40: Chapter 40 Jian Si Exposes Ye Qingqing’s Scheme

40 -40 Jian Si Exposes Ye Qingqing’s Scheme

Jian Si’s smile was tinged with a mocking edge as she raised an eyebrow.

She had to admit, Ye Qingqing was constantly elevating her game.

Aware that making a scene and going berserk would only push Lu Youting further away, she had switched to a gentler strategy, advancing by seeming to retreat.

Lu Yanbai despised her, especially her tears.

Frowning and with impatience, he said, “Daddy and Mommy have made up.

Daddy admitted last night that the one he loves is Mommy.

Crying is useless.

He’s not going to marry you.”

His words were like pouring fuel on the fire.

Ye Qingqing’s delicate body swayed weakly.

“Youting, is what Xiao Bai said true?”

Before Lu Youting could respond, Lu Yanbai added, “Of course it’s true!

Daddy promised me that from now on, we’ll be together every day as a family of three, and Daddy and Mommy will sleep with me every night.”

Imagining them sharing a bed every night, Ye Qingqing felt as if she were plunged into cold water, the world spinning around her before she collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Jian Si laughed silently: “…??”

Quite the self-sacrificing ploy.

Such exquisite acting skills wasted if not on the stage.

Lu Youting said disapprovingly, “Xiao Bai, she’s your auntie!

You can’t speak to your auntie like that.”

“Hmph!

She wants to take my Daddy away, and I don’t like her!” Lu Yanbai pouted, tilting his head proudly.

Lu Youting sighed and gave him a helpless look, then walked over and bent down to pick Ye Qingqing up from the ground, checking on her anxiously, “Qingqing, how are you?

Qingqing…”

Jian Si’s lips curled up slyly and she quickly said, “I’m a doctor, lay her on the bed quickly, and I’ll examine her.”

Lu Youting, without suspicion, laid Ye Qingqing on the bed.

Jian Si performed a thorough examination, concluding, “She’s fainted from excessive heartache.

It’s nothing serious; a few acupuncture needles should do the trick.”

Lu Youting: “Acupuncture needles?”

“Acupuncture!” As she spoke, Jian Si took out a pack of disposable acupuncture needles from her suitcase.

Lu Youting was flustered: “…??

Aren’t you a Western doctor?

You know acupuncture too?”

Ye Qingqing, unconscious, felt all the hairs on her body stand on end.

Her fingers twitched spasmodically.

Jian Si noticed her subtle movements and smiled meaningfully, “I taught myself from medical books!

I have a knack for it, picked it up right away.”

“Self-taught?” Lu Youting’s mouth twitched involuntarily, debating whether to send Ye Qingqing to the hospital but worried it would be too obvious and hurt Jian Si’s pride.

“I haven’t practiced it, but locating acupoints will be fine!

If I get it wrong, I’ll just start over.” After saying this, while busying herself with undoing Ye Qingqing’s clothes, Jian Si leaned close and whispered in her ear, audible only to them, “I know you’re faking it.

Keep pretending if you dare.

If Lu Youting learns your true nature, guess what he’d think?

He’ll be deeply disappointed, won’t he?”

Ye Qingqing’s heart trembled violently.

Anger clenched her teeth—she almost couldn’t keep up the act and wanted to jump up from the bed to hit Jian Si.

Lu Yanbai, curious, climbed over, “Mommy, what’s acupuncture?

I want to learn too.”

Jian Si smiled and said, “Okay, Mommy will teach you!

I’ll find the acupoints, and you do the needling!

Remember, the needle has to go in firmly—just don’t break it; that would be a hassle.”

Lu Yanbai was exceptionally excited.

“That sounds so interesting!

Teach me, Mommy!”

“Be careful not to needle yourself—it hurts!” Jian Si truly handed him a needle, then started to locate acupoints on Ye Qingqing’s body.

Watching their methodical and professional-looking procedure, Lu Youting couldn’t bear to interrupt.

He thought it best to allow them to insert one needle; if it didn’t work, they could still go to the hospital later.

Feeling the hands roaming on her body, Ye Qingqing felt a wave of despair.

She didn’t want to be their guinea pig.

But if she woke now, wouldn’t Youting see through her feigned fainting?

