A bright and spacious hall.
Yin Qin watched as his father rushed straight towards his mother.
Qin Keqin watched Yin Bin warily, seeing him stagger towards her at a rapid pace and forcefully push her onto the couch.
Yin Qin stared dumbstruck.
“Back off!” Qin Keqin pushed Yin Bin away.
Her face went pale with anger.
Yin Qin simply stood aside and watched.
“Yin Qin!” Out of desperation with Yin Bin, Qin Keqin called for Yin Qin, who was standing aside laughing, “Come over here and get your father away, quickly!”
“Yin Qin!” Qin Keqin screamed.
She was utterly disgusted and exasperated.
Yin Qin rubbed his ears.
He then stepped forward and pulled up his drunken father.
Qin Keqin rose from the couch, glaring disdainfully at Yin Bin. She was furious and utterly exasperated.
Yin Bin, checked by Yin Qin but continuously writhing and showing signs of lunging once again, growled menacingly, “Qin Keqin, let me tell you I’m still very young!”
Listening to Yin Bin’s words, Qin Keqin’s expression worsened.
She glared fiercely at Yin Bin, took a glance at Yin Qin who was seeming to find the whole situation amusing, then stormed out, unable to contain her anger.
Yin Bin watched as Qin Keqin’s silhouette disappeared, still yelling out, “Qin Keqin you stay put if you dare, …”
Qin Keqin had already left.
Even though she had been gone for quite a while, Yin Bin was still mumbling her name.
Yin Qin saw his father’s struggles and felt bad for him.
He carried his father to his bedroom upstairs.
How much did he drink to be this drunk?
Yin Qin placed him on the bed, noticed his face was flushed and he was struggling to breathe properly. He undressed him, wiped his body, washed his face, and took care of him until he went to sleep.
Just as he was about to leave after settling everything.
Yin Bin suddenly sat up from the bed.
Sitting straight up, he looked at Yin Qin.
Yin Qin was startled by his father’s behavior.
This must be the precursor to a drunken tantrum.
“Yin Qin.” Yin Bin loudly called his son.
Yin Qin stood still.
“Where’s your mother?”
“She’s sleeping next door.”
“Get her here.” Yin Bin issued his command.
“She won’t come.”
“Tell her to come take care of me, I’m drunk!” Yin Bin’s statement had an air of entitlement, as if everyone should obey him.
“Dad, don’t humiliate yourself, just wash up and sleep, got it?”
“What do you mean by humiliation?!” Yin Bin raised his voice, suddenly looking as though he would explode, “Isn’t it natural for a wife to care for her husband?”
Yin Qin couldn’t take it anymore.
His father must be really drunk.
He turned to leave, really not eager to witness his father’s drunken tantrum.
As he was leaving, he heard his dad suddenly say, “Yin Qin, will your mom never forgive me in this lifetime?”
Yin Qin paused momentarily.
He saw his dad sitting at the head of the large bed, his drunk eyes unfocused. Leaning against the headboard, the old man looked rather pitiful.
Yin Qin approached, helping his father to lie back down, “Dad, why do this to yourself?”
Yin Bin looked at his son.
“If you knew you were wrong, why not admit it earlier? Now, after decades of regret, why suffer so?”
“I have no regrets.” Yin Bin declared. “If not for being forced to marry Qin Keqin back then, I wouldn’t be in this state… for the rest of my life…”
The more he spoke, the more pitiful he sounded.
Even listening to this, Yin Qin felt aggrieved.
“If you hadn’t been such a ‘macho man’, would things have transpired this way between you and mom? What’s wrong with lowering your pride a bit? Instead, you’ve always carried yourself high, insisting you were the head of the house and refusing to back down, as though compromising would be an insult to your manhood! Now look at you, at this age and regretting your actions, what do you plan to do?”
“Mind you, Yin Qin, I’m still very vigorous. I have people preparing health tonics for me every day …” Yin Bin asserted passionately.
“…” What’s the point of preparing for things by himself?
He never put words into action.
He still couldn’t let go of his pride.
“Enough, Yin Qin said. “Get some sleep now. When you wake up in the morning, you’ll probably deny everything you’ve done and said.”
Yin Bin kept muttering under his breath.
Then, after who knows how long, he finally fell asleep.
Yin Qin left his father’s room, feeling a bit of heartache for his dad being alone.
He had no idea how his old man had lived his life.
Truth be told, his father had really maintained himself well. He looked fashionable and muscular at 46.
Sometimes Yin Qin would wonder if he really was his parents’ biological son.
It seemed as though he had been picked up from somewhere.
Whose parents look so much like siblings?
Mulling over that thought, Yin Qin left the room and contemplated knocking on his mother’s door.
“Come in.”
Yin Qin headed to his mother’s room.
Qin Keqin had just finished showering and was patting water on her face. Seeing her son, she casually asked, “He’s asleep?”
“Just fell asleep.”
“Don’t meddle in your father’s business again, to avoid him bringing up his drunken fits when he returns,” Qin Keqin instructed.
“Okay,” Yin Qin nodded.
“It’s late, go to sleep.” Qin Keqin finished cleaning her face and got into bed.
