Ch. 101..110

Chapter 101 Xiaoyi, can you help me find her Lady Wen finished reading, and tears fell from her eyes. She grabbed her husband’s arm, “Xingye, go look for Youyou quickly, don’t let her do anything foolish!”

“I’ll have someone look for her right away!”

Wen Xingye said, his face solemn as he left the hospital room.

Hen Peizhu, however, was unmoved. She persisted, “Don’t think that her death will allow you to escape responsibility. All the losses suffered by Qi Hospital will be borne by your Wen Family!”

Lady Wen had no mood to argue with her, her mind was entirely focused on Wen Nianyou.

She got up to leave, “Yueqin, hurry, we must also go look for Youyou, we must find her.”

Lin Yueqin hurried forward to support her, “Madam, rest assured, I will definitely help you find the young miss!”

This search went from evening straight through to daybreak.

At half past seven in the morning, Lady Wen returned home to see her husband, who had also come back empty-handed, she fainted from heartbreak.

Lin Yueqin wailed as she pinched the philtrum and fed her water, until she woke her up again, “Madam, don’t panic, we’ll find more people to look for the young miss, she will definitely return safely!”

Lady Wen barely mustered some energy, “Right, we’ll look for more people to search, Youyou will be fine, she must be safe.”noveldrama

…

Dome Hospital.

Ye Chuyi was in her office watching the news.

Qi Hospital had already issued a public apology and released a statement promising refunds to the patients.

Even so, online criticisms were rampant, the label “scam hospital” inundating Qi Hospital.

Ye Chuyi looked at the news, her expression cold.

Refunds?

Qi Hospital wished things were that simple!

According to their previously promised policy of “tenfold compensation for counterfeit”, Qi Hospital should compensate patients ten times the fees!

In just three days, they had ill-gotten gains of two hundred million. If they dared to be so conscienceless as to empty the pockets of patients, then they should be prepared to have their entire hospital gutted in retribution.

She took out her phone and dialed a number, “Ivy, get a few media outlets to report about Qi Hospital’s ‘tenfold compensation’ policy. Also, help those scammed patients contact a few public welfare assistance organizations to oversee Qi Hospital fulfilling their tenfold compensation.”

“Okay, boss.”

Ye Chuyi was satisfied.

She hung up the call, just about to make herself some tea, when her phone rang again.

It was Lin Yueqin calling.

She acted as if she hadn’t seen it, not even picking up the call.

But if she didn’t answer, the phone kept ringing non-stop, as though determined to ring until her phone battery died.

Ye Chuyi answered with a frown, “What is it?”

“Xiaoyi, why aren’t you answering your phone? Nianyou’s in trouble, please help!”

“What happened to her?”

“She’s disappeared! Before she went missing, she left me a suicide note. Now Madam and Sir are searching everywhere for her, but we have been searching all night long, and we haven’t found a trace of her!”

“So, you want me to look for her?”

“Yes, the more people looking, the better our chances. Go out and search—maybe you’ll be lucky and find her.”

“I’m usually not that lucky, I won’t find her.”

“Madam fainted twice last night already. If we can’t find Youyou, Madam might break down first. She was always so good to you, won’t you help her at all?”

Ye Chuyi’s look became grave, “Madam fainted twice? How is she now? Where is she? Is she still at Qi Hospital?”

“How could she be in the mood to be in the hospital? She’s already gone home. Without finding Youyou, she won’t go to the hospital! Are you willing to help or not? You’re making such a fuss over a small matter, Madam truly wasted her affection on you!”

Lin Yueqin gave her a piece of her mind and then said, “Madam is right beside me listening, will you really not help?”

On the phone, Lady Wen’s gentle yet hoarse voice came through, “Xiaoyi, Youyou is missing. Have you seen her at all? Do you have any news of her?”

Ye Chuyi’s heart clenched at her weary voice, “Madam, I haven’t seen her.”

“Then, could you help look for her? If you find her, I will be deeply grateful. Xiaoyi, I’m begging you.”

Facing Lady Wen’s plea, Ye Chuyi couldn’t bring herself to refuse, “All right, Madam, I’ll help you look. When we find her, you must go to the hospital for a check-up, okay?”

“Okay, thank you Xiaoyi, I knew you were a good child.”

Chapter 102 Ye Chuyi Takes the Blame Again After hanging up the phone, Ye Chuyi sat silently on the chair, not bothering to make tea anymore.

Given her understanding of Wen Nianyou, that so-called last will was basically just for show.

The trouble she’d caused this time was too big to fix, so she used this method to dodge responsibility.

However, the person still needed to be found. Only by locating Wen Nianyou could Lady Wen be at ease to undergo surgery, and her condition could no longer be delayed.

After searching for a whole day, Ye Chuyi had checked all the places where Wen Nianyou might have gone and found no trace of her.

It wasn’t until evening that Lin Yueqin sent a message, “I think Youyou might have gone to a dangerous place, like the seaside Tianjian Bridge or something. Go there and have a look!”

Ye Chuyi sneered, knowing full well that Lin Yueqin wouldn’t have provided such an exact location for no reason. Wen Nianyou must be at Tianjian Bridge, waiting to be “coincidentally” found by her.

She drove to Tianjian Bridge.

