Chapter 61: Fairy Cousin



Chapter 61 Fairy Cousin

Qin Lang brought the doctor and rushed to see Pei Jian.

Who would have thought that the man who was half-dead before had now stood up, sitting cross-legged, facing the window where the sun was setting in the west, his back motionless, desolate, as if he was in a daze.

"Shi Zhang?"

Qin Lang called him.

Pei Jian shook his head and turned around.

Ignoring his swollen and pale face, he seemed to have turned back into the deep-minded and ambitious Pei Shizhang of the past. He looked at Qin Lang with serious eyes, paused, and asked in a low voice:

"Why are you here?"

It can be seen that he is still sick and confused!

Qin Lang had come here before and talked to him, but he had no idea.

Qin Lang motioned the doctor to come forward and said, "You are so old, but you don't know how to take care of yourself. You are so sick, but you don't allow Manager Li to go and ask for a doctor. What can people say about you?"

Pei Jian kept silent and cooperated with the doctor in the consultation. After the doctor went down to prescribe medicine, he nodded to Qin Lang and said, "Thank you very much. Thank you for your help."

Pei Jian is not someone who easily exposes his vulnerability. He is more resolute than anyone else, unless he is truly heartbroken.

Qin Lang opened his mouth to admonish him, but before he could open his mouth, Pei Jian stopped him, "It's getting late, I won't keep you any longer. I'll come to thank you another day."

Pei Jian obviously anticipated what he wanted to say.

Qin Lang swallowed his sigh and told Pei Jian that Nian Xi was also in the clinic just now, accompanying Gu Ci to see a doctor, and she didn't pay any attention to him at all.

With Pei Jian's personality, he was determined to stick to his path to the end, and he couldn't be persuaded even if he talked his mouth off.

So without further ado, "Okay, I'll come see you tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, the surroundings returned to silence. Pei Jian, needless to say, was a man of few words, and even the servants who came and went moved very quietly, making no sound.

It seemed as if the entire courtyard was shrouded in a deep loneliness.

On the way back, his mood was inevitably affected. Qin Lang shook his head, trying to dispel the depression in his heart. He was always optimistic and cheerful. Just as he was thinking this, he ran into Xu Wanxin at the end of the street.

Xu Wanxin was just coming out of a shop. When she saw him, she was stunned at first, then she smiled softly and said, "Are you my cousin's friend, Qin Langjun? I've heard my cousin talk about you."

Qin Lang had heard of Pei Jian's cousin Xu, but had little contact with her.

In Qin Lang's heart, such a beautiful, weak and infatuated woman is no worse than a fairy in heaven.

It is the greatest manifestation of a man's charm.

He was very envious and wished he could have such a beautiful cousin, even if her appearance, figure, or family background were inferior.

In this way, Pei Jian really does not know how to appreciate what he has.

In his opinion, cousin Xu was no worse than his sister in every aspect. Most importantly, when she mentioned Pei Jian, the tenderness in her eyes almost overflowed. She was not as cold and chilling as his sister.

Although liking someone is a very personal matter, it is an indisputable fact that Nianxi caused the two brothers to become enemies.

Qin Lang is just a mortal with human nature and biased minds, so it is inevitable that he will feel resentment towards Nian Xi and prefer the gentle cousin Xu.

So he said, "It just so happens that I just came out of Shi Zhang's house. He is seriously ill and there is no one to take care of him at home..."

Xu Wanxin was visibly nervous and concerned. She clenched her handkerchief tightly and asked repeatedly, "Is my cousin sick? Have you seen a doctor? My cousin has always been in good health. How could he fall ill out of nowhere?"

After asking a series of questions, a bit of embarrassment appeared on her face, "I am confused because I care too much. I lost my composure. I am sorry to make you laugh, Mr. Qin."

Qin Lang was very satisfied with her reaction. Doesn't Pei Jian need such a considerate and caring lady to accompany him right now?

"Of course not." Qin Lang waved his hands and smiled, "I have already examined him, but he is seriously ill and has a fever. I have to be on duty tomorrow, so it is difficult for me to take care of him..."

