Out of familial affection, one side was his own daughter, and he naturally did not want to see his daughter's in-laws perish like this.
However, Xia Feng's identity was too special, different from others.
He wasn't someone who could be persuaded by a few words. Knowing this outcome, Qin Kaihu naturally wouldn't speak up, lest he upset Xia Feng, which would be more loss than gain.
From Qin Kaihu's perspective, he would definitely help if he could.
Qin Minyan, seeing her father's troubled expression, also knew it was difficult to bring up the matter. She suggested, "Xiao Dou and Xiao Wen are always with Young Master Xia. Let them help talk to him."
Qin Kaihu sighed helplessly upon hearing this, "You know too little about Young Master Xia. For a prominent figure like him to agree to you is practically beneath him. I wouldn't even dare to mention it. I can agree to let Qin Dou and Qin Wen probe his feelings first. If Young Master Xia has no objections, then they can raise the matter. If Young Master Xia is repulsed, I will not let them mention it."
With the matter reaching this point, Qin Kaihu could only reluctantly agree to let Qin Dou and Qin Wen sound him out.
As for asking Xia Feng for help, Qin Kaihu remained silent.
"Alright, thank you, Dad."
Cheng Wei also knew this was the only way and quickly thanked him.
"No need to thank me. I don't know if it will succeed. We're all family, how could I not help?" Qin Kaihu waved his hand, refusing Cheng Wei's thanks.
Both emotionally and logically, he needed to help.
Afterward, Qin Kaihu called Qin Dou and explained the situation.
Qin Dou was in a difficult position; he didn't know how to bring it up either. He then found Qin Wen, thinking it would be easier for her to speak.
"Grandpa just called me and asked me to tell you something," Qin Dou lied, turning the task originally assigned to both of them onto Qin Wen alone.
"What is it?" Qin Wen asked.
"Your aunt's in-laws are hospitalized now. They won't last two days. Grandpa wants you to probe Young Master Xia's feelings and see if he's willing to help," Qin Dou explained.
"I'm not going. What does it have to do with me? That Cheng family is so arrogant. They deserve what's happening today. I'm not going. If you want to go, you go."
Qin Wen refused Qin Dou's request.
"Sigh... Why aren't you listening to Grandpa, you little brat?" Qin Dou sighed.
"Stop lying. If Grandpa really asked me, why would he tell you to pass the message? Why not call me directly?" Qin Wen didn't believe Qin Dou's words, thinking that if Qin Kaihu really wanted her to speak, he would call her directly.
Why go through the unnecessary step of making Qin Dou a messenger.
"Heh heh... Grandpa asked both of us to speak. I just thought you had a better relationship with Young Master Xia."
Qin Dou, exposed in front of Qin Wen, chuckled awkwardly.
"Tch... You're just afraid, admit it. You're still trying to fool me." Qin Wen pouted and said.
"So, are you going or not? I won't comment on the Cheng family's character, but they are your aunt's family after all. Moreover, your aunt has already pleaded with Grandpa. Grandpa is in a difficult position, so he asked us to sound him out. If Young Master Xia is unwilling, we won't mention helping."
Qin Dou dared not disregard his grandfather's words. Since Grandpa had instructed him, he still had to do it.
Now it all depended on whether Qin Wen would go.
"Think about it, your aunt hasn't treated you badly, right? She brought you plenty of bags and cosmetics from Hong Kong. Besides, you'd be helping Grandpa. Otherwise, Grandpa wouldn't be happy."
Seeing Qin Wen remain silent, Qin Dou continued to persuade her.
"Stop talking. I'm thinking about how to bring this up with Young Master Xia," Qin Wen said, rolling her eyes at Qin Dou.
"Heh heh, then you think. I won't bother you." Qin Dou said, then gave Qin Wen an encouraging look and quietly retreated.
To make Young Master Xia unaware of the situation while also probing his feelings was a very difficult problem.
Qin Wen thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how to say it.
Finally, Qin Wen mustered her courage and went upstairs to find Xia Feng.
In the study, Xia Feng was meditating. Hearing the sound outside the door, he opened his eyes. At that moment, the study door was knocked upon.
"Come in," Xia Feng said.
"Young Master Xia," Qin Wen walked in lightly and called out.
"There's no need to be so polite between us. Go ahead, what is it?" Xia Feng, seeing Qin Wen's face full of concern, asked directly.
"I don't know how to say it. You've met my aunt, it's about her matter." Qin Wen didn't know how to start, so she mentioned Qin Minyan.
"It's about her in-laws, right?"
Xia Feng thought about the date in his mind. It was around this time.
"Young Master Xia, you know?"
Qin Wen's eyes widened as she asked.
"Mm, I saw it coming long ago. Fate is predetermined. I won't interfere." Xia Feng directly shut Qin Wen up.
If everyone who was about to die required his intervention, wouldn't he be exhausted to death?
Besides, if he had to save everyone, what did their lives have to do with him if they weren't people around him.
He wasn't a saint or a Bodhisattva who could relieve suffering. The lives of ordinary people were all the same to him. Even if he were to treat them, it depended on fate. He had no fate with the Cheng family's in-laws, so he wouldn't go out of his way to help.
"Okay, I understand," Qin Wen replied cautiously.
At the same time, she cursed Qin Dou in her heart. She knew she shouldn't have come, and now she was the one embarrassed.
It was truly exasperating to bother Young Master Xia with such a trivial matter.
"Don't feel burdened. I understand you. If it were your family, I would have no hesitation in helping. As for others, it's all about fate."
Seeing Qin Wen's somewhat hesitant demeanor, Xia Feng proactively comforted her.
"Thank you, Young Master Xia. I understand. I'll take my leave now." Qin Wen nodded gratefully.
"Mm," Xia Feng nodded.
As Qin Wen turned to leave, Xia Feng said, "You can save them yourselves. In fact, you didn't even need to tell me."
"Ah? We can save them?"
Qin Wen turned around in surprise and asked.
"Have you forgotten that you and your brother have two of my pills?" Xia Feng laughed.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wen finally realized. She had indeed forgotten about it.
Xia Feng's medicine was a divine elixir, capable of bringing the dead back to life.
"Thank you for the reminder, Young Master Xia," Qin Wen said, then happily ran out.
Since she had promised Grandpa, Qin Wen had already decided to help. Although the pills she had were precious, she wasn't unwilling to part with them.
If she was unwilling to take out her own pills, how could she expect Xia Feng to save someone's life? Such a person would have some issues.
Xia Feng smiled knowingly as Qin Wen happily left.
Qin Wen's ability to consider the issue of the pills in her hand without hesitation was enough to show that Qin Wen's character was impeccable.
Xia Feng had enough confidence in his judgment of people.
To quote someone else: "I am truly accurate in judging people."
