Chapter 398 Qin Muchi Panicked
"How is your mother's mood today?" Old Master Qin asked tentatively as he walked with his cane, much like a child who had made a mistake and was afraid of being scolded.
"It's alright," Jiang Ruan said truthfully. "Mom's mood has always been quite stable."
Grandpa Qin nodded: "That's true. If it were anything that would affect her mood, she would have taken action long ago."
Jiang Ruan didn't say anything more and walked inside with him.
They ran into Jiang An as soon as they reached the garden in front of the villa. Before Jiang An could speak, Old Master Qin said, "I met Ruan Ruan at the door and asked her to bring me in."
"Whose luggage is that behind us?" Jiang An's gaze fell on the suitcases the bodyguards were carrying.
Grandpa Qin blurted out, "Soft."
Jiang Ruan: "?"
Everyone: ?
Old Master Qin also felt that this excuse was too fake, so he changed it again: "Your housekeeper uncle is going home to spend some time with his daughter later, and he thought he would drop me off on the way."
Jiang An looked at the brand of the suitcase.
Uncle Butler has never liked buying such luxury items.
Old butler: "It's mine."
Jiang An: "..."
Seeing that she didn't speak, Old Master Qin immediately quickened his pace and walked inside, afraid that he would be kicked out if he was too slow.
Seeing that his legs were still a little unsteady, Jiang Ruan quickly called out, "Please slow down, the doctor said your legs need to be taken good care of..."
"I'm fine," Old Master Qin said quickly, not giving her a chance to stop him. "I'm completely healed now."
As they watched him quickly walk into the living room, everyone fell silent.
The old butler glanced at the suitcases in the bodyguards' hands, hesitated, and then said, "Miss, would it be convenient for me to take these things inside?"
Jiang An hummed in agreement.
Putting aside other things.
The housekeeper always treated her very well.
Soon a group of people gathered in the living room. Looking at the old man with hope in his eyes, Jiang Anxin calmly asked him, "What brings you here, Mr. Qin?"
"Mr. Qin, you're too formal. If you don't like calling me Dad, you can call me Uncle." Old Master Qin was nowhere to be seen in his former rigid and serious manner.
Jiang An didn't respond.
Grandpa Qin coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness: "I want to live with you and Ruan Ruan, to make up for the debts I owe you over the past twenty years and the hurt I caused you back then."
Jiang An looked at him, but before he could utter a word of refusal, Old Master Qin continued.
“I’ll cover all expenses for your stay here.” As he spoke, Old Master Qin took a document from the middle-aged man who had come with him. “I also had a disclaimer prepared. If any accidents or incidents happen here, it will have nothing to do with you. Even if your two brothers want to hold you accountable, they won’t be able to do anything about it.”
As they were talking.
He handed her several signed documents.
Jiang An frowned, not expecting his personality to change so drastically.
"What's the point?"
"I don't want anything in return." Old Master Qin was telling the truth. "I just want to spend the last part of my life with the people I care about."
While Jiang An was still thinking, Old Master Qin took the opportunity to say to the people behind him, "Didn't you see my daughter agreed? Why aren't you moving my luggage to the room?"
After saying that, as if remembering something, she asked Jiang An, "Which room do I stay in?"
Jiang An: "Go straight and turn right."
Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Old Master Qin and the old butler.
The largest room on the first floor of this villa was prepared for the elders. The room was big enough and there was no need to climb stairs. In Mr. Qin's mind, it would be good enough if he could just stay in any room. He didn't expect to receive this kind of treatment.
"Thank you, daughter!" After saying that, Grandpa Qin picked up his cane and headed towards the room.
Wait until they leave.
Jiang Ruan spoke with slight surprise: "Mom."
"I know what you want to say." Jiang An didn't want to think about those unhappy things anymore. "Let him stay if he wants, as long as he doesn't bring us any negative impact."
Jiang Ruan knew that she was influenced by her grandfather's words about the last days of life.
Even though they had major conflicts in the past, and even though those knots hadn't been untied, the thread of blood ties still influenced her decisions and judgments. Because she had once loved, cared for, and looked after him, she couldn't be completely cold-hearted.
Grandpa Qin was overjoyed.
When the bodyguards put the things inside for him, his heart finally settled down.
Then came a deeper and stronger sense of guilt and remorse. He had done so many wrong things, yet An'an was still willing to take him in. It was because he, as a father, had failed to fulfill his due responsibilities.
"The young master will bring the rest over around noon," the old butler said.
"If I had listened to your advice back then, I wouldn't have let An'an and Ruan Ruan suffer so much." The more Grandpa Qin thought about it, the more regretful he became, and for the first time ever, he wanted a time machine. "And I wouldn't have become so estranged from them."
"You'd be better off saying these things to Miss." The old butler treated him like a friend.
Grandpa Qin nodded: "You're right."
The old housekeeper was somewhat relieved to see that the relationship between the father and daughter wasn't so cold.
"I wonder what An'an and Ruan Ruan like to eat for breakfast." Grandpa Qin looked around and said seriously, "When you have time, could you help me find out and find a chef specializing in that kind of food so I can learn how to cook for them?"
The old butler: "..."
Bodyguards: "..."
Old Master Qin was displeased: "What kind of look is that?"
"There's no need to cook. What if she gets hurt or something?" The old butler was quite thoughtful. "In the meantime, just tell Miss what you want to say and let her know that you're not the old-fashioned father you used to be."
Old Master Qin fell silent.
An hour later.
After Old Master Qin finished packing his things, the old housekeeper also left.
As for the bodyguards and drivers living near their villa, it would not only protect Old Master Qin but also prevent Jiang Ruan and the others from getting into trouble.
Qin Muchuan and Qin Muchi quickly learned about this. Considering that Qin Muchuan hadn't taken any action for so long and Qin Luofeng's attitude was strange, Qin Muchi drove directly to Qin Muchuan's place.
"What are you doing here?" Qin Muchuan was unhappy that he had come to the company to see him.
"This place doesn't belong to you alone." Qin Muchi had always been at odds with him, and his words were harsh. "You can come, but I can't?"
Qin Muchuan frowned and ignored him.
Come if you want, don't come if you don't want.
Qin Muchi waited for a while but didn't hear his second sentence, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "Did you know that Dad went to stay at Qin An's place?"
Qin Muchuan didn't even raise his head: "I know."
Qin Muchi: "You didn't stop it?"
Qin Muchuan was too lazy to talk to him.
"Aren't you afraid that the old man's relationship with Qin An will revert to what it was before, and that he'll leave her a large inheritance when he passes away?" This was what Qin Muchi cared about most.