The wind on the bridge was strong, and Wen Nianyou was standing at the edge, appearing to be ready to jump off.

Ye Chuyi approached, “Wen Nianyou, Madam is beside herself with anxiety and has fainted twice already. Her health was already poor, and yet you deliberately act out this drama to agitate her?”

Wen Nianyou turned around, “Don’t come any closer, or I’ll jump!”

“Still acting? There are no spectators here except for me. Who are you performing for? Yourself?”

“I’m not acting, I really don’t want to live anymore!”

“Next time you don’t want to live, don’t have Lin Yueqin send me a message exposing your location.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? What does her sending you a message have to do with me! Anyway, I’ve lost all face and now you’re happy, right?”

Having looked for her all day, Ye Chuyi’s patience had reached its limit. She stepped forward, grabbed Wen Nianyou by her clothes, and dragged her away.

As a result, Wen Nianyou just sat down on the ground, “I won’t leave, I don’t want to live, I want to jump into the sea, don’t stop me!”

Without a second thought, Ye Chuyi turned and left, “Go ahead and jump then; I’m leaving.”

Seeing that Ye Chuyi was really about to leave her behind, Wen Nianyou suddenly screamed, “Lin Chuyi, how dare you leave me here alone?! Aunt Lin will never spare you; she will beat you to death!”

Ye Chuyi turned a deaf ear and proceeded to descend from the bridge and get into her car.

Having had her fill of the wind, Wen Nianyou had been dawdling around outside for a whole day and night; it was about time.

If she missed this chance, she didn’t know when she would get another opportunity to save face.

She hurriedly climbed up from the ground, rushed down the bridge, opened the door of Lin Chuyi’s car, and got in, “After we get home, you must say it was you who held me back and stopped me from jumping into the sea.”

Ye Chuyi couldn’t be bothered to respond and stepped on the gas, heading straight for the Wen Family’s home.

By the time they reached the Wen’s, the sky was completely dark.

Lady Wen, seeing Wen Nianyou, cried and hugged her, “Nianyou, you’ve finally come back. Why were you so foolish? No matter how big the problem, your father and I are here to support you; don’t be afraid, everything will get better.”

Wen Nianyou, sobbing in her embrace, expressed extreme aggrievement, “Mom, I’m sorry, I’ve disappointed you and dad. I didn’t want to live anymore, but I just couldn’t bear to leave you and dad.”noveldrama

“Good child, it’s okay now that you’ve come home, everything’s alright now.”

“Sorry, Mom, I will never be so gullible again. I’ve learned my lesson from being deceived this time.”

Lady Wen held her, stroking her back gently, and asked softly, “Who deceived you? Nianyou, why didn’t you tell me when you were tricked?”

“This… It’s nothing, Mom. Being deceived was my own carelessness; don’t blame her. She’s actually a good person.”

Hearing this familiar line, Ye Chuyi had an ominous feeling.

True enough, the next moment, she saw Lin Yueqin kneel down with a thud, “Madam, it’s all my fault; I’ve let Madam down. The truth is, all this that Miss Nianyou has done was orchestrated by Chuyi behind the scenes!”

“Chuyi? What does this have to do with Chuyi?”

“Madam doesn’t know, but that vile Chuyi, stole Miss Nianyou’s phone and sent messages to Doctor Anxin in private, threatening Doctor Anxin! The chat logs you saw yesterday, they weren’t sent by Miss Nianyou; they were sent by Chuyi!”

Chapter 103 It wasn’t me who did it Lady Wen was shocked, “Did Chuyi send it? How could that happen?”

“Yes, she was the one who sent it! After she sent the message, she deleted all the chat records, then sneakily gave the phone back to Miss Nianyou, and immediately after, she told Miss Nianyou that Doctor Anxin had agreed to consult at Qi Hospital!”

“Miss Nianyou is too naive and too kind. She just believed Chuyi and even shared this good news with Qi Yunfan, which ultimately led to a disaster!”

“Madam, none of this is Miss Nianyou’s fault, it’s all Chuyi’s wrongdoing. I’m too ashamed to face you, Madam. Please fire me!”

Lady Wen was utterly dumbfounded, she looked at Lin Yueqin, then at Lin Chuyi, and finally at Wen Nianyou, “Youyou, is this true?”

Wen Nianyou cried and shook her head, “Mom, I oversimplified things. Don’t blame Chuyi; she’s actually been quite good to me. Just now, when I wanted to jump into the sea, she desperately tried to stop me! And don’t blame Auntie Lin either, Auntie Lin never favors Chuyi, she’s the fairest of all.”

Lady Wen sighed deeply, “Ah.”

Ye Chuyi stood aside, watching Lin Yueqin and Wen Nianyou act in concert, with a calm and indifferent expression on her face.

Surprised?

Not at all.

For twenty-six years, this type of scene had played out countless times.

No matter what trouble Wen Nianyou got into, what disgraceful act she committed, Lin Yueqin always found a way to put the blame on Chuyi.

At first, Lady Wen would ask her “Xiaoyi, is this true?” but later, Lady Wen stopped asking and simply embraced Wen Nianyou to comfort and console her.

Faced with such situations, Ye Chuyi had grown numb.

As a child, she had tried to defend herself many times, but each time, it brought about a severe beating from Lin Yueqin.

