27: Thank you very much

Chapter 27: Thank You Very Much

Zhao Manman looked at Li Zhiyan, who was squatting down, and then climbed onto his back.

They went upstairs.

Li Zhiyan supported Zhao Manman's legs.

They walked towards the parking lot.

Looking at the faint lights in the distance, Zhao Manman felt a surge of emotion.

It was good to have a son; if it were Ji Zhiting or Ji Mengting, they definitely wouldn't be able to carry her.

...

Upon reaching the parking lot, Li Zhiyan unlocked Zhao Manman's Mercedes S-Class.

He helped her open the car door, and once she was seated in the passenger seat,

Zhao Manman finally let out a complete sigh of relief; today's exhaustion was finally over.

After spraining her ankle, it had indeed been quite difficult.

Once in the car, she took off her Valentino shoes.

Zhao Manman buckled her seatbelt.

On the other side, Li Zhiyan started driving.

After paying the toll at the exit, Li Zhiyan didn't stop again.

After half a day of touring West Lake, she truly felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation, both physically and mentally.

Li Zhiyan's mind, however, was constantly thinking about Ji Yunhai.

He should be coming home tonight...

He could have a good talk with him.

It wasn't until they reached the doorstep that Li Zhiyan helped Zhao Manman upstairs.

"Xiao Yan, you can go back to Meng Ting's room to rest later."

"I'm going to rest now."

Li Zhiyan could tell that Zhao Manman was indeed very tired.

"Then you go rest first. I'll wander around a bit more, and then I'll go rest."

Zhao Manman returned to her room and closed the door.

Li Zhiyan took a look; Ji Yunhai's room was empty.

He hadn't come home...

"It seems he still needs some time to come back. That woman is clearly not easy to deal with."

Li Zhiyan still wanted to know the truth about many things.

Then, he went downstairs, waiting for Ji Yunhai to return.

Suddenly, Li Zhiyan thought of something...

What was going on with that medicinal herb?

Opening his map, Li Zhiyan searched for nearby traditional Chinese medicine clinics.

There was a Chinese medicine clinic just over eight hundred meters away.

"For something like this, I really need to ask a professional."

Li Zhiyan was still a bit worried that Zhao Manman might have some illness and was hiding it from him...

The weather was still very hot, like a blazing furnace compared to the West Lake area.

"School has started, why is it still so hot...?"

Li Zhiyan wiped the sweat from his face, planning to take a good shower and cool off once he got back.

The distance of eight hundred meters was short, so Li Zhiyan walked directly.

When Li Zhiyan arrived at the Chinese medicine clinic,

an old man with white hair was just about to close up.

"Elder sir."

Li Zhiyan went forward, but the old man shook his head.

"Young man, it's closing time today. Come back tomorrow."

Li Zhiyan said, "I just came to ask what these medicinal herbs are for. This money is for you to buy water, elder sir."

Pulling out a red banknote, Li Zhiyan handed it to the old Chinese doctor.

Seeing that he could earn money just by answering about medicinal herbs, the old Chinese doctor did not refuse.

Li Zhiyan opened the picture on his phone, and when the old Chinese doctor saw the medicinal herb,

he became somewhat silent...

"Young man, is this medicine for you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyan's heart tightened. It seemed this illness was indeed very serious.

"Is it a terminal illness...?"

Thinking that Zhao Manman might have a terminal illness, Li Zhiyan felt a pang of sadness.

"Strictly speaking, it is indeed a terminal illness..."

"It's very difficult to cure, but for someone as young as you to have this illness, it shouldn't be."

"How will you carry on the family line in the future?"

Li Zhiyan: "..."

He suddenly understood what was going on.

"It's not me, it's a friend of mine."

The old Chinese doctor nodded.

"Many people who come here say it's for their friends. Let me take your pulse."

Li Zhiyan extended his arm, allowing the old Chinese doctor to take his pulse.

The old Chinese doctor tried taking his pulse and found that he was indeed very healthy.

"Your body is extraordinary; you are a true man."

"However, your friend's situation is not optimistic."

"They must have completely lost consciousness long ago."

"When they have time, tell them to come see me."

Li Zhiyan: "..."

When Li Zhiyan left the Chinese medicine clinic,

he also let out a complete sigh of relief.

It seemed that Ji Yunhai was indeed the one with the problem.

Since it wasn't Zhao Manman's problem, then it had nothing to do with him.

Walking on the road, Li Zhiyan's steps were much lighter.

Arriving at the small villa, Li Zhiyan opened the door and saw that Ji Yunhai's car had already returned.

Upon entering the living room, he saw Ji Yunhai drinking tea.

"Uncle Ji."

Seeing Li Zhiyan return, Ji Yunhai quietly asked, "Is your mother asleep?"

"Yes, she was very tired from touring the lake today and went straight to her room when she got back."

Ji Yunhai glanced upstairs, feeling a bit guilty.

Then, he stood up and pulled Li Zhiyan, walking outside.

"Come on, let's go for a walk, just us two, and have a good chat."

Ji Yunhai was very afraid that Li Zhiyan would expose his secret.

So he planned to have a good talk with Li Zhiyan...

Li Zhiyan didn't refuse; there were many things he wanted to know the truth about.

Once outside the door, Ji Yunhai lit a cigarette.

Then he began to puff out smoke.

"Thank you very much today, son-in-law. If it weren't for you, I might have been discovered, and my family would have completely fallen apart."

Li Zhiyan didn't speak. After a long while, he finally said, "My mother must treat you well, right? Why would you betray her?"

"And that woman's appearance really isn't that good, is it?"

Ji Yunhai knew that if he didn't explain this matter clearly,

then Li Zhiyan would definitely tell Zhao Manman.

He couldn't bear the consequences of that...

"We're all men, and we all have our own thoughts, so I won't hide it from you."

"You know, during pregnancy, many things are inconvenient."

"Later, I often went to clubs for entertainment."

"Until later..."

"At a drinking party, I met this woman. She got me drunk and then booked a room."

"The next day, we didn't contact each other."

"After that, my body developed some serious problems."

"Perhaps it was because I spent a lot of time in entertainment venues."

"But, four months later, she suddenly came running to say she was pregnant."

"And she was pregnant with a boy. You know, a man needs to carry on the family line; he can't be without a son."

"And she brought me a son. Just for that, I absolutely cannot abandon her."

"So I married her and held a wedding outside."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyan looked at Ji Yunhai before him.

He had never before realized that this refined man was so shameless.
