His expression slightly fell, and he had no words to refute.
Qiu Bo, standing on the side, was terrified as he listened to their conversation.
âI donât care about what happened back then, but anyone who dares to target Guai Bao, I wonât let them off.â Quan Jingwuâs gaze was cold and his low voice carried a trace of murderous intent.
âXiang Cheng is a warning, you should know my nature. Iâve never enjoyed making jokes.â
âIs this a threat?â Old Master Anâs imposing brows chilledly asked.
âIf you consider this a threat, then it is one, I wonât disagree.â Quan Jingwu casually responded.
âThe people I, Quan Jingwu, cherish and pamper, itâs never their turn to bully and manipulate.â
âI admit that 17 years ago, the An Family wronged Qing. Iâm willing to do everything in my power to make it up to her, IâŠâ A trace of sorrow flashed in Old Master Anâs eyes, his voice calm.
Seemingly predicting what Old Master An was about to say, Quan Jingwu interrupted him, âEven if you truly care for Guai Bao, Iâm guessing not everyone in the An family feels the same way. I think if you genuinely wanted to make it up to Guai Bao, maybe you should keep a close eye on your family. This will prevent them from doing something impulsive and unwise.â
He paused, then continued, âIâll make it clear today. If anyone in the An Family dares to harm Guai Bao, Iâll slaughter one of them. If everyone from the An Family targets Guai Bao, then Iâll exterminate them all without mercy. You should know that this isnât a difficult task for me.â
When he finished speaking, Old Master An met his gaze. His body quaked, Qiu Bo happened to glance at Quan Jingwu as well, he couldnât help but feel surprised.
It seemed the rumors were true, lord Jingwu was indeed emotionally invested in Miss Qing. If anyone in the An Family were foolish enough to provoke Miss Qing again, the consequencesâŠ
Qiu Bo lowered his head, not daring to think further.
Quan Jingwu maintained a calm expression, allowing Old Master An to keep looking at him.
After a long while, Uncle An let out a heavy sigh. His heart was filled with both elation and concern.
He was pleased that even after his departure from the world, Qing would still have someone to rely on. Yet, he was apprehensive as he feared the fools in his home might do something unforgivable.
âI suppose todayâs tea would not be to your liking, I shall take my leave.â Now that his objective had been accomplished, Quan Jingwu rose and lightly said.
Watching him leave, Old Master An made no further attempt to retain him.
After a moment, Qiu Bo finally spoke, âMaster, you can rest easy now. It seems lord Jingwuâs feelings for Miss Qing are sincere.â
âI completely trust her judgment.â Old Master An stroked his beard, his voice filled with a hint of age, âYou heard what that young fellow Quan Jingwu said just now, if the individuals in this house dared to harm Qing, given his nature, he wouldnât hesitate to follow through on his threats.â
He was quickly approaching his own grave, he wouldnât be able to protect them for much longer. The An Family seemed prosperous, but internally they were broken. He didnât ask for much, he simply wished for harmony amongst his family.
âThisâŠâ Qiu Bo choked up.
âEnough, the seeds they sowed seventeen years ago, itâs time for them to reap their just desserts. If they still havenât realized the severity of the situation, then even if I could protect them for the time being, thereâs no guarantee of a lasting safety.â Old Master An said helplessly while touching his already cold teacup.
âMaster, should we ask the eldest to come back?â Qiu Bo cautiously asked.
Old Master Anâs gaze flashed with hesitation, âLetâs wait, it isnât time yet.â
Qiu Bo nodded before changing the subject, âMaster, do you really not plan on discussing the eldestâs marriage with him? Would you really let him remain unmarried?â
When this matter was brought up, Old Master An shook his head with a light chuckle, âYou understand his temperament pretty well, if I mention it frequently, he would surely stay overseas indefinitely.â
Qiu Bo made a casual remark, âNo matter how fed up the eldest is, heâll still return to see you.â
âEnough, let him be.â Old Master An discarded the cold tea and poured a fresh cup of hot tea, then took a gentle sip.

The sky was clear, not a single speck of dust was visible.
Jian Qing took Snowball to the supermarket, on her way back, she also collected the chocolates Jian Luo had sent her. She parked her car in the garage and walked back leisurely with her groceries.
From afar, Jian Qing saw a figure lurking around her front door. Judging from the silhouette, it was a woman.
Snowball had also taken notice of the woman. The moment it was about to scare her away with two howls, Jian Qing quickly stopped it and shook her head.
Snowball obeyed and silenced itself, obediently following behind Jian Qing.
Jian Qing lightened her footsteps and quietly walked over. The person crouching down at the entrance suddenly turned in the other direction and headed toward the French windows.
The curtains of the French window werenât closed, the bright and open living room was completely visible and comfortably furnished.
âNice design.â The woman stood by the French window, murmuring quietly to herself.
âWhy canât I open this?â
âWho are you?â Jian Qingâs icy voice suddenly rang out, startling the woman, who almost fell into the flowerpot.
Jian Qing put her groceries aside and leisurely looked at the petrified figure.
The woman turned around slowly, her bizarre attire catching Jian Qingâs eye, causing the corner of her mouth to quirk.
The womanâs pale purple suit accentuated her tall and curvy figure, her big curl hairstyle neatly coiled up. Her face was obscured by a large pair of sunglasses and mask.
Jian Qing thought, isnât she afraid of heat stroke in such hot weather?
While she was assessing her, the woman was also covertly studying Jian Qing. She was hidden behind her sunglasses, her eyes flashed a hint of surprise and she curved her lips upwards.
Not bad, not bad, her son truly has excellent taste.
âWoof woofâââ
Itâs the masterâs mother, a beauty, itâs the masterâs mother.
Suddenly, Snowball, who was quietly standing by Jian Qingâs side, loudly howled at the woman, but not in the ferocious and cautious way it had with strangers before.
The woman then noticed Snowball next to Jian Qing, the smile on her face froze and she took a few steps back.
Damn, why is this ball of fur here?!
Jian Qing bent down to pat Snowballâs head. Her eyes flitted past the woman, and she spoke calmly.
âSnowball, go find security.â
âNo, no, letâs discuss this reasonably.â The woman hurriedly protested, âIâm not a bad person, really, I promise.â
Jian Qing lifted her eyes to look at her, her eyebrows raised in inquiry, âUsually, donât bad people never admit they are bad indeed?â
âIâŠâ The woman fell silent.
The roar and wails of a car engine sounded in the distance, attracting the attention of the two women and one wolf.
The smooth lines of a sports car glowed in the sunlight. Seeing the familiar vehicle, Jian Qingâs lips faintly curled upwards, while the woman by the side adjusted her mask, fearing she might accidentally expose herself.
