Fu Hengyi smiled softly, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I will definitely do what I promised you.” He once promised her that he would not get hurt.
After Fu Hengyi left, Shen Qinglan suddenly felt that something was missing in her life. Apart from being in the hospital, she went home to sleep, not even going to the teahouse.
On this day, Shen Qinglan received a call from Yan Xi as soon as she walked out of the hospital. This girl had not contacted Shen Qinglan for a long time after moving out of Shang Yayuan.
“Yan Xi.”
“Sister.” Yan Xi’s clear voice came from the other end of the phone, “Sister, I have no classes this afternoon. Let’s go shopping.” It could be heard from the voice that Yan Xi was in a good mood.
Shen Qinglan thought for a while, agreed, and went to the garage to pick up the car to go to a better meeting place with Yan Xi.
“Sister, I missed you so much.” As soon as they met, Yan Xi hugged Shen Qinglan, and Shen Qinglan patted her shoulder.
After not seeing each other for a while, Yan Xi had lost a lot of weight. She was already thin, but looking like this now made people feel like she could be blown away by a gust of wind. Shen Qinglan frowned slightly, “Have you not eaten well recently?”
Yan Xi smiled sheepishly, “I’ve been too busy studying recently and haven’t been able to take care of myself, but big sister, this time I passed the monthly exam and I ranked among the top 50 in my grade, and I improved by more than 70 places.”
“Very good.” Shen Qinglan praised without hesitation, when Yan Xi heard this, the smile on her face became more and more satisfied.
“Sister, I haven’t gone shopping for a long time. Please accompany me to buy clothes today.” Yan Xi said with a smile.
Shen Qinglan hadn’t seen such an energetic Yan Xi for a long time. She smiled and nodded, “Let’s go.”
Yan Xi bought a lot of things and only walked halfway, and Yan Xi’s hands were already full, even Shen Qinglan was carrying a few bags in her hands.
“Sister, I’m so tired. Let’s take a rest.” Yan Xi couldn’t walk anymore. Shen Qinglan looked at her helplessly. Women were really scary creatures. No matter what age a woman was, as long as she entered the mall and started buying things, it was like it didn’t cost money.
Yan Xi looked pitiful, and Shen Qinglan compromised, “Let’s go, there’s a dessert shop ahead, let’s go in and have a rest.”
Yan Xi immediately beamed.
“Yan Xi.” Someone called Yan Xi’s name. Shen Qinglan and Yan Xi stopped and looked at the person who made the call.
It was a woman, about thirty years old. She was wearing a cheongsam and had on exquisite makeup. She had the air of a Jiangnan woman.
When Yan Xi saw this woman, she was confused at first, then her face changed, and her eyes changed as she looked at the woman, “Sister, let’s go.”
Shen Qinglan glanced at her doubtfully and followed Yan Xi’s footsteps, but the woman walked up to them quickly, “Yan Xi, wait for me.”
Yan Xi looked at the woman in front of her with a cold face, “What on earth do you want from me?”
The woman seemed helpless in the face of Yan Xi’s cold words, “Yan Xi, I just saw you, so I came to say hello to you without any malice.”
“Now that the hello is over, can I leave?”
The woman rubbed her brows, “Yan Xi, you have misunderstood me too much.”
“I have no misunderstanding about you. Now I am leaving, please get out of the way.”
The woman did not give up and stood in front of Yan Xi. “Yan Xi, your parents’ affairs really have nothing to do with me. When I returned to Nancheng this time, I just wanted to come back to my hometown for a visit. I didn’t want to destroy anyone’s family. Moreover, now that I am married and have a husband who loves me very much and who I love very much, even if I really was with your father, it all happened in the past.”
Shen Qinglan looked sideways at the woman in front of her. She already knew who this woman was. If she guessed correctly, she should be Qin Mu’s biological mother – Qin Yan.
If you looked carefully, you could find that Qin Mu actually looked more like her mother. Qin Mu’s shadow could be seen between Qin Yan’s eyebrows. Looking at Qin Yan, a flash of pain flashed across Shen Qinglan’s eyes, which disappeared in an instant.
Yan Xi didn’t feel happy after hearing Qin Yan’s words. Instead she was very angry, “Then should I praise you for your charm? Even if you are married, just by showing up you broke my happy family.”
Qin Yan’s face looked a little ugly, but there was no attack. The eyes with which she looked at Yan Xi were full of tolerance, like looking at a wayward child, “Yan Xi, no matter what, I don’t have any ill intentions towards you. You may believe it or not, that’s your choice.”
She turned to look at Shen Qinglan and smiled apologetically, “You are Yan Xi’s friend, I’m sorry to disturb you. I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.”
Shen Qinglan looked cold and did not respond to her words. Then, Qin Yan turned and left, but as soon as she turned around, the smile on her face fell, and her eyes turned sad.
Shen Qinglan looked at the woman whose back was exuding sadness, thought of something, and looked away, “Let’s go.”