During her childhood, it was rare for her to be without injuries.

Later, as she grew older, she learned to be smart; she stopped defending herself, which meant Lin Yueqin didn’t beat her.

Lady Wen was a very gentle and kind person; even if she admitted to doing something, Lady Wen would not hit or scold her, but would instead gently teach her life lessons, things Lin Yueqin had never taught her.

Sometimes, she even longed for Nianyou to make a mistake and then have it blamed on her, because it was only during those times that she could be close to Lady Wen and listen to her tender and meticulous guidance.

However, after she came of age, Lady Wen no longer tutored her.

At the head of the room, Wen Xingye, the male head of the household, was not as gentle as the lady of the house; he looked furiously at Ye Chuyi and demanded, “Has the Wen Family not treated you well enough? Why did you steal Youyou’s phone? Why do you want to harm her like this?!”

Ye Chuyi lifted her head, “I didn’t steal her phone, nor did I harm her; the things you’re accusing me of, I didn’t do them.”

“You still dare to argue?!”

Wen Xingye’s roar echoed through the living room, “Everything was fine at home, Youyou was even about to get engaged to Qi Yunfan, and now you’ve ruined it all! Get out of the Wen Family and never set foot in it again!”

Lin Yueqin pulled herself up from the ground, yanking Chuyi towards the outside forcefully, “You vile creature, get out of here! Nothing good ever happens when you’re around! The young lady has been ruined by you!”

Ye Chuyi stumbled as she was dragged along, then turned her head to remind Lady Wen, “Madam, please remember to go for a check-up at the hospital, go to the Dome, stay away from Qi Hospital, their qualifications are not sufficient…”noveldrama

“Lin Chuyi, when will you ever stop? Madam knows very well, you don’t need to play the good person here, get out now!”

Lin Yueqin pushed her with a force, thrusting her out of the living room and then slammed the door shut, leaving her outside with a “bang”.

Lady Wen, about to speak up, was forced to swallow her words.

Why, in this household, was the one who cared most about her health the daughter of a servant?

Her husband was always busy with business outside year-round, her daughter was still young and unaware of worldly hardships, and the servants only said what sounded good, reassuring her that she wasn’t sick and was in good health.

Only Chuyi, every time she saw her, would remind her to get her health checked.

She truly cared about her and kept her in mind.

How could such a child possibly steal Youyou’s phone and harm her?

Chapter 104 This time, I will definitely make a profit The feeling of headache and nausea started to flare up again, and Lady Wen was in severe discomfort. She struggled to speak, “Yueqin, accompany Youyou upstairs to take a bath and change clothes. Come down for dinner afterward.”

“Yes, Madam.”

Lin Yueqin bowed her head in a respectful manner and accompanied Wen Nianyou upstairs.

After they entered the bathroom, Lady Wen whispered, “Xingye, I think there’s more to Doctor Anxin’s situation than meets the eye.”

Wen Xingye frowned, “What do you mean?”

“Xiaoyi has grown up under my watch; this matter shouldn’t have been her doing.”

“If it wasn’t her, then who? Who else would do something so foolishly fatal? You can’t possibly think it was our daughter? ”

Wen Xingye was extremely dissatisfied, “You’ve always favored that servant’s daughter. Every time she made a mistake, you defended her!”

“I’m not defending Xiaoyi. I know she truly is a good child; she couldn’t have done such a thing.”

“What can’t she do? Stealing, lying, fighting, truancy, early romance, she hasn’t learned anything good! She’s nowhere close to Youyou! How many times have I told you, a servant is just a servant; as long as we pay her well enough, there’s no need to concern ourselves with her child, but you never listen!”

Lady Wen still shook her head, “I won’t argue with you about the past, but this time, it couldn’t have been Xiaoyi.”

“How could it not be? Her own mother said it was her, and you still say it’s not?”

“Xiaoyi hasn’t been to our house in recent days. How could she have stolen Youyou’s phone? How could she be sending messages to Doctor Anxin using Youyou’s phone every day?”

What’s more, Doctor Anxin’s assistant said that she had called many times, but each time someone would hang up.

Her own phone had always been at home, by her side; only a few people had access to her phone.

Wen Xingye still didn’t believe it, “Youyou doesn’t just stay at home every day, she goes out. Lin Chuyi must have taken the chance to steal her phone when she left.”

Seeing that he didn’t believe her, Lady Wen stopped arguing, even she herself didn’t want to believe that her daughter was lying.

” Jinyu, let’s put an end to this matter. Don’t worry about it anymore; your health is what’s most important. We’ve found Youyou, and I’ll take you to the hospital for a check-up soon. Your well-being comes first.”

“Alright.”

“By the way, do you still have money? Give me some more.”

“Didn’t I give you thirty million last month?”

“Only thirty million, what can that do? That money is far from enough; I need another fifty million.”

Lady Wen shook her head, “You’ve already taken all the cash on hand; I don’t have that much cash now.”

“Don’t you still have a villa from your dowry? Sell it. Once I make money in business, I’ll buy you an even bigger and better one.”

Lady Wen hesitated, “Almost ninety percent of my dowry properties have been sold; only this villa is left, which is for Youyou’s dowry.”

