Qin Xu's mind went blank for a moment.
He remembered who she was!
How... how could it be her...
His fingertips trembled as he stared at her in shock, unable to reconcile the person before him with the little girl from the orphanage.
After Shen Zhihe finished speaking, she smiled apologetically at Qin Yue: "I'm sorry, I kept some things from you. I just really didn't know how to tell you. The main reason I came to the hospital today was not for Ye Xin, but to see you. Although the Qin family adopted Qin Xu, you have sponsored the orphanage a lot. With your annual donations, we are very happy. It can be said that without the Qin family, we would not be where we are today."
He hadn't expected such a coincidence; he had disguised himself and sneaked in just to see Qin Yue.
As it turned out, he happened to run into the person he least wanted to see in his life.
He overheard the dean and the little girl saying that the Qin family was very kind, that Fang Yueru and her family were her parents, and that they would treat them like their own daughter.
He also heard the dean say that the girl would definitely be happy.
He was young then and didn't understand what happiness was. He only knew that the uncle and aunt were very kind. They bought them beautiful clothes and brought them lots of delicious food. He wanted to eat delicious food every day and wanted to have his own parents.
He was so young back then.
I don't know what to do.
He deliberately tripped and fell to make himself look pitiful, thus taking the place of the other person.
He can't remember many things from his childhood, but this one thing is deeply etched in his mind, and he can't forget it even if he wants to!
His secret, which he thought he had kept hidden so well that she would never know it, was now facing the possibility of being exposed.
Don't listen...
Don't listen to anything she says!
He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Sorry, it's been so many years, I don't remember some things very clearly."
He prayed to God, unaware of what she had done back then.
Shen Zhihe saw through the man's fear, and her amusement deepened.
So he can be afraid too.
She later heard from other people in the orphanage about why the Qin family chose Qin Xu, and she also verified the truth of what they said with the director.
So many years have passed, the truth is no longer important to her.
Ultimately, it's up to the Qin family to decide who to adopt.
They are simply the chosen ones.
However, some of those selected resorted to underhanded tactics.
After hearing Tong Yexin mention that Qin Yue and Qin Xu had long since severed ties, she inquired about the reasons, both openly and secretly. She even wondered what she would do if the Qin family had adopted her. She would never be like Qin Xu; she would definitely become the best sister in the world.
Qin Yue has such a good personality, and both her parents are wonderful people. She will do everything she can to protect her happiness, and she will definitely be closer to Qin Yue than to her own sisters.
Of course, these are just thoughts.
She didn't want to say these meaningless things to anyone.
Including her own husband.
However, upon seeing Qin Xu's annoying appearance, she suddenly changed her mind.
At least let Qin Yue know what kind of person Qin Xu is.
“However, it’s fate that we met. There are some things I didn’t originally intend to say, but…” She paused, looking somewhat sad, and said, “Sister Yueyue should remember what happened back then. I’m afraid that if I don’t say it, Sister Yueyue will misunderstand me.”
Qin Xuxin felt his heart sinking.
He already guessed what she was going to say.
What should I do to stop her from talking?
Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, he perfectly concealed the fear and unease in his eyes and spoke with concern for Qin Yue: "I remember who you are. My sister is still lying in the hospital bed. We can talk about everything after she gets better."
As long as she doesn't say anything now, everything will be fine.
This body still has a considerable amount of savings.
He can afford hush money.
Bringing up what happened back then is meaningless to her; if she were smart enough, she would know what to choose.
Qin Yue spoke up: "I'm fine, please feel free to say whatever you need to say."
"Then I'll tell you."
Tong Wang'an gripped her hand tightly, even more nervous than Shen Zhihe, worried that she would be upset about this.
Shen Zhihe smiled at her husband, took a deep breath, and said it was nothing.
Then, staring at Qin Xu, she said earnestly, in a soft and gentle tone, "For a while, I felt very remorseful. I kept thinking about what I had done wrong, why my adoptive parents and sister chose other children instead. Later, I found out the reason."
Someone deliberately inflicted wounds on themselves, claiming they were bullied by other children at the orphanage, and that I was one of them, a bad kid. At that time, Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin only said that the adoptive parent had changed to Qin Xu, without giving a reason. They probably never imagined that such a young child would lie.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qin Xu denied without even thinking, his eyes like those of a venomous snake, staring at her with a sinister and ruthless gaze. "I have no idea what you're talking about, why are you saying this!"
If looks could kill, Shen Zhihe would probably be dead a hundred times over by now.
She timidly shrank into her husband's arms, nervously clutching his sleeve, tilting her head back, and whispered in protest, "I didn't lie. Why would I lie? Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin must know what happened back then. If you don't believe me, you can ask them and see if I'm lying. I have a clear conscience. In the orphanage, I never bullied you. Sometimes I even saved the best food for you. Qin Xu, do you dare?"
"She's talking nonsense." Qin Xu kept repeating this sentence. He had finally managed to see his sister, so why had things turned out like this?
Qin's parents surely know why they want to change the person.
All he can do is stick to one thing.
Thinking of this, he stared intently at her with his dark eyes and said, "I understand that you blame me for taking your place back then, but why are you trying to smear me? I don't know if you bullied me back then, but I know very well that I was indeed beaten and scolded by those older kids in the orphanage."
"But it wasn't me, was it? You're clearly the one distorting the truth."
"Sister, believe me, I didn't!" He didn't want to argue with Shen Zhihe anymore. As long as Qin Yue believed him, nothing else mattered.
After all these years, the truth of this matter is no longer so important to Shen Zhihe. It can be considered that Qin Xu taught her a lesson in life, letting her know that no matter how young a child is, you can't trust them.
This is a big deal for Qin Xu.
A major event that was enough to shatter his psychological defenses.
This matter became a major worry for him.
What he couldn't stand the most was seeing the disappointment in Qin Yue's eyes and hearing her say that she regretted adopting him. He seemed to see Qin's mother sitting on the rooftop again, telling him that they all hated him.
