Chapter 1011 - 809: Mei Langchi’s Secret (2)
When I got home, I tried to dry my hair as much as possible, then went into Mei Langchi’s room...
....
"Brother, your illness is already cured. But I can’t test it for you... You know, I don’t do that. But you can go back and try it with your wife. She’ll definitely be very happy." The woman smiled, feeling happy for Mei Langchi.
His own illness was cured, and Mei Langchi was also happy, but as soon as Ye Qing was mentioned, the smile on his face immediately faded.
"Thank you for your treatment recently. Here’s your payment for today." Mei Langchi got dressed and handed the woman five hundred yuan.
The woman was supposed to be happy, but after seeing the money, she didn’t take it. Instead, she lowered her head, bit her lip, and said, "Brother, does this mean you won’t be coming again in the future?"
Mei Langchi paused while dressing, turned to look at the woman, and after a moment of thought, lifted her chin lightly with his hand and asked, "What’s your name?"
"Li Xiao’ai... I’m called Li Xiao’ai." The woman raised her eyes, staring at Mei Langchi with a smile and said, "This is the first time I’m telling a patient my name."
"Hmm... I’ll remember it, Li Xiao’ai." Mei Langchi didn’t respond to Li Xiao’ai’s words and inexplicably said this before directly leaving the room.
Li Xiao’ai, left in the room, was somewhat puzzled, not knowing what Mei Langchi meant.
Li Xiao’ai was a smart person who could read people’s expressions. Seeing that Mei Langchi didn’t seem to want to say anything, she didn’t chase after him for an explanation. Instead, she craned her neck to look out the window, only to see a straight black figure in the pouring rain, slightly mysterious and piquing her curiosity.
....
Ye Qing searched in Mei Langchi’s bedroom for a long time but failed to find anything important, not even an account book, leaving her wondering where Mei Langchi had placed all his money.
Not only that, she was completely unaware of what business Mei Langchi was involved in recently. She was too careless.
Lately, she had been neglecting the Mei Langchi side while focusing on the Mei family’s treasures.
There weren’t any important documents at the old house, nor were there any over here. The only thing left was the courtyard house set up for him by Xie Lingzhi.
Mei Langchi had taken her there once. He just didn’t mention living there, and she didn’t ask to live there either. So the key to that place remained with Mei Langchi.
Perhaps she should go take a look.
When Mei Langchi returned, Ye Qing lay obediently on the bed with her eyes closed, and Mei Langchi, after glancing at her, went directly to his room.
In the evening, Mei Langchi went out to buy food. He asked her to get up to eat, but more importantly, to supervise her taking her medicine.
"I have to drive out for something tomorrow. Take care of yourself at home. If you don’t want to cook, you can buy food outside, or you can go back to the old house." Mei Langchi advised during the meal.
"...Oh, I’m so tired, I don’t want to move about, I’ll just stay home. If I’m hungry, I’ll just buy something nearby to eat." Ye Qing couldn’t wait for him not to be home tomorrow. Regarding food, the only shop open during the new year was nearby, others were far away. They hadn’t prepared much for food during the new year because it wasn’t realistic to cook themselves. Mei Langchi not being at home made it easy to monitor her. All they had to do was ask the nearby shop if she had come to eat there.
However, Mei Langchi didn’t restrict her freedom mainly because after taking medicine, she just wanted to sleep and couldn’t go far at all.
"Remember to take your medicine on time, okay?"
"I know, I will take my medicine properly. You can check when you come back if you don’t believe me." Ye Qing knew he would remind her like this.
Perhaps it was to make Ye Qing obedient; that night, Mei Langchi gently embraced her as they slept.
The next day, the rain had stopped, but the weather was quite cold. Mei Langchi stoked the fire to a roaring warmth, and after watching Ye Qing take her medicine, he drove off.
As Mei Langchi went out the door, Ye Qing quickly tidied up and silently slipped out too, heading towards Mei Langchi’s courtyard house.
Who would’ve thought that Mei Langchi really went to that courtyard house? When Ye Qing arrived, Mei Langchi had already come out with a small follower beside him. The two said something indistinct before driving off again.
Ye Qing watched them leave from a corner and stayed outside the courtyard, observing for a long time, unsure how to get in.
After circling the place, she found that there was a low wall in the back courtyard. Ye Qing approached a neighboring family, gave them a dollar, and borrowed their ladder.
After much effort, Ye Qing managed to climb over the wall into the courtyard. Once inside, it was fine because the door only had a lock hanging on it. Unless looked at closely, it didn’t seem locked.
To be safe, Ye Qing even ran to the main entrance, peered through the crack, and, seeing that Mei Langchi hadn’t returned, dared to enter the house.
Sure enough, looking at the clean teaware, furniture, and sofa, it was evident that Mei Langchi often came here.
Ye Qing took a walk around the house but didn’t find any women’s stuff.
This gave Ye Qing a slight sense of relief.
However, Ye Qing noticed that while the outside door wasn’t locked, an inner room was locked.
There must be something particularly important inside. Ye Qing searched the house for the key but couldn’t find it.
Just as she was about to give up, a flash of inspiration came to her, and she indeed found the room key under a cabinet in the living room.
Ye Qing was delighted. Mei Langchi had commented that her way of hiding things was just like Xie Lingzhi’s, but he didn’t realize he had learned from his own mom too.
No wonder the things she hid were so easily found by him. It turned out he hid his things the same way.
Once Ye Qing got inside, she discovered it was Mei Lang’s study.
There were a lot of files and materials, very messy, suggesting it was frequently used for work.
Ye Qing couldn’t understand what these were, but she did find several approvals on the desk. Government approvals, he actually had so many here?
Besides these, she also discovered that an exhibition event from the previous year was also organized by Mei Langchi.
