Chapter 351: Chapter 351 Because Yanyan and I Are Friends

I heard my sister is in the hospital, so I came over.

Before he could finish his words, Bo Yunshen sneered coldly and interrupted him: "Even if the Qin Group’s proposal passes, Qin Yan will never choose the Qin Group!"

"Here’s some advice—give up while you still can!"

Qin Mingchuan didn’t believe him. He furrowed his brows, his handsome face full of stubbornness and determination: "Why? The Qin Group has a stake in my sister’s future. If my proposal passes, choosing the Qin Group wouldn’t be a loss!"

Bo Yunshen let out a laugh.

No wonder he’s the foolish younger brother—simple-minded, with all the nourishment probably growing on his face.

Bo Yunshen bypassed Qin Mingchuan without engaging further.

Qin Mingchuan grew anxious and followed closely behind Bo Yunshen, clutching a folder in his hand. "Brother-in-law, this is my updated proposal. Could you take a look at it?"

"If there’s anything dissatisfactory, I can revise it! I really hope the Bo Group can give the Qin Group a chance."

Bo Yunshen didn’t even turn his head.

The Qin Group?

A second-rate family business that fell from grace long ago—how could it compare to the Bo Group, perched atop the pinnacle of the industry?

The Qin Group could never satisfy Qin Yan’s ambition.

And moreover, back when Qin Yan’s reputation was ruined in Tong City, Qin Shicheng was undeniably involved. Dragging the Qin Group into this—Qin Yan hardly has the magnanimity for that!

"Such trivial documents should go through the Marketing Department’s process directly."

"Young Mr. Qin, the Bo Group operates across so many sectors. If all the documents required my review, I’d work myself to death!"

Qin Mingchuan pressed his lips together.

When they arrived at the hospital room, Qin Mingchuan unwittingly followed Bo Yunshen inside.

Seeing Lin Man, his pupils contracted in surprise.

She seemed astonished that Bo Yunshen and Qin Mingchuan appeared together, and she greeted Qin Mingchuan openly:

"Young Mr. Qin, we meet again."

Qin Mingchuan: "What are you doing here?"

"Because I’m friends with Yanyan, and also... with Yunshen."

Qin Mingchuan instinctively looked at Bo Yunshen, who still had an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips.

His brows raised slightly, his deep eyes carrying a vague hint of amusement. He... didn’t deny her claim.

"Daddy, where’s Mommy? Why did you come back alone?"

While Qin Mingchuan was still dazed, Qin Yinyin ran up to Bo Yunshen’s side. He was sitting by the hospital bed, while Qin Yinyin wrapped her arms around his neck from behind.

"She’s behind me."

Qin Yinyin blinked her thick, long eyelashes. She resembled Bo Yunshen greatly, and Qin Mingchuan’s eyes lit up.

He had seen Qin Yinyin before, but back then, he had been too focused on discussing collaboration with Qin Yan to speak with her.

Now, seeing her up close, Qin Mingchuan’s heart softened; he found her impossibly beautiful.

"Yinyin? Are you Yinyin?"

Qin Yinyin looked at him and nodded slightly, her gaze carrying a hint of wariness and resistance.

Qin Mingchuan noticed this and felt a pang of hurt: "I’m your uncle!"

"No, Mommy said she doesn’t have any relatives!"

Qin Yinyin rebutted instantly: "Mommy said I only have Daddy and Mommy, no uncle!"

"You’re a liar."

Saying that, Qin Yinyin straightened up and sat beside Bo Yunshen.

Feeling anxious, Qin Mingchuan quickly added: "Yinyin, I really am your uncle!"

"I can give you little gifts! Nobody else would do that, right?"

Qin Yinyin hesitated.

She tilted her head and glanced at Bo Yunshen, seeking reassurance: "Daddy, is he really my uncle?"

Bo Yunshen cast an impassive glance at Qin Mingchuan.

Clearly, Qin Yan didn’t want to acknowledge this familial tie. Bo Yunshen chuckled mockingly and nodded without hesitation: "Yes, your biological uncle."

"Blood-related, of course."

Qin Mingchuan’s grin widened as his gaze remained fixed on Qin Yinyin.

"Is there anything special you want? Uncle can buy it for you."

Although Qin Yinyin didn’t completely trust Bo Yunshen’s words, her eyes lit up at Qin Mingchuan’s offer.

Her eager gaze turned to Qin Mingchuan, but Bo Yunshen’s expression froze briefly.

Wasn’t Qin Yan supposed to spoil her child? Would Qin Yan ever deny her daughter anything she wanted?

Why was it that the mention of a small gift from Qin Mingchuan made her so excited?

Had Qin Yan been pretending to dote on her all this time?

Or was the Bo Family so strapped financially that they deliberately put on this act for him to see?

Bo Yunshen reached for the lighter on the table, lit his cigarette, and took a deep drag. The thick, white smoke unfurled, instantly blurring the expression on his face.

"Yinyin?"

"I... I want a puppy."

Qin Yinyin licked her lips, her eyes brimming with barely contained hope.

"On weekends, sometimes Mommy is busy. When I’m alone at home, I’d like a puppy to keep me company."

Busy on weekends?

The Bo Group didn’t work weekends—what could Qin Yan possibly be busy with?

Busy seducing men?

Bringing her child along would obviously be inconvenient!

Bo Yunshen chuckled coldly; being Qin Yan’s daughter seemed pitiable, needing a dog for companionship.

Sitting by the hospital bed, Lin Man’s eyes gleamed slightly as she turned her head to glance at Qin Yinyin.

Hearing her wish, Qin Mingchuan rejoiced: "Then I’ll come tomorrow and bring you a puppy!"

Qin Yinyin remembered her mother’s words. She wanted to refuse, but after hesitating for a while, she softly said, "Thank you."

Qin Mingchuan’s smile broadened as satisfaction filled his face, but the moment was quickly interrupted as Qin Yan entered the room holding a document.

Her expression was calm, but her presence was impossible to ignore. When Qin Mingchuan saw her, he instinctively straightened up: "Sis."

"Why are you here?"

Qin Mingchuan moistened his lips and handed over the proposal he had been clutching tightly: "Sis, I revised the collaboration proposal..."

"The Bo Group will not collaborate with the Qin Group!"

Her enunciation was sharp, her gaze devoid of any warmth. When she looked at Qin Mingchuan, it was like staring at a stranger.

Confronted by her cold stare, all the words caught in Qin Mingchuan’s throat. He couldn’t utter a single syllable.

It was Lin Man who stood up and intervened softly: "Yanyan, don’t make such absolute statements. If the Qin Group’s proposal truly suits the Bo Group, wouldn’t you at least consider it?"

Qin Yan arched an eyebrow and shifted her gaze to Lin Man: "How about I give up my position as Marketing Director to Miss Lin instead?"

"That way, be it collaboration with the Qin Group or partnership with the Li Group, I wouldn’t need to approve it."

Lin Man’s delicate gaze flickered slightly: "Yanyan, I was just making a casual remark."

Qin Yan handed the document in her hands to Lin Man: "Miss Lin, you should focus on your own matters first."

"Before leaving the hospital, I already reminded you—while recuperating, Yunshen’s diet must remain light. He should abstain from smoking and drinking!"
