“Dang—”
The cat ball inlaid with bells fell to the ground, and the crisp sound of the bells woke Yu Ci up.
He suddenly stood up and took a step back, looking at Shi Jin as if he had seen a ghost.
What a close call! He almost fell into the trap!
When he looked at Shi Jin just now, he actually had the urge to kiss her. This must be a beauty trap.
If he had really kissed her just now, maybe Zhong Ling would have packed him up and sent him to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register immediately.
The ancients were not deceiving me. Beauty can mislead people.
The action of putting down the bowl paused slightly.
His brows slightly furrowed, with some doubt in his eyes: "You..."
Yu Ci took another step back.
Shi Jin looked at her clothes, pursed her lips, and drooped her long eyelashes: "It's me... Is there something wrong?"
The young man's thin body was wrapped in a black nightgown, his face was pale and sickly, his dark eyelashes drooped, revealing an inexplicable sense of grievance.
Yu Ci felt his heart ache for a moment, but he quickly pinched his thigh and forcefully turned his gaze away from Shi Jin's face: "Don't waste your efforts."
"If you don't do these things--" Yu Ci glanced at him quickly, and when his eyes touched Shi Jin, he looked away as if he had been electrocuted: "If you act normal, we can still be roommates."
Shi Jin frowned.
What is he talking about?
The black kitten jumped onto the stool lightly, spit out the cat ball inlaid with bells, looked around with its bright yellow eyes, curled its tail, and sat upright to watch the show.
Yu Ci scratched his nose, looked left and right, up and down, and seemed to have just realized how beautiful his living room was.
At the same time, he was also despising himself in his heart.
He was clearly in the right, so why did he now act as if he was the one who was guilty?
But even though he thought about it, Yu Ci still didn't dare to go to see Shi Jin at this time.
Maybe it was the aftereffect of last night's heart-scare, his heart started beating wildly whenever he saw Shi Jin.
It’s better not to watch it.
The stalemate was finally broken by a phone call.
Yu Ci breathed a sigh of relief, said "Remember to take your medicine" and ran away.
Shi Jin glanced at the phone on the table and pursed his lips.
No caller ID.
Who will call him?
Shi Jin lowered his eyelids and answered the phone.
"Hello."
"Shi Jin, I'm Qin Mo."
Shi Jin's eyes turned cold instantly, and his finger moved to the red hang-up button, and was about to press it -
"If you don't want me to go straight to your sister, I advise you not to hang up the phone."
The fingertips paused.
Shi Jin restrained his expression and said, "I wonder what Master Qin wants to see me for."
The person on the other end seemed to see his expression through the phone. He was not surprised by his behavior, but also expressed dissatisfaction: "Shi Jin, you should call me grandpa."
Shi Jin's eyes turned colder, and he repeated, "I don't know what the Qin family leader wants to see me for."
Qin Mo frowned on the other side of the phone, with some anger in his eyes.
He has been in a high position for many years, and except for his disappointing daughter, no one has dared to ignore him directly over the years.
Should we say that they are worthy of being mother and son?
The old butler beside him poured him a cup of tea and reminded him softly: "Master..."
Qin Mo suppressed his dissatisfaction and said to the phone: "Shi Jin, let's go out and talk."
"I don't think there's anything to discuss with you."
“If it’s about—” Qin Mo threw away the lid of the teacup. The fine blue and white porcelain cup lid spun twice on the table and finally fell on the thick carpeted floor with a dull sound.
The dignified middle-aged man at the table raised his eyes. Even though his hair was white and wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, he still looked young. "What about the inheritance rights of the Qin family?"
“Beep, beep, beep—”
The answer he got was the merciless sound of the phone being hung up.
“Pah—”
Qin Mo was so angry that he broke a teacup: "How dare you."
"Does he think I have to be him? If Xiao hadn't gotten into trouble, would he have gotten the chance to take over my huge Qin family?"
When the old butler heard the master mention the eldest young master, a trace of sadness appeared on his old face.
The eldest son has been gifted since childhood. He has always been the best in both studying and being a person, and has never caused any worries to the master.
Even if he joined Qin's after graduation, he would manage the company in an orderly manner, but God is jealous of talented people...
The old housekeeper looked at the master's hair, which had turned mostly white in just a few days, and sighed: "Master, there are still a few branches of the Qin family..."
"impossible!"
Qin Mo interrupted him directly: "My Qin family's property will never be divided by outsiders."
The old butler was not surprised.
If the master was willing to let the Qin family's side branch inherit the Qin family, he would not have gone to the eldest lady's child.
You know, when the eldest lady broke with the Qin family because of that poor painter, the eldest lady's name became a taboo in the Qin family, and no one was allowed to mention it.
If the Cheng and Yu families had not been watching from the side, and if the Qin Group had not been in a panic because of the accident of the eldest son, the master might not have found the child so quickly.
The old butler glanced outside the door.
The servant with a broom and mop came in quietly, cleaned up the broken cups and tea on the carpet, and then left quietly.
The old butler stood beside Qin Mo, his equally old waist slightly bent, his voice was very peaceful, and his many years of experience in the Qin family made him know what to do to better stabilize Qin Mo's emotions.
"Master, the eldest son is gone." "I know." Qin Mo's back slightly arched, and the former head of the Qin family, who was once a powerful figure in the business world, seemed to have turned back into a sixty-year-old man overnight: "I know."
