Cheng Wan found a nurse for Zhang Li. After that, it was the nurse who took care of Zhang Li’s food and clothes.
Although Cheng Wan was disappointed and angry with Zhang Li, the nurse she found was still top-notch and very serious.
After lunch, Zhang Li said that she would give the caregiver half a day off and told her not to come this afternoon.
The nurse was still a little worried and did not dare to agree to her easily.
Zhang Li said, “Don’t worry and go on leave. My friend is coming to visit me in the afternoon. She will bring me dinner. There’s no need to trouble you. If Cheng Wan asks, just say it. I’ll take responsibility for you if anything happens.”

Cheng Wan did not say anything after hearing that. She only said, “You can rest if she wants you to. I’ll take the time to come over in the afternoon to take a look.”
Cheng Wan hung up, looking a little dazed.
She felt very conflicted. Her heart ached for Jing Yao, but she valued these two people very much. She couldn’t let them go completely.
This way, she felt like she had been torn apart. Perhaps Zhang Li’s description back then was right. She was not decisive enough. Her gentle personality made her look very easy to bully. That was why she was isolated and bullied in middle school.
After so many years, her personality had not changed. It was still the same. She hated her personality very much, but she could not change it.
Ji Wei did not go out today. He knew that Cheng Wan quarreled with Wen Chen yesterday and was in a bad mood, so he stayed at home to accompany her.
At this moment, Ji Wei brought over a cup of homemade lemon green tea and handed it to Cheng Wan. “Auntie, try my new tea. It’s especially fresh and delicious.”
Cheng Wan took it and took a sip. It was indeed refreshing and she praised Ji Wei generously.
Ji Wei was so happy that he laughed for a long time. Then he asked, “What’s wrong, Auntie? You look conflicted, as if you’re making a decision about something major globally.”
Cheng Wan chuckled. Ji Wei was really sweet. He looked carefree, but he was as meticulous as a young lady.
Cheng Wan touched Ji Wei’s head and suddenly asked, “Little Wei, what kind of person do you think Aunt is?”
Ji Wei said sincerely without thinking, “The best person in the world.”
Cheng Wan sighed. “In the past, people said that I was too soft-hearted. I pity everyone.”
Ji Wei glared at her and said angrily, “Which fool said that? What nonsense is he spouting? Auntie is the best in my heart. Everyone believes Jing Yuan’s words. When they think that Sister Yaoyao is bad, only Auntie is firm in her thoughts and insists on believing what she sees. This is not called being soft-hearted. This is called being kind and principled.”
Cheng Wan smiled and heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Zhang Li was still a little worried. She placed her fingers on the blade several times, wanting to test if it was sharp enough.
Jing Mo arrived at around three in the afternoon. When he reached the door of the ward, he did not enter directly. Instead, he raised his hand and knocked on the door. He maintained his usual politeness and elegance.
He was dressed quite formally today. His formal attire could highlight his appearance and temperament. He was dressed like this when he first met Zhang Li. His back was straight, and his eyes were filled with the pride of a young man.
Zhang Li looked at him through the crack in the door that she had never closed tightly. Hatred surged in her eyes. She hated Jing Mo’s well-dressed appearance as much as she liked his handsome appearance in the past.
It was said that looks came from the heart. This sentence was not accurate at all when it came to Jing Mo.
The more outstanding this man looked, the dirtier his heart was.
Zhang Li took a deep breath and gripped the knife in her hand tightly. After making sure that her voice did not sound abnormal, she said, “Come in.”
Jing Mo tidied his clothes outside the ward and pushed open the door to enter after making sure that he did not look inappropriate.
Zhang Li sat on the hospital bed. The haggardness on her face could not be concealed, but her eyes were especially energetic and inexplicable.
There was only one word to describe the feeling she gave Jing Mo—staking everything on one throw..
