Chapter 487 Do you even believe what you're saying?
"I'm afraid that won't work," Jiang Ruan said slowly.
“I’m not asking you to lie to her,” Old Master Qin explained, knowing that she and Jiang An had a good relationship. “I just don’t want her to worry about things from a long time ago.”
Jiang Ruan truthfully replied, "It's too late."
Old Master Qin: "?"
Jiang Ruan: "I've already told her."
Old Master Qin looked puzzled: "When did you say that?"
Jiang Ruan replied honestly, "In the car."
Old Master Qin: "..."
Old Master Qin didn't know how to describe his feelings.
He didn't know whether to say that Ruan Yatou and An An were so close that they had no secrets from each other, or that she truly was Li Zhishen's daughter, with both father and daughter confiding in An An...
“You don’t need to feel guilty,” Jiang Ruan was about to say a few words of comfort to him.
Old Master Qin looked at her with a very complicated expression, and said in a preoccupied tone, "Ruan Ruan."
Jiang Ruan: "Hmm?"
"If your mother subtly criticizes me because of this, could you say a few words on my behalf?" Old Master Qin thought about his daughter's personality and imagined a whole drama unfolding before his eyes.
Jiang Ruan was taken aback.
What's the meaning?
Before she could ask, Tang Bai arrived at the door and knocked: "Miss, Patriarch Qin is looking for Elder Qin, saying he has something very important to discuss with him."
"Let him in," Old Master Qin said, his expression much more serious than before.
Not long after.
Qin Muchuan walked in, his gaze sweeping around the room before settling on Old Master Qin.
"What do you want?" Old Master Qin asked with a stern face.
"I mainly wanted to ask when you plan to go back to the old house," Qin Muchuan asked directly, adding, "You've been living here for quite a while now."
Grandpa Qin: "There are no plans for that at the moment."
Qin Muchuan looked troubled: "This..."
Old Master Qin gave them the order to leave: "If there's nothing else, then leave. I'm going to take a nap."
“I understand your desire to live with An’an, but shouldn’t you also consider our family’s reputation?” Qin Muchuan said deliberately. “Those who know you say you love your daughter dearly, but those who don’t probably bring up what happened back then.”
"What did you say?!" Old Master Qin's voice suddenly turned deep.
"Though the words are harsh, but..."
“This is a piece of cake for you as the head of the family,” Jiang Ruan said to Qin Muchuan. “If you’re too lazy to deal with it, you can leave it to your subordinates.”
Qin Muchuan looked at her with slightly cool eyes.
That brat.
Will I become mute if I don't speak?
"You probably don't want Grandpa to go back and regain power, so you'll handle it yourself, right?" Jiang Ruan said in the most indifferent tone, delivering the most damaging words.
As expected.
Qin Muchuan's expression changed upon hearing this.
Old Master Qin immediately understood Jiang Ruan's meaning and cooperated with her: "If you can't handle it, just say so. At worst, I'll give up my leisurely life and go back to take over the position of head of the family."
"You're exaggerating." Qin Muchuan suppressed his anger and composed himself. "I'll go back and deal with it later. The main reason I brought this up is that you've been here for too long, and Mu Chi and I both miss you."
Old Master Qin snorted coldly, his serious face carrying a hint of oppression.
Her eyes, sharp as swords, stared at him, her words even more biting: "Do you even believe that yourself?"
Qin Muchuan looked up.
"Whether you want me to go back or you want me dead, you know perfectly well in your heart." Old Master Qin wasn't stupid; he knew exactly what kind of people were around him.
Qin Muchuan's brows were clouded with gloom, and his aura was icy cold.
He hadn't expected the old man to be so direct.
"If you have nothing else to say, then get out of here." Old Master Qin had absolutely no patience.
Qin Muchuan's heart sank, but he remained respectful on the surface: "Then you should rest well, I won't keep you from taking a nap."
After saying that, he turned and left without lingering.
I originally wanted to ask if a will had been made, but after careful consideration, I decided not to. Knowing the old man's personality, he would definitely get angry if he heard this question, and then he would lose everything he was supposed to have.
Let that idiot Qin Muchi ask that kind of question.
After watching him disappear from sight, Old Master Qin said with a gloomy expression, "Your uncle is incredibly foolish. You really think I don't know what he's thinking, going through all this trouble?"
"Now that you know what he's thinking, you should try to stay calm and not let it bother you," Jiang Ruan reassured him.
Old Master Qin: "..."
He wanted to as well.
But those two sons are just too infuriating.
"Nothing is more important than health." Jiang Ruan didn't want him to get angry over trivial matters; it wouldn't be worth it if he got sick from it.
"You're right," Old Master Qin nodded.
Jiang Ruan didn't linger any longer: "Then you should rest first, I'll call you for dinner later."
Grandpa Qin: "Okay."
Jiang Ruan hummed in agreement.
Just as she was about to leave, Old Master Qin suddenly called out to her: "Little darling."
Jiang Ruan turned her head.
"What do you think..." Old Master Qin hesitated, then after much consideration, he ultimately didn't say anything more. "It's nothing, you can go back to your work."
I originally wanted to ask you what you thought I should do with my will, but considering Jiang Ruan's personality, I ultimately didn't say much.
Like An'an, she didn't care about these things at all.
Time flies.
Jiang An returned an hour later.
Jiang Ruan called to Grandpa Qin to get up for lunch: "Grandpa, lunch is ready."
Grandpa Qin: "I'll sleep a little longer, you guys eat first."
As a result, he didn't eat anything all afternoon.
It was evening.
Jiang Ruan called him as usual, "Grandpa, dinner's ready."
Grandpa Qin: "I don't have much of an appetite, you guys eat."
Jiang Ruan: "?"
Jiang Ruan had never seen him like this before: "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Jiang An saw right through him: "Guilty conscience."
Jiang Ruan: "Hmm?"
“He’s afraid I’ll scold him.” Even though they hadn’t been in contact for over twenty years, Jiang An still knew his personality. “You eat first, I’ll go call him.”
She went to Grandpa Qin's room, looked at the person lying on the bed playing on his phone, and blurted out a blunt sentence: "No appetite for food, but in the mood to play on your phone?"
Old Master Qin: "!!!"
Grandpa Qin immediately turned off his phone and hid it, looking at his daughter with a guilty expression: "I just wanted to check the time."
"Get up and eat." Jiang An said calmly.
"I don't have much of an appetite right now," said Grandpa Qin.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to eat.” Jiang An sat down on the single sofa next to his bed. “Let’s talk about when you were seriously ill and hospitalized many years ago.”
Old Master Qin: "..."
He knew An'an would definitely ask.
"I suddenly feel a little hungry." Old Master Qin threw off the covers and got out of bed, moving three times faster than usual. "What are we having for dinner tonight? Is there anything I like?"
As he spoke, he had already put on his shoes and walked outside, picking up his bowl and chopsticks to start eating.
Jiang An walked over and sat down at a leisurely pace.
Jiang Ruan blinked, extremely curious about the scene.
"This is..." she hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
“Such a gentle girl, she shouldn’t talk while eating or sleeping.” Old Master Qin spoke quickly, afraid that the mother and daughter would say something sensitive. “Look at Sui Sui, she’s so quiet and well-behaved.”
Sui Sui, busy eating: "???"
