Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Quick Results
The main reason was still the absence of the elderly.
If the elderly were at home, how could she possibly have gotten up so late? She would have been woken up by their fussing about this and that from early morning.
And if she didn’t do something to their satisfaction, if they didn’t like it, she would have been scolded.
At this moment, Liu Zheng was also helping in the kitchen.
"Oh dear, you’re a guest, you should just go to the living room and play. I’ll have everything ready in a bit; there’s no need for you to come over and help me."
After hearing this, Liu Zheng immediately shook his head and refused.
"How can I possibly do that? How can I let a beautiful woman like you be busy alone?"
Upon hearing this, a smile once again appeared on Li Yanling’s face.
Being with him indeed had a very high emotional value.
She felt that sometimes the gloom could be dispersed because of him.
Just as the two of them were chatting and laughing while busying themselves in the kitchen,
suddenly a voice came from behind them.
"What are you doing?"
After hearing the voice, both of them immediately turned their heads to look.
Upon closer inspection,
it turned out to be Xiao Kai who had come out.
She hadn’t expected him to actually come out from the bedroom.
Indeed, this made the two people in front a bit embarrassed.
Quickly, Li Yanling also immediately started to explain.
"This is Uncle Liu; he’s the one who prescribed your medicine."
Truth be told, when she said this, her heart had risen to her throat.
Her relationship with Xiao Kai had finally eased a bit,
and she was extremely afraid that if Xiao Kai got angry because there was another man in the house, then all her previous efforts would have been in vain.
So at this moment, she was also watching Xiao Kai’s expression very cautiously.
On the side, Liu Zheng immediately introduced himself as well.
"Yes, hello, I’m Liu Zheng, you can call me Uncle Liu."
To tell the truth, he was also a bit nervous.
He didn’t know what kind of mood Xiao Kai would be in.
After all, the last time he came to their house, the child really ignored him and seemed to dislike him a lot.
Surprisingly, after a brief pause, Xiao Kai then smiled and said,
"So it’s Uncle Liu, I really have to thank you this time, I feel much better now."
After hearing this, the hearts of Liu Zheng and Li Yanling that had been suspended the whole time, finally settled back into place at that moment.
They had been worried to death,
but they had never imagined that Xiao Kai would make such a big change in such a short time.
How could it not be considered a blessing for them?
So very quickly,
Liu Zheng also said with a smile,
"It’s nothing; I’m a friend of your mother’s, and it’s only right to help each other as friends. Seeing that you’re much better now also makes me very happy."
And naturally, Li Yanling was very happy as well.
"Yes, Xiao Kai, you’re much better now, you can even walk out of the bedroom by yourself."
"Seeing you like this now makes me very happy too."
These were truly Li Yanling’s heartfelt words.
Previously, she wasn’t clear about when Xiao Kai could start to get better.
But now, she realized the medicine Liu Zheng gave her was truly effective. After just one day, he had improved so much.
"Mom, let me help you."
Li Yanling naturally shook her head without hesitation, refusing his offer after hearing Kai say these words.
"Oh dear, you should stay away, child. You’re still not completely well from your illness. You should rest up. In a bit, your mother and Uncle Liu will have the meal ready."
Upon hearing this, Kai insisted on coming to the kitchen.
Perhaps it was because he now understood that he had been deceived before.
He realized just how foolish he had been at the time.
Now that he felt a little better, he wanted to try his hardest to make it up to Li Yanling.
And at this moment,
he once again came to Li Yanling’s side.
"It’s okay, Mom. I’ve already recovered quite a bit, and doing some household chores isn’t a problem."
"I was really wrong before. I was totally bewitched, unaware of how much you had sacrificed for this family."
How could Li Yanling not feel gratified after hearing these words?
She was truly overjoyed.
She immediately went up to him and then raised her hand to pat his shoulder.
"Kai, Mom is very happy that you understand all this now, but you’re still sick. You should rest up, and once you’re better, you can help Mom then. There’s no rush."
Upon hearing Li Yanling say this, Liu Zheng immediately chimed in.
"Yeah, Kai, you should go rest for now. There will be plenty of chances to help your mom in the future."
"You’re still not well, and if you come to help and your condition worsens, your mom might end up more worn out by worrying."
After hearing both of them say this, Kai thought it over carefully and seemed to agree that they had a point.
So, he quickly nodded his head.
"Okay, then I’ll leave it to Uncle Liu and Mom. Just call me if you need anything later."
Afterward, he immediately returned to his bedroom.
Soon, Liu Zheng and Li Yanling also began to bustle about in the kitchen.
"My goodness, I never expected him to change so much in such a short time."
After hearing this, Liu Zheng indeed found it quite incredible.
At that moment, he couldn’t help but nod and say,
"Indeed, when I first thought of a solution, I only hoped that the two of you could get along a bit better, but I never expected to see such a drastic change."
He himself was utterly astonished.
He had only sought out a way to help Li Yanling out of her predicament.
But to expect a complete turnaround seemed almost too simplistic.
After all, he wasn’t a miracle worker capable of making everyone develop as he envisioned.
Everyone has their own unique perspectives,
even when experiencing the same event.
The insights they gain might differ.
When Liu Zheng first met Kai,
Kai’s attitude towards him was terribly unfriendly.
Even a stranger on the street wouldn’t be as indifferent as he was.
So he never thought there would be such a successful outcome.
"To be honest, I’m also surprised; I never expected him to change for the better so significantly."
"But anyhow, this is a good thing for you. You won’t get hurt by this anymore."
Liu Zheng quickly added.
After all, it used to be Kai and the old folks ganging up to bully Li Yanling.
