The photo was taken from a very specific angle. Guo Shaofeng looked at the pictures of the two of them holding hands and embracing, looking incredibly intimate. Enraged, she threw her phone.
"Yu Xiuxiu, you vixen! You're still seducing men at your age!"
And Qi Lin, you really haven't gotten over her!
No wonder you brought up divorce as soon as you got back. You truly want to rekindle your old flame with Yu Xiuxiu!
But she wouldn't let them have their way!
Yu Xiuxiu, you couldn't beat me when you were young, and you won't now either!
However, this wasn't what angered her the most.
"Grandma, something's wrong! Please, quickly talk to Grandpa. He's giving the land parcel in the Fourth Ring Road to Yu Xianyi Clinic." Qi Suilin rushed back and said.
"What!" Guo Shaofeng straightened up. "Is there proof?"
"I just found out from the lawyer. Grandpa met with the lawyer this morning and had them draft a deed of gift for the land parcel. He should be on his way to Yu Xianyi Clinic by now."
As Qi Suilin spoke, he quickly opened his phone and showed her the electronic version of the contract the lawyer had sent.
Guo Shaofeng put on her reading glasses and scanned the contract. Especially when she saw that the land was being gifted for free, along with the development rights, her face turned as dark as ink, her chest heaving with anger.
She hadn't even agreed to the divorce yet! And Qi Lin was already rushing to transfer the Qi family's assets!
"Grandma, you need to come with me to Yu Xianyi Clinic now and stop them from signing." Qi Suilin said.
How could he let the Qi family's assets be given away for nothing, and to Yu He at that!
But he also knew that if he went alone, he wouldn't be able to convince Grandpa. Only Grandma could intimidate Grandpa.
Guo Shaofeng took a deep breath and suddenly became calm. "Don't panic. It's the Qi family's property. No one can take it away! Yu Xiuxiu, you mistress, even if you take it, I'll make you spit it all out!"
Qi Suilin instantly understood.
If Grandpa truly gifted them the land, Grandma, as the legal wife, had the right to demand it back from the mistress!
Guo Shaofeng asked a servant to pick up her phone and called a paparazzo. "Keep following those two. I want more pictures!"
Yu Xiuxiu, this is you forcing my hand!

Meanwhile, at Yu Xianyi Clinic.
Not long after Qi Lin left, a low-key black minivan stopped in front of the clinic. It was Qin Yonghui arriving with Qin Xinyao. She wanted to avoid being discovered by the media, so she was being very discreet this time.
"Ya'er, you don't need to take that thermos," Qin Yonghui said as Qin Xinyao got out of the car holding a thermos bottle.
Aunt Yao, worried that Qin Xinyao would eat mud again, had given him some flour to play with. The thermos bottle contained the flour he had been playing with all morning, wrapped into what looked like "dumplings" no different from wontons.
When he heard that Qin Yonghui was taking him to see Yu He, he immediately found a thermos bottle, put some "dumplings" in it, and insisted on giving it to the pretty sister who had saved him yesterday.
"No! These are the dumplings I made for the pretty sister. They're a gift to thank the pretty sister for saving me." Qin Xinyao hugged the thermos bottle tightly as if it were precious.
Qin Yonghui was helpless, hoping Yu He wouldn't mind when she saw it.
The two of them got out of the car and walked towards the clinic's lobby.
Qin Xinyao, like a child who had never seen the world, clutched his thermos bottle and looked around, actually looking for any cameras.
"Hello, may I ask for the registration number? And the patient's name," Qiao Wei asked formally.
"Number 9 for the afternoon, patient is Qin Xinyao. We have an appointment with the anonymous divine doctor," Qin Yonghui said.
"Please wait here for a moment," Qiao Wei said, leading them to a reception room next to the consultation room, as Yu He had instructed him.
At this moment, Yu He was sitting at the dining table in the west wing, tasting the freshly made Qingtuanzi by Qin Beiting.
The mugwort leaves were bitter, but Qin Beiting had mixed the mugwort leaves and flour in the right proportion, kneaded it perfectly, leaving only the aroma of mugwort, not bitterness; the sesame and peanut filling inside was fragrant, and the sugar was just right.
One bite, and the outside was glutinous, the inside crispy and fragrant. It was surprisingly tastier than the Qingtuanzi he had ordered flown in from the south.
She used to prefer savory Qingtuanzi because the sweet ones often had too much sugar and became cloying, making her not want to eat a second one.
Now, her opinion had changed.
"How is it?" Qin Beiting leaned on the table, watching her as she gently bit into a Qingtuanzi, savoring it.
Yu He nodded, "It's good. If you lose your job in the future, you could open a restaurant."
She meant it sincerely. His cooking skills were excellent and had perfectly captured her taste.
"I can, but you don't have to wait until I lose my job. I can open one now," Qin Beiting said, straightening up and adjusting his apron. He struck a waiter's pose. "My restaurant serves only you."
Yu He's heart skipped a beat, and the Qingtuanzi in her hand suddenly seemed even sweeter.
"Miss Yu, what do you think of our new product? Is it delicious? Do you like it?" Qin Beiting continued his performance.
Playing along, Yu He nodded, "Delicious, I like it."
"So, is it because I made it well, or because Mo Chao's mother made it well?" Qin Beiting seized the opportunity to ask.
"........."
Yu He suddenly suspected that all this preamble was just to ask this one question.
"Hmm? Is it that hard to judge?" Seeing her silence, Qin Beiting raised an eyebrow.
Yu He saw his serious expression. If she were to honestly say that their flavors were distinct, he would probably get jealous again.
So, she pursed her lips and said, "You made it."
Qin Beiting was finally satisfied and said, "I think so too. Since you think her cooking isn't good, just throw away the rest in the fridge. I'll make it for you from now on."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was already by the refrigerator. He took out the Qingtuanzi that Mo Chao had brought for Yu He earlier and hadn't finished, and threw it into the trash can.
Yu He: "........."
Has this man's possessiveness become a bit excessive lately?!
"Yu He, the Qin family is here," Qiao Wei said as he entered.
Qin Beiting frowned upon hearing this.
Yu He immediately put down the Qingtuanzi in her hand and was about to get up, but Qin Beiting pressed her shoulder. "Finish eating before you go."
Then, he said to Qiao Wei, "Make them wait."
"..."
Yu He had no choice but to quickly finish the rest of the Qingtuanzi and looked at him, "Are we good now?"
Seeing her rushing to leave, with sesame filling on her lips, Qin Beiting reminded her with slight displeasure, "Your mouth is dirty."
Yu He, eager to see Qin Xinyao and find out what clues he might bring, absentmindedly took a tissue, wiped her mouth haphazardly, and stood up to leave.
"It's not completely clean," Qin Beiting said, stopping her.
Yu He handed him the tissue in her hand. "Where is it? You wipe it for me."
Qin Beiting lifted her chin and kissed her directly, ravaging her lips before finally kissing away the sesame seeds on her mouth. Only then did he let Yu He go.
