Qin Yi placed his hand in a place that Su Wan couldn't say anything about. Although she knew that Qin Yi's words were not ambiguous, she wasn't as thick-skinned as Qin Yi. She glared at Qin Yi with a hint of coquettishness and softly hummed in agreement.

Qin Yi pondered for a long time, trying to find someone skilled in Gu magic among his interpersonal relationships, but to no avail.

Su Wan noticed Qin Yi's worry and squeezed his hand in a comforting gesture: "Don't worry, Mr. Cui said he would find a way, so he definitely won't abandon us."

Qin Yi didn't doubt Cui Zhengming's medical skills, but Gu poison was beyond the scope of medical skills. Although he was highly skilled in medicine, he might not be as good at Gu poison as Zhengqing.

According to the information he found, Zheng Qing has been quite active these past few years. Anyone who offends him will inexplicably feel unwell, or even die suddenly.

Those people all had something in common: they all had heart discomfort, always felt like there was something in their body, but tests showed nothing wrong.

But as a person weakens day by day, the attacks become more and more frequent, and during an attack, the person feels as if they are dying.

Gu can save lives, but it can also kill. If there's no Zhengqing behind it all, then something strange is going on.

Zhengqing was not a magnanimous person, and he was far from being kind.

Coincidentally, Master Cui Zhengming had the same symptoms before he died. Having learned medicine from his master, Cui Zhengming naturally knew that his master was not sick. At the time, Cui Zhengming attributed the problem to his master's old age and the weakening of various bodily functions.

They did not suspect Zhengqing at all.

Now it seems that everything was traceable.

Cui Zhengming took some time to have Qin Yi take him to his place. After returning, aside from eating, drinking, and using the restroom, he spent every day buried in books looking for solutions.

Feeling emotionally distressed, Jiang Baiyuan began to frequently try to please Grandma Qin. He would sit and chat with the old lady for a while one day, and help her with some housework the next, making it impossible for Su Wan to get involved.

Su Wan was unaware of the entanglement between Chen Qianlan and Jiang Baiyuan, and found Jiang Baiyuan's behavior baffling.

Su Wan first looked at Qin Yi, who shook his head. The two of them crossed their arms and looked at Jiang Baiyuan, who was being unusually attentive, with meaningful expressions on their faces.

Jiang Baiyuan didn't feel embarrassed at all. "Grandma, you look younger and younger. You have such a healthy complexion, just like a young girl."

"And this house, you keep it so clean and tidy every day. I'm not just saying this to flatter you, Grandma. You should come over to my house sometime and teach my mom. She really doesn't know how to do housework."

He coaxed the old lady so much that the wrinkles around her eyes never disappeared.

Qin Yi felt that Jiang Baiyuan's bottom line was too low, there was no bottom line at all. In order to praise his grandmother, he even gave his own mother a reputation for being slovenly.

Jiang Baiyuan was praising her enthusiastically when Chen Qianlan pushed open the door and entered: "Grandma, what are you talking about? It's so lively!"

Chen Qianlan's smiling face vanished instantly upon seeing Jiang Baiyuan. She glared at Qin Yi, clearly displeased with her younger brother.

Jiang Baiyuan ran to the door, took the gift Chen Qianlan had bought for Grandma Qin, and, acting like the host, ushered Chen Qianlan in.

"Come in and sit down, Grandma has been talking about you."

Grandma Qin saw Chen Qianlan standing at the door and waved to her, "Lanlan, come in quickly."

Chen Qianlan had no choice but to bite the bullet and reluctantly come in, sitting down next to Grandma Qin. Qin Yi remained calm and composed.

Chen Qianlan sat next to Grandma Qin. Jiang Baiyuan put his things away, came back and promptly poured Chen Qianlan a glass of water, then sat down next to her, quickly bringing the two closer.

Jiang Baiyuan wore a smug smile. Chen Qianlan's unexpected arrival had perfectly complemented his plan. He wished she could come every day.

He can come and chat with Grandma Qin every day, and when the old lady is in a good mood, she will have fewer illnesses.

Compared to Jiang Baiyuan's excitement, Chen Qianlan looked reluctant. If Grandma Qin hadn't been holding her back, she might have gotten up and left.

Su Wan glanced knowingly at Qin Yi, but the latter remained indifferent.

She only learned that Chen Qianlan was Qin Yi's cousin after she returned from the hospital that day. The two of them had the same cold appearance, no wonder they were cousins.

Chen Qianlan has a beautiful but cold appearance. When she doesn't smile, she looks very serious, giving people a feeling of keeping them at arm's length.

Su Wan didn't know if she had always been like this, or if she started to become like this after the divorce, or if this was only directed at Jiang Baiyuan.

However, with such a beauty in his heart, it's no wonder that Jiang Baiyuan was so indifferent to the girl's pursuit, wishing he could keep her at arm's length.

When you encounter one truly amazing person, everyone else just seems average.

Judging from Chen Qianlan's attitude, Jiang Baiyuan's road to winning her back will likely be long and arduous.

Su Wan mentally judged the two siblings as a pair of fake friends; they both had the same way of doing things, and neither cared about the other's life or death.

Or perhaps Qin Yi also wants to give Chen Qianlan and Jiang Baiyuan a chance?

Grandma Qin waved happily at Su Wan: "Wanwan, come here, this is your sister."

Su Wan smiled and called out, "Sister." She walked over and sat down on the other side of Grandma Qin.

Chen Qianlan smiled and said, "Wanwan, I've wanted to come see you for a long time. Now you know where I work, so come visit me when you have time."

"Okay, okay."

Women's friendships are often built on just one small thing. The three women started discussing Grandma Qin's clothes. After talking for a while, Su Wan slapped her forehead and said, "I think I can get a batch of fabric to make clothes. Sister, didn't you see? Those fabrics are so beautiful."

Chen Qianlan immediately chimed in, "Really? Then you must bring some in last night. I need to make two sets of clothes too. I'm so tired of wearing work clothes all the time that I don't even know what I look like in casual clothes anymore."

"The work clothes look good too," Jiang Baiyuan suddenly remarked.

Chen Qianlan turned around and glared at him. Jiang Baiyuan shrank back and shut his mouth. Grandma Qin looked at Chen Qianlan's angry expression, patted her hand, and pretended to be angry: "You child, why are you so fierce to Baiyuan!"

Chen Qianlan turned around, awkwardly avoiding looking at Jiang Baiyuan. She knew that this man was doing it on purpose.

But ultimately, it was impossible for them.

She didn't want to give him any unnecessary misunderstandings or cause him to have inappropriate thoughts.

I didn't want to hold him back.

After that, no matter what Jiang Baiyuan said, Chen Qianlan didn't say another word to him, as if he wasn't even there.

Qin Yi glanced at him sympathetically. The two men went outside to smoke, and Jiang Baiyuan looked utterly hopeless.

Recently, he has been trying to ambush Chen Qianlan, but she refuses to see him every time. Now, there's practically a sign outside Chen Qianlan's office that says, "Jiang Baiyuan and dogs are not allowed near her."

He was so worried that his hair turned white.

"Old Qin, do you think your sister is really that heartless? She really won't talk to me anymore?"

Qin Yi exhaled a smoke ring and called out the title Jiang Baiyuan had longed for: "Brother-in-law."

Jiang Baiyuan grinned instantly, his eyes narrowing into slits with laughter. He straightened his clothes, made sure he looked neat and energetic, and confidently strode into the house.
