Chapter 1140: 1120, Extra Story Seventeen (2)_2 Chapter 1140: 1120, Extra Story Seventeen (2)_2 “So what help are you talking about?” It’s always better to pay back favors as soon as possible.

“I haven’t quite figured it out myself, just owe it to me for now, and I’ll tell you when I’ve decided,” Quan Tianqi said in a deep voice, “Let me borrow your phone.”

“What for?” Xi An’an asked.

“You’ll know if you lend it to me.”

Xi An’an looked at him skeptically, and then took out her phone and handed it to him.

Quan Tianqi pressed on the phone and said, “This is my mobile number, and when I remember that I need your help, I’ll give you a call.”

With that, he handed the phone back to her.

Xi An’an stared at the new number in her phone, somewhat taken aback.

When the two of them left the mall, it was already dark.

“Where do you live? I’ll take you home,” Quan Tianqi glanced sideways at the person beside him, his brows tinged with a rare gentleness.

“No need, I can get back on my own,” Xi An’an declined.

Quan Tianqi did not insist and hummed indifferently.

Xi An’an hailed a cab and left first.

Only when the car disappeared into the crowd did Quan Tianqi withdraw his gaze.

Looking down at the clothes on his body, he couldn’t help but recall the scene where Xi An’an had picked out clothes for him.

The Xi Family to the south, huh, interesting!

…

“An’an, the performance is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and we need to start rehearsing at the venue in the afternoon,” Xu Ran said.

Xi An’an nestled on the couch, her fluffy lion pajamas making her seem even more delicate and lively as she munched on snacks, occasionally nodding her small head.

Xu Ran looked at the lion tail on her pajamas and smiled faintly, “By the way, An’an, are you going back to the Xi Family?”

Upon hearing this, Xi An’an’s delicate eyebrows furrowed, and then she fell silent.

As her agent, Xu Ran knew all about the affairs of the Xi Family and cherished the girl she had brought up by herself.

Such a wonderful girl, she thought, how could the Xi Family be so blind? To disregard her, a beauty with talent, and instead indulge those worthless girls who strut around arrogantly, engaging in lowly behavior.

After much thought, Xu Ran decided to inform her, “An’an, I’m afraid Old Master Xi is not going to make it, he’s in the hospital now.”

“What?” Xi An’an abruptly stood up, snacks spilling from her arms.

“You were on tour abroad recently, and Old Master Xi didn’t let me tell you. These past few days, I’ve heard that the Xi Family has been frequently visiting the hospital; I suspect the Old Master may not hold on much longer,” Xu Ran explained.

Hearing this, Xi An’an’s face turned ashen in an instant.

Her hand by her side trembled slightly, and a mist seemed to rise in her eyes.

“An’an, are you alright?” Seeing her state, Xu Ran hurriedly showed concern.

Xi An’an sniffled, struggling to quell the bitterness in her eyes, and said with a choked voice, “Sister Xu, I need to go to the hospital.”

“Right now?” Xu Ran asked.

Xi An’an nodded, the Old Master was her only relative left, and she had to see him.

“But at this time, the Xi Family will all be at the hospital, and if you go there, they certainly won’t give you a warm reception,” Xu Ran voiced her worries.

“Sister Xu, I must see Great Grandpa. If I’m too late, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life,” Xi An’an said with clenched lips, her hands tightly balled into fists.

Seeing the determination in her eyes, Xu Ran could only agree, “Alright, then. Go change your clothes, and I’ll drive.”

Spring in Beijing is a rainy season.

The car rolled over the ground, splashing up white sprays of water.

Anxious about the Old Master’s condition, Xi An’an didn’t bother with an umbrella and dashed straight from the car into the hospital.

Xu Ran parked the car, grabbed a hat and a mask, and followed her.

“An’an, wait for me.”

Due to being in public, she didn’t dare to call out and attract attention to herself.

The urgent footsteps in the quiet corridor revealed the person’s anxious mood.

Outside the VIP ward, a group of people dressed in flashy clothes blocked the entrance.

Among them, several young men and women showed impatience on their faces.

Xi An’an, why are you here?” The woman lounging on a bench, immersed in her smartphone, burst out like a lit firecracker at the sight of Xi An’an.

The crowd blocking the door heard the name “Xi An’an” and turned in unison, their faces darkening on seeing her.

Xi An’an, long accustomed to their unfriendly looks, stated her purpose directly, “I want to see Great Grandpa.”

“What, you rushed here after hearing Great Grandpa is critically ill? Are you here to stake a claim on the inheritance?” Xi Yu said sarcastically.

“Xi An’an, don’t think that just because you can play the piano you are anything special. Don’t even think about getting a penny of Great Grandpa’s wealth.”

“Move aside, I don’t want to argue with you. I just want to see Great Grandpa,” Xi An’an said coldly.

“Great Grandpa is resting; he has no time to see you. You can go back now,” Xi Yu said disdainfully, looking down on her from her high horse.

“I won’t leave without seeing Great Grandpa,” Xi An’an retorted, facing her gaze with a firm tone.

Xi Yu, looking at her delicate features, felt her jealousy turn into sharp and shrill words, “Xi An’an, you’re just getting cocky because Great Grandpa dotes on you. But look at that face, trying to act all pitiable – it makes me sick just looking at it.”

Not satisfied with just words, Xi Yu raised her hand, aiming a slap at Xi An’an.

She was arrogant and domineering, but alas, Xi An’an was not one to be trifled with.

She grabbed Xi Yu’s wrist in one swift motion and with a slight twist, Xi Yu’s face instantly turned a shade of purple as she howled in pain.

“Xi An’an, let go, you lunatic!”

With her daughter being bullied, naturally, Lin Juan was displeased. Like mother, like daughter, she went straight to grabbing Xi An’an’s hair.

That fiery temper truly made her no different from a fierce shrew.
