However, with which Jianghu had the Qin family formed a partnership? What benefits had they given the Qin family that made them take such risks?
An Yiqing was somewhat puzzled and confused.
From the corner of his eye, he saw her frowning, and Gu Yelin extended his right hand to gently pat the top of her head.
"Stop worrying, the boat will find its way when it gets to the bridgehead, and the fox’s tail will show itself sooner or later," he said.
An Yiqing obediently nodded her head. Let it be, the boat will straighten at the bridge. As long as she accelerated her training progress, she could withstand more enemies. In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are paper tigers.
After a car ride of a little over an hour, An Yiqing and Gu Yelin returned to the An Family.
It was now after five in the evening, and except for An Zhiyan, who had stayed at the troops tonight, all other members of the An Family had returned home.
Because the flight she took happened to coincide with dinner time, An Yiqing had not informed her family of her return. Otherwise, they would have waited anxiously for her without having their meal.
The doorbell rang, and the An Family, who were dining in the dining room, looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Who could it be visiting our home at this hour?" Kong Shi asked.
"Could it be Xiao Gu coming back?" Old Lady An chimed in.
"It shouldn’t be him. Lao San mentioned earlier he had something to do and would come back late," An Zhihang said as he rose from his chair and walked towards the door, "I’ll go open it. You guys go on and eat, Mom and Dad."
However, with so many things happening at home recently, and an abnormal doorbell ringing at an abnormal time, how could they eat?
They all perked up their ears, concentrating and listening intently to the noises coming from outside the door.
Just then, An Zhihang exclaimed in surprise.
"Niuniu?! You’re back, why didn’t you tell us!"
"Um, I arrived right at mealtime, and I didn’t want to disrupt your dinner," An Yiqing’s gentle voice was heard clearly by everyone in the dining room.
Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly stood up and walked towards the foyer.
"Niuniu, you should have let us know you were coming back! We could have picked you up," Kong Shi scrutinized her beloved daughter, whom she hadn’t seen in a day and a night, and chided.
"Exactly, my precious daughter. You let Lao San pick you up without even letting your dad have a chance," An Zisheng looked at An Yiqing with a face full of grievance, emitting a thick aura of resentment.
"You’re all grown up, Zisheng, why are you bickering with Niuniu?" Old Master An glared at An Zisheng, then turned his head and looked at An Yiqing with a warm, smiling face, saying kindly, "Niuniu, you must be hungry, come on, dinner’s ready."
An Yiqing was dragged into the house by the bustling family. She looked around and wondered, "Where’s Grandma? How come I don’t see Grandma?"
That’s when everyone noticed that Old Lady An, who was usually the most fond of her eldest granddaughter An Yiqing, was nowhere to be seen.
As they were all wondering, a cheerful voice came from the kitchen.
"My darling granddaughter! Grandma is making a few more of her special dishes for you, go wash your hands, it’s time to eat!"
Upon hearing this, An Yiqing hurriedly walked quickly to the kitchen.
Inside the kitchen, Old Lady An was busily stir-frying dishes with assistance from Aunt Li.
"Grandma, there’s already a whole table of dishes, don’t cook anymore, look after your health," An Yiqing hastened over and took hold of Old Lady An, trying to usher her away.
"Oh my dear Niuniu, do you still see me as that old lady from before? Now, I’m just like the name of that movie, what’s it called, right, right, ’Miss Granny’!" Old Lady An laughed heartily, the movement of her frying pan was precise and full of vigor, portraying an image of easiness and comfort.
