“You are Ye Zhiqing?” Qin Zheng was pushed out by the impatient Second Master Qin. He stood in front of Ye Zhiqing and sized her up arrogantly.

Ye Zhiqing didn’t like this gaze. She nodded coldly and said, “That’s right. You are?”

Qin Zheng didn’t answer. “Then come with me.” He didn’t know why his second grandpa wanted to see her so excitedly after investigating this girl last time. There was nothing special about this girl. Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at her. She was just a little beautiful…

Could it be that… Second Grandpa was in love?

As soon as this thought surfaced in his mind, he shuddered and quickly shook his head. That was impossible. How could a person like his second grandfather covet someone who could be his granddaughter?

Ye Zhiqing looked at his strange actions in confusion and looked at Dean Tian. He had not finished answering.

How would Dean Tian dare to say anything else? He hurriedly pushed her and said, “Quickly follow Young Master Qin.”

Ye Zhiqing could only follow him. When she arrived at the door of the ward, she heard a cough from inside. It was heart-wrenching proof that the patient inside was not optimistic.

Qin Zheng’s gaze changed and he quickly pushed open the door. He saw Second Master Qin, who had fallen to the ground. His hand was reaching for a cup. He must have accidentally fallen to the ground when he was about to take the cup.

“Second Grandpa!” Qin Zheng wanted to help him up.

“Stop,” Ye Zhiqing quickly said. She took a step forward and pushed him away. At this moment, she couldn’t touch the old man. She carefully helped him straighten up and let him lie on the ground. She unbuttoned his neck and quickly helped him calm his breathing.

Qin Zheng, who was pushed to the ground, did not stop it from happening and watched nervously.

Second Master Qin’s coughing gradually stopped, and his expression became much better. He opened his eyes and saw Ye Zhiqing, whose expression was serious. Her tightly pursed lips resembled that woman very much. He shouted absentmindedly, “Wen Shu.”

Qin Zheng was shocked. Wen Shu? This name had always been a taboo in the Qin family. When he was a child, his second grandpa almost destroyed the entire Qin family because of this woman. After that, his second grandpa disappeared for a long time. When he came back, he was already a disabled person. From then on, this name never appeared again.

Ye Zhiqing didn’t care at all. Seeing that his expression had improved, she stopped and asked, “Sir, are you still feeling unwell?”

Second Master Qin blinked his eyes and came back to his senses. He put away the pained expression in his eyes and smiled lovingly. He said, “I’m fine. It’s just an old illness.”

Qin Zheng helped him up and sat him back in the wheelchair. Second Master Qin kept staring at Ye Zhiqing. Ye Zhiqing recalled Dean Tian’s words, looked at this old man, and said, “It seems like you’re not suffering from any external injuries, so why did you call me here?”

A hint of admiration flashed across Second Master Qin’s eyes. “You’re very smart.”

Ye Zhiqing waited for him to continue.

A hint of complicated emotions flashed across Second Master Qin’s eyes. He asked, “Where are your parents?”

Ye Zhiqing frowned and felt that he was very strange. She said, “This has nothing to do with you, right? If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”

With that, she really turned around to leave.

Qin Zheng said unhappily, “Do you know who we are? How dare you talk to my second grandpa like that.”

Ye Zhiqing paused in her footsteps and said without turning her head, “No matter who you are, I’m a doctor. You’re all patients to me.”

“Child, we don’t have any ill intentions. I just have something to tell you,” Second Master Qin waved his hand to stop Qin Zheng and said.

Ye Zhiqing suddenly felt that the things he said would cause a huge change in her life, but… she wanted to hear it.

She turned around and looked at the old man in the wheelchair.

Second Master Qin looked at her with clear eyes and kindness. He said, “Qin Zheng, go out for a while.”

Qin Zheng froze. He glanced at Ye Zhiqing and retreated.

Half an hour passed. Ye Zhiqing walked out of the ward in a daze. Without even looking at Qin Zheng, she walked past him and out.

“Hey—” Before he could finish speaking, Ye Zhiqing had already left.

“What a rude woman,” he muttered under his breath.

Dean Tian walked over and asked ingratiatingly, “Young Master Qin, do you need me to call her back?”
