After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 853

Chapter 853: Bad Guy!
Upon hearing the voice, Zhouzhou turned her head to take a look. When she saw who it was, her eyes lit up. “Brother!”

It was the cool brother who flew planes!

Zhouzhou hurried over, her short legs running excitedly. “Brother, what are you doing here?”

“I was going to ask the same question,” Lan Tian said, pinching her chubby cheek, curiosity shining in his eyes. “My dad is in the hospital, so I’m here. What about you? Is your dad sick too?”

Normally, ordinary people wouldn’t be allowed in a place like this, but Ye Lingfeng was an exception. If he were injured, all hospitals would be open to him.

“Yuck, yuck, yuck!” Zhouzhou quickly spat a few times and stomped her chubby little feet to stomp out any bad luck. “My dad is fine! He didn’t get hurt!”

Hearing this, Lan Tian raised an eyebrow.

Lan He, observing the two, looked puzzled. “Do you know each other?”

That shouldn’t be the case. Since Lan Tian was chosen, he had been in secret training, coming home only once a year for a few days, and always staying at home. How could he have met this little girl?

The two didn’t seem like they would ever cross paths.

Lan Tian rubbed his chin. “We met a few days ago.”

A few days ago?

Lan He looked bewildered. During the New Year celebration, he had been at home, then received a call and suddenly left, not returning afterward.

Had they met then? How was that possible?

Lan Tian didn’t want to keep anything from him but couldn’t disclose mission details, so he just brushed it off.

Zhouzhou quickly covered her mouth in understanding.

Seeing this, Qin Lie realized what was happening. It definitely had something to do with the mission.

The Qin family didn’t pry further.

Zhouzhou’s big, round eyes darted between them, and suddenly she exclaimed, “So, you two are brothers? Is your father ill?”

“Yeah,” Lan Tian nodded, glancing at the Qin family, then lowering his gaze to Zhouzhou. He hesitated, “So, you’re the girl adopted by the Qin family?”

Zhouzhou grinned widely, nodding vigorously. “That’s right! Brother, let me introduce you. This is also my dad!”

She grabbed Qin Lie’s hand, excitedly declaring, “I have two dads!”

Lan Tian’s expression shifted slightly, looking at Qin Lie with a hint of confusion.

Could Ye Lingfeng really tolerate his daughter calling someone else dad? Unless…

Seemed to see through what was on his mind, Qin Lie frowned in displeasure and cast him a glance.

Lan Tian was jolted out of his thoughts, shaking his head to dispel the chaotic ideas.

Noticing something was off, Lan He quickly changed the subject, smiling. “I didn’t expect Tian to have met Zhouzhou before. What a coincidence!”

Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin also shared the same sentiment.

Even they hadn’t seen Lan Tian in years, but it turned out Zhouzhou had met him first.

Upon learning that Lan Tian’s dad was ill, Zhouzhou grew anxious and pulled at his hand. “Brother, let’s hurry and check on your dad! My medical skills are great!”

Lan Tian was taken aback by her words and laughed. “Oh really? Your medical skills are impressive?”

“Of course!” Zhouzhou puffed out her chest proudly.

Unable to resist, Lan Tian reached out and tickled her chin. Zhouzhou giggled and quickly dodged.

Lan He was somewhat taken aback. He knew his younger brother’s temperament all too well.

A genius since childhood, though he had a baby face, he was far from easy to get along with.

His nature was wild, and throughout the years, few people had earned his regard. Even when they spoke, he often refused to listen.

This was the first time he had seen him connect so easily with a child.

Yet, the little girl was undeniably charming—adorable, even.

What he didn’t know was that Lan Tian liked Zhouzhou not only because she was cute, but also because during a past mission, this young girl had shot and killed the mercenary leader with a single, perfect shot. To be honest, it left him in awe.

Afterward, he had even gone out of his way to look into her background.

The more he read, the more amazed he became. He prided himself on being a genius, but at her age, he had never been considered valuable enough to attract the nation’s attention—let alone have both the Fourth Bureau and the military scrambling to recruit him.

Truly, the younger generation surpassed the older!

Such a prodigy, how could he not like her?

The Qin family and Lan He were unaware of the full story, but Lan He’s second aunt, walking at the back, sneered in disdain.

“Just a little girl,” she muttered. “And they’re praising her like this?”

She saw it clearly—it was only because the girl came from the Qin family that they were showering her with such compliments.

Tch, Lan Tian had been aloof and indifferent to her since the first day he saw her, but now he was all too eager to please in front of the Qin family.

Did they really think they were all that impressive? They only bullied the weak!

Auntie Lan simmered with resentment, her head down but her eyes full of venom.

Grandpa Qin caught a glimpse of her odd behavior and furrowed his brow slightly.

Meanwhile, the medical agent followed closely behind, listening to their conversation but not daring to interject.

When they reached the hospital room and saw Old Mr. Lan lying there, he hurriedly took out the report and approached Lan He, bending slightly. “Mr. Lan, this is the inspection report for the medicine the old gentleman took. There’s really no issue with it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Auntie Lan stepped forward, snatched the report from his hands, and ripped it to shreds, throwing the pieces on the floor. “Do you think we’re fools? This is just a bunch of scribbled words! Who would believe it?”

Seeing the report on the floor, the medical agent felt his heart race. He had pulled strings and spent money to get that report!

Feeling distressed but too intimidated to speak up, he could only force a smile, though it looked painfully bitter.

Lan He frowned, his voice low and serious. “Auntie, please watch your words.”

Being called out in front of so many people left Auntie Lan feeling embarrassed, and she lowered her head, her eyes brimming with resentment.

They had already sucked up to the Qin family, but now they were being disrespected for an outsider.

Just wait! Once she got her hands on their inheritance, who would dare speak to her that way?

The more she thought about it, the more her expression turned vicious, her eyes narrowing with hatred.

She kept her head down, not wanting to be discovered, but forgot about Zhouzhou, who stood at a height advantage.

The little girl raised her chin, catching a clear view of Auntie Lan’s expression. With a loud gasp, she pointed at her and exclaimed, “Bad guy changes her face really fast!”
