Chapter 795 Old Master Qin's Acting

“But then again, they are still your parents,” Grandpa Qin continued, his clear eyes fixed on him alone. “Arguments are arguments, but home is still home.”

Qin Mo: "I know."

Grandpa Qin: "Are you going back for the New Year?"

Qin Mo didn't hide anything and told them his true thoughts: "It depends on their attitude. If they don't contact me, I won't go back."

Old Master Qin looked at him.

Qin Mo continued, "Otherwise, all you'll get when you go back is, 'Didn't you say you weren't coming back? What are you doing back?'"

Old Master Qin thought about it.

That's something Yu Peiyun and Qin Muchuan would say.

Ever since Qin Mo was sent to live with him, the two of them rarely came to see him. At first, they were busy fighting wits with An An, and later they got pregnant and had Luo Feng.

Except before he was two or three years old, Qin Mo did not receive any care or attention from the couple.

"Don't answer their calls anymore," Qin Mo said. "Treat them like adults and don't worry about everything."

“Okay.” Old Master Qin agreed to each one.

Qin Mo hummed in agreement: "If there's nothing else, I'll go take care of things first. I still have things to do at the company."

Grandpa Qin: "It's not Saturday today, so Ruan'er is at home."

Qin Mo: "Not the Qin Group."

A knowing glint flashed in Old Master Qin's eyes: "Go ahead, come visit this old man when you have time."

Qin Mo knew that his grandfather wanted to tell him that this was also his home.

Wherever he is, he will always have a place.

"Okay." Qin Mo stood up.

I was just about to leave.

Old Master Qin, still thinking about something, asked, "By the way..."

Qin Mo lowered his eyes.

Old Master Qin asked directly, "How are things between you and Lin Tan? I heard your mother went to see her."

Qin Mo: "Mm."

Old Master Qin: "She objects?"

Qin Mo: "I guess so."

Grandpa Qin was quite concerned about him: "Should I talk to her?"

"It's up to you." Qin Mo wouldn't force anyone to do anything in this matter, "but I don't think the negotiations will be very effective even if you take the lead."

Grandpa Qin: "Does this mean you're admitting you like her?"

Qin Mo: "..."

Why are there pitfalls everywhere?

"It's good to have someone you like. You'll have something to look forward to and something to be happy about. It'll allow this block of ice to experience different emotions and temperatures." Old Master Qin sincerely hoped that Qin Mo would be well.

Qin Mo did not speak.

Old Master Qin caught a glimpse of Jiang Ruan approaching and said to Qin Mo, "Go ahead."

Qin Mo hummed in agreement.

He turned around and his eyes met Jiang Ruan's.

Upon seeing her, Qin Mo's eyes remained as cold and distant as ever, and he gave her a slight nod as a greeting.

Jiang Ruan greeted them in the same way.

Not long after.

The two brushed past each other, and Qin Mo left the manor to go to his other businesses.

"Why are you two siblings acting like strangers?" Old Master Qin spoke up to break the silence, "After all, we've worked together for so long."

Jiang Ruan didn't say anything, she just stood there watching him.

She was dressed in casual clothes, and her smooth hair was pinned back with a hairpin. Although she didn't look angry, Old Master Qin felt that she had a rather strong presence.

"What's wrong?" Old Master Qin asked tentatively, pretending not to know anything.

"The person you invited, Huo Zhizhou?" Jiang Ruan asked.

"Ahem." A hint of guilt flashed in Old Master Qin's eyes, and he looked away, not daring to look at her. "It seems that's true. I saw something I liked and asked him to take a picture of it and send it over."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Jiang Ruan's eyes: "This is the third time you've had him come this month."

The first time was when I wanted to eat pastries from the new district.

The second time was when he wanted someone to play chess with him.

This time, it's about having something you like delivered to you.

If that's the case, it's fine; she won't interfere with the two chatting, drinking tea, or eating.

