Uncle Er walked closer to him, and seeing that apart from his voice sounding like he had a cold, there was nothing else wrong with him, he said with a fawning smile, "It's good that you're alright. You're the only one in our Qin family who's doing so well in Lancheng. If anything happens to you, our Qin family will be completely finished..."
As he spoke, he choked up, putting on a convincing act.
Qin Tianyi sneered inwardly but said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Er. Since you've come all this way to visit me, did Susu make any mistakes while presiding over the meeting for me?"
"No, no," Uncle Er quickly waved his hands.
Tianyi asked again, "Then has your small stake in Aoxiang been affected?"
"Not at all." Uncle Er was counting on that remaining stake for his retirement and was afraid Tianyi would take it back.
"Since there's nothing wrong, then please leave. My viral cold isn't completely better yet, and it's inconvenient to entertain you," Tianyi said coldly, looking at Uncle Er and unceremoniously ushering him out.
Uncle Er's face immediately fell. "Then rest well. Hmph, I'm leaving!"
Susu immediately followed Uncle Er, who had already turned to leave, and escorted him all the way to the main gate. "Please don't be angry. He just has that temper, and he's always been blunt with his words..."
"Don't try to cover for him. He's a junior, and no matter how capable he is, he shouldn't always look down on people like this!" Uncle Er wanted to save face and said, "I know your family has high standards. I won't come again even if you invite me in the future!"
"Please don't be angry, don't be angry. Be careful on the road." Susu watched him get into his car and drive away before sighing in relief.
Tianyi sat on the sofa, unable to calm down for a long time. What he had feared had happened. Before he had even had surgery, some people were already getting restless.
When Susu returned to the living room, Tianyi felt that some things should be properly explained to her.
"Did Uncle Er say anything before he left? Did he notice anything?" Tianyi asked.
Susu felt much more relaxed and sat down beside Tianyi. "He put on airs of an elder. He probably didn't notice anything."
Tianyi fumbled for her hand and said, "Take me back to the bedroom."
"Is your head bothering you again?" Susu asked quickly.
Tianyi smiled and said, "I'm fine. Don't be too nervous. Let's go back to the room. I have something to tell you."
Susu helped him up, not knowing what he wanted to say, and slowly led him back to the bedroom on the second floor.
As soon as Tianyi entered the bedroom, he instructed Susu to open the safe and told her what was in the different colored file bags.
Susu heard him say that these bags contained the group's shares, all his private assets, and a will that had already been drawn up...
"Tianyi, why did you make a will?"
"Open this will and see if there's anything that needs to be changed."
"I won't look."
Tianyi spoke calmly, as if making final arrangements. "Later, when Xiao Xingxing grows up, if Aoxiang Group is still around, I hope he can inherit my career. Hengheng has Shu's Group, so I'm not worried. Tiantian is a girl, and I've left her a generous dowry. I don't know if I'll see her get married, but even if she doesn't, this amount is enough for her to live on for a lifetime..."
"Tianyi, what are you talking about! We will see them grow up and get married together, we definitely will." Susu didn't want to hear any more.
"I'm just saying, in case." Tianyi felt that some things could no longer be avoided. "Actually, what I worry about most is you. If I'm not around, you must live well and help me watch over and accompany the children as they grow up, okay?"
Susu, scared and unable to face it, flatly refused, "I won't accompany them for you. If you want to accompany them, you do it yourself!"
"Susu, don't be like this. Can you calm down?" Tianyi tried to grab her hand but fumbled and couldn't find it. "Even if I survive the surgery, I'll need a long time to recover. At that time, both the group and the family will have to rely on you alone. It's nothing for me to make some arrangements in advance. Whether I'm here or not, you have to be strong."
Susu held back tears and said, "After the surgery, you just focus on resting. I will be strong. As long as you are well, I can support everything for you."
"I know you can. An Jing also said you are very capable," Tianyi said with a smile.
Susu put down the file bag she was holding and hugged him tightly. "But no matter how capable I am, I can't do it without you. Please don't scare me anymore, okay?"
Tianyi patted her back and said, "Okay, I definitely won't leave you all."
Although she knew he was just saying comforting words, she dared to think of the best possible outcome and refused to consider the "what if" he had mentioned.
Tianyi continued, "By the way, there's also a blue file bag in the safe, which contains evidence of Sophie killing Auntie Chen. I'm giving this to you too. Whether you want to keep her locked up or hand her over to the police is entirely up to you."
Susu was stunned and looked at him with red eyes. "You can accept handing this evidence over to the police and letting the law punish her?"
"Yes, I've also come to realize. You're right, by taking revenge in my own way for Auntie Chen, Auntie Chen can't come back to life anyway, and I would only become like Yang Sijie and Lu Yuanhong. So, I've decided to leave her matter to you as well."
"Are you really willing to let it go?" Susu still couldn't believe he had figured it out.
He hadn't let it go. He would never forgive Sophie, but he just didn't want hatred to cloud his judgment.
Whether she was mentally ill or not, the legal process should still be followed, rather than placing oneself above the law.
"Mm, I believe you will handle it well. If you make a decision, find Xiao Lin. Besides you, he's the one who knows this matter best."
Susu immediately understood and said, "After you locked Sophie up, it was Xiao Lin who often brought her food and water?"
"Yes, so he knows the specific location where Sophie is being held. After my surgery, he'll take you there." Tianyi knew Susu would hand over the evidence to the police, and Sophie would be taken away by them. Some things didn't need to be kept from her anymore.
"Okay, I understand." Susu took out the blue file bag and glanced at it. "I will consider it carefully."
After Tianyi had finished explaining everything to Susu, he was still wondering if there was anything he had missed.
At that moment, Susu's phone vibrated briefly. She quickly checked the new text message she had received.
"Susu, the neurosurgeon has finally agreed. If all goes well, Tianyi can have surgery next week."
Susu's hands trembled as she looked at the message from An Jing. Her feelings were very complicated. Although she had been hoping for Tianyi to have surgery soon, she was also afraid the surgery might fail.
"What's wrong? Who sent you the message?" Tianyi couldn't see her expression, but he could sense what she was afraid of.
