Chapter 100 Those who can climb out of the turtle shell are all heroes.
Seeing that Ying Chengfeng called out his name accurately, Li Xi was somewhat surprised, "Mr. Ying, do you know me?"
Then I realized that Jiang Qingkong was able to save her life thanks to Ying Chengfeng's excellent medical skills.
Coincidentally, she was giving Jiang Qingkong a blood transfusion in the emergency room that night.
Ying Chengfeng was able to recognize her, probably for this reason.
Thinking of this, Li Xi smiled and said, "I have to thank Dr. Ying for arriving in time that night, which pulled Miss Jiang back from the brink of death, and made my blood donation worthwhile."
Upon hearing this, Ying Chengfeng said, "As a doctor, saving lives is simply our duty. It is Miss Li Xi who generously donated blood; this is truly commendable."
"Your daughter is very cute." Li Xi looked at Ying Li's mixed-race features and asked curiously, "Is she mixed-race?"
"Ah."
Ying Chengfeng asked Li Xi, "Miss Li Xi, do you know Li Li?"
“We had the pleasure of meeting once at the Gu family home.” Seeing that Ying Chengfeng was taken aback again, Li Xi explained, “Last time, I attended the Gu family’s 80th birthday celebration and stayed overnight. I happened to run into Ying Li, who was sleepwalking and came to my room to sleep in the middle of the night.”
"Is there still this?"
Ying Chengfeng was very surprised. He asked Ying Li, "Lili, is what Sister Li Xi said true?"
A blush of embarrassment immediately appeared on Ying Li's fair cheeks.
Upon seeing her reaction, Ying Chengfeng knew the answer.
"I'm really sorry," Ying Chengfeng told Li Xi. "Ying Li has a somewhat withdrawn personality due to some childhood experiences, and she often wakes up in the middle of the night."
"But this is the first time she has gone into someone else's room to sleep. It seems that our Lili really likes Miss Lixi."
Ying Li stared at Li Xi with her slightly rounded grape-like eyes, nodding repeatedly.
"Look, Tanuki likes you."
Li Xi smiled and joked, "Beautiful women always appreciate each other."
Ying Cheng smiled gently and, seeing that Li Xi still had friends, said, "Thank you both for taking care of Lili. We won't disturb your sisterly gathering."
"To express my gratitude, please give me the opportunity to pay the bill, otherwise I will feel bad."
Since he'd already said that, it would be pretentious for Li Xi to be polite to him any further. "Then I'll have to trouble Dr. Ying to pay the bill."
"It should."
Ying Chengfeng carried Ying Li to pay the bill. Before leaving, Ying Li ran to the dining table, picked up her pen again, and wrote: "You didn't send me any WeChat messages."
The little guy is upset.
Li Xi told her, "I've been busy taking my driver's license test lately and forgot to chat with Lili."
"Okay, if you're bored in the future, you can message me and I'll chat with you when I have time."
Ying Li: [Okay, I want to see the wedding dress fish.]
She was referring to the two butterfly koi fish in Li Xi's house. On the day they added each other on WeChat, Li Xi had sent Ying Li a video of the butterfly koi fish.
"Okay."
"Lili, we're leaving." Ying Chengfeng waved to Ying Li from a distance.
Ying Li waved to Li Xi and Xie Jian before running towards Ying Chengfeng with the orange juice in her arms.
After the father and daughter left the restaurant hand in hand, Xie Jian remarked, "Dr. Ying's wife must be an exceptionally beautiful woman."
"I feel so too."
"Oh right, you went to the hospital to donate blood? No wonder you were carrying a bag of medicine from St. Anne's Hospital today."
"Yes, donating blood saved someone." Remembering that Jiang Xinghe and Xie Jian went to the same high school, Li Xi asked her, "Do you know Jiang Xinghe?"
"Ah!" Xie Jian suddenly exclaimed.
Li Xi looked over worriedly and found that Xie Jian had actually pricked his fingertip with a crab's claw and was bleeding.
"Why are you so careless?"
Li Xi quickly pressed Xie Jian's fingertips and squeezed them outwards with force.
After squeezing out the blood droplets, he took out a band-aid from his bag and wrapped it around Xie Jian's wound.
"Is your bag Doraemon's pocket? How come it has everything?" Xie Jian felt that Li Xi was like a treasure map, the deeper you dug, the more surprises you would find.
Li Xi laughed and said, "It's better to be prepared."
Xie Jian steered the conversation back to the previous topic: "The Jiang Xinghe you mentioned, is it the Jiang family that makes a high-end women's shoe brand?"
"Yes." The Jiang family does indeed run a high-end women's shoe brand. "I heard him say that you two were classmates in high school, but he seems to be two grades older than you?"
Xie Jian hummed in agreement.
"I went to donate blood that day to save his sister. His sister fell and had a miscarriage with severe bleeding. She almost didn't make it."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jian asked, "Save his sister?"
"Ah."
"Isn't Jiang Xinghe's relationship with his sister terrible? I heard he was a boarding student since he was little because his sister couldn't tolerate him."
"His sister's inability to tolerate him is only one reason. Ultimately, it's because his father doesn't like him that he allows everyone in the family to bully him."
Xie Jian remained silent.
"Was Jiang Xinghe very famous in your school back in high school?"
Xie Jian thought for a moment before nodding, "Mm."
"Very arrogant?"
To everyone's surprise, Xie Jian shook his head and said, "He is very silent."
This was unexpected for Li Xi. "I thought Jiang Xinghe was just as flamboyant and arrogant in high school as he is now."
Hearing this, Xie Jian was also somewhat surprised, "Has his personality changed that much?"
"Ah."
Li Xi said, "He's acting like a spoiled brat now, but he's a good person and at heart is still a good boy with upright values."
Hearing this, Xie Jian was somewhat lost in thought.
When Li Xi saw that her hand was injured, he offered to peel the crab meat for her.
The small bowl was half full of crab meat. Xie Jian finally broke her silence and whispered, "When Jiang Xinghe was in high school, he was always bullied because the whole school knew that Jiang Xinghe was the unloved child of the Jiang family."
"As long as they don't kill him, the Jiang family won't bother with him."
"So back then, a lot of people bullied Jiang Xinghe."
Xie Jian said, "The first time I met Jiang Xinghe was in the women's restroom. He was locked inside, and no one let him out for the entire afternoon."
Xie Jian released him.
Then Xie Jian became the second Jiang Xinghe.
Li Xi was furious. "Don't your school leaders care?"
Xie Jian shook her head. "Li Xi, when a person is hated and abandoned by his family, even a dog on the street can bite him."
Li Xi fell silent immediately.
"Is he...doing well now?" Xie Jian asked hesitantly.
Li Xi said, "How can we say it's good? At least he's still alive. Now he even dares to use gasoline to set fire to the Xie family's house to rescue Jiang Qingkong."
Xie Jian stared in shock, her mouth agape.
"The changes are quite significant."
If Xie Jian hadn't trusted Li Xi's character, he would have thought Li Xi was just bragging.
How could someone so insignificant and unremarkable dare to set fire to save people?
I heard that after graduating from high school, Jiang Xinghe went to study at a diploma mill abroad.
What, is this how diploma mills raise students?
That man, who was as easy to bully as a lamb, was forced to become a fierce wild boar?
It seems that Jiang Xinghe has truly become stronger over the years.
Xie Jian rarely smiled, and she was genuinely happy for Jiang Xinghe: "Those who can climb out of the turtle shell are all brave people."
"pretty good."