She had wept so pitifully last night, finally coaxing him into forgiving her.

What if this caused him to be angry with her again?

As she hesitated, Jian Si had already located the Quchi Acupoint, directing Lu Yanbai to begin the needling, “Xiao Bai, right here, take the longest needle and insert two-thirds of it—”

Ye Qingqing, though she had never studied Chinese medicine,

was nonetheless fluent in all seven hundred and twenty acupoints.

The acupoint Jian Si was currently targeting was completely off, by an inch.

If she punctured carelessly, and happened to hit a nerve, causing nerve damage, Ye Qingqing’s life would be over.

Feeling the icy needle pierce her skin, burrowing deeper into her flesh, Ye Qingqing trembled with fear, unable to care about anything else, and suddenly sat up straight in bed.

“I’m fine now, I’m fine…

no need for sister to go to such trouble…”

Before she could finish, Lu Yanbai cried out in fright, “Ah…

it’s over…

the needle…

the needle…”

Ye Qingqing’s heart almost stopped beating in fright.

“What happened?

Did the needle break inside?”

After saying this, without waiting for Lu Yanbai to answer, she grabbed Jian Si by her collar, “You did this on purpose, didn’t you?

You know he’s just a four-year-old child, and you let him give me acupuncture.

What does he know?

You did this intending to kill me, didn’t you?

Your heart is so vicious.

If something happened to me, I would make sure you went down with me.”

Lu Yanbai feigned an overly frightened expression.

“Auntie, didn’t you faint?

How do you know it was me who gave you the needle?” After saying this, he covered his mouth, pretending to have a sudden realization, “Could it be that you were faking it just now!”

Ye Qingqing was about to explode with rage.

“You knew I was pretending, so you deliberately took the chance to torture me?

And you intentionally broke the needle inside my body, Jian Si, what kind of mother are you?

Even Xiao Bai’s been spoiled by you!”

Jian Si, nearly breathless from being throttled, pushed her off, then patted her collar, her face covered with frost.

“I was merely treating others the way they treated me!”

Ye Qingqing, mad with the urge to confront her, was finally stopped by Lu Youting, who was beyond his limits of patience.

“Have you had enough?”

Ye Qingqing reluctantly retracted her clawing hand, pursed her lips, and looked at Lu Youting with grievance, her eyes brimming with tears, “Youting, Jian Si and Xiao Bai are ganging up to bully me!

You have to stand up for me!”

Lu Youting’s fingers and temples both trembled, his eyes cold as frost glaring at her.

“Look carefully before you speak!”

Ye Qingqing looked toward the site on her arm where Lu Yanbai had attempted acupuncture.

She saw a 50mm long needle, misplaced by an inch next to the Quchi Acupoint, half of it stuck in her flesh, but the upper half wasn’t broken, just bent.

“…??”

Ye Qingqing turned to Lu Youting with an embarrassed smile, more unsightly than crying, “Youting, I…

I was just…”

She stammered for a long time before finally coming up with a plausible explanation, “I really did faint just now!

My sister’s skill is so good, with just one needle she woke me up.”

Jian Si’s lips curled into a cold smile, “Ye Qingqing, do you really think everyone here is a fool?”

Ye Qingqing wished she could kill Jian Si.

She pulled the needle out from her Quchi Acupoint, hopped off the bed, and grabbed Lu Youting’s sleeve, “Youting, I’m telling the truth!

Do you know how much it hurts me to see you with Sisi?

You said you’d never betray me in this lifetime.”

Jian Si, no longer wishing to witness their affectionate display, took Lu Yanbai’s hand, “Xiao Bai, let’s go have breakfast.”

Lu Yanbai pouted, unwilling to leave, “No, I want to watch over them.

I won’t let Daddy do anything to betray you.”

Jian Si, amused by his grown-up manner, forcibly dragged him away, “Don’t worry, your Daddy is an adult and knows his limits!

Do you like double skin milk?

There’s also Tiramisu.

Mommy’s desserts are delicious.”

Lu Yanbai, still a child, was quickly distracted by Jian Si and followed her out.

“I love eating the things Mommy makes the most, make more, I want to take them to the hospital.”

“Sure…”

Their voices grew fainter and fainter.

And with the closing of the door, they were gone completely—
