57: Chapter 57: The Recurring Old Taoist 57: Chapter 57: The Recurring Old Taoist “After opening the pouch, I found out that the solution was to find a marriage for Yu Wei, and this man was simply an ignorant good-for-nothing, a man no girl would ever marry.

Yu Wei would definitely not agree to this marriage, and she would use this as a reason to leave on her own.”

“That ignorant good-for-nothing is me?” Qin Han asked, somewhat surprised, and became interested in the pouch left by the old Taoist.

“Of course, I would never agree to this method, as Yu Wei is my daughter and should stay with the Song family.

However, Lu Huixi took it very seriously; she must have been the one who found Tang Wei, leading Weiwei to leave me and then finding Yu Wei and tormenting her.”

“On Yu Wei’s twenty-first birthday, I was on a business trip abroad.

I never expected Lu Huixi to take advantage of my absence and forcefully make Yu Wei agree to the marriage.

Yu Wei was foolish; she agreed to the marriage to repay the Song family for raising her.”

“She is too much like her mother, always considering others first.”

“When I returned, it was already a done deal, and seeing that it couldn’t be changed, I had no choice but to agree to your marriage, but I didn’t like you one bit.”

Qin Han smiled, indicating understanding; the previous one was indeed hard for any normal person to like.

“That night, I stayed in the study for a long time, fiddling with the pouch that had ruined Yu Wei’s happiness for life.

I then discovered that the pouch had an inner layer that you couldn’t see unless you looked closely.”

“Inside the layer was a slip of paper that read, if Yu Wei did not agree to the marriage, then it should be dropped, and leaving the Song family would not affect Yu Wei’s life much, because the old Taoist had only borrowed a little bit of Yu Wei’s fortune.”

“But if Yu Wei agreed to the marriage, three years later, her life would undergo a drastic transformation, which could also be considered a gift to Yu Wei.

Hence, the choice was entirely up to Yu Wei.”

“At first, I didn’t believe it, especially with how you were at the time, not to mention your gambling and drinking, you often hit Yu Wei too, until that day at the family banquet, what you said made me think it might be true.”

“Plus, Yu Wei signing the contract with Wanhua Company, I knew you were helping her from behind.”

“And your recent attitude towards Yu Wei, especially how you used to hit Yu Wei, but now you fight others for her sake.

It’s still violence, but the purpose is different.”

“I feel it’s time to tell you this, but you must promise me not to tell Yu Wei I am her biological father.”

Qin Han was somewhat shocked to hear Song Yuanqiao’s words.

Could it really be so mystical, predicting things decades into the future?

He believed in geomancy, since medicine and geomancy were kin, but predicting the future was quite unbelievable.

Suddenly, Qin Han stood up and stared intently at Song Yuanqiao.

“Do you still remember what that old Taoist looked like?”

Initially startled by Qin Han’s actions, Song Yuanqiao thought carefully before answering, “He was about seventy years old, wearing a dirty black Taoist robe, with six fingers on his left hand.”

Qin Han felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his mind thundering.

The old Taoist!

“Three years later, you will face a calamity; if you pass through it safely, it will be the beginning of your life.”

Once, when Qin Han was offering free medical care in Nanhai City, an old Taoist sitting at the registration desk said this to him, and that old Taoist’s appearance was exactly as Song Yuanqiao had described.

Qin Han had thought at the time that it meant he could destroy Eternal Life Hall after three years, never expecting himself to be reborn.

Also, why hasn’t the old Taoist’s age and attire changed at all after twenty years?

“Qin Han, Qin Han!” Seeing Qin Han standing there dazed, Song Yuanqiao couldn’t help but shout.

Upon hearing Song Yuanqiao’s voice, Qin Han came back to his senses.

“Have you seen this old Taoist?”

“No!”

“Then what about this…”

“I just find it somewhat inconceivable,” Qin Han resumed speaking with his usual indifferent expression.

“Yes, I also find it inconceivable, but no matter what, I want to ask you a favor,” Song Yuanqiao suddenly said earnestly to Qin Han.

“What is it?” Qin Han asked, puzzled.

“You must treat Yu Wei well.

She has suffered too much these past years.

This is me begging you!”

Qin Han looked at the man he called his father-in-law, who was now pleading with his son-in-law for his daughter, feeling somewhat bitter.

He nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Yu Wei is my wife, I will definitely treat her well.

I was immature before, but the old Qin Han has died, and the new Qin Han will treat her like family.”

Song Yuanqiao, thinking that Qin Han’s statement about “the old Qin Han has died” meant Qin Han was saying goodbye to his past and starting anew, nodded happily and exclaimed, “Very good, very good!”

Song Yuwei, holding some fruits, pushed open the hospital room door and walked in.

She saw that Song Yuanqiao and Qin Han were chatting quite happily, which was a surprise.

Didn’t her foster father always dislike Qin Han?

And Qin Han also didn’t have a good impression of the Song family.

How were these two chatting so amiably today?

“Yu Wei is back, come, put that down and rest for a while!” Song Yuanqiao called out to Song Yuwei as soon as he saw her, urging her to sit down.

The three of them talked for a while longer.

Qin Han stood up, ready to leave, while Song Yuwei planned to stay a bit longer with Song Yuanqiao.

“Qin Han, in a few days there will be a business meeting in Zhongzhou City attended by the heads and executives of major corporations.

Why don’t you accompany Yu Wei there?”

Just as Qin Han reached the hospital room door, Song Yuanqiao called out to stop him.

Thinking it over, since the clinic was opening in the next couple of days and there wasn’t much else happening, he nodded and replied, “Alright!”

However, when Qin Han returned to the clinic, he was shocked by the scene inside.

There were more than a dozen people of various heights and builds sitting crowded together, with Zhang Henian attending to them.

Could it be that these people were not here for treatment?

Otherwise, there would be no reason for Zhang to not see them.

As soon as he entered the clinic, he heard a voice, “Brother Qin is back, haha!”

Qin Han turned around and saw Xu Shimo standing behind the door, holding a phone.

It seemed he was just on a call, which was why Qin Han hadn’t seen him earlier.

“Brother Xu,” Qin Han greeted.

“Brother Qin, these are some friends I mentioned before; they all have various chronic problems.

I brought them here for you to take a look,” Xu Shimo said with a smile.

“Brother, did the treatment take effect?” Qin Han asked Xu Shimo with a smile.

Anxiously, Xu Shimo leaned close to Qin Han’s ear and said, “Brother Qin, the prescription you gave me really works.

I’ve been feeling much better lately, no night sweats anymore, and honestly, I wake up feeling energetic every morning.”

Seeing Xu Shimo acting all secretive, Qin Han guessed what his “feeling energetic” implied.

“Brother Qin, could I really have a child in a month?” Xu Shimo asked cautiously.

“Rest assured!

You definitely will!”
