"Okay," Xie Yifei's bright eyes darted back and forth. "Xixi, you don't suspect there's something fishy with Ningpu Biotech's medicine, do you?"
"Companies with such ill intentions, what wouldn't they do?" Yin Xi replied thoughtfully.
She then turned to look at Yin Zhe, patting his shoulder with pride. "Ah Zhe, you're amazing. Perhaps you've helped us out a lot this time."
"Sister, it's nothing. There's still so much I need to learn," Yin Zhe said, blushing slightly from her praise and scratching his head.
Yin Xi smiled. "It's good to be so humble. Keep up the good work."
Back in the general manager's office, Xie Yifei followed her in and asked, "Xixi, you're living at Star Blue Bay again. How is Qin Si Ye treating you? Did Meng Qi's matter cause any obstacles for you two?"
"Not yet. Our issues mostly stem from five years ago. Qin Si Ye can't accept it all at once, and I'm working on repairing things." Yin Xi paused, then continued, "That Meng Qi is just a female cousin to him. They grew up together, and his grandmother seems to like her quite a bit."
Hearing this, Xie Yifei immediately stepped forward, her face etched with concern. "So, they're childhood sweethearts? Xixi, you can't let your guard down. Even if Qin Si Ye has no romantic interest in her, it doesn't mean she doesn't have feelings for him. These childhood sweetheart relationships are often the ones that cause the most trouble. Plus, she's beautiful and charming, an international movie star with a successful career abroad. But why would she suddenly return? We have to be cautious."
After hearing her words, Yin Xi recalled the way that woman looked at Qin Si Ye in Xu Zhilan's hospital room a few days ago, and the jealous remarks she made. It was indeed abnormal. It seemed she really needed to pay attention to this matter.
"Okay. I know. I'll be careful," Yin Xi replied after a moment of thought.
"One more thing," Xie Yifei added. "When do you and Mr. Ren, the one you asked me to contact, plan to meet him?"
Yin Xi thought for a moment. "Grandma is still hospitalized, and Qin Si Ye is very busy lately. Let's talk about it in a few days." She wanted to handle this after her family matters were settled and wanted Qin Si Ye to make the final decision.
In the evening, Yin Xi saw that Qin Si Ye wasn't home for dinner. She thought she'd make him a late-night snack when he returned, perhaps earning her some "good behavior" stars. However, Butler Liu informed her that Qin Si Ye had gone on a business trip.
Friday was the day Xu Zhilan was discharged from the hospital. Almost all the Qin family members went to the hospital to pick her up, and Qin Si Ye also returned on time. Xu Zhilan scanned the crowd, feeling a hint of disappointment at not seeing Qin Xuelan and Su Chengyu. She then remembered she was the one who had said she didn't want to see them last time. She couldn't help but ask Su Yixin, "Yixin, what have your mother and your brother been busy with at home lately?"
"The Su Group has been very busy recently. My brother goes to work as usual every day. My mother stays at home, tending to her flowers and vegetables, and sometimes reading," Su Yixin replied earnestly, after a slight initial surprise.
"That's good. I hope they've learned their lesson from the last incident and will behave themselves and do what they're supposed to do," Xu Zhilan sighed softly.
"Yes. Grandma, please don't worry, I'll relay your words to them," Su Yixin said.
Xu Zhilan nodded, then her gaze fell on Qin Si Ye. "Si Ye, why aren't Xixi and the three little ones here?"
"Grandma, she's taking Shuoshuo to his Rubik's Cube class. We'll pick them up later and go back to the old house to see you," Qin Si Ye replied with a gentle expression. Qin Si Ye had wanted to bring her to live at Star Blue Bay after her discharge, but she absolutely refused. She said she didn't want to disturb their family of five and insisted on returning to the Qin family's old residence. She only asked them to visit her frequently with the children. Qin Si Ye had no choice but to agree and also arranged for Qin Si Yue to move back. This way, he could look after her.
"Okay." Mentioning Yin Xi and the three children brought a smile to Xu Zhilan's face. She then turned to her eldest son. "Xiuzhi, quickly tell Butler Sun to arrange for the kitchen to prepare more dishes. Let's have a good family gathering today."
Qin Xiuzhi, hearing that Yin Xi would also be there, seemed unhappy and remained silent for a moment. Jiang Jie, seeing this, quickly chimed in, "Mom, I already instructed Butler Sun this morning."
