After hanging up the phone, Yin Xi turned to Xu Zhilan and said, "Grandma, there's an urgent matter at Xinglin Pharmacy that I need to attend to."
"Alright. Go quickly," Xu Zhilan said with a kind smile. "No matter what happens, don't rush. Drive slowly on the road."
"Okay. Grandma, I'll remember that." Yin Xi picked up her bag and was about to leave when she saw Sister Fang coming down the stairs and winking at her.
Yin Xi immediately understood that she had successfully retrieved what she wanted and quickly signaled her to the courtyard.
Taking a small bag from her, Yin Xi glanced at it and said, "Sister Fang, thank you, and well done."
"Miss Yin, please don't..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Jiang Jie and Qin Si Yu walking in from the main gate with grim expressions. She hurriedly reminded Yin Xi, changing her words, "Madam, Second Young Master, you're back."
Yin Xi's heart skipped a beat. She immediately put the bag into her purse, adjusted herself slightly, and then turned to face them with a calm and composed demeanor.
Seeing her there, the two across from her were taken aback and stopped in their tracks.
Yin Xi met their gaze for a few seconds, not intending to greet them. Just as she was about to walk away, Jiang Jie, out of character, smiled and spoke first.
"Yin Xi, you're here to see your grandma, aren't you?"
She then glanced at Yin Xi's handbag. "Are you leaving already? Why not stay for dinner. Sister Fang, hurry and prepare something."
Yin Xi looked down at her watch. It was only three in the afternoon, what dinner was she talking about?
Wasn't she clearly trying to make conversation and show off her status as the lady of the house?
"No, it's still early. I have important matters to attend to."
At this moment, Jiang Jie nudged her son. "Si Yu, why aren't you greeting someone when you see them? You're getting older and more ill-mannered."
The veiled words were clearly aimed at Yin Xi.
Being so intelligent, she understood immediately.
Her expression remained calm and unfazed.
Did she want her to call her Aunt Jiang?
Impossible. If Qin Si Ye didn't call her that, she certainly wouldn't.
Qin Si Yu remembered their past conflicts and forced himself to call out to her, "Sister Xi."
With an unreadable expression, Yin Xi politely replied with a single word, "Mm."
Hearing this, Jiang Jie said again, "Si Yu, how can you call her Sister Xi? You should call her Sister-in-law. Didn't I tell you? Your father has already agreed to your brother's marriage with her."
Upon hearing this, Qin Si Yu changed his address, "Sis—"
Before he could finish the second syllable, Yin Xi abruptly interrupted him, "Don't call me that yet. It's not too late to change your address on the wedding day."
With that, she gracefully bypassed them and walked towards the main gate.
She didn't have time to idle away chatting with them. She needed to call Qin Si Ye back quickly.
She had hung up so abruptly earlier. If she didn't call him back quickly to explain, that man would probably get anxious again.
As for Qin Si Yu's "Sister-in-law," she didn't want to accept it right now.
She didn't know how things would develop later. Perhaps he wouldn't even be qualified to call her Sister-in-law.
Getting into the car, Yin Xi quickly took out her phone and dialed Qin Si Ye's number.
As soon as the call connected, the man's displeased voice came through, "Xi Xi, why did you hang up on me in such a hurry just now? Where are you now?"
"I'm at the Qin family's old residence. Grandma was nearby," Yin Xi replied in a low voice, glancing towards the Qin family's main gate.
"What? Why did you suddenly go there? Grandma doesn't need acupuncture these days." Qin Si Ye's voice was filled with confusion.
"It's nothing. I was just worried about Grandma's emotional state and came to check on her," Yin Xi replied nonchalantly, then changed the subject. "You said earlier that Uncle's pathology report is out, and it's confirmed as invasive lung cancer?"
