The next day, after breakfast, Qin Si Ye went to the hospital first, while Yin Xi had already sent Shuo Shuo to Qi Meng.
The receptionist, Teacher Su, greeted them warmly, "Shuo Shuo's mother, you're here so early."
"Teacher Su, has Principal Jin arrived?" Yin Xi asked her with a smile.
"Not yet, he should be here soon. Shall I give him a call?" Teacher Su took out her phone and looked at Yin Xi.
Teacher Su had long guessed that Yin Xi's relationship with Jin Jing Chen was unusual; otherwise, she wouldn't have specifically emphasized during course selection yesterday that Shen Zi Shuo should be the first to choose.
"No. No need." Yin Xi quickly stopped her. "It's nothing important, I just wanted to chat with him for a moment. Perhaps I'll wait until I pick up the child later and find him then."
After speaking, Yin Xi whispered a few words to Shuo Shuo, handed him over to Teacher Su, and hurried away from Qi Meng, rushing to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the VIP room where Qin Xiu Zhi was staying, all the Qin family members, except for Xu Zhi Lan, were present. Even Mei Yun and Han Hao Ming had come.
"Xi Xi." As soon as Mei Yun saw her, she quickly stepped forward and affectionately held her hand.
"Auntie, you're all here." Yin Xi glanced at her, then her gaze swept over the others.
At this moment, Qin Xiu Zhi sat up straight in his hospital bed, "Yin Xi, quickly persuade them to leave. My condition isn't serious, why are so many people here?"
"Okay. Uncle." Yin Xi smiled at his evident trust in her. She then turned to everyone and said, "Uncle's condition is indeed not serious. You should all go back first. I'll stay and have a good chat with him."
After speaking, she winked at Qin Si Ye. Qin Si Ye immediately understood and, leading the others, quickly exited the room.
"Xi Xi, come and sit. Uncle has a lot to say to you alone." Qin Xiu Zhi beckoned her with a kind smile.
"Okay." Yin Xi noticed his address to her had become more intimate and happily walked over to sit beside him.
"Xi Xi, remember five years ago, when you first came to the Qin family with Si Ye, I was very pleased with you and hoped you and Si Ye would have a lasting union. Five years later, you transformed yourself into an international renowned doctor, appearing in the Qin family with a changed appearance, and I was still very optimistic about your relationship with Si Ye. But later..." Qin Xiu Zhi paused abruptly at this point and sighed deeply.
Yin Xi quickly said, "Uncle, what's past is past. Let's not mention it again."
"No. We must mention it." Qin Xiu Zhi frowned and continued, "I need you to understand my psychological changes and journey; otherwise, I will never forgive myself."
"Alright. Please, speak. I'm listening carefully." Yin Xi's expression was gentle, and she didn't stop him anymore. It seemed that to persuade him to cooperate with his treatment, she first had to resolve his inner turmoil.
"My attitude towards you began to change when I learned you had three children of 'unknown origin.' This was immediately followed by Su Cheng Yu's revelation of your past relationship with him, which was difficult for me to accept. Of course, my greatest rejection stemmed from knowing that Meng Qi had returned to the country. For a time, it reignited my hope for her relationship with Si Ye. But I never imagined that after not seeing each other for several years, Meng Qi would become such a ruthless woman. I was truly blind and possessed by demons, almost making a grave mistake. Fortunately, Si Ye's heart towards you remained steadfast and never wavered; otherwise, I would have wished to die."
"No, Uncle, please don't blame yourself. As a father, I completely understand your feelings." Seeing him like this, Yin Xi shook her head calmly. "Perhaps all of this was arranged by fate, a test of my and Si Ye's relationship. As the saying goes, evil can never triumph over good, and eventually, everyone reaps what they sow. After experiencing all this, my relationship with Si Ye has only grown stronger."
"Mm." Qin Xiu Zhi's eyes welled up with tears, and his voice was slightly choked, "Xi Xi, you are a good child. Uncle is sorry for you; you have suffered too much injustice."
