Monopolize My Mysterious Wife

Chapter 25: Chapter 25 She Hates Me_1 Chapter 25: Chapter 25 She Hates Me_1 “An Yun, whether you like Jian Qing or not, she is my publicly acknowledged great-granddaughter and the bloodline of our An family. If you can’t be kind to her, at least don’t bother her. Otherwise, if I find out, I will punish you by our family’s old laws and you will never be allowed to return to the old mansion.” The old Master An got very angry this time and even took out the long unused family law.

These words left everyone with mixed feelings. Their chests were churning with the emotion of unwillingness and jealousy, while An Yu was incredulously looking at the old Master An.

For a Jian Qing, the old Master laid down such harsh words to them, which really chilled their hearts.

An Zhonghui didn’t expect the old master to say such things, and the image of Jian Qing flashed through his mind.

Did that girl really win his father’s heart?

Even for her, he could drive out An Yun and the others who were legitimate and rightful great-grandchildren from the old mansion, was it really worth it?

Zhou Qi was dissatisfied with the old master’s favoritism and took a step forward, “Father, although Xiang Cheng was wrong this time, Jian Qing shouldn’t have been so cruel and Yun’er and the others didn’t do anything wrong.”

“Shut your mouth.” The old Master An was still angry and said coldly.

Feeling humiliated, Zhou Qi tightened her face. Under her father-in-law’s sharp gaze, she remained silent.

An Yun and An Yu, the brother and sister, looked down and didn’t speak. Their hands hanging by their sides clenched into fists, and even though they didn’t want to, they had to suppress their feelings.

Zhao Xuan listened to the old Master An’s words, and a sour feeling rose up in her heart. Did her pair of children really not compare to a Jian Qing?

What qualification did the daughter of that lowly woman have to compare with her children?

“An Man, this time the trouble was caused by Xiang Cheng. He must bear it himself, and is not allowed to bother Jian Qing again.” The old master An looked at An Man. He knew that this granddaughter of his always valued Xiang Cheng more than her own life. But even so, he would not allow her to trouble Jian Qing. After all, it was what they owed that girl.

An Man hesitated a bit, “I understand.”

“Master, it’s time for you to rest.” Aqiu came forward and reminded him.

Aqiu brought over the wheelchair, helped him sit down, and slowly pushed it towards the elevator.

As soon as the elevator doors closed, Zhao Xuan immediately went to help her children, “Yunyun, Yuyu, get up.”

An Yun’s face was torn with complexity, not knowing what he was thinking about.

An Yu was unhappy, her eyes were slightly red, and she couldn’t help but complain to Zhao Xuan, “Mommy, how could Grandpa do this, just for a Jian Qing, why should she compare to us.”

Zhao Xuan patted her own daughter’s back, her voice gentle, “Yuyu, Grandpa was just angry. What he said was not true, don’t be upset. How could Jian Qing compare to you, you are the legitimate children of the An family.”

An Chong frowned, bowed his head thinking about something, not paying attention to Zhao Xuan’s words.

The brightly lit living room was depressing. Nobody was likely to sleep well that night.

…

Back in his room, the old master An still sat in his wheelchair, facing the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the mansion under the starlight, shrouded in a sad atmosphere.

Aqiu entered the room to see him like this, and the old man’s solitary and lonely figure made his heart sigh.

“Master, here is your calming tea.”

Without reaching out to take the cup of tea, the old Master An’s hoarse voice rang out, “Aqiu, do you think I was wrong? If I had gone there earlier back then, would everything be different?”

If he had not been so soft-hearted then, had not turned a blind eye to their actions, his little girl would still be calling him grandpa, still be affectionately clinging to him.

Having served him for many years, Aqiu deeply knew that he only needed to play the role of a listener at this moment. Holding the cup of tea, he stood quietly there.

After seventeen years, who was right and who was wrong, who was innocent and who was to blame, has long been unclear.

The old Master An continued talking to himself, sorrow in his eyes, “What do you think, will I live long enough to hear that girl call me grandpa again? Does she still want to call me grandpa?”

“Master, you… ” Why are you making it so hard for yourself?

Aqiu couldn’t bear it and looked away. Wasn’t seventeen years of guilt and punishment enough?

The old Master An laughed quietly, and then laughed out loud. His laughter was filled with endless desolation and regret.

“No more, she won’t call me grandpa anymore!” Saying so, a gleam of tears appeared in the corner of his eyes.

“She hates me, that girl hates me–”
At this moment, he was just an old man, an old man longing for his great-granddaughter, not the respected old Master An.

Aqiu worriedly looked at the old Master An, but didn’t say anything to comfort him, because he knew it would be useless.

A heart suffering from pain needs heart medicine to be cured, and problems have to be solved by those who created them!

As the moon rose over the trees, the soft moonlight poured into the room, illuminating the cold and lonely space.

…

Ever since the incident at the Qianshi Restaurant, Jian Qing’s name has spread in the circle, and Xiang Cheng has become the topic of everyone’s post-dinner chats. Those who had been bullied by Xiang Cheng felt very satisfied, and they were even more fond of Jian Qing, whom they had yet to meet.

Unknown whether it was the effect of the old Master An’s words, but the An family had been very quiet these past few days. Even An Man didn’t bother Jian Qing. The couple was busy finding doctors for Xiang Cheng, hoping to cure his hand.

Jian Qing didn’t care about anything that happened outside. She enjoyed her free time at home. Apart from going out for morning exercises, she mostly stayed at home.

The fresh air of the suburbs was incomparable on a summer morning. A large lush woodland surrounded Shijin Haoting. Looking at it, it made one feel a bit relaxed.

Jian Qing took her camera with her early in the morning. Ever since she moved into Shijin Haoting, she would go to the lotus pond for exercise every day, staying for two hours each time. She was particularly fond of the lotus pond. Last night she had a sudden urge to capture the moment of a lotus flower slowly blooming, so she specifically woke up early today.

Jian Qing sat cross-legged on a rock by the lotus pond, her hand propping up her chin, radiating a lazy air. Her gaze was focused on the lotus pond, and her face was calm and peaceful.

She picked up her phone to check the time and saw that it was already past eight o’clock. The time for sleep lilies to bloom was typically from eight to ten.

Jian Qing sat up straight, her camera aimed at the lotus pond, ready to capture the moment of the sleep lily blooming at any time.

Accompanied by a faint fragrance, the closest lotus flower to her began to tremble, and the tender petals slowly unfolded, revealing its delicate yellow stamen.

Jian Qing quickly took several photos, the sound of “click, click” was particularly clear.

After casually browsing through the photos in her camera, Jian Qing curled her lips in satisfaction, stood up lazily and stretched, then jumped down from the rock lightly.

She was done for the day, time to go home for breakfast!

“Roar–”
She hadn’t taken two steps when she heard a roar, and she stopped in her tracks.
