Chapter 985: 993 Really Addictive (4)
Huo Jinnan lifted his sleeve and glanced at his watch, it was only eight o’clock, "In an hour."
"..."
The old man sat there holding his cane. If Anan could share even a tenth of his love for Qin Huan with him, they wouldn’t have had the previous conflicts.
Thinking of himself, he seemed to be in a slightly better position than Huo Jinnan. Previously, he was just a bit biased and protective, but he cared about all his grandchildren, they were all in his heart!
Especially Anan, because of Adong’s incident, he always felt indebted to him. So, over the years, he paid a lot of attention to his feelings, took care of his emotions, and tried to ease his relationship with Jizhou and Ayun.
Except for that Dragon Boat Festival when things turned unpleasant because of Gu Yunqing. Anan had said, "If I die like my brother, would you have the same attitude?" In a fit of anger, he hit Anan with his cane, which Xiaowei saw, and since then, had been holding a grudge against him!
Anan moved out of the old house with Xiaowei.
From then on, he was very cautious when speaking with this grandson, being extraordinarily careful and respectful of his opinions.
Of course, if he could share half of the favoritism he had for Ayun and Jizhou with Anan, despite the estrangement due to Adong’s matter, things wouldn’t be as tense as they are now.
But over the years, in his heart, Anan has been mature and rational, not needing him.
As for Jizhou and Ayun...
Thinking of those two, and the recent findings from Uncle Guan’s investigation, his heart grew colder by the moment!
Huo Jinnan lit a cigarette, took a puff, picked up the remote in front of the old man, and switched from the news channel the old man was watching to the finance channel.
The old man put down his cup, turned his head, and stared at Huo Jinnan several times.
Huo Jinnan sat there, staring straight at the TV screen.
The old man quelled the sudden rise of anger in his heart, and extinguished it, "By the way, how are Shen You and Yu Zimu doing?"
Huo Jinnan looked sideways at the old man.
That look————
The old man remembered that these issues were derived from the contract, feeling guilty, he coughed, "I heard Shen You was quite seriously injured."
"..."
Huo Jinnan ignored the old man, turned his gaze away, and continued watching TV.
The old man sat there, taking deep breaths, repeatedly telling himself to remain calm, calm, and calm again.
Back then, he never tolerated Jizhou and Ayun like this; he would reprimand them whenever needed and hit them when necessary!
But in the end, they became more and more out of line!
Thinking back now, Adong and Ayun were both indulged by him as they grew up, yet they turned out completely different. It’s not entirely his fault, as he’s never been one to overindulge; maybe it’s just that the roots were crooked?
———————— Yunqi Academy ————————
When Qin Huan came downstairs, he saw a strange scene in the living room, with only the old man and Huo Jinnan present.
One was watching TV, while the other was watching the person watching TV.
Seeing Qin Huan, Huo Jinnan’s gaze fell on him, "Did you sleep well?"
Qin Huan smiled and nodded.
The old man sat beside them, feeling slightly sour inside.
He turned his head to Uncle Guan, "Go, go and call the master and madam, have everyone come for breakfast."
Uncle Guan, "..."
The old man stood up, leaned on his cane, and was the first to enter the dining room.
Qin Huan looked at the old man’s back and, for the first time, felt that this old man wasn’t as detestable.
Huo Jinnan held Qin Huan’s hand and entered the dining room.
The old man sat on one side, coldly watching as Huo Jinnan helped Qin Huan with his chair.
