Chapter 572 You've Gotten Your Turn Today
"It wasn't early; I only found out after I arrived in Haicheng," Jiang An said calmly, as if it were a trivial matter.
Old Master Qin's voice was hoarse: "Then why didn't you tell me?"
Jiang An didn't say anything, but picked up his reports and looked at them again.
For her, there was no difference between speaking and not speaking; speaking wouldn't change anything anyway.
Her silence made Old Master Qin uneasy.
After a while.
He spoke.
"Are you worried that I'll favor them like before?" Old Master Qin asked, looking at her. He didn't know how to describe his feelings; he was both worried and guilty.
He was worried that he would see the same emotions in An'an's eyes when she looked at him.
He felt guilty for the shadow he had cast on her.
"Is it fair or not..." Jiang An only got halfway through his sentence.
Old Master Qin stated his position first: "I won't."
Jiang An paused.
Grandpa Qin emphasized, "I will no longer show favoritism towards them."
“That’s not important.” Jiang An really didn’t care about these things. “Your priority right now is to get better. Don’t let such trivial matters affect your mood.”
“It’s important,” said Grandpa Qin.
Jiang An: "Yes, it's important."
Old Master Qin: "I'm serious."
Jiang An glanced at the IV drip bottle and replied without much emotion, "Yeah, really."
Old Master Qin: "..."
Old Master Qin's initially angry and conflicted emotions suddenly calmed down. Seeing that he had quieted down, Jiang An put the medical reports aside and began to talk to him about serious matters: "Calm down now?"
Old Master Qin hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
"Once I've calmed down, I'll tell you something," Jiang An said calmly.
Old Master Qin was as obedient as could be: "Go on."
"It won't be long before the news of your hospitalization reaches Qin Muchuan and the others," Jiang An said calmly, her tone even colder. "If you want to continue staying with us, don't get angry when Qin Muchuan and the others come."
"But..." Old Master Qin knew she was doing it for his own good.
My health is terrible.
Excessive emotional excitement can easily lead to accidents.
If someone can't catch their breath, they'll die.
“No buts.” Jiang An’s attitude was forceful, yet his tone was flat. “If you can’t do it, go back to the Qin family’s old house and don’t come to our place again.”
Old Master Qin fell silent.
Even though he already knows the truth, if he hears it from Qin Muchuan and the others again, he will most likely still lose his temper.
A slap, a cane.
She'll definitely get angry.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Jiang An, who remained as calm and composed as ever.
If he gets angry, An'an will most likely send him back to the old house.
“There’s nothing that can’t be resolved calmly,” Jiang An said. “Given your image in their eyes, whether you get angry or not, what you say will have the same effect. The only difference is your physical condition.”
Old Master Qin thought for a moment.
It seems...that's how it is.
Whether he gets angry or not, given Qin Muchuan's personality, he will either argue his way out or, unable to keep up the act, loudly refute him.
"Did you hear that?" Jiang An asked.
Grandpa Qin answered honestly, "I heard you."
Jiang An looked at him: "Didn't you ever think that today would come?"
Old Master Qin: "?"
Grandpa Qin looked bewildered: "Huh?"
Jiang An reminded him, "I'll scold you."
Old Master Qin was speechless for a moment. He never thought he would be scolded by An An one day, let alone that he would obediently listen without arguing at all. Not to mention when he was young, he never thought of it before their reunion.
"Are you angry?" Jiang An asked him.
"Don't be angry, be happy." Old Master Qin's voice was low and hoarse, and he was telling the truth.
He thought she would ignore him again.
But she still let him stay there, to comfort him after the incident.
Even now, he's trying to distract himself from things.
"I will give you an explanation for this matter," said Old Master Qin.
"No need." Jiang An had no intention of getting involved in this matter. "It's fine as long as you don't interfere."
Old Master Qin: "Hmm?"
Jiang An probably knew what his daughter was doing: "Ruan Ruan is collecting evidence. If there is enough evidence one day, she will send Qin Muchuan and the others to jail. Don't stop her."
“I won’t stop you even if you don’t say anything.” Old Master Qin’s face was serious, and he started to get angry as he spoke. “For the kind of outrageous things they did, it’s good enough that I didn’t personally send them in.”
Not content with robbing his property, he even murdered his own sister!
What kind of nonsense is going on in Qin Muchuan's head?
Jiang An stared at him.
Old Master Qin was still speaking, his face stern and filled with emotion: "I wanted to know from the beginning..."
"What did I just tell you?" Jiang An calmly reminded him.
Just as Old Master Qin was about to speak, he remembered her instructions and immediately suppressed his emotions: "I'm just so angry."
Jiang An: "If you can't stand being angry, then don't be angry."
Grandpa Qin: "Aren't you angry?"
“There’s nothing to be angry about.” Jiang An has been able to handle most things calmly over the years. “I learned what kind of temper they had more than 20 years ago, so it’s not surprising that they would do something like this.”
"Besides, I have Ruan Ruan."
As she said this, she looked out of the ward.
She didn't get involved in this matter because she wanted to see what evidence Ruan Ruan could find. It was also a kind of training outside of work, allowing her to see things more clearly.
She didn't care about the outcome.
It doesn't matter whether Qin Muchuan pays the price or not.
All she wanted was for Ruanruan to grow up step by step.
“I also have An’an,” Old Master Qin added.
Jiang An remained silent.
Just then.
Jiang Ruan came in with two old men.
As soon as Jiang Ruan entered, she saw her maternal grandfather looking at her mother with a loving expression and a touch of happiness.
She paused for a moment.
I didn't expect this scene.
"Your health is really poor. How are you feeling?" Old Master Chi spoke first.
Grandpa Qin: "It's nothing serious."
Grandpa Chi and Grandpa Xie exchanged a glance. The latter coughed lightly before slowly saying, "The matter I told you about hasn't been confirmed yet, so don't overthink it. Maybe it's just a rumor."
“It’s not a rumor,” said Grandpa Qin.
"I think it's a rumor." Old Master Chi said seriously, afraid of upsetting him again. "Maybe it was someone from the Li family who was envious and jealous, and deliberately spread it."
“He already knows,” Jiang An suddenly said.
Grandpa Xie: "Hmm?"
Grandpa Chi: "Huh?"
Jiang Ruan was also taken aback.
"I've already told him." Jiang An stood up, still being polite to the two elders.
The two old men looked at Jiang Ruan at the same time.
Jiang Ruanren was completely unaware.
That's all?
"That--"
“If he can’t even accept this little bit of news, then all those years he was the head of the family were for nothing.” Jiang An spoke without any mercy.
Ironically, it was precisely these kinds of words that made Old Master Qin feel more at ease.
Grandpa Chi coughed lightly.
If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.
Tsk tsk tsk.
He glanced at Old Master Qin, as if to say: You've finally met your match.
