Ming Xue, panting in the video, said, "Sister, should I bring Ran Ran with me tonight? Otherwise, she'll definitely kill me!"
Qin He chuckled, closed the video, and replied, "Okay, be safe!"
She hadn't expected Gu Ran Ran to care about her so much. Qin He's expression softened.
Because of this matter, she hadn't visited Grandma Gu for a while and missed her.
She decided to make time to see Grandma Gu tomorrow.
The dinner location was set at a hotel under the Qin Corporation. At seven in the evening, Qin He called Xu Wan Wan and Shen Yi Lin to accompany her.
Qin Yun had been holding a press conference at the Qin Corporation all afternoon, quelling the recent online rumors.
Upon arriving at the hotel, he encountered Qin He and Xu Wan Wan.
"Brother," Qin He called out cheerfully.
Qin Yun smiled, "He'er."
Immediately, Qin Yun saw Xu Wan Wan getting out of the car behind Qin He, and his expression shifted slightly, becoming colder.
Qin He frowned and whispered to Qin Yun, "Brother, you're being too hurtful!"
Qin Yun clenched his fist, his expression stern, and didn't even glance at Xu Wan Wan.
"A quick pain is better than a long one."
"I think you've both been in pain for quite a while. Why torture each other like this!" Qin He said angrily through gritted teeth.
As someone who knew the situation, she really wanted to explain it to Xu Wan Wan.
But Qin Yun disagreed, so she had to respect her brother's wishes.
Qin Yun then saw Shen Yi Lin and his demeanor softened considerably. "Yi Lin is here."
Shen Yi Lin replied obediently, "Big Brother."
Qin He raised an eyebrow slightly.
Qin Yun had always been polite yet distant towards Shen Yi Lin, but now he was much more cordial.
What had happened while she was sick?
The group entered a private room at the hotel. Qin He thought she had arrived half an hour early, but upon entering the room, she discovered that almost everyone else had already arrived.
Yin Zi, sitting on the sofa, immediately stood up. Lu Ming Xi strode over. As Qin He smiled, about to greet him, she was pulled into a hug.
"Little Kitten, you scared me to death!"
Qin Yun immediately pried Lu Ming Xi's arm off. "Let go of my sister! I'm right here!"
Xu Wan Wan, standing nearby, subtly turned her head and glanced silently at Shen Yi Lin.
Seeing Shen Yi Lin's expression darken, she raised an eyebrow slightly.
Qin He greeted everyone. Zhou Yang, Qin Yun's assistant, was aware of the details and wasn't worried, just sitting there with a joyful expression.
Yin Zi's face was flushed. "Qin He, it's wonderful that you're alright."
She didn't have any unnecessary pleasantries, but her excited expression showed how worried she had been.
After comforting Yin Zi, Qin He looked at Ming Xue and Gu Ran Ran. Ming Xue, being in the know, was fine, but Gu Ran Ran was glaring fiercely at her.
Qin He smiled. "Ran Ran, Ming Xue told me you were very worried about me. Thank you."
Gu Ran Ran bit her lip. "It's good that you've recovered!" she said, then turned her face away and snorted.
Qin He now understood the girl's awkward personality well. She turned to look at a corner.
To her surprise, Shen Yi Cong was there.
"Mr. Shen," Qin He said with a smile to Shen Yi Cong. "You've just recovered from a serious illness, why aren't you resting more?"
Although Shen Yi Cong was sitting in the corner, his aura was undeniable.
Shen Yi Lin said, "My brother heard that Sister had recovered and insisted on coming to see her."
Qin He's eyes held a glint. Both brothers had handsome and outstanding appearances.
However, Shen Yi Lin gave off a feeling of spring breeze and harmlessness.
But Shen Yi Cong made her sense a deep sense of danger. Shen Yi Cong stood up, his demeanor elegant and proper.
"Miss Qin is an benefactor of our Shen family. Now that you've been discharged from the hospital, of course I have to visit."
With that, he took a box from his pocket and handed it to Qin He. "This is a get-well gift for you, wishing you peace and health after this ordeal."
Qin He smiled and accepted it.
She always felt that Shen Yi Cong's temperament was like a rich lotus hidden beneath leaves, making him inscrutable and inexplicably dangerous to her.
Shen Yi Cong was not a simple man, but that had nothing to do with her.
Qin He quickly greeted the others.
She hadn't invited many people today, and soon, more guests arrived.
Zhou Yang opened the door. Qian Zi Mo and Zuo Xiu Xian entered, smiling. "Qin He."
Qin He was somewhat surprised and looked at Di Shi Shi, who had a sly smile on her face.
Mo and the scoundrel always kept a low profile, so Qin He hadn't expected them to come.
Mo, being the young master of Jiang City, naturally knew Qin He, the young lady of Qing City's Qin family. But Zuo Xiu Xian was different.
Qin Yun didn't know the two and sensed they were unusual. He quietly asked Xu Wan Wan beside him, "Are these two He'er's friends?"
Xu Wan Wan shot Qin Yun a look and said coldly, "If you, her own brother, don't know, why should I?"
Qin Yun pursed his lips. He had unconsciously asked Xu Wan Wan. After being retorted, he realized he was sitting too close to her and got up to move.
Qin He invited everyone to sit down, and they chatted at the dining table for a while.
Zhou Yang walked over to Qin Yun and whispered, "Mr. Qin, it's time. Can we start serving the food?"
"Mm."
Qin He looked at the table and felt a sense of intricate dynamics.
The atmosphere between Qin Yun and Xu Wan Wan was tense. Shen Yi Cong seemed very interested in Zuo Xiu Xian, and the two were chatting intermittently.
Di Shi Shi still remembered Qian Zi Mo's previous trick and was dedicated to exchanging barbs with him.
Only Ming Xue and Gu Ran Ran were chatting in low voices. Yin Zi and Shen Yi Lin occasionally chatted with Qin He. The two naive children were completely unaware of the atmosphere at the table.
Lu Ming Xi, being too astute, kept fanning the flames.
"Miss Di, before you became He'er's assistant, were you Qian Shao's assistant? You seem very familiar."
Qian Zi Mo smiled gently. "I couldn't afford an assistant like Miss Di."
Di Shi Shi immediately retorted, "Qian Shao is known for his frailty in Jiang City. Being an assistant to Qian Shao, I'm afraid I wouldn't last a few years."
With that, she smiled. "Oh dear, I hope Qian Shao doesn't mind me saying that."
Qian Zi Mo sneered. "Miss Di, please rest assured, this isn't ancient times. The boss won't make the assistant be buried with him if they die."
Xu Wan Wan was reaching for the wine on the table when Qin Yun's long arm stretched out and pushed the bottle further away.
Xu Wan Wan glared.
Qin Yun said with a calm expression, "Your drinking habits aren't good, drink less."
"What does my drinking habit have to do with you?" Xu Wan Wan gritted her teeth in anger.
Ming Xue and Gu Ran Ran were still discussing in low voices.
"I think this bag is nice," Gu Ran Ran said, scrolling through her phone.
Ming Xue glanced at the price and commented, "It's too ugly. The bright yellow is so garish, people will think you're about to ascend the throne."
