"No, Mom, you've raised me for eighteen years. I would never repay kindness with enmity," Li Yusha spoke earnestly, pouring her heart out.
At that moment, Dr. Zhang arrived, and Li Yusha hurriedly pretended to be in pain, clinging pitifully to Song Qiaoying. She even started talking about their childhood.
Li Yihan had just returned and stumbled upon this scene. Unable to resist, he asked, "What's happening?"
"Big brother, I accidentally fell..." Li Yusha, supported by a servant, collapsed onto the sofa, putting on a pitiful expression.
"How did you fall?"
Before Li Yihan walked over, he placed the things he had bought on the road in front of Qing Yan. "Take a look, do you like them?"
"Big brother is biased! Sister has something, but I don't!" Li Yusha pretended to be jealous, pouting in an affected and nauseating manner.
"What didn't you have before?" Li Yihan said and added, "Besides, you have no use for it."
What was it that she had no use for?
Li Yusha looked on with anticipation...
Qing Yan opened the small gift box, revealing a complete set of limited edition lipsticks.
"You can use them when you go to work, Qing Yan. I heard that many girls have been fighting over this set recently."
He contacted the brand directly and declined their offer of several sets, choosing to buy them instead.
The gift he gave to his sister was different from the one given by the brand.
Li Yusha felt a bit angry. She could also use the lipstick when attending banquets or birthday parties. It was obvious that her big brother was showing favoritism!
"Thank you, big brother," Qing Yan said gently.
Hearing the term "big brother," Li Yihan's mood improved even more, and his gaze softened. "If you need anything in the future, just tell your big brother, and I'll buy it for you."
At this time, Dr. Zhang finished examining Li Yusha and found that it was just a bruise with some swelling, nothing serious. However, being a young lady, she had to be given some medicine.
"Ouch, it hurts..." Whenever the servant applied medicine to Li Yusha, she would intermittently cry out in pain, frequently interrupting the conversation between the siblings.
Dr. Zhang couldn't say anything about it. It was just a bruise and swelling, but the young lady was being overly dramatic. One would think she had broken a bone.
Qing Yan's phone vibrated twice. It was a call from Grandpa Bai. She stood up and said, "I'll go upstairs first."
"Yan Yan." Li Yihan wanted to chat with her a bit more, but seeing her departing figure, he seemed somewhat unhappy.
What happened?
At this moment, Zhang Ma hurriedly spoke, "Young Master, take a look at Miss Yusha. She keeps complaining of pain..."
"So delicate." Li Yihan cast a reproachful glance at her and said, "Someone, help Miss Yusha upstairs to rest. We'll join her for dinner later."
"Big brother, I'm not being delicate. It really hurts..." Li Yusha coquettishly protested.
"Grandfather Bai." Qing Yan ascended the stairs, his voice gentle. "How have you been lately?"
"Not good, not good at all! It's been almost a month, and you haven't even called me once! I'm tired of being with those old men every day! Last time, Yan Laotou was bragging to me about having a meal with you! Hmph, he didn't invite me! He left me behind!"
Through the phone, Qing Yan could imagine the expression of him being angry and fuming. He couldn't help but smile faintly. "It was Yan Grandfather's birthday last time."
"I don't care! I'm going to visit you in a couple of days! You better treat me to a sumptuous meal, even better than what he had. I want to take pictures and show him, to outdo him! Oh, by the way, the college entrance exam results will be out soon. Let me make it clear: you are not allowed to consider any other universities. Even if you want to play around at the school, you have to think about me!"
Qing Yan's lips curled up. "Alright."
Grandfather Bai rambled on for a few more sentences before finally hanging up the phone.
Rain Sha was helped into the room and handed a diamond bracelet to Zhang Ma. "I can't conveniently transfer money to Aunt Li and Xiao Qin right now. You shouldn't make it too obvious either. Find a few reliable people and have them transfer some money to Xiao Qin's and Aunt Li's accounts respectively."
If it weren't for them today, her reputation would have been completely ruined!
"Remember, don't leave any evidence."
"Miss, rest assured." Zhang Ma put away the bracelet, knowing that it was worth a million. She couldn't help but ask, "So, Miss, you mean each person gets 500,000?"
"Each person gets 250,000, and the remaining 500,000 is for you. You helped me today and got injured in the process. If you hadn't spoken up for me and made up a boyfriend on the spot, judging from my mother's expression, it seemed like she would swallow me alive!"
The more Rain Sha thought about it, the angrier she became. "She clearly said she would treat me as her own daughter, but when there's a conflict of interest between me and her daughter, she unconditionally sides with her own people! To her, I'm just an outsider!"
"Miss, Madam has already been very tolerant."
"And big brother, you bought a gift for Qing Yan, but I didn't get anything!" Li Yusha was furious. Everyone ignored her, and that annoying Qing Yan had to come back! Why did she have to make trouble for her?
"I took the liberty of making up a boyfriend for you... Miss, you could also consider continuing to pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend with Ji Shao. That way, the master and madam won't suspect anything! Our plan can proceed smoothly too."
Li Yusha also thought the same way. Although Ji Tiancheng was not her ideal target and even a bit annoying, at least he could be used as a shield. In the future, she could make him do whatever she wanted!
After much deliberation, Li Yusha took out her phone and sent him a WeChat message.
"It was your birthday the day before yesterday, and you made a birthday wish. Today, I'm here to help you fulfill it."
The other person was overjoyed and immediately called her, "Sasa, did you agree to my pursuit? Are you finally willing to be my girlfriend? That's great!"
"It's just a trial phase; we can't consider it a real relationship yet..."
"You're willing to give me a chance, and I'm already very happy! Sasa, can I come to see you now? I have so much to tell you!" Ji Tiancheng had liked her for six years and wanted to hold her in his hands and spoil her.
Li Yusha took the opportunity to hint, "There's a movie tonight; I heard it's really good..."
"What's the name of it? I'll fly back to the country immediately and take you to see it."
Li Yusha couldn't help but wonder as she heard him instructing someone to book a plane ticket, "Are you abroad?"
"I'm accompanying my sister for shopping in France and checking out our subsidiary here. Sasa, do you like France? I'll bring you here someday to see the lavender fields; they're beautiful!"
"Let's talk about it later." Li Yusha told him the name of the movie and hung up.
During dinner time, Aunt Lan and Zhang Ma separately went upstairs to call the two young ladies to eat. They glanced at each other with dissatisfaction and disgust, then quickly looked away.
"Madam and the five young masters have been with Miss Yusha for eighteen years. This deep bond cannot be replaced by mere blood relations."
When Zhang Ma went upstairs, she kept her eyes straight ahead and spoke with a sense of arrogance.
Aunt Lan didn't look at her and coldly mocked, "Doesn't your injured body hurt anymore? I thought this fall would knock some sense into you, but it seems you've become even dumber! If you can't speak, then shut up and stop showing off your intelligence here."
