Shen Keqin didn't know how to face Lin Zhuyin. In the past, no matter how distant and cold Lin Zhuyin was, she had truly doted on Shen Keqin.
Although Shen Keqin's relationship with Lin Zhuyin wasn't as close as with Song Qinian, the two sisters-in-law had been very harmonious.
Lin Zhuyin had been married to Shen Liubai for seven years. Shen Keqin had already regarded her as family. The pain left in her heart after being betrayed by someone so close couldn't be erased by a few words or in a day or two.
She averted her gaze and was about to quickly leave when Lin Zhuyin suddenly called out to her, "Qinqin..."
Shen Keqin stopped but didn't look at Lin Zhuyin.
Thinking of how much her brother had lost weight and was heartbroken because of Lin Zhuyin, she couldn't face Lin Zhuyin with a calm heart.
"Why are you at the hospital? Is someone admitted?"
Shen Keqin tightened her grip on the bag and said coldly, "Is it any of your business?"
After that, without lingering, she directly entered Miao Zi'ai's ward.
Looking at the closed ward door, Lin Zhuyin's brows furrowed tightly. She made some inquiries.
Upon learning that the person admitted was not the one she was worried about, but a girl named Miao Zi'ai, she felt a slight sense of relief.
When she returned to her ward, Jian Mubai had already woken up.
Jian Mubai's injuries were too severe, coupled with the fever, he had been in and out of consciousness for the past two days, extremely weak.
"Was that just... Shen Keqin's voice?"
Lin Zhuyin nodded and placed the medicine she brought into the bedside cabinet drawer.
"Her friend, Miao Zi'ai, has a fractured tibia and is hospitalized. She's here to visit."
Jian Mubai looked at the wall. Shen Keqin was just on the other side of this wall.
Shen Keqin was the one who brought him to the hospital, but he hadn't seen her since he woke up.
Seeing his disheveled appearance, Lin Zhuyin poured him a glass of warm water. "Mubai, Qinqin is a rare and good girl. If you truly like her, don't miss her."
"Rare and good..."
Yes, in this world, there was only one Shen Keqin.
But how could he be worthy?
As if guessing what Jian Mubai was thinking, Lin Zhuyin sighed heavily.
For so many years, they had treated Shen Zhengcheng as an enemy, unaware that the real enemy was someone else. They were even manipulated by the enemy and almost caused great harm to Shen Zhengcheng.
Although the real enemies had been brought to justice, the things they had done over the years and the harm they had caused to others had not disappeared.
While it was true that ignorance was not a crime and they were also victims, many things that happened, happened.
The ward next door.
Shen Keqin's complexion was not good due to encountering Lin Zhuyin.
When Miao Zi'ai saw the Sunshine Rose grapes, her mouth began to water. Seeing that Shen Keqin was not in a good state, she immediately asked, "What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"
Shen Keqin shook her head, handed the Sunshine Roses to the caregiver. As the caregiver went to wash them, she sighed and couldn't help but tell Miao Zi'ai about Jian Mubai being in the next room.
Miao Zi'ai was so angry when she heard this that she almost exploded. Miao Zi'ai had long heard about Jian Mubai and Lin Zhuyin betraying the Shen family.
She had cursed them countless times behind their backs and never expected to run into them at the hospital.
"Qinqin, tell me, how do you want to deal with them? Just give the word, and I'll be your vanguard."
Shen Keqin: "... Eat your grapes. I have no intention of dealing with them."
"Ah? Your family is just letting them go? That's too easy for them."
Shen Keqin felt extremely annoyed.
The day Shen Zhengcheng was released, he had repeatedly instructed them not to trouble Lin Zhuyin and Jian Mubai.
Revenge breeds more revenge. Lin Zhuyin and the others were merely driven by a desire for revenge and were manipulated by someone with ulterior motives.
Moreover, Lin Zhuyin's father's suicide by jumping off a building couldn't be said to be entirely unrelated to Shen Zhengcheng.
The most important point was that Lin Zhuyin was the woman Shen Liubai had deeply loved, and Jian Mubai had protected Shen Keqin for so many years.
There were still deep emotional ties between them, making it impossible to simply seek revenge.
This was why they were conflicted and distressed.
"Knock knock knock..."
The ward door was suddenly knocked.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and Ye Jingqiu, dressed in a white coat and wearing black-rimmed glasses, entered.
He was followed by several doctors, seemingly for rounds.
Ye Jingqiu smiled at Shen Keqin, then walked to the bedside to examine Miao Zi'ai's leg. "How are you feeling today? Does it still hurt?"
"Much better, thank you, Dr. Ye."
"You're welcome, it's all part of my job."
As he was leaving after the examination, Ye Jingqiu leaned towards Shen Keqin and said with a smile, "Come to my office later."
Before Shen Keqin could react, he had already stepped back.
Seeing everyone's ambiguous gazes, Shen Keqin felt completely uneasy.
As soon as they left, Miao Zi'ai immediately took Shen Keqin's hand and asked, "Come here, come here. Hey, Qinqin, haven't you noticed? That Dr. Ye seems to really like you."
Shen Keqin slapped Miao Zi'ai's hand away. "Don't talk nonsense. We're just high school classmates."
"Who's talking nonsense? Last time you just sent him a WeChat message, and he ran over from the gym. Also... Every time you come to my ward, Dr. Ye seems to smell your scent and come over. If that's not liking you, what is?"
Before Shen Keqin could reply, she continued, "I heard this hospital belongs to Dr. Ye's family. His family has been doctors saving lives for generations. He's handsome, not to mention he's your high school classmate. Isn't this a perfect match?"
Shen Keqin: "... What perfect match? We're not in that kind of relationship."
"Then develop into that kind of relationship. I'm telling you, someone like Dr. Ye is a gem. You absolutely cannot miss him."
Shen Keqin felt very annoyed. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh, it doesn't matter if you don't know what I'm talking about. Now, take these Sunshine Roses to his office and say it's to thank him."
"I..."
"What 'I'? Hurry up and go!"
Miao Zi'ai shoved half of the Sunshine Roses into Shen Keqin's hand. If her leg could move, she would have personally escorted Shen Keqin to Ye Jingqiu's office.
Shen Keqin, who was kicked out of the ward: "..."
What is all this?
Suddenly, she sensed a gaze fixed on her. Her heart suddenly tightened.
"Qinqin..."
Hearing someone call her name, Shen Keqin subconsciously turned around and saw Ye Jingqiu with a smiling face.
Ye Jingqiu had returned after his rounds.
"Why are you standing here?"
Shen Keqin felt a bit awkward. "Heh heh... I brought some Sunshine Roses to give to your office. I ran into you here, so I'll give them to you now."
Ye Jingqiu looked flattered. "According to hospital regulations, we doctors cannot accept gifts from patients' families, but you are an exception..."
Ye Jingqiu took the bag from Shen Keqin's hand and smiled at her. "It's lunchtime. Would you like to have lunch together?"
Shen Keqin was about to refuse, but sensing that the intense gaze was still fixed on her, making her feel uneasy, she smiled and nodded. "Okay."
Ye Jingqiu's smile brightened. "Let's go."
Coincidentally, when the two were about to go downstairs, they had to pass by Jian Mubai's ward.
Ye Jingqiu seemed to have just noticed Jian Mubai and immediately walked towards him. "Mr. Jian, your leg injury is very serious. You just had a steel plate inserted. You cannot get out of bed, let alone walk. Otherwise, the bone that has just been fixed can easily dislocate. Go back and rest quickly. Where are your family members?"
