He couldn't help but curve his lips upon hearing this, "You're quite good at winning people over."
Just then, Yin Xi's phone suddenly rang. It was Chen Ying, the store manager from Xinglin Pharmacy.
"Hello? Ms. Yin, could you come over now? Tang Ran's family is here and they're asking for you."
"Looking for me? What for?" Yin Xi was slightly startled, not immediately reacting.
Wasn't Tang Ran taking care of Jin Jingchen in the hospital? Why would her family show up at the pharmacy?
Chen Ying replied softly over the phone, "Two ladies from her family came, very aggressive. They said Tang Ran hasn't been home for days and demanded we hand her over immediately or they'd call the police. I'm not too clear about Tang Ran's situation, so please come and explain it to them in person."
Huh? How could this happen? Had Tang Ran's arrangement to care for Jin Jingchen not been properly communicated to her family?
"Alright. Please calm them down, I'll be there soon." Yin Xi immediately hung up the phone and said to Qin Si Ye, "There's something urgent at the pharmacy, I need to go handle it."
From her tone of voice, Qin Si Ye could tell that the matter was quite pressing. He asked with some concern, "Do you need me to send some people over?"
"No need. It's just about Tang Ran's situation, her family has some questions, and I'll go explain it." Yin Xi didn't hide anything, quickly poured him a glass of water, and handed it to him. "If you're tired of sitting, you can rest on the bed for a while. I'll be back soon."
Thirty minutes later, as Yin Xi walked into Xinglin Pharmacy, she could faintly hear several women's voices from the reception hall on the first floor.
"Store Manager Chen, when our Tang Ran applied for a job, she was aiming for this position at Xinglin Pharmacy. How could you arbitrarily assign her to work elsewhere?"
"Yes. Our Tang Ran has just started working and is very inexperienced. You can't just move her around like this. What you're doing is a violation of the Contract Law."
"Ladies, please don't worry. I believe Ms. Yin must have obtained Tang Ran's consent to do this. I'm not too clear about this matter, I only know that Tang Ran has been reassigned to work elsewhere by Ms. Yin. Ms. Yin should be here any moment, and she will surely give you a reasonable explanation."
"Hmph. If she can't give us a satisfactory explanation today, then we'll call the police immediately. Although our Tang family isn't a wealthy magnate in City K, we still have a certain status and are not to be trifled with."
"That's right, I'm her sister-in-law, and this is her elder sister. Anyone who dares to harm our Xiao Ran will have to get past us first."
Upon hearing this, Yin Xi quickly pushed open the door and walked in, saying with a smile, "Ladies, you're overthinking things, how could we..."
When she clearly saw the faces of the two women in front of her, her voice abruptly stopped.
"Tang Le's mother, Geng Han's mother, it turns out it's you."
Tang Le's mother and Geng Han's mother slowly stood up and looked at the woman entering through the door, their faces blank. Who was she? How did she know the names of their children? Did they know each other before? Both women quickly searched their memories, but still had no impression. In their memories, they didn't recall ever meeting such a beautiful woman.
"Ms. Yin, you're here. So you know each other, then this will be easier to discuss," Chen Ying said, smiling at them.
Tang Le's mother and Geng Han's mother exchanged glances. They never expected the owner of Xinglin Pharmacy to be such a young and beautiful woman.
Seeing that they still showed no reaction, Yin Xi immediately and warmly took their arms and led them towards the second floor.
"It's normal that you don't recognize me. Come, let's go to my office on the second floor, and after I tell you the truth, you'll know who I am."
Seeing her so enthusiastic and sincere, the two women didn't refuse and involuntarily followed her to the office on the second floor.
After listening to Yin Xi's explanation, both women's eyes widened, and they stood up from the sofa in unison. Geng Han's mother, being more straightforward, spoke first, "No way? This is too unbelievable, you're actually Shen Zi Shuo's mother."
"Yes, Zi Shuo's mom, we'd never recognize you in your current state, even if we were beaten to death," Geng Le's mother also frowned and said.
