Chapter 821: Brother Yiheng is Not Ordinary (3)
The ambassador’s daughter asked her father in disbelief: “Father, who is that man? Why are you being so nice to him?”
“He’s an incredible person. Back when I was in a war zone, I was once held hostage by a bunch of rebels. He and a small group of people led by him rescued us. He also rescued many other important individuals.”
The ambassador answered his daughter’s question.
“Really? Is he that incredible?”
“Yeah, he is.”
On the way back, Jian Yiheng said to Jian Yiling: “I rescued you. You should thank me.”
Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling said: “Thank you.”
“Are you thanking me with just words?”
It seemed as though Jian Yiheng was not satisfied with his sister’s verbal ‘thank you’.
Jian Yiling looked at Jian Yiheng in confusion. She did not know what he wanted.
“I want to go to your apartment for dinner. Let’s go to the supermarket right now,” Jian Yiheng said.
Dinner? Supermarket?
Jian Yiling finally realized what he meant after a few seconds.
Later at night, Jian Yiheng appeared in the living room of Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng’s apartment.
Jian Yiling was currently being busy in the kitchen. She was preparing a hot and fragrant meal for him.
To thank Jian Yiheng, Jian Yiling prepared a table of dishes that Jian Yiheng liked to eat. Furthermore, the portions of each dish were more than usual.
Jian Yichen happily came to eat dinner as well.
At the dinner table, Jian Yichen curiously asked Jian Yiheng: “Brother, when did you become friends with that ambassador?”
“We’re not friends. However, I saved him in passing when I was in the war zone.”
Jian Yiheng casually replied to Jian Yichen’s question. It seemed as though he did not put much thought into the reply.
Instead, the meal in front of him was much more attractive.
Jian Yiling suddenly remembered a question to ask Jian Yichen: “Yufan wanted me to ask you why you don’t like her.”
This was a ‘take’ that Qin Yufan gave Jian Yiling.
Qin Yufan wanted Jian Yiling to take an ‘indirect approach’ to make her better understand Jian Yichen’s inner thoughts.
However, Jian Yiling clearly did not know how to take an ‘indirect approach’.
“I already told her why. I don’t plan to get married.”
Upon hearing this, Jian Yiheng stopped eating. Then, he said: “Who allowed you not to get married?”
“Brother, you can work a bit harder. The task of carrying on our ancestral line will be left to you. Either way, I don’t plan to get married,” Jian Yichen said with a smile on his face.
As he always acted like this, Jian Yiheng decided to ignore these words. He assumed that his brother was saying this without thinking much into the matter.

Qin Hongzhi was really at his wit’s end.
His condition was deteriorating rapidly.
The treatment plan given by the hospital could only alleviate his symptoms to a certain extent. They could not cure his illness.
It felt terrible to slowly watch his life disseminate.
And thus, Qin Hongzhi called Qin Chuan to his hospital bed.
“I know you’ve always held resentment towards me in your heart. If it weren’t for the fact that your mother didn’t want you to be a child without a father, you would have never recognized me as your father in the first place.”
Qin Chuan was silent.
Although his face did not show any expression, Qin Hongzhi’s words still touched his heartstrings.
Qin Hongzhi continued to speak: “With my condition right now, I believe that I’m going to die soon. Therefore, I need to clarify a few things with you. First of all, as long as the matter involves shaking the foundation of the Qin Group, you must not do it. This is even the case if I’m going to die. In other words, the equity and shares of the Qin Group must not be given to outsiders.”
