"Alright. Then let's not think about it anymore. I'll take you home first." Shen Xi's eyes were slightly red as she helped her off the bed and personally put on her shoes.
As the two slowly walked out of the room, the three people waiting outside looked at them simultaneously.
"Auntie." Song Kai Cheng hurried forward, supporting Mei Yun's arm.
Mei Yun glanced at the other two men in the room with surprise, her gaze lingering on Qin Xiu Yi's face.
Why was this man so casual, coming out in just a bathrobe?
"Auntie, you..." Song Kai Cheng was about to ask, but was suddenly interrupted by Shen Xi, "Let's go back."
The three left the room and slowly walked towards the elevator.
Qin Si Ye followed them out and, in his urgency, called out Shen Xi's name.
"Shen Xi."
Her steps faltered slightly. Shen Xi slowly turned around, nodding slightly at him with a complex gaze.
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Qin!"
However, Qin Si Ye detected a sarcastic undertone in her words.
He opened his mouth again and said, "Things are definitely not what you think they are."
Shen Xi remained silent and turned to follow Song Kai Cheng's footsteps.
A hint of gloom shadowed Qin Si Ye's eyes as he returned to the room, looking at Qin Xiu Yi with a cold gaze.
"Si Ye, why are you looking at me like that? I didn't do anything."
"I know. But why were you wearing a bathrobe and dressed so indecently, causing misunderstandings?" Qin Si Ye still believed in his uncle's character.
Although Mei Yun was good-looking, he knew his uncle would never take advantage of someone.
Qin Xiu Yi frowned, feeling wronged. "I rushed over as soon as I got your call. I didn't think about anything else."
"Sigh!" Qin Si Ye sighed and quickly walked out of the room.
On the other side, Song Kai Cheng was driving, his expression dark. Shen Xi sat in the back with Mei Yun.
Mei Yun's head still hurt slightly, and she leaned her head on Shen Xi's shoulder, not wanting to speak.
The car was silent. At that moment, Shen Xi received a WeChat message on her phone.
She opened it and saw a video sent by Qin Si Ye.
Attached was a message: This is what happened in the hall tonight. Watch it, and you'll understand everything.
Shen Xi paused and did not click on the video, placing her phone back into her bag.
Mei Yun was by her side, and she didn't want to open it in front of her, causing her discomfort.
"Brother Kai Cheng, can Aunt Mei stay at my place tonight?" Shen Xi looked down at Mei Yun, who had her eyes gently closed.
Song Kai Cheng hesitated for a moment before replying in a low voice, "Alright."
Upon returning to Hua Ban Li, Song Kai Cheng settled Mei Yun and then drove away.
Shen Xi, fearing Mei Yun might feel unwell, specifically arranged for her to stay in her own bedroom.
She found a set of pajamas, helped Mei Yun bathe, and after she had settled into bed, Shen Xi took her phone and walked into the washroom.
Quickly opening WeChat, Shen Xi watched the video Qin Si Ye had sent her from beginning to end, three times.
It turned out that someone had been harassing Mei Yun, and Qin Xiu Yi had intervened to save her.
She immediately forwarded the video to Song Kai Cheng.
Ten minutes later, Song Kai Cheng replied, "Did Qin Si Ye send you this video?"
Shen Xi did not conceal it. "Yes."
Song Kai Cheng said, "From the time Aunt Mei was carried away by Qin Xiu Yi until we arrived there, it was about an hour. They were the only two people in the room, and no one knows what happened."
Shen Xi was startled. She knew Song Kai Cheng would think in that direction. Her own mind was a mess, yet she felt that things couldn't be as he imagined.
"But... but when I went in, Aunt was sleeping neatly on the bed."
Song Kai Cheng replied, "What does that prove? For someone with intent, creating a false impression is very easy.
Don't worry about this matter for now. Get some rest."
Shen Xi's heart tightened, and she replied, "Brother Kai Cheng, perhaps things really aren't as you think. Let's wait until Aunt is sober tomorrow to discuss it."
She knew that Song Kai Cheng must be full of suspicion towards Qin Xiu Yi right now. All she could do was to stabilize him for the time being.
