Chapter 347 - 347: Regardless, We Are Still Family!
When Qin Lu and Nan Yan arrived, they saw Qin Sen sitting by the bedside, peeling an apple for Old Madam Qin.
Even while peeling the apple, he kept talking and comforting Old Madam Qin with kind words.
Qin Sen also knew that the only one protecting him now was Old Madam Qin. His previous actions had hurt her deeply. So, he was playing the family card to make sure Old Madam Qin would protect him on account that he was her biological son and the only one staying by her side.
When the door rang, Old Madam Qin quickly looked over.
When she saw Qin Lu being pushed in a wheelchair by Nan Yan, her eyes became slightly moist. “Ah Lu, come here quickly!”
Nan Yan pushed Qin Lu to the bedside, and Qin Sen, showing understanding, made room for him, silently cutting the apple he had peeled into small pieces in a plate.
Old Madam Qin’s hand trembled slightly as she held Qin Lu’s hand. Her voice choked with emotion. “Ah Lu, you’ve suffered…”
“It’s nothing, just a minor injury,” Qin Lu comforted her, patting her hand gently. “Grandmother, how are you feeling?”
Old Madam Qin wiped away her tears discreetly and shook her head. “I’m fine, just a bit shaken. Knowing that you’re safe, grandmother will recover from any illness.”
“Let Yanyan check on you.”
Without hearing Nan Yan say in person that the old lady was okay, he couldn’t relax.
“Alright.”
Nan Yan nodded and went over to check Old Madam Qin’s pulse.
However, Old Madam Qin cared more about Qin Lu’s condition. “Yanyan, how’s Ah Lu’s leg? Will there be any aftereffects?”
Nan Yan spoke gently, “Don’t worry, with me here, Big Brother’s leg will recover completely and be just like before.”
“That’s good… that’s good…”
Old Madam Qin genuinely cared for Qin Lu. Knowing that his leg would fully recover, her heartache finally eased.
Qin Sen, standing nearby, widened his eyes.
This seemingly delicate young lady, who looked like a vase, was actually a doctor?
Moreover, it seemed that Qin Lu trusted her and cared about her a lot!
Qin Sen couldn’t help but have a bold idea.
Since he couldn’t deal with Qin Lu, maybe he could target her?
After checking the pulse, Nan Yan released Old Madam Qin’s hand. “No major issues. Grandma has been practicing dietary therapy and keeping herself healthy during this time, so her body is in good shape. After she’s discharged, I’ll prepare some medicine to help further with her recovery.”
Old Madam Qin proudly smiled and teased Qin Lu, “See, I told you my body was fine. Ah Lu didn’t believe me.’
“My own body, don’t I know it better?” Old Madam Qin retorted.
Qin Lu nodded and smiled gently, “Yes, you’re getting stronger with age. Your health is even better than that of young people.” Old Madam Qin:
This statement didn’t sound like a compliment.
Qin Sen had a good sense of timing. With the atmosphere in the ward clearly improving, he brought the plate of diced apples to Old Madam Qin.
“Mom, have some fruit.
Through the act of offering fruit, he silently begged Old Madam Qin to help him.
Old Madam Qin sighed inwardly and addressed Qin Lu instead, “Ah Lu, your second uncle lost his mind this time. He has always been timid. It must be someone’s instigation that led him to do such a thing. You should investigate who is plotting against you from behind and expose that person.”
“As for this ungrateful second uncle of yours, give him a lesson to make him learn, and give him another chance.”
“Regardless, we are still family!”
Qin Lu’s indifferent gaze swept over Qin Sen, “Since grandmother is willing to give him another chance, then let’s give him another chance.”
Just as Qin Sen was about to heave a sigh of relief, he heard Old Madam Qin sternly say, “Qin Sen, from now on, you are not allowed to interfere in the company’s affairs. Just take your dividends honestly and don’t cause any more trouble, understand?”
“Mom, I understand.”
Qin Sen suppressed his frustration and anger, appearing obedient.
With the most critical issue resolved, Qin Sen didn’t stay in the ward for long. He left sensibly.
Qin Lu had an injury on his leg, and sitting in a wheelchair for an extended period was straining. He had already spent several hours in the conference room earlier, causing his legs to swell.
So, he decided to occupy one of the hospital beds in Old Madam Qin’s room to get some rest.
Qin Shiyu knew that Qin Lu and Nan Yan had returned, and it was already in the afternoon.
She quickly requested leave from school and rushed back.
Seeing that there were people taking care of them, Nan Yan said, “I have an exam the day after tomorrow. so I’ll return to Tin City for now. After I finish the exam, I’ll come back to see you.”
“Alright,” Qin Lu nodded and spoke with a gentle and affectionate expression, “Study well, do well in the exam, and your big brother will reward you.”
Having just met and spent only a few hours together, Old Madam Qin was reluctant to let Nan Yan leave. However, the exam was an important matter, and she couldn’t prevent her from taking it.
Therefore, she looked at Nan Yan eagerly, saying, “Yanyan, be sure to come back after the exam!”
“Okay.”
Qin Shiyu sounded a bit disappointed. “Yanyan, you’re leaving just as I arrived…”
Nan Yan smiled faintly. “Don’t be so disappointed. I’ll come over after the exam.”
Qin Shiyu became happy. “Then, when you come back, I’ll take you around in the capital!”
“Sure.”
Since Qin Lu couldn’t move easily, he had Qin Yi accompany her back to Jin City.
Shen Junqing and Bai Chen didn’t accompany her. Both of them had their own matters to attend to and stayed in the capital temporarily.
Bai Chen was purely interested in developing the underground realm in China. He had seized the opportunity to establish a cooperative relationship with Qin Lu and volunteered to stay behind to help expedite their cooperation.
Shen Junqing had a pre-existing collaboration with Qin Lu, so it was perfectly reasonable for him to stay and assist.
After all, Qin Lu was practically single-handedly managing the projects in Jin City, and Shen Junqing was reaping the benefits.
Out of consideration for Nan Yan, he didn’t want to take too much advantage of
Qin Lu.
Of course, Shen Junqing had his own ulterior motives as well.
His main base had always been in Jin City.
Now, it was time for him to gradually shift his focus to the capital…
After Nan Yan got off the plane, she took a taxi and went directly to the An family’s old mansion.
Old Master An was still unaware of her visit to Eireng.
When she went to Eireng to find Qin Lu, she had lied to Old Master An, telling him that she was going out for a consultation.
Old Master An knew she was a young prodigy doctor and often had to go out to treat various patients, so he didn’t have the slightest suspicion.
“Yanyan, you’re back!”
“Yean.
Nan Yan dragged her suitcase in and noticed the traditional Chinese tea set arranged on the coffee table. She raised an eyebrow and asked, “Grandpa, do we have guests today?”
If it were just Old Master An alone, he wouldn’t have taken out this antique tea set to display.
Old Master An smiled and nodded, “It’s an old friend from before who came to Jin City. They happened to visit our home.”
“Alright, I’ll go upstairs to freshen up first. You can entertain your friend.”
“Okay, make sure to come down later, Yanyan. Grandpa will introduce you to a new friend.’
“Got it.”
Nan Yan dragged her suitcase upstairs.
After taking a shower and changing into a comfortable home dress, she returned downstairs.
“Doctor Nan?”