Yan Xi put away the tit-for-tat when she saw the woman, her mood was very low, and she followed Shen Qinglan silently. Behind her, the excitement she had just now was gone.
Shen Qinglan ordered a glass of juice for her. Yan Xi sat silently and Shen Qinglan didn’t ask her.
“Sister, I don’t want to go shopping later.” Yan Xi spoke in a low voice.
“Well, I’ll take you back to school later.”
Yan Xi didn’t object and just nodded.
After Shen Qinglan sent Yan Xi back to school, she went to Shang Yayuan. Jin Enxi was at home, but Sisli didn’t know where she had gone. “Ann, why are you here?”
“I came to see you for something.”
Jin Enxi was confused. “What’s the matter?”
“Qin Yan.” Shen Qinglan said a name, “Qin Mu’s mother.”
Jin Enxi understood and said, “It seems that Qin Yan left Nancheng after Qin Mu was lost. I don’t know where she went. The people who went to investigate could not find her whereabouts. She returned to Nancheng some time ago and came back with a man. That man was said to be her husband.”
Shen Qinglan paused slightly, “You just said that Qin Yan left Nancheng. Her whereabouts can no longer be found?”
“Yes, it’s strange, isn’t it? I also felt very strange when I saw the information at the time. I checked with people repeatedly and found no trace of her. However, it is said that she left Nancheng, she seemed to have had a mental problem at that time and gone crazy.”
Shen Qinglan recalled the scene when she saw Qin Yan today. It didn’t look like she had a mental problem, but why did she come to Yan Xi?
Unable to figure this out, Shen Qinglan temporarily put it behind her.
“By the way Ann, let me tell you something interesting.” Jin Enxi said with interest, “Your adopted sister has fallen in love with a rich man and is now active in the circle again. The man seems to want to flatter her.”
Shen Qinglan said “Oh?”, and Jin Enxi continued, “Weren’t there people on the Internet who trolled her before? Unexpectedly, this has increased her reputation a lot, and she is also capable of climbing into a man, and he is even the son of the owner of a listed company. I have forgotten his name, but I don’t know what tricks she used. This man treats her very well, and the news on the Internet has also been suppressed by him.”
Shen Qinglan frowned slightly, she had been very busy recently. She was so busy that she didn’t have time to care about Li Xitong’s affairs. Unexpectedly, she turned over.
“Hehe.” Jin Enxi smiled wickedly, “You don’t know, there was a big drama going on in the meantime. The man wanted to marry Li Xitong, but Li Xitong’s biological parents, younger brother and sister-in-law came to the door and opened their mouths. They wanted a gift of 10 million yuan and a house, so the man kicked them out angrily, and even wanted to break up with Li Xitong. It was probably because Li Xitong is good in bed and coaxed that person well that she could continue to keep that man around, otherwise there might be another good show here.” There was a regret in her tone that she didn’t see the good show.
Shen Qinglan was not surprised at all by this. It could be seen from the fact that the Li family couple could marry their two daughters to others at will, that they were not a good bunch. Last time Li Xitong was injured and hospitalized. Although she claimed that she fell by herself, but according to the scene she saw, it was most likely the Li family who had beaten her.
“You don’t need to pay too much attention to her affairs, just keep an eye on her occasionally.” It was not that Shen Qinglan looked down on Li Xitong, it was that she really didn’t have the intelligence to cause big trouble.
Jin Enxi nodded and started playing with her pile of instruments again. Ever since Leng Qingqiu’s identity was exposed, Daniel went directly to Jiangxin Yayuan to get her paintings, and Yan Xi didn’t live here either. This place seemed to have become Jin Enxi’s. In her personal base, her “baby” could be seen everywhere in the living room and all other rooms.
“Ann, why are you looking at me like this?” Jin Enxi met Shen Qinglan’s gaze, which was very confusing.
“Do you still have the tracker you gave Eden last time?” Shen Qinglan asked.
Jin Enxi nodded, “Yes, yes, do you want it?”
“Yes.”
“But it has a shortcoming. Although it is small, easy to carry, and not easy to be detected by other instruments, the contact range is very small. The devices can only sense each other within a distance of two hundred meters.”
“It’s okay, prepare one for me, I can use it.”
“Okay, I’ll modify it for you so that it won’t attract so much attention when you wear it.” Jin Enxi said, “By the way, do you want to give it away or use it yourself? If you want to give it away, is it a man or a woman?”
“I will keep one for myself and one for Fu Hengyi.”
Jin Enxi made an OK gesture, “Okay. I know, I will give it to you in a few days, I guarantee it will be beautiful.”
Shen Qinglan didn’t care about the appearance, as long as it was powerful, but she did not expect that a random move now would help her so much in the future.
“Okay, if there is nothing else, I’ll leave first.” Shen Qinglan planned to go back, and Jin Enxi nodded.
