Chapter 94: Retribution Has Arrived?
"There are slight signs of a recurrence in the eyes."
Dr. Zuo looked at Shen Yichen with some melancholy and suggested, "Mr. Shen, just in case, you should fly to Greenland to have my mentor re-evaluate your eyes."
Shen Yichen's eye surgery was performed by Dr. Zuo's mentor.
Upon hearing this, Chen He quickly asked, "Then may I ask what your address is in Greenland, Master?"
"My mentor's address is..."
Dr. Zuo seemed to find it a bit difficult to explain clearly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "That address is a bit hard to find. You should go back and ask Miss Qin. She can definitely explain it to you in detail."
Shen Yichen suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him.
"What did you say?" He struggled to sit up. "How did she know?"
Dr. Zuo looked at him with surprise, "Three years ago, it was Miss Qin who came to my mentor's door to ask for his help, and that's why he came back to China to perform the surgery for you. Didn't you know that?"
Shen Yichen's head buzzed for a moment, his face showing astonishment. After a long while, he asked in a trembling voice,
"She... invited him back?"
At the time, Qin Shuzhi only told him that there was a leading ophthalmologist in Jiangcheng and that she had made an appointment for him, but she did not say that she had specially invited him.
“Yes,” Dr. Zuo said.
“I heard from my mentor that he was originally unwilling to come out of seclusion, but Miss Qin stood outside his door in the freezing cold for three days and three nights and begged him. In the end, his body couldn’t take it and he even got a fever.”
Shen Yichen sat there stiffly, listening to these words. It felt as if the air in his lungs had been sucked out, making him breathless and his face pale.
"My mentor was also moved by Miss Qin's sincerity, which is why he agreed to return to China to treat you."
Dr. Zuo said, "If Miss Qin hadn't managed to get my mentor to perform the surgery for you within the optimal treatment window, you would probably have been blind for life."
After Dr. Zuo finished speaking, she glanced at Shen Yichen again and sighed sincerely, "Mr. Shen is so lucky to have such a good girlfriend by his side."
otherwise--
If he had been permanently blind, how could he have achieved his current success in the business world?
Dr. Zuo was marveling at a beautiful love story, unaware that every word he spoke was like a sharp knife, stabbing Shen Yichen's heart again and again, tearing it to shreds.
He can now clearly feel that the pain in his heart is a million times more intense than the pain in his eyes.
So that's how his eyes were saved.
But Xiao Zhi never mentioned what she had done for him to him or to ask for credit. Even when he made her leave in despair, she never used these favors to criticize him.
Why?
Why did he lose such a girl who treated him so well?
The next day at noon.
Qin Shuzhi received a call from her mother when it was time for dinner.
"Zhizhi, are you really not going to the Qi family's birthday banquet tonight?"
"I'm not going," Qin Shuzhi said. "I had Yi San deliver the gift."
Qin's mother sighed and said, "To be honest, I don't want to see that scumbag Shen Yichen either, but one thing is one thing. On my birthday, Yi San's mother gave me a very nice gift, and this morning, she called me personally to warmly invite me. If I don't go, it seems a bit impolite."
"Mom, you've always been on good terms with Aunt Qi, so go if you want. If you see strangers, don't get angry; just treat them like they're invisible."
Because she and Qi Yishan were close friends, their parents had been in contact even before she met Shen Yichen. Now that she and Shen Yichen had broken up, she couldn't let her mother's social circle be affected as well.
"Okay, I'll go tonight."
"Okay, if anything happens, just call me anytime," Qin Shuzhi instructed.
"What could possibly happen? Do you think your mother would let anyone bully me?" Qin's mother scoffed.
Qin Shuzhi smiled and said, "Yes, my mom is the best."
She said that, but as soon as she hung up the phone, she immediately texted Qi Yishan, asking her to help take care of her mother that night.
Qi Yishan agreed at noon, but then called again during the break between the last class in the afternoon.
“Baby, doing things yourself is a true way to show filial piety.”
Qin Shuzhi said, "Please speak like a human being."
"You're coming tonight too," Qi Yishan said. "My brother was hospitalized last night, so he won't be able to attend the banquet tonight."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shuzhi's first thought was: Retribution has come?
“My mom just said she wants you to come over tonight,” Qi Yishan said. “She also said she wants to invite your husband too, otherwise she’ll feel uneasy accepting such an expensive gift from you.”
"I……"
"If you disagree with the birthday person, you're being disrespectful," Qi Yishan interrupted her.
"No, I mean..."
“My mom knows you don’t want to see my brother. She only dared to call you after she was sure my brother wouldn’t come. If you refuse again, my dear mother will call you herself in a little while.”
Qin Shuzhi, who was interrupted several times, said, "What I want to say is that I will call my husband right now to ask about his schedule."
"sensible."
Qi Yishan chuckled and said, "Alright then, go ahead and call. See you tonight."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Shuzhi immediately called Shi Yuanxing to tell him about it and asked him if he wanted to go.
Shi Yuanxing said, "Since it's an invitation from an elder celebrating their birthday, let's go."
She didn't refuse; instead, she called to ask for his opinion, which shows that she wanted to go.
She wanted to go, and of course he was willing to go with her.
"I'll pick you up from school in a bit. Let's go home and change first, then we'll go over?"
Qin Shuzhi said, "Okay."
Qin Shuzhi hung up the phone and then called her mother to tell her that she would also be going with Shi Yuan that night.

Birthday party scene.
Since it was their first meeting, and the other party had specifically invited him, out of courtesy, Shi Yuanxing asked Li Sheng to prepare a rather valuable birthday gift.
Wearing a festive red dress, Mother Qi was a little embarrassed when she received the gifts.
"Shuzhi's gift was delivered to me early this morning. You and Shuzhi are a couple, why did you bring a gift again?"
Shi Yuanxing smiled politely, "This is a small gift from a junior as we meet for the first time. I hope you like it."
"I like it, I really like it, thank you."
With a smile, Mother Qi glanced back and forth between Qin Shuzhi and him, and praised, "Not bad, the young couple is quite well-matched."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Shi Yuanxing and said, "Shuzhi is a treasure girl, you have to cherish her."
Shi Yuanxing held Qin Shuzhi's hand tightly and looked at her tenderly, "I am so lucky to have married such a wonderful girl as Zhizhi. I will definitely cherish her."
Looking at the loving gaze he gave Qin Shuzhi, Mother Qi sighed:
See? My own nephew, who must have gotten his head caught in a door, doesn't know how to appreciate things.
She's a lovely girl; plenty of men would love her.
