When Xing Fei heard her mother say that, she immediately felt much less pain all over her body.

The next morning, Chen Shihui arrived in Fengcheng.

It was just seven o'clock in the morning, and Mu Jinyue had only just woken up. After tidying up a bit, she started making breakfast for everyone in the kitchen, while the elderly couple were tending to their vegetable garden in the yard.

"Uncle, Aunt, I'm here!" Chen Shihui's clear and loud voice broke the peaceful and beautiful morning.

The elderly couple from the Mu family assumed that Chen Shihui had heard about Xing Fei's injury and had come so early on purpose, so they quickly invited her into the house and told her about Xing Fei's current situation.

Chen Shihui pretended not to know anything and comforted the two elderly people, "Feifei is always clumsy at home. It's nothing if she falls because she's not careful when she walks."

Ye Xinghe was awakened by the noise outside and came downstairs. She was a little surprised to see Chen Shihui. She thought Xing Fei would take this opportunity to stay here for a few more days, but she didn't expect her mother to be notified so quickly to pick her up.

"Aunt Chen, you're here so early? Are you here to pick up Sister Xingfei?" Ye Xinghe rubbed her eyes, looking like she hadn't woken up yet, and walked up to her. "Sister Xingfei might not be awake yet, would you like to go up and check on her?"

Chen Shihui looked at Ye Xinghe with a smile, "Auntie came to see your grandparents. I just heard about your sister Feifei's fall and injury, so I'm going up to check on her now."

When Chen Shihui pushed the door open, Xing Fei was leaning against the headboard, listening intently to the sounds outside. The swelling and pain in her body had kept her from sleeping much all night; she would wake up in pain if she accidentally touched anything.

Seeing her daughter in this state, Chen Shihui couldn't help but feel sorry for her. However, she also wanted Xing Fei to take this opportunity to get close to Mu Jinyue and help her obtain the Mu family's "tribute to the motherland" project proposal.

She brushed a strand of hair from Xing Fei's forehead and said with tears in her eyes, "My dear daughter, Mom knows you're in a lot of pain right now. But if you want to join the Ye family, this is your chance."

Chen Shihui looked at Xing Fei, her gentle gaze suddenly turning serious and firm. "Mom can't stay in the room for too long. You should think about it quickly."

Xing Fei frowned, nodded as if she had made a great decision, and then picked up a pillow and bit off a corner of it.

Chen Shihui moved quickly and skillfully. She grabbed Xing Fei's right wrist, pulled and twisted it, and a sharp pain shot through her. She had dislocated her own daughter's wrist with her own hands.

Chen Shihui took two bottles of medicine out of her bag and said softly, "I'll go downstairs first. These two medicines are for pain relief. Use these to bear with it for now. Come downstairs in half an hour."

Xing Fei was in so much pain that she couldn't even lift her head. She let out a soft groan to indicate that she understood.

Chen Shihui walked downstairs and said softly to the Mu family elders, "Feifei hasn't woken up yet. I took a look, and it's nothing serious, just some superficial injuries. She'll be fine after some rest."

"I'm going on a long trip today, and I thought I'd stop by to see you and your parents before I leave. I'll be gone in half an hour." Chen Shihui glanced at her watch and turned to Mu Jinyue, saying, "Jinyue, I'll have to trouble you to take care of my Feifei."

Mu Jinyue was carrying breakfast out of the kitchen when she rolled her eyes at her and pretended to be angry, saying, "What are you talking about? Didn't I spend enough time taking care of Xing Fei when she was little?"

After saying that, he invited her to come and have breakfast together.

A short while later, Xing Fei came downstairs with a worried look on her face. The moment she saw her mother, tears instantly streamed down her face, as if she had suffered a great injustice at the Mu family.

She threw herself into Chen Shihui's arms, choking back tears, and said, "Mom, my wrist hurts so much."

Seeing this, Mu Jinyue's eyes were filled with worry.

Chen Shihui patted Xing Fei's back and gently comforted her, "Okay, okay, be strong. It's your own fault for being careless. Aunt Mu will take you to the hospital for a check-up later."

After breakfast, the group drove to Fengcheng Hospital. After taking X-rays, the doctor said it was a minor dislocation of the wrist and put it back in place in less than a minute.

The doctor instructed Xing Fei to continue wearing the bandage and to come back to the hospital for a follow-up examination in a month.

Ye Xinghe went along too. During the trip, a remark from the doctor caught her attention: Xing Fei's wrist frequently dislocated.

After leaving the hospital, the group returned to the Mu family home and stayed until 3 p.m. Mu Jinyue was no longer in the mood to stay and was worried about Ye Xingyu at home, so she decided to return to Jiangyang.

On her way home, Ye Xinghe sent Ye Xingchen a message: "The mentally ill person is coming to stay at my house. Do you want to go to Jianglan Garden to hide?"

I waited for ages but didn't get a reply.

Not long after they arrived home, Ye Xingchen returned. He was about to ask why they didn't stay in Fengcheng a few more days when he looked up and saw Xing Fei sitting in the living room. Suddenly, his expression changed, and annoyance filled his entire face.

He turned his gaze to Ye Xinghe, only to see her pout and point helplessly at her phone.

Ye Xingchen's phone was dead, so he didn't see the message. He walked into the living room, completely disregarding Xing Fei's presence, and said bluntly, "Mom, can I go live outside? Now that there's another injured person at home, it feels like I'm just going to work."

Mu Jinyue refused sternly, "No, you're not allowed to go anywhere. After dinner, check on Feifei and see how serious her injury is."

"My eyes aren't X-rays, I can't see a doctor, I have to go to the hospital." Ye Xingchen said, then turned and went upstairs. He didn't come down for dinner that night, and he and Ye Xingyu ate in their room.

Ye Xinghe led Xing Fei to the guest room on the second floor, right below her bedroom. She gave her a few sets of clothes to change into, gave her a few brief instructions, and then stood at the door, coldly saying, "If you have any trouble taking a shower, you can ask Aunt Mei for help. I've already told her. If you can do it yourself, leave my house as soon as possible."

As soon as Ye Xinghe returned to her room, Ye Xingchen knocked on the door and came in, asking, "How long is she going to stay here?"

Ye Xinghe smiled and spread her hands. "I don't know either. Her mother isn't in Jiangyang right now, so I asked your mother to take care of her. You know your mother, she's very compassionate and wouldn't abandon her, especially since she fell in front of your grandfather's house."

Ye Xingchen's face was cold, and his eyes revealed his displeasure. "Then I will apply for night shifts starting tomorrow."

"Second brother, isn't this unnecessary? Do you think we'd stop coming home just because of an outsider?" Ye Xinghe said calmly with a smile in her voice, "We need to find a way to get rid of her."

Feeling irritated, Ye Xingchen didn't want to continue the conversation and turned to leave.

As soon as he opened the door, he found Xing Fei standing right there in the doorway. Ye Xingchen was startled and quickly retreated back inside.
