Mr. Xie couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
So this brat is already hooking up with his daughter, why is he everywhere?!
Also Xihe...
Humph, are you very familiar with him? You call him so affectionately!
And what's more, she even called out Xihe first when greeting him. Does she still look down on him as her elder?
Blah blah blah blah…
Mr. Xie kept complaining in his heart, but he smiled: "Sheng San, why are you here too? Are you here to play at the Zhong family?"
"Okay then, Patriarch Zhong is inside, go ahead and we'll go home first."
As he said this, he pulled his daughter's hand and prepared to leave.
However, before he could pass the front of Sheng Shijing's car, the man had already stopped the car and got out, stretching out his long legs to block the way for the two of them.
Mr. Xie: “…”
You can't get rid of it, right?
The old man was furious and was about to curse.
Unexpectedly, this time, his own daughter got there first. Xie Xihe asked, "Why are you here?"
Sheng Shijing lowered his eyebrows and looked at her with a gentle expression: "I heard the noise on the phone and was worried, so I came to check it out."
Xie Xihe glanced at him, without asking how he knew she was at the Zhong family. After a pause, she said, "Didn't you say you were going to the Sheng family? Are you going there now?"
Sheng Shijing naturally had no objection, but Mr. Xie did!
Hearing this, his whole body tensed up, and he immediately asked repeatedly, "You want to go to the Sheng family? Are you two going together? Why are you going to the Sheng family?"
She looked at Sheng Shijing with the same eyes as if he was looking at a wild boar stealing his own cabbage, and warned him: "Sheng San, let me tell you, although I promised your father not to stop you from having contact with my daughter, she is still young. If you dare to have any improper thoughts, I... I..."
He glanced around, then quickly pulled out a handful of golden needles from his waist and threatened viciously, "I'll stab you to death!"
Xie Xihe: “…”
Sheng Shijing: “…”
Both of their faces turned red in an instant.
Sheng Shijing glanced at Xie Xihe, his ears turning red. He cleared his throat and said, "Uncle Xie, you misunderstood. I only brought Xihe to the Sheng family to see a doctor."
Seeing his disbelief, she paused, lowered her voice, and said, "My aunt."
The anger on Mr. Xie's face faded, and soon it was replaced by a deep sigh. This time he said nothing, waved his hand and said, "Go, go."
The attitude changed so quickly that Xie Xihe couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and became more curious about Sheng Shijing's aunt.
Old Master Xie warned her, "Shao Qiong... I'm talking about Sheng San's aunt. Her illness is difficult to treat. If you can treat her, then do so. If you can't, that's fine. Just chat with her and have a conversation."
Xie Xihe paid attention to the expressions of her father and Sheng Shijing, vaguely realizing something, and couldn't help but frowned.
Mr. Xie had already turned around and got into the Xie family's car, waving his hand and saying, "Go early and come back early."

It was not until she saw Sheng Shaoqiong in person and took her pulse that Xie Xihe finally understood why her father and Sheng Shijing had such expressions when they mentioned her.
Sheng Shaoqiong...she is actually not sick.
Not only is she not sick, she is even much healthier than most women of similar age.
But she really didn't have long to live, no more than a year at most.
The reason is...she doesn't want to live anymore.
Xie Xihe has seen many people who claim that they don’t want to live or feel that they cannot live, but most of them will wake up in an instant when the time comes for them to actually die.
I found that I didn't really want to die, but I was just too shocked or my life was too unsatisfactory that I began to think about dying.
But Sheng Shaoqiong was truly disheartened.
There is no longer even the slightest desire to survive.
Sheng Shaoqiong looked at the girl who lowered her eyes after taking her hand back, not knowing what she was thinking. He glanced at his nephew and chuckled, "This must be Brother Xie's daughter, she's really pretty."
Xie Xihe came back to his senses and looked up at her: "You are also very iconic."
Sheng Shaoqiong was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and chuckled: "I'm old, so what's the use of symbols or no symbols?"
Xie Xihe shook his head: "Beauty has nothing to do with age."
I don’t know if it’s because she looked too serious, or because the girl herself is an extremely beautiful woman, but when she said this, it was particularly convincing.
Sheng Shaoqiong couldn't help but touch his face: "Really..."
But the next moment he lazily lay down again and changed the subject: "It's been a long time since I last saw Brother Xie. How is the old man?"
Xie Xihe then realized that for her, beauty or ugliness, good or bad didn't really matter much.
She doesn't take it to heart anymore.
I didn't say anything more and just answered her question.
The two chatted harmoniously until Sheng Shaoqiong looked obviously sleepy, and then they stood up and said goodbye.
Xie Xihe glanced at her and didn't mention the medical treatment anymore.
For someone who has lost the desire to live, no matter how amazing her medical skills are, she cannot save him.
But after leaving Tianqiong Courtyard, Xie Xihe still stopped, turned his head to look at Sheng Shijing, and asked: "Do you know what your aunt's knot is?"
Sheng Shijing didn't know.
When he first took over TISO a few years ago, he tried to find out about his aunt, but he only found some information that many people knew.
For example, Shaoqiong of the Sheng family is the younger sister of Sheng Huanan, the current head of the Sheng family. She is sixteen years younger than Sheng Huanan and has been raised under the pampering of her father and brother.
For example, Sheng Shaoqiong has always been known as the most beautiful woman in Kyoto. When she was young, she had countless suitors, but she never even glanced at them.
For example, she loves traveling and adventuring, and she disappears for a while from time to time.
…
There were many ordinary pieces of information, until she was 24 years old, after a three-year disappearance, when she returned to the Sheng family, she became what she is now.
He locked himself in this Tianqiong Courtyard, never leaving the house, and never leaving behind cigarettes and alcohol.
She is still beautiful, but she no longer has the spirit and sharpness she once had, and has completely become a stagnant pool.
No one knows what happened during the three years she disappeared that made her become like this.
That’s not right…
Sheng Shijing frowned slightly and said, "My father should know. He was the one who brought my aunt back to the Sheng family. But I asked him several times, and he always refused to tell me."
This is a difficult situation.
When talking to Sheng Shaoqiong just now, Xie Xihe tried to deduce her past, but she didn't know whether it was because the time interval was too long or because of her special physique, even if she concentrated her mental power, she could only see a very blurry picture.
She had only encountered this kind of situation with one person...
Thinking of this, Xie Xihe couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He raised his eyes and looked at Sheng Shijing, sizing him up carefully.
Just like every time before, it's a blank.
Even worse than Sheng Shaoqiong, when facing Sheng Shijing, she couldn't even make out his most basic facial features.
Why is this?
