Chapter 2054  : I Said, Don’t Mess With Me Waves of anger crashed towards Ye Qingqiu from afar. She felt as though the explosion had exploded in her head again.

“Serves him right? You said he deserved to die?”

Lian Lili was so frightened by Ye Qingqiu’s anger that her body trembled. In her panic, she suddenly raised the fruit knife in her hand. “What do you want?”

Ye Qingqiu froze on the spot.

Seeing her retreat, Lian Lili’s heart calmed down and her face revealed a cold smile.

“Am I wrong? I didn’t ask you to save me. You made the decision yourself and brought that cowardly follower up to die! If you didn’t come up back then, how could he have died?”

The veins on Ye Qingqiu’s forehead were obvious on her fair skin. Although she was slender, it showed her extreme anger.

“Even if I really came up because I was cheap, if you hadn’t been in a deadlock with me for Liang Xuer, she would have been fine and Brother Ye Ze wouldn’t have died… No normal person would say such things…”

Liang Xuer, who was on the bed, also sensed Ye Qingqiu’s dangerous emotions, especially when she saw the sharp fruit knife in Lian Lili’s hand. Her eyes flickered.

Enduring the pain, she propped herself up and spat out the words in an unpleasant voice.

“Ye Qingqiu, don’t forget that it was you who said that you wanted to go upstairs to get the wedding gown. So even if we really got on the rescue plane from the start, Ye Ze wouldn’t get on the plane and would even turn back…”

Ye Qingqiu’s face froze.

Liang Xuer’s voice was filled with pain as she panted. “Moreover, Ye Ze used his body to protect you back then. No matter what, you shouldn’t blame me and Aunt Lian for Ye Ze’s death…”

Ye Qingqiu was speechless. No matter why she wanted to go upstairs to get the wedding gown, it was no longer important. Lian Lili and Liang Xuer were right.

She had known from the start.

However, Brother Ye Ze had saved them in the end. They owed Brother Ye Ze a thank you, not to mention that he deserved to die.

This was not worth forgiving.

How could there be such a person?

How could there be such a shameless person?

Her hands were clenched into fists and her body was trembling.

Lian Lili was feeling smug. Seeing her in pain, she couldn’t help but look smug.

Ye Qingqiu was too similar to Mi Rao back then, be it in personality or appearance.

She was a promiscuous woman who was obviously nothing, but she led a carefree and arrogant life.

However, those men all liked her.

Even when Mi Rao died back then, she didn’t see her in pain. Now, she finally saw her daughter.

She saw the Mi Rao in her imagination.

Ha.

There was joy and smugness in her eyes. Ye Qingqiu suddenly wanted to stab her ruthlessly.

After a long while, she suddenly chuckled and spoke slowly.

“Lian Lili, do you know why I saved you? It’s not because I have designs on you and want you to not stop Li Tingshen from getting married. Actually, you don’t know yet…”

She forced a faint smile and slowly raised her left hand.

Seeing Lian Lili’s gaze shift to her hand, he said slowly, “We’re already married.”

Lian Lili’s face froze. Even Liang Xuer, who was lying on the bed, looked at Ye Qingqiu in disbelief.

Ye Qingqiu felt that it was no wonder Lian Lili could use such extreme and harsh words to face her.

Now she understood. This was indeed refreshing and satisfying.

“A few days after I was almost bullied by Young Master Qin, he proposed to me.”

Lian Lili’s already strange spirit suddenly turned ferocious. “Nonsense!”

“Have you really never seen such a ring on Li Tingshen? Or do you want to see the marriage certificate? It’s in the drawer of Li Tingshen’s bedroom.”

Lian Lili was stunned for a few seconds. Staring at the ring on Ye Qingqiu’s ring finger, her face twisted again.

“No! I don’t believe it! He promised me…”

Ye Qingqiu interrupted her coldly, “Tell me, why did he suddenly propose to me? I had clearly given up on him at that time. Now that I think about it, I was with another man those few days… Did he fall in love with me?”

