He probably knew she was coming, so he got a small water bottle from somewhere and filled it with warm water.
âIs it heavy?â Ji Yuanyuan asked softly.
Qin Mucheng shook his head and held Ji Yuanyuanâs hand even tighter. There was a small garden downstairs in Shenghe with many trees. However, all the leaves had fallen off in winter, making it look bare. However, the winter afternoon sun was just right. After staying in the heating room for a long time, she felt her mind become much clearer when she came out for a walk.
Qin Haowen was pushing Qin Junshan in front. Cheng Shuqin was half a step behind Qin Haowen, tugging at the corner of his shirt.
âFather, why donât you not go back to worship the ancestors this year? Iâll go back with Mucheng.â Qin Haowen suddenly thought of this matter and discussed it with Qin Junshan.
Although Qin Junshanâs branch was thin in numbers, the Qin family was also a large family.
Moreover, it was a large family that had been passed down for hundreds of years. In the past, it could be considered a scholarly family.
In the Ming Dynasty, it was said that there were two top scorers, which were recorded in the genealogy.
After hundreds of years of inheritance, they also accumulated much wealth. However, during the period of the Republic of China, the country was in turmoil, and most of the money was donated by the head of the family at that time.
The person in charge at that time was Qin Junshanâs grandfather.
Qin Junshanâs father was the eldest son of the family. He took over the family business in 1959. The Qin family had always had the eldest son inherit the family business.
After taking over the family business, Qin Junshanâs father founded Shenghe. Starting from Qin Junshan, their branch did not have many people.
Other than Qin Junshan, who had an older sister, Qin Haowen and Qin Mucheng were both only children.
Qin Junshan had joined the army when he was young, and Shenghe had always been managed by Qin Junshanâs father.
By the time Qin Junshanâs father grew old, Qin Haowen had already grown up and successfully took over Shenghe.
Qin Junshan had never entered Shenghe, and his feelings for Shenghe were not as deep as Qin Haowenâs.
Shenghe could be handed over to Qin Haowen directly, but the clan couldnât.
Qin Junshan was still considered the head of the Qin family.
Every year on New Yearâs Eve, Qingming, and other festivals to worship the ancestors, if Qin Junshan had nothing to do, he would go back and lead the Qin family to worship the ancestors.
Of course, with the progress of the times, worshipping ancestors did not seem to be as important as before.
A few years ago, when Qin Junshan was in S City and did not want to go back and forth, Qin Haowen or other juniors would replace him.
However, after suffering from this illness this year, Qin Junshan felt that he did not have much time left. His attitude towards things like worshipping ancestors had also undergone an earth-shattering change.
âNo⦠I⦠Go personally.â Qin Junshan said with difficulty.
Seeing that Qin Junshan wanted to go, Qin Haowen naturally would not go against his wishes, âAlright, Mucheng and I will accompany you.â Qin Junshan nodded in satisfaction.
After taking a few more steps forward, Cheng Shuqin shrank back and asked,
âDad, are you cold? Why donât we go back?â
Qin Junshan turned his head with difficulty to look at Ji Yuanyuan. He probably felt sorry for his granddaughter-in-law and immediately nodded, âLetâs go back.â
Qin Haowen pushed Qin Junshan in a different direction.
Cheng Shuqin also turned around and looked at Ji Yuanyuan. She asked, âHow is it? Are you cold?â
Without waiting for Ji Yuanyuanâs reply, Cheng Shuqin looked at Qin Mucheng and whispered, âTake Yuanyuan back first. Your father and I will push your grandfather slowly.â
Qin Mucheng touched Ji Yuanyuanâs hand. It was a little cold. Therefore, he didnât refuse. He nodded and said, âAlright, letâs go back first.â
Seeing that Qin Mucheng had already agreed, Ji Yuanyuan did not say anything. The two of them left first and soon walked out of the small garden.
When they reached the main road, Qin Mucheng held both Ji Yuanyuanâs hands with heartache, âDidnât I tell you to stay home obediently? Why are you so disobedient?â
Ji Yuanyuan pretended to be wronged, âWasnât it because I miss you? Qin Mucheng could not stand her expression and immediately said, âIf you miss me, tell me. Iâll go back and see you.â
âAlright.â Ji Yuanyuan nodded.
As the two of them were talking, they did not notice that a man wearing a helmet and work clothes was holding a meal in his hand. He was walking forward in a hurry with his head lowered.
Qin Mucheng had just entered the revolving door with Ji Yuanyuan when the man beside him entered from the other side. He anxiously pushed the revolving door open.
The door frame hit Ji Yuanyuanâs back. She staggered and fell onto Qin Mucheng.
As Ji Yuanyuanâs stomach was bigger, when she pounced on Qin Mucheng, her stomach touched Qin Muchengâs body first.
Qin Mucheng quickly reached out to catch her. His heart ached as he asked, âHow is it? Does it hurt?â
Ji Yuanyuan clutched her stomach and frowned, âMy stomach feels a little uncomfortable.â
The man probably knew that he had caused trouble and immediately turned around to leave.
Qin Mucheng said to the security guard beside him in a deep voice, âCatch him!â
The security guard immediately went after the man.
Upon seeing this, Qin Mucheng shifted his attention from the man to Ji Yuanyuan.
He bent down and carried Ji Yuanyuan in his arms, âLetâs go to the hospital.â At this moment, Qin Haowen and Cheng Shuqin also pushed Qin Junshan over. They had also seen this scene from afar.
When they arrived, Cheng Shuqin took the wheelchair and urged Qin Haowen, âHurry up and drive Yuanyuan to the hospital. Iâll call Xiao Li later. Heâll drive â us home. After we settle Father down, weâll go to the hospital to look for you.â Qin Junshan also said anxiously, âQuick⦠Go!â
Qin Haowen did not hesitate and immediately said to Qin Mucheng, âWait here.
Iâll go get the car now.â
Qin Mucheng stood rooted to the ground, hugging Ji Yuanyuan and nodding his head anxiously.
After Qin Haowen left, Cheng Shuqin called Xiao Li and asked him to come over.
Ji Yuanyuan was in Qin Muchengâs arms. She awkwardly tugged at the corner of his shirt and whispered, âActually, thereâs no need to go to the hospital. I just felt uncomfortable for a moment. Itâs fineâ¦â
Before he could finish, Cheng Shuqin interrupted him, âNo, we have to go to
the hospital for a check-up before we can rest assured.â
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan did not say anything.
A check-up would put their minds at ease. In any case, the checkup would be quick and would not take up too much time.
Qin Haowen soon drove over, and Qin Mucheng carried Ji Yuanyuan into the car.
Not long after Qin Haowenâs car left, the security guards returned with the man.
Cheng Shuqin merely glanced at him indifferently and said, âContact Secretary
Wu directly and ask him to come down and deal with it.â
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Li came over.
Xiao Li carried Qin Junshan into the car. Cheng Shuqin was anxious and couldnât wait for Xiao Li to make a move. She skillfully folded Qin Junshanâs wheelchair and placed it in the trunk.
A moment later, Cheng Shuqin got into the car and urged, âHurry up, letâs go home first..â
