Chapter 114 Qi Yan Arrives
When Ji Nian heard what her older sister said, she forgot to think for a moment, her mind overwhelmed with joy.

Does this mean she won't have to go to jail?
After Shen Wanqing returned, Ji Nian immediately shared the good news with others.

Shen Wanqing looked disdainful. "That still means going to jail. Ten years is possible, but five years is a certainty. It's because you had such a bad attitude."

Ji Nian's smile vanished instantly after being splashed with cold water.

"I've already sent someone over, they should arrive by the day after tomorrow at the latest. Pack your things and get ready to turn yourself in."

Shen Wanqing was arrogant, and her tone of voice left no room for refusal, as if she were giving orders.

Ji Nian looked displeased and didn't seem inclined to acknowledge Shen Wanqing.

She's been on the run for so long, why rush things now? Besides, Shen Wanqing isn't a good person in her eyes, and she won't listen to anything she says.

Seeing that Ji Nian didn't react, Shen Wanqing spoke her mind.

"Don't take my words lightly. I'm protecting a criminal right now. If you investigate, I'll be implicated, and I'll be in a terrible situation myself. Think carefully before you decide whether you want to go or not."

In Shen Wanqing's heart, her daughter is important, but her career is equally important.

Her family sacrificed so much to keep her job, and she would never put herself in danger for someone unrelated to her.

Shen Wanqing's words made no sense, and Ji Nian was conflicted.

The mere thought of prison made her tremble uncontrollably; she was terrified.

Shen Wanqing had already made up her mind that after finding Yan Yan, she would take advantage of this holiday to meet her daughter-in-law.

She refused to believe that Qi Yan would rather have a peasant than his own mother and sister.

When Ji Sisi returned home, there was a set of materials neatly arranged on the table, which Qi Yan had prepared for her.

It was full of information about the trouble Ji Nian had caused at the research institute, and it was all stamped, indicating that the institute had acknowledged the mistakes.

Ji Sisi picked up the materials, went out the door, and walked towards the guardhouse, intending to mail the items to Aunt Liu.

Ji Nian went to great lengths to contact Shen Wanqing, simply to use her resources to exonerate herself.

Ji Sisi didn't care what would happen to Ji Nian in the future; all she knew was that it was time to settle the score between them.

Aunt Liu answered the phone, "Sisi, is something wrong? Why have you been calling me lately?"

It hasn't been long since the last phone call, which could easily lead to misunderstandings.

"Aunt Liu, there is indeed something I'd like to ask you for help with..."

Although the institute's phone service is free, each person has a limited number of calls per month, with only three calls allowed per person, and all calls must be kept under ten minutes.

Ji Sisi quickly recounted Ji Nian's situation and then asked someone to submit a document to the police in Ji Nian's name when there was progress in Ji Nian's case.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely help you with this."

Aunt Liu and Ji Sisi's mother were old acquaintances, and Aunt Liu had treated Ji Sisi like a daughter since she was a child.

Now that Ji Sisi is older and has the ability to fight back, she definitely can't fall behind.

After exchanging a few pleasantries and hanging up the phone, Ji Sisi placed the packaged materials on the table, affixed the stamps, wrote the address, and waited to mail them.

As she was about to leave, Wu Gang called her back.

"Sister-in-law, here's a letter for Director Qi. Could you take it back with you? It arrived the day before yesterday, but I was so busy yesterday that I forgot about it. I'm afraid I'll forget about it again today."

Wu Gang was sorting out envelopes and preparing to mail them.

Ji Sisi nodded and took the letter. It had a line of neat handwriting on it and had been sent from the capital a week ago.

Ji Sisi carefully put the letter away and went to the cafeteria for lunch, feeling relieved.

Unexpectedly, Lin Miao, wearing a white coat, rushed in from outside the cafeteria halfway through the meal.

Lin Miao gasped for breath, "Something's wrong."

Lin Miao was so exhausted that she could hardly breathe and spoke in broken sentences.

"Guess who I just saw?"

Seeing her anxious, Ji Sisi put down her chopsticks and shook her head cooperatively, "Who?"

"Qi Yan, Qi Yan's sister is here at the station!"

Lin Miao couldn't calm her excitement; her heart was pounding wildly from the exertion. "My brother drove to pick her up. I heard from my parents that Qi Yan skipped school and ran away because Aunt Shen went to pick up another Yan Yan."

Ji Sisi frowned, suddenly remembering the letter in her pocket.

Wait, how did Lin Miao's parents know about this?

"Your parents know too?"

Lin Miao suddenly felt embarrassed and said awkwardly, "Um... my dad and Uncle Qi were high school classmates."

"What is she here for?"

Ji Sisi stopped dwelling on the relationship and became more concerned about what Qi Yan was doing there. During her last phone call with Shen Wanqing, she had overheard Qi Yan badmouthing her to Shen Wanqing's face.

Judging from his tone, he's not someone easy to get along with.

With this person arriving, there's bound to be more trouble.

"What can she do besides trying to please Qi Yan? Uncle Qi and Aunt Shen don't even like their own son, let alone an adopted daughter. If Yan Yan comes back, Qi Yan..."

Even their names are the same. Qi Yan is a pitiful person; she can't even have a name that belongs to her.

"Such a deep obsession..."

Qi Yan and Yan Yan, Ji Sisi felt like one head was bigger than two.

"But don't worry, Qi Yan is too busy trying to please you right now. It's time to cure her princess syndrome. When she really comes back, she'll be in for a world of hurt."

Lin Miao was indignant, and even secretly hoped to see Qi Yan.

"I can't get in touch with her; there's too much going on at Huaihua Commune. By the way, do you know where she lives?"

As long as she didn't live under the same roof as her, Ji Sisi felt fine.

Lin Miao didn't know, "She came in a hurry. I haven't asked Lin Peifeng yet. I heard that she was almost kidnapped when she came. She was crying the whole way."

"You know, what men can't stand the most is when the women in their families cry, from their elderly mothers to their daughters."

Ji Sisi chuckled, amused by Lin Miao's description.

"You are good at describing."

"You don't need to worry too much. Qi Yan is no ordinary man. By the way, did you give him the medicine I gave you yesterday?"

It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, because as soon as she did, Ji Sisi's lower back started to ache.

“I ate it, but I don’t think he needs it.”

Ji Sisi picked up her chopsticks again, but after a short while, the food in the lunchbox had gone cold.

"What do you mean? Qi Yan is beyond saving?" Lin Miao lowered her head, tilting it to meet Ji Sisi's eyes. "Are you serious?"

Ji Sisi: "..."

Are you serious about asking this question? Ji Sisi looked utterly helpless.

"He's alright, he doesn't need this medicine for now."

Lin Miao drew out the last syllable meaningfully, "Oh~"

"..."

Ji Sisi remained silent twice.

"Oh right, I was so busy with Qi Yan yesterday. I brought you some heart medication from the capital. Come with me to the infirmary later."

When medicine was mentioned, Lin Miao thought of the special medicine he brought back to Ji Sisi from the capital.

To avoid arousing Lin Miao's suspicion, Ji Sisi had no choice but to follow her to the infirmary.

“This was sent back from abroad by my uncle. I’ll give you a different bottle.”

Lin Miao placed the medicine in her personal locker, wrapped in a cloth. It was a brown glass bottle covered with dense English writing.
