"Chen Chen? Who is Chen Chen?" Xu Zhilan frowned slightly, raising her eyes to look at them.
Qin Siye realized he had let slip, how could he have revealed Chen Chen's name?
If Grandmother knew that Chen Chen and Yan Yan were children born to Yin Xi and another man, how heartbroken she would be.
Just as he was about to explain, Shen Xi interjected, "Grandmother, Chen Chen is my friend's child. He had a high fever last night, and I took him to the hospital for an IV drip. Mr. Qin happened to see us."
"Oh, is that so?" Xu Zhilan looked at Qin Siye thoughtfully. "You were sick? Why did you go to the hospital?"
Having told one lie, one had to prepare a hundred more to cover it up.
But sometimes, one had no choice but to tell such a lie.
Qin Siye forced himself to say, "No. I'm in good health, how could I be sick? I was visiting a friend."
Hearing this, Xu Zhilan gave him a look. "You're in good health, so why aren't you married?"
Suddenly, she took Shen Xi's small hand, which was resting on the edge of the stone platform. "Xixi, you're a doctor, help me see if there's any medicine for mysophobia."
Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat. She immediately understood whom "mysophobia" referred to. Smiling, she said, "Grandmother, as far as I know, mysophobia is a psychological disorder. It's best to see a psychiatrist."
"Did you hear that, you rascal? I've told you long ago that if you're sick, you need to get treated. You always run away. I think you're going to end up like your uncle, staying single your whole life." Mentioning this always made Xu Zhilan sad, and her eyes would well up.
Seeing this, Shen Xi, wanting to comfort her, blurted out without thinking, "Grandmother, doesn't Mr. Qin have a fiancée? How can he be single?"
The moment the words left her mouth, she regretted it. Was she crazy to bring up that woman, Lu Yushan?
However, Xu Zhilan followed her lead, elaborating, "Five years ago, I don't know how that woman Lu Yushan managed to get into Siye's bed, and later claimed she was pregnant with his child. Siye, out of responsibility, had no choice but to agree to marry her.
Who knew that the child was later lost in an accident. Siye never liked her. He wanted to offer her financial compensation, but she refused outright. For years, she's been clinging to him.
A woman so calculating and with such questionable morals, how could she possibly enter the Qin family? As long as I'm alive, she can only dream."
"Grandmother, please stop," Qin Siye said, his expression darkening, trying to stop her.
Hearing her bring up these matters in front of Shen Xi made him feel extremely awkward.
"Why can't I say it? Xixi is not an outsider. In my heart, she's like my granddaughter." Xu Zhilan glared at him and continued,
"Xixi, let me tell you, actually, five years ago, Siye brought back a girl named Yin Xi. Our whole family liked her very much.
If it weren't for Lu Yushan's sudden appearance, perhaps they would have even had children..."
"Grandmother, Sister Xi, Brother, you're all here? I've been looking for you." Suddenly, Qin Si Yue's voice came from a distance, interrupting her.
Xu Zhilan smiled. "You silly girl, you finally woke up?"
"Grandmother, I woke up long ago, I even finished breakfast a while ago," Qin Si Yue said with a smile, then turned to Qin Si Ye with a serious expression. "Brother, Auntie and Cheng Yu Ge are here, they said they have something to discuss with you.
And Cheng Yu Ge is even in a wheelchair."
All three were stunned.
The four returned to the living room and indeed saw Su Cheng Yu sitting in a wheelchair with his head hanging low.
As soon as Qin Xue Lan saw them enter, she quickly walked up to Xu Zhilan and began to cry.
"Mom. Please, you be the judge. Si Ye last... last night actually hit Cheng Yu. Look at him... he's still listless."
