Nan Yan’s words made all the members of the An family lose face.
An Muyao was on the verge of digging her nails into her palms, glaring at her with venomous eyes, wishing she could just pounce on her and strangle her.
But in front of so many people, she had to suppress her anger, keeping her head down to control the hatred burning within her.
Under the gazes of the An family members, Nan Yan ushered Grandfather An into the elevator.
Once Nan Yan and her group entered the elevator, An Muyao tearfully looked at
Lu Lehua, “Mom, Grandfather won’t forgive me. What should I do?”
Lu Lehua consoled her, “Your grandfather is just upset right now. Let him cool down first. Once he’s calmer, he’ll surely recognize your good qualities and accept you again.”
“He didn’t kick you out of the An family, so there’s still room for redemption in this matter. Go abroad for a few months to study, and things will improve when you come back.”
“Your mother is right. Put this matter on hold for now and focus on arranging your studies abroad. We’ll deal with the rest when you return.” An Yaoqing hadn’t given up on his daughter yet.
In his eyes, An Muyao was much more valuable than Nan Yan.
Within the world of prestigious families, conflicts among siblings were commonplace. An Muyao’s actions, in reality, weren’t that significant.
Online opinions might not be favorable to her for a short period of time, but the internet was a rapidly changing place. In a few months or even a year, this incident would likely be forgotten by most netizens.
Moreover, the matriarchs of prestigious families weren’t innocent or naive.
Thev had to be resourceful and determined to manaze their households effectively.
As long as An Muyao proved herself capable, she could establish a firm position in the prestigious circle.
Listening to the comforting words of An Yaoqing and Lu Lehua, An Muyao could only acquiesce for the moment.
As for the old man who refused to die, she would find a way for him to report to the afterlife sooner rather than later.
When he was gone, let’s see who would protect that wretched Nan Yan!
Her immediate priority was to mend her parents’ and older brothers’ impression of her. She couldn’t afford to become estranged from them.
An Muyao took a deep breath and approached An Zhici and the others. With her head lowered, she put on an apologetic expression, “Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, I’m sorry for disappointing you.”
She had already conquered An Yaoqing and Lu Lehua. Now, she still needed to win over her three older brothers.
As for An Xiran…
A cold intent flashed in An Muyao’s eyes.
She would make him understand the consequences of standing on the wrong side!
An Zhici looked at the girl he had pampered since childhood. The perfect filter he once had over her had shattered.
He had some grievances against An Muyao now.
However, after all these years of sincere affection, he couldn’t be too cold-hearted, especially when he saw her hopeful yet sad gaze.
An Mulin and An Siting were both watching him for his reaction, remaining silent for the moment.
After a brief silence, An Zhici spoke, “Let’s head back home. No need to make a spectacle of ourselves at the hospital.’
An Muyao bit her lip, obediently nodding, “Alright.”
Inside the car.
Grandfather An held Nan Yan’s hand and said in a serious tone, “Yan Yan, when we get back to the ancestral home, I’ll have the family lawyer transfer those shares and assets to your name.”
He hadn’t planned to transfer them so soon, but the attitudes of An Yaoqing and Lu Lehua today had left him cold-hearted. He didn’t want to wait any longer.
Nan Yan looked at him with clear eyes and said softly, “Grandfather, I don’t want your shares and assets.”
After all, she wasn’t the original host and didn’t want to establish too many connections with the An family.
Besides, she wouldn’t be in Jin City for long.
She would go to the Imperial Capital for university, and her ultimate goal was
in the international arena.
At best, Jin City was just a temporary stopover for her.
If she accepted the assets from Grandfather An, it might become a constraint on her freedom.
“Why don’t you want them?” Grandfather An’s tone grew anxious. “You don’t want to forgive your parents, and now you want to distance yourself from your grandfather as well?”
“Of course not.” Nan Yan comforted him, gently patting his chest.
“Grandfather, calm down first, don’t get agitated.”
“Why shouldn’t I be agitated? Yan Yan, what are you thinking? What do you want to do? Give your grandfather some insight. Don’t worry your grandfather too much.”
Since learning that Nan Yan was a divine physician, Grandfather An couldn’t view her with his previous perspective.
He used to believe Nan Yan was completely inept, afraid she wouldn’t be able to survive in the future. That’s why he intended to leave his assets to her.
Now that he knew her abilities, he wanted to give her everything he had. He was worried that Nan Yan would leave the An family without hesitation if he passed away, which was an outcome he didn’t want to see.
He’d rather use his assets to tie her down, making sure she stayed in the An family.
“I’m not planning anything special. At this stage, I just want to study hard and try to get into the Imperial Capital University next year.”
Nan Yan reassured him with a pat on his chest. “Grandfather, it’s too early to talk about those things now. Let’s discuss them later.”
“You want to go to the Imperial Capital University?”
Grandfather An’s attention was instantly diverted by her goal.
Nan Yan’s academic performance hadn’t escaped his notice, but her grades and her aspiration to attend the Imperial Capital University were simply incompatible.
He didn’t know about Nan Yan’s recent achievement of topping the monthly exam.
Nan Yan nodded, “Yes.”
Grandfather An clenched his teeth and clapped his hands, “Alright, as long as you want to go, I’ll find a way to make it happen for you. You’ll achieve your wish!”
Nan Yan:
Did he really think she was just daydreaming?
Well, let him think whatever he wants. For now, she wouldn’t mention transferring the assets.
Back at the ancestral home, Tian Yi quickly fetched a wheelchair, and Nan Yan helped Grandfather An out of the car.
Qin Lu carried Nan Yan’s luggage and bags into the living room.
“Ah Lu, you’ve gone to so much trouble.” Grandfather An said with a smile.
Qin Lu replied calmly, “Not at all.’
He looked at Nan Yan with a deeply affectionate gaze that seemed to belong to her alone. “Dealing with Yan Yan’s affairs has never been a trouble for me.”
Caught in his intense gaze, Nan Yan’s heart skipped a beat. Feeling her ears heat up, she quickly averted her gaze, not daring to lock eyes with him again.
Watching their interactions closely, Grandfather An felt that his granddaughter might have some favorable feelings for Qin Lu as well.
But thinking about it, he realized that with someone as close to perfection as Qin Lu, it was hard for any woman to resist his charm.
Especially someone like Nan Yan, at an age where one’s heart is just beginning to bloom. She probably found it even more difficult to resist his appeal.
Grandfather An’s feelings became slightly tangled, but he also thought that having someone like Qin Lu take care of Nan Yan might not be a bad thing.
At least, he would be a powerful backer for her, and with him around, no one would dare to bully her.
After coming to this conclusion, Grandfather An’s attitude towards Qin Lu became even warmer, “It’s almost time for dinner. Stay and have a meal with us.”
Qin Lu smiled warmly, “Thank you for your hospitality.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone vibrated in his pocket.
His phone had vibrated several times before, but each time, Qin Lu had mercilessly ignored it.
And this time was no different.
Meanwhile, Wu Yue was anxiously gripping his phone, almost in despair:
Master Qin, please quickly answer the call!
