Chapter 106: I Have a Younger Sister Who Has Been Missing for Many Years

Once full, it rubbed against Qin Shu. Qin Shu picked it up; the kitten's body was soft and squishy. She used a tissue to wipe its mouth, and the little milk cat soon fell asleep in Qin Shu's arms.

Gu Tingyan stood on the stairs, his hand resting on the banister, looking down condescendingly at the woman's porcelain-white little face before turning and heading upstairs.

"That contract, you let Qin Shu sign it?" Lu Ziqian asked him over the phone.

"Mm."

Gu Tingyan leaned against the railing and lit a cigarette. His eyes were a dark, vortex-like color, his handsome face cold and heartless.

Lu Ziqian really felt that Gu Tingyan was crazy: "Tsk, aren't you afraid she'll hate you to death?"

As a dignified gold-medal lawyer, he had exploited quite a few legal loopholes to handle the disputes between the married couple, only then managing to produce that conscience-less contract.

Gu Tingyan flicked his cigarette ash indifferently: "It doesn't matter."

Lu Ziqian: "Wife turned mistress, you two really know how to play."

"I am filled with admiration."

Gu Tingyan felt he was too noisy and said with a cold face: "Hanging up."

Hospital.

Ji Yanli drove to the hospital owned by the Ji Family, where the dean personally greeted him at the entrance.

"Mr. Ji."

"Mm."

Ji Yanli stood outside the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, his expression cold: "Tell me the situation."

A tiny infant, much smaller than others of the same age at birth, had been living in the intensive care unit since birth, undergoing repeated emergency rescues.

To say his vitality was low, yet every time, he was rescued.

To say his vitality was tenacious, yet every time, he was teetering on the edge of death, with doctors having to snatch him back from the Grim Reaper.

If not for the fact that the Ji Family owned the hospital and had sufficient funds and technology invested, if this child had been born into an ordinary family, he likely would have lost his life long ago.

The dean answered with a solemn expression: "The little young master is a premature baby; his lungs were already severely underdeveloped, and today he developed an infection."

"Accompanying this is severe pulmonary hypertension, respiratory failure, and the like, which will directly aggravate the lung damage and even trigger multi-organ dysfunction."

The dean paused and said: "The survival rate is very low."

Ji Yanli's breath hitched as he looked at the child inside: "No matter what method it takes, you must save him."

The dean thought of someone and looked at Ji Yanli: "There is an authority in this field; if we could invite him..."

"Perhaps the child's survival rate would increase significantly."

Ji Yanli: "Who?"

The dean: "T. Bailey from America. He is a benchmark figure in the pediatric world and a former honorary professor of pediatric clinical medicine at Harvard Medical School."

"But this person is notoriously ill-tempered, dislikes serving the powerful and wealthy, and does as he pleases."

The dean said: "He has a younger sister who has been missing for many years and has never been found."

"This can be used as a breakthrough point."

Ji Yanli nodded, and that same day, he booked a flight to America.

Ji Yanli pulled strings and met this Professor T at a high-society gathering. The man was about fifty years old, of Chinese descent, with handsome, refined features and a well-maintained physique, appearing cultured and polite.

Professor T stood opposite Ji Yanli, his expression shifting slightly: "You can help me find my sister?"

"Why should I believe you?"

He had searched for so many years without any news of his sister, yet this greenhorn spoke so boastfully the moment he opened his mouth.

Ji Yanli handed over his business card: "I am from the North American Ji Family. If the Ji Family steps in to help you find her..."

"The success rate will be much higher."

Professor T looked at his card and pondered for a moment: "I will go to China with you."

Even if there was a glimmer of hope, he did not want to give up the chance to find his sister.

Professor T followed Ji Yanli back to China and saw the little infant in the intensive care unit. Strangely, he felt an indescribable sense of intimacy with the little fellow.

The surgery lasted over three hours. The operating room door opened, and Professor T walked out, looking at Ji Yanli: "Observe this infant for a period of time."

"The survival rate can be increased by half."

"I will be in China during this time until he recovers and is discharged."

Ji Yanli said gratefully: "Thank you."

Ji Yanli took out a set of keys and handed them over: "This is a villa under my name."

Professor T took off his mask, his voice polite and distant: "No need, I have a place to stay in Beijing."

Xie Jin knew his second uncle had arrived in China and immediately drove over: "Second Uncle."

Professor T introduced him to Ji Yanli: "This is my nephew; I am staying at his place recently."

Ji Yanli looked at Xie Jin in surprise—a top-tier celebrity who was a massive hit in the entertainment industry; he hadn't expected his second uncle to be the internationally authoritative Professor T.

Xie Jin smiled and nodded at Ji Yanli, then took Professor T back to his residence.

Professor T sat on the sofa and took a sip of tea. He looked at Xie Jin and said calmly: "I heard from your father that you have a girl you really like in China?"

"You aren't young anymore."

"When will you bring her out for me to see?"

"Your father asked me to vet her for you."

Xie Jin: "She doesn't even know I like her yet."

He said in a low voice: "Second Uncle, her background isn't high; please put in a good word for me in front of my father."

Top-tier wealthy families often emphasize social standing, and Xie Jin was afraid he wouldn't pass his parents' test.

Professor T said calmly: "Our family doesn't need you to enter a marriage of convenience. If you truly like her, bring her for me to see."

"The difference in status is not a problem, as long as her character is decent."

Xie Jin's eyes and brows carried a smile, and Qin Shu's face appeared in his mind as the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "If you were to meet her, you would definitely like her."

Xie Jin's family is a century-old prominent clan, true socialites and dignitaries; his eldest uncle is in business, his second uncle is in medicine, and his father is in politics, with family assets reaching hundreds of millions of dollars.

Xie Jin's father wanted him to go into politics, but he didn't like it; he ventured into the entertainment industry to pursue his dreams, and after coming to China, he relied entirely on himself without leaning on his family.

Upon hearing this, Professor T became somewhat interested in the girl Xie Jin spoke of.

He is a very picky person, and not just anyone can catch his eye.

The next day.

Xie Jin called Qin Shu to invite her to dinner, and the restaurant was already booked.

Qin Shu pushed open the door to the private room and entered; Professor T was sitting in the main seat, and as he raised his eyes to scan her indifferently, he was slightly stunned when he saw Qin Shu's face.

This face was very similar to his mother's appearance when she was young.

Xie Jin introduced her to Qin Shu: "This is my second uncle."

Qin Shu nodded at the man.

Professor T's gaze locked onto her, his voice trembling slightly: "What is your name?"

Qin Shu raised her eyes and, seeing that the person opposite her seemed very agitated, she was taken aback and said: "Qin Shu."

Professor T asked eagerly: "What about your mother?"

"What is her name, and where is she?"

Qin Shu: "My mother's name is Qin Zhiyun, and she has passed away."

Professor T's expression froze: "Can you show me a photo of her?"

Feeling that he was being very abrupt, he quickly explained: "I have a younger sister who has been missing for many years."

Qin Shu pulled up her photo album and handed it over: "My mother was an only child, so I am afraid she is not your sister."
