Qin Yu looked at Xue An with some nervousness.
Xue An nodded, “Yes, I can!”
Qin Yu was overjoyed, “Then, I will come to fetch you after three days.”
The reason Xue An agreed was that he felt the Qin Family was not too bad. Seeing as he currently had nothing else to do, he took it as giving a favor with the tide.
“However, you mentioned this auction, is there anything special about it?” Xue
An asked.
Qin Yu shook his head, “Every year, our Beijiang businessman association organizes several auctions at irregular intervals, and the proceeds are all donated. This time is no different, so there is nothing special about it. Do you mean, Mr. Xue…”
“The person who acted against your grandfather may not have a high cultivation level, but he is at least a cultivator. Since he plans to attend this auction, there must be something that attracts him.”
Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows, “Then I will go back and investigate thoroughly!”
“No need for that, we will see what happens when the time comes,” Xue An said calmly.
Watching Xue An, who didn’t seem to take the matter seriously, Qin Yu felt a bit worried inside.
Qin Yu had personally witnessed Xue An’s medical skills and had no doubts about them.
But if the other party was someone who possessed secret techniques and Xue An could not overcome him, the consequences would be…
What Qin Yu hadn’t told Xue An was that the Longtai Group had now effectively become Qin Tian’s property.
Many people now only knew of Qin Tian and were unaware of Qin Yuan.
It all started because Qin Yuan neglected the management over the past year and was busy seeking treatment for his illness. By the time he had finally recovered thanks to Xue An, he found that he had lost control of Longtai Group.
Therefore, if they couldn’t defeat Qin Tian this time, then Qin Yuan and his grandson would both face a great crisis.
Qin Yu had always been deeply concerned about this.
After thanking Xue An, he hastily left.
Xue An turned to look at his two daughters, “Xiang Xiang, Nian Nian, have you eaten enough?”
Xiang Nian was the first to shake her head, “No, Daddy, I think the food here tastes awful!”
Xue Xiang also said, “Daddy, I’m not full either.”
“Alright, how about I take you guys somewhere else to eat?”
“Yes, yes!” Xiang Nian nodded eagerly like a little chick pecking at grains. Whenever food was mentioned, this little girl’s eyes would light up.
Xue An then turned towards Fan Mengxue.
Fan Mengxue had been staring at Xue An since a while back, especially when Qin Yu appeared, her sense of crisis intensified.
This girl had an outstanding appearance, but more importantly, her family background was far superior to her own.
After all, the Longtai Group was a well-known leading enterprise in the province, with annual taxes amounting to over a hundred billion.
This made Fan Mengxue feel deep-seated inferiority.
She thought that her four years of efforts would have allowed her to get a bit closer to Xue An, but she found that the distance had become even greater.
Xue An smiled faintly, “I’m sorry, it seems like I’ve messed up your birthday banquet!”
Fan Mengxue shook her head, “If it weren’t for coming back to see you, I wouldn’t have attended this so-called birthday banquet at all!”
“Let’s go! I’ll take you to have a feast!”
This was a small restaurant located in a residential area.
Although the front was narrow, it was very clean and tidy.
It was already past nine in the evening, and there weren’t many customers left.
Old Xie was preparing to clean up the utensils; it was almost time to close for the night.
At that moment, the door was pushed open, and a line of people came in one after another.
Leading the group was a man with a smile on his lips.
The man stood tall and straight, his sword-like eyebrows sitting above a pair of eyes that sparkled like stars, compelling those who saw him to feel an urge to submit.
Old Xie was startled, faintly feeling that this man looked very familiar.
Following behind the man were two little girls, each carved as if from pink jade.
The girls were extremely adorable, and strikingly identical to each other.
By this time, the people eating in the restaurant had also noticed this tableau.
Just as Old Xie was about to speak, two more women walked in.
The arrival of these two women quieted the already noisy restaurant.
One of them was dressed in a flowing gown, her features delicate and refined, exuding the grace of a secluded orchid in a deep valley.
The other, even though she wore a mask, had such picturesque brows and eyes, and a svelte figure, one could imagine she was definitely a stunning beauty.
Old Xie was so dazzled he nearly lost his wits.
At that moment, Xue An offered a small smile, “Uncle Xie, don’t you recognize
Old Xie shuddered, that voice… so familiar!
“You… you are…?” “It’s me, Xue An!”
Xue An!
Old Xie was at first incredulous, but after studying the man closely for a moment, he shouted with immense joy, “Xiao An, is it really you?” Xue An nodded.
Old Xie joyously bellowed, “Wife, come out and see who’s back!”
Auntie Pang, Old Xie’s spouse, was over fifty years old this year, busy in the kitchen. Hearing Old Xie’s call, she came out.
“Who is it, making all that noise!”
“Xiao An, it’s Xiao An who’s back!” Old Xie said gleefully.
Auntie Pang looked at Xue An, first startled, then in disbelief, “You… really are Xiao An?”
Xue An felt a warm current flowing in his heart as he looked at the couple.
In the days when he and An Yan were struggling the most, they barely had enough food to eat daily.
Xue An would go to a nearby construction site to do odd jobs, and when it came time for lunch, he didn’t even have the money to pay for it.
It was this couple that ran the small eatery who noticed Xue An’s plight and offered him help without any reservation.
Although it was just a few meals, Xue An remembered them deeply.
As Xue An came more often, his relationship with the couple grew closer.
When they found out that there was a pregnant woman expecting at Xue An’s home, Auntie Pang felt sympathy for him. She would often pack up some eggs from her country home to give to Xue An to take back for An Yan to nourish herself.
Xue An remembered all these little things.
Xue An nodded at Auntie Pang, then smiled, “Auntie Pang, it’s me, Xiao An!”
Auntie Pang’s tears fell, and she stepped forward to grab Xue An’s shoulders, “Xiao An, where have you been these four years! Your Uncle Xie and I have been looking for you for so long, many people said you were no longer here, but I always felt, such a good child like you, heaven would definitely bless you!”
(Heaven: Auntie Pang, you’re making me laugh, I bless him? I’m just lucky if he doesn’t beat me up! The guy’s an Immortal Venerable!)
Xue An had cultivated for three thousand years. his Dao heart firm as a rock. but at this moment, he couldn’t help but feel touched.
“Auntie Pang, haven’t I come back?”
“It’s good you’re back, good that you’re back! Silly old man, what are you grinning for? Go set the table! And then close the restaurant; Xiao An has come home, we need to celebrate properly!”
“Yes! Yes!” Old Xie hastily agreed.
Xue An couldn’t help but smile, it seemed nothing had changed, Old Xie had no status in the house, everything was decided by Auntie Pang..
