"I was just trying to scare them, mother and son, to make them come back and beg me."
Yin Xi continued with a smile, "After these two treatments, a lot of the poison in Uncle's body has been expelled. It's normal for him to be disoriented occasionally.
I'll have Tang Ran send some detoxifying medicine to Qimeng tomorrow. Just follow the instructions on the label, and Uncle's body will slowly recover.
However, it might not be as fast as acupuncture."
"Okay. Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease." Jin Jingchen let out a long sigh.
At the Qin family's old mansion, as soon as Qin Si Ye entered the hall, Xu Zhi Lan, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at him with surprise.
"Si Ye, why are you back at this hour?"
"My dad said he had an urgent matter to discuss with me." Qin Si Ye's expression was gentle, "Where is he?"
"He might be in the study." Xu Zhi Lan replied with a smile, "Si Yue has already arranged to meet Han Hao Ming. This weekend, you, Xi Xi, and the children all have to come over."
"Okay." Qin Si Ye paused, "Xi Xi said she'll start coming over to give you acupuncture tomorrow."
"Oh. Acupuncture again." Xu Zhi Lan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Time flies by so quickly."
Walking into the study, Qin Si Ye had just closed the door when a book flew towards him.
He was quick-witted and reacted swiftly, extending his hand to catch it steadily.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"How dare you ask me that?" Qin Xiu Zhi glared at him coldly, "Qin Si Ye, tell me, why did you revoke Qi Qi's image endorsement?"
Walking up to him calmly, Qin Si Ye placed the book back in its original spot.
"Because I don't think she's suitable."
"How is she not suitable? You hired her yourselves.
Besides, whether it's her looks, temperament, or fame, Qi Qi is very suitable to endorse those necklaces. I think she's a perfect fit." Qin Xiu Zhi glared at him furiously.
Qin Si Ye suppressed his emotions with all his might and replied unhurriedly, "That's just your opinion. I don't think she's suitable."
He hadn't expected Meng Qi to pull this stunt, directly complaining to his father.
"It's not that you don't think she's suitable; it's that Yin Xi can't tolerate her, isn't it?" Qin Xiu Zhi said coldly,
"Si Ye, to please that woman, are you really willing to hurt a sister you grew up with?"
Qin Si Ye paused for a few seconds, his voice suddenly rising, "Every time she's appeared at the Qin family, she's targeted Yin Xi with her words. Her intentions are obvious and sinister.
Haven't you noticed?"
"But she's speaking the truth, and she's also concerned about you." Qin Xiu Zhi thought for a moment, but he didn't feel that Meng Qi had said anything excessive.
Qin Si Ye suddenly let out a cold laugh, pointing out the crux of the matter, "You like her, and you think she's perfect. You're not still hoping to set me up with her, are you?"
"Why not? At least Qi Qi is clean and doesn't have so many messy men around her."
Qin Xiu Zhi stared intently at him, "You probably don't know this, but during Yin Xi's five years in Country B, there was a man named Song Kai Cheng who took care of her.
I heard that man liked her very much, and they lived in the same villa. I don't believe nothing happened between them!"
"Your news is quite timely. It seems many people have been whispering in your ear."
Qin Si Ye's eyes darkened, "I have something to tell you too. Song Kai Cheng is Aunt Mei's nephew. Yin Xi was saved by him when she had her car accident back then.
Song Kai Cheng is Yin Xi's childhood neighbor. Yes, he does admire Yin Xi, but it's only admiration, and he never did anything out of line.
A while ago, I was on a business trip to Country B, and I resolved this matter. He agreed to let go and would only regard Yin Xi as a sister from now on."
He paused for a moment, and after a few seconds, he added, "During Yin Xi's five years in Country B, without Song Kai Cheng and Aunt Mei taking care of her, do you think you would see Chen Chen and the other two looking so healthy and strong?
Instead of being grateful, we now suspect them. Isn't that disheartening?"
After hearing his words, Qin Xiu Zhi's body trembled. Thinking of those three adorable little treasures, his heart ached.
"Fine. Even if what you say is true, and there's really nothing between Yin Xi and that Song Kai Cheng.
But you still can't revoke Qi Qi's endorsement for her.
Don't forget how much Uncle Meng and Aunt Liao doted on you when you were little.
Qi Qi is alone now, without a home. Can't you at least look out for her?"
