Chapter 1268: Chapter 1240: The Whole World Owes Him an Oscar

Chen Lin, while hypnotized, said he personally saw Qio Yu Xuan hugging together with his mother!

Yu Minglang was also very shocked. He couldn’t associate the conservative mother-in-law with infidelity during marriage. After all, Qian was born in an era with conservative social customs; at that time, even slight misdemeanors between men and women could lead to criminal charges for indecency.

Qian’s emotions were very complex. But to be honest, this result was somewhat better than what she had previously imagined, because she couldn’t bear losing her mother. Now, knowing her mother is still her biological mom, she felt much more secure.

As for Qio Yu Xuan...

How should she face him in the future?

Perhaps having the contrast with her unfaithful father made Qian not entirely dislike Qio Yu Xuan. But she couldn’t forgive him for abandoning her mother back then. She was fretting over how to deal with Qio Yu Xuan in the future when her phone rang.

"Junior Sister! Where are you?" Nong Yao’s voice came urgently from the other end of the phone.

"I’m with my mom. What’s wrong?"

"You need to come back quickly. There’s something serious going on. Master is having a heart attack and is being resuscitated. He insists on seeing you one last time before he dies!"

"What’s wrong with him?" Qian’s heart skipped a beat.

"Master has a very serious heart condition. He’s been surviving on Yao’s medicine for years, and now suddenly it’s not working anymore. Before lapsing into a coma, he asked me to ensure you come to see him for a final time."

"I’m coming right away." Qian glanced at Yu Minglang, who nodded at her.

"We are at the First Hospital in Q City. Come quickly!"

Strange? Why did they come from Lishi to Q City? Qian found it odd, wherever she was, he seemed to be there too?

All doubts had to be resolved by seeing Qio Yu Xuan. Yu Minglang drove, taking Qian quickly towards the hospital.

In the hospital room, Qio Yu Xuan was looking in the mirror, quite pleased with his pale complexion.

"Yao, this medicine from Yao is truly remarkable. I look just like I’m on the verge of death."

"Lie down quickly, she’s about to arrive. If she finds out you deceived her, that girl will cause an uproar! Old man, I don’t quite understand these so-called ’truths’. You could directly brainwash her mother and let her mother tell her. Why bother locking her mother’s memory, running to her father to brainwash and tell her the so-called ’truth’ through his mouth? Isn’t that unnecessary and troublesome?"

"Unnecessary? Ha, you underestimate her." Qio Yu Xuan adjusted his complexion slightly, lay back on the bed, and continued to feign illness.

"She is particularly perceptive. Plus, she has someone like Yu Minglang around to advise her. Intelligence is not to be underestimated when these two are together. If I directly brainwashed her mother to let her mother say these things, do you think she would believe it? Would a woman with her mother’s personality seem like someone who could hide her child’s lineage for years without saying a word? It has to be said through Chen Lin. That way, the time logic and everything will make sense. The girl won’t suspect anything."

"She should unwaveringly believe in the altered lineage we fabricated, right? Honestly, even I’m almost convinced."

Qio Yu Xuan shook his head, "Whether she believes it or not, I don’t know. But now she has no other clue apart from this. Remember, never mention the experiments from back then, soul weight, or wave-particle duality to her ears. Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain, understood?"

Let Qian believe in the ’truth’ that Chen Lin disclosed. As Qio Yu Xuan heard footsteps outside the hallway, he quickly took prepared pills from his pocket and placed them in his mouth. He instantly fell into a coma, his chest moving dramatically as he breathed rapidly, as if he were having a heart attack.

"Doctor! Quickly, look what happened to him!" Nong Yao shouted cooperatively. His voice was just loud enough for Qian and Yu Minglang, who had just entered the room, to hear.

"Let me check!" Yu Minglang, who knew some emergency medical procedures, went over and lifted Qio Yu Xuan’s eyelids. It indeed seemed like a real heart attack.

Qian anxiously waited by the side. She wasn’t worried when Chen Lin was ill, but seeing Qio Yu Xuan lying there made her genuinely distressed. Despite not deciding to forgive Qio Yu Xuan on her way here, seeing him in this state was unbearable.

The doctor came quickly, applied an oxygen mask, performed emergency measures, and Qio Yu Xuan woke up. His pale complexion and lips looked just like he’d returned from death’s threshold.

Yu Minglang was cautious. When examining Qio Yu Xuan, apart from checking for genuine unconsciousness, he scraped his face and lips to see if the color was applied.

Xiaoqiang might have thought of makeup, but overlooked Pharmacist Yao’s unrealized involvement with the drug from Seven Mu Farm. No one could have imagined such a substance was available.

"Qian... I want to see my dear Qian..." Qio Yu Xuan reached out trembling when he woke up. Nong Yao quickly approached.

"She’s here! Despite your condition, you still long for her."

Qian moved forward with mixed emotions, and Qio Yu Xuan held her hand shakily, "Child... you’ve come..."

"Why did you want to see me?" Qian asked, conflicted.

"Yao, give her the items..."

Nong Yao handed over a box. Qian asked.

"What is this?"

"My lifetime savings and research accomplishments all left to you. I don’t know if I will die here, but I’m giving them to you in advance... Yao, you must assist your sister later, understand? If I’m gone, you will listen to her..."

Without Chen Lin’s words earlier, Qian would’ve found this baffling. She was merely Qio Yu Xuan’s disciple; it seemed strange to receive so much as if entrusted before dying.

But with Chen Lin’s story as a backdrop, Qio Yu Xuan’s behavior seemed plausible.

"Why give everything to me?" Despite hearing it once from Chen Lin, Qian still wanted a definite answer from Qio Yu Xuan.

"Because..." Qio Yu Xuan closed his eyes, unexpectedly with tears glistening at the corners. Nong Yao thought to himself, the world owes this old man an Oscar; the performance is genuinely moving, even he nearly believed.

Yet Nong Yao didn’t know that Qio Yu Xuan’s current expression genuinely reflected his inner feelings.

Both Qian and Yu Minglang awaited his response. After a long silence, Qio Yu Xuan finally spoke.

"I’m sorry, Qian, I deceived you... Previously saying I transposed feelings due to longing for a deceased daughter wasn’t entirely true; you... are truly my daughter."

The last four words, my daughter.

As they reached Qian’s ears, they sounded like thunderclaps.

Even with mental preparation, hearing it again was overwhelmingly shocking. Those words echoed in her mind incessantly.

The feeling was quite peculiar, as if Pluto, believed to be part of the solar system for years, suddenly was found to be not so...
