She estimated that the time of the text message was around the time Fang Tong had resigned without reason. Could it be that this had something to do with Ye Qingming? Fang Tong's words flashed through her mind again. No wonder he avoided talking about it every time. He was afraid that it was only when he was facing himself that he would become cautious.

And what role did Ye Qingming play in this?

She remembered that there was no conflict between them, and even in those few conversations, they had a pleasant conversation.

Why, why did Ye Qingming do this?

Lin Qingrou shuddered. She started to feel that Ye Qingming had returned to his original spot. He was like a venomous snake, spitting out his tongue and hiding in his surroundings every second, waiting for her to take a bite.

Between them, it was far more than "mantis stalks cicadas, while the oriole is behind". It was most likely a battle in the dark between Lin Man and Ye Qingming. Their lives were suddenly surrounded by lies, deceit and darkness.

Lin Qingrou's entire body went ice-cold, and she gritted her teeth. She suddenly remembered what Uncle Ming had said and finally believed his words. All along, the person she had to be wary of had always been Ye Qingming.

Ever since that day, although Lin Qingrou remained as calm as ever as she was with Ye Qingming, only she knew that every second she spent with him was frighteningly cold.

Today, it was Lin Manshou's time for the maternity exam.

Liu Yuxi volunteered to accompany her to the hospital.

"How are you guys? Is he alright?"

"It's okay, it's the same as before. There's nothing abnormal about it." Lin Qingrou's expression did not look too good, so she was unwilling to bring up the matter of Ye Qingming.

Seeing this, Liu Yuxi stopped asking questions. She looked around, waiting for the number of the waiting room. Suddenly, she saw a person sitting down in the distance. It was Ye Qingming, who had already changed his clothes.

When Lin Qingrou saw him, she started to get nervous as she mumbled to herself, "Why is he here?"

Liu Yuxi didn't know the reason behind this. He smiled as he gave his seat to Ye Qingming. Then, he walked over to the vending machine beside him to buy some hot coffee.

It took Ye Qingming a long way to get from the surgical building to the clinic. Plus, the weather was bad today and he didn't have time to wear much clothes, so his face turned pale due to the cold.

He waved his hand nonchalantly and said to them, "I just had surgery, so I'm here to take a look. I still need to go back later."

Lin Qingrou looked at him. Perhaps it was because of the surgery, but his hands were red from the cold. She thought for a moment but still couldn't resist handing him her scarf. "It's so hot in the clinic that I can't use it," she said. Actually, you don't need to come.

Although Ye Qingming took the scarf, he was still worried. He raised his head to look at the electronic screen at the door of the clinic and said, "It's only the 6th. There are still 10 more people waiting for you."

She didn't mind. She held her stomach and stood up, then arranged the scarf for him and said, "I'll wait a little longer. If you're busy, you should hurry back. "

Just as Ye Qingming was about to speak, his phone rang. He picked it up and looked at it, then helplessly said to her, "There's nothing I can do. I'm going back first. If you have anything to say, remember to call me."

Lin Qingrou nodded, looking at him with a smile as he wrapped a scarf around his neck. Fortunately, it was grey, so it didn't feel awkward to use. She let out a sigh of relief as she watched him hurry away.

Liu Yuxi sighed ambiguously, "Tsk tsk tsk, how envious of me."

Lin Qingrou placed the bag to the side, looking as if she was in a bad mood. She then said to Liu Yuxi, "Just take me as a joke. You don't even know what we are."

Liu Yuxi noticed that something was wrong with her face, and asked, "What, what happened?"

After a pause, she said, "Yesterday, I saw his phone and discovered that Fang Tong's hasty resignation had something to do with him."

"What?!" Liu Yuxi looked at her in astonishment, his voice unconsciously rising.

She was surrounded by pregnant women, and Lin Qingrou quickly told her not to get so excited.

Liu Yuxi was afraid that he had misheard and had to ask again, "Is Fang Tong quitting because of him? "It can't be, Ye Qingming doesn't look like that sort of person."

Lin Qingrou laughed coldly, "I also thought that he wasn't that kind of person, but up until now, we have all seen wrongly. "No matter how kind he is, don't forget that his surname is Ye. He's from the Ye Clan, how could he possibly be a good person?"

Liu Yuxi looked at the passing crowd in disbelief, and couldn't help but say, "How terrifying. "A person cannot judge a book by its cover. Initially, I thought that Ye Qingcheng and Ye Qingzhi were considered to be powerful enough. But now, I have realized that Ye Qingming is also like this, perhaps even superior."

As she spoke, she grew increasingly worried about Lin Qingrou's condition.

"Don't worry. This matter has been going on for so long, I don't think there's anything special about him. He should just leave it at that." Lin Qingrou consoled.

"But what are you going to do from now on? Could it be that just keeping watch over him was like keeping watch over a … Is it possible for you to be blown into smithereens at any time? "

Lin Manshou fell silent. What Liu Yuxi said was reasonable, and what he said had reached the deepest part of her heart.

However, she had no other choice. This was something she could not choose, and it was also a fate she could not escape.

At this very moment, in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the hospital, the silence between the two of them was especially terrifying. The silence was both helplessness and disappointment.

Lin Manshou sighed. Just as she was feeling uneasy, she suddenly heard a man say to her wife, "Today's news update was really quick. Did you hear? A few more officers have been arrested. "

His wife snappily replied, "So what? "They were arrested because they were greedy. You only know how to care about these things that are too far away for you. Why don't you care about how much the monthly bonus is?"

