Xie Lanzhi hesitated for a while, then said softly, "No."
Qin Shu snorted twice: "You are obviously hesitant, and I can tell you are lying at once."
Xie Lanzhi put his arm around Qin Shu's shoulders and said softly, "Before I received Qin Baozhu's letter, I really didn't doubt your rebirth. It was only later that I realized it."
Qin Shu raised her eyebrows slightly and asked in confusion: "Then why didn't you ask me?"
Xie Lanzhi asked back: "If I had asked you at that time, would you have run away?"
"..." Qin Shu stopped talking.
Xie Lanzhi smiled and said, "You are tolerant to everyone, but you are very demanding of me. If there is any mistake, you will shrink back into your shell like a turtle that senses danger.
Over the years, I have kept many questions deep in my heart, just waiting for the day when you can confess them to me in person.
Unfortunately, I never got to see you. It was through my dreams and my son’s informing that I learned everything you had hidden.”
Qin Shu's eyes were erratic, and she said guiltily: "If I didn't want you to know, I wouldn't have taken out the crystal ball Chris gave me."
Speaking of this, Xie Lanzhi asked curiously: "What's the matter with that crystal ball?"
Qin Shu told what happened that year: "Chris is from the Black witch family of England. Some people in her family have special abilities - psychic, divination, prediction. Chris awakened the witch's ability..."
Xie Lanzhi kept this matter in mind. Thinking of Qin Shu's current plight with her life counting down, he felt it necessary to contact the Black family.
Not only witches from foreign lands, but also domestic metaphysical masters and hermit monks.
Qin Shu served the cooked noodles: "Do you want to eat in your room or here?"
"Eat here." Xie Lanzhi took the bowl of noodles.
He ate three bowls in a row before putting down his chopsticks.
"Ah Shu, I want to go to the back mountain to take a look."
Xie Lanzhi wanted to go and see for himself the place where Qin Shu had a glimmer of hope.
"Let's do it tomorrow. It's too late today, and Chenchen will be taking over a more difficult patient soon. I need to keep an eye on him."
"good--"
An hour later.
There was a sick old man who was supported by his family members and walked into the Qin family.
Qin Shu and Xie Chennan were in the side room, receiving this patient who looked not well.
Qin Hairui, who was sitting in the living room drinking tea, looked at Xie Lanzhi standing in the yard and said to him, "Ashu, it will probably take a long time. Why don't you go back to your room and rest for a while?"
Xie Lanzhi did not refuse and walked to the master bedroom as if he knew the way.
He saw Sister Hua taking care of her daughter.
"Young Master——" Sister Hua called respectfully.
Xie Lanzhi nodded slightly, reached out and picked up his little daughter lying on the bed, and asked: "Has Yaoyao been making trouble again since she came here?"
Auntie Hua replied, "No, the little lady is very well behaved around the young mistress. She eats and sleeps, and doesn't cry or make a fuss."
Xie Lanzhi sat on the edge of the bed, holding his daughter in his arms, who was yawning with her mouth open.
There was warmth lingering between his brows, full of tenderness and love.
"Ah Hua, please go down first."
"good--"
After Aunt Ahua left, Xie Lanzhi put his sleepy daughter on the bed and lay beside her, watching quietly.
Under the gaze of her biological father, Xie Jinyao's clear eyes, which were clearly black and white, flashed with a hint of confusion.
“Aaaaaa——”
The little girl called out to her father.
Xie Lanzhi patted her gently and said dryly, "Be good, go to sleep."
Xie Jinyao thought her father was playing with her and shouted twice: "Ahhhh——"
Xie Lanzhi looked at his daughter suspiciously: "Aren't you sleepy?"
Xie Jinyao blinked, giggled, and waved her little fists.
Xie Lanzhi extended his index finger, which was grasped by his daughter's chubby little hand.
The little girl was quite strong, and the blood around Xie Lanzhi's fingers that were being grabbed instantly disappeared.
Xie Lanzhi covered his daughter with a small quilt, and with his free hands, he took out his cell phone and made a call.
"You still remember to call me! You went to look for your wife without even saying hello. Can't you leave your wife?"
As soon as the phone was connected, Xie's father's dissatisfied questioning came.
Xie Lanzhi threw out a bombshell expressionlessly: "Dad, I want to resign."
"What did you say?!!"
Father Xie was furious and his roar was deafening.
Xie Lanzhi lowered his eyes and stared at his startled daughter, then handed the phone to her: "Yaoyao, call grandpa."
Xie Jinyao shouted politely: "Aiyaya——"
Father Xie, who was furious, immediately calmed down when he heard his granddaughter's soft voice.
"Yaoyao, do you miss grandpa?"
“Ahhh—”
Xie Jinyao shouted excitedly as she heard the familiar voice on the phone.
Father Xie was happy: "Hehe, Grandpa misses you too."
“Ahhh—”
"Okay, I'll wait for Grandpa to come back and see you."
“Aaaaaa——”
Xie Lanzhi listened to the irrelevant conversation between the grandfather and grandson, and his father Xie remained calm.
He took the phone away: "Dad, something happened here at Shu, I'm sorry."
Father Xie was no longer as angry as before, and said in a cold voice: "To be honest, as long as Ah Shu is not dying, I will never agree to your resignation. Do you think this is just a game? Do you know how much trouble you will cause once you step down?
We used the whole family's strength to push you to this position, and now you say you want to quit. I wonder if you think our Xie family doesn't have the strength to hold on to this position."
Xie Lanzhi heard clearly the words, "Ashu is dying."
His dark eyes were brewing an extremely dangerous storm.
"Ashu is indeed dying soon. She only has a few years left."
Father Xie paused for a moment, then sneered, "Don't play dumb with me, kid. Ah Shu has incredible medical skills. If you and I die, she can still be alive and well!"
Xie Lanzhi raised his hand and pinched his nose: "Dad, it's true. If I hadn't had to, I wouldn't have resorted to this."
There was no sound from Xie's father, and only the sound of slightly rapid breathing could be heard.
Xie Lanzhi lowered his eyes to look at his quiet little daughter and found that she had fallen asleep due to her sleepiness.
Father Xie asked in a heavy tone: "Lanzhi, this is not a joke, tell me honestly, what happened to Ah Shu?"
Xie Lanzhi said succinctly: "Ashu's body is in trouble and her life is on the countdown."
He did not tell his parents what had happened, and could not explain it clearly over the phone.
He continued to persuade: "Dad, the foundation of the Xie family is already very stable. Even if we don't reach the top, we still have absolute control over the right to speak. Today's false reputation is a burden to me now."
"...Let me think about this carefully." Mr. Xie's voice was filled with fatigue.
He needed to slow down, as the Xie family's plans for the next ten years were all ruined by this phone call.
Xie Lanzhi drooped his eyelids and said calmly: "Actually, the Jiang family is not bad either."
In the previous life, it was the Jiang family that came to power.
They did a good job and most of the decisions were correct.
In the future, China will be regarded as a strong country in various fields including economy, industry, military, diplomacy, etc. It can be seen that the Jiang family has done a good job.
Father Xie sighed softly: "I know that among the several competing families at the beginning, only the Jiang family deserves the word rival.
The Jiang family's methods are all used openly. Except for a few useless children in the family, they have a principled bottom line on major issues and their stance is very firm. "
Their goal is the same, to speed up construction and manufacturing, realize the great rejuvenation as soon as possible, and make sure that no one dares to bully China anymore!
However, Xie's father immediately changed his tone: "However, I don't agree with you giving up the Jiang family at this time."
