Fu Hengyi naturally knew that Granny Shen was being discharged from the hospital; after all, he visited the Shen Family yesterday, only at that time Shen Qinglan was not home because she was at school.
"Young Master Fu, did you ask me here for something?" Seeing that Fu Hengyi had been silent about the purpose of asking her to come, Shen Qinglan didn't want to play guessing games with him and asked directly.
An awkward look flashed in Fu Hengyi's eyes, but his expression remained calm, "You're Jun Yu's sister. You've been back for so many years, yet we haven't met. I'm leaving in a few days, so I thought of inviting you to a meal before I leave."
Shen Qinglan obviously did not believe his reason, but she wasn't the type to dig into the matter. Since Fu Hengyi didn't want to say, she wouldn't continue to ask.
As it happened, just as the two finished their meal and walked out of the restaurant, they ran into Han Yi head-on. Beside him stood a woman with a graceful figure, in a fiery red dress, enchanting and exquisite, her arm linked tightly with Han Yi's, in an intimate manner.
"You two..." Han Yi looked at Fu Hengyi and Shen Qinglan appearing together, surprised. Since when were these two together?
Just a few days ago, someone was steadfastly declaring that he wouldn't go for young girls, and in just a few days, he had pulled the young thing into his own lair?
Shen Qinglan's face remained serene, as if nothing from the outside world could ripple across her expression.
"Put away those thoughts in your head," Fu Hengyi said with a hint of chill. Being his brother, Fu Hengyi instantly knew what Han Yi was thinking.
Han Yi awkwardly, "Little sister Qinglan, we've met before. You might not remember me. Let me introduce myself. My name is Han Yi, I'm a good friend of Fu Hengyi, and also a good friend of your brother."
Han Yi extended his hand, a gentlemanly smile on his face, none of the usual frivolousness in his peach blossom eyes, even the nickname "little sister Qinglan" coming from his mouth didn't carry a trace of teasing.
Shen Qinglan extended her hand, lightly shook his, and immediately let go, "Mr. Han."
Fu Hengyi watched their hands clasped together, his brow slightly furrowed, but he quickly relaxed.
Han Yi raised an eyebrow, this little girl from the Shen Family was truly worthy of the title of ice beauty. When she saw someone like him, she could still remain so calm, or rather, ignore him.
While Young Master Han's curiosity was piqued, he couldn't help but feel a bit deflated. Could it be that his own charm had diminished?
"We have something to attend to, so we'll be leaving first." Fu Hengyi pulled Shen Qinglan by the wrist and left the restaurant directly.
Han Yi raised an eyebrow, watching the two walking away hand in hand, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"Where to next, school or home?" Fu Hengyi asked.
"Home." Shen Qinglan replied as straightforwardly as ever.
Fu Hengyi's car stopped in front of the Shen Family's gate; he didn't get out of the car.
"Thank you," Shen Qinglan said lightly, reaching out to unbuckle her seatbelt, ready to get out of the car.
"Wait," Fu Hengyi called out to her, "Have you saved my number?"
Shen Qinglan looked at him, puzzled.
"You can call me if there's anything, after all, you are considered my sister." Fu Hengyi explained.
"Okay."
This time Fu Hengyi didn't stop her, watching as Shen Qinglan walked into her family's villa courtyard, only then did he press the accelerator.
"Qinglan." A sweet female voice sounded from behind.
Shen Qinglan paused, turned around, and saw Shen Xitong's figure emerge from behind a tree, looking at her with a complex expression, "The person who just brought you home was Fu Hengyi, right."
"And what if he was?" Shen Qinglan's eyes were calm.
"How could you be with him?" Shen Xitong asked., her hands clenched tightly in the night.
Shen Qinglan sized up Shen Xitong, a hint of amusement emerged in her always indifferent gaze. So, it turns out Shen Xitong liked Fu Hengyi.
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
"Shen Qinglan," Shen Xitong was angry, it concerned the person she had a crush on, how could she not be nervous? Fu Hengyi was not close to women. Knowing him for so many years, she had never seen him get close to any other woman, and for the first time she ran into him, it was Shen Qinglan, the one who took everything from her.
Not knowing the relationship between Shen Qinglan and Fu Hengyi, Shen Xitong couldn't feel at ease.
"What exactly is your relationship with him, why did he bring you back?" Shen Xitong softly questioned, not daring to raise her voice for fear of being overheard by people in the house.
"No matter what relationship I have with him, it has nothing to do with you." Shen Qinglan said calmly, but her words made Shen Xitong's face change instantly.
Shen Xitong moved closer to Shen Qinglan, warning in a low voice, "Shen Qinglan, I warn you, no matter what thoughts you have about him, you're not allowed to covet this person. You better stay away from him."
But who was Shen Qinglan, how could she be afraid of Shen Xitong's warnings?
She looked at Shen Xitong, as if watching a clown making a scene, "Shen Xitong, in what capacity do you say such words? Hmm?" The ending note rose, carrying a chill.
The two of them were directly at daggers drawn.
"What are you two sisters doing here?" Chu Yunrong's voice came from the doorway.
Shen Xitong was startled, but immediately recovered a gentle face, looking towards the villa entrance.
"I just went out for a walk and happened to see my sister coming back. I haven't seen my sister for so long, I've been busy these days, so I just chatted with her for a while."
Shen Xitong had a smile on her face, looking at Shen Qinglan with the gaze of a good sister missing her sibling.
"It's so dark in the yard, what's there to talk about, come inside quickly," Chu Yunrong didn't doubt Shen Xitong's words at all, "Even though it's June now, it's still a bit cold at night. Don't catch a cold outside, especially Tongtong, you have a performance soon; it would be troublesome if you caught a cold."
Chu Yunrong babbled on.
Shen Xitong went forward with a smile, holding Chu Yunrong's arm, resting her head on her shoulder, and acted spoiled, "Mom, I'm in good health, how could I get sick so easily?" The mother and daughter were intimate.
Amid speaking to Chu Yunrong, she didn't forget to cast a provocative glance at Shen Qinglan.
Seeing her daughter still standing in the yard from the corner of her eye, Chu Yunrong was just about to call for her daughter to come in, but she was dragged away by Shen Xitong, "Oh, Mom, my custom evening gown has arrived. Can you help me see if it fits?"
Chu Yunrong was pulled by Shen Xitong, instantly forgetting that Shen Qinglan was still standing in the yard, and followed Shen Xitong inside.

Fu Hengyi had just entered the Fu Family's gate when he saw Old Sir Fu with his hands on his hips, pacing by the door, glancing at the gate every so often. When he saw Fu Hengyi, his eyes immediately brightened, but instantly they became dissatisfied again.
"Stupid boy, why did you come back so early?"
Fu Hengyi looked at him inexplicably, "It's already nine in the evening, still early?"
Early, not early, Old Sir Fu wished his grandson would stay out all night, only then could he soon hold a great-grandchild.
"Didn't you go to dinner with girl Qinglan?"
"Finished eating, then came back."
Old Sir Fu was angry, glaring at him as if Fu Hengyi had done something that violated the principles of heaven.
