Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Madam Li had already left, and Ye Jian was accompanying the fatigued Old Madam Qin, with the emergency room’s light still on, the situation inside unknown.

Qin Xiu’s gaze darkened as he pursed his lips and withdrew his gaze to look at Ye Jian, whispering, ”Sorry.” If it weren’t for him, the Du mother and daughter wouldn’t have said such things.

”Madam Li and her daughter are narrow-minded; what does that have to do with you?” Ye Jian smiled, ”Without you, they wouldn’t have kind words for me anyway. You needn’t take it to heart.”

Although Madam Li’s pointed words were provoked by Qin Xiu, Ye Jian wouldn’t blame him for it. Madam Li and her daughter versus Qin Xiu—she considered them separately. She wouldn’t conflate the two, nor would she take out her anger at them on Qin Xiu.

”Mother, Grandma,” Du Jiayi stormed into the ward, her words still laced with barely concealed fury.

When she passed by just now, she saw that despicable woman continuing to happily chat with Old Madam Qin and Qin Xiu, which infuriated her. Qin Xiu looked like he had been completely enchanted by that vile woman, as if he hadn’t taken a single word she’d said before to heart.

”Du Jiayi, what’s the matter?” Old Madam Li asked her granddaughter, ”Who has provoked you? It’s not that scoundrel again, is it!”

The scoundrel referred to Li Ronghuan. The Old Madam Li, feigning illness due to her stepson and admitted to the hospital, would feel unwell all over just at the mention of Li Ronghuan.

She had not expected that this stepson she had driven to desperation, forcing him out of the Li family, would become such a persistent problem!

”Grandma,” Du Jiayi with a look of aggrievement, walked to Old Madam Li’s bedside, ”It’s all because of that despicable Ye Jian. My mother and I just saw Qin Xiu and Old Madam Qin outside, with Ye Jian accompanying them. What right does Ye Jian have!”

”Alright, Du Jiayi,” Madam Li held back the indignant Du Jiayi. With Old Madam Li already hospitalized because of Li Ronghuan, it was especially important not to disturb her rest with other troubles.

”Mother will handle that girl. You just stay here and keep your grandma company,” the grim-faced Madam Li said to Du Jiayi, ”Don’t trouble your grandma with outside matters.”

She definitely wouldn’t let off the killer who could have caused her brother’s death. And that girl dared to oppose the Li and Du families; Madam Li resolved to make her life a living hell.

”Is that Ye girl the same one Li Ronghuan mentioned before, possibly the one who caused Chuhai’s death?” asked Old Madam Li, propping herself up in bed upon hearing Du Jiayi’s report, visibly agitated.

Madam Li glared at her daughter and then, supporting Old Madam Li, nodded and said, ”Yes, that girl. She must have fed Old Madam Qin some sort of love potion. Just now, when I tried to expose that girl’s true face in front of Old Madam Qin, Old Madam Qin actually defended her vehemently.”

”Even Qin Xiu, that boy, directly questioned me for that wicked girl’s sake. I’m afraid he’s been drugged by her too. Our Du Jiayi is countless times better than that girl! Whether that girl is the murderer who caused Chuhai’s death or not, I won’t let her off easily.”

Madam Li’s emotions swelled as she spoke, her cold voice steeped in malice, ”If Chuhai truly died at her hands, even if the Qin family protects her, I won’t let her off.”

Had she caused her brother’s death and ruined her daughter’s chance at a good match? Was this despicable girl their family’s curse? How come everything had been going wrong since encountering her?
