Chapter 975: Chapter 975: Chapter 213 All Decency is Gone (3)
Old Master An had just returned from outside and his eyes lit up the mont he saw An Yiqing. He waved at her repeatedly and called out, “Niuniu, co over here and sit with Grandpa.”
An Yiqing let go of Gu Yelin’s hand, walked obediently to Old Master An’s side, and took a seat, allowing him to observe her closely.
“Um, you’ve gained a bit of weight since a few days ago, but why is your chin still so sharp?” Old Master An frowned in dissatisfaction, feeling that his beloved granddaughter was too thin no matter how he looked at her.
“Old woman! Have Aunt Li make a few more at dishes to nourish Niuniu!”
Usually at the An Family, Old Lady An and Kong Shi rarely cooked, as it was generally done by the caretaker, Aunt Li. However, since An Yiqing’s return, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law duo had been cooking more often. Sotis, Aunt Li felt as if she was taking her salary for nothing, so taking advantage of the injuries the An Family had sustained these days, she seized the opportunity to reclaim her chores, determined to show off her cooking skills impressively today.
At Old Master An’s shout, Old Lady An, who was helping Aunt Li in the kitchen, imdiately responded, “Alright! Watch cook delicious food for my granddaughter!”
Upon hearing this, Aunt Li shook her head with a wry smile: “Old Lady, taking over my duties like this, I feel embarrassed to even accept my salary.”
Old Lady An knew that Aunt Li was joking. She waved her hand generously, took the kitchen knife from Aunt Li, and while chopping vegetables, said, “My dear, what are you saying? You’ve been with our family for so many years. When Xiao Shi was sick, you stayed by our side. Without your help all these years, how could our family have had such a comfortable life? We’re all family here; let’s not talk about salary. What you’ve done is far more precious than any salary.”
Aunt Li was deeply touched by Old Lady An’s words and was even more resolved never to leave the An Family.
In the living room, An Yiqing and Old Master An chatted happily for a while, but the atmosphere gradually beca more serious.
“How is the investigation into the sabotage against Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals going?” Old Master An asked.
“Well, there are so leads. I pretty much have an idea who it might be, but we still need Ah Feng and his team to investigate further.”
An Yiqing paused, then looked at Old Master An and asked, “Grandpa, where did you go today…”
“Grandpa went to et with the big shots today.”
Old Master An subtly pointed upwards and frowned, “The big shots have also taken on a lot for our family recently, but their positions are complex, and there are many things they want to help with but can’t. Today, I went there to give them a Calming Pill.”
During these days of crisis for Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals and the An Family, although Hua Zhifeng and Pei Yuanzhi hadn’t been at the forefront, they had helped the An Family fend off quite a few troubles behind the scenes.
As the saying goes, when the wall falls, everyone pushes. The higher the An Family’s position in Xuanjin, the more hidden enemies they have, and the attacks they face during crises are even more severe. If not for Hua Zhifeng and Pei Yuanzhi standing in the way, the An Family’s enemies would definitely not be limited to a few re troublemakers.
“Hua Zhifeng and Pei Zhuanzhi have indeed done a lot for our family these days. Grandpa, how about I take so gifts and visit them soday?”
Old Master An thought for a mont and nodded at An Yiqing, “That sounds good. The gifts don’t have to be too extravagant; it’s the thought that counts. The big shots are getting older now, and unlike and Old Gu, they don’t practice ancient martial arts. When I visited them today, I noticed they had much more white hair. Ah, national affairs really weigh on the mind!”
