Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Having a Hole in Your Brain is an Illness, It Needs Treatment!

"Begging you?"

Ye Li stepped back a few steps, her voice, along with her expression, becoming increasingly icy.

For a moment, Zhou Hecchen felt as if he saw the shadow of Fu Yanci in Ye Li.

As soon as this thought surfaced, Zhou Hecchen’s face grew uglier.

When he looked up again, he heard Ye Li say coldly, "I have Fu Yanci and I don’t seek his help, why would I beg you? Zhou Hecchen, having holes in your brain is an illness that needs to be treated!"

"Stay away from me!"

"Don’t come to the hospital again, don’t appear in front of my mother!"

Ye Li spoke each word deliberately, clear and forceful, "Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind letting Fu Yanci know how his nephew spoke disrespectfully to his aunt. I can’t teach you a lesson, but your little uncle, your parents, they can manage it, right?"

With each sentence Ye Li uttered, Zhou Hecchen’s expression darkened further.

By the time Ye Li finished, Zhou Hecchen’s face was dark as ink.

Ye Li turned and walked away.

The corridor became quiet, and Zhou Hecchen watched the spot where Ye Li had left with a crazed gaze for a long time before he turned and departed.

In the sickroom, Li Xueqing was surprised to see Ye Li return alone, without Zhou Hecchen behind her.

Li Xueqing, eyeing Ye Li’s expression, asked, "Ah Li, did you make things clear with He Chen? Where is he?"

"I made it clear!"

Ye Li nodded, walked to the coffee table, threw the ugly apple Zhou Hecchen had peeled into the trash, and started peeling an orange for Li Xueqing, "Mom, you’ve always said it. I’ve grown up now. I can handle things between him and me on my own, so could you please stop worrying?"

"...Alright."

Li Xueqing hesitated in her response, then spoke with a downcast mood, "I just don’t know when your dad will be back."

Her hand paused, and a delicate white thread peeled away from the orange skin.

Ye Li’s breath hitched.

Before bankruptcy, Ye Group had just begun expanding its overseas business, and dad, full of ambition, pointed at Ye Group’s blueprint and said, "Ah Li, see, this is the kingdom your mom and dad are building for you!"

For this cause, the 50-year-old man brought out all his youthful vigor, staying up until one or two in the morning, resting only after meetings with the overseas executives and sales team.

If only he had known...

When the warmth of tears threatened to arise at the corners of her eyes, Ye Li abruptly stopped the thought and handed the peeled orange to Li Xueqing, "Dad told you, once he settles the overseas market affairs and everything is on the right track, he will be back."

"That will take a long time..."

Li Xueqing looked dejected, "Ah, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t been sick, I could have gone with your father."

"Mom..."

Ye Li had a look of disapproval, "Nothing is more important than your own body, no matter how big the world is. Your health is the most important!"

"Alright."

Li Xueqing agreed, glanced at the wall clock, and urged Ye Li continuously, "You should head back to your room now. Tell the driver to slow down when driving!"

Saying this, Li Xueqing looked under the pillow, then opened the bedside drawer, casually reminding Ye Li, "Tell Aunt Lan to bring my cellphone tomorrow. I’ll send a video to your dad to see him... without me by his side, he surely hasn’t been eating on time again, and I don’t know if he’s had any stomach pain recently... I packed his suitcase, right? It must have been me, so I packed stomach medicine..."

Closing the door, Ye Li could still hear her mother’s continuous chatter from inside the sickroom, and her tears suddenly fell.

It seemed... she could no longer keep it a secret!

What to do?

In the endless night outside the window, lights from vehicles passed by, distant spots of light approaching and then fading into the inky night, vanishing from sight.

After standing by the window, lost in her thoughts for a long time, Ye Li finally turned and left.

At the instant the elevator doors closed, on the other side, another elevator door opened and Fu Yanci approached swiftly.
