"I'm home. What's wrong?" Shen Xi heard the tremor in his voice and guessed that something bad had happened.
As expected, the next second, the man on the other end of the phone said anxiously, "Don't ask so many questions now. Grandma fainted. She's at the Qin family's old house. Prepare yourself. I'll have Steward Liu pick you up."
"Okay." Shen Xi immediately understood the seriousness of the situation. She only replied with one word, hung up the phone, and walked towards the bedroom.
Qin Si Ye put down his phone and turned to see Qin Xue Lan and Su Yi Xin weeping by Xu Zhi Lan's bedside.
"Mom, say something. Don't scare me."
"Grandma, please wake up."
Qin Si Ye felt extremely agitated, his brows furrowed. He said coldly, "All of you, get out."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xue Lan suddenly stood up straight and turned to look at him. "Si Ye, did you just call that woman? Your grandmother and father fainted because of that woman. How can you still believe her?"
"Shut up. Didn't you hear what I said?" Qin Si Ye sneered, his eyes looking at her coldly.
"You... How dare you speak to me like that? You are utterly disrespectful. No matter what, I am still your aunt." Qin Xue Lan trembled with anger and pointed at Qin Si Ye indignantly, scolding him.
"Grandma needs quiet." Qin Si Ye didn't want to argue with her here. He glanced at Qin Xiu Yi behind him, "Uncle, take these two out."
"Sister, let's go out first. Si Ye has already notified Shen Xi. As soon as she arrives, Mom will be fine." Qin Si Ye stepped forward and took her arm.
The last time Xu Zhi Lan had a similar episode, she was cured by Shen Xi.
"You believe that woman too?" Qin Xue Lan followed him out reluctantly, still shouting, "I still think we should call an ambulance and send Mom directly to the hospital..."
As Su Yi Xin helped her mother pass by Qin Si Ye, she felt the chilling aura emanating from him. She lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
The three returned to the living room, and many people crowded around to inquire about Xu Zhi Lan's condition. Qin Xiu Yi explained to them:
"Dr. Shen has been notified. She should be alright."
Someone from the Qin family asked in confusion, "You still believe her?"
"Yes, a woman like that shouldn't be allowed to step foot in the Qin family again."
"I think it's best to send Aunt directly to the hospital."
Mei Yun, who was standing on the side, immediately frowned when she heard this. "What are you saying? What do you mean by 'a woman like that'?"
Qin Xiu Yi quickly said to everyone, "Don't worry, Dr. Shen is highly skilled. The priority now is to wake my mother up. Besides, this is also Si Ye's decision."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt that what he said made sense. Hearing that it was Qin Si Ye's decision, they fell silent and said no more.
Qin Xiu Yi looked at He Xin Meng and Qiao Lu. Considering they had children with them, he asked them to leave first.
However, both refused and insisted on waiting until Xu Zhi Lan woke up.
Stepping away from the crowd, Qin Xiu Yi pulled Mei Yun's arm and walked towards the courtyard.
"Qin Xiu Yi, what are you doing? Let go of me." Mei Yun struggled forcefully but couldn't move him due to the disparity in strength.
Qin Xiu Yi pulled her all the way to a tree in the courtyard before letting go.
"Mei Yun, can you say less?"
"Didn't you hear that they are all targeting Xi Xi? It's as if she's not your niece, and you have no feelings about it." Mei Yun glared at him, angry about his behavior at the dinner table earlier.
"No. She will be part of the Qin family in the future. I've already decided that." Qin Xiu Yi looked at her with a melancholic gaze. "But I don't want you to get involved. Don't you think it's just making things worse?
Especially my sister, she's always been domineering and argues with anyone."
This was Mei Yun's first time visiting their home, and he didn't want Mei Yun to suffer any losses. The best way was for her not to get involved.
"Hmph, I'm not afraid of her. She's capable and domineering, but I'm not a pushover either." Mei Yun snorted, her whole body radiating hostility.
Qin Xiu Yi sighed, unsure how to persuade her, when he suddenly heard Steward Sun's voice from the main entrance.
"Dr. Shen, quickly, come in. Madam is in her bedroom."
"Okay." Shen Xi responded and then her figure appeared in the courtyard.
Upon seeing her, Mei Yun quickly walked towards her. "Xi Xi."
