Chapter 970 No Corpse Intact (3)
Before Huang Yiyi could finish, Gu Siyi sneered coldly and cut her off.
"He wouldn’t dare! I have something that could ruin his reputation, and Shi Yimeng is a smart man; he knows what to do."
...
While Gu Siyi and Huang Yiyi were secretly conspiring, An Yiqing was sitting unhappily in the dining room with her siblings, An Zhihang and An Zhiyan, holding a bowl of chicken soup as if she were about to face her own death.
"Black chicken soup is nourishing for the body. Yesterday, I especially asked Aunt Li to call her brother back home and send us some. Each of you siblings gets one, drink up quickly, it’s good for your health."
An Yiqing looked at the fragrant black chicken soup in her bowl, then glanced up at Old Lady An, who was watching her with a smile. Steeling her heart, she closed her eyes, lifted her head, and with a ’gulugulu’, drank it all.
An Zhihang, sitting in a wheelchair, and An Zhiyan, lying on a small sofa in the dining room, watched An Yiqing gulp down the soup with their mouths agape, wanting to cry but without tears.
Old Lady An had been trying to nourish them for the past few days with bird’s nest, ginseng, chicken soup, and big bones – all greasy and sickly sweet – had they not nearly suffered nosebleeds from it all?
As the one with the most authoritative medical knowledge in the family, An Yiqing swallowed all the grand theories under Old Lady An’s well-intentioned persistence, accepting all the nourishments without refusal.
