Chapter 90 This baby is weak and can't take care of herself
The two embraced quietly for a while. After Shi Yuanxing composed himself, he slowly let go of her and looked down to ask, "Grandma made some snacks for you. Would you like some?"
Mrs. Shi said coquettishly, "You'll feed me?"
Shi Yuanxing smiled and softly replied, "Okay."
He carried her to the table, fed her snacks one bite at a time, and after she had eaten a few bites, he thoughtfully put a straw in her juice and gave it to her to drink.
Seeing that she was just eating intently without saying anything, Shi Yuanxing couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to ask me what just happened?"
Qin Shuzhi paused in her chewing, looked at him, and said directly, "I heard it at the stairwell just now."
Shi Yuanxing's hand holding the juice clenched slightly as he carefully observed her expression. "Then...won't you think I'm being heartless and going too far?"
Would Mrs. Shi, who is such a kind and generous person, think that he is too narrow-minded and harsh?
"Zhizhi, actually I..."
"I don't think you're cold-hearted."
Qin Shuzhi looked at him with trust and determination in her eyes, "I believe that your position is above the interests of the group. You must have your reasons for doing this, and you are just handling it impartially. What's wrong with that?"
This was a decision unanimously passed by the board of directors, not Mr. Shi's arbitrary and dictatorial decision.
Besides, if Shi Yuanxing's punishment was truly unfair, Qingman would have run to her father to complain right now, instead of running home to argue with her younger brother.
This shows that she herself knew in her heart that the fault lay with Qiao Wenbo.
"only……"
Qin Shuzhi looked at Shi Yuanxing, her face still filled with worry, "With you and your sister having this fight, won't your relationship...be even more strained?"
Seeing her worried about him, Shi Yuanxing felt a warmth in his heart. He gently stroked her cheek and said softly, "She will understand in the future."
Qin Shuzhi nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
The siblings were already estranged because of their mother's passing, and now they've had a falling out over company matters. It's likely that this rift will be even harder to untangle in the near future.
Because of this whole commotion, Shi Yuanxing didn't want her to stay at the Shi Mansion anymore, as if he was afraid that Shi Qingman would cause trouble again.
When Madam Shi heard them say they wanted to go back, she didn't stop them. Before leaving, she even held Qin Shuzhi's hand and apologized to her on behalf of Shi Qingman.
"Grandma, I know my sister didn't mean it. It was an accident. And I only have a minor burn. I'll put on some ointment and it'll be fine in a couple of days."
Qin Shuzhi comforted her, "He has urgent work to deal with while he's away, so we have to go back. We'll come back to see you next time he's less busy."
"Okay, okay, next time you come back, Grandma will have the kitchen make some new snacks for you to try."
Qin Shuzhi smiled and said, "Okay."

Back at Yushui Bay, Qin Shuzhi acted as if she were a weak and helpless baby.
Mr. Shi finished cooking dinner and brought it to the table. She held up her injured right hand and looked at him with pleading eyes, saying, "Mr. Shi, I can't hold chopsticks."
So Mr. Shi sat down next to her and focused on feeding her.
After finishing her meal, she started asking for fruit again. When Mr. Shi cut it up and placed it in front of her, she blinked and looked at him innocently, "But I need to use my left hand to watch videos on my phone. What am I going to do if I can't eat it?"
The next second, Mr. Shi sat down next to her, quietly watching videos with her, and occasionally feeding her a piece of fruit.
After watching videos for a while, she asked Mr. Shi to play a movie for her.
The two sat on the sofa watching a movie. She insisted on eating pistachios, so Mr. Shi started peeling pistachios next to her...
In any case, he always fulfilled her needs without the slightest impatience, and even enjoyed it.
He fed her, even spoonfuls of soup.
She wanted to eat fruit, so he took out all the fruits she liked and cut them up.
She said she wanted to eat pistachios, so he cracked open a plate of walnuts, which she usually eats.
In short, he took meticulous care of her, making sure she was completely at ease.
Finally, back in the bedroom, he asked her very seriously, "Do you need help taking a shower?"
Qin Shuzhi almost stumbled on the spot, "This, this is not necessary."
Seeing his disappointment, she quickly added, "But you have to help me brush my teeth."
"good."
The man readily agreed, "Then I'll go squeeze the toothpaste now."
Watching him walk briskly into the bathroom, Qin Shuzhi smiled, a hint of... doting affection in her eyes that she herself didn't even realize.
On the way back from the Shi Mansion, Shi Yuanxing was in a gloomy mood. Although he didn't say anything, Qin Shuzhi knew that he was still blaming himself for her injured finger. So after returning home, she deliberately ordered him around in everything.
You want him to do this and that for you.
This would allow him to express the "debt" he felt towards her through his actions, thus eliminating his sense of guilt.
Clearly, she did the right thing; Mr. Shi's eyes always lit up whenever she needed him.
It was as if being ordered around by her was a great honor.
So, for the next few days of the holiday, Shi Yuanxing also rested and stayed at home to take care of his wife.
The night Qin Shuzhi returned from the Shi Mansion, Li Sheng brought her a tube of burn ointment. It worked quite well, and by the time Qin Shuzhi returned to school after the holiday, her hand had almost fully recovered.
But Shi Yuanxing still insisted on applying the ointment to her every morning and evening until her hands returned to their slender and fair state.

After being detained for fifteen days, the first thing Zhou Siyan did upon her release was to go find Shen Yichen.
To prepare for this, she specially chose a beautiful yet sexy dress to wear and put on exquisite and charming makeup, making sure that her disheveled and haggard appearance from staying up all night was completely hidden before she dared to go out to find Shen Yichen.
late at night.
Shen Yichen's driver was driving his boss home. Just as they were about to reach the boss's house, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked the car. The driver was startled and slammed on the brakes.
Shen Yichen, who was taking a nap in the back seat, was startled by the sudden noise.
He immediately frowned and looked at the driver, "What's going on?"
"Excuse me, Mr. Shen, there are people ahead."
No sooner had the driver finished speaking than there was a knock on Shen Yichen's car window.
"Yichen".
He looked outside and saw it was Zhou Siyan, and his brows furrowed even more deeply.
Seeing her was like seeing a culprit; the scene of him abandoning Qin Shuzhi and turning to go down the mountain that night instantly flashed into his mind.
This made him feel very irritated.
"drive."
He coldly ordered the driver.
Seeing the car start again, Zhou Siyan hurriedly ran up and blocked the car.
She knew very well that if Shen Yichen didn't see her today, it would be even harder for her to see him in the future.
She knew that the perfect image she had cultivated in front of Shen Yichen was ruined, but when she thought about how Qin Shuzhi was already married, she felt that no matter how angry Shen Yichen was, she still had a chance.
Moreover, now that she has lost her job as a teacher and without Shen Yichen's support, she has nothing left in Jiangcheng.
Therefore, she must hold onto Shen Yichen tightly.
