Yin Shaoyuan soon returned with a bitter face, and even while eating he was absent-minded. Gu Xiqiao put away her phone after seeing his expression and said, "Alright, Tong Tong has also eaten, I'll bring her to the hospital. If you're busy, you can leave first."

"I'll take you both to the hospital first." Even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't dare to leave Gu Xiaoqiao alone. If anything happened to her on his watch, Jiang Shuxuan would be forced to kill him.

He opened the door while he talked, intending to let the both of them leave first. However, when he glanced around outside and his gaze fell on a figure that was hidden near the doorway, the corner of his mouth quirked up. "Wait a while, I'll be right there. Make sure you don't leave!"

Having said that, Yin Shaoyuan didn't give Gu Xiqiao a chance to respond as he closed the door, walking out to the figure who was hiding in the corner, pulling the person out. "Mom, what are you doing?"

Mrs. Yin looked embarrassed to be caught for a while, before straightening up, "I heard that you've found me a daughter-in-law and a cute granddaughter, so I came to see for myself."

"F*ck, this... no, who's been spilling these things to your ears?" Yin Shaoyuan's face was flushed, with a helpless and stunned look. "What do you mean daughter-in-law and granddaughter! That's my sister! She just graduated from school, what joke is this?!"

"What the f*ck...is that true?" Mrs. Yin's eyes were wide with surprise. She knew that her son had always been fickle in regards to relationships, but when she heard the gossip she had been over the moon, rushing over. Who knew that the reality was such, that it felt like Yin Shaoyuan had poured a bucket of cold water over her. However, she continued to speak, "The last time you mentioned you've met a sister, this was talking about her?"

"That's right."

"When are you bringing her home?"

"Soon. Don't look at me that way, nothing will happen between us. She belongs to Master Jiang, I wouldn't dare to defile her with my hands." Yin Shaoyuan hurried to add on as a reminder, seeing the calculative looks in his mother's eyes as soon as he had said the previous words.

Hearing those words, Mrs. Yin slumped in defeat. She knew when to give up, especially when the difference was obvious. Even if you offered the entire Yin family up, no one would dare to touch anyone that belonged to Jiang Shuxuan.

"Then I'll go and meet my daughter," Mrs. Yin said with a slight furrow of brows, she had been wanting a daughter for a very long time.

"No, now's not the right time." Yin Shaoyuan said as he pulled out his phone. "I'll call Dad if you still won't leave, and tell him that you've been playing online games in my room the entire night."

"...Unfilial son!" Mrs. Yin huffed, as she turned to reluctantly leave. "Remember to make time to bring her home!"

Yin Shaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief after she had gone out of sight, and returned to the private room that he had left the others in.

After sending Mu Jiatong back to the hospital, Gu Xiqiao requested that Yin Shaoyuan return first, as she would remain and accompany Mu Jiatong in the hospital. Yin Shaoyuan was hesitant, not feeling at ease to leave her alone, but he couldn't manage to convince her, and could only nag at her for a while before getting into the car and leaving.

By the time Gu Xiqiao left the hospital, it was already evening. As she walked along the road, a notification came from the System suddenly.

[Beauty Qiao, there is a car following you from behind.]

'I know.' Gu Xiqiao's five senses had been honed to be more sensitive, and she had felt herself being followed before the System had notified her.

[There isn't any malicious intent coming from the owner of the car. Would you like me to run interference on your position, Beauty Qiao?]
