Chapter 385 Are you openly siding with Jiang Ruan?

The three elderly people: "!!!"

Jiang Ruan, Mo Mo, and Tang Bai: "?!"

The men's foreheads were covered in shock and question marks.

I was extremely surprised by this news.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Old Master Chi said anxiously. "Chi Yuan has been in love since he was a child. It's impossible for him to like Xie Yi."

"I have a video recording here, would you like to watch it?" Qin Mo asked calmly.

Grandpa Chi and Grandpa Xie exchanged a glance.

The latter, with a deep and somber expression, uttered a single word: "Look."

Qin Mo unlocked his phone and searched for a while before finally finding the video. He pressed play and handed it to the two elderly people, and their conversation came through the microphone.

Chi Yuan: "Come here and give me a kiss."

Chi Yuan: "What are you hiding for?"

Chi Yuan: "Don't be a sore loser."

Xie Yi: "Get lost."

Chi Yuan: "A kiss isn't like taking off your clothes, is it really that big of a deal?"

In the scene, Chi Yuan casually corners Xie Yi, one laughing smugly while the other looks disgusted.

Just as the video was about to reach a crucial moment, Qin Mo abruptly ended it, his icy face remaining expressionless as ever: "If you doubt the authenticity of this video, you can go back and ask Chi Yuan; he will definitely deny it to the death."

Old Master Chi looked very unwell.

Even worse was Old Master Xie.

The way he looked at Old Master Chi was so hateful he wanted to kill him.

"Don't look at me like that." Old Master Chi said weakly, but in his heart he had already torn that brat Chi Yuan to pieces. "Your Xie Yi isn't really innocent."

Old Master Xie snorted coldly and turned to leave.

The courtyard suddenly became quiet.

With a mix of gossip and curiosity, Old Master Qin looked at Qin Mo and asked, "Does Chi Yuan really have feelings for Xie Yi?"

Qin Mo: "..."

"They say people from different circles can't get along," Old Master Qin said, his tone tinged with scrutiny and suspicion. "You wouldn't happen to be one of them..."

He didn't say what he was going to say directly, but those who understand will understand.

Based on what she had just heard, Jiang Ruan made a guess: "The video that was just played was probably a prank or a punishment for losing a game?"

Old Master Qin was still skeptical: "Really?"

Qin Mo: "Hmm,"

Grandpa Qin: "Then you've caused Grandpa Chi and Grandpa Xie to misunderstand."

Qin Mo: "They misunderstood me first, this is called reciprocity."

Old Master Qin: "..."

Old Master Qin opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.

"I'm going over there to take care of some things. You two can chat." Qin Mo didn't stay long, knowing that the old man and Jiang Ruan had something to talk about. "Call me if you need anything."

Grandpa Qin nodded.

Tang Bai and Mo Mo put their things down and then fled.

Soon, only Jiang Ruan and Grandpa Qin remained in the courtyard.

He looked at Jiang Ruan and opened his mouth, but the words he was about to say were changed to something else: "Thank you for helping me out of that situation just now, otherwise those two old guys would definitely have said bad things about me when they got back."

"Of course." Jiang Ruan pulled the blanket up a little higher on the old man's legs.

Old Master Qin's heart softened terribly: "Ruan Ruan."

Jiang Ruan's eyes were bright and clear: "Hmm?"

Old Master Qin hesitated, then said, "You just called me..."

“Grandpa,” Jiang Ruan blurted out.

Perhaps it was Qin Mo's words, or perhaps it was learning that the old man had argued with Qin Muchuan because of her and collapsed from anger, that made her accept him in her heart.

He was not a good father to his mother.

But for her, he was indeed quite good to her after they met.

"Could you call out again?" Old Master Qin's emotions, which he had just suppressed, surged up again, and his cloudy eyes were filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Jiang Ruan fulfilled his little wish: "Grandpa."

Old Master Qin smiled through his tears: "Ah!"

"Take good care of yourself and don't get angry over such trivial matters." Jiang Ruan lowered her guard. "You can hear it as many times as you want afterward."

Old Master Qin paused.

Meeting her concerned gaze, he replied with mixed feelings, "You know everything."

Jiang Ruan: "I know."

"I only found out about your accident a few days ago, otherwise I would have gone to the Li family to demand an explanation immediately." Old Master Qin felt sorry for her. "I was planning to talk to your uncle before coming to find you, but who knew my health would deteriorate so much."

If Qin Mo hadn't deliberately kept it a secret, he wouldn't have taken so long to find out.

Ultimately, it was because he, as the grandfather, hadn't done enough to show care.

"Qin Mo was only thinking about your health." Jiang Ruan didn't seem to have any particular opinion on this. "It wasn't a big deal for me."

Old Master Qin felt guilty.

If he hadn't listened to others' words and prejudices, the shares wouldn't have fallen into Qin Muchuan's hands. If they hadn't fallen into Qin Muchuan's hands, An'an wouldn't have left the Qin family, and Ruan Ruan wouldn't have encountered all of this.

The more I think about it, the more confused I feel about what happened back then.

How can An'an's value be denied just because of what others say?

For the next hour or so, Jiang Ruan chatted with Old Master Qin. Qin Luofeng, who had come to find the old man, saw this scene. Instead of going up to him, he went back to the study to find Qin Mo.

"What's the matter?" Qin Mo was rather cold to everyone.

"Did you bring Jiang Ruan?" Qin Luofeng asked without beating around the bush.

Qin Mo didn't even look up, focusing intently on the task at hand, showing no intention of answering his question.

Knowing his personality, Qin Luofeng decided to be direct and ask directly, "You want to give her the shares?"

Qin Mo stopped what he was doing, his dark eyes as cold as ice that had never melted for millennia: "You came to me for this?"

"Dad is a little unhappy with your recent behavior and suspects that you're siding with your aunt." Qin Luofeng's words were ambiguous. "He'll probably come to see you in a few days. Think about how you're going to talk to him."

Qin Mo pursed his lips and remained silent.

Qin Luofeng probed, "He also asked why Grandpa suddenly saw a doctor and had to have IV fluids for two days."

Qin Mo: "Where is he?"

"He left, saying he was afraid staying would upset Grandpa again." Qin Luofeng's words were very natural, and he even asked, "Haven't you been very busy at the company lately? How did you find the time to personally watch over Grandpa until he finished his IV drip?"

Qin Momo's eyes were a deep black.

Looking at it, there's an invisible pressure.

"What do you want to ask?"

"You know what I want to ask," Qin Luofeng said, speaking in riddles.

"Just do your job and mind your own business," Qin Mo said with a warning. "And don't meddle in anything else."

Qin Luofeng's heart tightened.

Did he know?

"If Jiang Ruan makes any more mistakes, Li Chengxuan's fate will be your fate." Qin Mo knew they had never behaved properly, and these words were a warning. "You've seen what kind of person Huo Zhizhou is."

"What do you mean by that, brother?" Qin Luofeng's expression remained unchanged.

Qin Mo met his gaze: "You know the answer."

Qin Luofeng looked puzzled.

Qin Mo's tone was as cold as a winter night: "If you don't listen to my advice and something happens, I won't get involved, and I certainly won't find you a lawyer."

"Are you openly siding with Jiang Ruan?" Qin Luofeng changed the subject.
