In the live stream, Li Han was wearing a high-end silk shirt, and the burgundy designer high heels she was wearing were the same ones that He Qinqin had been eyeing recently.
He Qinqin looked at Li Han like this, lowered her eyelashes to hide the jealousy and hatred in her eyes.
However, thinking about the chaotic situation that Li Han would face later, He Qinqin calmed down a bit.
He Qinqin listened to the excited screams of the fans below the stage when Li Han appeared, watched Li Han calmly answer the fans' questions, witnessed the fans' eyes turn from liking to admiration for Li Han, and saw wave after wave of praise in the live broadcast room...
He Qinqin stared at the screen for half an hour, and even after an hour and a half had passed and the fan meeting host said goodbye to the audience in front of the camera, she still hadn't seen what she wanted to see.
Where are Li Han's adoptive parents?
Didn't Shi Yao arrange everything? Shouldn't Li Han's adoptive parents have rushed onto the stage at the fan meeting and called Li Han an ungrateful and unfilial daughter?
The screen displays that the live stream has ended.
He Qinqin felt a chill run down her spine.
Anger welled up in her chest, making He Qinqin feel tightness in her chest and shortness of breath. Had her plan failed?!
He Qinqin immediately dialed Shi Yao's number. Shi Yao's panicked voice came from the other end of the phone: "Qinqin, I think I've been deceived. I can't find Li Han's adoptive parents now."
"They don't answer the phone when we call them."
When her hopes were dashed, He Qinqin's lips drooped.
Just then, she suddenly felt a strong discomfort in her stomach, and He Qinqin rushed to the bathroom, vomiting.
He Qinqin leaned against the sink, but nothing came out; her chest was still filled with nausea.
He Qinqin suddenly realized something, and she quickly went to her calendar to record the date of her last menstrual period.
He Qinqin opened her eyes wide.
She returned to her hospital bed, completely stunned.
"Knock knock knock—"
Just then, there was a knock on He Qinqin's door, and a nurse led in an elderly woman who was using a cane.
"Aunt Ling?" He Qinqin's eyes flashed with surprise when she saw the person who came to see her.
"Qinqin." Aunt Ling affectionately called her patient Qinqin by her name: "I heard you were hospitalized, so I came to see you. After all, I watched you grow up, and I've long considered you my granddaughter."
In the Si family, He Qinqin's favorite person was Aunt Ling.
She would help me keep my secret meetings with Shi Yao from Si Jiuyin, and she would even help Shi Yao deliver love letters to me.
Moreover, she also knew that Aunt Ling had saved her life when she was little.
"You've been eating very bland food these past few days in the hospital, haven't you?"
Aunt Ling placed the lunchbox and snacks she had brought with her on He Qinqin's bedside table. "My poor little darling."
Aunt Ling patted He Qinqin's head: "I'm getting old, and although I can't help you much, you can still tell me if you feel unwell anywhere."
He Qinqin obediently replied, "Yes."
"Auntie, I heard you injured your tailbone. How about I give you a rehabilitation massage now?"
He Qinqin was moved to tears by Aunt Ling's words. During her hospital stay, besides Shi Yao, only Aunt Ling came to visit her. The Si family members were truly heartless.
He Qinqin nodded: "Okay."
After Aunt Ling helped He Qinqin with rehabilitation therapy, He Qinqin felt that her discomfort had lessened considerably.
"Thank you, Aunt Ling." He Qinqin looked at Aunt Ling with teary eyes.
"Good child, this is all Aunt Ling can do for you."
Aunt Ling smiled and said, "But you wait here patiently. You'll be going back to the Si family soon. When you get back, you must be obedient and behave well. Don't make your mother angry again, okay?"
Hearing Aunt Ling's words, He Qinqin was overjoyed, "Really?"
"Don't you believe what Aunt Ling says? When has Aunt Ling ever lied to you?" Aunt Ling patted He Qinqin's shoulder.
"I'm relieved to see that you're much better. I'll come see you again another day."
Aunt Ling picked up her white cane to leave, but He Qinqin suddenly grabbed her.
"Aunt Ling, could you bring me something next time you come?"
He Qinqin stood up and leaned close to Aunt Ling, whispering something to her.
Aunt Ling's hand holding the white cane trembled.
He Qinqin looked pitiful and said, "Aunt Ling, you've always loved me the most since I was little."
"Okay, okay, I'll bring it over tomorrow."
Aunt Ling stepped out of the ward, her expression complex.
*
Aunt Ling returned to the Si family's large apartment.
"Did you visit Qinqin today?" Si Jiuyin put down the fashion magazine in her hand.
Aunt Ling nodded: "I have already sent food to Qinqin as you instructed."
She asked, puzzled, "If you care about Qinqin, why don't you go see for yourself?"
Si Jiuyin gave a wry smile: "I'm afraid I won't be able to control my emotions if I see her..."
She thought to herself that if she saw that face, she wouldn't be able to calmly carry out the rest of her plan.
Besides, it would be more interesting to let Aunt Ling go see He Qinqin.
Si Jiuyin, who had always felt something was wrong, secretly took Aunt Ling's hair and He Qinqin's hair, which was given to her by a nurse at the hospital, to an institution for testing a few days ago.
The test results showed that the two were related by blood.
*
Two weeks later, He Qinqin was able to be discharged from the hospital.
The nurse who was observing He Qinqin noticed that He Qinqin had become increasingly silent these days, often staring blankly out the window.
On the day she was discharged from the hospital, Si Jin came to pick her up.
He Qinqin looked pale at this time, but she was much better than before she was hospitalized.
Si Jin was puzzled. Although he hadn't listened to his mother and hadn't let He Qinqin stay in a VIP ward, he hadn't skimped on He Qinqin's food. So why was her complexion recovering so slowly?
Upon seeing He Qinqin again, Si Jin's expression was complicated. "I've been busy with things at the group these days and haven't had time to come over."
He Qinqin pursed her dry lips, thinking that Si Jin was just making excuses, but she obediently said, "Brother, you're busy with work, you don't need to come."
Si Jin raised an eyebrow in surprise upon hearing He Qinqin's words; he hadn't seen He Qinqin so docile in a long time.
"I've come to take you home."
He Qinqin was overjoyed. "I can really go back to the Si family? Mom forgave me?"
But then she shook her head: "I am guilty, I am so wrong, I don't deserve to go back."
"You can just leave me to fend for myself."
She lowered her head, her voice muffled.
"Anyway, I'm not a child of your Si family."
He Qinqin's repeated confessions saddened Si Jin.
"Qinqin." He was about to say something to comfort He Qinqin when the phone rang.
"President, someone has reported that the Si Group is evading taxes and falsifying its financial statements!"
"It's causing quite a stir online right now."
Si Jin remained calm and composed: "I'll go back right away."
He felt a wave of fear wash over him.
Fortunately, my mother took swift and decisive action, and the corrupt elements within the group have now been purged. Those who should have been sent to jail have been sent, all the taxes owed have been paid, and the accounts are now clear.
He was in a hurry to go back because he wanted to find out who had obtained the problematic internal report from before and then leaked the news now that the Si Group was thriving.
