Footsteps echoed outside the emergency room, the click-clack of high heels particularly clear at this moment, accompanied by murmurs of conversation. Ye Jian, who was speaking with Old Madam, didn't notice, nor did Qin Xiu, who was absorbed in listening. Old Madam was in the middle of recounting how Qin Xiu had mischievously thrown laundry detergent into Old Man Xia's fish tank, claiming he wanted to give the fish a bath.
Bringing up childhood antics, Qin Xiu felt somewhat helpless and said, "Grandma, please save me some face. If you go on, she'll be afraid to even let me through the door."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of high heels outside came to a sudden halt, followed by a somewhat uncertain call, "Brother Qin?" Upon hearing the voice, Ye Jian's gaze slightly darkened.
Old Madam's expression also faded considerably; she clearly did not welcome the newcomer.
Qin Xiu then shifted his body to look toward the person standing at the entrance.