“Shut up!” Lian Lili was still restraining herself. The knife in her hand trembled slightly. “He will never fall in love with you. He promised me…”

Ye Qingqiu raised her eyebrows and nodded. “Oh, so other than the reason that he loves me, I really can’t figure out why he chose to marry me without telling you…”

“It’s because of the Ye Corporation. It’s because of the shares.”

Ye Qingqiu’s eyes flashed. “In that case, it’s good to be righteous. Why did I choose to lie to you? I can’t figure it out.”

Liang Xuer slowly recovered from her shock. She looked at the knife in Lian Lili’s hand and gritted her teeth.

“Ye Qingqiu, if you’re done visiting me, can you go out immediately? I heard from Brother Tingshen that Uncle is not out of danger yet. He doesn’t have much time left. If you have the time, why don’t you accompany him…”

Ye Qingqiu’s eyes darkened and she turned to look at Liang Xuer coldly. “What nonsense are you spouting? Who said that I don’t have much time left…”

Liang Xuer sensed that Lian Lili’s gaze had suddenly landed on her. She endured the searing pain and continued,

“Brother Tingshen told me that because Auntie treats Uncle… I’ve been hiding it from her…”

“What did you say? Ye Jianyun is going to die? Jianyun is going to die?!”

Lian Lili’s sharp voice suddenly interrupted. Ye Qingqiu frowned. Just as she turned her head, she saw Lian Lili’s crazy gaze on her. He held the knife tightly and stabbed her stomach.

Ye Qingqiu was shocked. She subconsciously clutched her stomach and took two steps back before pouncing on him again.

“It’s all your fault, you jinx!”

Ye Qingqiu took a few steps back and bumped into the cabinet behind her. She had no choice but to grab Lian Lili’s wrist.

“Are you crazy?!”

Her hands seemed to be trembling, shaking Ye Qingqiu’s tense nerves.

Lian Lili’s eyes were bloodshot and tears streamed down her face. She looked at Ye Qingqiu with unconcealable madness and hatred.

“It’s all your fault. If it weren’t for you, Jianyun would have been fine! Everyone will be fine. You’re a jinx. Why don’t you die and find Mi Rao to stop harming others…”

Ye Qingqiu was still in shock. She actually…

Why did she care so much about her father?

What was going on in her mind?

If he loved her father so much, why did he want to kill her now?

“Tingshen promised me that he wouldn’t fall in love with you…”

In her eyes, Ye Qingqiu became Mi Rao, then Ye Qingqiu, and then Mi Rao.

Seeing her dazed expression, Ye Qingqiu lowered her gaze to the knife in her hand. Just as she was about to snatch the knife away, Lian Lili suddenly grabbed her hand tightly.

Ye Qingqiu frowned, but Lian Lili gave her a cruel smile. “I remember telling you at the Li Corporation that even if I die, I will hate you forever…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Lian Lili suddenly grabbed Ye Qingqiu’s hand, turned the handle of the knife, and stabbed it into her chest…

Ye Qingqiu’s eyes widened instantly. She watched in horror as Lian Lili pulled out the knife from her hand. The blood that spurted out splattered on Ye Qingqiu’s face and body…

Then, she smiled and let go slowly. The warm blood dyed Ye Qingqiu’s hands red.

Lian Lili’s body gradually slid down, but her hand supported Liang Xuer’s bed as she grabbed the blanket tightly.

“Xu’er…”

Her pained expression had already reached its limit when she said that. However, her grip on the blanket was indescribably tight. Her eyes were fixed on Liang Xuer’s eyes, as if she was trying to convey some news to her.

Seeing this scene, Liang Xuer was terrified. In the end, she couldn’t help but scream.

“Auntie, someone… Someone…”

The door of the ward was suddenly pushed open and Xiao Xu and two men rushed in.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

Lian Lili was lying by the bed, covered in blood.

Ye Qingqiu’s hands were also covered in blood. She held a knife that was stained with blood. Her clothes and face were splattered.

