Guh Chengjun was yelled at by Old Master An until he was somewhat bewildered. He was puzzled in his heart, why was the An Family so different from the Guh Family? In the Guh Family, no matter how capable Guh Siqing was, it was a matter of life or death at the word of Guh Tian. Why did the An Family spoil An Yiqing to such an uncontrollable extent?
Just as An Yiqing, who had just reached the stair corner, heard Old Master An’s roar, warmth filled her heart, and a soft smile spread across her face.
"Grandpa, please don’t be angry!" An Yiqing said in a sweet voice as she descended the stairs, "For the sake of such a person, you mustn’t let it ruin your health!" While speaking, she quickly sat down beside Old Master An and stretched out her small hand to soothe his anger.
As soon as the girl came downstairs, the An Family, who had all been keeping cold faces, changed their expressions. They all smiled and kept asking An Yiqing non-stop questions.
"Oh! Grandma’s darling little treasure! Are you hungry? Grandma will make you something delicious!" Saying this, Old Lady An energetically turned around and left the living room.
"Darling daughter, sit with Grandpa for a while. Mom will go help your grandma," Kong Shi gently touched the girl’s hair and then reluctantly left.
An Zisheng, who was sitting on the sofa, saw his daughter come down and immediately moved to sit beside her. His face was full of pride, visible even to a blind man.
An Zhihang and An Zhiyan, the two naturally born sons who had been neglected, also adoringly watched An Yiqing, their eyes filled with tenderness.
"Aiyo, Grandpa’s little sweetheart!" As soon as Old Master An saw An Yiqing, he lost all his temper, his smile brimming with affection, "My precious granddaughter, are you hungry? Really, you haven’t come out for so long, and you haven’t even had a meal. Look, your little face seems to have thinned."
An Yiqing listened to her grandfather’s nagging with curved eyebrows and eyes, her heart as sweet as if it had been coated with honey.
"Eh? Where’s Ah Lin?"
The constantly smiling An Zisheng heard his daughter’s question, and a sour feeling rose unceasingly in his heart, "Who knows where that boy has gone off to? He’s been out of sight since early in the morning!"
An Yiqing blinked twice, looking somewhat puzzled.
Just then, a weak voice chimed in.
"Miss An..." Guh Chengjun finally understood the degree of An Yiqing’s favor in the An Family. Because of this, he became even more cautious, "Hello, my name is Guh Chengjun, from the Guh Family."
An Yiqing turned her head, her eyes, which had been warm and smiling, suddenly became cool and indifferent, startling Guh Chengjun.
It was the same person, yet how could her temperament change so much from one moment to the next!
"Mr. Guh," An Yiqing smiled faintly, her attitude distant, "I wonder what brings you to the An Family this time?"
Without realizing it, the girl’s imposing presence made Guh Chengjun feel quite uncomfortable. He shakily took out a handkerchief and wiped the increasing cold sweat from his forehead.
"Miss An..." Guh Chengjun forced a smile, then took out a check from his pocket, "This is your ten million. Old Master Guh has said that he is very sorry for what the Second Miss did, and he has already taught her a good lesson. This ten million is yours, and he hopes Miss An will be generous and let this matter pass."
After speaking, Guh Chengjun held out the check with both hands, presenting it respectfully to An Yiqing.
The girl stared at the ten million check in Guh Chengjun’s hand, her smile meaningful. This Guh Tian was indeed an Old Fox, much more clever than Guh Siqing!
Guh Chengjun was unnerved by An Yiqing’s smile. He couldn’t figure out what the girl was thinking at all; he just felt chills creeping up his back. Holding the check shakily, he anxiously looked at An Yiqing.
