Chapter 489 - 423
"Hey, I just knew you’d come back," Qin Zhen stretched out to touch Qin Yu’s head but was swiftly dodged.
Qin Yu really detested his cousin touching his head.
He didn’t understand his cousin’s weird habit of always trying to touch his head.
He told him off every time... yet he never changed. It was infuriating.
He ignored Qin Zhen and turned around to head back into the yard.
Qin Zhen, looking at the younger man’s retreating figure, raised his eyebrows but wasn’t angered by his attitude, and walked into the yard.
Upon seeing Madam Rong, he called out, "Auntie."
Madam Rong replied immediately, "You’ve come at the right time. Stay for dinner."
Hearing about dinner, Qin Zhen shook his head to decline.
"No need. I’ll be heading back soon. My wife is waiting for me to have dinner at home!"
Upon hearing that it was his wife who asked him to come back for dinner, Madam Rong didn’t press further.
She simply went to the kitchen...
Qin Ye looked at Qin Zhen with a bit of disdain, obviously not very fond of him.
Over the years, Qin Zhen never missed a chance to boast about his son in front of him.
Hah, even when he had a daughter in the future, he wouldn’t be as childish as Qin Zhen.
"What’s up?"
Seeing his cold demeanor, Qin Zhen said, "Don’t worry. I’m not here to see you. I’m here to see my sister-in-law."
Hearing this, Qin Ye’s expression became even sharper.
Because if it were about his wife... it’d be better to speak to him instead.
"Sister-in-law, there is something... I don’t even know how to bring it up," Qin Zhen’s demeanor dropped the playfulness, now showing a troubled frown and seriousness.
Qin Ye, paying close attention to his face, immediately got a bad feeling.
"What is it?"
"It’s like this; my brother-in-law’s wife’s brother’s wife’s brother... suddenly fell ill, went into a coma, and is now in the hospital... The doctors haven’t found anything, and it’s already been a day. So, they turned to my wife for help, and then I came here on behalf of my wife to ask, you see..."
Qin Ye really wanted to kick him out. Didn’t he know his wife was pregnant?
But, the decision still had to be left to his wife, obviously, he couldn’t make it for her.
Rong Yan was a bit dizzy with the convoluted relation Qin Zhen explained.
Still, since Qin Zhen mentioned it, she couldn’t just refuse; after all, in all these years... he rarely came to ask her for any favors.
Thinking it over, she asked, "Are there any specific symptoms? It’s hard for me to judge if you explain it like this. I’d have to see the patient in the hospital."
Qin Zhen heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing her words.
There was a chance!
At least he didn’t have to worry about how to explain things to his wife when he got back.
"The patient is at the Second Hospital. If you’re going to visit, we can head there now."
Before Rong Yan replied, Qin Ye interjected quicker, "If the patient is stable enough to be at the Second Hospital, then the doctors there should be handling it. It won’t make much difference if we wait a little while, right? If we are really going, it’s better to eat dinner first before leaving."
Qin Ye suggested this because Qin Zhen’s tone didn’t imply an emergency.
His wife mattered more.
Qin Zhen, hearing Qin Ye’s words, just remembered that his sister-in-law was pregnant and couldn’t skip meals.
So he hurriedly said, "A little delay won’t hurt. Let’s have dinner and then head out...," he glanced at his watch.
"I’ll come pick you up in an hour."
Seeing that he wasn’t too rushed, Rong Yan nodded, "Okay."
