Because Ruan Qing'an had stayed up all night watching over Qin Xi, she couldn't get a good rest even when she was lying down to sleep. Qin Xi practically forced Ruan Qing'an to go back to the bedroom to rest, and watched her close the door with bated breath before turning away.

But as soon as he turned his back, Qin Xi's smile vanished instantly.

Cold, indifferent, and ruthless.

Qin Xi looked down at his phone, which displayed the surveillance footage from the Qin family villa. He chuckled, "Hmm, I need to prepare a big gift for my father and brother."

Inside the door, Ruan Qing'an narrowed his leaden-gray eyes and chuckled softly.

037: [With a male lead, I can rest easy!]

"What are you thinking about, little system?"

Ruan Qing'an scoffed: "Back then, the Qin family rose to prominence because Qin Cheng disregarded his son Qin Xi's health and exploited his talent. When he gets old, the Qin family and the company will definitely be given to Qin Xi, but he is reluctant to let go now."

"Qin Cheng is only middle-aged, but he can still make a name for himself. By using Qin Xi as a tool, he can achieve great things in his career."

037 paused for a moment: [So, in that case...]

“I have too much influence on Qin Xi, he won’t let me off the hook.”

Ruan Qing'an murmured to herself as she lay on the bed, a cryptic smile playing in her eyes—in the past, she would have taken care of it herself, but things were different now.

Qin Xi is really angry.

...

By the afternoon, Qin Cheng was sitting on the sofa in the living room. He had unusually stayed at the Qin family villa instead of going to the company, but he was still restless.

"This Ruan Qingan..."

He was really worried about Qin Xi's condition.

He was reluctant to give up Qin Xi because the giant company relied entirely on the database Qin Xi had built and his incredible hacking skills. That was the advantage of using Qin Xi as a tool.

So, just as Ruan Qing'an thought, Qin Cheng wanted to continue to work hard in his career and continue to use Qin Xi as a tool until he got old and could no longer do it, and then hand it over to Qin Xi to manage.

Just then, Qin Xi suddenly came down from the second floor, strolled over and sat down in front of Qin Cheng. Seeing his calm and composed demeanor, Qin Cheng was stunned.

Qin Cheng was silent for a moment: "Qin Xi, how are you feeling?"

"I'll say it again, Father, as long as you're alive, you won't die."

Qin Xi answered in a lighthearted tone, like a young man with a youthful spirit, and his smile was bright and sunny.

These words left Qin Cheng speechless for a moment. After all, although he knew that it was his indulgence of Xu Ling'er that led to Qin Xi's accident, how could he possibly apologize to his son?

Qin Cheng remained silent for a moment, then said, "Xu Ling'er performed terribly this time. Although she was recommended by her teacher, Professor Robert, she was still dismissed directly—"

"etc."

Qin Xi suddenly interrupted, her smile unwavering: "Father, please stay. After all, Dr. Xu has been treating me diligently."

Looking at Qin Xi's smile, Qin Cheng was completely confused for a moment.

He actually wants to keep Xu Ling'er as a psychologist?!

Even Xu Ling'er was worried about this, after all, this was the first patient she had treated. If she was dismissed like this, Professor Robert would no longer want to acknowledge her as his student.

Qin Chengdu wanted to point at Qin Xi and ask him if he was sick.

Oh wait, he actually is sick.

But Qin Xi ignored him and simply said, "Stay."

Qin Cheng paused: "Never mind, never mind, you're my therapist."

Upon hearing Qin Cheng's reply, Qin Xi's dark dog-like eyes curved into a smile, appearing quite obedient and showing no sign of malevolence.

His sister had told him that if he didn't want treatment, he could give up, but medication was necessary to stabilize his condition. Even Qin Xi himself knew the state of his body, and if the illness recurred, he would suffer. Unfortunately, Ruan Qing'an didn't have prescription rights and couldn't prescribe medication.

In the past, Qin Xi wouldn't have bothered eating; he'd rather die than live, since living was painful anyway.

But now, he still wants to hear what the con artist sister has to say.

Qin Xi stood up, yawning lazily, his dark circles still visible: "Oh, right, Father, there's one more thing."

"Hmm? Go ahead and tell me."

Qin Cheng raised an eyebrow. He didn't really like Qin Xi like this. It was better when she was in her room fiddling with her own things. When there was work to be done at the company, Qin Xi could simply become a tool to complete it.

Qin Xi simply said, "Oh, my brother hasn't been thinking very well lately, so I'm going to get him some treatment; he really needs it."

"After all, Dr. Xu, who treated me, was brought by him."

Qin Cheng was even more troubled: "Qin Xi, I know you must be angry because of Dr. Xu's treatment, which caused your accident. I'm going to fire her, but why don't you agree?"

"Qin Yue meant well, why are you taking your anger out on him?"

Qin Cheng really didn't want the two brothers, Qin Yue and Qin Xi, to quarrel, as they had lived peacefully together for so many years.

But Qin Xi didn't give Qin Cheng a chance to refuse: "I do have a mental illness, Father, but I'm not mentally challenged. I know in my heart whether it's him or not. Just don't interfere."

"We're all brothers, don't ruin our friendship..."

Qin Cheng rarely saw Qin Xi with such a strong attitude. He had forced Qin Xi to work for free for so many years without Qin Xi objecting. Now it seemed that Qin Xi had been corrupted by Ruan Qing'an!

Qin Xi had no interest in continuing the conversation and turned to leave: "Last time, when I asked you, Father, to help bankrupt the Jincheng Casino, I threatened you by saying I would delay helping you find dirt on your rival company."

"Father, guess what it is this time?"

He said it casually, but his smile remained.

Looking at Qin Xi's retreating figure, Qin Cheng felt a chill run down his spine. Qin Xi was already showing signs of becoming the head of the family, but...

Before Qin Cheng could figure it out, his phone suddenly rang.

The voice on the other end of the phone was that of a middle-aged man: "Mr. Qin, regarding your previous inquiry about making a will, could we come to your home to discuss it in detail? Although we didn't reach an agreement at the time—"

The man over there was talking incessantly.

Qin Cheng's mood plummeted instantly. Who else could be behind this? It could only be Qin Xi, because only his skills could impersonate Qin Cheng and contact a lawyer.

This time it's about making a will, will it be ready next time?!

Qin Cheng felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He sat on the sofa, his expression shifting unpredictably, unsure of how to react. After a long while, he finally sighed, "A barking dog doesn't bite."

He's seen through it all.

After years of slacking off, Qin Xi suddenly made a thunderous move.
