Qin Buwan and Xu Nanhe didn’t know what the old lady wanted to do, so they remained silent.

In a few seconds, the call connected.

“Nanhe, it’s me,” the old lady said with a solemn expression.

“It’s like this, I want to check a purchase record,” the old lady continued, “Did Yunshang from our in-law’s side buy a gift for his girlfriend recently?”

Qin Buwan then realized who the old lady was calling.

She wanted to confirm whether she had colluded with Fu Yunshang and whether they were together.

If Qin Buwan was already with Fu Yunshang, she would openly admit it without the Xu family’s coercion, unlike Xu Nanhe, who dared to do but not admit.

Something that hadn’t been done was something that hadn’t been done.

What’s more, she was now eager to get married.

“Did he customize a six-carat necklace?” Xu Nanhe was silent for a few seconds before continuing to ask in a deep voice.

In Xu Nanhe’s memory, the diamond necklace around Song Xi’s neck should have been quite large, but it was only a fleeting glance, so he didn’t remember very clearly.

Now that the other party admitted that Fu Yunshang bought it from them, such an expensive item couldn’t be faked.

How could this be? Xu Nanhe couldn’t help but frown. The necklace was lost at this particular time, was it really such a coincidence?

“What’s wrong?” the other party asked cautiously: “Did Miss Song Xi offend the Old Ancestor somehow, or…”

“That’s definitely not a problem!” the other party agreed readily.

The old lady had suffered a heart attack yesterday, and her lips were still a little purple. The symptoms of the illness couldn’t be faked.

Xu Nanhe knew that what he had done in the past few days was a bit excessive.

To avoid being accused of being unfilial, he didn’t argue and knelt down in front of the old lady.

“Where’s your mouth? Don’t you have a mouth?” The old lady said scoldingly, disappointed in him.

“There’s no need,” Qin Buwan said coldly.

She took a deep breath and said frankly: “Grandma, Xu Nanhe and I can no longer…”

“Don’t talk nonsense!” This time, the Xu family’s old lady didn’t give her a chance to speak.

The old lady could guess what Qin Buwan wanted to say.

She couldn’t bear to, and couldn’t do that.

“Nanhe will change, I’ll give him another chance, okay?” The old lady was silent for a long time, then assured Qin Buwan: “Even if it’s for Grandma’s sake.”

Qin Buwan looked at the old lady’s trembling hands, at her tearful eyes, frowned, and didn’t speak.

Fu Yunyi said that the old lady’s recent follow-up results after her heart bypass surgery weren’t optimistic. Because the old woman was too old, even a little stimulation could lead to serious consequences.

The old lady’s eighty-eighth birthday was coming soon.

As she spoke, she glared fiercely at Xu Nanhe: “I’ll see who dares to bully her again!”

“Okay,” Aunt Su nodded.

Xu Nanhe didn’t say a word, got up and walked out.

“Grandma, I’m tired. I want to rest for a while,” Qin Buwan waited for Xu Nanhe to leave for a while, then also got up and said.

“Okay, be good, I’ll handle things,” the old lady nodded in response.

After a night of trouble, it was almost dawn, and Qin Buwan was still injured, so she really should rest.

As soon as Qin Buwan stepped out of the room, the old lady turned to Aunt Su with a stern face and instructed: “From today onwards, suspend all of Nanhe’s cards! Notify the hospital that they are only allowed to pay him his basic salary each month, and the bonus will be directly deducted for the hospital’s research and development department!”

“Anyone who dares to subsidize him even a cent is going against me!”

“I want to see, without money and status, whether that little fox spirit will still want him!”

……

Qin Buwan walked towards the room prepared for her by the old lady on the third floor. Just as she reached the vicinity of the staircase entrance, she found Xu Nanhe standing there waiting for her.

They exchanged glances. Qin Buwan treated him like air and walked past him without stopping.

“So what? What do you want to hear from my mouth?” Qin Buwan glanced back at him and retorted.

Xu Nanhe’s face turned green.

“People see others through their own lenses.” Qin Buwan sneered dismissively: “Don’t worry, Little Uncle is at least cleaner than some hypocrites whose hearts are dirtier than their faces.”

Just as Xu Nanhe was about to say something, Aunt Su pushed the door open and walked out of the old lady’s room.

“Young Master, aren’t you leaving? You’ll be late for work soon.” Aunt Su walked to Xu Nanhe and stopped him.

Xu Nanhe could only watch Qin Buwan go upstairs.

……

In the big garden, Qin Zhiyu heard Fu Yunyi and the old lady’s conversation from the neighboring yard: “…If Yunshang hadn’t made a big deal out of it these past few days, I wouldn’t have known that Nanhe was so deeply in love with her.”

Qin Zhiyu listened, it seemed that they were talking about her and Xu Nanhe, so she walked to the corner of the wall and eavesdropped.

“Nip that seedling in the bud, don’t let it grow again,” she heard the Xu family’s old lady instruct Fu Yunyi, then hung up the phone.

In the distance, it seemed that Xu Nanhe was coming over, so Qin Zhiyu immediately turned around and ran into the room, pretending to be uncomfortable and lying on the bed.

Xu Nanhe returned to the room, glanced at Qin Zhiyu on the bed, and turned to the cloakroom to change his clothes.

As soon as he put on his shirt, a pair of slightly cool hands climbed onto his waist from behind.

Xu Nanhe’s action of buttoning his shirt paused slightly.

However, Qin Zhiyu only hugged him and didn’t make any excessive moves.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, turned around and patted Qin Zhiyu’s back to comfort her: “It’s okay, I’ll have the driver take you back later, you can sleep for a while longer.”

Outside the door, Qin Buwan was faintly listening to the conversation between the two outside, and the hand she reached out to turn the doorknob stopped.
