Chapter 142

Qin Yan draped the man's coat over her shoulders and went downstairs to find Qin Yu.

Seeing the coat on her shoulders, Qin Yu happily took her hand, "It seems you and Mr. Zhang had a very pleasant chat."

"Yes, Mr. Zhang even said he wanted to invite you upstairs, saying he had some things he wanted to discuss with you," Qin Yan said.

Qin Yu followed her upstairs and walked into the room. Seeing Mr. Zhang lying on the bed with his eyes tightly shut, she looked at Qin Yan in surprise, asking what was going on.

Qin Yan asked back in confusion, "Did you hope I would be toyed with by him?"

Qin Yu looked at her with a complex expression, "You, didn't you agree? Xiao Yan, I know you blame me, but I had no choice. I encountered trouble in business, and I wanted to ask for your help."

Qin Yan sneered, "If you have problems in your business, why should I help you? I told you, I'm married."

"No one here will know your identity. As long as you can help your aunt, I can give you a sum of money. You can go back to your country and live your life with your husband as usual. Xiao Yan, one shouldn't be too stubborn, and besides, you're helping your aunt, which is a good deed," Qin Yu urged desperately.

Qin Yan couldn't even be bothered to refute her words.

"I came here to sever ties with you. I didn't expect you to be so disgusting."

Qin Yu didn't understand what she meant, "What severing ties? Xiao Yan, are you muddled with anger? This time it was your aunt's fault, you..."

"Ms. Qin Yu, thank you for giving birth to me, but you have no grace of raising me, so we owe each other nothing. Don't contact me again in the future."

Qin Yu was shocked, "You, you know? Did Shi Laoshi tell you?"

Qin Yan, who was just about to turn and leave, trembled all over. A thought popped into her mind, and she squinted at her, "You've been in contact with Shi Laoshi? Was it him who told you about me?"

"I was also worried about you, so I asked Shi Laoshi. Xiao Yan, since you know the truth, then you must help your mother even more. Mother has had her own hidden bitterness all these years; for the sake of a better life for us, I had no choice but to neglect you."

Qin Yan sneered; it was clearly her own life!

Shi Laoshi had also told her that after Qin Yu married and had a child, she had once brought the child back to the country to show her grandparents. The grandparents did not agree to her taking the child abroad because they didn't want the fact that Qin Yu had once given birth to a child to be known by her current husband and disturb her current life.

She could understand her grandparents considering things for their daughter.

So she couldn't blame anyone; if she had to blame someone, she would blame her own existence for bringing them trouble.

But she had already survived, and if Qin Yu still wanted to scheme against her, then don't blame her for being impolite!

"Xiao Yan, if it weren't for Mother working hard outside all these years, where would you have gotten the money to study, and how could you have gone to university? Isn't the good life you have now something Mother gave you?

You say you want to sever ties, Qin Yan, how can you be so ungrateful? If you hate me and want to draw a line with me, then you should resolve this matter. I will send you back to the country, and we will never contact each other again." Qin Yu used both soft and hard tactics to lecture her.

Qin Yan retorted coldly, "The money for my studies was earned by me following my grandfather every day to gather herbs, transcribe prescriptions, and treat illnesses. My academic results were achieved by my own efforts. The tuition and miscellaneous fees for university were paid with money from my part-time jobs, and my living expenses were covered by the scholarships I won every year!

The person I have become today was cultivated by my grandparents and has nothing to do with you. Stop trying to use moral kidnapping on me here; you probably wouldn't want your husband to know that you once had a child, right?"

"..." Qin Yu frowned in displeasure, not expecting that the child who had always been obedient had become so rebellious.

Qin Yan looked at her coldly, her remaining patience exhausted.

She had originally come here wanting to say a proper goodbye.

Since she didn't want to see her in the past, she wouldn't get in her way in the future, and they shouldn't contact each other again.

She never imagined she would use this method to scheme against her.

"I'm not making a scene; I'm leaving you some face. Don't lose your own dignity in the end. Ms. Qin Yu, I wish you nothing but misfortune and dissatisfaction in your life from now on!"

She turned and left the room.

Qin Yu chased after her, "Since you've come, if the matter isn't settled, you won't be able to walk out of this gate. Qin Yan, my Qin Family raised you for so many years, so you should repay the kindness. Control your temper; after this matter is over, I won't treat you poorly!"

But no matter what she said, Qin Yan didn't stop her steps and walked quickly down the stairs. She shouted loudly at the bodyguards to stop her.

Before Qin Yan could even make a move, a tall man stood in front of her and shouted coldly, "Move aside!"

The bodyguards looked at Qin Yu hesitantly, not knowing whether they should move aside.

Qin Yu went downstairs and looked at the man, "Who do you think you are, wanting to take her away?"

Lu Qianchuan lifted his chin and sneered, "And who are you? Ms. Qin, I advise you to weigh things clearly!"

Qin Yu still wanted to speak, but at this moment she was bumped aside. She looked at her superior with an unpleasant expression, but immediately extinguished her fire when she saw her superior walking respectfully to the man's side, apologizing repeatedly, saying that Qin Yu was ignorant and had disturbed his refined interest.

Lu Qianchuan glanced at Qin Yu with disdain, looked at the man who had spoken, and led Qin Yan away.

Qin Yu asked her superior in confusion who that man was, but was lectured by her superior; that man was a figure she could not afford to provoke.

After the party ended, someone discovered that Mr. Zhang was still lying on the bed in a coma and immediately sent him to the hospital. They also questioned Qin Yu about what kind of woman she had found for Mr. Zhang that had caused him to fall into a coma.

Qin Yu guessed that it was Qin Yan's doing and called Qin Yan to ask, only to find that Qin Yan had blocked her.

Helpless, she could only call Shi Laoshi to ask. Shi Laoshi thought she was concerned about Qin Yan and called Qin Yan to ask, only to find out what Qin Yu had done, and was immediately furious.

In the past, Qin Yu had often called to ask about Qin Yan's situation, and he had thought she was very concerned about her; he didn't expect it was just to understand her situation so she could make use of her.

He immediately scolded her severely, "She is in the country; don't you even think about using those dirty methods to soil her again!"

Afterward, he also blocked her number.

"She asked about your situation, and I thought she was concerned about you, which is why I told her, Qin Yan." Shi Laoshi didn't want her to misunderstand.

Qin Yan nodded with a smile, indicating that she didn't mind.

The one with ill intentions was Qin Yu; the teacher didn't have malicious intent, so how could she blame him?

Moreover, the teacher was genuinely planning for her, and she was too grateful to be angry.

Walking out of the teacher's building, she ran into Du Linze again, who invited her to watch him train. Qin Yan didn't refuse, sitting on the steps to soak up the sun and watch Du Linze train. From time to time, she would remind him to balance the force on his left and right sides.

He had been using force unevenly for years, leading to a habitual difference in the degree of force between his left and right sides; it was very difficult to correct it in a short time.

Just like her, she had once always been looking forward to the love and affection of her parents.

Now those things had become smoke, dissipating in her world; from now on, she would never be bound by such emotions again.

After an hour of training, Du Linze sat beside her to rest and said, "Do you know why I studied medicine in university and chose this school?"

"Your family is in the medical business; did you study medicine to inherit the family business?"

"Not at all. My grandfather basically let me roam free and didn't have any expectations for me. I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine because..."

He stared straight at her, his eyes shining, "I wanted to be closer to you."
