Chapter 72: I slapped the old man, but I'm still not as good as him. ...

"No, brother, why do you even care about this?!"

Before Su Yinuo could react, Qin Wangxuan stood up in dissatisfaction and said, "Your selfish motives are too obvious. You just want to take advantage of my cold to get close to her, right? Brother, can you be more normal? You already call her your sister-in-law, she's mine now!"

Qin Cangye exerted force, and the spoon in his hand snapped in two. The sharp porcelain shards sliced ​​his fingers, and blood spilt out. He ignored it, tossing the broken spoon onto the table and saying coldly, "Let's sleep in separate rooms. Her health is most important."

The hostility emanating from him was truly terrifying. Qin Wangxuan opened his mouth, swallowed back a stream of curse words, and sat back in his chair, his head aching even more.

"Uncle Li, prepare a comfortable room for Miss Su on the second floor," Qin Cangye ordered.

"Yes, young master," Li Guogang bowed respectfully.

"No need, she will sleep in my room. I'm afraid she won't be used to the new bed, so just clear out a room for me next door!" Qin Wangxuan ordered irritably.

Li Guogang glanced at Qin Cangye and, seeing that he had no objection, said, "Yes, Young Master Wangxuan."

It didn’t matter to Su Yinuo whether they had separate rooms or not. After breakfast, when she was about to go upstairs, Qin Cangye, who was about to go out to work, called her to the door.

Qin Cangye looked at her calm face and asked, "Are you unhappy?"

"No," Su Yinuo shook her head.

Qin Cangye raised his hand, gently pinched her chin, and lifted her face. Looking at her rounder face and her rosy, plump lips, he felt much better. But the slightly furrowed brow on her face still made him uncomfortable, and what made him even more distressed was the kiss mark on her neck.

He slid his hand down and gripped her neck, pressing his thumb against the hickeys, wanting to wipe them away.

Su Yinuo grabbed his fingers and took his hand away, muttering, "Don't strangle me to death..."

She didn't let go of his hand, but took out a band-aid from her pocket and put it on his finger that was scratched by the porcelain shard, complaining in a low voice: "What are you doing? Did you forget to take your medicine this morning?"

In an instant, Qin Cangye's heart beat faster and he felt an urge to hug the person in front of him.

But in the end, he restrained himself. He looked at her loose hem, touched her slightly bulging belly through her clothes, and said, "Take care of yourself."

After saying that, he turned and walked out the door.

After Qin Cangye disappeared from his sight, Su Yinuo finally reacted. He touched his stomach and said to himself, "It's over. I really have eaten too much recently..."

-

In the morning, a private doctor came over, examined Qin Wangxuan, and prescribed some medicine. In the afternoon, after taking the medicine and having a good sleep, Qin Wangxuan felt much better. He then took Su Yinuo to the sanatorium of Donghui International Hospital to visit Qin Weishu, who was at the end of his life.

Along the way, Qin Wangxuan, who had regained his spirits, kept complaining as he drove, "Wife, you don't know, but I've been treating you like an ox lately, throwing every kind of work at me. Every day, I have to review and approve dozens of plans and hundreds of documents. I even have to eat and drink with him at night, and even have me brave the cold wind to go on field inspections! Do you think I'm doing this on purpose? Do I want to tire myself out so I can snatch you away?"

Su Yinuo smiled, pointed to the car, and asked with her mouth: "Monitoring?"

"Tear it down! The old man is busy taking care of himself now and has no time to monitor me!" Qin Wangxuan said angrily.

"Have you decided to whom you will transfer the remaining shares in Qin Weishu's hands?" Su Yinuo asked.

"He has no choice but to ask me," Qin Wangxuan said. "My brother is completely ruthless. After the board of directors suspended him, they continued to pressure him to transfer his shares. More and more videos and photos are circulating online, and the public pressure is too great. The police have opened a case against him. Although it will undoubtedly be difficult to obtain evidence to convict him, the interrogations and summonses during this period have almost driven him crazy. He is now notorious and hates my brother to the core. There is no way he will transfer his shares to me. If it goes on any longer, his shares will likely be frozen. He is also an old stubborn man with deep-rooted feudal ideas. There is no way he will transfer his shares to an outsider. So, I am the only one left."

Su Yinuo smiled and asked, "Do I have to continue acting in front of him at this moment?"

"yes."

The light ahead turned red, and Qin Wangxuan stepped on the brakes. He reached out and stroked Su Yinuo's soft cheek, saying, "If you don't like this old man, just watch me act from the side for a while."

"As long as he doesn't provoke me, I will cooperate with your performance," Su Yinuo said with a smile.

The smile in her palm was so cute and bright, and the soft touch made Qin Wangxuan's heart dazed. He couldn't help but hold her chin and move closer.

As their noses touched, a beeping noise of urgency echoed from behind. The red light had already turned green, and Qin Wangxuan immediately sat back, firmly grasped the steering wheel, and started the car.

