When Li Congxiao left in a panic, he saw Qin Huiyin standing under the tree. Her expression froze, and then she left without changing her expression.

His leg injury hadn't healed yet, and he still limped when he walked. He wanted to leave quickly, and his steps were very chaotic, revealing that he was not as calm as he appeared.

Qin Huiyin entered the room and saw Xia Ruwan lying there with a blush on her cheeks, not knowing what she was thinking. Seeing her come back, her eyes became even more evasive.

"Did you give him the stuff?"

"I gave it to you." Qin Huiyin walked over. "I just saw Young Master Li. Did you two have another fight? I thought he left in a hurry."

Xia Ruwan's cheeks turned even redder.

"He saved me, why should I argue with him? What's there to argue about? I wanted to argue, but thinking about his kindness, I let him go." Xia Ruwan said.

"Speaking of which, Young Master Li's family is also married to the Rong family." Qin Huiyin said, "And the person you saved was his fiancée!"

Xia Ruwan frowned: "If you hadn't mentioned it, I almost didn't think of it."

"If you hadn't called off this marriage, you'd have been the Rong family's daughter-in-law. If he had married a Rong family girl, he'd have been the Rong family's son-in-law. If the Rong family had any important holidays, and you both had to appear at the banquet together, the scene would have been... unimaginably complicated. Fortunately, you called it off, otherwise you'd have been in such a mess for decades to come. Why don't you say anything?"

"Actually, I don't have any beef with him. Do you remember when he first came to town? We used to say he was good-looking."

"remember."

"If he wasn't from the Li family, we wouldn't hate him so much because of his sister Li Jingyan. Li Jingyan is Li Jingyan, but he doesn't look like Li Jingyan at all."

"Becoming his savior is different. I've started to consider him." Qin Huiyin said with a smile, "But you're right. Young Master Li is a decent man, indeed different from the Li family. As long as he keeps his distance from us, we can still be friends."

"Thank you, Yinyin." Xia Ruwan said, "If you hadn't been with me, I wouldn't have been able to get through this so easily."

"Wan'er, look at the people around you. There are many who need you and many who love you. Don't get stuck in a dead end, okay? Besides, we still have hope. I will find the medicine that Doctor Wei mentioned, and Aunt Xia will also find it. Let's just offer a high reward. There is strength in numbers. If we can't find it in one day, we will search for a month. If we can't find it in a month, we will search for a year. We will find it eventually." Qin Huiyin took her hand and said, "Didn't you say before that you didn't want to get married and didn't want to be restricted? Now it's good. Aunt Xia will definitely not force you."

Shuhui walked in with some pastries. "Miss Qin, these are freshly baked pastries from the kitchen. Try them and see how they taste."

"Thank you." Qin Huiyin took one, tasted it, and praised it highly, "Sweet but not greasy, delicious."

"Have the people from the Rong family left?" Xia Ruwan asked.

Shuhui first nodded, then shook her head.

"Did he leave or not?" Qin Huiyin was confused by her.

"President Rong and Miss Rong San left, but Young Master Rong Er stayed," Shuhui said. "Young Master Rong Er said he wanted to stay and take care of Miss Rong to make up for his debt to her. Madam agreed to give him a chance and let him stay."

"What chance is there?" Qin Huiyin wondered, "Didn't Aunt Xia cancel the engagement?"

Madam Xia walked in and said, "I haven't left yet."

"Why?" Xia Ruwan asked, "I asked Yinyin to return the things I had given him to show my attitude. I don't want this marriage. Mother should understand."

"Breaking off the engagement like this is too easy for them." Madam Xia, with her belly bulging, sat down beside Xia Ruwan's bed, looking at her with heartache. "My daughter has suffered so much and her appearance has been damaged, and the Rong family wants to let it go with just a few apologies. How can such a thing be so easy in the world? Didn't Rong Er want to stay and make amends? Then let him make amends."

"Mom..." Xia Ruwan moved and took a breath.

"Don't move," Madam Xia quickly stopped her. "It's my heart that's hurt. If I don't let go of this anger, this matter won't end. Don't worry about it. Just take good care of yourself."

"I just want to end this marriage as soon as possible and have my ties with the Rong family completely."

"If you still don't change your mind after you recover, I'll help you deal with it. You haven't even recovered yet, and they want to get away with it. Why? Okay, listen to me."

Xia Ruwan looked at Qin Huiyin helplessly.

Qin Huiyin spread out her hands, looking helpless.

"Mom, your belly is so big now. You should let your subordinates handle the business matters, or let Uncle He take care of it. Your health is the most important thing."

Madam Xia took her hand and rubbed it. "Mother knows. Don't worry about me. Take good care of yourself. Even if I have to spend all my money, I will find that herb."

Xia Ruwan was almost calmed down, so Qin Huiyin had to go back to the store to check. Sister Food City was a joint venture between the two of them. Now that one of the owners had gone bankrupt, the other needed to spend more time and energy to take care of the business.

Li Taohua and Tang Luwu saw her come back and came over to ask about Xia Ruwan's situation.

"Brother should have told you, right?" Qin Huiyin asked.

"Don't you know your elder brother's temper? He's as tight-lipped as a gourd, and you can't get anything out of him." Li Taohua said, "How is Wan'er?"

Tang Luwu brought tea: "Drink some water first."

"Where is my brother?" Qin Huiyin didn't see Tang Yichen.

"He had a bunch of people entertaining him, and he was dragged away again today."

"Brother didn't say anything, so I'll start from the beginning!" Qin Huiyin recounted the story of Xia Ruwan and the Rong family.

When she mentioned Li Congxiao, Li Taohua and Tang Luwu were both surprised.

"Young Master Li actually risked his life to go to the bottom of the cliff to find Wan'er. Could he like Wan'er?" Tang Luwu asked.

Li Taohua touched her cheek, looking thoughtful.

"There's another incident that just happened. Before it happened, I didn't think it was a romantic relationship. I just thought he was kind-hearted and would help when he saw injustice. After what happened today, I think Sister Luwu's suspicion was correct." Qin Huiyin recounted Li Congxiao's efforts to persuade Xia Ruwan. "To persuade Sister Wan'er, he told her about his most embarrassing past and showed her his ugliest side. If this kind of relationship isn't romantic, then there's no such thing as true love in this world."

"That kid from the Li family and Wan'er are impossible," Li Taohua said. "If he had those feelings for Wan'er, he wouldn't have revealed his shady past so clearly. Isn't he afraid that Wan'er will dislike him? He hasn't thought about it, which means he hasn't envisioned a future with Wan'er. Plus, with all the strife within the Li family's inner chambers, he needs an in-law like the Rong family to lend a hand, so his engagement with Miss Rong San won't be canceled."
