Seeing Shen Xi sitting there without picking up her chopsticks, Qin Si Ye frowned, "What's wrong? The food doesn't suit your taste?"
"I'm not hungry," Shen Xi replied indifferently.
Qin Si Ye put down his chopsticks and looked at her, "How could you not be hungry? Didn't you skip dinner? People are iron, rice is steel; not eating for a meal makes one feel hungry. I don't want to talk business with a hungry person."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xi picked up her chopsticks, randomly took large bites of a few dishes, and then looked up at him, "Can we talk now?"
At this moment, she only wanted to get to the point, finish the conversation quickly, and leave. Being in an enclosed space with him always made her feel awkward.
Qin Si Ye's lips curved slightly as he picked up his chopsticks and said slowly, "Dr. Shen, haste makes waste."
"Then what do you want?" Shen Xi's gaze darkened, showing impatience.
"We'll talk while we eat," Qin Si Ye looked directly at her, his expression unchanged.
Shen Xi picked up her chopsticks and replied forcefully, "Okay."
Wasn't it just accompanying him for a meal? As long as he agreed to sell the Yin family villa to her, this little sacrifice was nothing.
Seeing Shen Xi eating normally, Qin Si Ye finally steered the conversation to the main topic, "You want to buy the Yin family villa, are you fulfilling Yin Xi's wish?"
Hearing this, Shen Xi's heart faltered slightly. Her chopsticks hovered in mid-air as she looked up at him, "Yes."
"Are you really her cousin?" Qin Si Ye looked at her with deep, profound eyes. Although her stubborn gaze and build were very similar to Yin Xi's, he still harbored doubts.
"Yes. Her mother is my paternal aunt, and I resemble my mother more," Shen Xi replied calmly and naturally.
Qin Si Ye recalled that on the day Yin Xi's father was buried, he had personally seen her mother's surname was indeed Shen, and her name was Shen Ru Jun.
He lowered his head, picked up a piece of dish, and put it into his bowl, then slowly said, "I paid a high price for the Yin family villa back then."
"I know that. Mr. Qin bought it originally for appreciation. Property prices in K City have been stagnant and fluctuating for the past few years. Mr. Fu should have told you that no matter how much you paid for it, I'm willing to pay an extra thirty percent." Shen Xi looked at him, her expression earnest.
Quite a confident statement, an extra thirty percent. It seemed this internationally renowned doctor had saved a lot of money? Moreover, who told him that he had bought the Yin family villa for appreciation and profit?
"I spent 50 million when I bought it," Qin Si Ye revealed the price, not believing that a girl like her could really come up with so much money at once.
"No problem. I'll give you 65 million," Shen Xi said without batting an eyelid, blurting it out.
Qin Si Ye was startled. He had intended to scare her away, but he hadn't expected her to actually have so much money. After a pause, Qin Si Ye drank some juice, his eyes deep as he looked at her, "You can buy the villa, but you must answer a few questions truthfully."
"Ask away?" Shen Xi felt a glimmer of hope. She put down her chopsticks and replied without hesitation.
Seeing her prompt reply, Qin Si Ye gazed at her intently, "After Yin Xi's car accident and her move to Country B, I heard there was a Mr. Song who took care of her at the hospital. Who was that person?"
Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat. He had actually tracked down the hospital. Fortunately, Brother Kai Cheng had contacted the hospital in advance and added Shen Xi's information. How could Brother Kai Cheng's whereabouts be discovered by him? Could someone have let it slip?
"He is my friend. He took care of Yin Xi with me at the hospital back then," Shen Xi met his searching gaze, replying as calmly as ever.
Qin Si Ye lowered his head in thought for a moment, then looked up again, his gaze deepening, "One more question, the one I asked you earlier in front of the Qin family villa. I hope you will answer me truthfully."
