Chapter 204: Chapter 204: You Want Me To Slap Your Face? Alright! 2
At that moment, Lin Xiansi was overjoyed, believing that Mo Yinhe had accepted her proposal.
Indeed, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Who knew that in the next instant, Mo Yinhe would extend his hand and push, sending her falling straight from the third floor.
At that moment, everyone was utterly aghast. The entire world became eerily silent, the quiet so profound that only Lin Xiansi’s shrill screams, like a pig being slaughtered, could be heard.
Lin Xiansi’s parents fainted on the spot.
Fortunately, Lin Xiansi didn’t die. Someone had already prepared an airbag below. Lin Xiansi landed on the airbag. Her life was saved, but she fractured her right leg and needed three months of recovery before she could walk again.
Because of this, Mo Yinhe was even detained for a month. But he didn’t care at all. After pushing Lin Xiansi, he had calmly called the police to turn himself in, then strode into the police station with a commanding presence, seemingly proud of his actions.
Since then, no woman dared to follow in Lin Xiansi’s footsteps, pressuring Mo Yinhe with death.
Mo Yinhe was devoid of feelings. If you said you’d rather die, he would indeed push you off a building, sending you to your death.
This kind of man is too terrifying!
Lin Xiansi, having escaped death, from that point on, hated Mo Yinhe! The love was gone, but the hatred was very real.
Recently, Si Mingjing had been involved in online romance rumors with Mo Yinhe, yet Mo Yinhe hadn’t taken any action against her. This was why Lin Xiansi viewed Si Mingjing with such displeasure.
Why was it that my proposal failed and I got pushed off the building, yet you can become the Ye Family’s honored guest?
Whether it’s academics or family background, I, Lin Xiansi, can easily outdo you, Si Mingjing!
Mrs. Lin heard her niece’s harsh tone and said seriously, "Xiansi, this is a guest I’ve invited."
"Eldest Aunt, I’m also thinking of your health. Look at her; she’s not even older than me. What kind of illnesses can she treat? She just happened to meet a somewhat skilled Traditional Chinese Medicine master and learned some basics. Now she’s come to Earth to take her master’s achievements as her own, showing off everywhere, claiming to be a Divine Doctor. In this day and age, those who are good at self-promotion are often incompetent, while those with real abilities are typically very low-key. Although you’ve been sick for many years, you’ve always managed to control it with Western medicine. You were born into wealth and fortune, so don’t let this woman from Prison Star ruin your luck. What if something bad happens? How would Eldest Uncle cope?"
Lin Xiansi was sharp-tongued and mean-spirited, chattering away as if every word was in consideration of Mrs. Lin’s well-being.
Ye Xinguang frowned, very displeased.
Seeing her cousin’s expression, Mrs. Lin knew things had gone awry. Her voice grave, she said, "Xiansi, shut your mouth!"
But Lin Xiansi continued, "Eldest Aunt, don’t dismiss good intentions. Honest advice is often hard to swallow."
Mrs. Lin became furious. "Get out, or I’ll ask the butler to throw you out! This is not a place for you to act up!"
Angered, Lin Xiansi stomped her foot furiously and left.
Ye Xinguang scoffed, "Your niece is becoming more and more spiteful. From the start, when she tried to force Yinhe into marriage by jumping off the building, I knew she was trouble."
While Si Mingjing was focused on taking the pulse, she lifted her eyelids slightly upon hearing this.
There’s more to this story?
She now understood the source of Lin Xiansi’s hostility towards her.
Caught in the crossfire without doing anything.
All because Mo Yinhe was a magnet for trouble.
Mo Yinhe was in the study at home, discussing matters with his father. He was lounging lazily on the sofa, looking dignified and composed, when his nose suddenly tickled, and he sneezed twice.
"ACHOO! ACHOO!"
Ye Junqing looked at his son. "Caught a cold?"
"It might be my wife missing me." Mo Yinhe said shamelessly, his expression perfectly serious.
