He glanced at his watch; there were ten minutes left.
So, Yin Xi briefly recounted her story with Qin Si Ye.
After listening, Jin Jingchen looked at her in astonishment, "What? Zi Shuo's biological father is President Qin, and he's a triplet? You have two other children?"
"Yes," Yin Xi replied calmly.
Jin Jingchen's gaze was complex, but he quickly composed himself, "Congratulations, Yin Xi. President Qin is an exceptionally capable man. With him protecting you, you will surely live a happy and fulfilling life."
"Thank you." Yin Xi saw that it was almost time and stood up, "I also wish you find your other half soon. Rest well, I won't disturb you any longer."
"Okay. Please convey my regards to President Qin, tell him that once I've recovered, I will definitely find an opportunity to thank him properly."
Jin Jingchen supported himself on his sides and sat up with difficulty.
"Mm." Yin Xi left the room and gave Tang Ran a few more instructions before heading to another ward.
Just as Tang Ran turned to push open the door, Jin Zhen Ting's voice came from behind.
"Tang Ran, was that woman just now Doctor Yin?"
Tang Ran turned around and saw the butler pushing Jin Zhen Ting towards her.
"Yes. She came to check on Young Master Jin the Second." Tang Ran replied.
Jin Zhen Ting frowned and asked, "Who is the patient she's looking after?"
"I'm sorry, Grandpa Jin, I… I really don't know." Tang Ran replied in a low voice. Yin Xi was her boss; as an employee, she couldn't proactively inquire about her personal life.
Pushing open the ward door, Jin Zhen Hao's eyes reddened with emotion as he saw his beloved son had woken up.
"Jingchen, you're finally awake. Dad was so worried."
"Dad, I'm fine. You must take good care of yourself." Jin Jingchen squeezed his hand, reassuring him with a relaxed expression.
"How can you be fine? This is a serious injury that will keep you in bed for months."
Tears welled up in Jin Zhen Ting's eyes, then his voice turned cold, "That beast Jin Zhan Hao, I will not let him go. I'll make him spend more years in prison. And that mother and daughter, they were also complicit; I will expel them from the Jin family and never let them step foot inside again."
Jin Jingchen remained silent, merely patting his father's hand, urging him not to get too agitated. His father's actions were exactly what he desired. After these incidents, he finally understood. Yielding to those who were utterly wicked would only lead to his own harm. Only by firmly controlling power and wealth could one control their own destiny and protect those they wished to protect.
After composing himself, Jin Zhen Ting looked at his son with curiosity.
"Jingchen, Doctor Yin said you were classmates. Did you two know each other long ago? Why have I never heard you mention it?"
"She was my high school classmate. I transferred schools back then, so we lost touch until we met again some time ago," Jin Jingchen explained simply. It seemed they had already met, and he didn't need to say more to his father.
"Oh, I see." Jin Zhen Ting looked at him thoughtfully. "I never expected that at such a young age, she would become an internationally renowned doctor. She must have been a top student back in school, right?"
"Yes. She was the best student in our class," Jin Jingchen replied, his thoughts drifting back more than a decade. The image of the young, handsome, and captivating girl immediately surfaced in his mind.
"I think she wasn't just good at studying, but probably the class beauty as well?" Jin Zhen Ting continued to inquire.
Jin Jingchen replied without hesitation, "Yes. She was not only our class beauty but also our school beauty. Many people wrote her love letters back then."
"Were you one of them?" Jin Zhen Ting asked abruptly.
Jin Jingchen realized he had fallen into his father's trap and quickly denied it, "No. Dad, don't guess."
"I remember you were the class monitor back then, outstanding in both looks and academics. You were in puberty, so liking someone is normal. I don't believe you never had feelings for her?" Jin Zhen Ting patted his hand with a knowing smile.
