Chapter 703: 689, gift for the child (3)_1

Jian Qing sat down across from him, a faint smile tugging at the corner of her lips.

“Azhe tells

you’re pregnant, so why are you still so thin?” The elder An’s gaze dropped to her still-flat stomach, his entire face crinkling into a smile.

“Yes, I’m three months along.” Jian Qing replied.

“Oh, wait a mont,” the elder An suddenly rembered sothing, he looked up at Aqiu and instructed, “Go and get the thing I’ve prepared.”

Aqiu acknowledged and quickly walked out.

“Aqiu ntioned that your health has been poor recently, what did the doctor say?” Jian Qing asked.

“It’s nothing serious, just a minor cold. Aging cos with its ailnts,” the elder An waved his hand dismissively, his voice hoarse.

Jian Qing looked at the old man’s graying hair and noticed that his full-cheeked face had grown even more sallow since the last ti she saw him, with visible veins on his forehead.

At that mont, she suddenly felt that the old man in front of her could pass on at any mont, a bitter sensation welled up in her heart.

Just then, Aqiu ca back holding a box, with a docunt bag in his other hand.

“Master!”

The elder An reached over to take the red brocade box, opened it in front of Jian Qing, a streak of golden light reflected in her eyes.

“Qing, this is an amulet of safety I am giving to your child.” He caressed the golden lock in the box, then handed it over to Jian Qing.

Jian Qing extended her hand to take it, looking down at the glittering gold lock in the box, her eyes misted over.

“Thank you!” She whispered.

The elder An chuckled, then he extended the docunt bag to Jian Qing, “And this docunt, consider it a token of my compensation to you and your brother.”

Jian Qing glanced at the docunt he handed out, guessing what could have been in it, she closed the box but did not extend her hand to take it.

“I’ll accept the lock, but I can’t accept this docunt.”

The elder An retracted his hand, the brightness in his eyes dimming slightly,”Qing, I know I might not receive your forgiveness in this lifeti, I dare not ask for more. This is just a token from , if you don’t want it, consider it a small gift for your unborn child.”

Jian Qing raised her eyes to et his, catching the shimr of hope in his gaze, remained silent for a while and then said slowly, “Take good care of your health, you can give this to the child after its birth.”

Hearing this, the elder An’s face lit up, he looked at her incredulously, “Can I visit the child?”

He had assud she wouldn’t want him to see the child, but to his surprise, she suggested it herself.

“Yes.” Jian Qing nodded.

Receiving her confirmation, the elder An grinned from ear to ear, his previous wan and gloomy expression replaced with childlike joy.

“Can I visit you regularly?” He suppressed the smile on his face, asking cautiously.

Seeing his hopeful eyes, Jian Qing found it hard to refuse, and nodded again.

“Aqiu, keep these things safe, I’ll give them when the child is born.” The elder An handed the docunt to Aqiu with a grin, instructed him.

“Yes.”

Seeing the elder An’s complexion much more rosy than before, and overall more spirited, Aqiu felt that his decision to call Jian Qing was right.

Outside the door, a flutter of white skirts passed by.

An Yu ran back to her room, almost bumping into Zhou Qi and An Rong who were coming upstairs.

“Yuyu, why are you running so fast?” Zhou Qi was startled, almost knocked over.

“Grandma, aunt!” An Yu put on the brakes, called out.

An Rong, always suspicious, noticing An Yu’s panicked state, her eyes darkened, she probed, “Yuyu, did sothing happen?”

An Yu quickly glanced around, “Let’s talk in my room.”

Zhou Qi and An Rong were both mystified by her mysterious deanor, their curiosity piqued, they followed her to her room.

Once inside, An Yu imdiately shut the door.

“What’s going on, Yuyu?” Zhou Qi asked, puzzled.

“Grandma, Jian Qing is here.” An Yu replied.

“What, what is she here for?” The mont Zhou Qi heard Jian Qing’s na, her face turned sour, clearly displeased.

“It was grandfather who invited her over.” An Yu said in a small voice, “I overheard Jian Qing talking to grandfather just outside his room, it turns out that skank Jian Qing is pregnant.”

“Pregnant?” Zhou Qi was taken aback.

“Yes, and I saw Aqiu bring a brocade box and a docunt from grandfather’s study, grandfather had prepared an amulet of safety for Jian Qing’s child, I don’t know what’s in that docunt, but that’s to be given to her child too.” An Yu clenched her teeth, rembering the conversation she overheard from outside the door.

All the property of the An family to be left to Jian Qing and her child, it seed grandfather was being blatantly unfair.

Hearing this, Zhou Qi and An Rong both grew pale.

“Mom, do you think grandfather plans to leave all the property to Jian Qing and her brother?” An Rong asked.

Zhou Qi said, “I’m not sure, you know your grandfather, he never discusses these things with us.”

“That slut Jian Qing got Xiangxiang thrown in jail, while she herself roams free with a child in her belly, and now she wants to seize the An family’s property. She’s pushing her luck.” An Rong complained bitterly.

The thought of her own daughter still living that wretched life in prison made her grind her teeth in hatred for Jian Qing.

“Yuyu, did you hear what’s in the docunt?” Zhou Qi frowned, turning to An Yu.

An Yu shook her head, her face flushed with anger, “No, originally grandfather wanted to give it directly to Jian Qing, he said it was a compensation to her and her brother, but Jian Qing didn’t take it, then grandfather said he would give it to her child after it’s born.”

“Hmph, she wishes.” Zhou Qi snorted dismissively, “Why should her child be entitled to the An family’s property? The elder An is truly senile to leave everything to an ingrate.”

“Mom, what are you planning on doing? Are we just going to stand by and watch Jian Qing seize everything?” An Rong asked.

“I need to think this over carefully. Now that she’s pregnant, you should stay away from her, in case sothing happens to her at the An residence, then Quan Jingwu and Azhe will make trouble for us.” Zhou Qi warned.

The relationship between her and her son Azhe was already tense, if this calamitous star, Jian Qing, were to befall any mishap, it shouldn’t happen in the An family residence to avoid implicating them.

“I understand.” An Rong replied resentfully.

“Alright, co with .” Zhou Qi opened the door and walked out, An Rong quickly followed.
