Chapter 354: 340, ran into (1) as soon as I came back _1
Hearing this, a spark of surprise flickered in Old Master An’s eyes, he opened his mouth to respond but didn’t know how to proceed.
“You should rest more.” Jian Qing shifted her gaze and changed the topic.
“We can talk when you’re in better health.”
“Are you leaving?” Old Master An thought she was about to go, his face filled with worry.
Jian Qing shook her head, “I’ll leave a little later.”
Hearing her saying this, Old Master An relaxed.
“How come I haven’t seen your little brother recently?”
Having a rare moment alone with her, Old Master An didn’t want to waste this opportunity. He wanted to understand more about their lives over the years.
“Did something happen?”
Jian Qing poured him a glass of water and handed it to him, “Nothing happened, Luoluo will be back in a few days.”
“Jian girl, could you tell me about how you have been living all these years?” Old Master An asked tentatively.
With these words, silence fell in the ward.
Jian Qing’s gaze fell, she remained silent for a while.
As the smile of embarrassment emerged on Old Master An’s wrinkled face, and just as he was about to change the subject, Jian Qing spoke.
“Luoluo, my grandfather, and I are living together.”
The cool voice, when listened to carefully, carried a tender warmth.
Grandfather?
Did Yun Xi’s family step in after Yun Xi’s death?
A touch of astonishment flickered in Old Master An’s eyes as he suddenly recalled the incident seventeen years ago when Jian Qing and her brother vanished suddenly.
He asked, “Jian girl, were you taken away by your grandfather back then?”
Jian Qing nodded.
“After your mother’s death, I sent people to bring you two back to the old mansion. But Aqiu came back and told me that you two had disappeared.” Old Master An bowed his head, his voice carried a sense of guilt.
“I had people turn Beijing upside down, but we could not find you two. I failed you both.”
If he had managed to protect the three of them, everything would not have turned out like this today, and the siblings would not be unwilling to call him grandfather.
Jian Qing calmly said, “You are not the one who let us down.”
The remaining sentence went unsaid, but Old Master An understood it.
He knew that others in the An Family owed both of them, and it was an undeniable fact.
“Did your grandfather treat you well?” He asked softly.
When the topic shifted to Old Master Jian, Jian Qing’s eyes softened, “Very well.”
Seeing the gentle smile on her lips, there was a hint of bitterness in Old Master An’s heart.
Without prompting, Jian Qing didn’t continue.
After sending An Zhonghui and others away, Uncle Qiu saw that the young and old one were both silent when he returned.
He didn’t say anything and quietly stayed by the side.
…
Beijing International Airport
A few figures emerged from the VIP aisle.
The man walking in front was in a luxurious black suit that accentuated his tall and upright figure.
His features were deeply chiseled, with thick and long eyebrows, and his gaze was icy. He possessed an air of dispassion that kept people at bay.
Time seemed to favor him, leaving no traces on his face, he didn’t look like a man nearing fifty at all.
His movements were calm and steady, emanating an air of nobility.
“Master, I just received news that the Old Master has been hospitalized.” Said Ning Feng.
“Go to the hospital directly.” Mo Xiao’s face turned serious.
Ning Feng and Xing Sen exchanged a glance, a hint of anticipated amusement in their eyes.
Even though their master always liked to contradict the Old Master, he indeed cared about him in his heart during crucial moments.
Outside the airport, Xing Sen had already arranged a car. He took the driver’s seat, Ning Feng opened the door for Mo Xiao to get in, and then got into the car himself.
In the car, Mo Xiao leaned back and rubbed his forehead.
Suddenly, his voice resonated in the car.
“What happened to the Old Master’s hospitalization?”
Ning Feng put down his mobile phone, turned his head, and said, “We still don’t know the specific situation, our people just received the news.”
Mo Xiao frowned and soon closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing this, Ning Feng turned around and continued looking at his mobile phone.
…
After more than an hour at the hospital, Quan Jingwu made a call.
Jian Qing, holding her phone, stepped out onto the balcony to take the call. Seeing her silhouette, Old Master An sighed lightly.
“Old Master, this matter can’t be rushed.” Seeing the old man’s worry, Uncle Qiu reassured him quietly.
Old Master An nodded, for he was well aware that this matter couldn’t be rushed.
After hanging up the phone, Jian Qing walked back in, met with the gleam of hope in Old Master An’s eyes, and said warmly, “You should rest more, I will come to see you tomorrow.”
Hearing that she would be back tomorrow, a joy arose in Old Master An’s heart, “I’ll have someone send you back.”
“There’s no need, Xiaojing is coming to pick me up.” She said.
Old Master An recalled the phone call she took just a while ago, he didn’t insist anymore.
Watching her silhouette disappear outside the door, Old Master An’s face darkened slightly, “What is the situation with An Man?”
Uncle Qiu responded, “Quan Jingwu asked Zeng Hang to handle it in full. I’m afraid the third miss may never be able to come out this time.”
After a moment, Old Master An waved his hand, sighed deeply, and said, “Well, let it be.”
After leaving the ward, Jian Qing stood in front of the elevator, looking down at her phone while replying to a message from Jian Luo.
The elevator dinged, stopped, and opened.
Without looking up, Jian Qing walked in directly.
Inside the elevator, Ning Feng, who was pressing the elevator button, looked up and was surprised to see Jian Qing. His pupils constricted.
This…
Why such a coincidence?
He ran into her as soon as he got back.
Aside, Xing Sen noticed Jian Qing and was taken aback as well.
Both of them reflexively looked at Mo Xiao, only to see him staring at Jian Qing with an icy gaze.
His eyes carried a trace… of strangeness.
Mo Xiao looked at the woman who now stood closer to him, her eyes knocking against his heart.
Although he had already seen her photo, the direct visual impact was far more potent.
Noticing the gaze on her, Jian Qing lifted her head to meet the man’s cold gaze.
She paused slightly, hints of confusion in her eyes.
She felt she had seen this man somewhere before.
“Are you getting out?” She glanced at the open elevator door, asking in a cold voice.
Ning Feng smiled politely, “Sorry, we are indeed getting out.”
At this point, Mo Xiao came back to his senses, cast an unnoticeable glance at Jian Qing, then stepped out of the elevator.
Ning Feng and Xing Sen quickly followed. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Halfway through, Mo Xiao paused, turned around, his gaze fell on the direction of the elevator. Watching her face disappear as the elevator closed, his thin lips pressed tightly together.
Noticing his odd behavior, Ning Feng and Xing Sen exchanged glances, keeping their silence.
Without lingering, Mo Xiao headed towards the ward where Old Master An was.
Just as he was about to enter the ward, he was stopped by a bodyguard at the door.
