Anjing felt a pain in the back of her hand. Her grandfather held her fingers tightly, making it difficult for her to climb the stairs. She could even hear the faint breathing above her.
This was the first time she realized that her grandfather had really gotten old!
Her eyes were dim, and her brows were furrowed.
Grandpa, how have you been feeling lately?
"He's not dead yet!"
Old An spoke with a mocking tone, pointing downstairs.
"Xiaojing, look at your uncles downstairs. How can I, your grandfather, be at ease? I wouldn't even dare to die!"
Old Master An glanced at An Jing and thought it was a pity that Xiao Jing was a girl. If she were a boy, with careful nurturing for a few years, the An family could still support one generation.
He glanced at Xiaojing's worried expression and couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that she wasn't ruthless enough.
"You don't need to worry about your sister. With her personality, having more money will only cause her more trouble!"
After Anru kept causing trouble, he sent someone to follow her out of concern.
Especially after learning that Anru had encouraged her mother to take her along, and that Qin Suisui's name was on the charity banquet guest list.
He had a suspicion, so he specifically instructed the people keeping an eye on Anru to pay close attention to her every move.
Just as he expected, that idiot actually drugged him in that situation!
None of the family's descendants are any good; not only are they useless, but they've also gone astray.
Thinking of the family business he had built up over a lifetime, which eventually declined, Old Man An was unable to describe the unease in his heart.
Anjing could see that her grandfather was struggling, so she could only nod and say in a low voice.
"Grandpa, I'll call Dad when I get home tonight."
Old An nodded, then changed the subject.
"Xiaojing, how are things between you and Minghui lately? Has he said when he's going back to China?"
"Grandpa, Zhan Minghui and I have always been like this. He has his future, and I have my career. Let's leave it at that for now!"
Quietly shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.
She and Zhan Minghui were not only family friends, but also fell in love freely. They once had a period of deep affection, but this feeling has long since faded with time and distance.
The reason they're still making do is simply to preserve a last shred of dignity; divorce is far too difficult for families like theirs.
It's all about mutual interests; most couples live separate lives after marriage.
The cost of divorce is too high, so no one dares to act rashly.
It includes not only marital property acquired during the marriage, but also the division of property between families.
Fortunately, Zhan Minghui knew how to keep his distance. When he cheated on his wife, he always settled the matter with her and never caused any trouble for her.
Looking at his expressionless granddaughter, Old Master An said softly.
"Xiaojing, you should have a child!"
Anjing smiled and said, "Grandpa, I understand!"
She had thought about having a child before, but now she doesn't want to have a child with Zhan Minghui!
………………
Qin Suisui had some doubts about Anru's possible actions, after all, Anru always did various provocative things whenever she saw her.
This time, no, not even a verbal provocation was possible before Zhang Lan stopped him.
She didn't believe Anru was the type to settle things peacefully; she was sure Anru would have other plans.
Therefore, she did not drink any of the Kaifeng wine throughout the entire banquet, and became wary.
No unusual occurrences were observed until the end of the auction.
The next morning, she received a call from Yueyue and then she roughly guessed what had happened.
"Your friend saw that Anru went home crying?"
"certainly!"
Su Yue on the other end of the phone was extremely excited.
“You’ve met my friend Wenfei. Her maternal grandmother’s house and the An family’s house are in the same villa complex. I got some information out of those old ladies that several of An’s uncles were there last night.”
"Tell me what happened that required all of An's uncles to be there in the middle of the night, but An Ru was crying with swollen eyes and being dragged out by her sister."
"Something must have happened to Anru, she's probably in for a lot of trouble!"
Su Yue couldn't stand An Ru's flamboyant attitude, and summarized her guesses about the An family in a few words.
Qin Suisui's lips curled up slightly. She couldn't understand how An Ru's thought process was different from that of a normal person, and why she wouldn't let go of her.
"When I have time, I'll have someone investigate and find out what exactly happened at the An family yesterday."
Su Yue grinned mischievously: "Okay! I'll have Wen Fei broadcast it live. As soon as I know any gossip about the An family, I'll share it with you!"
"You two are really gossipy!"
Qin Suisui hung up the phone amidst Su Yue's laughter and scolding.
After hanging up the phone, she put the matter out of her mind. He was just a clown; there was no need to take him seriously.
Yesterday, Ms. Yao said that today was the day for the board of directors of the Tonglu Group to vote. She glanced at the time and it was almost 11 a.m.
Remembering that she had promised to buy her senior a gift last night, she grabbed her handbag and walked out of the office.
"Assistant Yue, I'll be out for a bit at noon. Call me if you need anything!"
"Yes, Lawyer Qin."
Yue Hongxin put down her phone and stood up to watch Qin Lu's departing figure.
As soon as Qin Suisui left, Chang Jinhui's office door opened, and he walked to Yue Hongxin's workstation and knocked on the glass.
"Assistant Yue!"
Yue Hongxin, who was typing with her head down, couldn't help but roll her eyes, then looked up at him sweetly.
"Lawyer Chang, is there something you need?"
Chang Jinhui lowered his body and asked quietly, "Lawyer Qin, did he mention the Tonglu Group?"
"No!"
Yue Hongxin shook her head.
Sigh~
Chang Jinhui shook his head and sighed, feeling a little uneasy. Had Qin Lu raised the litigation fees too high, causing Tonglu Group to back down?
