Chapter 496 Ups and Downs
He said, "Yes, tell me if you're not feeling well."
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Yes, sir."
Wenren Chen lowered his eyes to look at the documents, while Zhou Yi looked at the documents on the coffee table; there were still quite a few.
She couldn't let her husband worry anymore, so after talking with her brother, she lay down to rest.
Thinking about it, Zhou Yi looked away from her phone.
Upon checking, she discovered that Qin Shi had replied to her; the latest message was in the chat box.
Did Sun Huilan come to see you?
A straightforward sentence caught Zhou Yi's eye, and instantly, the phone call she received before coming to the old house flashed through her mind.
Sun Huilan's phone call.
With her lips slightly pursed, Zhou Yi opened the reply and typed.
A short while later, a message was sent.
After Qin Shi sent the message, he held his phone and waited. Not long after, his phone rang.
A new message appeared in the chat box.
She called me yesterday, before I even went to the old house. She apologized, saying that she and Zhou Jianye were wrong about what happened before, and she hoped I would forgive her. I didn't want to talk to her. I told her she wasn't my mother, and Zhou Jianye wasn't my father, and I told her not to come looking for me again.
"Brother, did she contact you too?"
Immediately afterward, another message came into view.
Qin Shi looked at the two messages, especially when he saw "she called her," his face turned icy cold.
Type with your fingertip and send a message.
Zhou Yi held her phone, looking at the two messages she had sent.
She hadn't told her brother about Sun Huilan's phone call yesterday; she would have forgotten about it if he hadn't asked.
But now, it's obvious that Sun Huilan contacted her brother because he hung up on her yesterday?
Her mind was racing, and before Qin Shi could reply, Zhou Yi was about to send a message, but just as she was about to type it in, Qin Shi's message came back.
[Change your phone number. Don't let her know where you are or what you're doing. Don't let your relatives back home know either. I'll call your aunt to explain. Don't come back to the rented apartment.]
This was the first time Qin Shi had sent such a long message. After reading it, Zhou Yi replied: [Okay, I'll call Auntie and tell her not to tell Sun Huilan anything about me.]
Qin Shi: [You don't need to fight, I'll do it.]
Looking at his reply, Zhou Yi thought for a moment, and then obediently replied with "Okay".
Sun Huilan went to see her brother. She didn't know what they talked about, but her brother's meaning was clear: he didn't want Sun Huilan to find him and didn't want her to be disturbed.
This is exactly what I want.
Sun Huilan's persistent pursuit of her must mean something is wrong.
Thinking it over, Zhou Yi lowered her head and sent a message to Qin Shi.
In the taxi, Qin Shi replied to Zhou Yi and then dialed Li Jiahong's number.
Just then, Li Jiahong had finished preparing lunch and was about to get her bowl and chopsticks to eat.
Her phone rang. She wiped her hands and picked up her bowl and chopsticks while checking who was calling.
"Qin Shi?"
Li Jiahong was taken aback when she saw the name on the screen.
This kid is very nice. He has a good relationship with Zhou Yi, but he rarely calls. In the past, they could only meet once a year during holidays.
What's the matter that he's calling now?
Li Jiahong was puzzled, so she put down her chopsticks and answered the phone directly: "Qin Shi."
A familiar voice came from the phone, and Qin Shi said, "Third Aunt, there's something I want to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiahong's expression immediately turned serious: "Speak, Third Aunt is listening."
"Well, it's like this..."
Over the phone, Qin Shi explained the situation in detail and instructed her not to reveal anything about Zhou Yi and Xu Fengzhen, especially not to let Sun Huilan and Zhou Jianye know.
After listening to him, Li Jiahong said solemnly, "I understand what you've said. I won't tell anyone, and I don't know anything about it either."
“You live so far away, how would your aunt know about your affairs as young people, right?”
Qin Shi said, "Thank you, Third Aunt."
Li Jiahong immediately said, "What are you saying, child?"
"You all work hard outside, earn money, and take good care of your health. If you do these things well, your aunt will be at ease."
Qin Shi said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Yi Yi and Grandma."
Hearing this, Li Jiahong felt relieved and said with a smile, "Okay, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"No, that's all. You're busy."
"Okay, Auntie has just finished cooking. I'm going to eat. If you and Yiyi need anything, just call Auntie anytime and I'll take care of it!"
The coldness in Qin Shi's eyes softened: "Thank you, Third Aunt."
"Heh heh, this child, he's just talking nonsense!"
"Alright, that's all for now. Auntie's hanging up. Call me anytime if you need anything!"
"it is good."
Li Jiahong hung up the phone, and Qin Shi only picked up the phone after hearing the busy tone.
At that moment, a message appeared in the middle of the screen.
As he looked at the name of the letter writer, warmth spread through his eyes, dispelling all the chill.
Tap the message with your fingertip.
[Brother, is something wrong with Sun Huilan? Did she tell you why she wanted to see me?]
The words of obvious tension and unease caught Qin Shi's eye, and a cold glint flashed across his glasses.
He replied: "Ignore her, just do as I say."
Zhou Yi held her phone, her brows furrowed, her eyes filled with unease. But as soon as Qin Shi sent her this message, the heaviness in her heart vanished in an instant.
Yes, don't worry about Sun Huilan. As long as she, her grandmother, and her brother are all well, everything will be fine.
Sun Huilan is looking for her now, but she can't find her, she can't find her grandmother, and her relatives in her hometown don't know where she and her grandmother are either. So what is she worried about?
No need.
Zhou Yi relaxed completely and replied: 【Okay.】
The car moved forward silently. Qin Shi sat in the car, looking at the obedient response. After a while, he sent a message.
Zhou Yi relaxed, and her whole demeanor changed, as if all the dark clouds had dissipated and the sun was shining brightly.
She smiled as she looked out the window at the bright sky, a smile spreading across her lips, then picked up her phone to check the time.
She was stunned to see that Qin Shi had sent another message.
[Yiyi, let's meet up sometime.]
Zhou Yi paused for a few seconds after reading this, then understood Qin Shi's meaning. She replied, "Brother, I'll ask for leave from Mr. Qin once things have stabilized here."
My brother didn't ask much about my trip to Rongshi to see the traditional Chinese medicine doctor, but he was still worried.
Because the gentleman was so considerate and kind, it made his already distrust of him even stronger.
She understands.
Qin Shi: [Okay.]
Looking at this character, Zhou Yi's lips curled up.
She replied: "Brother, I'll call you when I have time."
Qin Shi: [Okay.]
Zhou Yi's smile widened, covering her entire face and even her eyebrows and eyes.
Wenren Chen sat on the sofa, leaning back with his legs crossed.
He held the documents, gazing at the person laughing happily on the bed, his eyes deep and unfathomable...