But every time he called someone over, he would ask her to keep an eye on things for a while, saying that something had come up and he would have to take a break. But this break would last until Huo Zhizhou left.

Even if she was slow to realize it, her grandfather was doing it on purpose, deliberately bringing Huo Zhizhou closer to her.

"Have I caused you any trouble?" Old Master Qin's eyes suddenly became somewhat complicated, and his face was filled with guilt.

Jiang Ruan stopped herself from saying what she was about to say.

"I'm just bored and want someone to keep me company." Old Master Qin sighed, his eyes filled with loneliness. "An'an went abroad on business and didn't have time to take care of me. That brat Li Zhishen went with her and forgot about me. Now I'm just an old man with no one to keep me company."

“I’ll have someone bring the butler over,” Jiang Ruan said.

“He’s been spending a lot of time at home playing with his grandson lately,” Grandpa Qin said earnestly. “He rarely has time.”

Jiang remained silent.

I thought about it for a moment.

These are indeed facts.

After seeing that she could handle everything independently, her mother picked up her own career again, and this trip abroad was for work. As for Uncle Li, he did indeed follow her mother around.

Wherever Mom is, he is.

They can't be driven away no matter what.

“If you don’t like it, Grandpa won’t call him that anymore,” Grandpa Qin said. “Loneliness and boredom are nothing, Grandpa can handle it.”

Jiang Ruan: "..."

I never realized Grandpa was such a good actor before.

“I’ll go and talk to Huo Zhizhou right now and tell him not to come anymore.” Old Master Qin stood up. “If I really can’t stand the boredom, I’ll go to his place. It’s not a big deal to take a few tens of minutes’ bus ride every day.”

Jiang Ruan cooperated with his performance: "Okay."

Grandpa Qin pretended to wipe away a tear: "Ruan Ruan has changed. She's become heartless and doesn't love Grandpa anymore."

“This performance wasn’t realistic enough.” As she spoke, Jiang Ruan took out her phone. “Could you perform it again? I’ll send it to my mom to see.”

Old Master Qin: "!"

Old Master Qin immediately perked up.

Ruan Ruan will spoil him.

An'an will scold him if she finds out about this.

"I was wrong." After spending some time with them, Grandpa Qin had long since lost his former airs and rigidity. "Grandpa apologizes to you, I really apologize."

“I understand that you want Huo Zhizhou to come over.” Seeing that he was serious, Jiang Ruan also talked to him about serious matters. “But you can’t just leave him with me every time and ask me to take care of him.”

Grandpa Qin: "If it doesn't work every time, how about once in a while?"

Jiang Ruan: "I sent a video to my mom."

"No, no, no," Old Master Qin said very quickly. "I know it won't work every time, except in special circumstances. I promise I won't do it like before."

“You said so.” Jiang Ruan nodded.

Grandpa Qin immediately replied, "Yes, I said so."

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Okay, you can go and take him away."

Old Master Qin resigned himself to his fate and went with her.

Not long after.

The old man and Jiang Ruan appeared together in the study.

Huo Zhizhou, who had come over after hearing the commotion, raised an eyebrow when he saw Old Master Qin.

He was wearing a loose black casual trench coat over a black shirt, the slightly open collar revealing his sexy collarbone and skin. He was lounging casually on the sofa, his handsome face looking less serious and more languid than usual.

Seeing him like this, Old Master Qin's lips twitched, but he said something very serious: "Let's go, let's see what you helped me photograph."

"Okay." Huo Zhizhou put down the book and got up from the sofa.

As he passed Jiang Ruan, he deliberately stopped and said in a low, magnetic voice, "I'm going downstairs to discuss some matters with your grandfather. Call me anytime if you need anything, Director Jiang—"

He deliberately dragged out the last three words.

Unaffected by his words, Jiang Ruan simply replied with four words: "Take care and don't bother seeing me off."

Huo Zhizhou raised his hand and ruffled her hair, but only for a moment before turning back and leaving with Old Master Qin.
