"Oh? It seems they have abandoned even their own family to escape," Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
It was hard to imagine what kind of family this was.
It was no wonder they could raise a daughter like Lu Yushan, who was so selfish and malicious.
"I've also inquired about Lu Huai'an's case. It has been processed and he will likely be sentenced to over ten years," Qin Si said, his eyes dark.
Thinking of being drugged by Su Chengyu five years ago and getting entangled with such a family filled him with disgust.
His hatred for Su Chengyu intensified.
Shen Xi seemed to guess his thoughts and suddenly moved closer to him, nudging his hand. "Let's put this matter to rest. They have received their due punishment, and Lu Yushan probably won't dare to return to K City again."
The next moment, the man pulled her into his arms with force and whispered in her ear, "Xi Xi, how I wish I had met you sooner."
Shen Xi's heart stirred. She felt like she had heard these words from him before.
"Perhaps everything is fate, who... who can change it?" Shen Xi felt a pang of sadness and remained still, allowing him to hold her.
How she wished she could erase those three years with Su Chengyu, but fate played tricks, making her meet that scumbag first.
Just then, Qin Si Ye suddenly rubbed his head against her neck, his low voice filled with allure, "Xi Xi, why are you so persistent about collecting those 10 thank yous? Since we like each other, why can't we be together sooner?"
Hearing this, Shen Xi knew this man was becoming emotional again. She immediately pushed him away, stood up, and took two steps back. "Qin Si Ye, you were the one who proposed this. A person should honor their promises.
If you continue to pressure me like this, I'll have the housekeeper and Fang Sao prevent you from entering the house from now on.
It's getting late, you should go back."
Qin Si Ye's gaze turned melancholic. He slowly stood up, strode in front of her, and before she could react, he grabbed her waist and pressed a deep kiss on her lips.
"Alright. Until I collect the last 'thank you,' I will only do this one thing to you."
Shen Xi froze. By the time she snapped back to reality, she cried out, "That's still not allowed. You can't just kiss me whenever you want, we haven't..."
But before she could finish her sentence, the man had already strode out of the room and closed the door.
The next morning, Shen Xi's home was bustling with activity. Everyone woke up at seven o'clock, preparing to go watch the premiere movie at Naka Ming Cinema today.
After breakfast, everyone tidied themselves up. Shen Xi drove the three excited little ones and Yin Zhe to the cinema.
Naka Cinema was on the 5th floor of Yalongs International Plaza. Shen Xi drove her car to the underground parking lot and took the elevator directly to the cinema entrance.
The movie started at 9:30. Their tickets were bought online last night, and they could directly retrieve them from the ticket machine using their short numbers.
Shen Xi then went to buy some snacks and drinks for the children. The three children were very excited and ran around Yin Zhe in the lobby.
After buying the snacks, Shen Xi distributed them, and the children finally sat down more calmly.
Ten minutes later, the ticket checking finally began.
"A Zhe, here's one for you," Shen Xi handed a ticket to Yin Zhe and then led the three children ahead.
At that moment, someone called out from behind, "Yin Zhe."
The group couldn't help but look back and saw two boys of similar age to Yin Zhe standing not far from them, looking at Yin Zhe in surprise.
"Jiang Ming, Sun Bo. It's you."
Yin Zhe paused for a moment, quickly recognized them, and hurried out of the line. He turned back and said to Shen Xi, "Sister, my classmates. You guys go in first, I'll find you later."
Upon meeting, the three patted each other and burst into laughter.
Jiang Ming frowned suddenly and said, "Yin Zhe, where have you been all these years? Why haven't you contacted us?"
"Yes. Five years ago, when our classmates heard about your family's accident, they were all very worried about you, especially Teacher Xu, who was very sad for a long time," Sun Bo also said.
These two were his best friends in middle school.
"I was ill and was abroad. I only returned half a month ago," Yin Zhe's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness.
"Oh. So that's how it is." Jiang Ming glanced at the ticket checking gate. "Was that woman just now your sister? We heard that after your family's accident, your sister was also in a car accident and disappeared. Did you find her?"
Yin Zhe pondered for a moment before replying, "No. That's my cousin."
