Qin Huaijun paused, his face, which was turned away from Lin Xiaoxiao and Qin Jinye, visibly showing panic.
Gritting her teeth, she turned around and said coldly, "Even if my sister-in-law doesn't like me, she can't just accuse me of something. I don't even know Lin Wanwan, so how can I give her advice?"
Qin Jinye, who was initially very angry, looked at Lin Xiaoxiao after hearing his son's words, "Is there some misunderstanding?"
Lin Xiaoxiao noticed Qin Huaijun's fingers clenching involuntarily and chuckled inwardly.
"If you don't want to admit it, then don't. All I need to know is who's behind all this trouble."
Seeing her inexplicable expression and recalling her previous methods, Qin Huaijun felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart tightly, and unease spread wildly in his chest.
Reason told him that Lin Xiaoxiao probably knew about his collaboration with Lin Wanwan.
And she has no intention of letting this go easily.
"Xiao Jun, you've had a tiring morning, go upstairs and rest." Yao Huixian came out of the kitchen, saw Lin Xiaoxiao was still there, rolled her eyes unceremoniously, and then looked at her son who was still standing by the stairs.
“...Okay.” Qin Huaijun had just agreed when he stumbled and almost fell down the stairs.
Fortunately, he grabbed the handrail in time, otherwise there would have been blood.
Yao Huixian's face turned pale with fright. She ran over and looked him up and down, asking, "Is your son alright?"
"It's nothing." Qin Huaijun's mind was full of ideas on how to deal with Lin Xiaoxiao.
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
Since we've been discovered, we might as well nip it in the bud.
After all, Lin Wanwan hates her to the bone, so perhaps it's worth a try.
Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to sense something, looked up at his back, and curled her lips into a smile.
"Dad, I'm leaving now." After everyone had left, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't plan to stay at the Qin family's house any longer.
Qin Jinye escorted her to the door, glanced at the bodyguard standing there, and asked, "Who is this?"
Lin Xiaoxiao: "Bodyguard."
Besides that, Qin Jinye also glanced at the car next to him a few more times.
When Qin Jinye saw the bodyguard open the car door and Lin Xiaoxiao get in, he was somewhat shocked, and many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
After watching the car leave, Qin Jinye turned and went into the house, then went upstairs to find Qin Huaijun.
The door was half open, and from the outside, you could see Qin Huaijun tearing the newspaper apart forcefully, as if he was venting something.
Qin Jinye frowned slightly, then knocked on the door.
Qin Huaijun swept all the torn newspaper scraps into the drawer before turning around. Seeing Qin Jinye, he called out indifferently, "Dad."
"What are you doing?" Qin Jinye walked in and closed the door behind him.
Qin Huaijun said indifferently, "Didn't you see it?"
Qin Jinye sat opposite him, glanced at him a few times, and asked directly, "Is what your sister-in-law said true?"
Qin Huaijun knew what he was asking.
"If you believe her, it's true; if you don't, it's false."
It all depends on whose side Qin Jinye stands on.
Qin Jinye's face darkened slightly. "We are family. We share the same fate. If your elder brother and sister-in-law are finished, how can you expect to be any better off?"
Qin Huaijun scoffed, "Their good fortune doesn't necessarily mean my good fortune. They probably wish my mother and me dead."
The things they did over the past twenty-odd years are there for all to see. Given Qin Yushen's personality, the two brothers are destined to be enemies for life.
If Qin Yushen were to live a life of mediocrity, that would be one thing.
But he was successful and climbed to his current position without relying on Qin Jinye.
Seeing his eldest son's promising future, Qin Jinye's heart, which had been leaning to the left, instantly shifted to the right.
Qin Huaijun knew that if he did not resist, he would be trampled underfoot for the rest of his life.
His sister, Huaiyi, is a good example.
Qin Huaijun's expression was somewhat deranged. Seeing this, Qin Jinye came to the conclusion that his youngest son was probably ruined.
If he continues like this, something bad is bound to happen sooner or later.
"Dad will take you to Shanghai," he said.
Qin Huaijun narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Is Dad so eager to exile me?"
He was doing well in the Ministry of Commerce and was about to marry Lu Xue'er. A smooth and wide road lay ahead for him. Why did he go to Shanghai?
"No, I'm not going." She refused without hesitation.
Qin Jinye rubbed his temples, his head aching. "Dad can't just stand by and watch you walk down a dead end. Listen to Dad, Dad won't hurt you."
No matter what, Qin Huaijun was his son whom he had loved for over twenty years, and he had to leave him a way out no matter what.
Qin Huaijun, however, was unmoved, saying, "Dad, you're incredibly hypocritical."
Under Qin Jinye's incredulous gaze, he said, "You're not afraid that I'll take a desperate path, but that my taking a desperate path will affect your career."
So, stop pretending.
Qin Jinye stood up abruptly, glanced at him with a stern face, and finally left the room without saying anything.
Qin Huaijun scoffed.
The moment he sent his sister to the Northwest, he discovered Qin Jinye's inherent coldness and greed.
Qin Yushen was a worthless person from birth, so he could be discarded at will.
They really have to thank Qin Jinye for how they are where they are today.
Oh.
Time quickly came to the day Uncle was to have surgery, and Wen Mo and Wen Shiyu waited anxiously outside the operating room.
All surgeries carry risks.
Lin Xiaoxiao was also praying for her uncle's successful surgery.
An hour passed, and Wen Shiyu became restless, her eyes fixed on the operating room door, her nerves on edge. Wen Mo and Lin Xiaoxiao held her hands on either side.
Just as they were waiting anxiously, a female doctor came out of the operating room next door.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at it; it looked somewhat familiar, but she didn't think much of it.
“Family members, don’t block the way. Stand further away. You can’t be held responsible if something happens.” The female doctor was wearing a hat and mask, with only her eyes showing.
His eyes were filled with impatience and irritation. He was surprised when Lin Xiaoxiao looked over, but quickly rolled his eyes.
Lin Xiaoxiao: "......"
No wonder she looked familiar; it turns out she was the female doctor at Yuncheng Military Hospital with whom Qin Yushen had a falling out when Qin Yushen had that incident.
She said something similar at the time.
After being rebuked by her, he almost couldn't get off the stage.
Lin Xiaoxiao ignored him, whom she had only met once, and turned her gaze back to the operating room door.
The female doctor recognized Lin Xiaoxiao and expected to see a look of surprise in her eyes, but to her surprise, Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head away with a nonchalant expression.
Thinking that she was wearing a mask, Lin Xiaoxiao did not recognize her.
So, she decisively took off her mask, walked over, and asked in feigned surprise, "It's you?"
Lin Xiaoxiao said calmly, "The act has gone too far."
For a moment, the female doctor felt like a clown and angrily said, "I told you family members to stand further away. What are you doing standing here? Aren't you annoying? You're delaying our work. Can you afford to compensate us?"