“You don’t need to worry about Youyou’s dowry; I will prepare it for her. Right now, I’m short on funds for my business; sell the villa first to help out with this emergency.”noveldrama

“But, Youyou she…”

Wen Xingye sat next to her, wrapping his arm around her shoulder, “Jinyu, help me, just this once, and I’ll be sure to make a profit. You are the daughter of the Ye Family. To marry me, you even broke ties with your family. I promised I would give you a better life than you had at the Ye family’s. I just lack some capital now, but I’m about to succeed.”

Lady Wen, worn down by his persistence, finally agreed, “Alright, I’ll have someone sell the villa soon.”

Wen Xingye smiled, “I knew it. You are the person in the whole world who understands and supports me the most.”

Lady Wen didn’t smile. It wasn’t because her two billion dowry had been squandered, but because she had a splitting headache, as if thousands of needles were simultaneously pricking her brain.

Wen Xingye failed to notice her agony; having gotten what he wanted, he got up and headed for the kitchen, “This smells amazing. I’m going to see what’s in the kitchen today; I wonder if they’ve made your favorite drunken crab.”

Lady Wen propped up her head, watching his retreating figure. The doctor had told her that she couldn’t eat crabs, or any such ‘heat-inducing’ foods, but it seemed he had forgotten again.

 

Chapter 105: You Two Move Out After leaving the Wen Family, Ye Chuyi had initially planned to return to her own little nest, but Tang Jin had called her, asking her to come home for dinner.

So she turned her car around and headed for the Sheng Family’s home.

When she entered through the door, the living room was already filled with the aroma of food.

Tang Jin had already been discharged from the hospital, and she was recovering quite well; she could now walk on her own without any problem.

Upon seeing Ye Chuyi return, she went up to her and took her hand, “Xiaoyi has come back just in time, the food is ready, come and try Auntie Wang’s cooking.”

As she passed by Sheng Tingyuan, Tang Jin also took him by the hand, then placed Ye Chuyi’s hand into his, while she herself headed into the dining room first.

Sheng Tingyuan looked down at the hand in his palm.

The injury on the back of her hand had healed, leaving behind only three faint scars.

But her hand was very cold, colder than any other time he had held it.

He spoke indifferently, “Take good care of your hand, keep it warm, frostbite can affect the surgery.”

Ye Chuyi withdrew her hand, “It’s already May, there’s no way I’ll get frostbite on my hands.” He seemed to be more concerned about her career than she was.

“Then why are your hands so cold? Did you put your hand in the fridge to chill?”

“I have a cold constitution; I’ve been this way since I was born.”

Ye Chuyi said flippantly and then entered the dining room to sit down next to Tang Jin.

Sheng Tingyuan also came in and sat down beside her.

The dinner table was already set with a lavish meal, and Ye Chuyi knew that even though Tang Jin hadn’t fully recovered, she couldn’t eat much. This entire spread of dishes was prepared for her and Sheng Tingyuan.

She was indeed starving, and after Tang Jin started eating, she bowed her head and began to eat.

Tang Jin liked to watch her eat, because she wasn’t picky at all; whatever she was served, she would eat up and do so with relish.

Not only did she serve dishes to Ye Chuyi herself, but she also signaled Sheng Tingyuan with her eyes to take care of her during the meal.

Sheng Tingyuan casually served her some dishes, and soon discovered that Ye Chuyi truly wasn’t picky. She could even eat the pieces of ginger he accidentally scooped into her bowl without a change in expression.

Moreover, both he and his mother serving her made her visibly happy, genuinely happy, not just feigned for the sake of pleasing others.

It was strange that there were people in this world who liked others to serve them food.

How could he remember that she didn’t use to be like this?

Three years ago, at his mother’s birthday banquet, she had been there. At that time, she had been quite choosy, refusing to eat this or that, and it was hard to find many dishes that she would actually enjoy.

Could it be that she had been pretending all along, acting picky so as to make him dislike her and avoid an arranged marriage?

Ye Chuyi was indeed enjoying her meal, and she really liked it when her elders served her food.noveldrama

When she was a child, she could never eat her fill, always enduring hunger. Once, Lady Wen kept her to have a meal together, and perhaps because she ate too voraciously, Lady Wen, seeing her appetite, kept serving her food until she was full, and only then did she stop.

So, being served by Tang Jin made her think of Lady Wen, giving her a sense of warmth and happiness.

After dinner, Ye Chuyi joined Tang Jin for a walk in the garden to aid digestion.

As they walked, Tang Jin said, “Tingyuan, Xiaoyi, the two of you should move out.”

Ye Chuyi was startled, “What happened, Mom? Did I upset you? Is it because I ate too much at dinner?”

Tang Jin couldn’t help but laugh, finding her very adorable, “Having a good appetite is a blessing, it has nothing to do with how much you eat. It’s just that the two of you are disturbing my peace here. Tomorrow, you should go live in your new house. I see you really enjoy Auntie Wang’s cooking; I’ll ask her to go with you!”

Ye Chuyi was perplexed, as her mother-in-law didn’t seem unhappy at all; otherwise, she wouldn’t offer Auntie Wang to her.

She turned to look at Sheng Tingyuan beside her, and seeing that he had no reaction, she nudged him with her elbow.

