Chapter 373: 359, Using An Family as a Scapegoat (2)_1
No one had a peaceful night, thus everyone woke up late in the morning.
In the dining room, everyone was eating breakfast in silence. The servants on the side were trembling in fear, worrying about being affected by the master’s rage.
“Where is Azhe?” An Zhonghui put down the newspaper and asked.
“Master is having his meal in the room.” A servant respectfully answered from the side.
An Zhonghui’s face creased, but he didn’t ask further and quietly continued his breakfast.
Hearing this, Zhou Qi’s expression subtly changed, unusually without any complaints.
She knew deep down, crystal clear like a mirror, that the mother-son bond between her and her eldest son would only become more distant and estranged after what happened yesterday.
With that thought, she sneakily glanced at An Chong, who was sitting diagonally across from her.
Now, her priority was to regain her second son’s heart. If she lost the favor of both her sons, then there would be nothing for her to look forward to for the rest of her days.
On the fourth floor, inside a bedroom.
Mo Xiao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, still dressed in yesterday’s clothes, showing traces of fatigue on his face. He did not rest the entire night.
The moment he closed his eyes, images of his Weiwei and Jian Qing would appear.
He had a child with another woman. If Weiwei found out, she might not forgive him again as he had betrayed her.
And Jian Qing would probably not acknowledge him as a father, since his family members had indirectly resulted in her mother’s death.
This complicated entanglement is an uncrossable chasm for them all.
He lowered his head, spread his palm, and a pocket watch was laying steadily in his hand.
Weiwei, will you forgive me?
…
In the courtyard.
Two cars stopped one after the other, one silver and one black.
“How come I’ve never seen that car before?” Ning Feng unbuckled his seatbelt and looked up at the silver sports car parked in front of them.
This sports car, if his memory serves him right, is a limited edition worldwide. It should be out of reach for An Yun and others.
In the next second, before he could speculate, the answer was apparent.
“Damn it, am I seeing things?”
Seeing the person who came out of the sports car, Ning Feng’s eyes widened, his astonished expression somewhat comical.
She actually came!
Next to him, hearing his words, Xing Sen raised his head and followed his gaze, then an identical expression appeared on his face.
He didn’t wake up either, did he?
“Don’t freeze, get out of the car quickly.”
Ning Feng pushed open the car door, noticed the guy beside him remaining motionless, so he extended his hand and gave the back of his head a pat.
Xing Sen’s expressionless face darkened. If it weren’t for the wrong occasion, he would have to make him understand why the flower blooms so red.
Both of them got out of the car and quickly walked towards the woman standing next to the silver sports car.
Quan Jingwu closed the car door, walked over to her, and held her hand. Their fingers intertwined, they exchanged a glance, and a silent agreement permeated between the two of them.
“Miss Jian Qing!”
A gentle voice came from the side. Jian Qing glanced sideways and recognized that Ning Feng and the other man were from Azhe’s side.
“What is it?” She asked coolly.
Ning Feng gave a slight smile, “Um, nothing, just wanted to greet you.”
It seemed that since Jian Qing disliked their master, she didn’t like them either.
Her cold voice was icy enough to freeze people to death.
Quan Jingwu’s eyes swept over them lightly, his crimson lips pressing into a hard curve.
Ning Feng and the other man suddenly felt an oppressive gaze on them, a chill crawling up their backs, and their bodies tensed up.
When they caught sight of the source of the gaze, Quan Jingwu had already withdrawn his sight.
“Xiaojing, let’s go.” Jian Qing said.
“Hmm.”
As soon as the two left, the intimidating pressure gradually dissipated.
Watching the two walking side by side from behind, a flash of admiration crossed Ning Feng’s eyes.
“As it turns out, the rumors are indeed true. Quan Jingwu is indeed a ruthless character.”
His charismatic presence made people involuntarily want to surrender to him. Perhaps the innate king’s demeanor was referring to him.
“Miss’s eye is discerning, this young master is not bad.” Xing Sen said quietly.
Ning Feng looked at him with surprise, oh dear, even this wooden-headed fellow could say this kind of thing.
Young Master?
Ha ha, isn’t this too early to say?
“Let’s go, we should report this to the master quickly.”
Xing Sen nodded and the two of them walked in together.
In the living room, the An Family members just left the dining room, and before their butts could touch the sofa, they saw Quan Jingwu and Jian Qing walking in from the door.
Both sides faced each other, resulting in a tense atmosphere.
Seeing Quan Jingwu, An Yu and the Yang Lin sisters’ eyes lit up, like a wolf seeing meat, as if they were itching to pounce directly on him.
The next second, upon seeing Jian Qing at his side, the light in the three people’s eyes dimmed. Looking at the hands that the two held together, their chests filled with jealousy and unwillingness.
“Jian Qing, what are you doing here again? Wasn’t it enough to make a fuss in our house yesterday?” As soon as she saw Jian Qing, Zhou Qi’s cold eyes met hers, asking in a very aggressive tone.
As far as she was concerned, only An Yun’s offspring were her grandchildren. As for the child of that fox Yun Xi, she would never admit to it.
Even if they were Azhe’s children, she would not admit to it.
Jian Qing’s face was indifferent. She didn’t bother to argue with her, but a certain young master wasn’t pleased, he wasn’t even willing to shout at his sweetheart, so what right did they have to shout at her.
His eyes sharply shot towards Zhou Qi. His lips lightly opened, “You have no right to comment on my people. If I hear one more word, I won’t mind making an example out of the An Family.”
The deep, magnetic voice carried a bone-chilling coldness that heavily hit everyone’s ears. In that moment, everyone felt as if the cells in their bodies were being frozen inch by inch.
No one doubted that his words were a bluff because he always did what he said.
He was a stern character, which many people in Beijing had learned the hard way.
Unable to hold the pair of deep and unfathomable purple eyes for a second, Zhou Qi averted her gaze, moving closer to An Zhonghui for protection.
Jian Qing looked at them indifferently, a mocking smile on her lips.
“Miss Jian, Master Jing!”
Qiu Bo came downstairs, breaking the stagnant silence.
“The old master is waiting for you upstairs.”
While speaking, he secretly glanced at Quan Jingwu out of the corner of his eye and felt a bit uneasy.
Yesterday, in the rain, the words he had said were still echoing in his ears.
This young master, would he be here today to settle accounts with the An Family?
Jian Qing pulled Quan Jingwu upstairs. She didn’t spare another glance at the An Family members throughout.
Watching the two’s figures disappear into the stairway, An Zhonghui frowned, his face sank and he looked displeased towards Zhou Qi, “Since Jian Qing is Azhe’s child, you’d better stop the drama. If you don’t want Azhe to disown you as his mother, you’d better stop making things difficult for Jian Qing.”
“I…” Zhou Qi looked at him grievously, wanting to say something but stopped.
Why even he was speaking for that damn girl Jian Qing, didn’t they see how Jian Qing was treating her? She had never regarded her as an elder.
