As soon as Qin Chuan finished speaking, not only did Jiang Banxia, who was lying on the bed, get amused, but even Grandma Qiu, who was pretending to be profound, couldn't help but laugh.

"You... you... you're just arguing irrationally! Twisting words and forcing logic!"

Li Qinyi knew she was in the wrong, but still wouldn't let Qin Chuan off: "You were clearly checking me out just now, you pervert!"

"Using so many idioms, you think that makes you right? Ridiculous!"

Qin Chuan didn't want to get tangled up with her: "Move aside, I'm about to use the belly button to perform acupuncture on your boss."

Jiang Banxia couldn't help but laugh again: "All right, all right, Qinyi, stop making things difficult for Mr. Qin. Let him focus on the treatment."

"Cousin..."

In a moment of panic, Li Qinyi inadvertently revealed her relationship with Jiang Banxia.

However, as soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted it.

She glanced anxiously at Jiang Banxia, then looked to Grandma Qiu for help.

But in this situation, even Grandma Qiu was helpless.

Seeing this, Li Qinyi was completely thrown off, and she couldn't stop trembling.

Despite Jiang Banxia's usually approachable demeanor, her decisiveness in dealing with matters was notoriously ruthless.

Even though she's her cousin.

This familial relationship wouldn't save her from the grave mistake she had made.

Others might not know Jiang Banxia's character, but she certainly did.

Revealing her identity was minor; disobeying her orders was major.

Jiang Banxia despised it when subordinates disobeyed her orders.

Li Qinyi had seen firsthand a key company member, for carelessly mentioning Jiang Banxia outside in relation to her, getting both legs broken in a car accident that very night.

It was due to witnessing Jiang Banxia's ruthlessness firsthand.

That's why Li Qinyi was so fearful now.

At this moment, Jiang Banxia, lying on the bed, no longer had any semblance of a smile.

The entire room's atmosphere gradually plummeted to freezing.

Li Qinyi's forehead started sweating profusely.

She was scared.

Truly scared.

"Cousin, calling your cousin is useless, even if you call your uncle it'll be useless, move aside, don't delay me treating your boss."

Qin Chuan timely chimed in, pretending not to know, while nudging Li Qinyi and ridiculing her: "Just a little secretary who got the boss's favor, moved into a big villa, and really thinks she's someone important?"

Hearing this, Li Qinyi was not angered but rather stood there dumbfounded.

"Mr. Qin is right to criticize, this girl Qinyi takes advantage of Miss Jiang's favor and acts recklessly. Sometimes, she doesn't even consider this old woman in her eyes." Grandma Qiu also commented in support.

A crisis was timely defused with the cooperation of Qin Chuan and Grandma Qiu.

However, everything still depended on Jiang Banxia's attitude.

The three of them all simultaneously looked at Jiang Banxia lying on the bed.

After a while, Jiang Banxia finally said softly: "Secretary Li, you indeed overstepped, I don't wish for there to be a next time."

"Okay, understood, President Jiang, thank you, President Jiang."

Li Qinyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, then couldn't help but glance at Qin Chuan, with a complex emotion in her eyes.

She wasn't dumb; she could see that Qin Chuan had deliberately said that to help save her.

In her view, Qin Chuan could have completely not done so.

In fact, he had every reason to kick her when she was down.

After all, she had just deliberately made things difficult for him.

Unexpectedly, he had reached out to help her at the most crucial moment, without holding a grudge.

Recalling her harsh words just moments ago, Li Qinyi felt a bit ashamed in her heart.

"All right, you may leave now, don't disturb Mr. Qin's treatment." Jiang Banxia instructed.

"Okay, understood, President Jiang."

Li Qinyi nodded seriously, not daring to linger any longer.

With her troublemaking presence gone, the subsequent treatment proceeded much more smoothly.

"Mr. Qin, what do you think of this girl Qinyi?"

Just as Qin Chuan was focusing on the acupuncture, Jiang Banxia suddenly spoke, asking the same question Grandma Qiu had.

"Uh..."

This time, Qin Chuan acted smart, directly answering: "Too fierce, not as gentle as my girlfriend."

Jiang Banxia chuckled: "This girl's temper has indeed been spoiled by me, but her looks, especially her figure, are top-notch. What do you think, Mr. Qin?"

"Hm???"

Hearing this, Qin Chuan's needling speed slowed a bit, subconsciously glancing at Grandma Qiu.

He thought to himself, what on earth are this master and servant pair trying to do?

Their words were so straightforward.

Those in the know might think they're matchmaking, those not might think they're pimping.

Moreover, it's like both master and servant are taking turns pimping.

Could this be some kind of beauty trap?

But the question is, what do they want?

Afraid he'd hold back during the treatment?

Or do they have other motives?

Qin Chuan grew a bit more vigilant, so he simply said: "She may be top-notch, but she's just about on par with my girlfriend."

"Oh? From what I know, your little girlfriend at Jiang University has a figure similar to mine. How can you say she's just on par with Qinyi?" Jiang Banxia teased.

"Oh, you're talking about the one from Jiang University? I'm referring to another one."

Qin Chuan, looking relaxed, explained: "I don't recall saying I only have one girlfriend."

"Uh... this..."

Hearing this, Jiang Banxia was momentarily at a loss for words.

She had investigated Qin Chuan and knew there was more than one woman by his side, but she wasn't sure how many.

Yet, she hadn't expected Qin Chuan to admit it so straightforwardly.

Not even bothering to hide it.

As if afraid people wouldn't know he was a scoundrel.

"All right, Miss Jiang, today's session is over, see you in a few days."

After finishing the acupuncture and performing a final Healing Technique, today's session was concluded.

Qin Chuan didn't want to linger in a place where he could be plotted against at any moment, so he quickly left.

Once he left, Jiang Banxia, with Grandma Qiu's help, put on her clothes.

"Grandma Qiu, what do you think of this matter?" Jiang Banxia inquired.

"Is Miss Jiang planning to use Qinyi to tie Qin Chuan to the Jiang Family's ship?" Grandma Qiu guessed.

"Not the Jiang Family, just me."

A sharp glint flashed in Jiang Banxia's eyes: "Qin Chuan will be of great use."

"But, judging from his attitude just now, he doesn't seem to have such intentions." Grandma Qiu expressed concern.

"I've never seen a cat that doesn't want fish, let alone one with a history." Jiang Banxia confidently remarked.

"Then... what about Qinyi?" Grandma Qiu was somewhat concerned.

"Women from big families, which of them can control their own marriage?"

There was a hint of coldness on Jiang Banxia's face: "I don't keep useless people here; if she has no value, there's no need for the Li Family to exist."

Grandma Qiu opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but eventually swallowed her words.

Indeed, women from big families have no freedom.

Jiang Banxia was no exception.

The difference was, she was fighting for her freedom, while Li Qinyi didn't even have a chance to fight.

Unaware she had been considered a sacrificial piece, Li Qinyi quickly chased after Qin Chuan as he left: "Qin Chuan, wait."

Qin Chuan paused, subconsciously turning around.

Li Qinyi dashed over, her chest bouncing heavily in the air.

But the next moment, she stumbled, and her entire body, including that heaviness, fell into Qin Chuan's embrace, crashing into him solidly.
