Shen Xi’s hand, raised halfway, slowly lowered, “I don’t want your compensation. But I have a condition. While Grandma is hospitalized, we cannot appear in her ward at the same time.”
Now that the deed was done, arguing about this matter was meaningless. The most important thing was to help Grandma recover her memory quickly and not continue to misunderstand.
If the two of them didn’t appear before her simultaneously, it wouldn’t spark her to think about their relationship, and the situation should improve.
“Alright. Whatever you say, I’ll cooperate with you in everything,” Qin Si Ye sat up straight with a face full of disappointment and started the car. “But I must take you back myself. Consider it my thanks to you.”
The next day, as soon as Shen Xi arrived at work, she informed the dean that outpatient services would be temporarily closed for the next two mornings. She needed to go to the inpatient department to perform acupuncture on patients.
Dean Bai already knew that Qin Si Ye’s grandmother was staying in the hospital and readily agreed.
In the morning, when Shen Xi was performing acupuncture on Xu Zhi Lan, Qin Si Ye did not appear as expected.
She thought that if Qin Si Ye wasn’t there, Xu Zhi Lan wouldn’t bring up those sensitive topics. However, her prediction was completely wrong.
Xu Zhi Lan talked a lot about Qin Si Ye with her and even asked some blush-inducing questions.
Fortunately, the caregiver was not present. Shen Xi looked around evasively and managed to get by with vague answers.
Afterward, she went to Lu Ying’s ward and performed the corresponding rehabilitation treatment on her. kanshu wu. xia
Qin Si Yue was busy and overwhelmed in the analysis room all morning, but her mind was on the two patients in the wards.
Finally, it was time to get off work. She rushed to the inpatient department, first going to Lu Ying’s ward and finding the caregiver tending to her meal.
She just went in to say hello, then took the elevator to Xu Zhi Lan’s VIP room.
Upon entering, she saw Shen Xi sitting at a round table eating with Xu Zhi Lan.
“Si Yue, you’re here at just the right time. I’ve already got your meal, come join us quickly.”
Qin Si Yue looked at everything in front of her with surprise, “Grandma, you can get out of bed already?”
“Yes. Grandma wasn’t too ill to begin with. I can be discharged tomorrow,” Shen Xi handed her chopsticks.
“Thank you,” Qin Si Yue accepted with a smile and sat down beside Xu Zhi Lan.
At this moment, Xu Zhi Lan suddenly turned her gaze to her, “Why are we being so polite as a family? It’s only right that your sister-in-law does these things for you. Isn’t that right, Xi Xi?”
“Ah?” Shen Xi’s heart skipped a beat. She hadn’t expected that one of her actions would lead her to think of this again, and she didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
Qin Si Yue, sensing her embarrassment, quickly changed the subject, “Sister Xi, after we finish eating, can I push Grandma downstairs for a walk?”
“Of course. Breathing in fresh air outside will help speed up your recovery,” Shen Xi replied immediately after making eye contact with her.
After the meal, Shen Xi returned to her office to rest, while Qin Si Yue pushed Xu Zhi Lan to the garden on the first floor for a stroll.
Not long after they started walking, they saw Han Hao Ming, dressed in a police uniform, approaching from a distance. Qin Si Yue’s voice abruptly stopped, and her gaze was fixed on him.
“Si Yue, what’s wrong?” Xu Zhi Lan felt the wheelchair stop and looked back at her in surprise, only to see her with a star-struck expression.
She then followed her gaze forward and, upon seeing a handsome young police officer, immediately understood everything.
Han Hao Ming’s steps faltered slightly when he saw them, but he quickly continued walking towards them.
“Greetings, esteemed elder lady.”
He had learned from his mother yesterday afternoon that Qin Si Yue’s grandmother was also hospitalized, so he guessed who the elder lady in front of him was.
“You are Han Hao Ming?” Xu Zhi Lan’s eyes were bright as she appraised him from head to toe, a smile on her face.
“Yes. Esteemed elder lady.” Han Hao Ming replied respectfully, stealing a glance at Qin Si Yue.
Meeting her piercing gaze, Qin Si Yue finally realized she had been staring at him and immediately lowered her head.
“Si Yue often mentions you to me, saying she knows a police friend,” Xu Zhi Lan continued with great delight. “Since you are friends, you can call me Grandma along with her. Calling me ‘esteemed elder lady’ is too distant.”
“This…” Han Hao Ming hadn’t expected that Madam Qin would indeed be as kind, open-minded, and amiable as Shen Xi had said.
However, he couldn’t bring himself to call her Grandma.
Just then, a middle-aged man’s voice called out from a distance, “Mom.”
