When Yin Xi received Qin Si Ye's call, Shen Xi had just finished lunch and was walking into her study.
She looked at her phone in surprise. This was the first time Qin Si Ye had contacted her proactively since they parted ways on the road.
Recalling the events of the previous night, Shen Xi hesitated slightly, but ultimately answered.
What if he had something urgent to tell her?
"Hello? Shen Xi, Grandma fainted, what should we do now?" As soon as the call connected, Qin Si Ye's trembling voice came from the other end.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xi stood up from her chair in astonishment. "Where are you?"
"At the Qin family villa," Qin Si Ye replied.
The Qin family villa. So he had brought Grandma home today.
"Lay her down flat and carry her to a quiet room. I'll get ready and be there immediately," Shen Xi said, walking towards her bedroom.
Qin Si Ye's anxious voice was tinged with worry. "Okay. You don't need to drive, I'll have Butler Liu pick you up."
Her steps faltered slightly. Shen Xi felt a surge of nervousness and panic. If she drove there alone, she would surely be flustered.
She also remembered that she had ridden in Butler Liu's car once five years ago. His driving skills were excellent, and he would definitely drive faster than her.
Qin Si Ye's consideration was very thoughtful.
"Okay." Shen Xi hung up the phone, immediately took off her loungewear, changed into a decent set of clothes, grabbed her medical kit, and hurried downstairs.
As soon as she stepped out the door, she saw Butler Liu waiting for her in a Maybach.
Twenty minutes later, when Shen Xi rushed into the Qin family living room, she saw all the Qin family members sitting on the sofa, looking at her with strange expressions. Her steps faltered.
What was going on? Why were they looking at her like that?
Just as she was wondering, Qin Xiu Yi immediately stood up and walked towards her. "Dr. Shen, you're here. Quickly, my mother is in her room."
After speaking, he turned and walked inside.
Shen Xi nodded slightly at the other three on the sofa and followed him.
"Hmph." Qin Xue Lan glanced dismissively at her back and turned to Qin Xiu Zhi. "Brother, did you see that? How arrogant that woman is. She enters the Qin family so casually, as if she owns the place, without even greeting us."
"She was in a hurry to see Mom. She wasn't like this before," Qin Xiu Zhi recalled Shen Xi's previous behavior when visiting the Qin family. She had always been polite and considerate. He couldn't help but speak a fair word for her.
At that moment, Jiang Jie's eyes flickered a few times, and she deliberately asked, "Xue Lan, is the relationship between Si Ye and Dr. Shen really as you say?"
"Does that even need asking? Can't you see it? Who does Si Ye have eyes for now? Only that woman, and he only trusts that woman," Qin Xue Lan replied with a sinister glint in her eyes.
Thinking about it, they had all been kicked out just now. He hadn't called for an ambulance, but he had invited Shen Xi over.
It was obvious how much he trusted this woman.
"Alright, Xue Lan, can you stop talking?" At this point, Qin Xiu Zhi suddenly stood up from the sofa. "If you hadn't said those things just now, would Mom have fainted? Now Dr. Shen has rushed all the way here to see Mom, and you're here making sarcastic remarks. Isn't that going too far?
If it's really as you said at the table earlier, and Shen Xi and Si Ye end up together, I think that would be quite good. At least it would be very beneficial for Mom's illness."
"Brother, I didn't mean that, listen to me..." Qin Xue Lan immediately stood up when she saw her brother getting angry, wanting to explain.
The key was that he actually agreed with Shen Xi and Si Ye dating, which was completely beyond her expectations.
How could this be? She would never allow that woman to enter the Qin family and had to strongly prevent it.
Qin Xiu Yi, however, glared at her with annoyance and turned towards the main entrance, unwilling to listen to her anymore.
Jiang Jie quickly followed him. Before turning away, she cast a meaningful glance at Qin Xue Lan.
It was as if she was saying: Don't worry, I will try my best to stop this matter and will never let it become a reality.