Xiao Xu was the first to react. In his shock, he hurriedly called the doctor over.

Liang Xuer fainted in the end.

The ward was in chaos. Ye Qingqiu stood rooted to the ground for a long time. The busy medical staff took the time to look at her suspiciously.

Ye Qingqiu was frightened.

No matter how arrogant she was, she had never seen such a bloody scene in reality. Moreover, it was so close to her.

In the end, she seemed to have been chased out of the ward by the medical staff. She walked to the washroom in a daze and wiped the blood off her face and body. Then, she went to Ye Jianyun’s ward in a daze.

Before it was time to apply for a visit, she stood at the entrance of the ICU in a daze and did not move for a long time.

The two people beside her called Li Tingshen immediately. They followed her for some reason.

In a daze, an argument sounded behind her.

“Who are you? Move aside.”

“Sorry, please leave immediately.”

A few seconds of silence followed.

“Qingqiu!”

Ye Qingqiu blinked and raised her head slowly. She turned around and followed the familiar voice.

Standing in front of her was a very beautiful woman. She had taken good care of herself, but her face had the grace and elegance that a young woman should have. She had the charm of an oriental woman, and her entire body exuded an indescribable dominance.

She was gentle and strong.

The contradiction was just right.

She was stunned for a moment before she called out in a daze, “Aunt…”

Ye Lixun stared at her with clear eyes. She frowned and tapped her forehead.

“Look at how useless you are!”

Her strength was not ambiguous at all. It really made Ye Qingqiu’s heart ache and she moved to the side.

Seeing her abnormal reaction, Ye Lixun frowned and walked forward to cup her face.

“What’s wrong?”

Ye Qingqiu’s eyes flashed and she shook her head gently, but tears still welled up in her eyes.

Although she was prepared, she was still stunned when she saw Ye Qingqiu’s tears.

When Sister-in-law left back then, she had never seen her cry.

However, thinking of what she had learned, he took a deep breath and pulled Ye Qingqiu into his embrace.

Stroking her head, he said softly, “It’s okay, Aunt is back.”

Li Tingshen sped all the way to the hospital.

Xiao Xu told him what happened when they barged into the ward.

Which scene?

Lian Lili was stabbed in the chest and the blood-stained knife was in Ye Qingqiu’s hand. Liang Xuer fainted on the bed.

Xiao Xu tried not to use too many words to describe the scene he had seen back then, afraid that he would convey the wrong information to Li Tingshen.

However, no matter what, the spearhead seemed to be pointing at Madam…

Li Tingshen saw Ye Qingqiu and another woman standing outside Ye Jianyun’s room, chatting.

When the two men in black saw Li Tingshen, they heaved a sigh of relief.

“Mr Li.”

Ye Qingqiu’s body stiffened.

Ye Lixun turned around and sized up the overly young man in front of her.

His appearance was passable, but he had an indifference and calmness that did not belong to his age.

However, she was still too young. No matter what, her composure could not escape her eyes.

However, it was enough.

He was enough to be an outstanding man.

It was understandable for Qingqiu to fall for him.

“You’re Li Tingshen? My niece’s current husband?”

Ye Lixun’s words cleared Li Tingshen’s doubts.

Her gaze landed on Ye Qingqiu’s pale face. “Auntie?”

Ye Qingqiu looked at Li Tingshen and fell silent for a few seconds before saying calmly, “Your mother should be in the emergency room.”

“Since you’ve already decided to get a divorce, it has nothing to do with you.”

Ye Lixun had always been straightforward. Even if she was wrong, she had to stick to her decision. Such a difficult personality had given her husband a headache back then.

Li Tingshen’s face darkened. “Who said we’re getting a divorce?”

“If we can’t live together, we’ll get a divorce. Do you think we can continue living together as if nothing happened? Let’s part on good terms. Let’s not delay each other’s lives while we’re still young.”

Li Tingshen didn’t respond to Ye Lixun. Instead, he stared at Ye Qingqiu and his voice was calm.

“Did you say that?”

