Chapter 199


    The rumors that the Shi family kept spreading were targeted at Shi Jin, but also put the Li family in


    an awkward position. If the Li family was made aughingstock, they would never be able to hold


    their heads up high in town.


    Shi Jin did this so everyone would know that the Li family didn''t sell their daughter for money. She


    had also ensured that everyone knew about what Yu Xiuhua had done.


    If they allowed Yu Xiuhua to go on spreading this nonsense, it would be much harder to clear the air


    in the future if this was left to fester.


    After Shi Jin hung up the phone, she said to everyone, "The Shi family doesn''t like having me


    around and I am genuinely not their biological daughter, so I will sever ties with the Shi family from


    now on."


    Since Old Master Shi has brought me up and treats me like a real granddaughter, I will not leave


    him in the lurch. I don''t care about the rest of the family, but I will continue being filial to him."


    She promptly made her objectives for the night clear.


    The Li family was not made of money. Yu Xiuhua had mentioned they received all that money from


    the government aspensation for theirnd. However, Shi Jin was able to give the money to Old


    Master Shi without batting an eye, so it went to show what a kind and filial youngdy she was.


    People couldn''t help looking at her with a degree of admiration.


    Even Chu Ling could not resist taking second looks at her, but he veered his eyes when he finally


    realized how inappropriate it was.


    Yu Xiuhua and Shi Xuexin clenched their fists so tightly that their skin almost tore.


    "Since we are at it, I have one more thing to say," continued Shi Jin.


    Chu Ling had a feeling it had something to do with him. He instinctively nced at Shi Jin.


    Shi Jin said calmly, "Since I am not a Shi, the marriage agreement you have made is deemed null


    and void. From now on, please do not link me to the Chu family. Now that Shi Xuexin has returned


    to the Shi family, she is no longer a Li and has nothing to do with the marriage agreement that the Li


    family has made either."


    Yu Xiuhua and Shi Xuexin had been dying for Shi Jin to say these words. However, by saying it


    now, Shi Jin had embarrassed Shi Xuexin making her seem as though she was snatching


    something from her.


    Shi Jin had just tossed aside the marriage agreement she had with Chu Ling like it was garbage to


    Shi Xuexin.


    Since Yu Xiuhua had already humiliated herself, it was inappropriate for her to retaliate, so she


    could only suck it up.


    Chu Ling gritted his teeth. Perfect! That would be best! He had been waiting for her to say this for


    such a long time!


    So why did his heart inexplicably feel empty when he had clearly stopped liking her a long time


    ago?


    The guests were awfully impressed by how sensible Shi Jin was when she did not insist on


    marrying Chu Ling since he was not hers. Why did Yu Xiuhua insist Shi Jin kept fighting with Shi


    Xuexin for resources while she was living here? How could she im Shi Jin waspetitive


    towards Shi Xuexin? Everyone looked at Yu Xiuhua suspiciously and felt sorry for Shi Jin''s


    predicament.


    What had this young woman endured during her time at the Shi residence?


    Shi Qing felt the same way. He used to think that the Shi family had done Shi Jin justice, but he


    finally found out what kind of life Shi Jin truly led in the family.


    Stifled pain came from his chest as he became overwhelmed by giddiness. Just as he was about to


    speak, his body nted sideways and toppled. He had fallen with a crash breaking the teacups and


    wine sses on the table in the process.


    "Honey!"


    "Dad!"


    "Mr Shi!"


    "Get an ambnce!"


    Shi Jin lowered her head and checked on Shi Qing.


    Yu Xiuhua couldn''t bear the sight of her tonight, so she shoved Shi Jin. "Get out of the way. He


    doesn''t even have air to breathe!"


    Shi Xuexin was flustered. "Has anyone called an ambnce?"


    She finally felt relieved when the butler confirmed he did. However, she and all the guests remained


    worried.


    Chu Ling was unable to offer any help, so he could only stay by Shi Xuexin''s side.

    "Now that he has passed out, do we have to do CPR?"


    "He appears to be conscious. Can''t we only do CPR when the patient is unconscious?"


    Even people with some medical knowledge were at a loss. In an instant, no one knew what to do.


    Only Shi Jin sounded calm. "Where is the perfume bag I gave him? There is medicine in there


    which can help with his condition."


    Yu Xiuhua was infuriated. "Stop causing more trouble as it is!"


    Everyone felt Shi Jin was insensible to act this way at a time like this.


    Shi Qing was already in such a bad state. Did Shi Jin have to do this now? Moreover, no one even


    knew what Shi Qing was suffering from. How could they blindly give him medicine? What if


    something went wrong with the treatment?


    Fortunately, the Shi residence was centrally located in the wealthy part of town, so an ambnce


    was bound to arrive soon.


    Gu Qingqing couldn''t bear hearing them speak ill of her daughter, so she reached her hand out and


    wanted to pull her back.


    Shi Jin gently pulled her hand out and gestured that it was fine. She proceeded to say calmly,


    "Uncle Qing often suffers from chest tightness, giddiness, and fatigue. A long time ago, he passed


    out once. After someone faints, it is very important to treat him within four minutes. You have


    already caused a two minute dy. By the time the ambnce arrives, it would be at least seven


    minutes. You have to decide whether you want to treat him now."


    Even though Shi Qing was busy working all the time and did not have time to take care of her, he


    did not treat her like Yu Xiuhua and Shi Xuexin. Shi Jin was happy to help him, but she would never


    insist on saving him like Mother Teresa.


    Neither Yu Xiuhua nor Shi Xuexin cared about him, so there was no reason for her to step up.


    Yu Xiuhua was still hesitating when Shi Xuexin said to the butler decisively, "Where is Shi Jin''s


    perfumed back? Bring it over this instant!"


    Shi Qing was in charge of the family''s business affairs, so if anything happened to him, all of them


    would get implicated! Shi Xuexin could only trust Shi Jin this time.


    Yu Xiuhua had secretly told the butler to discard the perfumed bag Shi Jin had given Shi Qing


    earlier.


    How could Shi Jin expect Yu Xiuhua to allow Shi Qing to use it and ce it under his pillow? It was


    thest thing Yu Xiuhua wanted to see.


    Fortunately, the butler was too upied to take care of the perfumed bag and simply left it aside


    without discarding it. Before long, he came over with the perfumed bag.


    Everyone saw a small bottle inside when Shi Jin opened the perfume bag. She swiftly opened the


    wooden stopper and gave Shi Qing the medication. She finally stopped when she had given him


    half the medication.


    Even though Shi Jin imed she wasn''t going to dive in and save Shi Qing, she remembered what


    her master said about the Hippocratic oath when she first became his disciple. It was deeply


    engraved in her mind and she would never forget it, not in two lifetimes.


    After Shi Jin had given Shi Qing the medication, everyone watched and waited.


    Yu Xiuhua clenched her fists tightly. If anything happened to Shi Qing, she would kill Shi Jin!
