After hearing Qin Si Ye's account, Shen Xi felt a mix of emotions.
There was gratitude, guilt, and even a touch of being moved.
He had refused to reveal the conversation between him and his uncle in front of the police, yet he had called her to this room alone to tell her everything.
How could she not be touched by such trust and candor?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin. We were too hasty and went too far. I apologize to you on behalf of Kai Cheng ge for putting you in such a difficult position just now."
With that, Shen Xi lowered her head to him, expressing her deep apologies.
Hearing the words "Kai Cheng ge," Qin Si Ye's expression instantly turned cold. "I already said that the fault is not yours. You don't need to do this."
He abruptly stood up from the sofa and strode towards the door.
"Mr. Qin..."
Shen Xi had a bad feeling and quickly stood up, trying to call him back, but the man left resolutely without looking back.
Mei Yun sat in the car, looking out the window with a dark expression. After a while, she turned to look at Song Kai Cheng, who was silent in front of her.
"Kai Cheng, you've always been calm in your actions. What's wrong today? Why were you so impulsive? You actually called the police before the matter was clarified. If that President Qin hadn't been so magnanimous and not held it against us, how would we have resolved it?"
"Auntie, I... I lost my mind when I thought you might have been taken advantage of," Song Kai Cheng admitted with a trace of regret.
"Alas!" Mei Yun sighed and then asked, "I'm not worried about President Qin. But his nephew seems very angry. Who is he? And why does he know Xi Xi?"
Song Kai Cheng replied hesitantly, "He's Xi Xi's fake boyfriend from five years ago. Now Xi Xi is his specially appointed doctor and is treating his grandmother."
Upon hearing this, Mei Yun looked surprised. "Oh? No wonder they are so familiar with each other."
As soon as she finished speaking, her phone rang. Mei Yun took it out and saw it was Tao Min.
"A Min, you and Shu He are too inconsiderate. You saw me drunk last night and didn't help me. How could you let a stranger carry me away?" Mei Yun questioned her sternly as soon as she answered the call.
Tao Min replied timidly, "You don't know how shocking the hero saving the beauty was last night. Moreover, that Qin Xiu Yi is not only handsome, rich, and talented but also single. We wanted to create an opportunity for you two."
"Create what opportunity? We almost ended up in the police station," Mei Yun said irritably.
By not stopping this last night and sending her bag to the front desk, they had, in a sense, fanned the flames.
Fortunately, that Qin Xiu Yi was a gentleman. Otherwise, she, being so drunk, would have lost her virtue.
She really had poor friends.
"Ah? What? The police station? What happened?" Tao Min's voice changed when she heard this.
She never expected things to become so serious. If she had known, she wouldn't have listened to Gao Shu He's advice and would have stepped forward to stop Qin Xiu Yi.
"It's very complicated. I'm very upset now and don't want to talk about it." Mei Yun's mind was in a mess, and she didn't want to say another word.
Tao Min hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, A Yun. We definitely didn't mean to harm you. We really wanted to set you up and create an opportunity. Shu He said that Qin Xiu Yi, despite his outwardly unrestrained demeanor, is a very sincere and kind person at heart."
"Alright, don't say anymore. Hang up." Mei Yun's eyes were weary, and she didn't want to hear her speak any further.
In the afternoon, Shen Xi went to work at the hospital as usual, but she was restless and uneasy, constantly worried that Qin Si Ye would take action against Song Kai Cheng.
As expected, around four o'clock, Dean Bai summoned her to his office.
"Doctor Shen, I've called you here to tell you something important, something concerning Kai Cheng. I hope you can help him." Bai Yong Jun got straight to the point as soon as Shen Xi entered.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xi was slightly startled and asked nervously, "Okay. Please tell me, what exactly happened?"
"President Qin said that he believes Kai Cheng... Kai Cheng has character issues and is unwilling to be a shareholder of the hospital with him. It's either Kai Cheng leaves, or he will continue to acquire Ankang."
