But why does Xia Tianxiu harbor such hostility towards her "biological mother" Qi Yaqin?
...
Three days later, Qi Yasheng arrived at the entrance of Fangchi Hot Spring Sanatorium with her luggage. She looked at the sign and adjusted her glasses.
He came to pick up Qi Yaqin and Qiao Tianyue and take them back to Beijing.
By the way... let's investigate Qiao Tianyue's background.
This is what Qi Yuan instructed over the phone.
Qi Yuan suddenly sensed something was wrong after he had another big fight with Qi Yaqin and hit her again.
He was shocked to realize how abnormal it was when he discovered he had a physical aversion to his beloved daughter.
He couldn't help but recall what had happened recently.
Nothing has changed.
Qi Yaqin is spoiled, she was spoiled before, and she is still spoiled now.
He has a bad temper; he used to have a bad temper, and he still does.
However, the father and daughter had never had such frequent conflicts before.
The only variable added to the relationship between the father and daughter is Qiao Tianyue.
In the past few days, he suddenly realized that every time the father and daughter had a conflict, it was caused by Qiao Tianyue.
But each time, after a conflict was sparked, she would perfectly disappear.
For example, today.
Today, the first heavy rain of autumn fell.
Qi Yaqin insisted on eating on the third floor of the cafeteria, but Qiao Tianyue said that her grandfather's old injury would flare up on rainy days, and suggested that she take a lunchbox to get it.
Qi Yaqin was unhappy and rolled her eyes at Qi Yuan: "Dad, candied sweet potatoes taste best when they're freshly served. They won't be crispy if you bring them back!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan felt that Qiao Tianyue was very sensible and always thinking of him; she was truly a sweet little cotton-padded jacket!
Qi Yaqin only cared about eating and didn't care at all whether her old injuries would flare up in the rain.
Although he had recovered from Su Ruyi's treatment and could no longer feel any of his old injuries except for his lung problems, it was still nice to be cared for.
He cleared his throat and said, "Let Yue'er bring it back to eat."
Qi Yaqin got angry: "Then I'll go to the cafeteria to eat by myself! You two can bring your food back to eat! Dad, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're not old enough to be unable to walk yet, so why are you putting on airs! Be careful that if you bring one meal back to eat, you'll have to bring it to bed for every meal from now on!"
Qi Yuan was so angry at these words that he trembled all over: "Say that again?!"
"Dad, why are you yelling?" Qi Yaqin retorted. "I just want to eat some candied sweet potato, why is that so difficult? You're always traveling all over the country, what can't you eat? I'm stuck in Beijing all day, I can't get anything good to eat! Can't you understand me even a little bit?"
"Yaqin! Don't be unreasonable! You..." Qi Yuan felt his breath catch in his throat. He took a few deep breaths, pointed at Qi Yaqin, and couldn't say anything.
"What are you pretending for? Are you going to pass out again later?!" Qi Yaqin rolled her eyes.
"You! You're nothing like your mother! How could your mother raise a daughter like you?!" Qi Yuan clutched his chest, feeling increasingly unable to breathe.
"What right do you have to talk about my mother like that?" Qi Yaqin's eyes immediately filled with tears. "If you hadn't had someone lock you up back then, my mother would have been in such a hurry to get you out that she would have walked into the street and been hit by a car. You're the one who killed her!"
"Smack!"
The argument ended with Qi Yuan slapping Qi Yaqin across the face again.
As Qi Yaqin covered her face and ran away, Qi Yuan caught a glimpse of his granddaughter out of the corner of his eye, only to see a fleeting look of pleasure in her eyes.
Actually, before that, Qi Yuan had already planted a seed of doubt in his heart—how did Qiao Tianyue know that there was a mechanism in that semi-basement?
Although she said that a staff member told her this, a search based on the physical characteristics she provided did not find such a staff member.
None of the staff at the retirement home knew of the existence of such an organization, including the director, who only came to inspect it after being reminded by a retired director.
How did her granddaughter, who was visiting here for the first time, know about this?
...
Qiao Tianyue saw Qi Yaqin run away crying before she brought a cup of tea to Qi Yuan.
Upon closer inspection, a hint of an uncontrollable smile played at the corners of her lips.
Qi Yuan suddenly dared not drink the tea she offered.
Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will quickly take root and sprout, until it grows into a mental demon that cannot be ignored.
Qi Yuan then realized that Qiao Tianyue never intervened to mediate whenever he and Qi Yaqin argued.
She always hid in a corner with a hurt expression, trying her best to avoid appearing in their sight.
In reality, almost every argument was sparked by her, Qiao Tianyue!
Qi Yuan looked at Qiao Tianyue's innocent face and felt a chill in his heart.
However, Qi Yuan felt somewhat relieved when Qi Yasheng arrived.
Qi Yasheng was much better at social interaction than his sister Qi Yaqin. He brought gifts for everyone as soon as he arrived, and even Qi Yuan's two bodyguards received gifts.
Furthermore, he was very kind to Qiao Tianyue, even to the point of being attentive.
All day long, he treated Qiao Tianyue like a princess, making her laugh out loud constantly.
Qiao Tianyue had no idea that Qi Yasheng was trying to trick her into revealing information, so she spilled everything about her life in Haicheng and Dingjiatun.
...Of course, this is Qi Yasheng's feeling.
Qiao Tianyue, also known as Xia Tianxiu, didn't mention Su Yin at all.
This day happened to be the day that Su Ruyi had arranged to come and treat Qi Yuan.
Su Ruyi made a special phone call to explain the situation. She would come for treatment after lunch and then stay in bed until the next morning—this would be more conducive to her recovery.
But when Su Ruyi arrived, she heard arguing in the courtyard.
She carried her heavy medicine box, sighed, and knocked on the door.
It was Qi Yasheng who opened the door.
Looking at the gentle and refined man in front of her, Su Ruyi blurted out, "Your neck isn't very good?"
Qi Yasheng was stunned.
Little did he know that Su Ruyi's actions were purely out of professional instinct; upon seeing him, she simply scanned him with her divine sense.
Qi Yasheng scratched her head: "You're a miracle doctor! You can tell my cervical spine problem without even looking, listening, asking, or feeling the pulse!"
Su Ruyi said calmly, "Your posture problem is already quite serious."
Qi Yasheng nodded and said, "Indeed, I'm planning to have surgery next month."
“No surgery needed,” Su Ruyi said. “I’ll set your bones, and that’ll be fine.”
"Really?" Qi Yasheng was overjoyed. "If I can cure him, I'll have to present you with a silk banner!"
Qi Yasheng agreed to make this trip because her father mentioned that a miracle doctor was working at the sanatorium.
Over the years, he has traveled all over the country to find a "miracle doctor" for his increasingly severe cervical spondylosis!