Ye Junqing snorted and didn’t respond.
「Lin Residence.」
Ye Xinguang saw a slight change in Si Mingjing’s expression and said, "Don’t worry. My Yinhe has very high standards. How could he agree just because someone pressured him?"
Ye Xinguang then recounted the incident.
Si Mingjing was surprised. "He just... pushed her down?"
Ye Xinguang defended her son, "There was an airbag already prepared downstairs. Yinhe knew what he was doing. He just wanted to crush Lin Xiansi’s hopes. My son is very self-respecting; if he isn’t interested, he wouldn’t submit even if you put a knife to his throat. He did this as a warning to others."
Mo Yinhe is ruthless! Si Mingjing thought.
"Cousin, I’m so sorry for the embarrassment," Mrs. Lin said, truly regretful.
Ye Xinguang said, "It’s nothing to me, but Mingjing was wronged. I’m particularly fond of this child. My Yinhe is pursuing her, and she’s going to be my daughter-in-law in the future."
Ye Xinguang was making her stance clear; she was very protective.
Si Mingjing was like her own daughter; she had watched her grow up. Although her appearance had changed, Ye Xinguang still cherished her.
Mrs. Lin was surprised and gave Si Mingjing a deep look.
"Cousin, why didn’t you say so earlier? I didn’t prepare a welcoming gift."
Mrs. Lin then said to Si Mingjing, "My dear niece-in-law, I’m truly sorry about today. I invited you here to treat me, but instead, you were treated unfairly."
"It’s alright, Mrs. Lin. I am indeed very young."
Si Mingjing felt so awkward. She wasn’t even married to Mo Yinhe yet, and people were already calling her niece-in-law.
After taking the pulse, she wrote a prescription for Mrs. Lin.
"Take this prescription and prepare the medicine. Drink 200 ml of the decoction once a day. After taking it for half a month, you should be healed."
Then, she took out the pre-prepared powdered tree bark from her medical kit and said, "Get the other medicines from an herbal shop. I have already measured out this particular medicine for you. There are fifteen packets in total. Add one packet to each decoction. After half a month, I’ll come back for a follow-up examination."
Mrs. Lin nodded in agreement.
She took out a check for five hundred thousand and handed it to Si Mingjing.
Si Mingjing said, "You can give this to me after you’ve recovered."
Mrs. Lin, a gentle person who spoke softly, said, "I trust my cousin; her recommendation is undoubtedly correct. Please take this check. It’s a token of my trust and also my apology. Besides, I didn’t even prepare a welcoming gift for you. Yinhe would surely blame me, his aunt, in the future."
Ye Xinguang also nodded. "Mingjing, take it for now."
Si Mingjing did not hesitate anymore. She believed in her medical skills and was confident she could cure Mrs. Lin. This was payment for her labor, and she accepted it with a clear conscience.
Mrs. Lin offered to have them stay for lunch.
Ye Xinguang didn’t refuse. The sisters hadn’t spent time together in a long while and had endless things to talk about.
Si Mingjing sat beside them, watching television.
Soon, Lin Xiansi returned, bringing along Old Lady Lin, Mrs. Lin’s mother-in-law.
Si Mingjing’s beautiful eyes shifted slightly. So, that woman had gone to call for reinforcements?
Mrs. Lin also sensed the ill-intent from the newcomers and stood up to greet them. "Mother, why have you come?"
"I heard a Divine Doctor has arrived at home, one who can completely cure your cancer. And that she can cure me with just three doses of medicine—is this true?"
Old Lady Lin had been completely deceived by Lin Xiansi. Old Lady Lin’s entire face was swollen, and her throat was swollen as well; she was just about to go to the hospital. Lin Xiansi had told Old Lady Lin that a Divine Doctor had come to their house and could cure her with just three doses of medicine, so Old Lady Lin had come.
Ye Xinguang and Mrs. Lin exchanged glances. This was a clear attempt to set her up for a fall by overpraising her!
