Chapter 45: Crying to Uncle Qin

Qin Yelan sent Mu Ning back to school first.

Shi Yang and Qin Zhen were the only ones left in the ward.

Qin Zhuo sat on the edge of the bed, holding a fruit knife in his hand, peeling an apple with an expressionless face.

Shi Yang was leaning against the head of the bed, looking sick. He was calling Qin Yanchuan via video.

The phone rang for a long time but was not answered.

Shi Yang persevered and called the second and third number. This time the call lasted about half a minute and the video was finally connected.

At that time, Qin Yanchuan was holding an online meeting with his partners in the office. He had no intention of answering Shi Yang's call, but unexpectedly the latter called him several times.

His future niece-in-law is very annoying.

Qin Yanchuan paused the meeting, leaned back in his office chair, rubbed his temples, and then slowly answered the video call.

As soon as the video was connected, Shi Yang's howl of grievance and excitement that was so loud that it broke his voice came into Qin Yanchuan's ears through the mobile phone speaker.

"Uncle Qin——!"

"Wuwuwu, I was in such a miserable state today. I almost bled to death. You have to take charge of this for me, Uncle Qin, wuwuwu..."

“…”

Qin Zhu's hand holding the fruit knife trembled slightly, and the long strip of apple peel was cut directly.

He lifted his eyelids and looked at the person on the hospital bed. Shi Yang's lips trembled and he began to shed tears again. He complained to the person on the other end of the phone with tears in his eyes.

Qin Zhuo stuffed the peeled apple directly into his mouth and chewed it expressionlessly, without paying any attention to Shi Yang who was crying sincerely and heartbroken.

Shi Yang didn't notice any of this and was still complaining to Qin Yanchuan.

"Uncle Qin, take a good look at the wounds on my forehead and neck. It's so painful."

Qin Yanchuan's posture did not change, he still leaned calmly on the sofa, his eyes fixed on the face on the screen.

The high-definition camera captured Shi Yang's face very clearly. Her forehead was pressed against a piece of gauze, and her puppy eyes, which had slightly drooping corners, were red and swollen from crying. Her eyes were full of tears, her lips were pale, and her face was colorless. She looked innocent, weak, and pitiful.

The person on the screen said this, tugged at his collar, and aimed the camera at his neck.

A terrifying bruise appeared on her slender white neck.

Before Qin Yanchuan could see clearly, the camera shook for a moment, and the boy's enlarged face appeared in front of the camera again.

With tears in her eyes, she sobbed and called him Uncle Qin, and said aggrievedly: "At that time, such a big stick was swung at my neck, and I didn't have time to dodge..."

"Uncle Qin, why aren't you talking again? Speak up, Uncle Qin!"

Because Shi Yang was chattering the whole time, Qin Yanchuan, who had no time to speak, said: "..."

Qin Yanchuan raised his hand and rubbed his aching temple again. Before Shi Yang was about to speak again, he spoke first: "Okay, don't say anything yet."

Shi Yang opened his mouth, then closed it aggrievedly, staring at the man on the screen with tearful puppy eyes.

He has a good-looking face, and looks quite well-behaved when he doesn't talk. Especially now with this little look, it can make people's hearts soften.

It was unclear whether Qin Yanchuan had softened his heart or not, but his handsome and mature features remained calm and unchanged.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Shi Yang exaggerated and described to Qin Yanchuan what had just happened in the bathroom. Of course, he automatically ignored the part where he cursed at people and hit someone in the face with the toilet plunger.

He just said he was going to the restroom, but Mu Jiahe and a few of his followers suddenly burst in, trapped Mu Ning inside and wanted to teach him a lesson.

And Shi Yang was just an innocent passerby who was implicated.

"I... I just went to the bathroom, and I don't know how I got beaten up. There was blood all over the floor, I was so scared!"

"Uncle Qin, if you want to help me get revenge, don't let those beasts go. They are not human!"

Qin Yanchuan remained quiet throughout the whole process and listened patiently to Shi Yang's description of the whole incident.

As for Shi Yang's complaint, Master Qin was also very considerate and kindly reminded: "Shi Yang, you should look for my two nephews instead of me."

There seemed to be a hint of joking in the man's nonchalant tone, or perhaps an indifference that it was none of his business.

After listening carefully, there was nothing.

"What's the point of looking for them? They are all on Mu Ning's side and don't care about my life or death."

As Shi Yang spoke, he glanced at Qin Zhu from the corner of his eye, his eyes slightly widened, "Why did you eat my apple?"

There was only half of the apple left in Qin Qi's hand. After hearing Shi Yang's words, he didn't even raise his eyelids and ate the rest directly.

Sure enough, I was not happy after doing it.

"Why are you so greedy? Are you doing this on purpose? Targeting me? You're upset because I said a few words to you? Isn't that the truth?"

"Cut another one for me, what are you standing there for? Hurry up!"

Qin Qi was unmoved. Shi Yang turned the camera of his mobile phone towards him and said, "Uncle Qin, look at him. He dares to do this to me even though you are still looking at him."

Qin Yanchuan said to Shi Yang, "Xiao Zhou, peel an apple for Shi Yang."

Qin Zhuo picked up the fruit knife without saying a word and started peeling the apple again.

Shi Yang was satisfied, and turned the camera to himself again, muttering a few words, "See, they are all like this, they don't take me seriously all day long."

He raised his eyes and looked at Qin Yanchuan's pleasing face on the screen, pursed the corners of his mouth, revealing a very well-behaved smile.

"Uncle Qin is the only one who treats me the best. Who else can I turn to if not you? You will definitely help me, right?"

Qin Yanchuan seemed pleased, with a faint smile on his face, "What if I don't help?"

"Not helping?" Shi Yang didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face. "That doesn't matter. Uncle Qin must have his reasons for doing this."

Qin Yu: “…”

Master Qin peeled the apple again. He thought expressionlessly that there was probably no one in the world who could flatter his uncle better than Shi Yang.