In fact, the Pei Mansion still had servants, so Pei Jian was not so pitiful that no one took care of him. But at this time, it was natural to exaggerate.

As expected, Xu Wanxin's face gradually became more worried, with her thin eyebrows furrowed and a handkerchief tied in her hand. After a moment, she spoke, "I am free, but... I am worried that my cousin will be unhappy and blame me for taking the initiative."

"That won't happen."

Hearing that she was willing to take care of Pei Jian, Qin Lang almost patted his chest and promised, "I asked you to take care of him. If Pei Shizhang really doesn't know what's good for him and blames me, just ask him to come find me!"

When a person is sick, his heart is the most vulnerable. Cousin Xu came close to him at this time, caring for him tenderly and taking good care of him. He didn't believe that Pei Jian's heart was made of stone and he would not be moved at all.

It would be best to turn back from the wrong path and live happily with your cousin.

In this case, brothers are still brothers, lovers are different, and both benefit from it. Isn't it perfect?

Qin Lang increasingly felt that he was extremely intelligent, selfless, and dedicated to helping those in need, and that he was indeed a rare mentor and helpful friend.

"It's settled then!"

Xu Wanxin nodded, her cheeks unconsciously blushing, making her look even more charming, "My cousin has moved to a new place, I don't know where he lives now."

Qin Lang secretly cursed Pei Jian in his heart for being so ungrateful and having such a lucky life, while smiling and telling him the location.

After saying goodbye to Xu Wanxin, all his sorrows disappeared, as if he had seen Gu Ci and Pei Jian shake hands and make peace. He returned home with a satisfied heart.

After Xu Wanxin and the others had gone far away, she relaxed her brows and turned her head to instruct the maid, "Go back and get the newly made sixteen-pleated purple skirt ironed. I will wear it tomorrow. My cousin is ill, and seeing some bright colors will make him feel better."

"yes."

The sun sets and the evening clouds merge into one.

Xu Wanxin raised her head, looked at the magnificent sunset in the sky, and smiled gently and beautifully.

How could she not know where her cousin lived? Otherwise, she would not have "happened" to meet Mr. Qin.

She was precocious since childhood. While other children were playing and crying, she had already learned to be a little lady, waiting to grow up quickly so that she could marry her beloved cousin.

Unfortunately, bad luck.

Her cousin's parents died early, and she didn't have the chance to comfort and accompany them. Fortunately, she fell in love with the tall and handsome boy, and her short-sighted father called off the marriage.

No matter how she cried and protested, it was of no avail.

At that time, her parents thought she was just a child and would forget about Pei Jian after some time.

But they were all wrong.

Xu Wanxin watched her cousin become more and more outstanding and attractive year after year, growing from a teenager into a resolute and elegant young man, relying not on external forces such as clan title but only on himself, and the love in her heart also grew year after year.

She dared not stop, and practiced music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, singing, needlework... She was known for her intelligence among the ladies in the city.

She wanted her cousin to see her dazzling self as well.

From childhood to adulthood, Xu Wanxin's goal has never changed - to marry her beloved cousin.

But a girl named Wen suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and she messed with her cousin's heart and disrupted her plans.

The first time she met Wen Nianxi, she had a subtle, womanly heart that refused to admit defeat.

Seeing how Wen Nianxi effortlessly attracted the attention of all Qushui Langjun just by standing there casually and smiling... She could still comfort herself that these superficial men only looked at the appearance and had no substance at all.

It was not until her beloved cousin fixed his eyes on Wen Nianxi without blinking that she felt a real sense of crisis.

She clearly felt that a seed of jealousy had fallen into her heart, quickly took root, sprouted, and bore fatal fruits.

How could she allow Wen Nianxi to get something that she didn't even have?

It's a pity that Wen Nianxi was too timid and was wary of her approaching again and again.

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter, the most she has is patience.

Before getting on the carriage, Xu Wanxin took a last look at the rosy clouds in the sky. Tomorrow would be another good day.
