Space and Rebirth: The Favored Genius Doctor and Businesswoman - chapter 3 - Took the Wrong Meds (吃错药了)
If the fortune-teller hadn’t said those things, Jing Yunzhao wouldn’t have survived . But even if she were at death’s door, it’d be better than the years she lived in her past life . It’d be better than those years of living with the Qiao’s and being humiliated by them only to be jailed in the end .
“Yunzhao, Hongye is your little sister . What kind of older sister would say such things about her own little sister like that? Your grades are good, but isn’t that all thanks to my genes? Hongye is a good child . She’s been giving way to you since you were little . How else would you be able to get number one? *cough cough*” After Ye Qin said all that full of vigor, her face turned red .
She had already given up on her illness, but she just couldn’t stop worrying about her kids .
She actually had some doubts . Maybe the fortune-teller named Jing Yunzhao wrong and that resulted in her own life span being shortened .
“Mom’s right . I really did inherit your genes . And Hongye inherited dad’s because Hongye and I are nothing alike!” Jing Yunzhao said purposely .
Ye Qin choked a little and glared at Jing Yunzhao .
Why does she feel like this child took the wrong meds? Her words carried needles, making her feel uncomfortable .
“Okay, okay . Since when did you learn to talk back?! Learn from Hongye . Girls need to be gentle and sensible . Otherwise, you’ll never find a husband!” Ye Qin was angry . Her body became more and more uncomfortable .
Ye Qin’s illness came out of the blue . There were never any signs to show that she had it, but when she went to the hospital one day, they found a tumor in her liver . It was a malignant one too!
She went through a while of treatment, but nothing worked . Her hair’s all gone now, making her look tired and spiritless .
The Qiao’s were only a normal family . They weren’t rich, and because of Ye Qin’s illness, they used a lot of their savings . The doctor already told them to prepare for her passing . Ye Qin knew she didn’t have much time left, so she insisted on discharging from the hospital . She didn’t want to die there .
And since Ye Qin’s condition did somewhat improve after being home, she didn’t want to return to that hospital even more .
Jing Yunzhao didn’t want to argue with Ye Qin . She went to the kitchen for something to fill her belly .
She owed the Qiao’s, but she did so many years of chores for them . In her past life, she gave all of the money she earned to the Qiao’s, yet she still met such a terrible end . No matter what, she had already done enough for them!
Plus, her grades had always been good since she was little . In elementary school . she entered a lot of contests and won plenty of prize money . She never used any of the Qiao’s money after that, yet she still had to be careful to eat less and drink less . Why?
And regarding the porridge in her room…she can’t drink it .
In her past life, it was that bowl of porridge that made her sick and bedridden for a week .
The her in the past believed that everything she did for the Qiao’s was necessary . She believed she was happy in that house, but now, there’s no way she’d think like that .
There wasn’t much food . Jing Yunzhao wasn’t picky, so she ate something simple . She was already beginning to plan for the future .
“Jiejie, wasn’t there a bowl of porridge in your room? Why did you come to the kitchen?” Qiao Hongye said . She was displeased and upset .
“I’m not going to eat a porridge that went cold . What if I get sick? There’s a test on Monday, so I’m going to avoid risky things like that in the future,” Jing Yunzhao said, meaningfully .
Qiao Hongye’s heart stopped a little . “Is it that serious? Cold porridge might make you sick? Jiejie, you’re becoming more and more delicate!”
“Hongye, your body has always been healthy – not delicate at all . Why don’t you drink that porridge?” Jing Yunzhao said mockingly .
“Jing Yunzhao! If you’re scared of getting sick yourself, then why are you making Hongye drink it? Are you asking for trouble?!” Standing behind Jing Yunzhao, Qiao Weimin said angrily .
