"How could there be such a bizarre thing, a ring that cures all diseases? I think youāre confused."
"Otherwise, how do you explain... Ah, I regret it, regret giving that ring to him."
"Can you take it back?"
"Take what? My friend, just the other day, inexplicably got into a car accident, along with his son. Tell me, isnāt that a coincidence?"
"Wha... what? A car accident? It wasnāt done by him, was it?"
"I donāt know if it was him, but I discovered that he wears such a jade ring."
"This... this..." Old Mrs. Mei was terrified, knowing that her husband was always ruthless but had never been as cruel as Chen Haichang.
"Ah... donāt provoke this madman anymore, I canāt deal with him. Iām suspicious that the Shuping incident might also be his doing. Look at him, he actually has such capability. This person is not simple."
"What should we do then?" Such incidents happening back to back, Old Mrs. Mei was also scared. Itās all the old manās fault for provoking this living devil.
"What can we do, letās wait and see." Mr. Mei was also helpless.
Old Mrs. Mei saw him like this and her eyes darkened.
Meanwhile, on the second floor, Mei Langchi was throwing the blankets out.
"Seeing your sweetheart today, you must be very happy. Look at your face full of wrinkles from smiling all afternoon. Ye Qing, I really didnāt expect you to be so cheap now. Donāt forget, this is my house. Pull yourself together and roll, sleep wherever you want tonight."
Ye Qing was bewildered, having been hit by the tossed blankets from Mei Langchi, looked at Hua Hua behind her, frowned, and said in a low voice, "Which madness are you on now, let me in quickly. Langchi, this isnāt our house, if the people downstairs find out, theyāll start talking about us again."
"They should talk about your business, Ye Qing. Can you see it? You compare here and there, but you still canāt match others. Tell me, what do you have to compete with others?"
"With you, Mei Langchi, youāre my man, the legitimate grandson of the Mei family. They are just illegitimate children, Mei Langchi. You wonāt divorce me, you just want to disgust them, want to compete with them. Now theyāve shown up, instead of troubling them, you lose your temper at me, what kind of man is that."
Ye Qingās words made Mei Langchi pause. He kicked the door frame and stood with his hands on his hips, frustrated to the point he nearly hit himself.
Today, he was just confused with anger at Han Yi.
"Get in already." Realizing the point, Mei Langchi turned and strode towards the bed, giving a cold order to Ye Qing.
Seeing Mei Langchi allowing her and their son inside, Ye Qing sighed in relief. She pulled Hua Hua in, quickly closed the door, and put the blankets on the bed.
"Langchi, I know you donāt like Han Yi, I donāt like Lin Wan either. Isnāt this a perfect match, we can deal with those two together. Whatever you say, Iāll listen. Whatever you want me to do, Iāll do."
"I want you to get rid of Lin Wanās child, can you do that?" Mei Langchi turned to stare at Ye Qing ominously.
Ye Qing was unsurprised; discussing malicious deeds seemed like an ordinary matter, "Sheās already more than seven months in, getting rid of the baby wonāt be easy, unless an accident happens."
"I donāt want them to have another child. Do you understand?"
Ye Qing raised an eyebrow, snorted, "I canāt handle this alone, besides, they donāt live here, itās harder to make a move."
"Thereās still time until the New Year, think well about what to do, Iāll help you then."
"Alright." Ye Qing secretly chuckled, see, at least she still had value in Mei Langchiās eyes.
However, Ye Qing also noticed tonight that Old Mrs. Mei was quite displeased with Chen Haichang, yet didnāt express it as openly as last time; there surely was something going on.
Hua Hua watched his parents exchange words, not knowing what they were talking about. He only understood they were discussing some child-related matters.
He felt their eyes were terrifying, and he was somewhat scared.
...
When Little Star woke up, she was already lying on the bed at home. Lin Wan knew she would be hungry, so upon returning, she simmered some salted rice porridge on the stove for her.
Han Yi sent them home, then went to Chen Haichangās place, it had been over an hour, and he hadnāt returned yet.
Chen Haichang hadnāt actually lied, the house that Mr. Mei bought for him was indeed next door.
When Lin Wan got out of the car, Chen Haichang pointed out the place to her, just to their right.
Lin Wan knew last time she came, someone seemed to be living in the house to their right. She wondered what method Mr. Mei used to get them to sell the house.
"Mom, where is my Shiniliangliang?" The first thing Little Star asked upon waking was about her Shiniliangliang.
Lin Wan smiled helplessly, "Your dad put it away for you, heāll be back soon. Are you hungry?"
"Where did Dad go?" Little Star looked around eagerly, itching to take back her Shiniliangliang.
"Your dad is next door at your third grandpaās house. Heāll be back soon, mom made you minced meat porridge, do you want some?"
Little Starās eyes brightened hearing about minced meat porridge, she nodded quickly, "I want to eat."
"Wait a moment," Lin Wan knew her daughter was such a foodie, as long as thereās something delicious sheāll be satisfied.
Right now the minced meat porridge was thick and rich, the best for drinking. Lin Wan couldnāt resist having half a bowl herself.
By the time Han Yi returned, the mother and daughter had already eaten their fill and were snuggled warmly in their covers reading storybooks.
"Dad, whereās my Shiniliangliang?" Little Star, upon seeing Han Yi, reached out, eager for her treasure.
"Youāve got quite a memory, only thinking about your sparkly thing, donāt you care whether Dad is cold or not?" Han Yi, chilled from outside, sat by the bed and ruffled Little Starās hair.
