"No. Xiuzhi is like this now, how dare I let him see it? I'm afraid he'll be stimulated again if he sees it."
Jiang Jie frowned, recalling the news reports, and felt a flicker of secret delight.
If Shen Xi were to become infamous, Qin Si Ye would likely have to reconsider and would not be so insistent on continuing their relationship.
Even if he didn't care himself, he had to consider the entire Zhuo Sheng conglomerate.
If this affected Zhuo Sheng's stock and future development, the losses would be enormous.
At worst, it could even cost him his position as CEO.
"I've already asked the doctor. My brother just has a minor cerebral hemorrhage. It's not a big problem."
Qin Xue Lan took her hand and whispered in her ear, "This is a critical moment. We must magnify this matter and bring my brother completely to our side if we want to defeat them.
Do you want to see Mei Yun and Shen Xi marry into the Qin family together and step all over you?"
"Of course, I don't want to." A sinister glint immediately appeared in Jiang Jie's eyes. "Xue Lan, there's something I need to tell you. Shen Xi, she's Yin Xi's cousin."
So, she told Qin Xue Lan everything she had learned from her son.
"What? She's Yin Xi's cousin? No wonder Si Ye looked at her differently from the start." Qin Xue Lan's venomous eyes darted back and forth a few times.
"This means she really came with an agenda. Therefore, we should join forces and absolutely cannot let that cunning woman marry into the Qin family.
Come, I'll go talk to my brother."
As the two pushed open the door, Qin Xiu Zhi had just woken up from a nap.
"Brother, how are you feeling?"
"Much better. My head doesn't feel dizzy anymore." Qin Xiu Zhi looked at the fruit basket in her hand, a smile playing on his lips.
"Oh. That's good." Qin Xue Lan handed the fruit to Jiang Jie and pulled a chair to sit beside Qin Xiu Zhi.
They chatted and laughed, discussing everyday matters.
They looked like siblings with a deep affection for each other.
Seeing that the time was right, Qin Xue Lan slowly took out her phone, flipped through it casually, and suddenly exclaimed,
"Oh my goodness! Isn't that Dr. Shen? Why is she on the news, and with a child standing beside her?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jie also quickly walked behind her and said in surprise, "It really is. This looks like some competition venue. Questionable character? Love child? How could they even report these things?"
Qin Xiu Zhi, who was lying in bed, could initially remain calm upon hearing the name "Shen Xi." However, when he heard Jiang Jie's words, he began to fidget.
With a stern expression, he reached out to Qin Xue Lan and said, "Let me see, what have they reported?"
"Brother, with your condition, you really shouldn't look? The language used is quite unpleasant." Qin Xue Lan held her phone away, deliberately withholding it from him.
However, the more she did this, the more curious Qin Xiu Zhi became.
In the end, he sat up straight and snatched her phone.
He stared intently, reading the content word by word, his face growing darker. When he saw Shuo Shuo's photo, a flicker of light appeared in his eyes.
But it only lasted a few seconds before his expression turned cold again. It wasn't until he finished reading the comments below that he slowly put down the phone.
His eyes were filled with a chilling coldness, and his body trembled slightly, his breathing becoming rapid.
"That unfilial son, why… why is he going against me? A woman with such questionable character absolutely… absolutely cannot marry into the Qin family."
"Brother, calm down. I told you not to look, but you insisted." Qin Xue Lan quickly stood up and gently patted his chest.
"If I don't look, does that mean this matter didn't… didn't happen? Now, Shen Xi is completely infamous in K City. If someone with an agenda investigates, they can easily… easily trace it back to our Qin family."
After saying this, Qin Xiu Zhi suddenly erupted into a violent coughing fit.
Startled, Jiang Jie rushed over to help him gently pat his back.
Only she and the three children knew about Qin Xiu Zhi's lung nodules.
"Xiu Zhi, don't get too agitated. We'll discuss everything when you're recovered."
"Yes. Brother, you're not well right now. Even if Si Ye likes Shen Xi that much, he won't be able to bring her into the family anytime soon.
You should calm down now, recuperate, and then you'll have the energy to stop this.
Neither Xue Lan nor I approve of their relationship. Don't worry, we'll stand by you."
After listening to Qin Xue Lan's words, Qin Xiu Zhi took a few deep breaths, and his complexion slowly improved.
