Chapter 13 A Daughter's Generosity

The following morning, Qin Ye, a recent resident of Sunshine Community, observed Li Yuying emerging from the adjacent room with a look of excitement on her face. She eagerly inquired, "Dr. Qin, I received a transfer of forty million last night. Did you sell the design drawings?" "Yes, I did sell them," Qin Ye replied with a smile. "Auntie, I apologize for not being able to negotiate the price up to one hundred million. Forty million was the best offer I could secure." He chose not to disclose the truth! The design drawings remained in his possession. After all, these were Jiang Nian's most prized work, and he intended to personally deliver them to her once she had fully recovered. Nevertheless, with Jiang Tao obediently transferring forty million, it appeared that he had settled down. "Dr. Qin, what are you saying? I am already very content with the forty million," Li Yuying expressed, gripping Qin Ye's hands tightly. "I plan to give you three million upfront as medical expenses for Jiang Nian. You traveled all this way to treat her, and I cannot let you leave empty-handed." "Thank you, Auntie. I have been meaning to discuss this with you for some time. I am truly out of funds," Qin Ye responded. He did not decline the offer, as not asking for anything might arouse suspicions about his identity. "Alright, please provide me with your account number, and I will transfer the money to you at the bank later. I am pressed for time and must head to work. Dr. Qin, I entrust Nian Nian to your care. Thank you so much!" "No problem," Qin Ye assured. "Auntie, just a moment. I have a question for you. Did the hit-and-run driver who injured Jiang Nian not mention compensation?" Upon hearing this, Li Yuying's expression turned fierce. "That scoundrel Zhao Xin did promise to pay three thousand yuan monthly initially, but he stopped after two months. When I confronted him, I was assaulted. His uncle is a gangster... I am afraid to pursue the matter further, lest Meng Meng and Nian Nian be put in harm's way." Qin Ye's eyes narrowed at this revelation, his anger simmering. He clenched his fists tightly. How could this be happening?? It seems I must locate Zhao Xin and have a conversation with him. Given his uncle's criminal connections, perhaps I can uncover the truth behind the accident from them. "Let it go, Dr. Qin. Let us not revisit this issue. They wield significant influence, and we cannot afford to provoke them," Li Yuying sighed before departing. As Li Yuying left, Mengmeng, clad in adorable pajamas, emerged from the bedroom. She approached Qin Ye and presented him with a shoebox, saying, "Uncle, these are the cloth shoes I purchased for you yesterday. Your shoes appear worn out." Boom... Upon hearing this, Qin Ye froze, his eyes turning red as he gazed at the cloth shoes handed to him by Mengmeng. His daughter had bought him shoes!! Suddenly, an overwhelming urge to roar and weep overcame Qin Ye. He believed that receiving a gift from his daughter would bring immense joy to any father. However, he did not receive Mengmeng's gift as a father. But as an uncle!! Nonetheless, Qin Ye embraced the cloth shoes tightly. To him, the inexpensive cloth shoes were more valuable than any treasure! This was his daughter's inaugural gift to him. "Thank you... thank you, Mengmeng," Qin Ye expressed, hugging the cloth shoes closely. Mengmeng beamed with delight upon seeing Qin Ye's appreciation for the gift. "Uncle, it's just a pair of cloth shoes, very affordable. If you like them, Mengmeng will buy you more in the future." Not inexpensive!! These fabric shoes were quite expensive. Suddenly, Qin Ye felt an impulse. If possible, he wanted to create a family of three with Jiang Nian and Mengmeng, spending a lifetime together and living happily! At the thought of this, a bitter smile crossed Qin Ye's face. He felt that he was being unrealistic. A few days ago, when Jiang Nian woke up, he was filled with hatred and wanted to kill him. Why did he deserve Jiang Nian's forgiveness? Why did he imagine forming a family of three with Jiang Nian? He... was delusional!! Perhaps, when Jiang Nian wakes up, his daughter will see him as an enemy. Thinking of this, Qin Ye's body trembled, his eyes filled with fear. Before leaving, Mengmeng earnestly instructed, "Uncle, grandma left lunch money on the table. Take mom out for lunch at noon! Make sure to eat plenty and don't go hungry." "Okay." Qin Ye waved goodbye to Mengmeng as she quickly left with her little backpack. Qin Ye followed Mengmeng all the way out, watching her enter the school before finally returning home feeling relieved!! At this time, Jiang Nian had not yet woken up, still lying in bed sound asleep, with a slight frown on his forehead and occasionally mumbling in his sleep, looking very cute. While Jiang Nian was asleep, Qin Ye secretly checked his pulse and found that his meridians were unstable. It seemed that Jiang Nian must have had a nightmare, but it wasn't a big problem. Back in the living room, Qin Ye glanced at the fabric shoes on the table and couldn't wait to put them on. "Hmm?" Qin Ye frowned as the shoes felt a bit tight. Although uncomfortable, Qin Ye didn't take them off. Instead, he forcefully wiggled his toes, trying to stretch the shoes until they felt more comfortable, and only stopped when his toes felt better. Next, Qin Ye noticed a photo on the table, a picture of Mengmeng and Jiang Nian together. In the photo, Jiang Nian was wearing a black windbreaker, sunglasses, exuding a powerful aura all over his body, especially with that confident smile, giving off a sense of overlooking the world, standing at the peak, feeling the coldness from the heights. Qin Ye couldn't help but turn his head to look at Jiang Nian on the bed, his eyes full of guilt. She is a very powerful woman. But he ruined everything, he really deserved to die!! "Mengmeng..." At this moment, Jiang Nian's voice came from the room. Qin Ye saw the other person waking up, immediately put down the photo and came to the door of the room, saying, "Jiang Nian, Mengmeng has gone to school. I will take care of you during the day from now on. Get up first, then have breakfast." "I don't want you to take care of me, I want Mengmeng to take care of me!" "You leave, don't stay in my house." Seeing Qin Ye, Jiang Nian's eyes flashed with displeasure, and immediately shouted loudly. "Mengmeng is learning knowledge." Qin Ye said gently. "No, I want Mengmeng, let her come back to take care of me." Jiang Nian threw off the blanket, jumped up, with messy hair like a crazy woman: "You leave quickly, I don't want you to take care of me." At this moment, Jiang Nian was like a child with morning grumpiness, shouting and making people headache. Qin Ye was not someone who liked to coax people, but facing Jiang Nian, he showed no displeasure, very patiently coaxing the other person, showing extreme gentleness, as if being able to coax Jiang Nian was a happy thing for him. The other person's enthusiasm gradually made Jiang Nian relax his guard, but still had some resistance towards Qin Ye. "I usually have Mengmeng feed me when I eat." Jiang Nian looked up at Qin Ye, looking aggrieved.