The man wasn't angry. On the contrary, he was gloating to his wife, "Cough, if it's anyone else, I'll tell you. The one in trouble is the principal of the Sacred Heart Hospital!"

As soon as his words fell, Lin Man and Liu Yuxi looked at each other in dismay.

Liu Yuxi reacted quickly and turned around to ask them.

Seeing that, the man passed the phone over to Liu Yuxi.

Lin Manshui didn't know what had happened, so she and Liu Yuxi carefully read the headlines.

"How could this be? How could this happen to him?" Liu Yuxi couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

Lin Qingrou uneasily recalled the events of the past few months. Curiosity and fear welled up in her mind at the same time.

After a while, she returned the phone to them and finally said, "Although this is how the news is written, it is still unknown whether anything happened in the end. After all, the news didn't say anything very clearly between the lines, it just said that it would cooperate with the investigation. Under normal circumstances, it would be possible for someone to deliberately create a topic. "

Liu Yuxi was puzzled, "Create a topic? That's true. Ye Qingcheng has had a lot of prestige points over the years, and there are a lot of his people in the city and the province. I'm afraid that at this rate, he will have quite a few opponents. "

However, Lin Qingrou was still curious. According to common sense, such matters that had yet to be decided would not be posted online. So, who exactly did Ye Qingcheng offend to make his matter known to the public?

Liu Yuxi couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she thought. At this moment, she took out her phone and made a call to her friend. Finally, under the pressure of benefits, she got to know a bit of the news.

She explained, "Speaking of which, it really has nothing to do with Ye Qingcheng. He just went to the station to help investigate the matter of a head of the Health Bureau. If I didn't offend someone, I don't believe that anyone would be so bold as to write about him. "

"Do you know who posted it online now?"

"I don't know. Maybe he's just an 18 - line reporter who wants to be famous. Maybe he's some netizen who wants to be famous."

Lin Qingrou did not ask any further, but she knew in her heart that this was definitely news made up by someone who wanted to be famous. However, looking at the current situation, even if Ye Qingcheng saw this news, he would probably not pursue it. After all, he wasn't a celebrity, so he didn't need to use such a malicious incident to attract the public's attention. Regardless of whether or not he was truly in trouble, at least right now, there was no one on top of him. Instead, this brought him to his senses.

Therefore, she still drew a big question mark in her mind. No matter how far the final incident went, she still maintained her skepticism.

After the checkup, Lin Manmei's back ached from being too tired. Since there were still some good kids around, she was more or less able to put her heart at ease.

Liu Yuxi asked her, "What do you want to eat? It's already noon, I think you've been hungry for a long time. "

Lin Qingrou shook her head. Her appetite hadn't recovered since she got pregnant, and she had no idea what it was like to be hungry.

"You can't eat it. Didn't you hear from the director that you're too skinny? Even a child wouldn't be able to take it if this went on."

"Child …" Lin Manshui was stunned for a moment, but she could only nod and follow Liu Yuxi as they forced themselves to eat.

In the end, she still cared about this child.

They surrounded two bowls of steaming hot porridge, sniffing and breathing deeply and comfortably in the warm room.

Liu Yuxi scooped up two spoonfuls of the porridge and gulped it down. It was so hot that he grimaced in pain.

Lin Qingrou handed her a tissue and took advantage of the porridge to warm up, taking out her phone to check how much time had passed.

She saw that there was a missed call from Ye Qingming on her phone. Just when she was considering whether she should call him back, a thought suddenly popped up in her mind: The news about Ye Qingcheng, could it be written by Fang Tong? Or could this have something to do with Fang Tong!?

Ever since the news was published, Ye Qingzhi had been worried day and night. This caused her, who was already suffering from typhoid fever, to be woken up by nightmares.

In the end, she had no choice but to give Ye Qingcheng a call due to her continuous worries.

"It's about the news again?" Ye Qingcheng wasn't surprised. If it wasn't for this, Ye Qingzhi wouldn't have taken the initiative to call him.

Ye Qingzhi tightly gripped the phone. Although she was worried, she still maintained her calm demeanor and asked, "Yes, that's why I wanted to ask you, how are you planning to resolve this matter?"

Ye Qingcheng replied in a lukewarm manner, "It's just a small piece of news. After a few days, it will be washed away by other news and no one will notice."

"I haven't been to work for a long time, so I wonder if there's anything wrong with the hospital?"

"No, you can just rest at home and recuperate."

Just as Ye Qingcheng was about to hang up, Ye Qingzhi suddenly said, "Big Brother, are you really not worried at all? How are things going with Sisi and Ji Heng's wedding preparations? As for Ji Heng's father, he was always able to speak up for himself. "But, I'm just worried about the name, I'm afraid that it's because Lin …"

Ye Qingcheng did not say anything. How could he not be worried? However, he was always unwilling to cause a ruckus. Although he didn't know the source of this matter, at least for now, he didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble. Alright, I'll find out the source of the news myself. As for the follow-up work, I'll also send people to do it well, so you don't have to worry about it. "

With that, Ye Qingcheng decisively hung up the phone.

Ye Qingzhi watched uneasily as the screen on her phone dimmed down bit by bit. She could only sigh helplessly. The image was familiar, like the day she had spent more than twenty years ago.
