Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 388 Heart Disease

The news that Madam Qin was hospitalized due to illness reached Yan Lan's ears early the next morning.

Although Madam Qin had made things difficult for her in the past, out of respect for Master Qin and considering her current situation, Yan Lan still made a special trip to Yunhu Villa.

Old Madam Qin was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Madam Qin sat on the edge of the bed, wiping her hands while sighing with red eyes.

Yan Lan stepped forward, gently took Qin's wrist, and carefully observed her condition. After a moment, she shook her head helplessly: "This time, the old lady suffered a brain hemorrhage due to excessive emotions. The subsequent delay in treatment has caused irreversible damage to some of her brain nerves."

This situation is completely different from the old man's condition back then. Even the latest drugs developed by the X Institute cannot restore her mobility and speech abilities.

Old Master Qin sat on the sofa to the side. After hearing this, he sighed heavily, his tone full of complex emotions.

“Yan girl, I know you’ve done your best. This old woman targeted you and misunderstood you before, yet you still made a special trip to see her. That’s more than enough.”

He looked up at Old Madam Qin, who was lying on the hospital bed unable to utter a complete sentence, and a trace of melancholy flashed in his eyes.

Although they were no longer legally married, they had been husband and wife for decades. Even if she had done things that wronged him, he could not simply ignore it.

"I've already found a sanatorium with a good environment and complete medical care. I'll send my wife there in a few days, and I'll move in with her too." Old Master Qin made a surprising decision.

"Dad! You're moving out?" Madam Qin immediately looked up, her eyes even redder. "We have servants at home, and I can take time to take care of you and Mom. You don't need to go to a nursing home!"

She is the daughter of Old Madam Qin. Even though she knows that her mother has never truly valued her, she still plans to put down her work and take good care of her mother. She also doesn't want her elderly father to go to a nursing home.

"Lanlan, please help me persuade my father!" Madam Qin held Yan Lan's hand, her voice full of pleading.

But Grandpa Qin waved his hand and said, "Don't try to persuade me. I'm getting old and should enjoy my retirement. There are professional medical staff at the nursing home to take care of me, so you won't have to worry about me and won't be a burden to us two old people."

He paused, a barely perceptible cunning glint in his eyes.

He knew in his heart that Yan Lan would visit him more often only after he moved to the sanatorium.

Unable to dissuade her father, Madam Qin could only nod and agree in the end.

After sitting for a while, Yan Lan got up to take her leave, and Madam Qin saw her off to the entrance of the villa.

Meanwhile, Qin Shi stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor of Yunhu Villa, his gaze fixed on Yan Lan's figure until her car slowly drove away from the villa gate. Only then did he gradually withdraw his gaze, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"You brat, staring at Yan's back for so long, if you like her, go and win her back!"

Old Master Qin walked over at some point, leaning on his cane. He gently tapped Qin Shi's arm, his tone carrying a hint of teasing, yet also a touch of disappointment.

"Don't end up like your grandmother and me, spending our whole lives arguing and scheming against each other, only to be left with regrets in the end, without even having a chance to say what was on our minds."

Qin Shi's body stiffened, and he slowly turned around. The tenderness in his eyes vanished instantly, leaving only a deep sadness.

He shook his head slightly, his voice low and hoarse.

“It’s different. I killed her mother. Yan Lan will never forgive me for this hatred and guilt.”

After saying that, he stopped looking at Old Master Qin, turned around and walked sadly toward the study, leaving behind only a lonely figure.

But after returning to his study, Qin Shi couldn't resist taking his phone out of the drawer. His finger hesitated on the screen for a long time before finally opening WeChat. In the contact list...

The profile picture labeled "Blue Sky" is particularly eye-catching. This is Yan Lan's WeChat account. Over the years, he has carefully kept it, but he has never dared to send a single message, not even a simple greeting.

He opened Yan Lan's Moments countless times, wanting to see how she was doing, but the screen was always blank, with no updates.

He stared at the profile picture for a long time, his fingertips trembling slightly, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to press the "send" button.

On the other side, Yan Lan picked up Xiao Chaochao and took her home.

"Mommy! I want to video chat with my sister!" Xiao Chaochao immediately rushed over, hugged her leg, and looked at her expectantly.

"Okay, Mom will go cook. You play with Xiaoxi for a while." Yan Lan patted her son's head, turned around and went into the kitchen, where she tied on her apron and got busy.

Xiao Chaochao ran to the sofa in the living room, took out his Little Genius watch, and skillfully dialed Xiaoxi's video call. A few seconds later, Xiaoxi's face appeared on the screen.

She was still holding a spoon in her hand, and her voice was a little aggrieved: "Chaochao, I'm eating right now, but Dad isn't home, Aunt is busy with work, and Grandma took Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma to the nursing home. I'm all alone at home, and I feel so lonely... I really want to eat with you and Mom."

Xiao Chaochao frowned slightly, then quickly comforted her, "Don't be sad, Sister Xiaoxi. Tomorrow I'll ask Mom to make lots of delicious snacks so we can eat them together!"

"Really?" Xiaoxi's eyes lit up, then she asked softly, "Chaochao, do you want Daddy and Mommy to make up? If they make up, we can eat together every day!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chaochao immediately recalled the scene from the last time she met Qin Shi.

Qin Shi is so good to Qin Fang, but he doesn't seem as close to him. He muttered to himself, "But... what if I don't want to acknowledge him as my father? He seems to like Qin Fang more."

"But then we can't play together anymore!" Xiaoxi's voice immediately lowered. "And Dad really misses you and Mom. I often see him staring blankly at Mom's WeChat messages!"

Xiao Chaochao thought about it and felt that what Sister Xiaoxi said was right.

He didn't want to be separated from Xiaoxi and wanted a complete family. "Okay then! Let's work together to make Daddy and Mommy reconcile!"

The two little ones immediately reached a consensus, but Xiaoxi frowned again: "But what should we do? Daddy seems afraid to talk to Mommy."

"I have a way!" Xiao Chaochao's eyes lit up, and she proudly raised her little head.

It turns out that when he played with his mother's phone last time, he accidentally saw Qin Shi's WeChat and discovered that Qin Shi would post on Moments, but his mother had never seen it.

"I can pretend to be the mom and chat with the dad!"

Without hesitation, Xiao Chaochao ran to the study and took Yan Lan's phone from the drawer.

He had already memorized his mother's lock screen password, and skillfully used his little genius watch to log into Yan Lan's WeChat account in no time.

He scrolled through his contact list and quickly found the WeChat account labeled "Time," which belonged to his father.

Xiao Chaochao pursed her lips, tapped her fingers on the screen, and sent her first greeting: "Are you busy?"

After sending the message successfully, he stared intently at the screen, feeling both nervous and expectant, waiting for Qin Shi's reply.
