Jiang Youli has always been very sensitive to so-called coincidences and accidents.

There's no way around it; the environment she grew up in was inherently unsafe. If she's not aware of the dangers around her, then she herself will be in danger.

"There's something I want to tell you." Jiang Youli hesitated, wondering whether to say it directly, as it would be too cruel to Qi Huan.

"I know what you want to say." Qi Huan smiled wryly.

Jiang Youli thought about it and agreed. Qi Huan was a smart person. After discovering the clues between Qi Yue and Qi Yu, she should have already noticed many things and investigated them by following the clues.

A faint chill filled Qi Huan's eyes as she said, "After reviewing the events surrounding Qi Yue's departure, I also suspected that my mother's accidental death was not an accident. But as I said before, too much time has passed, and it's almost impossible to investigate. It's extremely difficult."

Jiang Youli understood, "Right now, we can only investigate Qi Yue. As long as he and Qi Tianxiang still covet the Qi family's vast wealth and want to kill you, they will definitely reveal their weaknesses."

"Ah."

The commotion at the entrance grew louder and louder.

"Qi Huan, what are you doing in the next room? Come out right now."

Cheng Jing continued in a businesslike manner, "Mr. Qi, Miss Jiang is currently treating the young master's leg. Please do not disturb her."

"Treatment? You mean the real daughter of the Jiang family is treating my son? Is she capable? I've consulted so many doctors for Huan'er and nothing has worked. Does she really have that ability? I'd really like to go and see her."

Cheng Jing repeated, "Mr. Qi, please wait until the young master finishes his treatment before we talk."

"Cheng Jing, get out of my way." Footsteps approached the door, and Qi Tianxiang's voice was filled with anger. "Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me? Let me in."

"Cheng Jing, tell them I am a member of the Qi family!"

suddenly--

"Ah... Let go... You dare to hurt me? You're all asking for it... Cheng Jing, as my son's assistant, are you just going to stand by and watch these bodyguards treat me like this...?"

The screams outside continued for a while before they stopped.

Jiang Youli ignored her and continued to treat Qi Huan.

Half an hour later, the door opened, and Zhang Susu walked in carrying the lunchbox that Wang Ma had brought. Before closing the door, she glanced back at the middle-aged man being held captive on the ground, and then asked in confusion, "Young Master Qi, isn't that your father outside? Why is he being held captive by my bodyguards?"

Qi Huan smiled slightly and said, "Auntie, I am Xiao Li'er's fiancé. You can just call me Qi Huan from now on."

Finally, he explained, "He insisted on barging in and disturbing my treatment, so I had no choice but to resort to some methods."

Zhang Susu shook her head: "Father is immoral, so it's only right."

Hearing Zhang Susu blurt out that she was criticizing Qi Tianxiang instead of him for being too harsh on his elders, Qi Huan's dark pupils gleamed slightly. He lowered his eyes, smiled silently, and suddenly understood why Xiao Li'er liked her aunt and uncle so much.

They don't act like elders; they only have genuine concern for the children.

Thanks to Xiao Li'er, he will also be able to call this beautiful woman in front of him "Mom" in the future.

After Jiang Youli finished wiping away the last of the silver needles, she stretched and said, "That's enough."

Qi Huan raised his hand and rubbed his legs. After several days of treatment, he began to feel less pain than at the beginning, and his legs seemed to be starting to feel numb.

"I'm going out to take care of some family matters, so I won't let my father disturb your dinner."

"Yeah, let your father have some peace and quiet. He's really annoying." Jiang Youli stretched and then twisted her neck and shoulders.

After watching Qi Huan leave the ward, Zhang Susu walked over, sat down by the bedside, opened the lunchbox, and said with concern, "You must be tired. Eat something to replenish your strength. You're always busy, either your second uncle and aunt are causing trouble, or you have to treat Qi Huan's leg."

"Ugh, I'm so tired. Why don't you feed me, Mom? I don't want to move." Jiang Youli shamelessly whined.

Zhang Susu chuckled, looked up at her, her eyes sparkling, "You're such a grown-up, and you still need me to feed you? Aren't you ashamed?"

He said that, but he had already picked up his chopsticks.

"Sit still. Your hands must be sore and tired after the acupuncture. Let me feed you."

"Okay!" Jiang Youli immediately sat down on the edge of the bed, then opened her mouth and leaned in, "Ah—"

Zhang Susu picked up a piece of tender beef and put it in her mouth, then used her other hand to scoop up a spoonful of rice and vegetables.

Jiang Youli smiled and closed her mouth to chew her food. "It tastes even better when Mom feeds me."

"You're just bragging, always saying things that will make me happy." Zhang Susu's smile never faded.

Jiang Youli said without any shame, "Mom, you said you're happy, so of course I'll say the nice things."

Zhang Susu's face was beaming with smiles as she said, "Of course I'm happy. How could I not be happy when my daughter praises me?"

Seeing the beautiful new mother's genuine and joyful smile, Jiang Youli felt a warm glow in her heart. After swallowing the food in her mouth, she opened her mouth again and leaned closer.

This is probably what it means to have a peaceful and tranquil life.

……

Qi Huan left the ward, nodded, and gestured for Cheng Jing to have the bodyguards release Qi Tianxiang.

After Qi Tianxiang was released, Cheng Jing stepped forward to push Qi Huan's wheelchair and took him back to the next ward.

Qi Tianxiang scrambled to his feet, his body stiff, and followed Qi Yue. He slammed the hospital room door shut and immediately launched into a tirade: "Qi Huan, don't go too far! I could tolerate your disrespect at home, but now you're showing me no respect in public? You just let Cheng Jing watch the Jiang family's bodyguards attack me and laugh at me!"

Qi Huan lay back on the hospital bed, looked at the middle-aged man in front of her and smiled faintly: "You are a joke in yourself, why are you afraid of others seeing you? I'll give you three minutes, say what you have to say, or don't say anything at all."

"Qi Huan, you..."

Qi Yue, who was beside him, grabbed his hand and shook his head, implying that he needed Qi Huan's help today. Only then did Qi Tianxiang suppress his anger and say, "I have no money. Give me a million."

"One million? What do you need it for? Didn't I tell you to submit an application? If your reasons for the application can convince me, I'll approve it." Qi Huan's voice left no room for negotiation.

"I need to apply for a million? Do you think I'm a beggar?!" Qi Tianxiang's veins bulged with rage.

Today at the hospital, the doctor gave Qi Tianxiang a bill because Qi Yu's knee injury was very serious. Sending her to the hospital would cost a lot, and she would need to stay in a VIP ward for recuperation. They also hired a high-end caregiver. Qi Tianxiang had spent all the money he had on hand.

If they want Qi Yu's legs to recover quickly, it will cost a lot of money.

He originally planned to ask for five million, but considering that his relationship with Qi Huan was very strained, he thought it would be easier to get one million first.

Who knew that Qi Huan didn't even intend to give him a million!

After covering her legs with the blanket, Qi Huan looked at Qi Tianxiang's ashen face and sneered, "Father, what are you saying? You've lived most of your life, how come you can't even come up with a million? And you still have the nerve to ask me for it with such self-righteousness? What are you if not a beggar?"

"If the beggars outside knew that they could get a million just by writing an application, they'd probably worship me like a father. But you, you don't even have the slightest sense of obligation to those who pay your bills."
