Chapter 737: Chapter 441: Members of the Zhong Family
"Lianlian..." Ye Qingzhu caressed Luo Lian’s cheek and sighed heavily, "This matter has always been on my mind. Although so much time has passed, the image of you helpless and flustered in the rain still lingers in my head.
I remember after Zhan Ping and I helped you into the café, you were staring at us with such a cold gaze, your eyes could freeze a person to death. If it weren’t for our strong tolerance, you might have scared us off.
You always dodged this topic whenever it was brought up in the past. It’s rare that you are finally willing to open up. Now I can finally put my mind at ease."
Luo Lian gave a wry smile: "Back then, I was full of denial towards the whole world and dared not trust anyone. I thought that no one in this world could be trusted, except for my mother.
It was you and Zhan Ping who, with patience, attentiveness, and affection, helped me recover. I have always wondered, what would have become of me if it wasn’t for you two that day?"
"And don’t get me started, Zhan Ping and I practically talked our mouths off, and you wouldn’t utter a word. Do you remember the random sketch you drew when you were with us?"
Luo Lian nodded: "I remember, I liked to doodle when I was in a bad mood."
"Later, I took that drawing to a psychologist for interpretation, they said that you were severely lacking a sense of security and care..."
Luo Lian interrupted her: "When you sneakily took that drawing, I actually noticed it. In the following days, I understood why you and Zhan Ping were sticking close to me.
It was your selfless care that warmed my heart again. It’s just that the hurdle in my heart never went away, and I couldn’t speak it out loud."
Luo Lian reached out to pull Luo Ye to her side while embracing her and Ye Qingzhu, "Now, I have relatives, I have friends, I’m not afraid anymore, and I don’t feel there’s anything to be ashamed of about the past. He will come eventually, and we will all have to face it sooner or later. It’s better to speak out and prevent some bad things from happening."
"He’s coming over?" Luo Ye’s voice rose.
"No, he can’t get away for the time being. It’s my foster mother who is coming. Didn’t I tell you before that she didn’t want to let go of my stepfather? Afterward, there was no news, and I thought she had gotten over it.
Turns out she met a man and fell in love, and only recently found out he was with her just to scam her money," Luo Lian sighed heavily, "She’s just that selfish, always thinking that everything is waiting for her decision, always believing that her husband’s life should always make way for her."
"Poor Mr. Zhou." Luo Ye touched her forehead, "Why do people always think of the good old days only when they lose something?"
Ye Xuan quickly stepped forward: "Ye’er, from now on, I won’t hide anything from you."
"Feeling guilty? Did I say something?" Luo Ye glared at him, "So you do know you’ve done something wrong?"
"If I could do it over, I’d still choose not to tell you," Ye Xuan said seriously, looking at her, "At that time, you were already overwhelmed. Telling you would only have added to your worries and not solved any problems."
"Psh, who’s overwhelmed?" Luo Ye pursed her lips, "You underestimate me. I was totally in control, okay? Let’s not quibble over this. You did indeed mean well for me. But let it not happen again, got it?"
"Got it! Got it!" Ye Xuan and Ye Qingzhu nodded in unison.
"Big brother... hehe..." Ye Shuo wickedly grinned as he approached Ye Xuan, "Who would have thought that even big brother could have such a day?"
"Brat!" Ye Xuan smacked Ye Shuo on the head.
"Little sister-in-law, big brother is bullying me!" Ye Shuo made a pitiful face, seeking help.
Luo Ye glanced at him: "You deserve it!"
Ye Shuo’s face twisted even more: "Wuu... you two are bullying me together! Sister Lianlian, save me!"
Luo Lian "hmphed": "I don’t care, you doubted me just now!"
"Wuu... I can’t live on, everyone is bullying me!" Ye Shuo began to bawl...
Zhong Yi couldn’t help it anymore and said, "Ye Shuo, can’t you behave a little? This is a hospital."
Ye Shuo peeked at Luo Ye and groveled: "Ow, everyone’s paired up, obviously bullying me. No, little sister-in-law, you have to find me a girlfriend quickly, I need a helper..."
"I’ll go find one for you right now." Ye Xuan said as he grabbed Ye Shuo by the collar and started to walk out.
"Help! Little sister-in-law, hurry up, otherwise, I won’t supervise big brother for you anymore," Ye Shuo shouted while kicking his legs wildly.
"What’s going on?" Just then, a female doctor in her forties came over with a stern face and scolded, "This can affect the patients’ rest, don’t you know?"
Luo Lian patted Luo Ye and murmured softly, "Rare, so rare to see a woman not charmed by Handsome Ye, Luoluo, this is totally unexpected..."
"Mom, how come you’re here already?" Zhong Yi stood up to greet her.
The female doctor smiled, "I just finished my work, so I came over. What, you’re not happy to see your mother?"
"Lianlian, hehe..." Ye Qingzhu said with schadenfreude, tapping the suddenly stiff Luo Lian, "Later, I’m going to mimic what you just said for her to hear."
