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.

“I don’t care about what happened back then, but anyone who dares to target Guai Bao, I won’t let them off.” Quan Jingwu’s gaze was cold and his low voice carried a trace of murderous intent.

“Xiang Cheng is a warning, you should know my nature. I’ve never enjoyed making jokes.”

“Is this a threat?” Old Master An’s imposing brows chilledly asked.

“If you consider this a threat, then it is one, I won’t disagree.” Quan Jingwu casually responded.

“The people I, Quan Jingwu, cherish and pamper, it’s never their turn to bully and manipulate.”

“I admit that 17 years ago, the An Family wronged Qing. I’m willing to do everything in my power to make it up to her, I…” A trace of sorrow flashed in Old Master An’s eyes, his voice calm.

Seemingly predicting what Old Master An was about to say, Quan Jingwu interrupted him, “Even if you truly care for Guai Bao, I’m 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.”

He paused, then continued, “I’ll make it clear today. If anyone in the An Family dares to harm Guai Bao, I’ll slaughter one of them. If everyone from the An Family targets Guai Bao, then I’ll exterminate them all without mercy. You should know that this isn’t a difficult task for me.”

When he finished speaking, Old Master An met his gaze. His body quaked, Qiu Bo happened to glance at Quan Jingwu as well, he couldn’t 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 consequences…

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.

“I suppose today’s tea would not be to your liking, I shall take my leave.” 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, “Master, you can rest easy now. It seems lord Jingwu’s feelings for Miss Qing are sincere.”

“I completely trust her judgment.” Old Master An stroked his beard, his voice filled with a hint of age, “You heard what that young fellow Quan Jingwu said just now, if the individuals in this house dared to harm Qing, given his nature, he wouldn’t hesitate to follow through on his threats.”

He was quickly approaching his own grave, he wouldn’t be able to protect them for much longer. The An Family seemed prosperous, but internally they were broken. He didn’t ask for much, he simply wished for harmony amongst his family.

“This…” Qiu Bo choked up.

“Enough, the seeds they sowed seventeen years ago, it’s time for them to reap their just desserts. If they still haven’t realized the severity of the situation, then even if I could protect them for the time being, there’s no guarantee of a lasting safety.” Old Master An said helplessly while touching his already cold teacup.

“Master, should we ask the eldest to come back?” Qiu Bo cautiously asked.

Old Master An’s gaze flashed with hesitation, “Let’s wait, it isn’t time yet.”

Qiu Bo nodded before changing the subject, “Master, do you really not plan on discussing the eldest’s marriage with him? Would you really let him remain unmarried?”

When this matter was brought up, Old Master An shook his head with a light chuckle, “You understand his temperament pretty well, if I mention it frequently, he would surely stay overseas indefinitely.”

Qiu Bo made a casual remark, “No matter how fed up the eldest is, he’ll still return to see you.”

“Enough, let him be.” 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 weren’t closed, the bright and open living room was completely visible and comfortably furnished.

“Nice design.” The woman stood by the French window, murmuring quietly to herself.

“Why can’t I open this?”

“Who are you?” Jian Qing’s 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 Qing’s eye, causing the corner of her mouth to quirk.

The woman’s 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, isn’t 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.

“Woof woof––”

It’s the master’s mother, a beauty, it’s the master’s mother.

Suddenly, Snowball, who was quietly standing by Jian Qing’s 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 Snowball’s head. Her eyes flitted past the woman, and she spoke calmly.

“Snowball, go find security.”

“No, no, let’s discuss this reasonably.” The woman hurriedly protested, “I’m not a bad person, really, I promise.”

Jian Qing lifted her eyes to look at her, her eyebrows raised in inquiry, “Usually, don’t bad people never admit they are bad indeed?”

“I…” 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 Qing’s lips faintly curled upwards, while the woman by the side adjusted her mask, fearing she might accidentally expose herself.
