Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Good, his interest was piqued again, an old case spanning several decades clearly had some hidden issues.

He wondered what it would look like once the case was reopened?

Huo Jinyun, you just wait, it’s bound to be interesting.

Qin Shaojin stood up, flexed his wrists, gave a wicked smile, picked up his suit jacket, and left the law firm, calling Che Huan back, ”The matter you consulted me about during the day is no problem, it can be done. But have you decided what name you want to change to? We can’t delay, decide early to avoid any changes.”

Che Huan was woken up by the ringing phone in the middle of the night, her voice still a bit dazed, ”Let’s call it Wen Huan.”

Wen Huan? That sounds terrible!

Qin Shaojin straightened his collar, ”It’s really distasteful. Since Fang Tong is now my third uncle’s goddaughter, why not let my second brother recognize you as his god-sister? Changing it to Qin Huan sounds so much better. In front of Fang Tong, you won’t be inferior. How about that?”

Che Huan became more alert and hesitated for a moment—it was, after all, a change of surname. She called to ask Wen Ru and Wen Hua, and strangely, both her aunt and her mother had no objections.

And so, Che Huan’s name was changed to Qin Huan.

On the third day, Qin Shaojin brought the new ID card and household registration directly to the hospital.

Huo Jinnan took it, saw the words Qin Huan, his brows slightly knitted, he looked up at Qin Shaojin.

Qin Shaojin pressed his nose bridge, ”Brother Huo, don’t you think Qin Huan sounds much better than Wen Huan? Now, your sister-in-law and Fang Tong are both goddaughters of the Qin family. My second brother’s backing is far more solid than my third uncle’s, isn’t it?”

Huo Jinnan said nothing further, looking at Che Huan, ”You asked Aunt Wen for her opinion?”

Che Huan nodded.

Huo Jinnan remained silent, his eyes darkening a shade.

Qin Shaojin thought back to when Che Huan had consulted him about the legal effect of agreements signed with a former name but didn’t bring it up with Huo Jinnan, curious to see what Uncle Si was up to.

He glanced at Che Huan, eager to know what she was doing behind Brother Huo’s back.

Noticing Qin Shaojin’s gaze, Che Huan acted as if she didn’t know. That day, she had merely given an example, so even if he told Huo Jinnan, she could always say it was just a question.

Right then, her phone rang.

She picked it up to see that it was the landline number she had called that day.

That day, hadn’t she used the phone and card her mother gave her? She didn’t expect the other party to find her number so quickly.

Fearing that evading Huo Jinnan would lead to overthinking, Che Huan stood there and answered the phone bravely, ”Hello.”

A familiar sweet female voice came through quickly, ”Miss Che, the president asks that you see Qin Mochuan and Fang Tong again and bring those two agreements. Mail them over, and I will text you the address shortly.”

Che Huan hummed an acknowledgment, said, ”No need,” and hung up. She looked towards Qin Shaojin and Huo Jinnan, ”Telemarketing can be so annoying.”

Qin Shaojin smiled at Che Huan.

Che Huan looked at Qin Shaojin, ”Thank you, Lawyer Qin.”

”No need to thank me, Brother Huo will pay,” Qin Shaojin said innocuously, with a harmless smile, and glanced towards the direction of the hospital room, ”How is Aunt Zhong doing?”

Huo Jinnan simply responded with ”as usual,” feeling a sense of unease. His mother had a rare blood type, and finding a suitable heart was not easy, but the situation was becoming increasingly bleak.

...

That afternoon, Che Huan looked at Huo Jinnan, ”Wen Nuan asked me to go shopping with her tomorrow for clothes. I’ll head over tonight, stay the night, and come back tomorrow.”

Huo Jinnan looked at Che Huan, ”I’ll have Uncle Lu send you.”
