Chapter 363: Chapter 363: Sorry, Brain Cells are No Longer Available

Seeing Wei Minglan cradling the glass bottle like a treasure, Jiang Zhe’s lips curled into a smile, "However, I have already treated them with a special drug, these brain cells have lost their vitality, they are no more than a bottle of brain cells in the literal sense."

"You!" Wei Minglan was shocked and heartbroken, her eyes reddening.

She immediately examined the glass bottle and indeed, the brain cells inside had shriveled and withered, becoming a clump of fluffy matter, completely unusable, merely a pile of useless surgical waste.

"Jiang Zhe!" Wei Minglan gnashed her teeth.

It was the hope of another son that Jiang Zhe had completely destroyed.

Fury overtook Qin Li, and he raised his hand to strike at Jiang Zhe.

"Dad!" Qin Jingchen’s weak voice came through.

There was no reason for Qin Li to raise his hand against Jiang Zhe in the first place, and at this moment, it completely stalled.

Jiang Zhe turned to look at Qin Jingchen, his face pale, but his eyes were already clear.

She had purposefully added a dose of anesthetic, not letting him sleep too long.

"Son!" Wei Minglan’s intense maternal love surged upon seeing Qin Jingchen.

It was a love and care that came from the bottom of her heart for Qin Jingchen.

Just as it was for Qin Kuo.

But this affection and care were, perhaps, unfairly excessive for Qin Jingchen.

Qin Jingchen walked over and stood next to Jiang Zhe, his voice low and unwaveringly firm, "Anyone who touches a hair on Jiang Zhe’s head, don’t blame me for being impolite."

Faced with Qin Jingchen, the guilt that rose in the hearts of Qin Li and Wei Minglan left them unable to say anything harsh.

"Are you feeling any better?" Wei Minglan asked.

Qin Jingchen’s answer was as expected, very brief, much like his feelings for them.

"I’m fine. You can go back."

The couple had more they wanted to say but didn’t voice it.

They turned and left.

"I was the one who asked Jiang Zhe to dispose of Qin Kuo’s brain cells. I owe Qin Kuo nothing; I don’t want to give him anything more."

Qin Jingchen said each word deliberately.

Qin Li and Wei Minglan turned back to take a deep look at him.

Jiang Zhe stood by Qin Jingchen’s side with an air of indifference, somewhat surprised that he would take upon himself the responsibility for this matter.

She didn’t want to trouble him and had never mentioned to him about his parents coming to find her and asking her to save Qin Kuo’s brain cells.

She had even increased the dosage of the anesthetic for him.

Yet, he seemed to know everything and was quite protective.

By now, the remaining parts of Qin Kuo’s brain cells were utterly useless, and Qin Li and Wei Minglan had no choice but to accept this outcome and continue to walk away.

Qin Jingchen raised his voice, his tone resolute, "Don’t let me see you treating Jiang Zhe with that attitude again."

Their steps paused momentarily before they started to walk away once more.

It was only after they were out of sight that Qin Jingchen’s tight breath relaxed, and his tall body started to sway unstably.

Jiang Zhe reached out to support him, "You need to rest quietly for two days after surgery, who allowed you to get up?"

"It was my fault." He answered very seriously and obediently.

As if he truly recognized his mistake.

If it weren’t for his palm wrapped around Jiang Zhe’s waist, she would have believed him.

Supporting him back to the hospital room that had already been prepared, Fen Ye had arranged for food and fruits. After seeing that Qin Jingchen was alright, he left with Qin Hai and Qin He.

Jiang Zhe sat down and said indifferently, "As you just heard, I killed all of Qin Kuo’s brain cells. Not a single one was left."

"I heard. You’re a doctor, so naturally, it’s up to you to handle it as you see fit."

"Alright," Jiang Zhe acknowledged. "No regrets?"

"Do I look like I regret it?" Qin Jingchen thought of the scar on her waist and felt that this treatment was too lenient; what he owed her couldn’t be compensated by this alone, "I’ve already repaid my debt to Qin Kuo."

For over a decade, he carried Qin Kuo’s brain cells and memories with his body, his body had been taken over by him, and with his own hand he had personally inflicted wounds on Jiang Zhe.

He had already repaid his debt to Qin Kuo many times over.

What happened to Qin Kuo afterwards was no longer of any concern to him.

Their brotherly relationship and affections also came to an end here.

"Good," Jiang Zhe responded calmly.

...

When the Qin Family matriarch learned that Qin Jingchen was hospitalized, she rushed over, finding that Qin Jingchen had already mostly recovered.

"What exactly happened?" the Qin Family matriarch demanded.

"A minor issue, I underwent a small surgery," Qin Jingchen said softly, "It’s all fine now."

Seeing that he had recovered as usual, the Qin Family matriarch slowly eased her worries.

After giving Qin Jingchen several words of advice, the old lady left with Tiao Chun.

Jiang Zhe went to see her out.

"Tiao Chun, help me buy two bottles of water," said the Qin Family matriarch.

Once Tiao Chun left, the Qin Family matriarch asked, "Was it you who performed the surgery on Jingchen?"

Jiang Zhe tacitly acknowledged.

"Such a surgery must be extremely difficult to perform, isn’t it?"

Jiang Zhe knew that she was aware of everything upon hearing her words.

Without further concealment, he said, "Difficult to perform, but it was still successful. Please rest assured."

"I had advised Qin Li and Wei Minglan against such risky actions from the start. To save one son, another was sacrificed. Over time, it always came down to sacrificing one for the other. But the children were theirs; my words as an old wife held no weight. Thankfully, you were there."

The Qin Family matriarch looked at Jiang Zhe with relief.

Jiang Zhe saw that she knew everything and understood the acuteness of the former matriarch of the Qin Family.

Each person’s choices are different, and naturally, different outcomes arise.

"The matter with Qin Kuo, don’t blame yourself," said the Qin Family matriarch. "You just made your own choice. Don’t take it too much to heart, just act like it never happened."

Jiang Zhe softly acknowledged.

With Tiao Chun’s water bought and returned, the Qin Family matriarch took one bottle, handed the other to Jiang Zhe, and said goodbye before turning to leave.

After Jiang Zhe returned, Qin Jingchen approached her and asked, "Did grandma speak about Qin Kuo?"

It seemed that in the whole Qin Family, everyone had a clear understanding of each other’s actions and thoughts, but found it very difficult to express them aloud.

Hence, for such a long time, Qin Kuo had become a taboo in the Qin Family, with everyone trying their best to avoid mentioning him.

This led to the Qin Family matriarch and Tiao Chun, and even in front of Qin Jingchen, not mentioning Qin Li and Wei Minglan. When they were not around, it was as if such people didn’t exist.

Jiang Zhe couldn’t anticipate the consequences of her actions this time, but as everything followed her heart, she did as she wished without regret.

"She said, she’s on our side." Jiang Zhe remained calm.

Qin Jingchen wasn’t surprised at all; he had long understood his grandmother’s intentions.

Jiang Zhe looked down, her gaze falling until the sweet fragrance of fruit came to her lips, and then she opened her mouth to eat, raising her eyes to look at Qin Jingchen.
