Chapter 442: Chapter 433: I am Xixi’s True Love Fan

Qian Yiheng opened the door, looking at the big one, the small one, and a suitcase at the entrance, sighed, and took in her little niece, "Now we truly are two peas in a pod."

Single, each raising a child.

Fortunately, the one beside her was all grown up and sensible, requiring little worry.

Qian Yisheng brought the suitcase inside.

"The lease on the house near the hospital has about half a month left, and I plan to redecorate it later. I’ll have to crash at your place for a while."

Qian Yiheng placed the little niece on the sofa next to the older niece and straightened up, patting her second brother on the shoulder, "Make yourself at home."

She asked the older niece to watch over the little one, and the siblings went into the prepared bedroom.

Qian Yiheng watched her newly single second brother expertly unpack his suitcase and couldn’t help but sigh, "I didn’t expect my former sister-in-law to sign the divorce papers so decisively. I thought your divorce would take some back-and-forth."

"I made my stance clear; she knew that after this, there was no going back for us. I also made some concessions in the property division, so dragging it out would only fuel more resentment. Better to end it quickly."

Qian Yiheng nodded, "That’s the way to see it. I just thought my former sister-in-law was pushy and domineering, who would’ve thought she’d be so crazy. It’s good to be divorced, someone who’d even scheme against family is too scary; our Qian Family can’t handle her."

Qian Yisheng gave her a look, "You’re talking about her like she’s a demon. Go out and have fun, I don’t need your help."

"I wanted to comfort you a bit more."

"No need."

"Then I’m off."

When Qian Yisheng finished unpacking and came out, he saw his sister, niece, and daughter lined up on the sofa, watching the TV intently.

He walked over and took a peek at what they were watching.

There was a somewhat familiar face on the screen.

"Is that Jiang Lingxi?"

Qian Yiheng turned her head and waved at him, "Jiang Girl and Yaya went to National TV to record ’Inheritance of Calligraphy and Painting,’ it’s airing now. Otherwise, I would’ve sent this girl back to her room to study. Want to join us, second brother?"

Qian Yisheng walked around to the front of the sofa, picked up his daughter who was also watching keenly, and sat down to watch the TV screen.

As the camera panned to Jiang Lingxi.

Qian Yaya: "Sister Xixi is indeed the most dazzling one in the group."

Qian Yiheng: "Her aura truly stands out; this outfit is also very nice."

Qian Yaya: "I remember she wore three different outfits over the three days of filming, and each one looked great."

Qian Yiheng: "The style of these clothes feels familiar, but I can’t recall which brand it is. Ah, getting old really takes a toll! But it doesn’t stop me from fangirling, hehe."

...

Listening to their endless discussion, Qian Yisheng felt somewhat conflicted.

Who would’ve thought such a dazzling star on screen could be so sharp and domineering in private.

He still couldn’t imagine how someone like that managed to reduce his ex-wife to such a wreck just by remotely directing via a cellphone.

"There are actually people questioning why Sister Xixi was selected to record ’Inheritance of Calligraphy and Painting’. Sister Xixi could easily beat any of us, okay? Why does nobody question Jing Huai, he’s the real troublemaker!"

The indignant voice of the older niece brought him back to his senses.

He turned his head to see the two of them each holding a phone, brows furrowed.

"Why get upset, the show just started. Those who are doubtful now will soon be proven wrong."

Despite saying that, Qian Yiheng also looked displeased, "Are these all Jiang Girl’s haters, making a fuss as soon as the show started airing?"

Qian Yaya paused: "Sister Xixi seems to have quite a lot of haters."

She wondered if she should mention that before filming this show, due to these online haters, she didn’t have a good impression of Sister Xixi.

Back then, she actually liked Jing Huai.

But once she really got to know her, she truly felt some people’s charm is utterly irresistible.

While others were exactly the opposite; they fell apart upon closer contact.

"These haters should really meet the real Sister Xixi, they’d definitely regret their online comments!"

Qian Yisheng looked at his older niece: "Yaya really likes Jiang Girl?"

Without thinking, Qian Yaya nodded, "Of course, I’m a true fan of Sister Xixi. Also a CP fan of Sister Xixi and Mr. Shen."

"CP?"

"It means couple, a pair. Uncle, Mr. Shen is also on this program."

Qian Yisheng immediately thought back to what he inadvertently heard from his ex-wife and ex-mother-in-law about ’that person’, they once let slip a mention of Mr. Shen.

He had deduced back then that the dining knife which pierced through his ex-wife’s palm was probably flung by Mr. Shen.

But scanning through the male guests on TV, "Which one is Mr. Shen?"

"He hasn’t appeared yet, Mr. Shen is one of the judges this time, he stayed behind the scenes for the first two days and only came on stage with the guests on the second day."

"So we probably won’t see him today then?"

"We should be able to." Qian Yaya herself wasn’t sure since she didn’t know how the program was edited, "Uncle, just wait patiently. But why are you suddenly curious about Mr. Shen?"

"I’m curious about what kind of person he is."

Someone capable of piercing a hand with a dining knife.

And after doing so, manage to emerge unscathed in front of the ex-mother-in-law and his father.

But hearing him ask, Qian Yaya had something to say.

"Uncle, I’ve even spoken to Mr. Shen! Isn’t there a phrase ’gentleman like jade’? I never found anyone matching that phrase until I met Mr. Shen, truly felt like those words were tailor-made for him."

"Gentleman like jade?"

Seeing the older niece nodding like a pecking chick, Qian Yisheng couldn’t help but laugh.

A ’gentleman like jade’ capable of stabbing through someone’s hand?

He really couldn’t picture it.

Until his arm was suddenly tapped several times, "He’s on, he’s on!"

Qian Yisheng squeezed his daughter’s little hand and looked up at the TV.

One look, and he was stunned.

"It’s him!"

"Uncle, you’ve seen Mr. Shen?"

Qian Yisheng hesitated for a moment before nodding, "We’ve crossed paths once."

Memories long buried came flooding back.

Back then, he was a newly graduated intern doctor, performing well enough to be granted permission to observe a major multi-expert consultation surgery.

The face with the oxygen mask being wheeled out of the operating room was unforgettable after just one glance.

Though he left quickly after recovering, in those few days, the special care ward was almost overwhelmed by various visitors, it practically became a scene in the hospital.

He still remembered the day the person was discharged; even seated in a wheelchair with downcast eyes expressing thanks, he looked like an exquisitely crafted artwork made for a millennium.

The two faces slowly overlapped in his mind; he had thought that with such a lofty and distinguished person he’d never have any more interactions, but who knew...

His thoughts were interrupted by the niece’s curious voice: "When did you meet him?"

"Several years ago."
