Detention cell.

Qian Jiali felt like each day was an eternity, even though Zhao Changshun had previously sent her bedding and even said that he would take care of her for Ye Chen's sake.

But the thought of leaving now would be tantamount to acquiring a bad reputation.

Qian Jiali was filled with regret!

I should have known that people are cold-hearted. Even if you're from the same village and grew up together, you can never trust them!

Are you still hoping those people will remember your old friendship and take care of your business?

What a joke!

What kept Qian Jiali awake for a long time was Ye Chen's performance today.

The person I thought was the least reliable has now become my greatest hope.

To be honest, my previous doubts about Ye Chen were a complete joke!

"Ye Chen seems to have really changed. Normally, he'd avoid the police like the plague!"

"Yet today he willingly stepped in front of me to protect me. Although he hasn't changed his old habits, at least he's learned to take responsibility!"

As Qian Jiali thought this, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

She subconsciously recalled the time when she had just married Ye Chen, when he made promises to her face more than once.

When I have money in the future, I must open a clinic and have Qian Jiali as the manager!

"Sigh, I'm not counting on him anymore. I'd be grateful if he didn't cause me any trouble!"

Qian Jiali shook her head, sighing inwardly.

Just then, Zhao Changshun reappeared: "Your time is up, you can leave!"

"So fast?"

Qian Jiali was stunned. She had thought that once she entered the police station, she would at least suffer some hardship.

Unexpectedly, I slept soundly for one night and everything was fine?

"What are you standing there for? Let's go!"

Seeing Qian Jiali standing there in a daze, Zhao Changshun urged her on, and on the way, he didn't forget to remind her.

"If you ask me, it's all thanks to Ye Chen this time. He raised the ransom overnight and came to the police station early this morning, saying he didn't want you to suffer any more injustice!"

"You've gotten out of here, you should thank him properly!"

ransom?

Qian Jiali frowned and nodded silently.

As they walked out of the detention area, they found Ye Chen already waiting for them.

After being uncuffed, Qian Jiali thanked Zhao Changshun and immediately ran behind Ye Chen.

She had a thousand words in her heart, but the moment she saw Ye Chen, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

His mouth choked with sobs, and he could no longer utter a single word!

"Alright, let's go home. It's good that everything's alright now!"

Seeing Qian Jiali's somber expression, Ye Chen quickly tried to appease her, even taking her hand as he spoke.

Surprisingly, the ex-wife did not resist and followed Ye Chen out of the police station.

Seeing that no one was around, Qian Jiali stopped and asked, bowing her head.

"How much ransom did you pay?"

"What? We're family, and you're saying that to me?"

"Who says we're family? We're divorced a long time ago, okay? Name your amount, and even if I owe you, I'll definitely pay you back someday!"

Qian Jiali stubbornly insisted, while Ye Chen shook his head.

"How much have you done for me before? If I still want money from you, would I be a man?"

"Alright, let's leave it at that. If you bring up money again, I'll get angry!"

Ye Chen kept a straight face and deliberately spoke, and Qian Jiali fell silent.

"Oh, by the way, I twisted my back yesterday while hiking in the mountains. Since we're heading into town, come with me to the clinic!"

"What happened? Did you run into a wild boar? I told you before that going into the mountains is dangerous, why didn't you listen?"

Upon hearing that Ye Chen was injured, Qian Jiali seemed to change completely, her face filled with anxiety, and she rushed forward to touch Ye Chen's waist.

Taking advantage of the situation, Ye Chen wrapped his arm around Qian Jiali's waist.

Qian Jiali immediately lost her balance and fell into Ye Chen's arms.

"Are you worried about me?" Ye Chen whispered in Qian Jiali's ear, teasing her on purpose.

Qian Jiali blushed instantly and quickly struggled free: "Bullshit! I wouldn't even care if you died in the woods!"

"I'm just... I'm just afraid you'll die too young. You still owe me a lot, and you'll have to pay it back slowly in the future!"

"Okay, I'll repay you for the rest of my life, and I'll take care of you from now on!" Ye Chen took the opportunity to confess his love.

Qian Jiali's heart started racing, and for a moment, she felt the same way she did when she was in love.

Embarrassed, she lowered her head and dared not utter another word.

"Just stick with me, and I promise I won't make the same mistake again!"

Ye Chen took the opportunity to grab Qian Jiali's hand, and this time, Qian Jiali dared not resist.

Ye Chen deliberately slowed his pace, quietly enjoying this rare moment of warmth.

Now, he has won over both Tian Xiaohui and Qian Jiali. Although they haven't rekindled their original feelings, they are no longer as resistant as before.

Next, as long as Luo Ling is won over, all three women will be taken care of.

With that thought in mind, Ye Chen soon arrived at the Longevity Pharmacy.

The two entered the room, and Ye Chen explained the patient's condition to the old man.

After examining Ye Chen, the old man shook his head and sighed as he massaged him.

"Sigh, the economy is really bad these days; fewer and fewer people are studying medicine!"

"Old man, I'm so old, and I still have to work here every day. If only I could find someone to help me!"

Ye Chen immediately reminded her, "Jiali, didn't you used to travel around practicing medicine with your uncle?"

"Sir, my ex-wife has studied medicine since she was a child, and she does have some skills. If you really need someone, why not give her a try?"

I?

Qian Jiali was completely stunned. She never expected that what she came to see a doctor would turn into a job interview.

This unexpected opportunity struck her as somewhat unusual.

At Ye Chen's prompting, Qian Jiali didn't have time to think and hurriedly nodded, wanting to seize this rare opportunity.

"Sir, I'm skilled in acupuncture and massage, and I'm also quite adept at treating illnesses and dispensing medicine. If you don't mind, I can try working here for a few days. Once you're satisfied with my abilities, you can hire me then!"

Qian Jiali volunteered, but she was struggling with her own thoughts as she said it.

I just got out of the police station and have a bad reputation. Do you think anyone would want me?

Unexpectedly, the old man was much more agreeable than he had imagined. He simply waved his hand and nodded without questioning Qian Jiali's past.

"Girl, you seem like a capable person. How about this, you come to my pharmacy tomorrow. It'll be a three-day trial period. If you're competent, you'll earn thirty yuan a month thereafter. How about that?"

"I know you're from the countryside. You can work at a pharmacy, and each session only takes three days. You can also rest for three days at home."

Three days on, three days off?

Thirty yuan a month?

This treatment is probably no worse than the "iron rice bowl" jobs in state-owned enterprises. Is it really a blessing from heaven?

Qian Jiali was overjoyed; how could she possibly refuse?

He nodded repeatedly in agreement, and then took over the work from the old man, starting to massage Ye Chen.

"Not bad, not bad!"

The old man stood to the side, nodding repeatedly as he watched Qian Jiali reach out her hand.

I was overjoyed!

Qian Jiali thought it was a golden opportunity, but little did she know that Ye Chen had clearly made a prior agreement with the old man!

The thirty yuan a month was paid out of Ye Chen's own pocket!

The old man didn't have to spend a penny; he got a helper for free, and he was already overjoyed!

This couple is really interesting!

We wish there were more people like this!
