Seeing that Jing Li was still calmly eating her food, Zhang Zhi couldn't help but wonder why Miss Liang didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. He remembered that just two days ago, Miss Liang had given up her own work and came with him first.

He rarely saw Miss Liang with that caring expression.

He arrived at the hospital shortly after leaving the police station.

As soon as I entered, I ran into that idiot Ah Sheng saying that Miss Liang wanted to be discharged from the hospital.

He went over to stop her immediately, but no matter how much he pleaded, Miss Liang refused.

Later, a phone call came into his cell phone, saying that the young master was in trouble.

Ms. Liang's reaction at the time clearly showed that she cared a lot.

All that persuasion was for nothing compared to the young master's single action.

“Miss Liang, the young master just moved his limbs. Aren’t you going to check on him now?” Zhang Zhi couldn’t help but ask.

Jing Li ate slowly, seemingly moving very slowly, but in the blink of an eye, the food on the table had almost disappeared, and her movements were very elegant.

Just like the way people ate in ancient times.

Zhang Zhi was very puzzled. Miss Liang could eat so much, yet she could still find a sense of aesthetics in her food.

"No rush, let's eat first and then go."

The world is vast, but nothing beats good food. The food at the sickly man's house is really good.

Zhang Zhi realized that, as expected, food was more important to Miss Liang than the young master.

The maid beside her was still quietly serving Jing Li vegetables, her expression of shock growing more and more obvious.

“Miss Liang, there’s one more thing, about your parents,” Zhang Zhi reported dutifully from the side.

"Tell me about it?" Jing Li put down her cutlery, rested her chin on her hand, and turned to look at Zhang Zhi.

Zhang Zhi replied, "They sent people to cause trouble at your place a few times before. You went to Dianyi at the time, so when they found no one at your home, they went to your school to make trouble. They thought you were at school and deliberately avoiding them, so they made a huge scene. Now your reputation at school has been ruined by them. At first, they just brought up family matters..."

Zhang Zhi's voice trailed off, indicating he didn't intend to continue.

"Anything else?" Jing Li's face was expressionless, and her tone was very casual.

Zhang Zhi glanced at Jing Li a few times, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.

"Go on," Jingli gestured.

Zhang Zhi then continued, "Also, they've been making a fuss for too long. When you try to see me but I refuse to see them, they start spreading rumors about your private life, saying you're a mistress being kept by someone else... I don't know how many sugar daddies you've had."

As Zhang Zhi spoke, his voice grew softer and softer, while he kept observing Jing Li's expression.

Seeing that Jing Li didn't seem to care much, he took a deep breath.

As she spoke, she also complained, "But you don't need to worry about these things. Rumors stop with the wise. Most people in the school still defend you."

"And there is another thing, your adoptive mother is also in a very 'difficult' situation now."

Zhang Zhi deliberately emphasized the word 'difficult' at the end.

He continued, "One day, your brother, who is on a legal level, got drunk and harassed a girl on the street. He raped her on the spot and was arrested by the police. According to the law, he only needed to go to jail. However, the girl had someone backing her, who pulled strings on the spot and sentenced her to death."

Jing Li had no time to consider these things. To her, the original owner's adoptive parents were just passersby. The things they did to the original owner meant that their bad luck had begun the moment she entered this body.

However, seeing Zhang Zhi's gossipy expression, I became somewhat interested.

"and then?"

Seeing that Jing Li seemed willing to listen, Zhang Zhi spoke even more enthusiastically.

"After that, I sent someone to investigate, and they found out a shocking piece of information."

Zhang Zhi dragged over a chair and sat down. He glanced at the servants beside him, and the two servants immediately withdrew.

When only the two of them remained in the restaurant, Zhang Zhicai said excitedly, "Miss Liang, do you know a girl named Chu Xia?"

Jing Li raised an eyebrow, her interest piqued.

"Let's just say we know each other."

"Then you probably don't know about the Jiang family. Old Master Jiang has a grandson named Jiang Sheng. Jiang Sheng is very arrogant and has always wanted to surpass our young master. However, our young master has never liked managing family affairs. But he is smart. No matter how the Yun family's affairs develop, as long as they are in his hands, he can immediately grasp the key points and quickly get to the target. Therefore, the Yun family has developed very quickly, far surpassing the Jiang family. If our young master focused on the family business..."

Zhang Zhi kept talking.

Jing Li raised her hand, "You've gone off-topic."

The sickly child held a very high place in his heart.

Zhang Zhi was interrupted and realized that he had indeed gone off-topic, having been praising his young master the whole time.

He then smiled sheepishly, "I've gone off-topic."

Jing Li: "Continue, what shocking news?"

Zhang Zhi got excited again, "It's a huge bombshell!! That grandson of Jiang Sheng has a fiancée who just appeared out of nowhere, Chu Xia. I've investigated Chu Xia, and she's a top figure in your industry, with very impressive skills, but I'm sure she's not as capable as you, Miss Liang."

As they talked, Zhang Zhi took the opportunity to flatter Jing Li.

Just kidding. If Miss Liang hadn't reminded him, his family would have been ruined. Luckily, Miss Liang thought highly of him and was willing to give him some pointers. Otherwise, he would probably be living a miserable life by now.

Just like the young master!

Zhang Zhi thought to himself silently, and also took the opportunity to make a sarcastic remark about Yun Qi.

Seeing Jing Li's keen interest, Zhang Zhi didn't want to spoil her fun, so he quickly continued, "It was this early summer that she became Jiang Sheng's fiancée, and later she was photographed with Zhao Yanchen, that illegitimate son of the Zhao family who is not respectable. They were caught in a room together."

"So exciting?"

"That's right. The most exciting thing is that Jiang Sheng, who is so arrogant, actually accepted her! And he often stands up for her. Now, Chu Xia is the most envied person in the capital."

Jing Li was not surprised; she was destined to be the chosen one, and Heaven would naturally favor her in everything.

This is normal.

If things aren't going well on my side, how can I possibly go to Dianyi's side and cause her trouble?

Seeing that Zhang Zhi had reached this point, Jing Li continued, "What is the connection between her and the things you told me about your parents?"

"The connection is that the girl your nominal brother insulted seems to be Chu Xia's good friend, so he was subjected to strong retaliation. Your mother is now bedridden from anger and unable to move..."

Zhang Zhi observed Jing Li's expression. "Miss Liang, do you need help..."

“No need!” Jing Li raised an eyebrow. “Everyone has their own destiny. Why would you want to interfere with someone else’s destiny?”

She shook her head to show her confusion.

Zhang Zhi: "......."

He was truly suffering in silence; he was clearly worried about Miss Liang...

However, given Miss Liang's personality, it's understandable that he asked such an unnecessary question.
