Chapter 876: 862, Refusing to Say Anything (1) Chapter 876: 862, Refusing to Say Anything (1) “Great-grandfather, once you’re feeling better, you can come live with us at Shijin Haoting, so you can see Seventeen and Nineteen more often,” Jian Luo suggested, watching An Family’s elder hold onto the hands of the two little treasures without letting go.

Staying at the An Family residence had resulted in him being poisoned and harmed; it might be safer to live with them. At least those who wished to harm him wouldn’t have the opportunity to succeed again.

Upon hearing this, the old man’s eyes brightened, “Is that possible?”

As long as he could see them and the two little treasures frequently, he was willing to live anywhere.

“Of course, the house my dad has at Shijin Haoting has always been empty. It would be nice if you and Uncle Aqiu moved in,” Jian Luo said, “And during this time, my dad will also be staying in Beijing regularly.”

Before the elder could respond, other members of the An Family expressed their discontent, with Zhou Qi taking the lead, “No, I disagree. The elder is well-settled in the old mansion, why should he move to Shijin Haoting? Also, if he moves there, it won’t be convenient for us to visit him. Living outside, no one will be able to take care of the elder properly. What if something goes wrong, can you bear that responsibility?”

The elder had always been biased towards them, and if he really moved in with them, who knew what bad things they would whisper in his ear. What place would the An Family have then? Sooner or later, Jian Qing and her brother would swallow them whole.

“I don’t think it’s up to you to decide whether it’s possible or not, it’s all up to great-grandfather’s willingness,” Jian Luo said, her gaze sweeping over them indifferently.

“Grandpa, do you want to live with us?” Mo Xiao ignored the displeased faces of Zhou Qi and the others, looking to the elder for his answer.

The other members of the An Family also turned to look at the elder, their gazes tense.

“Of course I do,” the elder replied without hesitation, his eyes shifting to the two little treasures with a touch of a smile.

“Dad, but if you move out, we won’t be able to take care of you. Maybe you should consider it more carefully,” Zhou Qi persisted, as if to suggest she was thinking more about the elder’s wellbeing.

“Azhe and the others will take care of me,” the elder replied coolly.

Zhou Qi was choked up, seeing the elder play with Jian Qing’s children and unable to swallow the frustration that was stuck in her throat.

Perhaps because he had just woken up, the elder played with the two little treasures for a while but soon became tired, his raspy voice gradually weakening.

Jian Qing watched from the side, picked up the two little treasures, handed them to Quan Jingwu, then tucked the elder in, “Great-grandfather, rest for now. We’ll bring Seventeen to see you again tomorrow.”

The elder agreed and finally closed his heavy eyelids.

“You all can go back first. We’ll take care of grandfather,” Mo Xiao told Zhou Qi and her group, his expression cold.

“Let’s go,” An Zhonghui said, knowing that Mo Xiao was very upset about the elder’s poisoning. It was better to leave and avoid any conflict with Zhou Qi and the others.

“Dad, it’s time for Seventeen and the others to eat, we’ll be going now,” Jian Qing said, holding Nineteen, her cool voice softening slightly.

“Hmm.”

Quan Jingwu and Jian Qing left with the two little treasures, followed by Zhou Qi and her group exiting the ward.

“Bang—”

The room’s door shut, and the elder’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

He looked up at Mo Xiao, his aged face showing some gravity, “Azhe, tell me honestly, what exactly is my condition right now?”

He knew his own body better than anyone else. Although he hadn’t been feeling well lately, it certainly wasn’t to the point of vomiting black blood.

Mo Xiao pulled a chair over and sat down, frowning, “Grandfather, please don’t get too agitated. The doctor has checked you, and the reason you coughed up blood and fainted is that someone poisoned your food.”

Upon hearing this, the elder was shocked, his face showing disbelief.

“Great-grandfather, have you eaten anything unusual these past few days?” Jian Luo asked in a low voice, sitting beside the bed.

Old Master An looked at him, pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head, “My meals have always been managed by Aqiu, and recently I have been dining alone in my room.”

“Great-grandfather, please think carefully, besides your regular meals, are you sure you haven’t eaten anything else?” Jian Luo asked again.

Old Master An furrowed his brows, something else?

Suddenly, a flash of insight crossed his mind, “These past few days, Zhou Qi had the kitchen prepare some nourishing supplements for me.”

“Nourishing supplements?” Jian Luo’s gaze deepened.

“Grandfather, who has been at home these past few days?” Mo Xiao asked.

“Zhonghui, Zhou Qi, and Zhao Xuan.” These days, An Chong had been away on a business trip, and the siblings An Yun had only returned home occasionally.

“Azhe, are you suspecting that the person who poisoned me is a member of the family?”

Mo Xiao nodded, “The mansion’s security is rigorous, and your meals have always been overseen by Uncle Qiu. We have already investigated the kitchen staff and found nothing out of the ordinary…”

Old Master An understood what he meant before he could finish. The person who poisoned his food, if not someone from the kitchen, had to be someone from the family. Now that the kitchen staff had been ruled out, only the family remained.

However, what he never would have imagined was that someone in his own family could wish him dead, a notion both ludicrous and tragic.

He laughed mockingly, with a laughter that camouflaged his heartache and sorrow.

“Great-grandfather, leave this matter to us to investigate. You just focus on resting comfortably,” Jian Luo said, holding his hand with a soothing voice.

Old Master An hummed a response, feeling somewhat drained.

Alas, to fall victim to his own kin, what a tragedy!

Quan Family

In the dining room, Quan Jingwu and Jian Qing were having a meal while the two little treasures were being fed milk by Rhee and Old Madam Quan.

Suddenly, the phone on the table vibrated a few times.

Jian Qing stopped her chopsticks, reached out to pick up the phone, pressed the answer button, and narrowed her eyes when she heard what the person on the other end had said, a cold sharpness flashing deep within them.

“I understand. Notify the An Family, release the news, and someone should go inform An Man as well, remember to bring the photo over to her,” she ordered coldly.

Seeing her put down the phone, Quan Jingwu’s chopsticks paused, “What happened?”

“Xiaojing, have you found any news about An Man yet?” Jian Qing bypassed his question with another question.

“Since An Man was imprisoned, Zhao Xuan never visited her until recently. Shortly after Zhao Xuan suddenly visited her. After the visit, she took over from Zhou Qi the care of Xiang Cheng’s treatment,” Quan Jingwu said.

“Shen Hao has visited An Man, but she refuses to say anything.”

Upon hearing this, Jian Qing pursed her lips and said, “I’ve just received news that Xiang Cheng is dead.”

If the news of Xiang Cheng’s death reaches An Man’s ears, given An Man’s temperament, she will undoubtedly take out her anger on Zhao Xuan. Even if there were some unspeakable deals between them, it is likely that An Man will fall out with Zhao Xuan because of this.
