Upon hearing Grandma’s voice, Ann nestled in the flower bushes immediately responded in a sweet and innocent tone, "Grandma, none of us are asleep!"
Qin Sui’an had initially intended to invite Grandma to hide in the flower bushes with them, but after looking around, there was no place left for her to sit.
Just as she was about to crawl out of the bushes to give up her spot for Grandma, the six brothers simultaneously spoke in unison, "Ann, you don’t need to move!"
The thoughts in Ann’s mind were almost written all over its cherubic face.
How could the six brothers bear to let their youngest and only sister give up her seat?
Qin Qianyi, who was closest to the edge of the flower bushes, swiftly rolled out from within.
Without getting up, he lay there and said, "All right, there’s a spot for Grandma now."
Qin Yaoyu clicked his tongue in disdain and followed suit, rolling out of the bushes while remarking, "With that tiny spot of yours, it’s hardly enough for Grandma to sit."
Qin Niexun glanced at the remaining space and, despite two people having "rolled" out, it still couldn’t be considered spacious.
Without hesitation, he also left the flower bushes.
Lan Jin watched as her grandchildren, one after another, exited the bushes.
She couldn’t hide her amusement and said, "What’s this? Am I fatter than you three? Just to make room for me, you three need to leave?"
Although she said this, she knew in her heart that her grandsons were worried about squeezing her old bones.
Qin Qianyi half of his body entered the flower bushes, but upon hearing Grandma’s words, he quickly retreated and said, "There’s enough space for Grandma! Once Grandma settles in the bushes, we can squeeze a bit more, whether it’s lying down or crouching."
Lan Jin couldn’t hold back her laughter.
Qin Sui’an sat in the flower bushes and patted the spots vacated by her brothers, saying, "Grandma, come in quickly!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Lan Jin hurriedly responded, "All right, I’m coming!"
Once Lan Jin entered the flower bushes, Qin Niexun, Qin Yaoyu, and Qin Qianyi continued to squeeze into the bushes.
Except for Lan Jin and Qin Sui’an, who comfortably sat in the center, the others were feeling a bit uncomfortable due to the tight space.
If someone didn’t know any better, they would think that the flower bushes were hiding some precious treasure.
And indeed, there was a precious treasure in the flower bushes, Ann.
Lan Jin glanced at her grandsons and cheerfully said, "It’s a good thing I came. If your grandfather were here, this little space would definitely be too crowded."
Qin Sui’an tilted her little face and asked, "Grandma, what is Grandpa doing then?"
"He..." Lan Jin thought about the big misunderstanding during the phone call earlier and shook her head with a smile, "He’s probably waiting for a guest."
Qin Qianyi was quite surprised, "Grandpa has a guest?"
It was no wonder he was astonished. Besides hosting banquets, their grandfather rarely contacted his old friends, let alone have guests come to visit him.
Lan Jin glanced at him and said appreciatively, "Smart."
Qin Luozheng looked at Ann and asked, "Could it be that Old Mr. Ji is coming?"
Lan Jin looked at him with affectionate eyes, "You’re clever."
Qin Lvzheng turned to Ann, "Is Old Mr. Ji going to take Ann as his disciple?"
Lan Jin gently rubbed Ann’s little head and smiled, "Perhaps."
Ann didn’t quite understand and shook her little head, "Ann doesn’t want to."
She already had Great-Grandpa teaching her how to play chess! There was no need for anyone else to come and teach her!
Lan Jin blinked in surprise, "Does Ann not like playing chess?"
"Not dislike, Ann likes it."
Playing chess can win prize money, how simple!
"Then, does Ann not like Old Mr. Ji?"
Lan Jin felt her question was unnecessary, after all, her granddaughter had not met Ji Yi yet.
Qin Sui’an shook her little head, "Ann doesn’t know him!"
Not knowing him, she didn’t know if she liked him or not.
Qin Fujia answered on her behalf, "Grandmother, someone is teaching Ann chess, no need to trouble Old Mr. Ji."
"Who? It’s not you guys teaching Ann, is it?"
Lan Jin had seen them play chess, she was an outsider, but she could tell that her granddaughter’s chess skills were even better than her brothers’.
"No." Qin Fujia remained composed, "Grandmother will know in the future, but I can’t tell you now."
"So secretive." Lan Jin muttered but didn’t ask further.
Speaking of guests, Qin Lvzheng turned to his grandmother, "Grandmother, Father has guests coming, what about your guest at the door?"
After they took Ann to participate in the chess competition, Old Madam Shao came to Bay Villa.
Just like yesterday, she wanted to meet Lan Jin and complain about the mistreatment of her granddaughter by the Qin family.
"What guest do I have?"
Lan Jin thought of the countless missed calls in the morning and snorted lightly, "Coming uninvited, with ulterior motives, what kind of guest is that?"
She said she was busy, yet they insisted on blocking the door.
Lan Jin disliked this unreasonable and deceitful behavior the most.
Last time, she gave Old Madam Shao a face and sent her an invitation to a banquet.
But the Shao family, that young lady was only six years old, managed to anger her precious granddaughter and even made her so angry that she sent the bodyguards to drive away the Shao family’s young lady.
Fortunately, her granddaughter had a gentle and kind personality and didn’t take it to heart.
Otherwise, she would never let the Shao family off so easily.
Entrance of Bay Villa.
The Shao family’s car had been parked for over three hours, and the sun had slowly risen from the east to directly overhead.
Old Madam Shao was determined to enter Bay Villa and meet Lan Jin.
She didn’t believe it that as an old madam with one and a half feet in the grave, the Qin family still had the audacity to continue shutting their doors to guests.
Just then, a black Gussie car drove towards the entrance of Bay Villa and was immediately stopped by the bodyguards.
Old Madam Shao, who had been resting in the back seat with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and looked at the commotion.
It didn’t look like a car belonging to the Qin family.
She sneered, ready to witness someone else’s fate, being stopped outside Bay Villa just like her.
But the next second, she saw the Qin family’s bodyguards politely step aside, and the gates of Bay Villa opened, allowing the car to enter.
Old Madam Shao’s anger surged instantly: Oh, the Qin family intentionally ignored her, huh?
She slapped the armrest of her seat and gritted her teeth, "Quickly check out whose car that is."