He didn't say anything else, and Su Yinuo also looked out the window.

The car was completely silent. Qin Wangxuan's hands gripped the steering wheel, sometimes exerting force, sometimes letting it rest on the wheel weakly. He felt very uncomfortable. The time that slipped through his fingers seemed to have turned into a sharp blade, constantly cutting through his heart, reminding him with this pain: the time he had with Su Yinuo was getting less and less.

He didn't know what else he could do to save the situation. He only knew that his love for Su Yinuo was growing day by day. He couldn't imagine how painful he would be on the day of separation, and he couldn't imagine how tormented he would be in the future without seeing Su Yinuo.

What should I do? What should I do?

The momentary feeling of powerlessness caused the entire car to shake a few times. Su Yinuo immediately turned around and covered his hand on the steering wheel, saying, "Drive well and don't let your mind wander."

"I'm sorry," he said, feeling down.

"It's okay," she patted his hand.

"After you finish visiting the old man, come with me somewhere, okay?" he asked.

"Okay," she said.

The car slowly drove into the high-end nursing area of ​​Donghui International Hospital. After the car stopped, Qin Wangxuan immediately got out and came to Su Yinuo. Seeing that her down jacket was open, he quickly pulled it up for her and said, "It's very cold outside, get dressed."

"You don't have to take care of me like this."

"I do."

He took her hand and walked into the yard where Qin Weishu was recuperating.

The courtyard was quiet, its Chinese-style courtyards and buildings lending it a tranquil, elegant atmosphere. There were few people in the yard. Aside from the bodyguards guarding the gate and the medical staff coming in and out, there was only Qin Weishu, who sat by the green pond to the west, feeding the fish, and Old Yan, who stood beside him like an ancient pine tree.

Qin Wangxuan pretended not to see Qin Weishu and took Su Yinuo into the main hall on the east side.

After entering the house, it felt much warmer. Qin Wangxuan asked Su Yinuo to sit in the hall, poured her a glass of water, and then went to see Qin Weishu alone.

Su Yinuo, holding a teacup, looked through the grille window and saw the grandfather and grandson performing a play by the pond. She was too far away to hear their conversation, but she could see the wonderful expressions on their faces. Qin Wangxuan didn't know what he said, but it made Qin Weishu furious, and then he immediately burst into tears. Qin Wangxuan hugged Qin Weishu, almost half-knelt in front of him, and finally calmed him down.

Su Yinuo covered her mouth, finding it a little funny.

The two talked for a long time. Finally, Qin Wangxuan's expression changed and he pushed Qin Weishu's wheelchair towards the hall.

Su Yinuo immediately put down the teacup, straightened her clothes, put on a well-behaved look, and said to herself: "Okay, let's start acting."

When Qin Weishu appeared in the hall, Su Yinuo realized that he had become much thinner and older in just a dozen days. There was an obvious sign of illness in his old, white eyes, and the hostility on his face was replaced by illness. Although he was dressed neatly, he looked very embarrassed.

"Grandpa!" She spoke first, immediately standing up and looking at Qin Weishu with tears in her eyes. She asked with concern, "You don't look well. Didn't you get enough rest?"

This action startled Qin Wangxuan. After a moment of silence, Qin Weishu cursed, "Who allowed you to call me grandpa? You haven't even entered my Qin family yet!"

Su Yinuo blinked and tears fell. She said aggrievedly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin. It was Wangxuan who kept talking about Grandpa in my ear. I got used to it and just called him out."

Seeing Su Yinuo crying, Qin Wangxuan immediately walked over, held her face, wiped her tears and said, "What's wrong? Don't cry?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I just," Su Yinuo said with a choked voice, "I just feel that grandpa is so pitiful. I hope grandpa gets better soon."

"Stop pretending," Qin Weishu remained unmoved and cursed, "You're just a vixen in human skin. Others can't see your true face, but I can see it clearly!"

Su Yinuo bit her lip and said aggrievedly, "I just hope grandpa gets better soon."

This is the truth. This old beast hurt so many people, and he died of illness in such a comfortable way. It was too easy for him! He should have lived a good life, suffered humiliation and torture, and then went to hell with nothing!

Qin Weishu snorted coldly, his eyes becoming both vulgar and vicious, and he said, "If you wish me well, then come here and let me touch my great-grandson."

When Qin Wangxuan heard this, he immediately stood in front of Su Yinuo and said, "Grandpa, what are you doing?!"

Qin Weishu said angrily, "Since this bitch can sleep with you and your brother, what's the harm in letting me touch her? Can I touch her off a piece of flesh?" He looked at Old Yan and ordered, "Bring her to me!"

Qin Wangxuan protected Su Yinuo, glared at Old Yan, and shouted, "Get out of here!"

