Chapter 19 Restoring Fortunes
"That's how you refer to your Third Elder Brother?" Madam Qin sighed lightly when she saw his cold expression. "Are you really planning to never acknowledge him as your brother?"
Seeing her trying to be a peacemaker, Qin Lie took the phone without any expression and calmly said, "Hang up."
After speaking, he ended the video call.
He stood by the window, clenching his fist, restraining his emotions. Even his back revealed a sense of coldness and aloofness.
The atmosphere suddenly turned icy, and the temperature in the room dropped to its lowest point.
Zhouzhou looked at him with concern. "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Why does he look so angry?
Qin Lie didn't explain anything to her. He glanced at her faintly and said, "Go to sleep."
Since he didn't want to talk about it, Zhouzhou didn't pursue further and kept thinking about the matter in her little mind.
Dad's Third Elder Brother, that must be her Third Elder Uncle. They are all sons of one mother, so why do they look like enemies?
It's so strange.
She blinked her eyes, unable to understand this matter, and fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, Zhouzhou pulled Qin Lie to the hospital. She wanted to bring this matter to a conclusion.
Qin Rui had been in a car accident and suffered severe injuries. He had his leg amputated to save his life.
When Qin Lie arrived at the hospital room, he saw Qin Rui, who had a pale face. In just a few days, he had aged significantly. His face looked ferocious, his eyes sunk deep, and there was no trace of his previous gentle appearance. Instead, he seemed gloomier.
Zhouzhou, however, was not surprised. Appearance reflects the heart, and this was the most authentic him.
She walked to the bedside and stared at him for a while, nodding in satisfaction.
The Evil God had already absorbed all the fortunes he had stolen from Dad. As long as she refined the spiritual energy in the jade pendant, Dad would be able to fully recover his previous good fortune.
Upon hearing movement, Qin Rui opened his eyes and saw them. He was startled. "You...?"
Then he turned his head to look at Qin Lie. Seeing Qin Lie's calm gaze without any surprise, a thought suddenly struck his mind. Trembling, he said, "You... you already know?"
Qin Lie walked to the side, sat on a chair, casually brushed his sleeve, and said, "Is Uncle talking about your embezzlement and kickbacks, or about raising the Evil God to steal my fortunes?"
He knew!
Thinking of what he had done, Qin Rui's heart suddenly panicked. Ignoring the pain, he propped himself up and said, "A'lie, it's all my fault. Uncle was deceived for a moment. Uncle has already been punished. Please forgive me."
As he spoke, he cried even harder.@@@@
"Uncle has been miserable his whole life and no longer wants to live a life that makes others look down on him."
After avenging herself, Zhouzhou happily clapped her hands, feeling satisfied.
The more malicious intent he harbored, the greater the power of the Heaven Punishment Talisman. Now she didn't have to worry about him doing bad things again. If he dared to harm others, he would harm himself first.
With a soft snort, Zhouzhou ran up to Qin Lie's side, holding onto his clothes, looking up at him. Her big round eyes were adorable, completely different from the mischievous little demon from before.
Qin Lie glanced at her and walked towards the garage.
"CEO Qin, are we going to the airport now?"
They had finished everything, and today they were returning to Jing City.
However, it was still early, and the flight was at least an hour delayed, so there was no need to rush.
Upon hearing the question, Qin Lie glanced at the little girl beside him and nodded slightly, "Yes, let's go."
The assistant didn't say anything anymore and started the car. They drove smoothly, encountering green lights all the way, and arrived at the airport's reception area. Just as they were thinking about what to have for lunch, they suddenly heard an announcement on the PA system calling them to board the plane.
He couldn't believe it and glanced at the time, dumbfounded. This time, the flight wasn't delayed?!
Indeed, it was true.
Qin Lie tapped his finger lightly on the table, his gaze briefly passing over Zhouzhou, his eyes growing deeper. Ever since Qin Rui appeared, his flights were always delayed. But now that she had taken care of him, everything was back to normal. Even though he didn't believe in any mystical things, the fact was right in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it.
What shocked him even more was that the little girl beside him, only four years old, possessed such extraordinary abilities. If he were to tell this to anyone, they probably wouldn't believe it.
Zhouzhou was hugging Ancestral Master statue and examining how well the golden light on his body had recovered. It was not easy, but she finally found a small golden spot under his fingernail, which made her breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out that removing evil gods was effective. Now she knew what to do in the future.
As long as she captured more spiritual beings and did good deeds, her grayish Ancestral Master statue would turn into a golden one.
She looked at the barely noticeable golden spot, filled with determination.
Sensing his gaze, Zhouzhou turned her head and blinked her eyes. Understanding the meaning in his eyes, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and playfully approached him, saying, "Dad, do you think I'm super amazing?"
"I know a lot of things, you know. It's definitely worth it to raise me!"
Qin Lie averted his gaze, acting indifferent. "Whether it's worth it or not, we'll find out in the future."
Zhouzhou pouted but wasn't discouraged.
She would show him her best!
The rest of the journey went smoothly. The plane landed on time, and Qin Family's car came to pick them up.
When they arrived at the Qin Family's residence, Zhouzhou happily ran inside.
While running, she shouted, "Grandma!"
However, as soon as she pushed open the door, a ball larger than her head came straight at her and slammed into her head...
