrived at Feng Mei's ward. Sister Qian and Lao Yao had already paid Feng Mei's examination fee and took her back after the examination.
Fortunately, the situation was not serious. It was just a strained injury to the waist muscles and ligaments, accompanied by a minor fracture. The doctor gave me some treatment and told me to go back and rest for a month and then come back for a checkup.
Feng Mei seized on this point and lay on the bed complaining bitterly. She even scolded Sister Qian and her husband and demanded compensation from them.
Sister Qian and her husband were so angry that they couldn't vent their anger, and just when they were feeling anxious, Li Yang came.
Li Yang thanked the two men, returned their medical expenses, and quickly let them go home.
When Feng Mei saw Li Yang taking out dozens of dollars without blinking, she became even more convinced that she would become rich after following Ji Huaizhi, and she clamored for Li Yang to give her some nutrition expenses or something.
Li Yang pulled out a chair and sat down. Estimating the time, Li Jianhai should be here soon, so he listened quietly to Feng Mei's insults, letting them go in one ear and out the other.
