Xia Xiao looked at Assistant Qian, whose expression stiffened, forcing a smile as she said, "Yes, Academician Xia, my little sister is taking care of Leilei, so it's impossible for her to go over."
"Is that so? Then you two should go back and check if your little sister is indeed at home." Having said this, Xia Xiao added another sentence, "My son is already married, and his twin sons will be starting elementary school next year."
Without waiting for a response from the couple, Xia Xiao left.
Dr. Xi and Assistant Qian returned to their quarters, only to not find Qian Xiaomei present; it was Shanyue who was taking care of her sister.
"Where's your auntie?" Dr. Xi asked Shanyue.
"I don't know. Little Auntie told me to look after my sister and said she'd be back soon, but she's been gone for a long time and hasn't come back," Shanyue shook her head.
Dr. Xi frowned, and Assistant Qian said, "There must be some misunderstanding; Xiaomei isn't this kind of person."
