Chapter 229: Chapter 229 She is Doctor Anxin Chapter 229: Chapter 229 She is Doctor Anxin Qi Yunfan looked troubled, “Xiaoyi, it’s really not appropriate for you to be here at this kind of event today. You should leave. If you really want to see me, then I’ll make time for you another day!”
Ye Chuyi found him laughable. When he needed her, he almost knelt down to admit his wrongs and begged her; now that he didn’t need her, he started to play the part of the noble young master.
“I’m not here to see you. I came to the Wen Family only to meet Madam. After I’ve seen her, I’ll leave on my own; you don’t need to rush me. Just don’t beg me to stay.”
Hen Peizhu seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, “Who would beg you to stay? Have you developed some kind of delusion? You claim you’re a doctor, but it looks like you’re the one who’s seriously ill. It’s really laughable to the extreme!”
Qi Yunfan shook his head, “Chuyi, what are you talking about? Please, just go. If this continues, even I’ll feel embarrassed for you.”
Lin Yueqin stepped forward and pushed her with an elbow, “Are you deaf? Both Young Master Qi and his wife have made themselves clear, so why won’t you leave?”
Ye Chuyi blocked her elbow and pushed her back, “When did I become unaware that this place turned into the Qi Family’s villa? I came to see Lady Wen. What right do the Qi Family have to order me to leave?”
Just as she was speaking, Lady Wen hurriedly came out with Wen Nianyou.
“Madam Qi and Yunfan are here, please come in!”
After greeting Hen Peizhu, Lady Wen then reached out to take Ye Chuyi’s hand, “Xiaoyi, you’re here too, come on in.”
Ye Chuyi smiled gently at her and handed over the nutritional products, “Madam, I won’t come in. Seeing that you have recovered well, I’m relieved. This is just a small token, please accept it.”
Lady Wen was stunned for a moment, “Why won’t you come in? I specifically invited you. Xiaoyi, is it because I didn’t tell you in advance that Madam Qi would also come, so you’re upset?”
“I’m not upset. I know Madam is kind-hearted and always wants to help others. I too desire to bring joy to others, but, unfortunately, some people don’t want my help. So, I’ll leave now, and I’ll visit you again when I have time. Please take good care of yourself.”
After saying that, Ye Chuyi turned and left.
Lady Wen watched her drive away, slightly taken aback. She couldn’t help but ask Lin Yueqin, “What’s wrong with Xiaoyi? Why didn’t she want to come in?”
“That… perhaps she knows she’s not suitable for such occasions. We told her that today you invited Doctor Anxin to treat Madam Qi, so maybe she felt too ashamed to linger.”
Lady Wen frowned, “Why wouldn’t Xiaoyi be suitable? Yueqin, you’re her mother, how could you say that about her? You…”
Hen Peizhu stepped forward and took her hand, cutting her off, “Mother-in-law, she’s just a servant’s daughter after all. If she’s gone, let her be; why waste time and energy on such a person? It’s not worth it!”
“But Xiaoyi was my invitee. Did you say something to her that made her leave?”
“We didn’t say much, just that she wasn’t fitting for today’s event. Who knew she’d take it badly, so sensitive that it’s maddening.”
Hen Peizhu, holding Lady Wen’s hand, urged her inside, “Let’s head in. Doctor Anxin should be arriving soon; we should get ready to receive her!”
But after a couple of steps, she realized Lady Wen hadn’t followed; she was still standing there, staring at them in a daze.
Her expression was very complex, “Did you drive Xiaoyi away?”
Hen Peizhu couldn’t understand her concern for a servant’s daughter, showing her displeasure, “Wasn’t it agreed that Doctor Anxin would treat my illness today? Doesn’t Lady Wen know how serious my condition is? Shouldn’t my health be the concern now? Why are you always worrying about a servant’s daughter?”
Lady Wen felt uncomfortable hearing her constantly refer to “a servant’s daughter.”
She looked straight at her, “This ‘servant’s daughter’ you speak of is none other than the Doctor Anxin whom you have been desperately seeking!”
“What?!”
“That’s impossible!”
