What Li Qingcang did not say was, “What if Lu Jijun had killed Ye Linlang?”
So many years have passed, and they couldn’t find any evidence.
What was more important was that he actually suspected that Ye Tianxin might not be Lu Jijun’s daughter.
As for why he had such a suspicion…
It was because Ye Tianxin and Lu Jijun did not look alike at all.
Even though Ye Tianxin might resemble her mother, it was impossible for her not to share even the slightest feature with her father.
Furthermore, he thought that a man like Lu Jijun couldn’t have a daughter who was as kind and intelligent as Ye Tianxin.
“It is such a pity that I don’t want to have anything to do with Lu Jijun. Otherwise, I might be able to find out something from him.”
Ye Tianxin also realized that something was off after hearing Li Qingcang’s reminder.
Whether in her past life or this life, Lu Jijun seemed to be hiding something from her.
She had never suspected Lu Jijun in her past life. That was because she was silly and gullible…
“There’s no need to look for him.”
Li Qingcang did not believe in a single word Lu Jijun said.
“A person who is involved in the matter will always be subjective. We can’t just take his word for it and have to investigate for ourselves.”
Ye Tianxin thought about it and agreed that Li Qingcang did make sense.
However, would this cause too much trouble for Li Qingcang?
Ye Tianxin hesitated for a moment before speaking to Li Qingcang. “Elder Brother Li, I’ve troubled you again.”
“…”
Li Qingcang stretched out his hand and extended two fingers to flick Ye Tianxin on her forehead.
Ye Tianxin clutched her forehead and grumbled, “It hurts!”
“This is to remind you not to speak nonsense in the future.”
Li Qingcang stood up and turned to Ye Tianxin. He said, “Accompany your grandmother tonight. She will undergo surgery tomorrow.”
After the meeting with the specialists, Grandmother’s surgery was scheduled at 10 in the morning tomorrow.
Grandmother would return with Ye Tianxin to the town of Jiameng after the surgery to rest and recover.
Ye Tianxin was registered as a student in the town of Jiameng. The college entrance examination was not nationwide, so she could not take the exams somewhere else and had to return to the Jiameng High School to take them.
“Elder Brother Li, my grandmother will be okay, right?”
Li Qingcang reached out to soothe the spot on Ye Tianxin’s forehead he had just flicked.
“The chief surgeon is the best in the country. The other surgeons are all experts, so everything will be fine!”
“I know, but I am still worried. I couldn’t help it…”
Li Qingcang did not know how to comfort Ye Tianxin. He understood how she was feeling. He could only stay by her side silently.
That night, Ye Tianxin slept with her grandmother.
The surgery was scheduled for the next day, so Grandmother had to start fasting that night. She could not even have a glass of water.
“Tianxin, come here. I have something to tell you.”
Grandmother motioned for Ye Tianxin to sit in front of her. She held Ye Tianxin’s hands and said softly, “Tianxin, if I don’t make it after the surgery tomorrow—”
“Grandmother, that won’t happen. Everything will be fine,” Ye Tianxin hurriedly interrupted her grandmother. She would not allow anything to happen to her grandmother.
Grandmother smiled as she caressed Ye Tianxin’s face and then said, “You silly child… No surgery is a hundred percent successful. They all come with risks. Even C-sections are risky. I’m just saying, just in case, if I don’t wake up again tomorrow, you have to take the exams and go to college. As for the tuition fee, you have my blessing—you can sell the house. However, there are some things in the house you have to take with you. You must. Move my bed—I’ve laid tiles on the floor. Move the tiles away, and there will be a box beneath those tiles. Remember to take the things in the box with you. Also, there is a cupboard in the attic. The things in that cupboard belong to your mother…”
