Chapter 996 - 801: Ye Qing’s Confusion (2)
...
The next day, when Ye Qing woke up, Mei Langchi had already returned from outside with breakfast, smiling as he called her to get up.
"Hurry up and get up. It snowed outside today, so I put your clothes in the blanket to warm them up. It won’t be cold to wear now."
Ye Qing sat up in a daze, feeling that the events happening now were somewhat unreal. When she saw Mei Langchi smiling early in the morning, buying breakfast and warming clothes for her, the feeling was too real to refuse.
"Yesterday?"
"Alright, put on your clothes and have breakfast first." Mei Langchi abruptly interrupted Ye Qing, not giving her a chance to ask questions. He went directly out the door.
Once outside, Mei Langchi’s expression immediately turned cold.
After the two finished breakfast, Ye Qing frowned slightly and said, "Langchi, did Miao Miao really come a few days ago?"
"Yes, you see that hundred thousand yuan; she handed it to you herself," Mei Langchi said, pointing at the money on the table.
Ye Qing now felt genuinely bewildered. She hadn’t seen Miao Miao at all, so why was there a hundred thousand yuan?
Now, she urgently needed to see Miao Miao in person and desperately wanted to visit the port in G City to see if her factory was still there.
If it truly was, perhaps... was it really like Mei Langchi said—was she really ill?
No, she was in good health; how could she be ill? That couldn’t be. Just a few days ago, she was planning with Qu Liushou to steal those antiques from the Mei Family.
"Time to take your medicine." While Ye Qing was lost in thought, Mei Langchi had already brought the medicine in front of her.
"Mei Langchi, I’m not sick. Why take medicine?" Ye Qing snapped back to reality and quickly shook her head.
"Alright, don’t be stubborn. Hurry and take your medicine." Mei Langchi was not angry; he patiently continued urging her to take the medicine.
"Langchi, I’m really not sick. Aren’t you just taking revenge because you found that box? Langchi, I know I was wrong, I really do. Why can’t you trust me? Besides, that box, I really picked it up. I really did. If you don’t believe me, look at Qu Liushou; you captured him, right? Didn’t he say I wasn’t involved?"
Mei Langchi looked at Ye Qing’s anxious expression but said nothing, just scrutinized her for a long time before suddenly standing up and taking a medical record out of a drawer.
"Take the medicine, and then look at this medical record."
"What medical record? Let me see." Ye Qing quickly stood up, eager to find out what it was.
However, Mei Langchi took it aside, not letting her touch it at all. "You’re a bit mentally foggy and emotionally agitated. Take the medicine first and then see."
"I’m not sick; I’m very normal right now."
"If you’re normal, can you claim you stole something? If you’re normal, can you forget where you’ve been and who you’ve seen? Alright, Ah Qing, don’t be childish. Take your medicine, rest for a while after, you really need a good rest now."
"No, no, no, Langchi, I... I really didn’t steal them, those things were all Qu Liushou’s doing, really, really not me."
"Ah Qing, don’t be afraid, I know it wasn’t your intention; it was because you were unwell that you did the wrong thing. Take your medicine first, and have a good rest after. I’ll handle the remaining matters."
"Handle? Langchi, how do you plan to handle it?" Ye Qing heard the key point—that Mei Langchi wanted to help her settle this incident. This delighted Ye Qing. If Mei Langchi helped resolve it, she wouldn’t need to hurriedly escape.
"Take your medicine first, I’ll tell you while you eat." Mei Langchi pushed the medicine towards Ye Qing, urging her.
Ye Qing looked down at it and thought, isn’t it just medicine for mental illness? Taking a few doses wouldn’t hurt, and besides, this wasn’t bad—see how good Mei Langchi was to her now.
Having made up her mind, Ye Qing took the medicine without hesitation.
Seeing this, Mei Langchi smiled at her and then showed her the medical record. "You didn’t believe what I said yesterday; now take a look yourself, and you’ll understand everything."
Ye Qing looked at it in confusion, finding it was a psychiatric diagnosis, and the name on it was actually hers.
Ye Qing’s eyes widened, staring at it for a long time, unable to believe that the date was just a few days after Xie Lingzhi had fallen ill.
"That day after our mom fell ill, grandma punished you by making you kneel all night. The next day, you developed a high fever and were unconscious for two days before waking up. After you awoke, you were like a different person; at first, we thought you had changed, but later on, we noticed you becoming more and more abnormal, often forgetful, not remembering things you had done. I was worried, so I took you for a check-up the other day. When you found out about this illness, fearing you’d forget things, you specifically contacted your assistant to come over. That day, you took us to the store. You even told Miao Miao you wanted to sell the factory because you were mentally foggy and couldn’t manage it anymore, but after persuasion from me and your assistant, you gave up the idea... Ah Qing, don’t worry, I won’t treat you like that again. I’ll take good care of you for the rest of our days, never letting you suffer again."
"I... how can this be?" That day, it was clearly when Hua Hua took the thing, then her attitude suddenly changed. How could it be a fever? "Langchi, didn’t you remember wrongly? I didn’t have one."
"Your memory has been increasingly confused recently, so what you think in your head is all your imagination. You need more rest for this illness, calm and quiet recuperation. The New Year is coming; focus on recovering, if it doesn’t work after taking a look, we’ll go to the hospital."
"Memory confusion?" Ye Qing found it hard to believe. She was now starting to feel bewildered again, not understanding what was really happening.
