Until ng Jin walked away, Tang Yue finally ca to her senses and asked, "Sister An Yu, who was that?"
ng Jin, dressed in a white shirt, carried an air of deanor whether while walking or talking. His face bore the authority of soone long accustod to being in a high position. His face looked sowhat familiar to Tang Yue, yet she couldn’t quite place him.
What shocked Tang Yue the most was ng Jin’s temples frosted with white hair. He didn’t appear to be very old, so why had his hair turned so white?
"Uncle ng, he is the nominal father of ng Yanzhi, and he manages all the chanical research and developnt for the ng Family," explained Qin Anyu earnestly. "Xiao Yue, you don’t have to worry now. With Uncle ng’s influence, ng Yanzhi won’t dare to touch you."
"How old is he then?" Tang Yue couldn’t help but ask.
"In his forties, I believe," Qin Anyu wasn’t quite sure, only knowing he was about the sa age as her father. She added, "You’re asking about his white hair, aren’t you? Actually, Uncle ng has had a very tough life these years."
"Ah," whenever Qin Anyu ntioned ng Jin, especially when she was with Tang Yue, Qin Anyu found it difficult to keep her thoughts to herself.
Qin Anyu led Tang Yue back to her room, where a small table was set up on the spacious balcony with pastries and tea.
"Xiao Yue, Uncle ng is truly a man of deep affection," Qin Anyu opened up, unable to keep her thoughts hidden any longer. She continued, "I heard from my parents that Uncle ng had a wife, but they were separated during the war. For so many years, Uncle ng has been searching for his wife."
"And ng Yanzhi..." Tang Yue asked tily.
Qin Anyu sighed, "After searching for several years with no news, Uncle ng’s state hasn’t been good. Grandpa ng, fearing for his well-being, adopted a child from a different branch of the ng family, and that was ng Yanzhi, under ng Shuhan’s na."
"All these years have gone by in the blink of an eye," Qin Anyu tried hard to recall. She said, "Actually, everyone is guessing whether Uncle ng’s wife might already be no more, but Uncle ng doesn’t believe that. He still sends people to search for her every year."
"In that era, it wouldn’t have been easy for a woman to survive, right?" Tang Yue felt a sigh in her heart. To search for that slim glimr of hope for over twenty years, how deeply must he have loved his wife?
ng Jin, in his pristine white shirt and frosty white hair at his temples, along with his authoritative and sowhat familiar face, always stirred an indescribable emotion in Tang Yue’s heart.
Such a devoted man, what kind of adopted son had he raised...
"Are you thinking about ng Yanzhi?" Qin Anyu seed to read Tang Yue’s mind. She explained, "Actually, ng Yanzhi was only nominally adopted under Uncle ng’s na. In reality, it was Grandpa ng who raised him. I rember it seems when ng Yanzhi was about four or five years old, Uncle ng started managing the chanical research and developnt, and over these years, he would only co back once or twice a year."
Tang Yue: "..."
"ng Yanzhi, ever since he was young, has been like a little overlord. And isn’t that because Grandpa ng doted on him and always had his back?" Qin Anyu didn’t like ng Yanzhi; she never had much affection for him since childhood.
"Let’s not talk about this anymore." Qin Anyu was about to change the subject when suddenly she spotted a car entering—it was the Chu Family’s.
Qin Anyu pulled Tang Yue and headed inside the house.
"Isn’t that Chu Xuan?" Tang Yue keenly noted.
"Yes," Qin Anyu nodded. The car parked outside the courtyard, and Chu Xuan, dressed neatly, ca over. Grandpa Qin had just woken up from his afternoon nap and was very enthusiastic in welcoming Chu Xuan inside.
Qin Anyu secretly moved to the staircase, listening to the conversation between Chu Xuan and Grandpa Qin in the living room.
It was generally about the marriage arrangent between the two families.
Yesterday, Qin Anhao told her not to worry about the marriage arrangent, and today, Chu Xuan ca, which made Qin Anyu extrely curious.
The distance was a bit far, Qin Anyu couldn’t hear clearly, and moreover, she didn’t dare to move closer, vaguely seeing that Grandpa Qin’s complexion wasn’t good.
She didn’t realize it until she looked—that not only Chu Xuan ca, but Chu Xuan’s parents ca as well.
Grandpa Qin had a stern face, and had not spoken a word.
With a loud "snap" sound.
Qin Anyu was greatly startled, and Tang Yue, standing by the side, also felt a chill in her heart.
"Chu Shisong, that marriage arrangent from the beginning was not a joke between our two families. It couldn’t be taken lightly. My Little Yu has long said she wouldn’t marry Chu Xuan. It was your Chu Xuan who was desperately wanting to marry Little Yu, and now he cos eagerly asking to call off the marriage arrangent?" Grandpa Qin’s voice was very loud, so loud that Qin Anyu could hear him clearly.
"Uncle Qin, I’m sorry." Chu Shisong, who is Chu Xuan’s father, kept bowing and apologizing.
Grandpa Qin stood straight with his lean body and said, "Chu Shisong, you all go back. Whom your Chu Family marries as a daughter-in-law has nothing to do with ."
Although Grandpa Qin didn’t curse anyone, his attitude made the Chu Family feel it might have been better to be scolded.
After the Chu Family left Qin An, Chu Shisong with a grim face said, "Chu Xuan, you have got the marriage, but from now on, don’t co to Jin City again."
"Yes." Chu Xuan responded with his head lowered.
Qin Anyu quietly went downstairs, looking at Grandpa Qin’s lonely silhouette. Qin Anyu went forward and held Grandpa Qin’s hand, saying, "Grandpa, I didn’t want to marry Chu Xuan to begin with, isn’t it good that they are now proposing to call off the marriage themselves?"
Although the engagent wasn’t celebrated with grand festivities initially, everyone in the courtyard knew about the marriage arrangent between the Chu and Qin families.
Over the years, Qin Anyu and Chu Xuan rarely t, they didn’t mutter face to face, but behind the scenes, there certainly were whispers.
"Sigh." Grandpa Qin gently stroked Qin Anyu’s silky hair, saying, "Little Yu, you are so good, it is their Chu Family who isn’t fortunate enough."
"Exactly." Qin Anyu, looking up with a smile blossoming on her face, said, "Grandpa, you are absolutely right, in the future, I’ll find soone a hundred tis better than Chu Xuan."
Standing on the staircase, Tang Yue looked at the pair, suddenly feeling very sympathetic towards Sister An Yu. Sister An Yu was gentle in nature, not at all arrogant or unreasonable, and was also attractive. Chu Xuan looked decent, but his actions did not match up to his appearance at all.
What kind of man would be worthy of Sister An Yu?
Tang Yue tilted her head, thinking, and after returning to the convoy, she spoke about the matter.
Mo Siyu was silent for a while before saying, "Qin Anyu not marrying Chu Xuan is the right decision."
"Is there so kind of insider story?" Tang Yue looked at Mo Siyu gossip-hungry, his deep dark eyes seemingly hiding so incredible secret.
"There is an insider story, but it’s better for you not to know." Mo Siyu tenderly kissed her forehead.
Tang Yue, with her hands on his chest, creating a distance between them, insisted, "I want to know."
