From Sidekick to Bigshot

Luo Xiuen: “And what if Yiling isn’t interested in this opportunity?”

Cheng Yi: “Well, he can’t really do anything to Yiling. Not to mention that he hasn’t found anyone else other than us two yet.”

Luo Xiuen thought about it for a moment. Then she said: “Hmm, that’s fair. But you better let Yiling know in advance! Furthermore, if you cause Yiling any trouble, I will skin you!”

Cheng Yi: “Understood! Understood!”

He did not dare to disobey Sister En.

“Father, you’re looking for me?” Qin Yufan said to Qin Hongzhi. She attempted to be as kind as possible.

“Mhmm. What happened yesterday was my fault. I want to apologize to your friend.”

“You mean Yiling?” Qin Yufan asked as she looked at her father suspiciously.

Her father was not someone who’d easily apologize to someone.

He had always been very self-centered. If he decided that something was right, no amount of words from others would change his opinion.

“Mhmm, please invite her to come over. I want to personally apologize to her,” Qin Hongzhi said.

“Father, what exactly do you want?” Qin Yufan asked. She did not believe that her father really wanted to apologize to Jian Yiling.

“Didn’t I already say what I wanted? I just want to apologize to your friend.”

“But that’s clearly not what you said yesterday,” Qin Yufan replied. She was not stupid therefore, she would not be fooled that easily.

Seeing that he was unable to hide his intentions, Qin Hongzhi told his daughter the truth.

Upon hearing Qin Hongzhi’s words, Qin Yufan smiled bitterly: “Ahh, you changed your attitude after you realized that she was useful to you. Father, you really do let me down often.”

Qin Hongzhi sighed lamentably: “Well, you can think what you want to think. Just tell me whether or not you’re willing to help me. I have no other choice.”

“I will help you,” Qin Yufan replied.

Although she disapproved of his intentions, he was still her father.

And thus, Qin Yufan called and asked Jian Yiling to come to the Qin Residence.

Because it was Qin Yufan’s request, Jian Yiling did not say no.

Qin Yufan waited for Jian Yiling at the door. As soon as she saw Jian Yiling, Qin Yufan apologized: “I’m sorry.”

Jian Yiling looked at Qin Yufan with a puzzled expression on her face: “Why are you sorry?”

Qin Yufan: “Because this might be a waste of your time.”

Then, Qin Yufan took Jian Yiling into the living room of the Qin Residence.

Qin Hongzhi was waiting in the living room for Jian Yiling.

This time around, Qin Hongzhi treated Jian Yiling in a much kinder and friendlier manner.

“Miss Yiling, I’m sorry about what happened yesterday. I was just in a bad mood after I learned that I had leukemia. I’m sorry for losing my temper at you. I hope you’ll forgive my rudeness.”

Qin Hongzhi’s apology was incredibly sudden.

However, Jian Yiling did not reply. Instead, she looked at him with calm eyes.

Then, Qin Hongzhi said: “Actually, I met Dr. Cheng and Dr. Luo from Huiling Medical Research Institution yesterday. After hearing them talk about you, I realized that you’re not only a well-known surgeon, but you’re also very accomplished in pharmaceutical research.”

Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling roughly understood Qin Hongzhi’s intentions.

As of now, Qin Hongzhi had not found a suitable bone marrow that could match his. As a result, the only way to control his condition was through medicine. Therefore, he turned to Huiling Medical Research Institution for help.

Then, he found out from Cheng Yi and Luo Xiuen that she could help him.

“Mhmm.”

Jian Yiling indifferently and coldly replied to Qin Hongzhi.

However, Qin Hongzhi continued to speak in a friendly manner: “I wonder what it would take for Miss Yiling to be willing to help me with this favor? If Miss Yiling can cure my condition, I will definitely prepare a huge reward.”

“The Qin Group. Equity,” Jian Yiling replied.

“What did you say?!” Qin Hongzhi replied. The expression on his face suddenly changed.
