Chapter 430 Xie Zhiyan Discovers Shu Ying's "Secret"

Xie Mingzhu spoke casually about how she felt when she hit Song Yaozu, but Shu Ying couldn't help but focus on the sentence, "They hit me with rattan canes."

Shu Ying took Xie Mingzhu's hand with a touch of heartache.

"Sister, you really suffered a lot in the past..."

Xie Mingzhu sighed softly, then smiled and patted Shu Ying's hand.

“It’s all in the past. I’ve already gotten my revenge. No one will ever hit me with a cane again.”

"Even if someone really dares to do that, you're all here for me. You'll definitely beat them up for me, right?"

Shu Ying immediately straightened up.

"Of course! If anyone dares to bully you, I'll tie them to a tree and hang them up, then whip them forty-nine times with a vine!"

As Shu Ying spoke, she gestured as if she were holding a vine and waving it around in a very professional manner.

Xie Mingzhu smiled again, her eyes sparkling with tenderness as she looked at Shu Ying.

"I knew it. With you guys here, I don't have to worry anymore."

"Besides, I'm not the Song Zhaodi I used to be. I'm Xie Mingzhu now, and I'm not so easy to bully!"

After Xie Mingzhu returned, she seemed to be completely different from before.

I felt completely relieved, more relaxed than before, and my spirits felt lighter.

Unlike before, although she may appear happy on the surface, she always gives people the feeling that she has something on her mind and is very heavy.

And Xie Mingzhu seems to be more confident now than before.

This confidence is not blind confidence, but the kind of confidence that comes from knowing you have family who love and support you, giving you a solid foundation and making you even more determined.

Shu Ying was genuinely happy for Xie Mingzhu and couldn't help but step forward and give her a hug.

"Sister, from today onwards, everything in the past is in the past. Your life will get better and better from now on, it definitely will."

Xie Mingzhu couldn't help but tear up, hugged Shu Ying back, and nodded.

"Thank you, Yingying."

Tonight's dinner was especially enjoyable and lively for the whole family.

That evening, after putting both children to sleep, Xie Zhiyan quietly left their room.

As soon as I entered my bedroom, I saw Shu Ying sitting at her desk, looking down and carefully flipping through the documents in her hands.

On the left is a small tape recorder, its green light shining through, the reel inside spinning, playing a string of foreign languages.

Xie Zhiyan listened carefully for a moment and realized that it didn't seem to be English. Then he suddenly remembered that Director Wu seemed to have given Shu Ying a cassette tape.

She's about to attend the upcoming reception, and listening to this tape is probably to familiarize herself with the tasks she'll be responsible for at the meeting.

While listening to the tape, Shu Ying was also paying close attention to the documents in her hands. She would occasionally look up and frown as she turned the pages, then rewind the tape to listen to it again, and make notes as she went.

Seeing how focused and diligent Shu Ying was, Xie Zhiyan didn't disturb her. He tiptoed to the bedside, sat down against the headboard, and picked up a book that Shu Ying had left on the bedside table to read.

But as I was looking at it, I suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

This book looks so familiar...

Xie Zhiyan closed the book again in disbelief, looked at the cover carefully, and felt an even stronger sense of familiarity.

He was somewhat surprised.

This book was actually the one he had casually picked up and flipped through while waiting in the study when he visited Shu Ying's house years ago.

Whether it's the book's color and texture, or even the small missing corner on the cover—

Everything is exactly the same, except it's a little older than before.

Xie Zhiyan couldn't help but look at the small bookshelf in the room again.

He browsed through them one by one; almost all of them were old books, and they looked quite old.

And he vaguely remembered seeing some of them before.

At least a large portion of these books were originally from Shu Ying's family.

But... that's somewhat impossible.

When Shu Ying's family was raided, these things should have been taken away.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that a small number of items might be taken away by private individuals, thus escaping unscathed.

But... Shu Ying was raising two children at the time, and she was so thin and frail.

Logically speaking, when people flee in a crisis, they usually choose to bring more practical clothes, daily necessities, and valuables.

Shu Ying is not only carrying herself, but also two children. It's already difficult enough for her to carry the clothes and daily necessities of three people by herself. Can she really carry so many books?

The more Xie Zhiyan pondered, the more his thoughts wandered, and the more strange things he found.

In fact, since Shu Ying returned this time, there are many places that he feels are worth exploring in detail.

Including Shu Ying's medical skills.

For example, he had just heard Duan Huaichuan mention Li Qingqing's childbirth a couple of days ago. He said that Li Qingqing's delivery was extremely difficult, the situation was very serious and critical, and she was severely weakened.

As a result, after Shu Ying's treatment and conditioning, she came to the capital with Shu Ying a few days after giving birth.

When Duan Huaichuan saw Li Qingqing, she didn't seem as weak and pale as he had heard.

If Duan Huaichuan wasn't exaggerating, then it could only be due to Shu Ying's medical skills.

Xie Zhiyan couldn't help but feel a little amazed when he thought about this.

He knew Shu Ying was a skilled doctor, but he didn't realize she was so skilled that she could make someone recover so quickly.

Even the best doctors in military hospitals would probably find it difficult to achieve such a rapid recovery for patients.