Sheng Tingyuan, however, knew his mother’s thoughts. She felt like a third wheel and hoped that giving them their own space would help their relationship grow and they would hurry up and have a child.

When Ye Chuyi nudged him a second time, he held her elbow, “Just listen to Mom.”

Chapter 106: You Manage More Than My Teacher Since Sheng Tingyuan, as a son, had said so, Ye Chuyi didn’t say anything more and followed Tang Jin’s arrangements. After all, it didn’t matter where she stayed.

After their walk ended, under Tang Jin’s watchful supervision, she entered the bedroom with Sheng Tingyuan.

Even though she had once been forced to share a room with him, Ye Chuyi was still not used to it.

She didn’t want to share a bed with him, nor did she want to sleep on the floor, and asking him to sleep on the floor didn’t seem like an easy suggestion to make.

Ye Chuyi was struggling with the decision when she suddenly saw Sheng Tingyuan start to take off his clothes, prompting her to rush into the bathroom, covering her eyes.

After she finished her shower, she realized a severe problem—she had rushed in so hastily that she forgot to bring a change of clothes.

Wrapped in a bath towel, she cracked open the bathroom door and called out bravely, “Sheng Tingyuan, can you bring my clothes to me?”

After a moment, Sheng Tingyuan handed in her underwear and pajamas, his tone teasing, “Why did you run in such a hurry earlier?”

Ye Chuyi ignored him, took her clothes, immediately closed the door, and turned to get dressed.

After tidying up, she looked up and saw herself in the mirror—her face was red as an apple, and she looked embarrassingly coy.

How could she face anyone looking like this? Anyone who didn’t know better might think she liked Sheng Tingyuan!

She turned on the tap and washed her face with cold water for a while, not leaving the bathroom until her face was no longer red.

Sheng Tingyuan glanced at her, “I thought you planned to sleep in the bathroom tonight.”

“I take long showers, excuse me.”

Saying this, Ye Chuyi climbed straight into bed and lay down in the very middle.

Sheng Tingyuan didn’t look at her again; he went into the bathroom, and came out five minutes later.

Ye Chuyi was shocked, “You were so quick?”

“Mhm.”

Sheng Tingyuan responded indifferently, then walked onto the balcony, “It’s raining.”

Ye Chuyi’s eyes lit up, “Is it raining? That’s great!”

“You like the rain?”

“Yeah.”

“Why?”

“I always have good luck when it rains.”

No wonder, the last time it rained, she had been drenched like a drowned rat, yet she was happy about it.

Ye Chuyi didn’t hog the big bed any longer; she got up, tightened her pajamas around herself, ran to the balcony, and reached her hand out to catch the rain.

Turning his head to look at her, Sheng Tingyuan saw her porcelain-white face lit up with happiness under the light, her relaxed joy creating a contagiously heart-touching atmosphere, brightening the dreary mood he had because of the rainy weather.

It was only then that he realized how exceptionally soft and beautiful her profile was.

The members of the Ye Family were famously attractive, especially Ye Zhengrong, the Ye Family’s second master. In his youth, his looks were so stunning that they captivated everyone, male and female, young and old. Since he had too many suitors, which were overwhelming, he became the first among the Ye Family’s children to marry according to his parents’ wishes.

Ye Chuyi resembled Ye Zhengrong a lot, but as a girl, she was even more delicate and beautiful. However, it seemed she was as unaware of her own beauty as Ye Zhengrong had been.

She continued to tiptoe and stretch her arms out to catch the rainwater, as if the rain truly could bring her good fortune.

Sheng Tingyuan watched her for a while before he reached out, took hold of her wrist, and pulled her hand back in, “Be careful with your hands, the rainwater is cold.”

Ye Chuyi didn’t find the rainwater cold. Instead, she felt that the hand holding her wrist was very hot. She tried to pull away, “It’s not cold; I want to play a little longer.”

“No, you need to go to sleep. Having cold hands can affect surgeries.”

Ye Chuyi’s expression froze.

To think she had believed he was concerned about her, when in fact it was once again about her career!

Annoyed, she glared at him, “You’re more controlling than my teacher.”noveldrama

Sheng Tingyuan had already closed the window, “Go to sleep.”

“Oh.”

Ye Chuyi turned around and went back to the comfortable large bed.

Yet, Sheng Tingyuan put his clothes back on.

Ye Chuyi was puzzled, “What are you doing? Aren’t you going to sleep?”

“I’m stepping out for a bit; you sleep.”

“So, I have the bedroom to myself tonight?”

“Yes.”

Ye Chuyi almost laughed out loud, sure enough, her luck did turn better when it rained!

She watched as Sheng Tingyuan left the room, satisfied, then she turned off the light, stretched out her legs and arms, and soon entered dreamland.

Chapter 107: I Want Them to Be Unable to Produce a Single Pill! Before leaving, Sheng Tingyuan looked back at Ye Chuyi, who couldn’t suppress the smile creeping along her lips.

He shook his head lightly; she really didn’t want to share a bed with him. She was so happy to hear he was leaving, showing none of the awareness expected of a wife.

Thanks to her, his mother’s surgery was extremely successful and her health improved day by day, so he didn’t need to rush her to have children anymore.

