"Does it hurt in waves?" Dr. Jiang asked.
"Yeah." Zheng Lingling nodded.
"Then let’s walk and talk," Dr. Jiang said.
"Okay." Zheng Lingling followed Dr. Jiang’s steps.
"Lingling, your mom is almost fully recovered now. I probably won’t be visiting your house much anymore," Dr. Jiang said.
"That soon?" Zheng Lingling frowned slightly.
Dr. Jiang nodded, "It’s a good thing that your mom is getting better."
Zheng Lingling then said, "Please give me the painkillers quickly."
Dr. Jiang searched through her box and found a box of medicine, "Remember, two pills at a time."
Dr. Jiang continued, "Today your mom said she would leave you half of her estate. What do you think?"
The mention of this made Zheng Lingling angry, "All these years, I have been the one by her side. But when it comes to dividing the property, she sure doesn’t forget her biological daughter!"
Dr. Jiang frowned, "If she has promised to leave you half, it makes sense. After all, blood is thicker than water, and bones may break but the sinews still hold. I’m afraid..."
"Auntie Jiang, what do you mean?"
Dr. Jiang went on, "I’ve been sisters with your mom my entire life, there were no secrets between us. But ever since Tingting returned, she hasn’t been as open with me as before."
Zheng Lingling asked impatiently, "Auntie Jiang, what do you mean by that?"
Dr. Jiang said, "Like the paternity test, and the fact that Ni Yang knows medical skills," she paused, then continued, "But Lingling, don’t worry too much. Ni Yang is a doctor, sure, but she practices Traditional Chinese Medicine. It has nothing to do with mental health."
Zheng Lingling nodded.
She wasn’t worried about Ni Yang.
Just a teenager, how skilled in medicine could she be?
Dr. Jiang continued, "I suspect your mom is deceiving me. She doesn’t really want to divide half of the property with you. After all, you’re not her biological child. She wants to leave all the wealth to her biological daughter, which is natural human sentiment."
Zheng Lingling bit her lip, "What should I do then?"
Everything in the Zheng Family was hers!
She was not willing to be so easily robbed!
Dr. Jiang took out another box of headache pills from her medical kit, "Some things are better dealt with sooner rather than later. Don’t underestimate a headache as a small issue; if it drags on for long, it can turn into a big problem. Life is unpredictable, who knows what might happen tomorrow?"
Zheng Lingling took the box and nodded solemnly, "Got it, Auntie Jiang. I understand."
Today was the grand opening of Wu Jinshu’s construction company.
The name of the construction company was chosen by Ni Yang.
Changhua Construction Co., Ltd.
As the sole investor, Ni Yang, of course, couldn’t miss the opening day.
At eight in the morning, Ni Yang and Ni Cuihua arrived at the company on time.
The more Ni Cuihua looked at Wu Yanyun, the more she felt Wu Yanyun was her second daughter. Her eyes began to moisten.
How hard it must’ve been for her to grow up so big, being thrown away so young.
Poor child, she hadn’t even had the chance to drink milk since she was little.
Wu Yanyun noticed Ni Cuihua kept looking at her and feeling somewhat embarrassed, said, "Auntie, do you have something you want to tell me?"
"Nothing, nothing." Ni Cuihua immediately came back to her senses, "I was just deep in thought."
The opening ceremony was simple: they set off firecrackers and cut a ribbon.
There was only a month left for exams, so after cutting the ribbon, Ni Yang didn’t idle either, rushing to school non-stop.
She had two exams that day.
By the time she left school, it was already after five in the afternoon.
Ni Yang slowly walked on the road, her shadow elongated by the setting sun.
Suddenly, a sound of tires abruptly halting filled the air, and by the time Ni Yang looked up, a black sedan was already calmly stopped in front of her.
Whose car is this, so thoughtless?
Ni Yang was just about to kick it when the car door swung open, and a tall and upright figure emerged, with the dying light of the sunset shrouding his features, making them somewhat indistinct.
Ni Yang was momentarily stunned before she could react, and by then she was already seized by an imperious force.
"Yangyang." He buried his head in her neck and deeply inhaled the lingering scent of her hair.
"Brother Mo." Ni Yang wrapped her arms around him.
Thinking about it, it had been almost half a year since she last saw Mo Qishen.
"Ouch," after hugging for a bit, Ni Yang pushed him away with her hands, expressing her disdain, "Brother Mo, how long has it been since you shaved?"
"Did it hurt you?" Mo Qishen looked worried.
Only then did Ni Yang notice the blue stubble on his chin, adding a bit more manliness to his appearance.
Ni Yang couldn’t help but reach out and touch it, finding the sensation novel, like a tingling electric shock, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, how busy have you been?"
"How does it feel?" Mo Qishen gripped her hand.
"Not great, it’s prickly," Ni Yang said with a face full of disdain.
"Let’s get in the car and talk." Mo Qishen guided her to the back seat.
Wu Daming took the initiative to greet her, "Sister-in-law number six."
Seeing Wu Daming, who was shiny black, Ni Yang laughed, "Wu Daming, have you been on a vacation to F Continent?"
Wu Daming turned around in surprise, "Sister-in-law, how did you figure it out? But I didn’t go to F Continent for a vacation."
"It’s your teeth," Ni Yang replied.
"Ah?" Wu Daming was somewhat confused.
Ni Yang continued, "I suggest that if you go out at night, remember to smile more."
"Why?" Wu Daming touched the back of his head.
Ni Yang smiled and said, "Use your teeth to blind them, otherwise it’s too dark and no one can see you."
Not only had he darkened, but why did everyone have to laugh at him too?
A few minutes later, Wu Daming realized that being laughed at by Ni Yang wasn’t the worst!
Being force-fed dog food, that was the worst!
He was still a kid, why did he have to endure such an assault of love?
Those two people in the back seat were really too much!
After about fifteen minutes, the car stopped in front of a villa.
Once out of the car, Ni Yang said in surprise, "Why are we here? Weren’t we going to my place?"
Mo Qishen said, "With my disheveled appearance, it’s not suitable for me to go to your house. What if our mom disapproves and won’t let you marry me?"
Ni Yang raised her eyebrows slightly, "I’m not planning to marry you right now anyway."
"Fine fine fine, then I’ll marry you," Mo Qishen shamelessly wrapped his arm around Ni Yang’s waist, "Yangyang, you’ve lost weight!"
"You really have, I can feel it," Mo Qishen said as he tightened his hold.
As they talked, the two of them had already entered the villa.
No sooner had the door closed than Mo Qishen pinned her against it with a reversed hand, and then leaned down for a kiss.
The blue stubble prickled against her fair skin, a bit painful, yet Mo Qishen couldn’t bring himself to let go so soon after such a long time apart.
After a while, Ni Yang pushed him away, "Go shave now!"