Luo Lian raised an eyebrow: "Go ahead, she’s your mother-in-law, not mine."
Ye Qingzhu: "..."
"Qingzhu, you’re feeling good today, aren’t you? Little Yi hasn’t made you angry, has he?" Mrs. Zhong approached, asking with a doting smile in her eyes, completely different from the way she scolded Ye Xuan.
Ye Qingzhu quickly stood up: "Auntie, I’m quite alright, thank you for your concern."
"This child, shouldn’t I be concerned?" Mrs. Zhong fondly smoothed Ye Qingzhu’s hair, "Qingzhu, after you are discharged, talk it over with your family. Let’s arrange a time for both parents to meet."
Ye Qingzhu’s cheeks turned red, and she cautiously glanced at Ye Xuan before stammering, "My... My big brother is actually here right now."
"Your big brother?" Mrs. Zhong looked at everyone in the room with confusion, "Aren’t they your colleagues?"
Ye Qinghe whispered into Luo Ye’s ear, "Most of the people who have come to see my sister these days are her colleagues. Just now she must have treated big brother like a mere nobody."
Ye Xuan stepped forward awkwardly, "I am her big brother."
Mrs. Zhong gave him a once over and frowned, "You’re her big brother, and yet you cause such a ruckus? Don’t you know that patients need quiet?"
Ye Xuan: "..."
"Auntie..." Ye Qingzhu watched her future mother-in-law with a resigned expression; her character was just like this, completely uncompromising when it came to patients’ health. She didn’t spare anyone.
"Alright, enough about that," Mrs. Zhong’s demeanor softened, "Big brother from the Ye Family, we would like to meet with the elders of the Ye Family. Qingzhu might be too shy to bring it up, can you, as her big brother, step in?"
Everyone’s faces fell...
Ye Xuan coughed lightly, "Auntie, this is a major decision for Qingzhu’s life, I will listen to her wishes."
Mrs. Zhong called out to her son, "Zhong Yi, come over and serve your big uncle!"
"Mom!" Zhong Yi looked at his mother speechlessly, "Could you not pull that stuff here, please?"
"No can do! Hurry up!"
Everyone curiously turned their attention to Zhong Yi, wondering what kind of "service" this was.
They saw Zhong Yi reluctantly move in front of Ye Xuan, "Big brother, please take a seat."
Ye Xuan sat down on the chair, still baffled.
Zhong Yi gave everyone a smile and extended his hands, beginning to massage Ye Xuan’s shoulders...
Seeing that everyone was about to be petrified, Ye Qingzhu hurriedly explained, "Um, it’s like this, the Zhong Family’s massage technique is quite unique; most people don’t get to experience it."
"I’ll ask Zhong Ling to come over and let you try," Mrs. Zhong said as she started to make a phone call.
"Stop, stop it," Ye Xuan quickly pushed Zhong Yi away and stood up, looking earnestly at Mrs. Zhong, "Auntie, with your attitude, I’ve made up my mind. If Qingzhu is willing, I will talk to my family when I return."
Mrs. Zhong nodded her head, proudly looking at Zhong Yi, "Son, aren’t you going to thank me?"
"Hehe..." Zhong Yi flashed an awkward smile at everyone, "That’s just how my mom is, just how she is..."
"Stinky boy, are you saying you dislike your mom’s personality?" Mrs. Zhong gave her son’s head a whack with her fist, "Without your mom, would you have been able to meet your future in-laws so smoothly?"
Ye Shuo cleared his throat sharply, "Auntie, we are all from the Ye Family."
Mrs. Zhong nodded her head, "I know, and that’s why I speak the truth. If we were in front of strangers, I would be sure to maintain my image."
Ye Shuo backed away, "Auntie, pretend I didn’t say anything."
Zhong Yi pushed his mother, "You go take care of things, don’t worry about stuff here."
"This rotten kid..." Mrs. Zhong waved her hand, "I’m off then. Oh right, Zhong Ling is coming by soon, all the boys in this room should leave."
Seeing the confusion on everyone’s faces, Zhong Yi quickly explained, "Zhong Ling is my sister, she comes every day to give Qingzhu a massage, which helps with her recovery."
"Oh, oh, oh..." Everyone nodded in understanding.
Curious, Luo Ye asked, "Dr. Zhong, how old is your mother?"
"Shes’s fifty-one this year," Zhong Yi scratched his head, "As long as it doesn’t harm the patient, she’s pretty much childlike most of the time."
"Really? I wouldn’t have guessed. I thought she was only forty-one or two. It seems that mindset really matters," Luo Ye playfully patted Luo Lian, "You can’t always keep things bottled up inside!"
"Get out of here, when have I ever hidden anything?" Luo Lian swatted her hand, "I have no secrets now, I’ve told you everything."
"Hehe," Luo Ye laughed, "That’s more like it. Remember, we should all smile more. That way, we can all seem as young as Aunt Zhong."
"Sister-in-law, here I am." Along with Tiantian’s sweet voice, a girl around seventeen or eighteen, of average build and sweetly pretty, walked in.
