Qin Si Yue spoke, tears welling up in her eyes once more.
Reaching out, Qin Si Ye handed her two tissues and asked, "Did he say that to you directly?"
"Yes," Qin Si Yue took the tissues, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a sob, "He said the reason we two couldn't be together... was his fault, not mine. He also said... he said our values are incompatible, and even if we were together, we wouldn't... wouldn't last long."
Hearing this, Qin Si Ye's heart jolted. Those words sounded so familiar, as if Shen Xi had said something similar before. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
"Si Yue, there's something I want to ask you?" Qin Si Ye looked at her with a serious expression.
"Brother, ask away." Qin Si Yue sniffled, doing her best to control her emotions and speak normally.
Qin Si Ye asked, "In this lifetime, is he the only one for you?"
"Yes. He is the only one. If I can't be with him, I will never marry in this life," Qin Si Yue replied with determined eyes.
Qin Si Ye couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that another devoted person had emerged from the Qin family.
He gently placed his hand on her shoulder and said softly, "Okay, Si Yue, I understand what you mean. I will help you with this.
Don't rush too much. Perhaps those words he spoke were just an excuse, and there might be other reasons behind it. I'll have someone investigate it more thoroughly."
After hearing his words, Qin Si Yue's eyes flickered a few times, as if she had thought of something.
"Brother, this afternoon I went to visit his mother. Outside the hospital room, I overheard a conversation between mother and son.
I vaguely heard Han Hao say something like: She's a Qin family daughter, I can't be with her.
Brother, what did he mean by that? At the time, I thought he was just pressured by the fact that our family is the richest in K City. Now that I think about it, things don't seem that simple."
"Oh? Did he really say that?" Qin Si Ye frowned.
"Mmm." Qin Si Yue was now even more certain, she had heard that sentence very clearly.
After a moment of thought, Qin Si Ye said, "Good. Don't overthink it, live your life normally, and work hard. Leave the rest to me.
If you two are destined in this life, no matter how big the difficulty, it can be overcome, and no matter how wide the chasm, it can be crossed. It's just a matter of time.
Sometimes, retreating to advance might be the only way to see everything more clearly and find solutions more easily."
Hearing this, a glint of confidence gradually appeared in Qin Si Yue's eyes, and a faint smile touched her lips, "Brother, have you and Sister Xi made progress?"
"You know already?" Qin Si Ye looked at her in surprise.
"Mmm. It hasn't been many days since I moved in, and Grandma told me. But I've never brought it up with Sister Xi myself," Qin Si Yue replied with a smile.
Qin Si Ye affectionately ruffled her hair, "You're doing well, keep it up. I'm going down now; she's giving Grandma acupuncture."
But as he took a step to turn away, Qin Si Yue suddenly asked again, "Brother, is this the strategy you used with Sister Xi?"
Qin Si Ye stopped, turned around, and raised an eyebrow, "You could say that. So, you need to calm down now and not push too hard. Taking a step back might just lead to a breakthrough."
When Qin Si Ye reached the downstairs living room, Shen Xi had just finished the acupuncture session for Xu Zhi Lan.
"Xi Xi, look, Si Ye went out all day yesterday, and I don't know what he did, but he actually hit his head and broke the skin. Go and check on him, see if it needs to be cleaned again," Xu Zhi Lan glanced at him and then turned to Shen Xi.
Hearing this, Shen Xi and Qin Si Ye exchanged a glance. She knew he must have been trying to prevent Grandma from worrying and hadn't told her about what happened yesterday.
However, after searching the medicine cabinet for a long time, she couldn't find any iodine for disinfection, so she said, "Grandma, I don't have any disinfectant here. How about I go home and get some?"
Just as she turned to leave, Qin Si Ye called out to her.
"No need. I'll drive you back, and we can change the dressing there."
Seeing that Shen Xi didn't object, Xu Zhi Lan beamed with joy and said with a smile, "Good, good, Si Ye is truly thoughtful. Hurry up and go."
As soon as the two of them stepped out of the door, Shen Xi began to inquire about Qin Si Yue's situation.
Qin Si Ye explained the situation to her briefly.
"What? How could Qin Hao Ming be like this? I specifically advised him last time, why is he still so stubborn?" Shen Xi sighed in disappointment upon hearing this.
Qin Si Ye walked beside her, looking at her sideways, "And he said the same thing to you."
"What did he say?" Shen Xi asked in surprise.
