I nodded. Mr. Li was truly thoughtful.
âWhat about that maid?â I asked Jing Tian.
Jing Tianâs expression turned somewhat ugly. âSheâs from the Jing Family. She was under Jing Yanâs order. Either they didnât know or didnât believe your Phoenix Blood. They have a grudge against you and want to kill you.â
I imagined Jing Yanâs arrogant and despotic appearance in my mind. This was indeed something that she would do!
âThen donât touch her. Leave her to me. Iâll handle it myself,â I said to Jing Tian.
My little uncle said, âTake good care of your body. I donât need you for this kind of thing. Leave it to me.â He shot a glance at Jing Tian. âI hope some people wonât decide to protect his family. The fact that I didnât charge to the Jing Family now is already my limit.â
I hastily said, âLittle uncle, donât accuse Jing Tian! He wonât protect the Jing Family. Plus, leave this maid to me. I want to have a little fine. Plus, this matter is small anyway.â
Little Uncle wanted to say something, but Mai Qi stopped him. âI agree with Nanxing. Let us handle this ourselves. You should focus on the bigger things. Didnât you say that someone wanted to cooperate with us using Nanxingâs blood?â
Little Uncleâs expression hardened. âThose people must be crazy. They basically want to sell Nanxingâs blood as medicine.â
With this reminder, I asked Jing Tian, âArenât we going to cooperate with them? Are we playing hard to get?â
Jing Tian shook his head. âNot really. The Lin familyâs reaction so far is too strange. We donât feel too good about this, so we decide to observe for now. Besides, if they decide to use you as an experiment, then forget it. We donât need them.â
I reached out to hold Jing Tianâs hand.
Jing Tian understood what I meant. He glanced at cousin Mo. âIf we have to sacrifice you to the Lin Family to get the medicine to cure your Cousin Mo, do you think he will agree?â
......
I looked at cousin Mo. He said, âNanxing, we agreed to do our best and leave the rest to fate. We shouldnât try to go against fate.â
I finally nodded. âBrother, I understand your intentions. But you have to understand me too. To me, my Phoenix Blood isnât as important as a single finger of yours.â
Cousin Mo smiled. âNanxing, Iâve been sick for many years. Iâve been in a wheelchair for many years. Iâm already satisfied that I can stand and walk again. If you sacrifice yourself for me again, I wonât be able to accept it.â
I understood his feelings and changed the topic to a more relaxed one. âHurry up and marry Ye Qian. Give cousin-in-law a proper identity so that people wonât gossip about her anymore.â
Cousin Mo was a little embarrassed. âBut uncle isnât married yet.â
I looked at my little uncle with a dissatisfied expression. Before I could say anything, my little uncle already said with hatred, âHey, what are you doing dragging me into this? Are you going to marry tomorrow if I get married today?â
Cousin Mo nodded. âAlright, itâs decided then. Iâll get married on the day after you get married.â
We couldnât help but laugh.
Mai Qi blushed.
My little uncle held her hand. âLetâs go. We should get away from these kids. We have things to do anyway.â
After saying that, he grabbed Mai Qi and walked out.
âWhy are you running away? Are you afraid of marriage? Let me tell you, if you donât marry Mai Qi, she will be pursued by others! Tong Le, you need to be more anxious about this!â I shouted at their backs. Everyone laughed without restraint.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