"Wangxuan, I just told you, if you can just make her give in, I'll give you all the remaining 28% of my shares!" Qin Weishu said angrily. "I don't care whether you two get married or not. As long as the baby in her belly is yours, all my inheritance after I die will be left to that child!"

"This is not the way to surrender!" Qin Wangxuan roared.

Qin Weishu sighed in frustration, then gave Old Yan a look that urges him to take action.

Old Yan was Qin Weishu's dog, a dog who would follow him to the grave even after his death. He was nearly as old as Qin Weishu, a savage old dog, seemingly fierce but utterly rotten inside. His strength had diminished due to age and injuries, and it took considerable effort to subdue the unskilled Qin Wangxuan.

"Don't touch her!" Qin Wangxuan shouted at Qin Weishu, who stood up from his wheelchair and slowly walked towards Su Yinuo. He tried to break free, but Old Yan held his arms and legs tightly. "Don't touch her! Qin Weishu, you can't touch him!" He shouted until his eyes were red.

"What kind of beauty could have seduced both of my grandsons into this state?" Qin Weishu stumbled towards Su Yinuo, sneered with a lewd smile, "Although she is indeed somewhat pretty, she is nothing special. Women like you are everywhere at dinner parties, so is it because you are better in bed than others?"

Su Yinuo took a step back, feeling nauseous. She clenched her fists and looked coldly at Qin Weishu, who was as thin as a dead branch.

Qin Weishu laughed heartily. "What would Qin Cangye's expression be if this old man of mine defiled you? That bastard almost drove me to death. I also want to see his pain!"

Su Yinuo took a deep breath, and when Qin Weishu was two steps away, he raised his hand and slapped Qin Weishu's face hard.

The slap didn't make a loud sound. After all, there wasn't much flesh left on that old face.

Qin Weishu was beaten so hard that his eyesight became blurry. He staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.

"You...you dare to hit me?" Qin Weishu covered his face and said in disbelief.

Su Yinuo sneered, retracted his hand, and said, "This is also for Grandpa's own good. Let Grandpa wake up and think clearly about the consequences of touching me. Can you withstand Qin Cangye's revenge?!"

She took the initiative and approached Qin Weishu. "I believe Wangxuan must have promised you a peaceful old age, right? But look at what you've done to your grandson, the only one who loves you? Do you want to tear your face off with everyone and become a deserter? Then live with your dog and the pile of treasures you have in the basement? Then I ask you to imagine: a big empty house, a pile of buried treasures, an old man in his twilight years, and a dying old dog. Can they stop the wolves and tigers who are eyeing the treasures? Without your grandson to protect them, I'm afraid they will be eaten to pieces!"

Every word was so heart-wrenching that it made Qin Weishu's hands tremble.

"Old, Old Yan..." He shouted weakly, and was helped to a wheelchair by Old Yan who ran over.

Qin Wangxuan immediately came to Su Yinuo and protected her guiltily.

"Send Grandpa back to his room to rest, talk to him, and call a doctor to check on him," Su Yinuo patted Qin Wangxuan's arm and smiled ostentatiously, "The New Year is coming soon, and Grandpa's health must not fail. During the New Year, I will give him a big gift!"

-

After more than half an hour, Su Yinuo, bored and waiting in the hall, leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes. Familiar footsteps approached, but she was too lazy to open her eyes. Then, she fell into a warm embrace.

"I'm sorry, I didn't... uh... I think I've said this many times. I'm really useless," Qin Wangxuan put his head on Su Yinuo's shoulder in shame.

Su Yinuo opened his eyes, rubbed his head, and said, "Don't blame you, nothing happened to me."

"But, but if I were here, you wouldn't even hear those humiliating words," Qin Wangxuan still felt guilty.

"That's right," Su Yinuo imagined the situation when Qin Cangye was there. Old Yan would definitely not be able to stop Qin Cangye, and Qin Cangye would push Qin Weishu back into the wheelchair the moment he stood up.

"So you have to sign up for a class to practice," Su Yinuo smiled and pinched Qin Wangxuan's arm.

Qin Wangxuan sighed deeply and said dejectedly: "I'm still not as good as him."

"Isn't this true?" Su Yinuo said with a smile.

"Could you please not attack me so bluntly..." Qin Wangxuan raised his head, looking very pitiful.

"Okay, didn't you say you would take me somewhere? Let's go," Su Yinuo stood up and waved to Qin Wangxuan with a smile.

That smile seemed particularly warm and bright in the cold and gloomy winter weather. Qin Wangxuan's heart was naturally moved by her, and then his whole body followed her like a puppet, holding her hand.

More than ten minutes later, looking at Qin Wangxuan driving around aimlessly, Su Yinuo frowned and asked, "Where are you taking me, Qin Wangxuan?"

"I..." Qin Wangxuan pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly and said, "Actually, I don't know where to go. I'm not familiar with Beiguang City. I just want to be alone with you for a while."

Su Yinuo thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll take you somewhere. Come, I'll guide you."
