I nodded. Mr. Li was truly thoughtful.
“What about that maid?” I asked Jing Tian.
Jing Tian’s expression turned somewhat ugly. “She’s from the Jing Family. She was under Jing Yan’s order. Either they didn’t know or didn’t believe your Phoenix Blood. They have a grudge against you and want to kill you.”
I imagined Jing Yan’s arrogant and despotic appearance in my mind. This was indeed something that she would do!
“Then don’t touch her. Leave her to me. I’ll handle it myself,” I said to Jing Tian.
My little uncle said, “Take good care of your body. I don’t need you for this kind of thing. Leave it to me.” He shot a glance at Jing Tian. “I hope some people won’t decide to protect his family. The fact that I didn’t charge to the Jing Family now is already my limit.”
I hastily said, “Little uncle, don’t accuse Jing Tian! He won’t protect the Jing Family. Plus, leave this maid to me. I want to have a little fine. Plus, this matter is small anyway.”
Little Uncle wanted to say something, but Mai Qi stopped him. “I agree with Nanxing. Let us handle this ourselves. You should focus on the bigger things. Didn’t you say that someone wanted to cooperate with us using Nanxing’s blood?”
Little Uncle’s expression hardened. “Those people must be crazy. They basically want to sell Nanxing’s blood as medicine.”
With this reminder, I asked Jing Tian, “Aren’t we going to cooperate with them? Are we playing hard to get?”
Jing Tian shook his head. “Not really. The Lin family’s reaction so far is too strange. We don’t feel too good about this, so we decide to observe for now. Besides, if they decide to use you as an experiment, then forget it. We don’t need them.”
I reached out to hold Jing Tian’s hand.
Jing Tian understood what I meant. He glanced at cousin Mo. “If we have to sacrifice you to the Lin Family to get the medicine to cure your Cousin Mo, do you think he will agree?”
I looked at cousin Mo. He said, “Nanxing, we agreed to do our best and leave the rest to fate. We shouldn’t try to go against fate.”
I finally nodded. “Brother, I understand your intentions. But you have to understand me too. To me, my Phoenix Blood isn’t as important as a single finger of yours.”
Cousin Mo smiled. “Nanxing, I’ve been sick for many years. I’ve been in a wheelchair for many years. I’m already satisfied that I can stand and walk again. If you sacrifice yourself for me again, I won’t be able to accept it.”
I understood his feelings and changed the topic to a more relaxed one. “Hurry up and marry Ye Qian. Give cousin-in-law a proper identity so that people won’t gossip about her anymore.”
Cousin Mo was a little embarrassed. “But uncle isn’t married yet.”
I looked at my little uncle with a dissatisfied expression. Before I could say anything, my little uncle already said with hatred, “Hey, what are you doing dragging me into this? Are you going to marry tomorrow if I get married today?”
Cousin Mo nodded. “Alright, it’s decided then. I’ll get married on the day after you get married.”
We couldn’t help but laugh.
Mai Qi blushed.
My little uncle held her hand. “Let’s go. We should get away from these kids. We have things to do anyway.”
After saying that, he grabbed Mai Qi and walked out.
“Why are you running away? Are you afraid of marriage? Let me tell you, if you don’t marry Mai Qi, she will be pursued by others! Tong Le, you need to be more anxious about this!” I shouted at their backs. Everyone laughed without restraint.