Moreover, after witnessing her superb medical skills, he now felt that having children would hold her back. With her exceptional talent, she shouldn’t be constrained by pregnancy and childbirth – she should fulfill her own value and dreams.

He left quietly and drove back to his own villa.

This place, as Tang Jin mentioned, was the new home for him and Ye Chuyi.

In the past few days, Tang Jin had the place redecorated, even going so far as to ask Madam Ye about Ye Chuyi’s preferences to replace the furniture and dinnerware she liked.

The house, originally in his favored monochrome and cold style, had undergone a complete transformation into warm tones.

When he walked in, he almost thought he had entered the wrong place.

He hadn’t waited long when his subordinate arrived. “Young Master Ting, we have found out that Qi Hospital previously offended Jungle Pharmaceutical and suffered their blockade, losing their drug supply and their reputation plummeted drastically.”

“Qi Yunfan, eager to regain reputation and compensate for losses, heavily advertised that Doctor Anxin would consult at Qi Hospital. He bought a significant amount of advertising across various platforms, tying Doctor Anxin’s fame to Qi Hospital in order to rake in money.”

“In three days, Qi Hospital’s net profit was 2.6 billion, more than they made in the past year.”

“After Dome Hospital and Doctor Anxin filed a lawsuit against Qi Hospital, Qi Hospital apologized, but has still not refunded the deceived patients.”

“According to someone inside Qi Hospital, it was they who were deceived, and the deceiver was Qi Yunfan’s current girlfriend, Wen Nianyou. The Qi Family is now unwilling to pay a single penny and hopes the Wen Family will compensate for them.”

Wen Nianyou?

Sheng Tingyuan had a slight impression of her, but it wasn’t a favorable one.

He did not care about the dispute between the Qi and Wen families, but he wouldn’t tolerate anyone exploiting Ye Chuyi’s fame and abilities for fraud and profit.

She was now his wife and the top-notch doctor who had pulled his mother back from the brink of death.

His voice was cold as he spoke, “An apology alone is not enough. Doctor Anxin’s reputation isn’t something they can exploit at will. Jungle’s blockade of Qi Hospital wasn’t thorough enough, let’s lend them a hand. Cut off all of Qi Hospital’s drug supply channels, including international ones. I want Qi Hospital to be unable to produce a single pill in the future!”

“Yes!”

“Qi Hospital likes to buy ad space and sponsored articles?”

“Yes, the gossip news about the previous Young Madam, Jungle’s CEO, and you was also fabricated by Qi Hospital through sponsored articles.”

“Since they’re so wealthy, then let them spend every penny. Dome Hospital may excel in medical skills but is lacking in legal battles. Let our people take over this case and squeeze Qi Hospital dry.”

“Yes!”

After acknowledging with a “Yes,” his subordinate spoke again as he saw no further instructions, “Young Master Ting, besides us, someone else has taken the opportunity to strike at Qi Hospital.”

“Who?”

“Xiao Yue from Xiao Medical.”

“What has he done to Qi Hospital?”

“He officially reported Qi Hospital for building violations and the sale of overpriced unapproved imitation medicine. The planning department and the Drug Administration are now investigating Qi Hospital.”

Sheng Tingyuan was surprised. “Does he have a grudge against Qi Hospital?”

“Yes. Xiao Yue once supplied them with drugs when Jungle was blockading Qi Hospital. However, later on, for reasons unknown, they fell out. Xiao Yue not only repossessed the drugs he provided but also emptied Qi Hospital’s storeroom, leaving them to suffer in silence.”

Sheng Tingyuan nodded, “Don’t worry about him. Just do as I said and clear the negative impact Qi Hospital has caused Doctor Anxin.”

“Yes!”noveldrama

“Have you found the person you were looking for?”

“We’ve got a lead.”

“Can you confirm whether she’s still alive?”

“Among the people screened, some have been beaten to death, so… it’s not completely certain that she is alive.”

Sheng Tingyuan’s expression darkened.

He waved his hand, dismissing his subordinate, and then stood by the window, watching the torrential rain outside.

Chapter 108 I’ll Wait for You to Grow Up Childhood, a rainy day, a pavilion by the lake.

Both cheeks of the little girl were swollen high, with clear palm prints on her tender face.

She was still wearing an ill-fitting single-layer garment, with the rolled-up sleeves revealing faint bruises of green and purple.

A surge of pity welled up in Sheng Tingyuan’s heart, “Who hit you?”

“My mom.”

“Why did she hit you?”

“Miss pushed Little Pear Blossom into the lake, and after Little Pear Blossom was saved by an adult on shore, she pushed Miss into the lake.”

“What does that have to do with you?”

“My mom said it was my fault for not protecting the Miss properly, she also told me to tell Madam that I was the one who pushed Little Pear Blossom, not the Miss. When I refused to say it, she just kept hitting me.”

Sheng Tingyuan clenched his fists, “Come on, I’ll take you to the police.”

The little girl shook her head, “It’s not necessary, brother, I’m okay.”

After a long while, Sheng Tingyuan asked her again, “Where is the clothing I gave you? It’s getting colder, why aren’t you wearing it?”

“The Miss took it away, saying that I stole it, and she told my mom about me stealing the clothes. When I said it was a gift from you, she didn’t believe me.”

Another long silence followed.

“Little Hehua, come with me!”

