Chapter 35

"Oh!"

"Qin Zhan!"

Seeing that the mother and son were about to start arguing, Wen Xin quickly broke free from Qin Zhan's embrace, stood up, and clasped her hands in front of her. "Madam, you've arrived."

When Madam Qin saw the well-behaved girl, most of the anger on her face dissipated, and she said gently, "Xiao Xin, come here."

Qin Zhan pulled Wen Xin behind him and asked, "What do you want from her?"

Madam Qin was furious when she saw her son, who was coming to collect a debt. She pointed at him and said, "Get out of my way!"

Qin Zhan scoffed coldly, "Why should I?"

Madam Qin retorted angrily, "Because I'm your mother!"

Wen Xin grabbed Qin Zhan's hand and shook it, telling him not to make Madam Qin angry anymore.

She then pulled him forward, saying, "Madam, please come in and sit down."

Madam Qin gave Wen Xin face, glared at her son, and went inside to sit on a single sofa.

Wen Xin let go of Qin Zhan's hand and went to pour a glass of water for Madam Qin.

Qin Zhan couldn't bear to let her serve others, so he went to pour the water himself.

In his opinion, would the matriarch of the Qin family be afraid of not having a cup of water to drink?

Madam Qin was so angry she was practically bursting with energy, and she almost took off her shoe and beat him up—you unfilial son!

Wen Xin: "..." What a headache!

"Madam, what brings you to H City?"

Wen Xin quickly changed the subject, worried that the mother and son might actually start fighting.

Madam Qin turned to look at her and saw that she had clear eyes, a fair and delicate face, and a quiet temperament. She was obviously living a good life here, and her expression softened.

"I happened to be on a business trip in the next city, and I thought I'd come and see you."

Two years ago, Madam Qin also came to H City, but at that time Wen Xin was very resistant to everything from the Qin family, so she did not show up, not wanting the young girl to feel even worse.

Wen Xin bit her lip, bowing her head with deep remorse, "It's my fault, I've made Madam worry about me."

Madam Qin lovingly stroked her hair, not blaming her at all. "I'm relieved that you're doing well."

With tears in her eyes, Wen Xin said, "Madam, I was ignorant before, I'm sorry."

Where?

Qin Zhan casually placed the water glass on the table, put his arm around the girl's shoulder, and gently coaxed her, "If it weren't for my carelessness, Ah Xin wouldn't have met bad people and been deceived. It's not your fault."

Qin Zhan was completely sincere when he said this.

He always believed that Wen Xin's falling in love with Li Qingchen and suffering for the past two years was entirely his fault.

Oh, so the indirect culprit is Madam Qin!

Qin, the filial son, gave his biological mother a disapproving look, as if to say: "You came all this way and made me sad. What are you doing here?"

Madam Qin sneered: Who is the real culprit? Don't you have any idea?

Qin Zhan's eyes were like knives: You think you're innocent?

Wen Xin: ennnn……

She dared not be sentimental anymore and continued to grit her teeth and try to break up the fight between the mother and son, diverting their attention, "Madam, have you had lunch?"

Qin Zhan looked unwelcoming and wished he could kick her out immediately, "It's almost one o'clock, how could she not have eaten?"

Mrs. Qin was simmering with anger. "I just got off the plane and came straight here. Where are we going to eat?"

Wen Xin, feeling a headache coming on, tugged at Qin Zhan's hand, telling him to stop fooling around.

Who treats their own birth mother like an enemy?

Every time, the two of them seemed determined to fight to the death.

Qin Zhan glanced at her, and out of respect for his girlfriend, he didn't argue with Madam Qin any further.

However, seeing Wen Xin about to get up and go to the kitchen to cook noodles for Madam Qin, Qin Zhan frowned again, knowing he couldn't stop her, "I'll go."

Wen Xin paused for a moment, but did not object, so as to avoid him and Madam Qin arguing alone in the living room again.

With her troublesome son gone, Madam Qin grasped Wen Xin's hand and asked her about her recent situation.

Wen Xin answered her questions obediently while examining her body.

Mrs. Qin is a workaholic. She has been working very hard all these years, with almost no rest throughout the year, and her health has long been compromised by overwork.

In her past life, she fell ill during Wen Xin's senior year of college.

The illness came on rapidly, and within two months, the hospital issued a critical condition notice. At that time, Mrs. Qin really wanted to see her one last time.

Wen Xin was extremely saddened after learning about her illness. She was originally in a hurry to see her, but at that time, Li Qingchen had been humiliated by Han Yuying and ended up in the hospital after drinking too much.

Controlled by the plot of fate, Wen Xin was unable to help but go to take care of him, which caused her to miss her flight. By the time she arrived in Beijing, Madam Qin had already left.

This incident became a deep wound buried in her heart, festering for many years until the story ended and she came to her senses, at which point it completely erupted, causing her excruciating pain.

Even now, when Wen Xin recalls it, her heart still aches faintly, and she feels extremely guilty towards Madam Qin, who treated her like a loving mother.

Wen Xin concealed the turmoil in her eyes and checked Madam Qin's pulse.

Sure enough, her body was very weak. She had a multitude of seemingly minor but actually very uncomfortable ailments, including headaches, anemia, stomach problems, liver disease, and cervical and lumbar spine issues, which had almost completely drained her body!

If she doesn't take good care of herself and rest, she might not be able to escape her death next year, just like in her previous life.

But if we ask Madam Qin to put down her work and recuperate, she probably wouldn't agree.

Wen Xin pursed her lips and gently channeled a wisp of her divine soul power into her body to help her heal her chronic illness.

In Madam Qin's view, as she talked with Wen Xin, her body suddenly felt relaxed, her headache disappeared, and all her previous fatigue vanished.

The little girl can soothe her heart, unlike that unfilial son who only makes her angry.

However, when Madam Qin thought of the scene she had just witnessed, the smile on her face faded.

She looked at Wen Xin, her tone quite serious, "Xiao Xin, tell your aunt, did that bastard Qin Zhan force you?"

Wen Xin was taken aback at first, then her face flushed red. "No, brother didn't force me."

Madam Qin was exasperated. "You're still defending her? From childhood to adulthood, when has he ever stopped bullying you?"

Wen Xin: "..."

When has Qin Zhan ever bullied her?

Madam, is that really your son?

Madam Qin sneered, "That scoundrel has been coveting you since he was a child, and now he's not even trying to hide it anymore. He's shamelessly making advances on you. He's really something!"

"Xiaoxin, if you don't like him, don't worry about him. There's no need to force yourself to please him."

"If he dares to bully you again, Auntie will cripple him for you!"

Wen Xin: Uh...

The truth is out: Qin Zhan is definitely not his biological son!

However, "Madam, no, my brother didn't bully me, really, I'm willing."

Looking at the well-behaved and pretty young girl, Madam Qin frowned in disbelief, "You never liked him before."

Wen Xin: "..."

I really feel sorry for Qin Zhan!

She pursed her lips, her eyes sparkling, her smile radiant, and said from the bottom of her heart, "I've always liked him. I was just too naive to realize it before, and then I was blinded by gratitude and mistook it for love. After teetering on the brink of death and returning to my brother's side, I gradually came to understand my own heart."