Ye Lixun narrowed her eyes at the arrogant man.

Ye Qingqiu nodded. “I’ll give you the shares of the Ye Corporation.”

“Ye Ze is dead?”

At the mention of Ye Ze, Ye Qingqiu’s eyes trembled. She raised her head and stared coldly at Li Tingshen. “You’re asking me?”

“That means she’s not dead. That’s why we can’t get a divorce.”

Anger rose in Ye Qingqiu’s heart. “Li Tingshen, how can you do such a despicable thing just to not get a divorce? Were you the one who chased Brother Ye Ze away? As long as I didn’t see him leave with my own eyes, as long as I don’t get news of his death, I can’t get a divorce?”

“Think whatever you want.”

Ye Qingqiu suddenly sneered. “I’ll tell your mother, do you love me? She’s crazy. I think it’s impossible for you to fall in love with me. But your current behavior… Could it be that you’ve really fallen in love with me?”

Li Tingshen tightened his grip in his pocket and his eyes narrowed. “…What did you say to my mother?”

Ye Qingqiu sneered and said, “She said that I saved her because I wanted to use her to capture you. I said that we’re married or that you proposed. I asked her if she loved me.”

Li Tingshen’s dark eyes were locked on her, sharp and deep.

Ye Lixun didn’t want to see what kind of relationship they had. She looked at the time and said,

“I’ll talk to the doctor and arrange for your grandfather to be discharged as soon as possible. I’ll fetch your father and you first. Then, I’ll arrange for someone to bring your grandfather over.”

As she spoke, she had already started walking. She stopped halfway and glanced at Li Tingshen before turning to Ye Qingqiu.

“If he doesn’t want to get a divorce, you don’t have to say so much to him. If I remember correctly, the domestic marriage law should indicate that as long as we follow the procedure and live separately for two years, the marriage will automatically be annulled.”

Ye Qingqiu nodded. “I’ll go with you.”

As she spoke, she walked towards Ye Lixun, but Li Tingshen grabbed her wrist.

“Ye Qingqiu,” he said calmly, his voice finally revealing some forbearance. “Do you think I’ll let you leave just like that?”

“Why don’t you divorce me earlier?”

Li Tingshen stared at her quietly, his voice calm. “Be good and don’t provoke me…”

Ye Qingqiu’s heart skipped a beat. “It sounds like you want to kill me if I’m determined to leave?”

“I won’t.”

“That’s good. So I’ll leave and fill in the rest of the paperwork in two years.”

Impatience and anger finally appeared on Li Tingshen’s face.

“Did you not hear or understand what I said?”

Ye Qingqiu was shocked by his low growl. She didn’t speak for a moment, but her grip on her wrist tightened.

When she spoke again, her gentle voice was deliberately stiff. “Be good, Ye Qingqiu. Don’t force me…”

Ye Qingqiu’s heart skipped a beat.

Ignoring the pain, she twisted her arm, trying to break free from his grip.

She didn’t answer him verbally, but her actions gave him the answer.

He stared at her deeply. The more she struggled, the more he instinctively tightened his grip.

Sweat broke out on Ye Qingqiu’s forehead.

Ye Lixun frowned and went forward to grab his hand. She wanted to help Qingqiu shake it off, but she realized that the strength of his fingers was like iron claws embedded in her skin.

She was slightly surprised. In the end, she used all her strength to pry his fingers away.

The moment she released her grip, Ye Lixun pulled Ye Qingqiu behind her. She looked up warily at Li Tingshen, but her heart trembled when she saw his dark eyes.

What kind of gaze was that?

In the bottomless abyss, there seemed to be a pile of dry wood and bones. There was no sound, no wind, no breath, and no human presence…

She pulled Ye Qingqiu tightly and left in a hurry.

It was the first time in her life that she had seen such a gaze.

She turned to look at Ye Qingqiu. Did she know what kind of man she had provoked?

Li Tingshen stood rooted to the ground as he watched them leave in a hurry. His thin lips opened and closed silently.

“I said, don’t provoke me…”
