Huo Zhixing on the other end of the phone smirked smugly.
Laughter from Jiang Can and her brother could be heard coming from the living room.
He looked inside and saw several young maids surrounding Yin Cheng, offering her milk tea and snacks, taking exceptionally good care of her.
The maids' eyes were shining.
Huo Zhixing chuckled. Yin Cheng was indeed different from before. He remembered that back then, Yin Cheng was a little boy who had been bullied at school. He would come to his sister's house crying in the middle of the night to complain, and in the end, it was his brother-in-law who had to stand up for him.
Now, he is the rightful heir of the Yin family.
Yin Ruohong taught him and guided him step by step, paving the way for him. He himself lived up to expectations and showed outstanding medical talent at a young age.
Not only did he graduate from medical school two years early, but he also mastered pharmaceuticals and acupuncture very quickly.
Now, he exudes an aura simply by sitting there, and every move he makes carries the air of a great man.
"Honey!" Jiang Can smiled and beckoned him over. "Xiao Cheng is coming to visit me this time and will be staying for a few more days. She also wants to attend a lecture by a professor at the medical school here!"
“No problem,” Huo Zhixing said gently. “Xiao Cheng, this is your home. Stay as long as you want! If you go to the hospital, I’ll send a driver and bodyguards with you.”
"No need for that!" Yin Cheng smiled. "I can take the bus myself. Besides, I want to explore this city! I've come all this way, so I should at least take a good look around! By the way, I heard that Brother Xin has had some luck with women here?"
"What, you also want to go to that square and bump into a gypsy girl?"
Yin Cheng couldn't help but be teased, and her face immediately turned red.
"Alright, stop joking with him!" Jiang Can chuckled. "Xiao Cheng also brought a lot of medicine and supplements, all prepared by his parents."
There was a small box on the table, filled with drugs developed by the Yin family.
Jiang Can flipped through the bottles and noticed a few that were specifically marked as being for Huo Zhixing. Yin Ruohong was worried that Huo Zhixing's post-crash syndrome might relapse, so she brought a few more bottles with her.
Huo Zhixing was deeply gratified; his father-in-law still cared about him.
"Oh right, sister!" Yin Cheng remembered, "Mom and Dad asked me to pass on a message to you."
"What?"
"Hmm... Dad said that even if I become the heir, the Yin family business will still have half of yours. And your half will be more than mine!"
"this……"
Jiang Can was somewhat at a loss.
Although they are siblings, they still feel awkward when it comes to such matters of personal interest.
Having witnessed too much intrigue and backstabbing among relatives in the Huo and Fu families, Jiang Can cherished this hard-won family bond and did not want to discuss the topic any further.
On the contrary, Yin Cheng smiled magnanimously: "Sister, there's nothing to be embarrassed about! I agree with Dad's decision. Besides, in our Southeast Asia, girls are more precious than boys in the family!"
Huo Zhixing was stunned. He hadn't expected that there was still a tradition of valuing women over men over there.
Jiang Can smiled and tugged at Xiao Cheng's ear, just like when they were little.
“Dad also said,” Yin Cheng continued, “that you shouldn’t be afraid of Huo Zhixing, that your family will back you up if anything happens, and that if he dares to bully you…”
Huo Zhixing immediately perked up his ears.
Yin Cheng is a straightforward person, and he doesn't mince words. He directly took out the silver needles from his pocket.
"Dad taught me that if he dares to bully you, I'll stab him to death with a needle!"
"Cough cough cough..."
Huo Zhixing choked on a mouthful of juice.
Jiang Can quickly patted his back, giving Yin Cheng a reproachful look, "Why are you talking so much!"
"Sister?" Yin Cheng was puzzled. He was clearly saying his father's exact words!
"Honey, are you alright?"
"It's alright, it's alright..."
Jiang Can quickly poured him a glass of water to rinse his throat.
Yin Cheng shrugged and decided to put the silver needles away.
Sigh, he told his dad before he came that his brother-in-law was his sister's darling, and his sister would never prick him with a needle.
Dad just wouldn't believe it!
See? The older sister got so nervous when someone choked on water!
Yin Cheng smiled, made an excuse that he needed to adjust to the time difference and go to sleep, and quickly slipped away.
Huo Zhixing calmed down, looked at Jiang Can, and almost laughed.
"I didn't expect my father-in-law to be so ruthless?"
"Yes," Jiang Can said, patting his back, "His silver needle technique has a successor!"
Huo Zhixing suddenly thought of something—Yin Cheng was also proficient in medicine, which might come in handy.
"Honey," Jiang Can nestled into his arms like a lazy cat, "I'm sleepy."
"Then let's go back to our room and sleep."
"But I don't want to leave..."
"Okay," he readily agreed to her request, "I'll hug you, honey!"
As he spoke, he picked Jiang Can up and carried her upstairs.
"Honey, since I met you, it feels like I don't need legs anymore!"
“That won’t do,” Huo Zhixing said softly. “There’s a time when we don’t need it, but there’s one time when we absolutely must.”
"when?"
"When you're unhappy," he said with a doting smile, "you can kick me hard!"
He thought it was a perfect answer and was feeling touched by the impressive speed at which his emotional intelligence had recently improved.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Can frowned and asked, "Honey, why do I sometimes feel unhappy?"
"..."
"What, do you think I'd be unhappy being with you?"
"..."
"Then why should I work with you?!"
"..." Huo Zhixing shut up and quickened his pace toward the bedroom.
"Tell me, tell me now! Why are you making me unhappy?"
"Huo Zhixing!"
Huo Zhixing realized that he had made a mistake by talking. Oh no, he had failed to get her to sleep during her afternoon nap. He had better get her to sleep as soon as possible!
...
Sun Meifen has been enjoying the treatment of an empress dowager at home these past few days.
Fu Chengwei ordered that no one in the family should displease his wife; otherwise, they would be kicked out of the house without any discussion.
Even Fu Qingyan has to be careful when she sees her mother.
That day, Sun Meifen had just finished drinking chicken soup when Fu Qingyan pushed open the door and came in, sat on the edge of her bed, crossed her arms, and looked at her strangely.
Sun Meifen wiped her mouth, looked up, and asked, "Why are you giving me that look?"
Fu Qingyan glanced at her stomach.
"It's just the two of us in the house now," she said coldly. "Mom, give me the truth, do you really want to give birth to this bastard?"
"Don't talk so rudely!" Sun Meifen was immediately enraged. "What bastard? This is your brother!"
"Ha!" Fu Qingyan shrieked, "Younger brother? His surname is Fu or Lü?"
"you……"
Sun Meifen's face turned deathly pale, and she subconsciously glanced towards the door.
The bedroom door was tightly closed, and there were no footsteps outside.
But she still gave Fu Qingyan a look, signaling her to watch her words.
"Mom, you've already done something like this, are you still afraid of being ashamed?"
"You stupid girl!" Sun Meifen gritted her teeth. "Why did I risk my life to protect this child? Wasn't it all for us, mother and daughter! How could you be so stupid, not understanding anything?!"
"For us?" Fu Qingyan really didn't understand what kind of game her mother was playing.
