Chapter 29: Indignation

When Song Yiren saw the piece of paper in Zhan Yihan’s hand, her hand trembled involuntarily and panic washed over her.?He actually managed to figure it out. What should I do?
Wang Meizhen stepped forward and curiously looked at the letter then looked carefully at the words on the piece of paper, “The handwritings look different. How did you figure it out?” Although she was illiterate, she could still tell that the words looked different.
“The words may be different, but you can tell from the amount of pressure used when writing and from the writing habits of the person who wrote it. If you look at the word “village” in both of these, the way of writing the dash in the words is exactly the same. Both dashes have a small curvature to them and the pressure used when writing is light but slightly too much pressure is used when the person stops writing. Then, we look at how the words go through the paper. The depth of the handwriting as seen is also exactly the same. Based on this, you can tell that these are written by the same person,” Zhan Yihan analyzed. He could already tell from Song Yiren’s expression just now that she had written the words on this piece of paper.
Wang Meizhen nodded in understanding. She then turned to look at Su Jinyue and Song Yiren. “Who wrote this?”
Song Yiren knew that she could no longer avoid it, so she took a deep breath and said, “I wrote it.”?One wrong step and everything went downhill from there. If that fool hadn’t told me that Su Jinyue’s chances of surviving were very slim, how could I have forced myself into a tight spot like that.

“Why did you do this? Just now, weren’t you saying that Dr. Su is your sister?” Wang Meizhen asked with a displeased expression on her face. Fortunately, it was not Song Yiren whom Yihan liked. A person who could even frame the sister she grew up with, was truly terrifying.
“I… I did this because I like Big Brother Zhan and I want to marry him.” Song Yiren looked at Zhan Yihan and her tears poured out uncontrollably.
“We can’t afford to have a daughter-in-law like you,” Wang Meizhen said with a stern expression. In the past, she used to think that Song Yiren was very cute and kind, but only now did she see her true colors.
“I made a mistake. It was a moment of obsessive impulse…” With a thud, Song Yiren knelt down in front of Su Jinyue and cried, “Jinyue, I’ll apologize to you, please forgive me just this once. I did this because I really like Big Brother Zhan. When I heard that Big Brother Zhan was coming to propose marriage to you, I was extremely jealous. But I understand now and I’ve given up. I will never vie with you for Big Brother Zhan again in the future.” Right now, what she feared the most was that Su Jinyue would blurt out about the man in black.
Su Jinyue looked at Song Yiren condescendingly, and sneered coldly. “You may not care about sisterhood, but I’m not as ruthless as you. This is not to be repeated.” She really wanted to speak up about the events of last night, but if she did that Teacher would definitely be sad. Moreover, with Song Yiren’s personality, she might go for broke and get the man in black to kill her. If she did not expose her, it was equivalent to having a hold over Song Yiren. At the very least, Song Yiren would not make any moves in the near future.
“I won’t do it again. Never again. Jinyue, can we still be besties in the future?” Song Yiren looked at Su Jinyue imploringly.?Su Jinyue, just you wait! When Big Brother Zhan is gone, it will be time for you to die. Next time, I’ll definitely check for your corpse first. If you’re thinking about marrying Big Brother Zhan,?you can dream on.
Su Jinyue sneered derisively. “Okay.”?Besties? Song Yiren is probably itching to kill me now.
“Go to your room and copy the ‘Compendium of Materia Medica’ twenty times. You’re not allowed to come out until you finish copying it.” Xu Tiansheng looked at Song Yiren in disappointment. He was extremely disappointed that she could actually treat her own family in this manner, for the sake of an outsider.
“Teacher, I’m sorry!” Song Yiren slowly got up from the ground, glanced at Zhan Yihan, and hobbled out. She felt very indignant, but what could she do even if she was indignant?
“It really is true that you may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature,” Wang Meizhen grunted angrily.
Zhan Dafeng patted Wang Meizhen on the back, “Alright, alright. Let’s talk about what’s important.”
Wang Meizhen nodded and looked at Xu Tiansheng, “Dr. Xu, do you have any objections to Yihan’s marriage proposal for Dr. Su?”
“I have no objections, as long as Jinyue is willing,” Xu Tiansheng said. With what happened just now, he really wasn’t in the mood to talk about all this. However, he was even more worried that if Jinyue and Yihan were not engaged, Yiren would not give up.
“That’s right, that’s right. Dr. Su’s opinion is the most important.” Wang Meizhen nodded in agreement and smiled at Su Jinyue, “Dr. Su, are you willing to get engaged to Yihan?” She was certainly more fond of Su Jinyue.
Su Jinyue hung her head shyly and muttered, “Yes!” Although she had been through two lifetimes, this was the first time someone had asked her so straightforwardly.
A faint smile appeared on Zhan Yihan’s lips. He stepped forward and reached out to hold Su Jinyue’s hand. With a serious expression on his face, he promised, “Jinyue, I’ll treat you well in the future. Trust me.”
Su Jinyue raised her head to meet Zhan Yihan’s eyes. She smiled and nodded. “I trust you!” She had absolutely no doubts about his promise.
Song Yiren, who was eavesdropping at the door, clenched her fists in resentment. The indignation and fury in her heart kept surging and spreading. Her face twisted into a sinister expression which looked terrifying. She really wanted to charge in and kill Su Jinyue right now.
After a long time, she clenched her teeth hard and limped towards her room. She must consider this matter at length. Su Jinyue had a hold over her right now and was wary of her, so she could not act blindly without thinking. She had to wait for the right opportunity to make her move.
“You young couple can go out and take a walk and develop your relationship. Just leave the rest to us.” Wang Meizhen stepped forward and pushed Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan out the door with a smile on her face. She gave Zhan Yihan a meaningful look, “Son, put your back into it.”
Zhan Yihan smiled and nodded. After which, he pulled Su Jinyue towards the door. He wanted to ask her what had happened last night. Although Jinyue did not leave a letter and run away from home, she was definitely not at home in the morning. Even Uncle Xu did not know where she had gone. Something had probably happened.
When they walked out of the clinic, Zhan Yihan saw that there was no one around and asked, “What happened to you last night? What’s that on your back?”
Su Jinyue hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth, “I was pursued by a man in black, rolled down the mountain and fell into a cave. The things I’m carrying on my back are what I found in the cave.” In this world, the person she trusted the most, aside from Teacher, was him. However, she did not plan to tell Teacher about the wooden box, as she did not want Teacher to know that Song Yiren had sent someone after her. She would end the grievances and grudges between her and Song Yiren on her own. She did not want to make things difficult for Teacher.
“Are you injured?” Zhan Yihan anxiously looked Su Jinyue up and down. He remembered the man in black who had broken into his house last night, and he could not help but regret not chasing after him.
Su Jinyue smiled and shook her head, “I’ll bring you to that cave. Let’s talk about it slowly..” She did not want anything to go wrong with the wooden box.
