Chapter 834: 820, a bunch of monsters and demons (2) Chapter 834: 820, a bunch of monsters and demons (2) An Zhonghui looked at Jian Qing and Jian Luo with a complicated expression in his eyes, then turned and left. Seeing this, Zhou Qi also followed out.

After seeing them off, Uncle Qiu closed the door.

“Master, please have something to eat first, or the food will get cold again.”

Old Master An nodded, his gaunt hands bracing against the bed as he got up with some difficulty. Suddenly, two hands stretched out beside him, supporting him on both sides.

He was slightly startled and followed those fair hands upward to see Jian Qing’s delicate profile, a warm current swept over his heart.

Jian Qing and Jian Luo supported him on either side towards the sofa, with Uncle Qiu watching by the side, a relieved smile on his face.

With age weighing on him and unsteady legs, Old Master An had only walked a few steps before he began to feel weak, and the two Jian siblings slowed their pace to support him.

Perhaps it was the joy of seeing Jian Luo and the others that made Old Master An eat quite a lot, which greatly reassured Uncle Qiu.

“Qing girl, are you leaving?” Old Master An hurriedly asked as he saw Jian Qing and the others rise, a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

Jian Qing nodded, “Great-grandfather, we will come to see you again next time.”

It had indeed been a long time since she had called someone “Great-grandfather.”

Jian Luo looked at her, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

Old Master An stood there stupefied, his expression blank.

Had he heard wrong just now?

Great-grandfather?

Did Qing girl just call him Great-grandfather, or was he hearing things, seeing illusions?

He looked up at Uncle Qiu to see him nodding with reddened eyes. Still somewhat incredulous, he stared blankly at the Jian siblings, his lips quivering.

“What, what did you just call me?”

Having said it once, it was easier the second time. Jian Qing curved her lips and repeated, “Great-grandfather, isn’t that right?”

In that instant, Old Master An’s eyes reddened, and tears overflowed. He raised his hand to wipe them away, but couldn’t stop them.

“Haha, yes, that’s exactly right…”

He laughed and cried at the same time, overwhelmed with emotion.

Finally, he had heard the long-awaited title of Great-grandfather. He had thought he would never hear it in his lifetime and that he would take this regret to his grave.

Thank goodness, he didn’t have to leave the world with this regret. Heaven had been kind to him after all.

“Great-grandfather, you’re not in the best of health, it’s not good for you to get so excited.” Jian Luo pulled out a tissue and wiped away the tears streaming down his face.

With tearful eyes, Old Master An looked at him, grabbing his hand, his voice hoarse, “I’m sorry, it’s all Great-grandfather’s fault, I’ve wronged you.”

It was he who hadn’t protected them well, he who had lost them with his own hands.

“Great-grandfather, let bygones be bygones,” Jian Luo patted his hand, speaking in a gentle voice.

Old Master An’s eyes moistened as he nodded repeatedly.

“You rest first. We will come to see you another day. My dad will be back in a couple of days, and then you can go stay at Shijin Haoting with him for a couple of days. Xiaojing and I will also take Shanshan and the others to live in Shijin Haoting.” Jian Qing said.

Old Master An nodded, thinking of the prospect of seeing them and the two little ones more often, his smile almost spilling out of his eyes.

“Wait a moment, the two of you, I have something to give to you.” He looked at Uncle Qiu and gave him a look, and Uncle Qiu understood and went out.

Jian Luo looked at Jian Qing with a puzzled expression on her face.

It wasn’t long before Autumn Uncle returned with a document envelope.

“Qing girl, I know you all don’t lack anything, but consider this a token of my affection for seventeen and nineteen,” Old Master An said.

Autumn Uncle held the document envelope in both hands and presented it to Jian Qing, “Miss Qing, this is the Old Master’s gesture of kindness, so please don’t decline.”

Jian Qing lowered her gaze to the sealed document envelope, then looked at Old Master An, who nodded at her, “Take it.”

After a moment of hesitation, Jian Qing reached out and accepted it, and Old Master An smiled in satisfaction.

“Great-grandfather, we will be leaving now,” Jian Luo said.

“Hmm, be careful on the road.”

Upon leaving the room, Jian Qing and Jian Luo went straight downstairs.

“Oh, it seems like this visit has been quite rewarding,” An Rong remarked sarcastically upon noticing the document envelope in Jian Qing’s hand.

“You said you don’t like coming to the An Family, but you seem quite adept at ‘picking up something on the sly.'”

At these words, many eyes turned to the document envelope in Jian Qing’s hand, with various expressions, especially An Yu, who was so angry that her face turned red.

In her view, Old Master An must have given Jian Qing and her brother some valuable items, maybe even his entire fortune.

“Jian Qing, what do you have there?” Zhou Qi asked, her eyes fixed intently on the document envelope in Jian Qing’s hands.

Jian Qing didn’t even deign to glance at her and continued walking outside, while Jian Luo gave Zhou Qi a sneering look from the corner of her eye.

“Stop right there, Jian Qing; I said stop!” Zhou Qi chased after them, blocking Jian Qing’s way and looking at her with hostility.

“Tell me clear and straight, did you deceive the old master into giving you something?”

Jian Qing curled her lips into a cold sneer and looked at her icily, “What I have in my hands, what does it have to do with you? If you really want to know what’s inside, why don’t you go and ask the Old Master yourself?”

“If you don’t explain what’s in there today, you’re not leaving,” Zhou Qi insisted stubbornly, determined to find out what was inside the document envelope.

Jian Qing raised an eyebrow, a cold sharpness in her gaze, “What, you think you can keep us here against our will, do you think you have that ability?”

If it weren’t for considering her father’s honor, she wouldn’t have tolerated her until now.

“Enough, Zhou Qi! Stop making a scene,” An Zhonghui shouted sternly.

Zhou Qi turned to look at him, her face ashen.

“Zhonghui, am I the one causing trouble? Look at her attitude. She says she has nothing to do with our An family, yet she’s holding something from our An family. What right does an outsider have to take something from our An family?”

“That’s right, grandmother is correct; outsiders don’t have the right to take anything from our An Family,” An Yu jumped in, echoing her words.

Jian Luo watched this group of disagreeable people and his mouth twitched faintly.

Why was there so much drama with these people? Did he and his sister look like they were in desperate need of money?

At that moment, Autumn Uncle came downstairs.

Seeing Zhou Qi blocking the door and preventing Jian Qing from leaving, he frowned and said sternly, “That document envelope is a gift from the Old Master to Miss Qing’s two babies, and the Old Master said that anyone who has objections should go and speak to him.”

With those words, Zhou Qi and the others, no matter how resentful, had to swallow their grievances.

“Luoluo, let’s go,” Jian Qing said, glancing at An Yu’s livid face, a hint of mockery flashing through the depths of her eyes.

Watching Jian Qing walk away with the document envelope, Zhou Qi felt a surge of anger and turned to go argue with Old Master An.
