Chapter 25 Emergency

  After Sun Cheng left, Yan Qingcheng and Cong Ye both thought that no one would come to congratulate them again, so they sat across from each other. Yan Qingcheng casually opened the red envelope sent by Sun Cheng and found that there were exactly three thousand yuan inside. Yan Qingcheng looked at Cong Ye in surprise, with a look of wanting to say something but stopping herself.

  "He was that veteran I met at the seafood restaurant that day. With these three thousand, the money he owed me is almost paid off."

  Cong Ye knew that Yan Qing Cheng suspected her relationship with Sun Cheng, so she continued to lie. In her heart, however, she thought, let's just consider these three thousand as Sun Cheng's apology money, as long as he doesn't provoke me again in the future, there's no need to settle accounts with him anymore.

  Sun Cheng actually came over today, although he had the intention of continuing to monitor the two under Yu Xiao Peng's orders, but also with an apologetic meaning. He was also from the army and knew that soldiers would develop a habit of not giving up when they were in the army. As long as Cong Ye hadn't been driven out of Guanhai City by Yu Xiao Peng, the two would still have chances to meet. For a businessman, having one less enemy like Cong Ye wasn't a bad thing. Besides, three thousand yuan was nothing and would be earned back from Yu Xiao Peng sooner or later.

  When the sound of high heels came from the stairs, both of them turned their faces to look at the staircase. As soon as the person appeared with half of her head showing, Yan Qingcheng and Cong Ye both stood up.

  The person who came was none other than Lin Li, who looked exactly like Yan Qingcheng and was beside Yu Xiaopeng.

  "Mr. Yan, congratulations on the grand opening!"

  After finishing speaking, he also handed over a thick red envelope.

  Lin Li's sudden appearance was a surprise to Yan Qingcheng and Cong Ye. To say that Yu Fu and Sun Cheng's arrival had been unexpected, Lin Li's appearance was even more beyond their expectations.

  "Thank you, Lin Li."

  Cong Ye Mo silently walked over to the bedside and sat down, yielding his seat to Lin Li.

  "Xiaopeng knew that Dr. Yan's clinic opened today, so he specially called me to come and congratulate him. This small congratulatory gift is not enough to show my respect, please accept it with a smile, Dr. Yan."

  As he spoke, he put the red envelope on the table and gently pushed it in front of Yan Qingcheng.

  "I understand your intention, let's skip the formalities."

  Yan Qingcheng pushed it back with her hand. She was puzzled in her heart, according to Yu Xiaopeng's previous actions, she should be thinking of ways to sabotage the opening of her own medical clinic, how could she still send someone to congratulate her? Moreover, the person sent was exactly like Lin Li, what kind of calculation did Yu Xiaopeng have?

  "Yan Dafu, this is just a small token of my personal feelings, Lin Li. It has nothing to do with Xiao Peng. Are you not even going to give me this little bit of face?"

  As he spoke, he pushed the red envelope over again.

  Today's Lin Li, from the moment she entered to now, has been smiling sincerely, making Yan Qingcheng really unable to refuse. After hesitating for a moment, she gently pushed the red envelope back again and stood up politely, saying:

  "Miss Lin, thank you very much for coming to support me, but this gift, I really can't accept."

  "Hehe, Yan Dafu, you've discovered that we two look very similar, right? Ever since I saw you at the seaside that day, I sometimes think, maybe we're really sisters. Otherwise, how could there be people in this world who look so alike?"

  Lin Li's words were extremely fluent, a long speech came out of her mouth, and it wouldn't make people feel tedious at all.

  "So, whether you're the sister or I'm the sister, we can meet each other is fate. As for the rest, let's not worry about it. Today I came, although there's Xiaopeng's intention in it, but mainly it's my own intention. Otherwise, I could have sent someone else over. You think so, right?"

  After finishing, she turned her head to look at Cong Ye and sent him a seemingly pleading gaze, as if asking Cong Ye to help her say something to persuade Yan Qing Cheng to accept the gift.

  The corners of Cong Ye's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself:

  "What's going on? Are we close friends or something? You want me to persuade your sister-in-law to accept the gift?"

  Since Lin Li came in, Cong Ye had been guessing Yu Xiao Peng's intention. This sudden action was also too unpredictable.

  Lin Li didn't expect Cong Ye to really speak up for her, and the glance she gave him was just a habitual action. It's said that women who are good at making puppy eyes and speaking with their eyes can get what they want most easily, and Lin Li was clearly one of them.

  At this moment, Lin Li no longer mentioned the red envelope and changed the subject to talk about clothes and cosmetics with Yan Qingcheng. Anyway, it was all Lin Li talking, while Yan Qingcheng just echoed her words. After about ten minutes, Lin Li stood up to bid farewell, and Yan Qingcheng hastily picked up the red envelope on the table and tried to stuff it into her hand. However, Lin Li turned around and left as if she hadn't seen Yan Qingcheng's action at all.