Yin Qin didn’t leave immediately, instead he affectionately sat on his mother’s bed and took his mother’s hand, “Miss Qin, can I ask you something?”
“Stop being so nauseatingly affectionate.” Qin Keqin moved her son’s hand away disgustedly, “Did you wash your hands after touching your father’s body?”
Yin Qin was speechless.
It probably won’t be easy for the old man to get back together with his mom.
He asked, “If my dad regrets his past mistakes and apologizes to you, would you consider…”
“Don’t even think about it.” Qin Keqin rejected him outright, “I’m perfectly fine on my own, don’t get any ideas.”
“It was just a thought.” Yin Qin shrugged.
“Hurry up and take a bath and go to bed, I need my beauty sleep.” Qin Keqin urged.
Yin Qin stood up, “Goodnight, my beautiful Miss Qin.”
Qin Keqin watched her son leave and close the door behind him.
The moment the door closed, her expression subtly changed.
A long, long time ago.
Yin Bin said, “I will never, ever, like Qin Keqin in my lifetime. You forced me to marry her, to have children with her and I did, but I swear I will never, ever, like her!”
And so they were married, and the children were born.
And in this lifetime, there really was no emotion left.
The next day.
Yin Bin groggily got out of bed, his head pounding.
How did he get home last night?
His memory flashed back to drinking a lot of alcohol with his sister and Lin Ximeng, and calling Yin Qin to pick him up when he felt the effects of the alcohol.
After that, he remembered nothing.
So, had it been his son who brought him home?!
It’s rare for Yin Qin to be reliable!
He took a shower, put on clean clothes, and went out.
Qin Keqin and Yin Bin were having breakfast downstairs.
He didn’t look so well, he constantly felt like he was an outsider in this family! At that moment, he felt compelled to join them. He placed himself at the dining table and commanded, “Yin Qin, get me that pair of bowls and chopsticks.”
Yin Qin just stared at Yin Bin.
Yin Bin, maintaining his authoritarian posture, spoke sternly, “Hurry up!”
Yin Qin went to get up.
“Sit down.” Qin Keqin called to Yin Qin.
Yin Qin sat back down.
Yin Bin looked at Qin Keqin, “What do you mean? Can’t I eat a meal?”
“Still hungover from yesterday?” Qin Keqin countered.
“What hangover? I didn’t get drunk in the first place.” Yin Bin adamantly denied, “I, Yin Bin, have been in business for so many years, experienced countless drinking occasions. When have I ever been drunk? I was merely in high spirits last night, not drunk!”
“Yes, high spirits.” Yin Qin interjected, “Otherwise, why would you be so giddy last night…”
“Yin Qin!” Qin Keqin’s expression darkened.
Yin Qin stopped talking.
At that moment, Yin Bin’s face suddenly changed.
Suddenly, some…some scenes flickered in his mind.
His usually serious face seemed to falter for a moment.
Yin Qin observed the dramatic change on his father’s face.
Then.
He watched as his father left the house hastily.
Yin Qin couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Qin Keqin glared at her son, “What’s so funny? Eat your food.”
It took a while for Yin Qin to stop laughing. He said, “Mom, do you think my dad wants to bang his head against a wall right now?”
“God knows what he wants to do.” Qin Keqin said, seeming to truly not want to bring up his father, she changed the subject, “Yin Qin, be careful these days.”
“What’s wrong?” Yin Qin was surprised.
“Lin Ximeng’s sudden return seems suspicious.”
“Of course it’s suspicious, she clearly returned to seduce my father. Last night, I had to rescue my dad from the hotel, you have no idea how sultry Lin Ximeng was dressed…”
“I’m being serious.” Qin Keqin interrupted her son.
Which of his words did not sound serious?
“Yin Ying has always wanted the Milky Way business, and for years she has been intending for Weng Cheng to replace your father. Over these years, Yin Bin also seems to have not given up on you. Personally, I think Yin Ying must be growing impatient. Perhaps Lin Ximeng was brought back by her.”
“Is my aunt that bad?”
“She’s certainly not good.”
“Then I’ll be more cautious.” Yin Qin nodded, “But don’t worry, my dad is cunning and shrewd. He won’t let Weng Cheng take his place.”
“Yin Bin might end up being enticed by Lin Ximeng.”
“Don’t worry, Lin Ximeng’s whole body isn’t as capable as a single finger of yours. If you don’t believe me, try and hook Yin’s old man with a finger.”
Qin Keqin glared at her son.
“Alright, I’ll stop talking, you continue.”
“In a nutshell, if you want the Yin family’s business, be extra cautious. If not, ignore everything I’ve just said.”
“Of course, I want it.” Yin Qin confidently asserted, “My father has spent most of his life working hard, isn’t it for me? I can’t disappoint him, despite my faults.”
“As long as you understand what you want.” Qin Keqin didn’t say more.
She put down her bowl and chopsticks.
And went straight upstairs.
Yin Qin watched his mother’s receding figure.
In this lifetime, he wondered if his dad could ever bring life to his mom’s “dead heart”!
Yin Qin quickly finished his breakfast and left for work.
