Monopolize My Mysterious Wife

Chapter 224 Pocket Watch (5)

In the study room, the atmosphere was silent.

Jian Qing and Jian Luo sat together, and Mrs. An sat facing them.

"Girl Qing, I -" Mrs. An's eyes drifted towards Jian Luo unconsciously, but he didn't know how to speak, so he turned to Jian Qing for help.

Before Jian Qing could speak, Jian Luo finally spoke, "Mr. An!"

In an instant, Mrs. An's heart clenched in pain. He looked at Jian Luo and met his eyes as he looked at the stranger. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Girl Qing called him like this, and now he calls him like this. Could it be that the two siblings really couldn't give him a chance to make up for them?

"Master Luo!" Qiu Bo couldn't bear to look at the sad look of Mrs. An, and looked at Jian Luo with a bit of pleading in his eyes.

Jian Luo raised his head and said casually, "Old man, I am not your young master. Don't call me the wrong person."

Qiu Bo looked at Jian Qing in embarrassment. He could see that Jian Luo listened to her words.

Jian Qing knew that her brother still had a knot in his heart, and did not intend to interfere with his thoughts. He could only pretend not to see Qiu Bo's pleading eyes.

"Luo'er, I know you are blaming me and complaining about me. It's normal for you to refuse to recognize me." Mrs. An sighed deeply and said in a hoarse voice.

Jian Luo's eyes were light and expressionless.

"Girl Qing, I have already talked to Chu Yan about the Chu family. This matter is the trouble caused by the Chu family. Naturally, they have to clean up the mess themselves. If you feel that you are still dissatisfied, you Just tell me, let Chu Ruohan come and apologize to you in person." Old Mrs. An turned to Jian Qing and said slowly.

Chu Yan?

The old man of the Chu family, Chu Ruohan’s grandfather?

Jian Qing raised her eyebrows lightly. She did not expect that Mrs. An would go to the Chu family to seek an explanation for her.

"Thank you, but I will handle this matter myself."

The atmosphere was tense again.

"Sister, it's getting late, we should go." Jian Luo said.

Hearing that he was leaving, Mrs. An became anxious.

I finally looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally the person came. How could I come and leave so soon?

"Girl Qing, it's hard to come here. How about you stay here for dinner tonight?"

He knew that as long as Jian Qing agreed to stay, Jian Luo would definitely stay too.

Jian Qing patted Jian Luo on the shoulder and motioned for him to wait.

He raised his eyes to look at Mr. An and said calmly, "It's not impossible for us to stay, but we want to hear a few truths from your mouth. Did my mother say anything to you back then? Or, Why did you choose to help my mother?"

After finishing his words, Jian Luo looked up at him, and both siblings looked at Mr. An.

"I..." Mrs. An choked, feeling horrified.

After thinking for a while, he choked out a sentence and said, "I won't be able to explain this clearly for a while. Please give me some time to think about it."

Jian Qing didn't expect to be able to pry the truth out of his mouth today, so she nodded lightly and said, "Okay, we'll come back when you think about it."

Jian Luo stood up and left with Jian Qing.

After the door closed, Mrs. An raised his hands to cover his face, and a sigh escaped from between his fingers.

"Sir, why don't you tell Miss Qing and them the truth? Maybe they will see that you helped Yun Xi and they will choose to settle their differences with you." Qiu Bo advised.

After pondering for a moment, Mrs. An put down his hand, and the wavering longing in his heart finally became firm, "Aqiu, call that bastard and tell him to come back a day early on the day of ancestor worship at home."

Since I can't hide it any more, I'll just talk about it openly. As for the consequences, I'll talk about it later.

Qiu Bo was stunned for a moment, then grinned and said, "Yes, I will do it later."

After leaving the study, Jian and Qing went downstairs and left without staying in the living room for a second.

Walking to the corridor, an unexpected guest came halfway.

An Chong looked at Jian Luo and Jian Qing with complicated eyes, a sense of betrayal and unwilling jealousy welling up in his chest.

Jian Luo looked at the man in front of him who outsiders thought was the father of their two siblings. However, hehe, I'm sorry, he didn't feel that the two siblings were similar to him.

"Second Master An, are you okay?" Jian Qing asked calmly.

An Chong stepped forward and looked at her with complicated eyes, "Jian Qing, logically speaking, you should call me father, right?"

"Ha!" Jian Qing's eyes turned cold, and a cold smile appeared on her lips, "An Chong, do you really think I'm that easy to deceive?"

"What do you mean?" An Chong looked ugly.

"Sorry, my mother said, you are not our father, so don't come here to have random relationships." Jian Qing sneered.

"Did your mother tell you this personally?" An Chong asked through gritted teeth.

"If you want to know, you have to give me something in exchange." Jian Qingqing looked deeply and said quietly.

An Chong said solemnly, "What do you want?"

"Give me back my mother's pocket watch." Jian Qing said coldly.

An Chong's face froze for a moment, "Pocket watch?"

Jian and Qing's eyes were fixed on the slightest change in the expression on his face, and they saw that he didn't look like he was pretending, as if he really didn't know about the existence of the pocket watch.

"What pocket watch?" An Chong asked.

Jian Qing nodded lightly towards Jian Luo, and then said quietly, "Since you don't know, forget it, the deal just now is void."

After saying that, Jian Qing and the others bypassed An Chong and left directly.

An Chong watched the two people get into the car and leave with deep eyes, the rising dust blurring his vision.

Pocket watch, what pocket watch?

He was very sure that he had never seen Yun Xi wearing a pocket watch. Why did Jian Qing suddenly ask him for her mother's pocket watch?
