C226 Face It Bravely

"I don't have many scenes this afternoon. The filming will be over before five o'clock. It's only a matter of time before we finish our meal. Don't worry." Qin Lang returned to the table and continued to eat.

Just as Qin Lang took a bite of his food, his phone, which had been set to vibrate, buzzed on the table.

Looking at the name displayed on the screen, he was confused.

The phone call was actually from his sister, Qin Shi. It was late at night in America, and his sister was still ill. Why would she call at this time?

It was very easy to get nervous when receiving a call at this time. They were worried that something had happened to his sister.

The phone rang three or four times before Qin Lang picked it up.

"Qin Lang, you shouldn't be busy at this time, right?" Qin Shi's gentle voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

Only then did Qin Lang feel relieved. "No, Sis. I'm taking a break for lunch right now. What's wrong? If I'm not wrong, it should be early in the morning over there, right? Why are you calling me at this time of the day?"

"I can't sleep. I'm sure I've been bothering you lately." Although she was far away in the United States, Qin Shi seemed to know about Qin Lang's current situation in the country.

When Yu heard Qin Lang call her sister, he knew that it was his mother. He quickly ran over and said, "Dad, I also want to talk to Mom on the phone."

Qin Lang patted Yu's head and said, "Be good, Yu. I need to talk to Mom about something first. Can you talk to Mom later?"

After coaxing the child, he even gave Qiao Lin a look.

Qiao Lin nodded and took Yu's hand, "Yu, why don't you go to the bathroom with Qiao Lin's father? When you come back, you can talk to Mom on the phone."

Looking at Qin Lang's nervous expression, it seemed that the siblings wanted to talk about something serious.

"Alright." Although he really wanted to talk to his mother on the phone, hearing that Qin Lang had something to say to his mother, he obediently left with Qiao Lin.

Qin Lang watched as Qiao Lin pulled Yu away and closed the door for him before asking Qin Shi, "Sister, how did you know about this?"

Since his sister was ill, Qin Lang had not told her anything serious. Jiang Peiru also knew about his sister's condition, so she helped him hide it.

"If I don't ask today, are you going to keep hiding it from me? You can hide it from me for my own good and don't want to affect my mood, but you definitely won't think that way. In fact, he contacted me a month or two ago. At first, he offered me a million yuan and asked me to lend him the child. After dealing with his father, he returned Yu to me, but I refused. Then he kept calling to please me, as if he wanted to make up with me, and I kept refusing him, or ignoring him, and he just let it go. He hasn't contacted me for about half a month, right? But yesterday, he suddenly called me again and said that he would take away Yu's custody rights from us through legal means. " Qin Shi was very calm on the phone. Qin Lang thought that she would be very emotional if she found out about this due to her illness.

Qin Lang was afraid that she would be worried that Yu would be taken away and fall into a pessimistic mood, worsening her condition. A few months ago, Jiang Peiru brought back news from America that her sister's condition had improved greatly. If she was suddenly provoked again, all these years of treatment would be in vain.

What he hadn't expected was the severity of the situation. He was the one who had pushed his sister into depression, and now he was trying to force her into it, despite her condition, for the sake of money. What had happened to the severity of the situation? Money and power made him not care about his sister's feelings at all. Did he really love his sister back then?

Seeing that Yan Ming had already harassed her sister, her sister should have been mentally prepared. Qin Lang roughly told her what happened. "He went to Yu's kindergarten a few months ago. If it wasn't for the teacher in charge of the school, he might have taken Yu away at that time. After that, he took the initiative to look for me again. He wanted to bribe me with money so that he could bring Yu home to meet his father a few times, but I refused. Later on, I found out that Old Master Yan had been thinking about the family property recently. However, his two sons either did not have children or had daughters, so having a son or not became an important condition for him to inherit the Yan family's property. That was why he wanted to take back Yu. He sent me a lawyer's letter today. Looks like he's really going to go to trial with us. "

"What face does he have to sue us?" Qin Shi, who had been calm on the phone, suddenly became agitated." Even if he cared about Yu for a day, I felt that he still had some qualifications to be a father. If it wasn't for the Yan family's property, would he have thought of Yu? Did he think that he had such a son? No, what son? Yu would never have such a scumbag father."

" Sis, don't be so agitated. Don't worry, I will protect Yu well. I won't let him have the chance to take Yu away from us. " Qin Lang comforted his sister, worried that she would get agitated and fall ill." In the next few days, I will take Yu to see you and spend the New Year with you and Mom."

"You don't have to come." Qin Shi suddenly calmed down.

"Huh?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why? But Yu really wants to see you." During the years that Qin Lang had been taking care of Yu, he would bring Yu to America to see his sister every Spring Festival. The Spring Festival was probably the happiest time for this mother and son pair.

This year, because they were late for filming, even Yu was unhappy. If he did not go, wouldn't the child be very sad?

"I mean, you don't have to come. My mother and I are going back to the country in a few days."

"But sister, your..." Qin Lang was a little worried about Qin Shi's condition.

"Don't worry about my illness. It won't be a big problem. As Yu's mother, if he really wants to meet us in court, as his mother, I have to show up. Instead of waiting to be summoned, I might as well come back early and prepare, and..." Qin Shi suddenly paused. "And my doctor will come back with me. You don't have to worry about him."

His sister's attending physician? Qin Lang had heard from Jiang Peiru that the man seemed to like his sister, and that his sister's condition had improved rapidly after he took over.

Judging from his sister's tone, could it be that the two of them had made some progress? If this person accompanied his sister, he would feel a lot more at ease.

"Alright then." Qin Lang did not object to his sister's return to the country. After all, if she came back, she would be able to stay by Yu's side all the time. That child would be happy, right? "Sister, when did you book the flight? Yu and I will pick you up."

" No need. When we get there, we'll just take a taxi home. It's jet-lagged. By the time we get there, it will probably be midnight. Don't worry about such a small matter when you're busy with work. "

"No matter what, you should let me know when you leave." His sister had not returned for a few years, but Qin Lang insisted on going to see her.

Qin Shi could not argue with him and could only agree, "Oh, by the way, I always see pictures of a man in your circle of friends. You, Peiru, told me on the phone that you seem to be in love recently."
