"Okay. I understand what you mean." Jin Zhanting took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart,
"These ungrateful wretches, once the results are out, I will definitely not let them off."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Tang Ran pushed the door open and whispered to them, "Second Young Master Jin, someone is coming upstairs."
Upon hearing this, Jin Jingchen exchanged a look with his father and quickly helped him back into bed.

At Xinglan Bay, Yin Xi personally cooked a table full of delicious dishes.
The family sat happily together, eating and chatting, creating a warm atmosphere.
"Uncle, when will you be back after going abroad this time?" Chenchen suddenly asked, bringing up a topic everyone was reluctant to mention.
Yin Zhe smiled and affectionately ruffled Chenchen's hair, "Probably around Chinese New Year."
Yanyan's eyes widened. "Ah? It'll take that long? That means we won't see Uncle for several months."
Yin Zhe couldn't help but look up at his sister. Seeing her with her head down, she seemed quite sad.
"How could that be? Don't we have WeChat? We can video chat," Yin Zhe still wore a sunshine-like smile.
"Right. Zhe'ge is right, with video chat, we can see each other often." Hearing this, Yin Xi suddenly lifted her head, her eyes sparkling.
The haze in her heart seemed to have vanished instantly.
Yin Zhe was going abroad to study, not to become unreachable like before. What was there for her to worry about? There was no need to be so sentimental.
At this moment, Shuoshuo asked again, "Uncle, will you miss us?"
"Of course," Yin Zhe replied immediately, then added with a smile, "If you all are good and live comfortably, I can study with peace of mind, finish my thesis quickly, and return home soon."
After speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Qin Siye and Yin Xi.
These words were not just for the children; their underlying meaning was conveyed to the two adults present.
"Uncle, don't worry, we will be good, take care of ourselves, and wait for you to come back soon," Chenchen said with a serious expression.
The other two little darlings nodded solemnly.
Qin Siye, who had been sitting at the head of the table and hadn't spoken, suddenly said, "Zhe'ge, study abroad with peace of mind, finish your thesis well, and don't worry too much about things at home."
"Okay. Siye'ge, with your words, I'm reassured," Yin Zhe said, respectfully standing up and raising his glass to him. "Siye'ge, I toast you with this glass."
The subsequent conversation was very relaxed and pleasant.
After eating and resting on the sofa for a while, Yin Zhe, fearing he would delay Yin Xi from going to the Qin family's old residence, stood up to say goodbye.
As Yin Zhe had drunk some alcohol, Qin Siye arranged for a driver to personally take Yin Zhe back to Hua Banli.
Yin Xi saw him off at the villa entrance, smiled, and hugged him. "Zhe'ge, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning to take you to the airport."
"Okay. Sister, I'm leaving now, you go ahead and attend to your business." Yin Zhe waved to her and got into the passenger seat.
Yin Xi returned to the hall. Qin Siye had just hung up a call and stood up from the sofa, asking, "Are you planning to go to the Qin family's old residence to perform acupuncture for Grandma?"
"Yes. I originally planned to go in the morning, but because Zhe'ge came, I changed it to the afternoon," Yin Xi replied, her expression normal.
"Then it's perfect, we can go together. My father said he has something to discuss with me," Qin Siye looked at her with a gentle gaze.
"Okay. Then let's go now," Yin Xi thought nothing of it and walked to the coffee table to pick up the medical kit.
Seeing that both Mommy and Daddy were going to the old residence, the three children ran over and clamored to go along.
Chenchen said, "Daddy, Mommy, it's the weekend today, and we don't have anything to do at home. Please take us with you."
Yanyan said, "Yes, it's probably been a week since we last saw them. Great-Grandma and Grandpa must miss us. We miss them too."
Shuoshuo chimed in, "And last week, I promised Great-Grandma that I would teach her to play Rubik's Cubes when I visited."
After listening to the three little ones, Yin Xi pursed her lips and smiled, "Since you all want to go so much, let's go."
The family of five appeared in the Qin family's old residence hall. Everyone except Qin Siyu and Qin Xiuyi was present.
Their faces were all tense, as if they had just gone through an unpleasant argument.
