Walking up to Li Sijie, Li Zhengyang smiled faintly, polite but distant, "Sijie, thank you so much for your help with Yun Gang's surgery. If you have any requests, feel free to tell us. As long as it's within our capabilities, we won't treat you unfairly."
Upon hearing this, Li Sijie quickly shook her head, "Mom and Dad, I don't have any special requests. I'm just doing things for my family, so there's no need for anything in return."
Ye Wenyue thought for a moment, then took an envelope from her bag and handed it to Li Sijie, "This is five hundred yuan, is that enough?"
“Mom, I…” Li Sijie frowned, looked at the envelope, and took a step back, clearly unwilling to accept it.
Seeing this, Ye Wenyue raised an eyebrow and said, "Then give me a thousand, I'll go get the money for you later?"
Li Sijie felt that the money was an insult to her, and she asked Ye Wenyue with a wronged expression, "Mom, in your eyes, do you really think that I saved Third Brother's life because of this money?"
Ye Wenyue remained silent, simply watching her quietly.
That look left Li Sijie at a loss for what to do.
She had been Ye Wenyue's daughter for over twenty years, so she knew a thing or two about her temper.
It's obvious that Ye Wenyue wants to resolve this matter with money, which is definitely not what Li Sijie wants.
Li Sijie looked at Ye Wenyue and slowly shook her head. "I will not take this money no matter what. If you really ask me what I want, I only hope that we can go back to the way things were before and be a family with you."
“Lately, every day after work I feel all alone in my dorm. I really miss the happy times I had with you all at home…”
At this point, Li Sijie choked up and couldn't continue. She looked at Li Zhengyang and Ye Wenyue with expectant eyes.
That look was spot on; most people might have actually believed it.
But as Ye Wenyue herself said, she will never like the people she doesn't like.
Ye Wenyue completely ignored what Li Sijie had just said and then asked her, "If you don't want money, do you have any troubles that you need us to help you with? Just tell me, and I will do my best."
Li Sijie was stunned for a moment, then she understood what Ye Wenyue meant.
Ye Wenyue meant that she must have wanted something in return for going to such lengths to save Li Yungang.
In fact, Ye Wenyue really understands Li Sijie. She does have something she wants, but everyone knows what she wants, and Ye Wenyue will not agree to it.
But when Ye Wenyue pointed it out so directly, Li Sijie became angry and embarrassed. She frowned and looked at Ye Wenyue, "Mom, why do you distrust me so much? Am I really that untrustworthy?"
She bit her lip and said again with absolute certainty, "I said I saved my third brother because he is my third brother. I never thought about asking for any reward."
In fact, Ye Wenyue had used up all her patience in what she had just said to Li Sijie. She hoped that Li Sijie would know when to stop and accept the money, or at least make some kind of request.
Then this matter is considered settled.
But Li Sijie insisted on appearing so helpful and selfless, so Ye Wenyue didn't want to argue anymore. She nodded and said, "In that case, I'll thank you on behalf of Yun Gang."
After saying that, Ye Wenyue pointed to the ward and said to Li Sijie, "You won't have to bother with Yun Gang anymore. With Yun Jun and Yun Feng here, he can be well taken care of. If there are any problems, we can ask the attending physician, Dr. Zhang, to solve them."
"Go back to work. Today isn't the weekend, it's not your day off."
"Mom, I..." Li Sijie was stunned by Ye Wenyue's series of actions.
She risked her life to save Li Yungang, and all she got in return was a verbal thank you?
If I had known it would be like this, I would have accepted the thousand yuan.
It's obvious that Li Sijie will not accept her, no matter what.
Playing the victim won't move Ye Wenyue or the Li family.
If this main road is blocked, she may have no choice but to take a shortcut.
Ye Wenyue, who was opposite her, also noticed Li Sijie's regret and shook her head secretly.
Sure enough, Li Sijie thought exactly the same thing as her. Her purpose in saving Yun Gang was definitely not to seek no reward, but rather because she had too many other things to ask for.
After several attempts, Li Sijie finally gave up on all hope this time and told her directly, "Sijie, let's be frank. Others may not know who you are, and Yun Gang is also kept in the dark, but I know very well that I don't like you, and I will never accept you back home, no matter what. Give up on this idea, or you'll only hurt yourself."
Ye Wenyue's resolute tone made Li Sijie feel both ashamed and angry, but she dared not vent her anger.
Even if she takes a shortcut, she will eventually need Ye Wenyue's acceptance and recognition, so she should try to avoid a falling out if it's not necessary.
Ye Wenyue paused for a moment, then continued, "As for you saving Yun Gang this time, consider it compensation for the twenty years we raised you. We'll be even from now on."
After saying that, Ye Wen turned around and called to Li Zhengyang behind him, "Zhengyang, let's go."
Li Zhengyang nodded, gave Li Sijie a serious look, and then followed her.
Li Sijie was left alone, her eyes fixed on the direction in which Li Zhengyang and his wife had walked away.
Gradually, the hatred emanating from his eyes became so intense that no one dared to look him in the eye.
After returning to the shop, Yun Duoduo didn't say much about these things.
As for her hospitalization, only her family knew about it, so they simply kept quiet about it.
The next day, Yan Junting returned from the army, saying that he had investigated Li Sijie's whereabouts the day before.
Li Sijie did indeed work at the military base all day yesterday and didn't go out until the evening.
As for Li Sijie and Nurse Sun, no connection was found.
Just then, Nurse Sun was investigated by the hospital, and she admitted to it.
Her brother was taken to the police station and admitted that he had been holding a grudge against Li Yunfeng because he was dissatisfied with the punishment Li Yunfeng had given him before, so he stopped Li Yunfeng.
Nurse Sun's brother is guilty of intentionally harming others. As for how long he will remain in this situation, it depends on his attitude towards admitting his mistake.
He can't escape for at least three years, and that's what he deserves.
As for Nurse Sun, she didn't do anything illegal, but she violated the nursing code and was punished by the hospital. She can no longer work as a nurse.
What was originally a promising future has been ruined.
Since there was no evidence to prove that she had any relationship with Li Sijie, Yun Duoduo stopped focusing on her.
Anyway, the Li family has recently prevented Li Sijie and Li Yungang from meeting.
The Li family had already taken precautions, and with Ye Wenyue in charge, Yun Duoduo wasn't so worried.
