Qin Lu patiently coaxed, his voice soothing, “Alright, I understand. I’ll go help out. Just take a deep breath and try to calm down, Grandma.”
Old Madam Qin shot him a sharp glance and let out a disdainful snort, “You’re just saying nice things, but I doubt you’ll be of much help.”
“I promise, Grandma, I’ll do whatever I can to assist,” Qin Lu reassured her earnestly, a hint of determination in his tone.
Acknowledging Qin Lu’s sincere admission of fault, Old Madam Qin’s resentment softened ever so slightly.
Glancing at the clock, she clapped her hands on her knees with a resolute expression, “I’ve made up my mind. I won’t be sleeping tonight. I’ll stay up and wait for Yanyan to come back!”
“Grandma, Yanyan’s return time isn’t set in stone. She might be back as early as eleven, or it could be well past midnight. Why don’t you go to bed first, and when she arrives, I’ll make sure she goes straight to your room to see you?” Qin Lu suggested, trying to reason with her gently.
Dealing with Old Madam Qin’s unpredictable temperament was a challenge that Qin Lu often faced with a sense of resignation.
He couldn’t control her, nor could he scold her; all he could do was indulge her whims.
Otherwise, if she continued to throw tantrums, peace would be elusive for the Qin family.
But Old Madam Qin remained resolute, her voice unwavering, “No, I must wait for her to return. If Yanyan doesn’t show up, then I won’t be sleeping at all!” It was understandable why the old lady held such a strong opinion.
Nan Yan had come home to stay, yet for three whole days, Old Madam Qin hadn’t seen a glimpse of her.
After eagerly anticipating her arrival, the disappointment of not seeing Nan Yan was something the old lady simply couldn’t bear.
Qin Lu had no choice but to let Old Madam Qin do as she pleased.
At ten o’clock in the evening, Qin Lu drove to Imperial University.
At that moment, Nan Yan was in Zong Jinqi’s office, going over the presentation materials she would need for the next day.
After the PowerPoint presentation finished, Zong Jinqi couldn’t help but nod in approval, “Yanyan, with this information, I’m seventy percent confident we can sway the people present tomorrow.”
The remaining thirty percent would depend on Nan Yan’s performance tomorrow..
