"Furthermore, during this period, she won't be able to pick up and drop off the children from school," Mei Yun kept trying to find suitable reasons for the compensation she had requested earlier.
She also knew that the amount of money she was asking for was a bit too much. However, for Qin Si Ye, it was merely a drop in the ocean.
Since he hadn't proactively offered compensation after the incident, they decided to try and get as much as they could.
"I can also arrange for someone to specifically pick up and drop off the children. Of course, the compensation will not be reduced by a single cent."
"Auntie." Upon hearing this, Shen Xi immediately walked over, quickly snatched the phone, and said loudly, "Mr. Qin, Auntie was just joking with you. Please don't take it seriously."
After saying that, she abruptly hung up the phone.
A hint of anger flashed across Mei Yun's face, "Xi Xi, what's wrong with you? What rightfully belongs to you should be taken. Are you trying to save him money?"
"No. Auntie, it's really not necessary, and I don't want to have too much interaction with him." After saying this, Shen Xi walked into the walk-in closet.
Mei Yun frowned, carefully pondering the meaning behind her words.
Doesn't want to interact with him? Did she mean that her relationship with Qin Si Ye was just a normal one, not what she had imagined?
Heavens, then what had she just done? Hadn't she forcefully pushed them closer to each other?
Mei Yun lightly slapped her forehead. How could she be so foolish!
She quickly walked to the entrance of the walk-in closet and said to Shen Xi, who was changing her clothes, "Xi Xi, you're right. People like him who are so clueless, we should indeed limit our contact with him. We won't need him to arrange the pick-ups and drop-offs.
However, you can't let him off easily with that one million. You must take it."
Shen Xi frowned slightly. Her mindset had changed too quickly in less than two minutes!
"Xi Xi, don't look at me like that. I just had a flash of inspiration and figured everything out. Let's go downstairs for breakfast," Mei Yun said, her eyes blinking rapidly as she supported Shen Xi's arm and they left the bedroom.
After breakfast, Mei Yun played with the children for a while and then left.
Shen Xi stayed in her bedroom all day, reading a book for a while and playing games for another.
The children were all very well-behaved, wanting her to rest well, and none of them came in to disturb her.
During this time, she received a call from Qin Si Yue.
"Sister Xi, how are you? Are you feeling better now? Grandma and Dad are very worried about you."
Shen Xi replied, "Much better. I don't feel any pain now."
"Send me your home address. I'll come to see you. Otherwise, I'm really not at ease." Qin Si Yue's voice was filled with deep concern.
Shen Xi was surprised and quickly replied with a smile, "No need. My place is very remote, you really don't need to come. It's just a small injury, and it will heal quickly."
If she really came, and encountered the three children, then the Qin family might find out, and it would lead to another round of explanations.
"Sister Xi, why are you saying the same thing as my brother?" Qin Si Yue said.
Shen Xi asked, "What?"
Qin Si Yue replied with a laugh, "I asked my brother for your home address. He also said that your home is far away and you'll recover quickly, so there's no need to visit you."
"Oh." Shen Xi replied with a thoughtful "oh."
After dinner, with the help of the nanny, Xiao Lian, the children went to their rooms to wash up and fell asleep very early, not causing Shen Xi any worry.
This was the first truly leisurely day she had since returning to the country, and she felt a little unaccustomed to it.
After washing up and lying in bed, she received another call from Song Kai Cheng.
"Xi Xi, Auntie said you were bitten by a dog. How is it? Is it serious?"
There was a lot of noise on the other end of the phone; it was clear he was outside.
"It's nothing. I just broke the skin a little, and I've already gotten the shot," Shen Xi replied calmly.
Song Kai Cheng's voice couldn't hide his worry, "Xi Xi, don't hide it from me. Auntie said your wound was bleeding."
"It did bleed a little, but it's not serious," Shen Xi replied softly.
Song Kai Cheng asked, "Besides the rabies vaccine, did you get the tetanus shot?"
Shen Xi answered, "Yes, I did."
"Was it Qin Si Ye who accompanied you to get it?" After a pause, Song Kai Cheng asked again.
