Chapter 667 Will you deduct points from my score?

Chapter 667 Will you deduct points from my score?

That being said.

Old Master Qin was still somewhat worried.

Qin Mo hasn't caught up with Lin Tan after all this time, so there's probably not much hope.

With that kid's persistence.

It's highly unlikely that they'll be able to change their affections in a short period of time.

"Are you still thinking about Qin Mo and Lin Tan?" Jiang Ruan asked.

"Qin Mo failed to catch Lin Tan when she first arrived, and now so much time has passed with no further activity," Old Master Qin said bluntly. "It's hard to resist whether we want to or not."

Jiang Ruan pursed her lips, but ultimately didn't say the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"Have you been in contact with Lin Tan recently?" Old Master Qin asked with a hint of curiosity.

Jiang Ruan: "We haven't been in contact much."

Old Master Qin sighed.

Jiang Ruan: "What's wrong?"

Grandpa Qin: "I'd like you to help me find out if she has anyone she likes right now."

If not, Qin Mo has a higher chance of catching up with the person.

If it exists, the probability is zero.

"I'll ask her out when she's free to help you ask," Jiang Ruan said.

Grandpa Qin: "Is that alright?"

Jiang Ruan: "Mm."

Since Lin Tan came to Haicheng, apart from the day she first arrived, they haven't had a proper chat since.

Since we're both in Haicheng, it would be good to meet up and chat.

After that matter was discussed, the two talked about other things, and Qin Mo's phone call was naturally ignored.

Jiang Ruan chatted for about half an hour before going upstairs.

She bumped into Jiang An as soon as she reached the corner of the stairs. Seeing that Jiang An's face clearly showed that she had something on her mind, Jiang An casually asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Ruan: "Hmm?"

Jiang An: "Your face says it all."

"It's nothing." Jiang Ruan glanced downstairs as she spoke, and only after seeing that no one was on the stairs did she say naturally, "I was just wondering why Qin Mo called Grandpa just now."

Qin Mo is a person who speaks his mind directly.

Regardless of who he is speaking to, he is always concise and to the point, rarely beating around the bush.

But today...

Grandpa said he remained silent and didn't say much.

"Why are you thinking about this?" Jiang An was surprised that he couldn't figure out Jiang Ruan's thoughts.

Jiang Ruan looked up at her, hesitant to speak.

There were some things she didn't know whether she should say or not.

It's clear she's judging others by her own petty standards.

Jiang An: "What's wrong?"

"I was wondering if Qin Mo called Grandpa to ask him to put in a good word for him," Jiang Ruan said aloud.

She knew Qin Mo wasn't that kind of person.

Their usual conduct is unrelated to this kind of person.

But Grandpa said he was silent and stammering, which made him really suspicious.

"Help Qin Muchuan?" Jiang An asked.

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Mm."

Jiang An: "Why do you think that way?"

Jiang Ruan recounted the conversation that had just taken place.

After listening to the whole story, Jiang An thought for a moment and then asked, "Are you worried that the old man will plead on their behalf?"

Jiang Ruan didn't say anything.

She didn't care whether or not she pleaded for him.

What she cared about was that if her grandfather really spoke up for Qin Mo, it would be like stabbing her mother in the back again.

I hurt her before.

Now you're hurting her again.

She didn't want that to happen.

"Don't worry, not only is Qin Mo incapable of doing such a thing, but even if you asked your grandfather to intercede, he wouldn't agree," Jiang An reassured her.

Jiang Ruan raised her eyes.

Jiang An said calmly, "He's different now than before; he won't do such foolish things again."

"That's good." Jiang Ruan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go to sleep." Jiang An rubbed her head, showing the same care and concern he had for her when she was a child.

Jiang Ruan said okay and went to sleep.

Before we knew it, it was the next morning.

Jiang Ruan was having breakfast when Qin Jiangye called.

It's unclear what the two talked about, but Jiang Ruan said she'd be over in a bit and then hung up.

"What's wrong?" Old Master Qin stopped eating his breakfast and looked at her.

"Qin Jiangye wants to talk to me about something, so I have to go out for a bit," Jiang Ruan said, putting down her cutlery. "I should be back around 1 p.m.

Grandpa Qin: "Aren't you coming back for lunch?"

Jiang Ruan: "Probably not."

As they were talking.

Jiang Ruan grabbed her bag and went out.

Old Master Qin watched her leave with a complex expression on his face.

Only after her figure disappeared from sight did Old Master Qin turn his gaze away, still somewhat preoccupied.

"What did Qin Mo say to you last night?" Jiang An asked without any hesitation.

Old Master Qin was taken aback: "What?"

Jiang An asked directly, "Was Ruan Ruan deliberately sent away by Qin Mo?"

Grandpa Qin was puzzled at first, but after understanding the meaning of the two sentences, he paused, coughed lightly, lowered his eyes and ate a few bites of breakfast, pretending that nothing was wrong and said, "What does this have to do with Qin Mo?"

“Those words might fool Ruan Ruan, but they won’t fool me,” Jiang An said. “Qin Mo wouldn’t call you if he hadn’t thought things through, much less remain silent.”

Old Master Qin: "..."

Jiang An: "Tell me, what did you talk about?"

Old Master Qin: "Can I not say?"

Jiang An stared at him.

The two looked at each other.

Although only a few seconds had passed, it felt like an eternity to Old Master Qin.

“Okay.” Jiang An withdrew his gaze, his tone perfectly calm. “Everyone has the right to say no.”

Old Master Qin paused.

His intuition told him that the second half of the sentence was: she also had the right to drive out the traitor.

In a short time.

Old Master Qin was filled with mixed emotions.

"I promised Qin Mo I wouldn't tell." Old Master Qin sighed, then, out of fear of Jiang An, said, "I won't help him, and I'll pretend I never received that call."

Jiang An: "Mm."

Seeing that she didn't quite believe him, Old Master Qin emphasized, "It's true."

Jiang An replied naturally, "I didn't say it was fake."

Old Master Qin: "..."

Old Master Qin was somewhat uneasy.

He didn't know if Jiang An was genuinely indifferent or if he was secretly implementing a point deduction system in his mind, intending to kick him out once he reached the limit and send him back to the Qin family's old house.

In the midst of an ideological struggle.

He was defeated by himself.

"He wanted to bring Qin Muchuan to apologize to you, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to talk if Ruan Ya was there, so he wanted me to send Ruan Ya away beforehand." Old Master Qin told him everything honestly.

Jiang An: "?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang An's eyes.

She looked up at him and naturally asked, "Didn't you promise Qin Mo you wouldn't tell?"

Grandpa Qin: "Promise not to tell Ruan Ya."

Jiang An was puzzled by his behavior, but didn't ask any further questions.

Old Master Qin felt a little uneasy not receiving a reply: "Did you lose points?"

Jiang An: "What?"

Grandpa Qin: "Did you secretly deduct points from my score in your mind when I didn't say it right away?"

Jiang An was even more confused: "Why would we deduct points from your score?"

“Your housekeeper recently shared a video with me. It shows an elderly person staying at their child’s house. During the stay, the elderly person upsets the child and is silently penalized by the child.” Grandpa Qin said this very seriously. “After penalizing them, the child is kicked out.”

Jiang An: "..."

Jiang An remained silent.

How come I never noticed he watched these kinds of videos before?

"I was lying to you just now," Old Master Qin said, "Will you deduct points from my score?"