  "Auntie Yan won't see me off, I'll come visit you again when I have time."

  Completely like an old familiar person, with the tone of an old friend, Lin Lirong walked down the stairs, leaving only Yan Qingcheng at the entrance of the staircase, somewhat at a loss, holding the red envelope in her hand and looking back at Cong Ye.

  "How did she end up coming?"

  Cong Ye didn't mention what to do with the red envelope in Yan Qingcheng's hand, but instead asked Yan Qingcheng a question, as if asking himself.

  The red envelope Lin Li sent contained 1,000 yuan, which made Yan Qingcheng somewhat believe that it might be Lin Li's own intention. However, from the two of them looking at houses to opening for business, there were only two days in total. As for Yu Fu being able to find out, it was relatively easy to understand, after all, Yu Fu was a socialite with many connections. As for Sun Cheng, although he said he lived nearby and coincidentally saw the medical clinic's promotional page, Yan Qingcheng and Cong Ye didn't believe him at all.

  What makes them even more puzzled is that, as Lin Li said, anyone can be sent over casually, so why did it have to be Lin Li who came?

  The only useful information the two heard from Lin Li's words was that Yu Xiao Peng is no longer in Guan Hai City. Cong Ye was more concerned about this news, thinking to himself, even though Yu Xiao Peng has left, wouldn't he have already made arrangements to deal with him?

  Yan Qingcheng thought of Lin Li's hypothesis that the two of them might be close sisters, and slightly shook her head, thinking to herself:

  "Where would there be such a bloody coincidence?"

  Finally, the two of them no longer entangled in why Lin Li was sent over, this inexplicable problem, unanimously believed that Lin Li's appearance should be Yu Xiaopeng warning them in such a way, meaning that all your moves are under my control.

  "Sister-in-law, I'll move here tonight."

  "What?"

  Yan Qingcheng subconsciously asked a question.

  "I'm worried they'll take advantage of the night when no one is around and come in to cause trouble."

  Yan Qingshen stared at Cong Ye's eyes for three seconds, then lowered her head and nodded slightly. In her heart, she was unwilling to let Cong Ye move in. Since her mother-in-law passed away, she had been living alone in that small courtyard. At first, it was okay, as most of the residents on Sunshine Lane hadn't moved out yet. But as the neighbors dwindled day by day, the entire Sunshine Lane became desolate and depressing, especially at night, when a boundless sense of loneliness surrounded her. However, as a woman, she couldn't bring herself to ask Cong Ye to stay.

  Cong Ye also discovered the expression on Yan Qingcheng's face, and for a moment, there was a change, but before he could grasp what that expression meant, Yan Qingcheng had already returned to normal.

  That afternoon, Cong Ye moved over. It wasn't until after dinner that he threw Yan Qingcheng alone in the yard, Cong Ye realized that his decision seemed to have overlooked something. But it's already like this, let's talk about it again in two days.

  Lying on the small bed in the clinic, for a moment, Congye seemed to have returned to the barracks. The beds in the barracks were basically this size and just as hard. Because there were no curtains on the windows, the flashing neon lights of various styles on the street, as well as the headlights of passing cars, kept Congye awake until midnight. He thought to himself, in two days, he would use this as an excuse to move back home. Nowadays, there were almost no residents left in Rizhao Alley. It was really not suitable for his sister-in-law to live alone there.

  In a daze, Cong Ye was just about to fall asleep when he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs. Cong Ye quickly got up, put on his clothes and came to the door to wait.

  "Bang, bang, bang."

  By the sound of the rustling leaves, Cong Ye knew that someone was knocking on the door with their palm.

  "Who is it?"

  "Doctor, doctor, open the door quickly."

  Congye casually opened the door and a figure quickly slipped in, grabbed Congye's hand and pulled him out.

  "Doctor, come to my home quickly, my grandfather is dying."

  Congye only then saw clearly that the person who came was a man in his twenties, not yet thirty.

  "You should call 120 then."

  "It's been hit, don't know what happened tonight, 120 has all been dispatched, said the fastest will take half an hour to arrive."

  At this time, Cong Ye had already been dragged downstairs by the newcomer.

  "Why don't we just carry the patient out and send him to the hospital by taxi?"

  "My grandfather has this old illness, last time when it relapsed, the doctor repeatedly warned that if it happens again, under no circumstances should anyone who doesn't understand medicine touch his body, otherwise the consequences would be unthinkable."

  Cong Ye thought, what kind of illness is this, how can a doctor give such instructions?

  Cong Ye didn't say he wasn't a doctor at first, thinking that by following the man to his home, he might be able to help carry the patient or something. Now they had entered the residential area, the man said to Cong Ye:

  "The building in front, first floor."

  Cong Ye knew that if he said again that he wasn't a doctor, he would probably get beaten up. After all, it wouldn't do to cause such big trouble for his sister-in-law on the first day of opening the clinic. However, he overlooked the fact that once he arrived, he might not be able to help with anything, and wouldn't that bring even bigger trouble?
