CHAPTER 412: CHAPTER 412: FAREWELL (PART 2)

"What kind of reward is this?" Tang Yue covered her kissed face, with her almond-shaped eyes rounded in surprise. It was supposed to be a reward, so how did it end up being taking advantage?

"This reward seems a bit lacking," Mo Siyu said seriously, his deep gaze fixating on her lips.

Tang Yue quickly stepped back, saying, "Let’s talk about serious things."

"I am talking about serious things." Mo Siyu particularly enjoyed teasing her; every time he teased her until her cheeks turned red, her shy expression brought him an immense sense of joy.

*

Jing City, the Qin Family.

"Qin Anhao, you delay your trip to Jin City a bit longer!" Mr. Qin, trembling with his finger pointed at Qin Anhao, spoke with quivering lips, and his sunken eyes were filled with anger.

Mo Siyu had barely left, and Qin Anhao was about to go to Jin City.

"Grandfather, I am still young. Jin City needs me, and with my abilities, I can perform better there. Grandfather, don’t you want our fleet to grow bigger?" Qin Anhao kneeled upright in front of Mr. Qin, letting him berate him.

He had hidden this matter from Mr. Qin, afraid that he wouldn’t let him go.

Now that things were settled, Qin Anhao naturally admitted his mistake. By then, Mr. Qin would be helpless.

Mr. Qin was strict with him on normal days, but in the company, he never contradicted Qin Anhao.

"Grandfather, don’t be angry, take care of your health." Qin Anyu was busy patting Mr. Qin’s back, afraid that he would get angry, causing his blood pressure to spike, which could lead to health issues if not careful.

Qin Anyu secretly glared at Qin Anhao. He had kept this matter a secret from her as well.

"Grandfather." Just as Qin Anhao began to speak.

An ashtray was hurled towards him, landing right beside him, scattering ashes all over the floor.

"Qin Anhao, I want to hold my great-grandchild, what about it? Your parents have been gone for so many years, aren’t my only hopes you and Little Yu?" Mr. Qin looked at Qin Anhao and Little Yu, his grandson who had always been the most reliable to him, but unexpectedly, he was going to the southern fleet because of marriage pressure.

"Grandfather." Qin Anyu comforted Mr. Qin, gently patting his back. As soon as they mentioned the deceased parents, tears couldn’t help but well up in Qin Anyu’s eyes.

When their parents were around, how happy their family was.

Qin Anyu missed those times deeply. Even though her father was very strict and her mother somewhat nagging, so many years had passed and no one would call her Little Yu with such severity, nor would anyone nag at her for not acting like a girl anymore.

Qin Anhao lowered his head and said, "Grandfather, there will be a great-grandchild." But not now.

He couldn’t just casually find a girl to marry; that would be irresponsible towards others.

Mr. Qin stared intently at Qin Anhao, took a deep breath, and asked, "When did you start having this idea?"

If he hadn’t had this idea all along, he wouldn’t have been so familiar with Jin City. Not to mention, the words Qin Anhao had previously spoken were very well-reasoned; it was clear he had had this plan for a while.

Qin Anhao had all the plans for the motorcade in Jin City ready, the land had been purchased, and the house was ready. The trucks could just drive over. He had completed all the preliminary work before he informed his grandfather.

Qin Anhao said with his head lowered, "Since the first day I joined the company."

It was in Jin City where his parents had died.

His parents had lived in Jin City for quite some time. Qin Anhao wanted to go there, to live in the place his parents once lived, to feel their presence.

Now, his parents’ house was still there in Jin City, with someone cleaning it every week, spotlessly clean, as if it were a home that had never been left vacant.

Upon hearing this, Qin Anyu fell silent instantly. She was planning to persuade Qin Anhao earlier, but now, Qin Anyu decided not to.

If he had wanted to go to Jin City since the first day he joined the company, then why didn’t he do so over all these years? Was it related to her?

Their grandfather was getting on in years, and she...

As Qin Anyu thought, tears began to swirl in her eyes.

Mr. Qin also fell silent, and he turned his back, looking into the living room. The portraits of his son and daughter-in-law were displayed there; they both looked so young and happy in the pictures, as if nothing had changed.

"When will you leave?" Mr. Qin’s voice sounded much older all of a sudden, his silhouette lonely and desolate.

"Tomorrow morning," Qin Anhao said, suppressing his unwillingness to part. He was extremely reluctant to leave his grandfather and sister, but he felt uneasy without trying to forge his own path before he got married. He wanted to visit the place where his parents had lived their entire lives and wanted to build a career there.

The living room fell silent.

Mr. Qin stood with his hands behind his back, staring pensively at the portraits, before eventually walking toward the inside of the house.

Worried, Qin Anyu hurriedly followed and said, "Grandfather."

"Little Yu, don’t worry, I’m fine. I just... I just want to be alone for a while." As he said this, Mr. Qin shut the door, leaving Qin Anyu on the outside.

Qin Anyu hung her head, wiped away her tears, and headed back to the living room, only to see Qin Anhao still kneeling there, facing the direction of their parents’ portraits.

"Brother, I’ve held you back," Qin Anyu said, collapsing in front of Qin Anhao. She looked up and said, "Go to Jin City, brother. I will take good care of grandfather. You don’t have to worry about us, just take care of yourself."

As she spoke, Qin Anyu’s voice choked up more and more, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.

"Little Yu, you don’t have to feel guilty. I’m also going because I don’t want to get married yet." Qin Anhao used his sleeve to wipe her tears. The two siblings continued to converse, one kneeling, the other sitting on the ground, as he said, "Little Yu, the business you and Tang Yue are doing is going well, but don’t overexert yourself. Grandfather will eventually come around after a while."

"Mm-hmm," Qin Anyu nodded. Although the siblings were talking, their gaze remained on their parents’ portraits.

Qin Anhao continued, "As for the matter with Chu Xuan, you don’t have to bother about it anymore. Since you don’t want to be with him, you don’t need to have any relationship with the Chu Family in the future."

After saying that, he added, "Jiang Wei is pregnant with Chu Xuan’s child, and the Chu Family has already welcomed her into their home. However, Chu Xuan is no longer related to the succession of the Chu Family. Chu Hong..."

When mentioning Chu Hong, Qin Anhao paused, then continued, "No one would have expected Chu Hong, who used to cause trouble all the time, would inherit the Chu Family. Luckily, Chu Hong treats you like a sister, and he won’t trouble you. In the future, if there’s anything, you can seek Mo Siyu’s help, or you can call me."
