Chapter 17: Mine, not Yours.

Chapter 17

He Qingchen pulled Jian Xi to the side, picked up her hand which was still oozing blood droplets, and pressed the needlepoint with a cotton swab, "You really stabbed this needle in deeply."

Jian Xi giggled and said, "Hehe, used too much force, used too much force. Brother, grandfather should be able to wake up after a while. However, he has a severe deficiency now and won't stay awake for long, probably just around ten minutes. You should hurry up."

He Qingchen nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Then Dr. Shen and I will go out first. I'll tell him some things to pay attention to with grandfather," Jian Xi retracted her own hand and looked at it. The bleeding had stopped. "Okay."

He Qingchen threw the cotton swab into the trash can and placed his big hand on top of Jian Xi's head, rubbing it. "Go on, go downstairs to eat some snacks and fruits to pad your stomach. I'll take you out for hot pot later."

Upon hearing hot pot, Jian Xi's eyes lit up. "Okay, okay."

She turned her head, "Dr. Shen, let's go out first." Jian Xi said to Shen Xiaoheng with a faint smile.

Shen Xiaoheng smiled. Her change in attitude was really too fast! She was like a little girl who refused to grow up when with He Qingchen, but to others she was polite and aloof, handling matters calmly and decisively.

He looked at Jian Xi then looked at He Qingchen. These two really grew up together since childhood! Their similarities were indeed extraordinary.

Shen Xiaoheng went downstairs to the living room with Jian Xi. The few passing servants looked over, but only glanced for a moment before hurriedly averting their eyes and continuing with their work.

At this time, Shen Xiaoheng received a phone call. He went to the side to take it and gestured for Jian Xi to sit first.

Just as Jian Xi sat down on the sofa, a servant came over to ask what she would like to drink. Jian Xi said, "Just water, thanks."

"Alright, please wait a moment."

Soon, the servant brought over the water, along with some snacks and fruits.

Jian Xi took a sip from the glass, put it down, and took out her phone to fiddle with it. for new novels

She didn't really have time to play with the new phone He Qingchen bought her yesterday, so she decided to check it out now since she had nothing to do.

After researching it for a while, Shen Xiaoheng walked over. She put away her phone.

Shen Xiaoheng sat down and smiled as he asked, "Miss Jian, may I ask you a question?"

"This is Miss Jian, she is Qingchen's, um, sister."

He Jiaxu was puzzled. Looking at Shen Xiaoheng, he said, "Sister? That can't be right. Our He family doesn't have any distant relatives left. If I had a sister, how would I not know about it?"

Just as Jian Xi was about to explain, an icy voice laced with anger cut in ahead of her.

"Mine, not yours." He Qingchen had heard He Jiaxu's words as he came downstairs and felt he was being too nosy.

He Jiaxu shrank back, immediately silencing himself.

Seeing his reaction, Jian Xi pressed her lips, wanting to laugh. He acted like a little overlord outside but became so meek before her brother!

In fact, He Jiaxu also didn't know why. Ever since he first met He Qingchen four years ago, he had been rather afraid of him. The aura he exuded was very oppressive, especially when he stared at him, it was like being choked by the neck and unable to breathe!

"Cousin, you're here! I'll go check on grandfather. You all chat, heh, chat away." He Jiaxu didn't care about any sister business now. His life came first, so he hurried upstairs as fast as he could.

"Wait!" Jian Xi called out to him.

He Jiaxu halted his steps, looking at Jian Xi puzzledly. What did she want from him?

Jian Xi rummaged in her purse and took out a safety talisman. She got up and handed it to him, "Keep this on you."

He Jiaxu was even more confused now. He stared at the paper talisman in Jian Xi's hand, what was the meaning of this?

"Take it if it's given to you, keep it on your person," He Qingchen said.

"Oh, oh, alright. Thank you sis, thank you Miss Jian." He Jiaxu hurriedly expressed his thanks, then rushed upstairs with the safety talisman, moving at lightning speed.

Jian Xi put away her bag, slinging it across her body. She glanced around. The servants had all disappeared after He Qingchen came downstairs. She asked, "Did grandfather fall asleep?"

"Mm," He Qingchen affirmed with a sound. Then he said to Shen Xiaoheng, "Everything will be settled by the day after tomorrow at the latest. Put the bugs back for now, don't let them find out. Thanks for your hard work."

Shen Xiaoheng: "Got it, leave it to me. I'll stay at the old residence these few days."

"Alright, let's go." He Qingchen said, then led Jian Xi away by the hand. However, Jian Xi pulled him to a stop.
