Xu Zhilan listened to Qin Xuelan’s tirade, her anger surging.
“Xuelan, how can you say that about Si Ye? I already talked to you about what happened at the restaurant. Si Ye only said that because you pushed him.
This time, he asked me to move in because he thought it was too much for Xi Xi to run back and forth. It’s also because she was bitten by a dog at our house, and it’s inconvenient for her to drive back and forth.”
Xu Zhilan said this because she had promised Qin Si Ye not to tell anyone else about her pursuing Shen Xi.
Seeing their recent interactions seemed unusual, with little contact, and even their arrangement for daily pickups and drop-offs had been canceled.
She didn't want their family’s suspicions to cause further misunderstandings and obstacles for them. She was reading.
“Mom, you always speak well of your eldest grandson. It was at this very table that I suggested introducing Dr. Shen to Chengyu, and you immediately refused, saying no one was allowed to have any ideas about her.
But the moment it comes to Si Ye, your attitude does a complete 180-degree turn. It’s true that grandsons from your daughter’s side and your son’s side are different. Mom, I think you’re just biased.” Qin Xuelan put down her chopsticks and said loudly and aggressively.
Hearing this, Xu Zhilan’s angry expression intensified. She raised her hand to point at Qin Xuelan, unable to speak a complete sentence for a long time, “You…”
Seeing this, everyone straightened up. Qin Xiuzhi slammed down his chopsticks and said loudly, “Xuelan, shut up! How can you talk to Mom like that? She finally came back for a visit, and you’re not happy unless you make her angry, are you?”
“I’m just telling the truth. Mom is indeed biased.” Qin Xuelan scoffed dismissively, “However, I’m not interested in that woman anymore. We don’t want her for Chengyu either.
She’s not attractive, and she always has a cold and aloof expression. In reality, she’s just trying to provoke men’s desire to conquer her, making them all revolve around her.
Don’t you all think she has ulterior motives for coming to the Qin family to treat Mom? Perhaps she’s had her eyes on the position of the Qin family’s young madam for a long time.
Look, she’s already captivated the souls of two people.
Brother, you need to be careful, or you might not even realize when your future daughter-in-law has you wrapped around her finger.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Si Ye abruptly stood up. With too much force, the chair behind him crashed to the floor with a “bang.”
“Say that again, and see what happens.”
Looking at his fierce, scarlet eyes, Qin Xuelan’s heart faltered, but she didn’t back down, immediately rising from her chair as well.
After all, she was his elder, and it was in front of the whole family. She didn’t believe he could do anything to her.
“Hmph. What do you think you’re doing? Are you going to hit me?”
Qin Si Ye clenched his fists, veins bulging, making “crackling” sounds.
“Si Ye, calm down.” Qin Xiuyu, seeing their tense standoff, quickly grabbed Qin Si Ye’s arm to persuade him.
At this moment, Xu Zhilan, sitting in the main seat, was breathing heavily and rapidly. She suddenly leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes.
Qin Si Ye, who was closest to her, quickly reached out to support her body and exclaimed, “Grandma, what’s wrong?”
The others also gathered around, anxiously calling out, “Mom, Mom, wake up.”
Extending a trembling finger, Qin Si Ye gently placed it beneath her nose. Fortunately, she was still breathing.
It seemed his grandmother had fainted.
He immediately bent down to pick her up, intending to carry her to the bedroom.
Qin Xuelan, frightened, grabbed her arm and burst into tears, “Mom, Mom, you… don’t scare me. I was wrong, I apologize! I shouldn’t have said those idiotic things just now.”
“Get out of the way!” Qin Si Ye’s eyes were cold, emitting a chilling, captivating glint.
Qin Xuelan trembled and fearfully moved aside.
Qin Si Ye, carrying Xu Zhilan, rushed to her bedroom, with the others following tensely.
Gently placing her on the bed, Qin Si Ye looked back at everyone, his voice icy, “All of you, get out.”
The others were momentarily at a loss, so they followed his command.
As Qin Xiuyu was leaving, he asked, “Si Ye, should we call 120 for an ambulance?”
“I’ll ask Shen Xi first,” Qin Si Ye replied, immediately taking out his phone and dialing Shen Xi’s number.
