Qin Chuan said bluntly: “I said that this is retribution. After all, if you didn’t argue with Lahaisen Hospital initially, maybe you would have a way to reach out to them today. Am I wrong?”

“Qin Chuan! I’m your father! Should you be speaking to your father in this way?!”

Qin Hongzhi stood up abruptly and loudly scolded Qin Chuan.

“Oh? So now you remember that you’re my father?” Qin Chuan replied coldly.

“Cough cough. Cough cough cough…” Qin Hongzhi choked on his anger.

It was reasonable for Qin Chuan to treat him poorly on any other day. However, he was diagnosed with leukemia today! But his son still treated him in the same way!

Qin Chuan’s mother hurriedly said: “Don’t argue with your father. After all, he’s still your father. He’s sick right now.”

Qin Chuan refused to reply. He turned around and left.

This action was akin to adding fuel to fire.

“You unfilial son!”

Qin Hongzhi was so angry that he collapsed onto the sofa. He coughed violently as he glared at his son.

When Jian Yiling saw Qin Chuan leaving the room, she thought about it for a moment before she followed him out.

She saw that Qin Chuan did not go far. Instead, he stood in the courtyard. The breeze blew onto his face.

“Did you do that on purpose?” Jian Yiling asked.

Upon hearing someone’s voice, Qin Chuan turned his head to look at Jian Yiling. Then, he replied with a smile:

“It doesn’t matter whether or not I did that on purpose. After all, I don’t really see him as my father. Furthermore, I do believe retribution is factored into his situation today. I’m just telling the truth.”

However, he still deliberately angered Qin Hongzhi.

After all, he wanted to give up the position of the Qin family successor to Qin Yufan.

Since Qin Hongzhi was ill, he would soon decide on who would be his successor.

For Qin Chuan to anger and provoke him at this time, he was basically just giving away his position.

“But you seem a bit sad,” Jian Yiling said.

Qin Chuan turned his head and gazed into Jian Yiling’s eyes.

Although his face appeared incredibly calm, his eyes seemed to be wounded.

After a while, Qin Chuan replied: “After all, he’s still my father.”

It didn’t matter how much he hated him.

Qin Hongzhi was still his father. He was unable to be completely heartless.

Just like Qin Yufan, despite arguing with Qin Hongzhi regularly, when she learned that her father was ill, her first reaction was to care for him. She wanted him to be healthy and well.

Qin Chuan was also in the same situation.

“Yiling, stand with me for a while, will you?”

As he gazed into the courtyard of the Qin Residence, Qin Chuan suddenly asked a small request from Jian Yiling.

Jian Yiling did not know how to say no.

Therefore, she just stood in the same place for a while with Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan did not say anything else. He merely stood there quietly with Jian Yiling.

Sometimes, it wasn’t about doing things. Rather, it was just enough to have someone by his side. He just didn’t want to feel lonely.

This was until Qin Yufan came out to look for the two of them.

Even Jian Yiling realized that Qin Chuan did this deliberately. Therefore, it was impossible for Qin Yufan to not realize.

“Qin Chuan, I don’t need anything from you. If I want something, I can get it by myself,” Qin Yufan said. “If I end up losing to you, I can also accept that.”

“I’m not giving this to you. It’s just that I didn’t want it in the first place,” Qin Chuan replied.

“Well, that’s your decision. However, your surname is also Qin. Therefore, you’re qualified to be the successor of the Qin family.”

Qin Yufan finally acknowledged Qin Chuan’s identity.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan looked at Qin Yufan. A smile appeared on his face.

When she saw Qin Chuan’s smile, Qin Yufan looked away.

“Don’t think too much into it. I just acknowledged that you’re a member of the Qin family. I didn’t yet acknowledge you as my brother.”
