Song Xiunian let go of his hand, shook his head and smiled, seeming helpless, yet also as if it was expected.
I knew it would be like this.
An Lan glanced at An Zhenxiong quietly, and her expression seemed to say: See, who is spoiling the kid?
"Mom, how come you have time to come?" An Ci quickly changed the subject, fearing that if she continued talking about this topic, her grandfather would change his mind and let her take extra classes.
"How many days can you stay this time?"
"Your father is here on a business trip, so I'll stop by to see you guys." An Lan said, "Stay for three or four days."
An Ci, "So fast?"
An Lan nodded, held her hand and patted it, "It's the end of the year and there are a lot of things waiting for your father and me to deal with in the company. By the way, your exams are over. Do you want to go back to the capital with us then?"
An Ci thought about it and shook his head, "I'll stay for a few more days. The club has just started to get on track, and I still have some things to do."
Mentioning the club, An Lan suddenly thought of something, "Eric, why didn't I come with you?"
"He returned to Country Y the day before yesterday." An Ci said.
"Is that so?" An Lan nodded thoughtfully. Across from him, An Zhenxiong suddenly spoke up, "I heard the old earl is not in good health."
Song Xiunian took over the conversation, "At most, he can only live for one or two years."
Once the old earl passed away, there would inevitably be another storm. A lot of people were coveting the property under the old earl's name alone.
An Ci frowned, the smile in his eyes faded, "Will my cousin be in danger?"
An Zhenxiong glanced at her and asked, "What do you think?"
An Ci fell silent. Although her uncle was the eldest son of the legitimate line, the old earl had more than one son. In addition, Eric was the eldest grandson of the legitimate line. Once the old earl fell, countless people would be eyeing them covetously behind the scenes.
She wasn't worried about her uncle, she was worried about her aunt and Eric.
"Dad, if that happens..." An Lan looked at An Zhenxiong with an expression as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
An Zhenxiong knew what she wanted to say and turned to look at An Ci, "Xiao Ci, what do you think grandpa should do then?"
An Ci curled his lips and said, "Just protect your aunt and cousin."
With the An family's wealth, even bringing my aunt and Eric back home would allow them to live a life of wealth and glory.
As for her uncle, he is not a simple character, so he has to protect himself.
An Zhenxiong smiled with satisfaction. Song Xiunian looked at his daughter deeply and understood again why the two old men both loved her.
Not to mention studying, just this cleverness alone makes it hard not to like him.
An Lan breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.
As long as her father was willing to help, she wouldn't have to worry about the safety of her sister and Eric. As for her brother-in-law, she didn't care about him.
