"Having lost your mother, I have nothing left to lose in this life, so compared to others who are timid and hesitant, I seem fearless."

Qin Ming watched Qin Jun recount his past with a calm and detached demeanor, as if he were talking about someone else's story.

Only those who hear it know what kind of situation he was facing at the time.

Xia Lan also felt great respect for Qin Ming.

People who are not afraid of death are the truly ruthless ones.

Qin Youyou and Qin Mo stood beside Xia Lan, staring intently at Qin Ming on the bed.

"What's wrong? Is my face dirty?"

Noticing Qin Youyou and Qin Mo's gazes, Qin Ming touched his face, wondering if there was something dirty on it.

Will Grandpa become like you when he gets old?

Qin Youyou glanced at Qin Jun, then at Qin Ming.

Qin Ming had more white hair than Qin Jun, it was all snow-white, and he had more wrinkles on his face.

However, his fierce eyes and indifferent demeanor were very similar to Qin Jun's.

"I think so..."

Qin Ming stroked his chin, looking at Qin Youyou's curious expression. The younger members of the family dared not look him in the eye.

Qin Youyou and Qin Mo stared straight at him, genuinely unafraid of him at all.

"Then will you hit us?"

Qin Youyou walked up to Qin Ming, sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at Qin Ming, and asked.

"Why would I need you?"

Qin Ming was taken aback.

"That's what people say! My great-grandfather was very fierce and would hit people with a stick."

“I don’t have a biological great-grandfather, but Great-Grandpa Du never hit me, and he would even secretly buy me snacks…”

Qin Youyou looked at Qin Ming, her eyes clearly conveying a suggestive meaning.

"You want me to buy you snacks?"

Qin Ming's lips curled into a smile. What a bold girl.

She dared to ask him to buy her snacks.

"I didn't say that! I was talking about my great-grandfather, Mr. Du!"

Qin Youyou blinked; she hadn't said that.

"Well, my mom and grandma both received gifts, what about me and Yuanyuan?"

"You wouldn't be so stingy as to not prepare anything for us, would you?"

Qin Youyou looked around, her small eyes darting about.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Qin Ming laughed loudly.

The butler quickly said.

"Young Miss and Young Master, the snacks have been prepared long ago."

Just as the housekeeper was about to take Qin Youyou away, Xia Lan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Qin Youyou.

"Oh."

Qin Youyou was happily jumping out of bed, ready to follow the housekeeper to enjoy her meal, when she heard Xia Lan's cold laugh and felt a chill run down her spine.

"Hehe...Mom, this is a gift from Great-Grandpa to us..."

Qin Youyou blinked, her eyes filled with longing.

"Go ahead and eat it. Next time you have a toothache, just go get it pulled."

Xia Lan gave Qin Youyou a faint smile.

Thinking about how she had secretly eaten snacks and then suffered a toothache in the middle of the night, which kept her awake all night, Qin Youyou's smile disappeared.

"Mom, you're a devil!"

Qin Youyou pouted, instantly losing interest in the snacks.

"I'm just kindly reminding you that after my last toothache experience, a kid promised me he wouldn't overdo it again."

Xia Lan chuckled and gave her instructions.

“Your great-grandfather brought you snacks, and I didn’t tell you to refuse. But everything has its limits. You’ve experienced the consequences of going too far.”

"...Yes, my teeth hurt."

Qin Youyou pursed her lips. The toothache wasn't extremely painful, but it made her unable to do anything and felt uncomfortable all over.

It's incredibly torturous.

"Just be aware of the consequences!"

Xia Lan chuckled softly and then fell silent.

Qin Youyou glanced at Qin Mo, who shrugged.

"Eat a little less, you won't starve to death."

Qin Mo wasn't particularly interested in snacks, and even if he ate some, he would still train extra that day, so he didn't feel any anxiety.

"All right."

Qin Youyou pouted, and the two followed the butler out of the room.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Seeing Qin Youyou like this, Qin Ming couldn't help but laugh.

Watching Xia Lan educate her children, she didn't use authority but treated the two children like friends, calmly telling them what would happen if they ate too many snacks. Qin Ming found it very novel.

"No wonder they're so lovable, you've taught them very well!"

Qin Ming strongly agreed with Xia Lan's parenting methods.

“They were all afraid of me, but these two children were not afraid of me at all, and even dared to look me in the eye.”

Qin Ming looked at Xia Lan; he had seen her information.

I thought she was just an ordinary woman, but after meeting her in person, I realized what it meant to be all talk and no action.

She and he were not the same kind of people at all.

Xia Lan smiled slightly at Qin Ming.

"You're not some jackal or tiger."

"Besides, with Dad and Brother Yu around, they are the two kids' source of confidence."

Xia Lan's words made Qin Jun and Qin Yu's lips curl into a slight smile, and they silently straightened their chests.

This is the source of confidence for family members.

With them around, they won't be in danger.

"good."

Qin Ming's eyes gleamed.

"You two chat, let's go find those two little guys."

Knowing they had something to talk about, Xiao Yuqin led Xia Lan outside. Xia Lan nodded to Qin Ming and followed Xiao Yuqin out.

As soon as the two stepped out of the room, they felt gazes from all directions.

Few of these people were well-intentioned; they looked at Xia Lan and Xiao Yuqin with disdain, as if they were poor relatives coming to the city to beg for money.
