Chapter 38
Qin Wenhao was beaten so badly he cried for his parents, but both sons were his flesh and blood, and Old Madam Qin couldn't bear to blame her grandson. So she dared not give her son any more money.
Old Madam Qin was old-fashioned and didn't know how to teach children. She was also not kind to Madam Qin, but her love for Qin Zhan for twenty years was genuine.
Qin Zhan is a human being with flesh and blood; he can't bring himself to hate her.
He could only treat his mother and grandmother fairly, and he would help whoever was right.
But in Madam Qin's eyes, he was wrong!
Especially after Wen Yunshu's death, Madam Qin's personality became increasingly extreme. Her own son did not join her in dealing with the old witch, and still treated her as his grandmother.
What's the point of having him?
They're all of the same Qin family bloodline, they're all no good!
Before Old Madam Qin died, Madam Qin deliberately prevented Qin Zhan from seeing her one last time.
She wanted to make sure the old hag died with her eyes wide open in disbelief.
Madam Qin never hid her vengeful nature!
However, this has widened the gap between the mother and son, until now, not even the last bit of affection remains.
All we can say is that Madam Qin suffered greatly, and so did Qin Zhan. Who is at fault? And who is not innocent?
The culprit is Qin Wenhao. He ruined Madam Qin and Qin Zhan, causing them to be trapped in a twisted family. The unsolvable conflict continues to deepen, and today the mother and son are like enemies.
...
Wen Xin didn't sleep well during her afternoon nap; she kept having dreams.
She dreamt of her carefree days in the Qin family before she turned eighteen, pampered by Qin Zhan like a princess.
Even though Old Madam Qin doted on Qin Zhan so much, she still had some reservations.
But Qin Zhan always managed to fool the old lady so much that she lost her bearings. It was only because of her grandfather that the old lady treated her well.
Wen Xin's biggest daily worry is that she can't do the exercises or does poorly on the tests.
However, this wasn't a big problem, as Qin Zhan would help her with her homework every night.
Although Qin Zhan is a problem student and a school bully, he has an exceptionally high IQ. He doesn't need to study much on weekdays, yet his grades far surpass those of other top students in the school. He is a big shot that people can only look up to and envy.
He wasn't very patient, yet every time he taught her how to do her homework, he displayed a gentle and considerate side that was completely different from his arrogant and aloof demeanor.
He would always carefully analyze the knowledge points for her when she encountered a problem, draw mind maps, and break down the problem so that she could absorb the information.
When she didn't do well on her exams, he would ride his bike to take her out for milk tea and barbecue, rubbing her head, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"It's your brother's fault for not reviewing the material properly. What did you do wrong?"
Wen Xin once told him with a bright smile, "Brother, I want to go to the same university as you."
Therefore, Qin Zhan, who completed her undergraduate studies ahead of schedule in two years, did not hesitate to reject the invitation from a prestigious foreign university and stayed at Peking University to pursue her master's degree.
However……
She stood me up!
Wen Xin dreamt that when he learned she had changed her college application, fallen in love with Li Qingchen, and wanted to follow her to H City, the pride in his eyes shattered, and his expression dimmed in a way that was heartbreaking.
At that moment, she completely ignored his pain, pushed his hand away, ignored his attempts to stop her, and heartlessly turned and left!
"Ah Xin!"
Wen Xin felt a tightness in her chest, as if the dream was suffocating her, and tears kept sliding down her tightly closed eyes.
She opened her eyes abruptly when she heard a familiar, gentle voice calling her name. Her head was throbbing and she felt extremely uncomfortable all over.
A pair of strong arms lifted her up, freeing her from the suffocating feeling of drowning.
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
Qin Zhan gently wiped away her tears, his deep, magnetic voice filled with concern and comfort, "Don't be afraid, dreams are just dreams."
Wen Xin leaned softly against his chest, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she pursed her lips pitifully, "Brother, I feel dizzy."
Qin Zhan massaged her temples, saying, "I've already asked someone to call a doctor. You'll feel better soon."
Wen Xin wanted to laugh as she listened to his words, which sounded like he was coaxing a child.
But his memory was still of him watching her leave, looking dejected and helpless.
Her nose stung with tears. "Brother, I'm sorry."
"Um?"
Qin Zhan lowered his head, his eyes overflowing with tender love, reflecting her shadow alone.
Wen Xin reached out and hugged his neck, buried her face in his chest, and remained silent.
Qin Zhan didn't think much of it, assuming that she was just frightened by a nightmare.
The family doctor arrived quickly, followed by Mrs. Qin.
"Xiaoxin, what's wrong?"
"Don't make a sound, let the doctor examine her first."
Madam Qin frowned and glanced at Qin Zhan, but did not object.
Both of Qin's powerful family members were watching her with extreme tension, and the family doctor, under immense pressure, quickly examined Wen Xin.
"Madam, Young Master, Miss Wen is not seriously ill. She is just a little weak from overwork. She will recover after a period of rest."
"Overwork?"
Madam Qin's brows were furrowed tightly, and her gaze toward Qin Zhan was icy and unfriendly, filled with raging anger.
She certainly didn't think Qin Zhan would make Xiao Xin do housework or anything like that.
So this is due to overwork...
Qin Zhan: "..."
He didn't!
Although he really wanted to!
However, Qin Zhan was too lazy to explain to Madam Qin, who looked like she wanted to break his legs. He only asked the doctor about the precautions and asked him to develop the best treatment plan for Wen Xin.
After the family doctor left, Mrs. Qin couldn't hold back any longer.
"Qin Zhan, what did you do to Xiao Xin?"
"You knew she hadn't been doing well these past two years and was in poor health, yet you still dared to..."
As expected, none of the men in the Qin family are good people!
Still feeling dizzy and leaning against Qin Zhan, Wen Xin thought: "???"
Qin Zhan glanced coldly at the furious Madam Qin, "What's all the noise about? Do you know you're scaring her?"
Madam Qin: "..."
Looking at the pale-faced, watery-eyed, innocent and weak girl, Madam Qin forced herself to suppress her anger and refrained from slapping this unfilial son.
She took a deep breath and asked Wen Xin softly, "Xiao Xin, tell Auntie, did Qin Zhan bully you?"
Wen Xin was bewildered. After a moment, she finally realized what was happening, and her pretty face turned bright red.
She silently covered her face, "Madam, my brother didn't bully me, really!"
Madam Qin didn't believe her at all, thinking that she was just trying to convince Qin Zhan.
Wen Xin had no choice but to explain, "I plan to take the postgraduate entrance exam this year, and I may have been studying too late these past few days."
Is that so?
Madam Qin was a little embarrassed, but she didn't show it at all on her noble and aloof face.
She still insisted that the men of the Qin family were no good!
Ignoring the mentally unstable Madam Qin, Qin Zhan asked Wen Xin in bewilderment, "Wen Xin, aren't your grades good enough for direct admission to graduate school?"
Teacher Yang also mentioned this on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
Wen Xin looked up at him, her almond-shaped eyes bright, and smiled gently, "I want to apply for graduate school at Peking University."
Qin Zhan was stunned upon hearing this, "Ah Xin..."
Wen Xinyi nestled in his arms, "Brother, I want to go back to Beijing."
