Qin Han saw Old Master Qin’s face turning red and knew something was wrong. He hurriedly walked forward to smooth Qin Dingshan’s chest and then fed him some cool water to help him ease back to consciousness.
"Auntie, Grandfather’s body is still very weak. Please keep your voice down."
There wasn’t anything wrong with what Qin Han said, but Xiao Shulan, who was agitated, felt that his words were filled with irony.
"What do you mean! Are you suggesting that you don’t want Fangfang and Jiajia to come back, so you can inherit the entire Qin Family, huh? Let me tell you, Qin Fang, a bastard will always be a bastard, and the Qin Family belongs to our Qin Fang. You’re just dreaming!"
No sooner had Xiao Shulan finished speaking than a dark shadow flashed by, and immediately following, a hard, cold glass smashed into her forehead. Blood gushed out instantly!
"You scoundrel! Who gave you the nerve to speak like that!" Qin Dingshan was simply so angry that he was breathing fire, steam practically coming out of his orifices. Not one person in his second brother’s family or their children was decent—what was he even doing!
"No matter what, Ah Han is also the blood of the Qin Family! He bears the Qin surname, you bear the Xiao! Make it clear who the outsider is! Let me tell you, Xiao Shulan, go home and stay there obediently. Don’t worry about Qin Fang and Qin Jia’s matters! Get out! Leave this instant!"
Xiao Shulan covered the still bleeding forehead, her face a picture of disbelief as she looked at Qin Dingshan. He actually hit her! Although she came from an ordinary family, she was beautiful. Who didn’t coddle her since she was young? Ever since she had married into the Qin Family, she had always been looked down upon by her sister-in-law. She had never expected that now Qin Dingshan would dare to lay a hand on her!
The more Xiao Shulan thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and the more aggrieved she became, the more she felt the Qin Family had wronged her. In daily life, she could still restrain herself a bit when she saw Qin Dingshan, but after being hit by the glass, she started to go all out!
Her red lips pursed, and as soon as she opened her mouth, a piercing scream erupted.
"I can’t live anymore! There’s no justice left! Even a bastard can bully the head of the legitimate line! Old Master, you’re biased! You can’t stand to see Qin Fang and Qin Jia do well! You’ve gone senile! Have you been blinded by Qin Han!"
Xiao Shulan, while wailing like a banshee, picked up the sofa cushions, fruit plates, and various other clutter, and started to smash them on the floor.
A cacophony of noise accompanied her loud sobs, traveling far and wide, and even the nurse on duty at the staircase heard everything clearly.
Qin Dingshan felt as if an electric saw was constantly cutting into his brain, his mind echoing with nothing but Xiao Shulan’s piercing screams. What he regretted the most now was agreeing to Xiao Shulan and his second brother’s marriage more than twenty years ago because she was pregnant, leading to his household’s current unrest, where if the beam above is not straight, the one below will go askew!
Xiao Shulan’s cursing became increasingly offensive, spewing insults like ’senile,’ ’refuse to die,’ ’heartless as a wolf,’ spitting out every vile phrase. Qin Han, while getting hit, continuously tried to stop Xiao Shulan’s tantrum. The bodyguards standing by the door were dumbfounded at the chaotic scene unfolding before them, unsure whether to leave or stay.
Lying in bed, Qin Dingshan, hearing Xiao Shulan’s unbearable cursing, felt his heart pounding erratically, his limbs numbing, his head filling with blood, his ears ringing, the world going dark, and his eyes rolling back as he lost consciousness again!
Qin Han, with sharp eyes, saw Qin Dingshan collapsing. Shocked, he quickly struggled free from Xiao Shulan’s restraint and rushed to the bedside, frantically pressing the emergency button.
Before long, a group of doctors in white coats hurriedly entered the room, initiating the machines and starting the rescue treatment under Qin Han’s anxious gaze and Xiao Shulan’s stunned look.
The nurse in white forcefully pushed Qin Han, Xiao Shulan, and the bodyguards out of the ward, as saving lives was the priority, with no regard for status or rank.
Outside the ward in the living room, Xiao Shulan stood dumbfounded at the door, her mind filled with a continuous roar.
Did she make the Old Master faint? Could something go wrong? What about the inheritance? If the Old Master died, would she be blamed? What if because of this, she didn’t get any money?
Xiao Shulan began to obsess over a never-ending loop, her mind continuously visualizing the scene of her anger leading to Qin Dingshan’s death and missing out on the inheritance. Thinking it over, she felt a surge of blood to her head, rolled her eyes back, and fainted!
Qin Han was startled by Xiao Shulan collapsing heavily onto the floor, thinking she was up to some trick again. So, he ignored her while the bodyguards by his side looked on with apathy and chose to erase everything they had witnessed today, treating Xiao Shulan as if she were air.
And so, Xiao Shulan fell unconscious, lying on the cold ground, ignored until she came to, while Qin Dingshan was still being resuscitated. Then sneezing, she slunk away from the hospital.
In the study of the Guh Family, Ah Chen stood respectfully in front of the sofa.
"Family Head, Qin Dingshan is being resuscitated again,"
Guh Tian put down the book he was holding, raised an eyebrow, and motioned for Ah Chen to continue.
"Xiao Shulan, after finding out about the disappearance of Qin Fang and Qin Jia, caused havoc in the hospital. Qin Dingshan couldn’t handle the stress and fell unconscious again. I heard that this time it’s even more dangerous than last night and it was a close call, but they were able to resuscitate him. However, now he can’t move his lower body, and from now on, he will have to use a wheelchair," reported Ah Chen, relaying the information he had just received and summarizing it for Guh Tian.
Guh Tian casually browsed through the report, a cold smile spreading across his round face.