“Brother, where to?”

“To my home, you can live at my place from now on, don’t go back home.”

“I can’t, brother, I can’t cause you trouble by going to your house. Besides, I have to wait at home for dad to come back. He said before he left, if I behaved well, he would definitely come back.”

Sheng Tingyuan grabbed her hand, rolled up her sleeve, and upon seeing each and every shocking bruise, he felt a tightness in his heart, “If you continue living at home, you might end up dead.”

The little girl gently covered his hand with her other one, “Brother, your hand is so warm, I wish I really had a brother like you.”

Sheng Tingyuan let go of her, took off his own coat, put it on her, and then took her hand again, “Come on, I’ll take you to buy some medicine.”

The little girl didn’t move, she lowered her head in a somewhat embarrassed and ashamed manner, “Brother, I don’t have any money.”

Sheng Tingyuan patted her head, “It’s okay, Brother has some.”

“Then, when I have money in the future, I’ll pay you back, brother.”

“Alright.”

Sheng Tingyuan opened the umbrella, took her hand, and went to the drugstore to buy ointment, then under the eaves of the drugstore, he carefully applied it to her face and arms.

He put the remaining ointment and money into her pocket.

He cautioned her, “Hide the medicine and money well, don’t let anyone find out.”

The little girl hurriedly refused, “I can’t, brother, you’ve given me too much money, I can’t repay it.”

“You don’t need to repay it now, wait until you grow up and can earn your own money, then you can start to pay me back slowly. Of course, you don’t have to pay me back if you don’t want to, brother doesn’t lack money.”

“I must pay it back, brother, rest assured, I will work hard to earn money when I’m big, and then I’ll give you a lot, a lot of money, let’s pinky swear!”

Sheng Tingyuan stretched out his finger and pinky swore with her, “Then I’ll wait for you to grow up.”

The little girl was very excited, “I want to grow up fast, I want to earn a lot of money!”

Sheng Tingyuan spoke softly, “It’s enough if you can grow up, you don’t need to earn a lot of money.”

“I must earn a lot,” she insisted, “I’ll earn money to spend on brother, on dad, on Little Pear Blossom.”noveldrama

She counted so many people but didn’t count herself, which made Tingyuan’s heart feel uneasy.

Like a treasure, she clutched the ointment in her pocket and naively asked him, “Brother, the ointment is expensive, right? Can you earn a lot of money by making medicine?”

“Mm, indeed, it earns money.”

“Then when I grow up, I will sell medicine!”

Chapter 109: Selling the House to Fund Wen Nianyou Jungle Pharmaceutical.

After having breakfast with Sheng Tingyuan and Tang Jin in the morning, Ye Chuyi didn’t let Sheng Tingyuan drive her to work and drove herself to Jungle instead.

After purchasing a new building, Jungle was recruiting and buying horses, and its overall strength had climbed a new step.

She sat in her office, dealing with all sorts of documents, glanced at the profit statements, and smiled softly.

Not bad, the profit for the last quarter reached 1.5 billion due to the development of a new drug, and the overseas market share had increased by a lot.

After finishing her work, she opened the news to take a look.

As expected, Qi Hospital was still today’s headline—countless patients were gathered at the hospital’s gates to assert their rights; some even seized Qi Hospital’s equipment and medicine, forcing the hospital to refund and compensate.

While looking, her cell phone rang.

It was a call from Wen Nianyou.

Ye Chuyi didn’t pick up and hung up directly.

A moment later, Wen Nianyou sent a message on WeChat: “How much money do you have? Transfer all of it to me.”

She was as if Ye Chuyi owed her money, bold and entitled.

Of course, Ye Chuyi wasn’t going to give her money; when she was a child, it was just her pocket money being stolen, but how could she not keep her own money safe now that she was grown up?

Without replying, Wen Nianyou sent over a video: “I’m starting a company, and your mom is already preparing to sell the house to support me. Don’t you have any thoughts about it? It’s a pity that I treated you so well before, and you’re just an ungrateful wretch, selfish and self-centered, no wonder you don’t have a single friend.”

The video showed Lin Yueqin showing the house to potential buyers, remarking how good the house was, and speaking about how urgently she wanted to sell it at a low price.

Ye Chuyi’s expression changed, and she immediately called Lin Yueqin: “Are you selling the house?”

Lin Yueqin sounded very impatient: “I’m busy, don’t call me if there’s nothing important! Did you make any money this month? If you did, transfer it all to me!”

“I transfer to you? Then you’ll just give it to Wen Nianyou? If you want to support her, don’t drag me into it. She’s a rich heiress; does she still need the servant’s daughter to send her money?”

“Nianyou is indeed a rich heiress, but she is far more sensible than you. She wants to start her own business to be self-reliant and won’t ask for money from the family anymore!”

Ye Chuyi scoffed, “She doesn’t ask for family money, but she asks you and me for money. Is this what you call self-reliant?”

“Don’t falsely accuse Nianyou here. She never asked me for money; I’m supporting her voluntarily. She said it counts as an investment, and she will give me dividends in the future.”

“You want to invest, that’s up to you, but the house is my dad’s, and you’re not allowed to sell it!”

“Your dad has already divorced me a long time ago, and he left without taking anything with him. The house is mine now, and I can sell it if I say so!”

