"I need to sort out my thoughts." Qin Yuhuan rubbed his knees, his eyes red and swollen, "I need to figure out how to respond to what she said when she came over."
"Listen to me, don't even think about it, go put on an emergency eye mask," Ziyi pushed Qin Yuhuan to the bathroom, "Look, this time you really turned into a rabbit."
Qin Yuhuan: ...
It seems to be true. Shi Nianzhi is not a particularly smart person. She should be able to handle it perfectly on the spot. It is more important to take care of her appearance first.
When Shi Nianzhi came over, the security guard nearby did not leave in a hurry, fearing that she would cause trouble in Ziyi's house.
Ziyi brought a glass of water over and placed it in front of Shi Nianzhi before speaking to the security guard, "Please go sit in the living room for a while. I'm also worried about any unexpected situations. Thank you for your hard work."
When my aunt is at home, she will bring them snacks and water, so there is no need to worry about failing to entertain them.
"Where's my sister?" After the security guard left, Shi Nianzhi looked behind Ziyi, at the door. Unfortunately, it was empty. She held the cup of warm water that Ziyi had given her in both hands and said, "Is there any tea? My sister loves it the most..."
Before she even finished the word "tea", Ziyi had already turned on the surveillance camera in front of Shi Nianzhi. "Well, what did you say? I didn't hear it just now."
Shi Nianzhi: ...
"Oh, what's your sister's favorite drink, right? Who is your sister? What does her favorite drink have to do with me?" Ziyi sat down lazily. "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I want to see my sister." Somehow, the arrogant attitude was like a sharp knife, piercing Shi Nianzhi's heart. Her eyes reddened again. "I want to ask, how did my father... how did my father die?"
"He got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and had a sudden stroke." Qin Yuhuan happened to hear this as he pushed the door open and answered, "No one can be sure of the exact date he died, but we can only guess it was around October 20th."
Last October, Shi Nianzhi couldn't help but recall what she was doing at the time. She was busy participating in variety shows and preparing for her debut.
"Sister, I know I didn't do well enough, please forgive me."
Shi Nianzhi seemed to want to grab Qin Yuhuan's hand, but she dodged him.
"I stopped studying after graduating from high school. I just wanted to go with you. When mom left, I didn't want to study anymore, but I knew you wouldn't allow it."
She lowered her head, and tears as big as beans fell one by one, and soon countless dark splashes appeared on her light-colored jeans.
"I also know that you can't take care of me by yourself. For the past four years, I have been looking forward to growing up every day, waiting to become an adult. When I grow up, I can leave that family. You don't like the entertainment industry at all, but you force yourself to stay, just to make money. Sister, I will make money to support you in the future. I will make a lot of money, and I will give it all to you. Please, don't leave me."
Shi Nianzhi seemed to have seen some hope. She looked at Qin Yuhuan expectantly, "Please, sister, I... I have always treated you as my own sister. I have never forgotten how good my parents have been to me."
As she spoke, she remembered the gift she had brought, which the security guard had left by the door. She rushed over like crazy and picked up the bag. "I know my parents owe money to our family, and I can't ask them for too much money right now. This...this is a camera and a lens. You've always wanted a camera of your own. I remember, sister, this is the most expensive one."
Shi Nianzhi couldn't wait to use all her chips, wishing she could dig out her true heart and lay it out in front of Qin Yuhuan, "Sister, please, I can sever ties with Mom and Dad right now and tell everyone online what they did, October..."
She muttered to herself, as if she had thought of something terrible, and suddenly became speechless.
"Do you know something?" Qin Yuhuan grabbed Shi Nianzhi's arm, his face cold. "Did Chen Yang or Shi Lilian tell Dad something that day?!"
"I don't know," Shi Nianzhi shook his head vigorously, "No! There's no such thing, I don't know."
However, her strange behavior has aroused the suspicion of Qin Yuhuan and Ziyi. Shi Nianzhi has something in her heart that she urgently wants to verify, and she can't stay here for even a second.
She raised her head slightly, looking at the expressionless Qin Yuhuan. Her heart was already half cold, but she still asked: "Sister, do you like the entertainment industry now?"
"Nianzhi, six years ago, I was only 20 years old. I had other jobs I wanted to do. The entertainment industry was very far away from me, even if I made a movie. So I tell you, I didn't like this industry that much. To this day, I still don't like this industry, but I like the job of an actor. There is no contradiction."
When interpreting other people's lives, Qin Yuhuan felt the character's sorrows and joys, as if she had also experienced such a life, and the suffering in her own life was invisibly diluted.
She gave the character a soul, and the character taught her countless beautiful qualities.
"I'm sorry, sister." Shi Nianzhi left only these words and rushed out.
Faced with Qin Yuhuan's calmness, what did she do?
Qin Yuhuan wanted to stop him, but Shi Nianzhi was faster.
She looked at Shi Nianzhi's leaving back with worry in her eyes.
"I'll ask the security to follow and take a look." Ziyi held Qin Yuhuan's hand.
"I'm wondering if the fact that I can't find my dad's phone is God's mercy on me. What if he really had a fight with Chen Yang's family on the day he died?" Qin Yuhuan covered her mouth, hardly daring to believe the speculation that was brewing in her heart. "My parents are the same kind of people. If my mom was so angry that she was hospitalized after a fight with Shi Lilian, my dad could do the same..."
If she had known at that time, Qin Yuhuan couldn't imagine what she would do. She would have wanted to go to Chen Yang's house with a knife and die together with all the members of the Shi family.
"I'll ask someone to check it out." She tried to comfort Qin Yuhuan, and a gloomy look flashed across her eyes for a moment.
"I'll call Sister Jinyao." Qin Yuhuan began to look for her cell phone all over the place. She was emotionally unstable at the moment and had completely forgotten where she put her cell phone when she came in, until Ziyi took out her phone and gave it to her.
The call was connected. "Sister Jinyao, Nianzhi isn't feeling well. I'd like you to contact her agent and have them keep an eye on her."
"Do you think I'm soft-hearted?" Qin Yuhuan asked Ziyi while sniffing.
"No, that's what people do. We're all people who seek freedom within the rules." Ziyi rubbed the top of Qin Yuhuan's head, her tone gentle, "Just follow your heart. Otherwise...if something really happens to her, we'll feel bad, right?"
"No," Qin Yuhuan shook her head. "What I'm thinking is, what happens to her has nothing to do with me, but she can't get into trouble today, and she can't get into trouble because of me. I don't want to be blamed for their family's affairs anymore."
If there was anything Qin Changping and Shi Lilan taught her, it was not to be blindly soft-hearted and... not to get close to the Shi family, as getting close to them would make her unhappy.
As soon as he left the residential complex, Shi Nianzhi couldn't wait to call Chen Yang, "Dad, I remember you said that last October, your second uncle (Qin Changping) called you and you had a fight, right?"
