"They know, and with the arrow already on the string, they have no choice but to fight. They can't run away."
Yin Xi sat in the boss's chair, turned halfway around, and chuckled softly.
"I don't want to wear that mask anymore. I want to be a legitimate businesswoman in the sun, competing with them fairly and letting them 'die' knowing why."
"You have a point. Alright, I support you. They used conspiracy back then, and now we'll use open strategies. We can still defeat them." Xie Yifei's pupils contracted slightly.
"Yes," Yin Xi smiled and continued, "Yifei, there's something I want to discuss with you."
"What is it? Tell me."
"The three children might not be able to return to Hua Ban Li for a while, and Ah Zhe has nothing much to do at home. I was thinking of having him come over to be your assistant and gain some experience."
"That would be wonderful. I remember you telling me that Ah Zhe is studying International Business Management, so it's a perfect opportunity for him to intern here. I can also learn from him."
"His practical skills are definitely not as good as yours, so you two can learn from each other. However, he'll only be here for two or three weeks; school will start soon after."
"Okay, no problem. Every day counts."
As they were chatting, Yin Xi's phone on the desk rang. She picked it up and saw it was Qin Si Ye.
Her eyes held a hint of surprise. Didn't he say they would talk tonight?
Why was he calling her now?
Slowly sliding to answer, Yin Xi spoke first, "Hello?"
"Where are you now?" came the man's stiff voice from the other end of the line.
Yin Xi's heart sank. He was calling her now and even skipped the greeting.
The sense of unfamiliarity and distance could be felt even through the phone.
"I'm at the pharmaceutical company," Yin Xi replied faintly.
The man's voice held a trace of anxiety. "Then hurry to the hospital. Grandma has been transferred to a regular ward and wants to see you immediately."
"Ah? Oh. Okay." Yin Xi hung up the phone, grabbed her bag, and walked out.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Xie Yifei stepped forward, asking with concern.
Yin Xi replied, "Nothing. Grandma has woken up and wants to see me."
Hearing this, Xie Yifei, recalling how Su Chengyu had pressured her that day, grabbed her arm with worry.
"Xixi, why don't I go with you? Su Chengyu knows me too, and I can help you expose him face-to-face."
"No need. Yifei," Yin Xi patted her bag. "Don't worry, the evidence is all here. If they dare to trouble me again, I'll make sure Su Chengyu reveals his true colors in public and is humiliated."
When Yin Xi rushed to the VIP ward in the cardiology department, the doorway was filled with Qin family members, and of course, the Su mother and son were also there.
Mei Yun was also present.
"Xixi, you're here." As soon as Mei Yun saw her, she quickly walked forward.
"Aunt, when did you arrive?" Yin Xi took Mei Yun's hand and asked with a gentle expression.
Mei Yun linked her arm and walked towards the crowd. "We just arrived not long ago. The nurses are still inside, and we're not allowed in yet, so we have to wait outside for a while."
At this moment, Qin Xuelan suddenly emerged from the crowd, exclaiming, "Why is this woman here? Who let her in?"
Mei Yun's anger flared upon hearing this, and just as she was about to retort, Yin Xi patted her hand, took out her phone, and chuckled.
"Half an hour ago, Qin Si Ye called me and asked me to come over, saying Grandma wanted to see me. If you doubt it, you can call him directly to ask."
As soon as she said this, Qin Xuelan immediately backed down. She shot Yin Xi a fierce glare and said no more.
She wasn't foolish enough to call Qin Si Ye to verify this matter.
Given Qin Si Ye's usual indifferent attitude towards her, asking him would yield no benefit, regardless of whether it was true or not.
Su Chengyu, leaning against the wall, heard Yin Xi's composed voice and instinctively straightened up, looking towards her.
Yin Xi glanced at him dismissively and turned her face away.
At that moment, the room door was opened from the inside, and several nurses walked out. One of them said,
"The patient has only recently regained consciousness and is still very weak. When you go in to see her, please keep your voices down and absolutely do not agitate her.
Yin Xi? Which one is Yin Xi? Please come to the front. The patient wants to see you the most right now."