After saying that, Lin Yueqin hung up the phone unceremoniously.

Ye Chuyi stood up with a cold expression on her face and grabbed her bag before heading out.

She drove her second-hand Volkswagen back home quickly.

The potential buyers had already left, but Lin Yueqin and Wen Nianyou were still there. Seeing her come back, Lin Yueqin looked at her with disgust: “Who let you come back? Didn’t you already have the ability to rent a place and live on your own? Why come back? Get out!”

“The house is not to be sold!”

Ye Chuyi’s voice was cold: “Wen Nianyou, don’t you feel ashamed of targeting my family’s house? You obviously don’t lack money.”

“Your family’s house?”

Wen Nianyou, as if she heard some kind of big joke, suddenly burst into laughter: “This house belongs to Auntie Lin, not you. Do you even have the right to say that?”

“This house isn’t worth much in total, not even as much as one of your bags. Even if it’s sold, it won’t help you much. Why don’t you sell your bags instead?”

“No way, those bags of mine are all limited editions and are already out of stock; I really can’t bear to sell them.”

“So you want to sell my family’s house instead?”

Ye Chuyi was quite angry: “Lin Yueqin, did you hear what she said? She can’t bear to sell her own bags, yet she’s letting you sell the house!”

But Lin Yueqin didn’t take it seriously at all: “What’s wrong with selling the house? This old house should’ve been sold a long time ago. Anyway, the Wen Family has a room for me, so I don’t need to come back here.”noveldrama

“You may not come back, but my dad will still come back to live!”

Chapter 110 This is my house Lin Yueqin curled her lips, “He’s in prison, how could he possibly come back.”

“He will come back, anyway, you can’t sell the house.”

“I’m just selling a house and you keep obstructing me, what’s your angle? Are you trying to get a share of the money? I’m telling you, there’s no way!”

As Lin Yueqin spoke, she stepped forward and pushed her, “Get out! You’re so ungrateful, I’ve never seen a penny from your earnings, and now you want to take a share of the money from the house sale? You ingrate!”

But Wen Nianyou stopped her, “Aunt Lin, don’t be angry. Chuyi’s job is just average; she doesn’t make much money. How could she have money to give you? She previously said her fiancé is the heir to Shengshi Group, but that’s probably just for show. I doubt she got any money from a wealthy young master.”

Had it not been for Wen Nianyou’s reminder, Lin Yueqin would have almost forgotten about her so-called fiancé.

She looked at Ye Chuyi suspiciously, “Where’s your fiancé? Why haven’t I seen him with you again? You haven’t been dumped, have you?”

Wen Nianyou also felt that Ye Chuyi had been dumped, “Sigh, wealthy families are not so easy to enter. Chuyi, think about it, if you can’t even enter the Qi Family’s door, how could you possibly enter the Sheng Family’s? That’s the richest and most top-tier wealthy family; why would they want a maid’s daughter? Stop dreaming. I’m advising you for your own good.”

Ye Chuyi looked at her indifferently, “You understand the hardships of marrying into a wealthy family so well, is it because you’re so scheming yet still couldn’t get into one?”

“What, Qi Yunfan doesn’t want you anymore? I remember just a few days ago he swore that he loved you and it had nothing to do with anyone else, right? How come you can’t bring him Doctor Anxin, and suddenly he doesn’t love you anymore?”

Wen Nianyou’s sore spot was hit, and her complexion turned awful, “Who says Brother Yunfan doesn’t love me? He said, once his dad comes back from abroad, we’ll get engaged!”

“Didn’t his dad come back yesterday? Are you engaged yet?”

“What? His dad is already back?”noveldrama

“You didn’t know? It seems your relationship with Qi Yunfan isn’t that great after all.”

Not only did Ye Chuyi know Qi Linjiang had returned to the country, but she also knew that because Qi Hospital had defrauded too many people’s money, Qi Linjiang was taken away by the police for questioning as soon as he landed.

However, there was no need to tell Wen Nianyou that.

As they were speaking, a figure suddenly appeared at the door.

Upon seeing the person, Wen Nianyou ran over joyfully and hugged his arm, “Brother Yunfan, you finally came to see me. I’m in the process of selling the house. Once I get the money, I’ll start a pharmaceutical company, and then I’ll exclusively supply you with medicine.”

Qi Yunfan pulled his arm away, without even a glance at Wen Nianyou, he walked straight to Ye Chuyi’s side, “Chuyi, isn’t this your home? Why do you want to sell it?”

“I’m also curious, this is my home; how come Miss Wen wants to sell it for money? Has her life become so desperate?”

Only then did Qi Yunfan look towards Wen Nianyou, his tone slightly cold, “Why do you want to sell Chuyi’s house? Besides this house, her family has nothing left. Do you want Chuyi to end up homeless? How can your heart be so cruel?”

Wen Nianyou, first ignored and then questioned in such a manner, felt both annoyed and jealous. Why was Qi Yunfan starting to be nice to Ye Chuyi again? His eyes held only Chuyi, no space for her!

She angrily dug her fingernails into her palm, yet her face showed an innocent and aggrieved look, “Brother Yunfan, what are you talking about? How can you say that about me? This house was never Chuyi’s to begin with—it’s my house.”
