Chapter 168 Relax
Seven days, a definite number.
He just like that
Old Master Zhou lowered his eyes and slammed the chess piece down heavily.
Some things, he's grown old about.
Since they didn't tell him, he stopped asking.
“Then from tomorrow onwards, until nightfall is restored, you will all stay at home.”
"after……"
Grandpa Zhou paused for a moment, then continued, "If this happens again, bring her back."
In this home,
He still has the ability to protect the two younger generation.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Lin Yan'an nodded solemnly in thanks, and looking at the old man with gray hair and a serious expression, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.
Grandpa Zhou waved his hand, his white eyebrows trembling slightly, his expression firm and domineering: "What are you thanking me for? My granddaughter-in-law, Zhou Weiguo's granddaughter-in-law, would she be bullied?!"
"It's quiet at home, and no one dares to bother us."
"With me here, I can help you deal with Director Qin."
After saying that, he paused, looking at Lin Yan'an's unconsciously furrowed brows, and couldn't help but soften his tone and admonish, "Don't always look so gloomy. Wanwan may seem carefree, but she's actually quite thoughtful."
"When she sees that you are in a bad mood, she has to comfort you instead."
"Since it's only seven days, relax. Seven days will pass quickly."
"Relax and have a good time with her."
The old man's words were like a wake-up call, striking Lin Yan'an's heart heavily in an instant.
Yes, considering Zhong Wan's optimistic attitude, if he continues to be depressed, wouldn't he be letting her down?
"Grandpa, I understand."
Lin Yan'an took a deep breath, looked at the old man opposite her and nodded solemnly: "I know what to do."
"Okay, I understand."
Grandpa Zhou's expression softened considerably, and he nodded in satisfaction at Lin Yan'an: "Alright, I can see your mind isn't on the chessboard, go back now."
"Go back and spend more time with Wanwan,"
"Remember, the sky won't collapse. Even if it does, this old man will be there to hold it up for you."
Lin Yan'an stood up and bowed deeply to the old man in front of him, saying, "Thank you, Grandpa."
"Go,"
Grandpa Zhou calmly waved his hand, then his gaze fell on Zhao Jun not far away. He raised his hand to indicate, "Old Zhao has come to keep me company. You can go back first."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan'an nodded slightly to Uncle Zhao, who was walking over from not far away, and replied to the old man, "Okay, Grandpa, I'll go upstairs now. Good night."
"Okay, goodnight."
In the room upstairs,
As soon as Lin Yan'an pushed open the door, he saw Zhong Wan sitting in a chair, leisurely looking at the computer with a smile in her eyes.
Hearing his voice, Zhong Wan looked up and asked with a smile, "You're back? Did you finish chatting with Grandpa?"
"Um."
Lin Yan'an walked over and naturally put his hand on her shoulder, intending to pull her into his arms, but unexpectedly, she refused!
Lin Yan'an's eyes widened slightly as he looked at Zhong Wan with confusion.
Zhong Wan pointed towards the computer and said shyly in a low voice, "I'm video chatting with my parents."
Lin Yan'an instantly understood, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes, before turning to look at him.
Only then did I notice that Zhong Wan was using her computer monitor as a phone stand.
A smile instantly appeared on his lips as he calmly greeted the two smiling, kind-looking people opposite him.
"Dad, Mom."
His attitude was extremely natural, without the slightest embarrassment at being caught by his elders: "Have you eaten? Dad is on the day shift today?"
He Qilan and Zhong Yuansheng on the other end of the video exchanged a glance, their eyes full of smiles.
He Qilan replied with a smile, "Yes, it's the day shift. We've all eaten. How's Yan An doing lately?"
Looking at Zhong Wan's rosy complexion and then at Lin Yan'an's slightly dark circles under his eyes, she couldn't help but urge, "Yan'an needs to get more rest, and so does Wanwan. Why don't you tell him to?"
"Mom knows Yan An is tired from work, but no matter how busy she is, nothing is more important than her health."
Zhong Wan shrugged and didn't say anything.
Lin Yan'an squatted down instead, smiling as she looked at her phone and replied, "I know, Mom. Don't worry, things will get better after this busy period."
He Qilan nodded, then looked at him as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing this, Zhong Wan and Lin Yan'an couldn't help but exchange a glance.
Zhong Wan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mom, what's wrong?"
He Qilan hesitated, then looked at Zhong Yuansheng and urged, "Go ahead and say it."
Zhong Yuansheng nodded slightly upon hearing this, raised his hand to stub out his cigarette in the ashtray, looked at the two people opposite him, and finally his gaze fell on Lin Yan'an's face. He said in a deep voice, "Yan'an."
"dad."
Lin Yan'an's eyes showed even more doubt. This was only the second time he had seen his father-in-law with such a serious expression since he had met his parents so many times.
Zhong Yuansheng nodded slightly and continued, "I heard from Zhong Yang that your film crew has run into some problems."
"Your parents don't understand your job and can't help you much."
"But Mom and Dad believe in your abilities. I've seen the card you gave us back then; there's five million in it..."
"Dad, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
Lin Yan'an interrupted him, puzzled, and quickly said, "That card was supposed to be for you to use. You can spend the money in it as you please. You don't need to tell me."
A smile instantly appeared on Zhong Yuansheng's serious face. He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we don't intend to be polite with you either. Let me finish speaking first."
"Okay, sure."
Lin Yan'an nodded quickly: "Dad, please continue."
Zhong Yuansheng then continued, "Your mother and I have saved up some money over the years. Although it's not much, it's all our hard work. All the bits and pieces add up to about 500,000 yuan."
"Five hundred thousand?!"
Zhong Wan was instantly shocked: "No, Dad, where did you get 500,000? When I went to deposit money for you before the New Year, there was less than 100,000 in the account."
"After all these years of working with your dad, we should at least have some money saved up."
He Qilan couldn't help but look at Zhong Wan with disdain, and then complained, "The one in the card is for emergencies. Your dad and I put the rest into fixed deposits, and we just withdrew them these past two days."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan frowned instantly: "It's not due yet? Why take it out?"
He Qilan was speechless: "Mind your own business, shut up, and let your dad continue."
"oh."
Zhong Wan gave a haughty snort and said nothing more.
Seeing this, Lin Yan'an couldn't help but squeeze her little hand, his smile widening.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing Zhong Yuansheng's next sentence, the smile on his face froze instantly and then slowly disappeared.
After they finished speaking, Zhong Yuansheng continued, "I already deposited all the money into your card during the day."
