Chapter 22: Punishment and Fear
By the time she opened the door, everyone from the Qin family had already arrived. Knowing that the Old Madam was fine, everyone was relieved.
When she asked for the reason, Qin Yajuan admitted honestly that it was her problem.
“You are a medical student and an outstanding talent in school. Don’t you know that old people can’t take a blow?” Qin Pan said coldly. “If anything happens to Grandma, can you be responsible?”
“I’m sorry, I was wrong.” Qin Yajuan lowered her head and apologized through gritted teeth.
Qin Pan snorted. “What’s the use of knowing your mistakes? You have to remember this lesson.”
“I accept my punishment.” Qin Yajuan’s tears kept flowing. She felt wronged, but she was determined. She looked like she could bear any punishment.
Seeing that her daughter was about to be punished, Second Aunt went up and pleaded, “Xiao Pan, look, Yajuan didn’t do it on purpose. This…”
“Shut up!” Qin Pan raised her eyes and looked over. “I haven’t even said anything about punishment and you’re already pleading for leniency? Has the rest of our Qin family said anything yet? Or do you think Grandma’s hospitalization is a small matter?”
Those who had been on the battlefield had killing intent in their eyes that ordinary people could not resist. At this moment, Qin Pan seemed to have turned back into the God of War.
Qin Yajuan’s father quickly pulled his wife back. They were already very unhappy that there were so many members of the Qin family in the ward. They could not plead for mercy and had to accept it.
“Mother, this is my fault. I should be punished.” Qin Yajuan persuaded her mother and turned to look at Qin Pan. “Cousin, punish me.”
“In that case, I’ll punish you by making you kneel here. You’ll get up whenever Grandma wakes up. Do you accept it?”
“I do!”
With that, Qin Yajuan knelt on the ground with a thud.
The people from the Qin family remained silent. This was equivalent to accepting her punishment. They only glanced at Qin Pan with admiration in their eyes.
This made Qin Yajuan, who was kneeling on the ground, even more unhappy.
She wasn’t the only one who was unhappy. Her parents were the same. From today’s situation, Qin Pan’s importance in the Qin family had increased and she had become smarter.
It would be even more troublesome to deal with her in the future. They had to be more careful.
Qin Pan didn’t care about their thoughts. Their enmity was irreconcilable.
It was already late at night. Qin Pan didn’t want to stay in the hospital anymore and prepared to go home.
After getting off the car, Qin Pan saw that the house next door was still lit. She thought to himself, it’s already so late, why aren’t they sleeping?
In the courtyard of the villa, Xi Ce’s parents were sitting on a stone bench and chatting. Auntie said worriedly, “Xiao Ce is unwilling to take his medicine again these two days. I heard from the servants that he poured away the medicine tonight.”
“Sigh, this child, no matter how hard we try, we can’t find the cause of his illness. He’s probably feeling frustrated as well, so don’t think too much about it. I’ll go talk to him tomorrow,” Father Xi said helplessly.
Qin Pan didn’t want to be discovered so she left.
After packing up, Qin Pan couldn’t fall asleep no matter what. Was Xi Ce’s body still weak? Auntie was so worried, could it be that his illness was acting up?
The more Qin Pan thought about it, the more she couldn’t stand it anymore. In the end, she decided to get up.
She walked to the balcony and looked next door. The lights in the villa had already been switched off. It seemed like he was already asleep.
The balcony of her and Xi Ce’s room were next to each other and not far apart. Seeing that Xi Ce’s balcony window was not closed, Qin Pan decided to go over and take a look.
In her previous life, this distance was not a problem for her.
Qin Pan pushed open the window and climbed in. The person on the bed was already asleep. She tried her best not to make any noise and slowly approached him. Then, she reached out and wanted to take his pulse.
“What are you doing?”
However, Xi Ce, who was originally asleep, suddenly grabbed Qin Pan’s wrist and stopped her from taking his pulse.
“You didn’t sleep?” Qin Pan was stunned for a moment before she regained her composure and smiled. “Didn’t I say I was coming to treat you? Aren’t you happy now?”
Xi Ce glanced at her. The other party’s eyes were filled with seriousness. He lowered his head and saw Qin Pan’s pajamas with her collar slightly lowered. He turned his head unnaturally.
“Treatment in the middle of the night? You sure have guts.” Xi Ce shook off Qin Pan’s hand and pushed her away. “Leave.”
Qin Pan knew that he wasn’t cooperating, but she wasn’t worried. When Xi Ce wasn’t paying attention, she went over and hit Xi Ce’s acupoints, causing him to lose his strength.
“I think you are getting more and more presumptuous.” Xi Ce’s expression was calm as though he was not the one who had lost his strength. “Have you thought about the consequences?”
Taking advantage of the fact that he couldn’t move, Qin Pan moved right in front of him. The two of them intertwined their breaths and teased, “What consequences? Don’t worry, I will take responsibility for you.”
Xi Ce’s expression turned cold and his tone turned cold. This woman really dared to do this.
“What is your motive?”
“I don’t have any motives.” Qin Pan stood up and stopped teasing her. She started to take his pulse seriously. “I just want to treat your illness.”
Qin Pan examined it carefully and finally massaged a few acupuncture points. She looked at Xi Ce seriously, “I’m serious about treating you. I really want to treat you.. Are you so unwilling to believe me?”