The person at the table sighed, and for the first time after hearing the news, he couldn't help but tear up: "Ah Xiao is gone."
The old butler also had a hunched back and red eyes.
"Ah Sheng."
The old butler lowered his head: "Master, I'm here."
"Please check his information for me."
"yes."
In the empty study, a faint sigh was heard after a while.
"I can't just sit there and watch the Qin family's century-old foundation disappear."
"It ended up in my hands."
——
"hiss--"
The doctor wearing a mask removed the gauze covering the wound and took a breath involuntarily when he saw the white wound.
She threw away the removed gauze and stared at the wound with a frown: "Your wound has come into contact with water, right?"
Perhaps because the wound was well cared for, it did not become inflamed, but the edges of the incision were turned white by blisters, and it was really horrifying to see the blood and flesh flying around.
Shi Jin pursed her lips and nodded: "I sweated at night and took a shower in the morning."
The doctor was typing away on the computer, prescribing medicine. He frowned and lectured him, "Your wound cannot come into contact with water. You're lucky it didn't get inflamed this time, but you can't be sure about it next time."
The printer swishes out the paper.
The doctor took out the paper and stuffed it into the medical record. He looked at Shi Jin's pale face, frowned, but his tone softened a little: "If you take good care of it, this wound will not leave a scar. If you mess around again, I will send you directly to get stitches next time I change the dressing."
Shi Yi, who was waiting on the side, took the medical record card from the doctor and said, "Okay, okay, I will definitely supervise him well. Thank you, doctor."
Shi Jin stood up: "Thank you, doctor."
The doctor was busy looking at the computer and just waved his hand casually: "Go to the pharmacy to get the medicine and then ask the nurse to change the medicine. Don't touch the water."
The two walked out of the clinic.
Shi Yi took Shi Jin's medical record card and got angry when he saw the white cover: "Look at you, you are really good enough to do this for this book."
A nurse was coming towards us pushing a bed.
Shi Jin slightly moved aside and waited until the bed passed by before speaking: "I'm fine."
"Nothing's wrong." Shi Yi wanted to hit him on the head with the medical record card: "I'm not blind. I was next door when the doctor checked you just now. I saw your wound clearly."
Shi Jin pursed her lips and changed the subject: "Where is the pharmacy?"
"It's just around the corner." Shi Yi answered and then began to mutter: "He was holding a knife, but you rushed up recklessly just because he knocked your book into a puddle when he was running away. See, you're injured, right? Do you feel the pain?"
Go around the corner and the pharmacy is just ahead.
Shi Yi glanced at the queue at the pharmacy and pushed Shi Jin to the waiting chair beside him: "Wait here for me, I'll get you the medicine."
Before Shi Jin had the time to refuse, Shi Yi ran away with the medical record card.
He pursed his lips and looked at the figure at the end of the team not far away, with a hint of warmth in his eyes.
A man sat down beside him.
"Master Shi Jin."
The voice coming from the side of his ear made Shi Jin's expression slightly cold.
The man didn't notice his expression change and introduced himself: "Master Shi Jin, the head of the Qin family wants you to meet him at noon."
Shi Jin lowered his eyes, his raven-black eyelashes hiding the coldness in his eyes: "What if I say no."
The man raised his wrist and checked the time: "It's 9 o'clock in the morning."
"It should be two o'clock in the morning, Miss. Although calling at this time may disturb Miss's rest, I believe Miss will not mind."
"Place."
The man handed over a business card with satisfaction: "It's the address on the business card."
Wolong Teahouse.
"I'll go." Shi Jin glanced at the business card and didn't take it: "You can go now."
The man did not argue and simply stood up: "Then I will wait for your arrival on behalf of the head of the family."
"Little ancestor, I got the medicine—" Shi Yi ran back with the medicine. Seeing the man in a suit standing next to Shi Jin, he was stunned for a moment and looked at Shi Jin: "Uh, who is this?"
Shi Jin stood up, without looking at the man: "I was just passing by."
"Oh oh." Shi Yi didn't ask any further questions after hearing that, but just looked at the man twice more.
This guy is dressed like an insurance salesman. Could he really be an insurance salesman?
Thinking of this, Shi Yi quickly turned his head and said, "Don't buy any random insurance. The publishing house has bought it for you. You don't have to worry about it. Be careful not to get cheated."
"Also, now..."
Shi Yi kept repeating this all the way to the clinic where the dressing was changed.
It was not until the nurse who was changing Shi Jin's dressing couldn't stand his nagging anymore and asked him to wait outside that he reluctantly left the clinic.
“Huh—” The nurse who was applying medicine to Shi Jin breathed a sigh of relief and made a joke: “Your friend’s nagging skills are comparable to my mother’s.”
Shi Jin also curved his eyebrows: "Well, he talks a little too much."
"It's more than a lot." The nurse smiled and said, "I think his saliva is about to flood our clinic."
"Alright." The nurse in charge of bandaging also smiled. She steadily tied the gauze into a bow and straightened her back. "This is also a sign of concern for the patient. It's normal."
She put the dressing powder and gauze into two bags and handed them to Shi Jin: "Change the dressing every two days, and don't let the wound come into contact with water."
"If you don't mind the trouble, you can come to the hospital to change the dressing." The nurse packed up the changed gauze and said, "If there is someone at home who can help you change it, you can change it yourself at home."
Shi Jin took the bag and nodded: "Thank you."
