Chapter 165: From now on, give up the idea of marrying Ye Chenjing

Lin Meng raised an eyebrow, stopped the car and sensed for a moment, discovering that the feeling of being punished by the hidden law's power from last time had not appeared—this thirty million could be taken.

She immediately grinned and happily pressed the accelerator.

Not bad that he has a conscience; thirty million two pills— to Ye Chenjing it's nothing, to Lin Meng it's a huge profit.

After all, who would really complain about having too much money?

At night, Lin Meng returned to the island villa, saw that Ye Chenjing's side had already turned off the lights, and didn't go to disturb.

Knowing the potency of the pill, he shouldn't impulsively turn the Bone‑Knitting and Sinew‑Continuing Pill into a pendant again.

But just in case, she'll still go check it out early tomorrow.

Over at the warehouse, Xiao Chen had already finished inventorying the supplies; the quantity was only more, not less, which saved her a lot of trouble.

Originally she planned to have a few large trucks come over for an empty run, just to go through the motions and cover up, but Xiao Chen said the surveillance near the warehouse was temporarily under maintenance and upgrade, and couldn't be used normally for a month.

Xiao Chen reminded Lin Meng to handle it promptly, lest the supplies be lost.

That way, it's actually simple— once Ye Heng smoothly returns to the shelter, she can hand over this batch of supplies, so she shouldn't need to wait a month.

Lin Meng returned to the villa, freshened up simply, and then went straight upstairs to sleep.

The pills for cultivation are temporarily lacking, so these few days she can take it easy.

Meanwhile, Ye Chenjing hadn't gone to sleep.

He carefully placed the pill Lin Meng gave him on the bedside table, still not taking it.

He wanted to run a test to see whether his leg truly still had any aftereffects.

Frankly speaking, the Return Spring Pill Lin Meng gave him at the hospital had astonishing effects; he's still shocked to this day.

The external injuries on his leg are visible and shocking; even if he later underwent the best scar‑removal skin graft surgery, they could never be fully restored.

But Lin Meng's Return Spring Pill achieved that.

Moreover, his leg bone was a comminuted fracture; the director said just keeping the leg was already a miracle, and recovering to its pre‑injury state was utterly impossible.

The doctor's explanation to the old man was that with proper rest and rehabilitation training, there was hope of returning to a normal state, and the aftereffects would hardly affect daily life.

But that was just a set of comforting words for the old man.

The director said his leg would absolutely be unable to walk normally for the rest of his life; a slight limp would be good, and he would likely gradually suffer muscle atrophy, relying on a wheelchair.

However, Lin Meng's Return Spring Pill made his leg look in better condition, and walking posed no problem.

So he wanted to see whether what Doctor Wang said— that it wasn't cured and would still have aftereffects— was really true.

He took a bucket of ice from the fridge, poured it into the tub, and without hesitation put his injured leg in.

A piercing cold instantly drilled from the pores on his leg into the bone.

Ye Chenjing didn't even furrow his brow, waiting quietly.

Less than three minutes later, a sharp stabbing pain suddenly came from deep within his leg.

This pain felt as if he were experiencing the car accident again, his leg bone being crushed, instantly turning his lips pale and making cold sweat break out.

Ye Chenjing gritted his teeth, quickly pulled his leg back, wrapped it in a towel, and after enduring a few minutes the pain gradually lessened.

Afterward, he then put his uninjured leg in.

Although he still felt cold, ten minutes passed and his leg felt no pain.

Although he had anticipated it, deep inside Ye Chenjing still felt a huge wave surge, a shudder of fear.

Doctor Wang was right, and even held back some.

This leg hasn't been healed, and the likelihood of future aftereffects flaring up is quite high.

Ye Chenjing no longer hesitated, returned to the bedroom, and swallowed the pill placed on the bedside table in one gulp.

Whether he was truly tired or simply had full confidence in Lin Meng's pill, he didn't know.

After swallowing the pill, Ye Chenjing climbed into bed and fell asleep.

That night he unexpectedly slept well.

——

In the early morning, Jing Shi was overcast with drizzling rain, and some people's moods were as damp as the rain.

The Fang family— Fang Siyao sat sullenly on the sofa, having not slept all night.

Seeing her grandmother come downstairs, she hurriedly asked what had been weighing on her heart all night.

Grandma, is Ye Chenjing's leg really incurable? Will he become a cripple?

Fang Fang gave her unpromising granddaughter a look, thought it over, and still told the truth.

The aftereffects are definitely unavoidable; the Ye family is also unfortunate— after finally producing someone who could uphold the family name, they ended up in a car accident.

She shook her head, feeling the Ye family was quite unfortunate: Ye Xiangrong's next generation died out, the generation after that left two grandsons— one with good looks and temperament, moreover a business genius— yet ended up with lifelong disability.

The other one— better not mention it…

What a pity— this should have been a good match, but now it seems…

Fang Fang then looked at her own granddaughter, somehow feeling that the granddaughter wasn't worthy of the Ye family.

Originally she had wanted to match her granddaughter with that Ye Chenjing, to continue their prior affinity and also for the Fang family's consideration.

So when she learned there was someone named Lin Meng who had an unusual connection with the Ye family, she still harbored some ill intent and went to investigate that person.

But after experiencing the incident with Xiao Nantian and Ye Chenjing's car accident, she increasingly felt that her granddaughter and the Ye family had no affinity.

On the contrary, the woman named Lin Meng is inscrutable.

Especially that innate, natural aura of hers— something her own granddaughter could not match even by trying.

Grandma, how severe are the aftereffects? Will he really become a cripple? And will it affect other functions?

Fang Fang was questioned by Fang Siyao early in the morning, giving her a headache, so she simply issued an ultimatum.

From now on, give up the idea of marrying Ye Chenjing; honestly wait for the family to arrange a match!

She knew all too well that her granddaughter, upon hearing Ye Chenjing might become a cripple, didn't even go to visit him— she just turned and left.

Just because of this heartless attitude, she shouldn't be marrying into the Ye family.

So, Fang Fang has already given up the idea of sending her granddaughter into the Ye family; it's Fang Siyao who isn't up to par.

Seeing her grandmother leave with a stern face, Fang Siyao suddenly came to her senses, her face full of utter disappointment.

It seems true, the disability is real, and the injury there is also real!

The next second, Fang Siyao felt as if a weight had been lifted; even the slightest regret on her face vanished completely, replaced by relief.

Fortunately, she hasn't yet become engaged to Ye Chenjing; otherwise, if she now proposed a breakup, she would surely be condemned by everyone.

The fact that she didn't jump into this pit shows that heaven is still looking out for her; she can still find a good match.

As for that Lin Meng, just see how smug she still is.

Even if she really could end up with Ye Chenjing, what would it matter?

Her husband is a cripple, both outwardly and inwardly; her bitter days are still ahead.

Meanwhile, at the island villa.

Ye Chenjing listened to Sun Yao's morning report while soaking his legs in an ice bucket.

Ten minutes have already passed, and there is no pain in his legs.

Moreover, as soon as he woke up, he discovered that his whole body felt stronger than before.

That Bone-Conjoining and Sinew-Mending Pill truly cured his leg ailment completely!

Lin Meng really is his lucky star; without her, he couldn't get by at all!
