Upon hearing this, Aunt Ling earnestly advised, "I watched Qinqin grow up. How bad could she be?"
"Besides, she went to great lengths to find out about the problems with the ingredients, and even braved the heavy rain and her injuries to report to you. Isn't that enough to prove her remorse?"
Si Jiuyin's face showed a thoughtful expression, as if she had been persuaded by Aunt Ling, and she became even more conflicted.
"If you're hesitant, why not let Qinqin go back to the Si family for a while and see if her attitude changes, or if she's truly repented?"
Aunt Ling looked fair and genuinely seemed to be thinking of Si Jiuyin's best interests.
After a long silence, Si Jiuyin said, "I'll think about it."
She hasn't found any evidence that Aunt Ling did anything wrong yet. Aunt Ling cares about He Qinqin so much, maybe putting the two of them back together will have a surprising effect.
It would be best if we could completely uncover the secrets behind Aunt Ling.

Saturday noon, at the Li Han fan meeting.
On a rare sunny winter day, the meet-and-greet was held in an open-air venue.
The Si Group sponsored this fan meeting.
The five-star Lianwu Hotel, owned by the Si family.
Chairs were set up on the lawn, and hotel staff were preparing desserts and fruits for Li Han's fans.
The fan meeting was scheduled to start at 3 p.m. At that time, the venue was not yet open, and only internal staff wearing permits were conducting the event.
Zhao Jiao stood in the hotel corridor, watching through the glass as people came and went, setting up the scene.
The Si family chose to hold the event on an open lawn, making it easier to get things done.
Si Jiuyin and Li Han were riding high, and they probably never imagined that Li Han's adoptive parents, who had disappeared for almost twenty years, would come knocking on their door at this time.
When He Qinqin and Shi Yao approached Zhao Jiao for cooperation, Zhao Jiao wasn't surprised. Now that Li Han was a common enemy, there was nothing wrong with temporarily forming an alliance.
Everyone was just using each other, and she was happy with the situation that followed.
And the twelfth floor of the Lotus Apple Hotel.
After Li Han's adoptive parents finished their lunch, they changed into the designer clothes that the kind young man had given them.
Right now, they are waiting in the VIP room prepared by the young man for Li Han's fan meeting to start downstairs.
The young man said he would arrange for the couple to meet Li Han at her social event to formally recognize each other, thus binding them tightly to Li Han.
"This VIP lounge has floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views. Wow, I heard it also has some kind of privacy protection feature. We can see the scenery outside the window, but people outside the window can't see us."
Xiao Zilu looked enviously at the activity area being set up on the lawn downstairs, "That brat Li Zhaodi is so lucky."
The couple's simple-minded son peeked out the window, grinning foolishly, "So lucky!"
Li Dayu held a cup of white tea, watching the skit playing on the ultra-high-definition screen, feeling extremely comfortable.
"These past two days have been really comfortable."
“That’s right, we have everything we need.” Xiao Zilu was happily filming a short video with the phone the young man had given her. “Once we’re officially related to that ingrate Li Zhaodi today, we’ll be living this comfortable life from now on.”
Just as the two were dreaming of becoming rich and powerful, the door to the VIP lounge opened from the outside.
Si Jiuyin's special assistant, Tang Yu, walked in, wearing high heels. "We've finally been waiting for you two."
"I was just wondering where you were, and you delivered yourselves to my door."
Tang Yu was followed by a dozen or so bodyguards, making it seem like they were about to gang up on her.
Li Dayu and Xiao Zilu sensed something was wrong, but the exit was already blocked by bodyguards.
They quickly turned on their phones, trying to contact the outside world, but both of their high-end phones had lost signal.
"What are you doing?!"
The two became flustered, blinded by the magnificence before them, and only now realized the danger.
"We live in a society governed by law!"
"Don't panic, we haven't done anything yet."
Tang Yu smiled and crossed her arms. "We also follow the rules."
"Now that you're here, things will be easier. It'll be good to have another person to help Li Han."
Tang Yu said into the walkie-talkie, "Bring the person up."
Outside the VIP lounge.
Driver Xiao Liu waited outside with Li Han. Tang Yu's voice came through the walkie-talkie. Driver Xiao Liu said to Li Han, "Miss, it's time to test your acting skills."
Emotions surged in Li Han's eyes: "Don't worry, I've used all my acting skills today."
"That'll scare those two scumbags to death."
The door to the VIP lounge opened.
Two tall, burly bodyguards in black dragged Li Han into the VIP room. By this time, Li Han's face was covered in tears.
The bodyguard roughly threw her onto the carpet, and Li Han rolled around in a disheveled state.
She doesn't look like the daughter of the Si Group at all.
When she looked up and saw Li Dayu and Xiao Zilu, a look of surprise flashed across her face.
She scrambled over as if she'd found a lifeline, grabbing tightly onto Li Dayu and his wife: "Dad! Mom! Are you here to pay off my debts? That's wonderful!"
Li Dayu and Xiao Zilu's already lighthearted mood turned even colder.
W-what, paying off debts?!
Didn't this brat hook up with a rich guy?
Li Han was in tears, hysterical and frantic: "I'm sorry, it was my mistake to run away from the Li family. As long as you share the debt with me, I'll be your daughter again in my next life!"
Li Han's mental breakdown startled Li Dayu and his wife, making them very uneasy: "What debt have you taken on?"
They're here to enjoy themselves!
"You don't really think you're here to enjoy yourself, do you?"
Tang Yu gave a cold laugh: "Let me tell you the truth, we're just waiting for the two of you to come to us on your own."
"Why don't you all use your brains and think about why our company would adopt a grassroots girl from a village as our daughter for no reason?"
The bodyguard handed a stack of documents to Li Han's adoptive parents.
"I wonder if either of you has ever heard of professional debtors?"
The words "professional debtor" sent a chill down the spines of Mr. and Mrs. Li Dayu.
Three years ago, someone suddenly started recruiting "strategic employees" in the rural-urban fringe area where they lived.
You can earn 100,000 yuan in just three months, with a company car providing transportation, meals and accommodation, and social insurance and housing fund contributions. The job is flexible, and the only requirement is that you have a clean credit history and cooperate with the company.
Who wouldn't be tempted by such offers? But many people have doubts: is there really such a good thing as a free lunch?
Until Old Wang, the old bachelor in their village, went there, he really did receive 100,000 yuan in the first month, and the company also transferred a property and a luxury car to him.
When Old Wang returned to the village, he was incredibly impressive, throwing a huge feast. Many people were green with envy.
The Li Dayu couple were also tempted, but Li Dayu hesitated for three months.
Just as they were about to contact the recruitment agency, Old Wang jumped into the river.