As he was driving, he suddenly remembered Luo Xiaolang from yesterday.
He picked up the phone and dialed, “Xiaolang.”
“Hmm.”
“Where are you?”
“At the hospital, getting yesterday’s test results.”
“How did it go?”
“I’m not sure, I need to show the results to the doctor.”
“Want me to come and accompany you?”
“No need, I’ll leave once I know the results.” Luo Xiaolang declined.
“All right. Let me know if anything happens.”
“Hmm.”
Luo Xiaolang hung up.
She went to the front desk to collect her test results in sequence.
The hospital in the morning was completely different from last night, bustling with people everywhere, especially around the area for collecting reports. Sometimes, the staff couldn’t even maintain order.
Luo Xiaolang finally managed to queue up and presented her form to the staff.
The person behind her seemed to be in a hurry, directly handed his form to the staff as well.
The staff glanced at the one who cut in line, refrained from saying anything, found the reports based on both forms, and handed them out.
Luo Xiaolang took her report and went to find the doctor.
After standing in line for a long while, she finally reached the doctor’s office.
The moment the doctor saw the results, their expressions changed.
Luo Xiaolang didn’t understand why.
And the doctor today was not the same one as yesterday.
The doctor asked, “Issue with your stomach?”
“Yes.”
“When was it discovered?”
“1 or 2 months.”
“Do you have a family member accompanying you?”
“No.”
“Why didn’t you bring a family member with you?”
“I’m an orphan.” Luo Xiaolang clarified.
The doctor seemed somewhat sympathetic, it took him a while to say, “The resulting outlook isn’t too good. There’s a high probability it will get worse. I suggest you get admitted to the hospital immediately for final diagnosis.”
“Why should I get hospitalized?” Luo Xiaolang didn’t understand and was very resistant in that moment. “I don’t even want to take medication.”
“Get admitted immediately.” The doctor didn’t want to expound further.
He was afraid of frightening her.
“I’m not getting admitted.” Luo Xiaolang picked up her lab results and planned to leave.
“Are you aware of the consequences if you don’t get admitted?” The doctor raised his voice at Luo Xiaolang.
Unexpectedly, the young girl was so stubborn.
Luo Xiaolang stared at the doctor.
The doctor spoke, telling her bluntly, “There’s a high probability that you have gastric cancer. Are you aware of that?”
Luo Xiaolang continued to stare at the doctor.
What’s gastric cancer?
“Go home and think about it then. I would recommend you to get admitted as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences could be unimaginable.”
Luo Xiaolang didn’t really listen to what the doctor had to say.
Unimaginable consequences indeed.
She didn’t want to come to the hospital in the first place.
And now they’re insisting she needs to stay in the hospital?!
She angrily stormed out of the doctor’s office.
Not far from the office, she heard someone sobbing uncontrollably.
She didn’t pay attention until she heard the lady crying, “He was only diagnosed with gastric cancer a month ago, only one month and now he is gone, leaving me all alone, how am I supposed to live now…”
Gastric cancer?
Was it the one the doctor mentioned just now?
She turned to look at the old lady and asked, “What do you mean gone? Has he gone somewhere else?”
The old woman stared at Luo Xiaolang, her face growling in sadness and anger, “What do you mean by gone? How can people just be gone?!”
Her voice was loud, drawing the attention of many people around her.
Somebody couldn’t stand it anymore and grabbed Luo Xiaolang, “How could you ask such a question? The man has passed away and you are still imposing on her. How could you be so ill-mannered?”
Passed away?!
Luo Xiaolang stared blankly at them.
“You’re saying…if you get gastric cancer, you could die?” Luo Xiaolang asked.
“Enough with your questions.” A middle-aged woman next to her said harshly, “Just leave!”
“The doctor just said that I also have gastric cancer.” Luo Xiaolang stated bluntly.
The angry woman suddenly paused, changed her expression to one of deep sympathy, “Such a young girl, diseases these days really don’t discriminate by age… Young lady, don’t be scared, you’re young and still have a chance.”
“So, getting this disease means one is doomed to die?” Luo Xiaolang asked earnestly.
The woman didn’t know how to respond. She said, “Cooperate well with the doctor’s treatment. You should be able to live longer.”
“So, I’m still going to die.” Luo Xiaolang murmured.
The woman wanted to say something else.
But Luo Xiaolang was already gone.
She went back to her car.
She felt a bit dazed in that moment.
She didn’t really believe what everyone was saying. She picked up her phone to search online.
She searched for a long time. 𝚏𝗿𝗲ew𝐞b𝐧o𝚟𝚎𝗹.com
Turns out, there really is a disease in this world that can kill you, and quite quickly at that.
She put down her phone.
She remained calm.
But she didn’t seem to fear death.
Back when she was training at the Wulin Temple, she always took part in dangerous activities. The master there would ask her if she wanted to die, she was never at peace.
Her reply to the master was, “If I die, so be it. I’m not afraid.”
She put down her phone and drove off.
Since she was going to die anyway, why bother staying in a hospital?
She didn’t want to die in a place where she knew no one. If she were to die, she’d rather do so at the Wulin Temple.
