The three of them looked over, only to see Qin Xiuzhi and Jiang Jie walking towards them quickly.
Upon seeing this, Han Haoming’s eyes darkened, and he immediately bid farewell to Xu Zhilan and left.
“Who was that policeman?” Qin Xiuzhi asked, his gaze following Han Haoming’s departing figure as he arrived beside them.
Xu Zhilan replied curtly, “Si Yue’s friend.”
She was quite displeased. If they hadn’t suddenly appeared, she could have chatted with Han Haoming for a while longer.
“When did Si Yue make a police friend? How come I didn’t know?” Qin Xiuzhi looked at Qin Si Yue with surprise.
Her small face flushed, and Qin Si Yue lowered her head, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Jiang Jie, being very perceptive, immediately noticed something was amiss and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Si Yue isn’t dating someone, is she?”
“Don’t be silly. Don’t guess wildly, he’s just a regular friend.” Xu Zhilan knew that Qin Si Yue didn’t want to tell others about this matter yet, and she immediately stopped their imaginations.
The next morning, after undergoing the relevant treatment and check-ups, Xu Zhilan began the discharge procedures.
The entire Qin family was present, including Su Chengyu.
When he saw Qin Siye and Shen Xi busily attending to things with perfect coordination, his heart felt very uneasy, and he maintained a cold expression.
That day in the club corridor, although he hadn’t clearly heard what they were discussing, both of their expressions were grim. It was obvious they had argued, and they parted on bad terms in the end.
They hadn’t seen each other for just a few days, and now they were already reconciled?
What exactly was the relationship between them now?
At that moment, Xu Zhilan waved him over, “Chengyu, come here.”
Su Chengyu walked to the bedside and called out, “Grandma.”
Thinking she wanted him to get something for her, she instead pointed at Shen Xi, who was busy working, and said, “Yin Xi has already registered her marriage with your cousin. Hurry up and call her cousin-in-law.”
Everyone in the room was startled, but they immediately understood that Xu Zhilan’s memory hadn’t fully recovered, and she had been mistaking Shen Xi for Yin Xi these past few days.
However, these words struck Su Chengyu like a bomb.
Yin Xi? Cousin-in-law? The scene of Yin Xi accompanying Qin Siye to the Qin family for the first time five years ago suddenly flashed before his eyes.
The flame of jealousy in his heart slowly ignited.
Why did Grandma always mistake her for Yin Xi? Was she really Yin Xi?
He couldn’t help but look up and examine her closely. Her figure did indeed bear some resemblance to Yin Xi.
But her face and voice were nothing like Yin Xi’s. Who exactly was she? What was her relationship with Yin Xi?
For the first time, Su Chengyu’s curiosity and suspicion about Shen Xi’s identity were aroused.
“Chengyu, didn’t you hear what I said? Hurry up and call her,” Xu Zhilan reminded him again.
Su Chengyu found it difficult to say the words, but he couldn’t correct her in public. So, he forced himself to call out, “Cous—”
“Yin Xi, you and Si Yue push Grandma to the basement first. Let the bodyguards handle the rest of the things.”
Qin Siye, who was not far away, clearly saw his expression. His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately spoke up to interrupt him.
Whether Su Chengyu called her cousin-in-law or not was irrelevant to him, but he couldn’t let him become suspicious of Shen Xi’s identity.
This person was too insidious. If he were to find out the truth, who knew what trouble he might stir up.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xi immediately put down what she was holding, turned around, pushed Xu Zhilan past Su Chengyu, and walked out the door.
Upon reaching the basement, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing her grandmother suddenly say those words had given her a cold sweat.
She had kept her head down, her back to everyone. But she distinctly felt a pair of eyes fixed on her.
She didn’t know if it had aroused Su Chengyu’s suspicion.
If she had known this would happen, she shouldn’t have stayed to help them pack.
“Sister Xi, what’s wrong?” Qin Si Yue, noticing she seemed preoccupied, asked with concern.
“It’s nothing.” Shen Xi immediately turned to her with a smile.
Five minutes later, Qin Siye emerged from the elevator, helped Xu Zhilan into the car, and turned to them, saying, “You two go to work, I’ll take Grandma back myself.”
After they took the elevator up, they first went to the cafeteria for lunch and then returned to their respective offices to rest.
Shen Xi felt a bit uneasy, constantly worried that Su Chengyu might suddenly appear and ask her some difficult questions.
She locked her office door from the inside as soon as she arrived, but Su Chengyu never appeared until closing time.
Shen Xi sighed softly, thinking she had been worrying unnecessarily.
Little did she know that Su Chengyu had spent the entire afternoon circling the hospital, trying to approach her.
However, he found that two people were constantly monitoring him from not far away. He guessed they were left by Qin Siye.
He tried many tactics but couldn’t shake off the two men. Finally, he had to leave in his car, dejected.
“Mr. Qin, Young Master Su was wandering around the hospital for a long time, always trying to get closer to the outpatient building. He just left.” When the two bodyguards delivered this news to Qin Siye, his body stiffened, and he abruptly stood up from his chair.
