"You can only blame yourself for this. Serves you right!" Old Man Teng had always been merciless when it came to his grandson.
Teng Yi Yang was upset.
Old Man Teng saw the dejected look on his face and added another stab to his wound.
"You probably don't know who just came to my house."
Seeing the old man's complacent look, Teng Yi Yang could guess the answer. He asked, "Who?"
"An An and Nightbreak Trickster."
"Today, I called her and told her to bring Sleeping Bao over to our house for a chat. She came over at noon and we had lunch and dinner together. I have to say, she taught the child well. I have never seen such a sensible child. Grandfather dares to say that out of all the children of your generation, none have been as smart or as polite as him. "
"He really is a child of our Teng Jia Village. He looks good and has a good temperament."
Teng Yiyang waited for the old man to finish speaking before asking impatiently, "Then why didn't you tell me?" He had been bitterly waiting at the entrance of the residential complex for several hours.
Uncle Liu touched his nose, "Young Master, it's not that we didn't notify you, but your phone was always out of contact. You can't blame us for this."
When Teng Yiyang heard this, he recalled that he had been afraid that the old mansion would call to urge him to go home, so he temporarily had his number blacklisted.
He scratched his head.
"Grandfather, did you tell An An today?"
He didn't reply for a long time, only then did he realize that the old man was ignoring him. He was looking through his reading glasses on his phone.
Why are you so engrossed in it?
He walked to the sofa at the side of the old man and sat down. Glancing at the picture of the old man and the young on the screen, he was rather surprised and could not help but watch with fascination.
Her fair and tender face and her strange demeanor made her look really adorable.
Old Man Teng said proudly, "You are truly worthy of being a child of our Teng Clan. You are just good-looking and smart!"
Teng Yi smirked, "Then let's see who gave birth to it!"
With these words, the old tutor was treated like a chestnut.
He grimaced in pain.
Old Man Teng snappily replied, "So useless! I think this kid is more like An'an. Luckily, he's not as brazen as you. He jumps up and down, always causing trouble. "
He didn't care. "Anyway, the child is mine, just like anyone else."
Old Man Teng chuckled, "Then you still have to see if they recognize you as their father! If I remember correctly, An An never had the thought of recombining with you. "
That hit the nail on the head.
"Grandpa, did you talk to An An today about me?"
Old Man Teng narrowed his eyes, "Every time I talk about you, An An An will change the topic. Does grandpa still have the nerve to mention you?" You've done so many wrong things back then, and you still hope that An An will be able to turn back? The reason why I am able to speak to you peacefully now is all because I have a good temperament. "
"Grandfather!" Teng Yiyang was repeatedly stabbed to death.
Old Man Teng didn't pity him in the slightest. Instead, he added an even stronger force to the blow, "Do you think that your grandfather is too old and doesn't know anything?"
"You clearly know the reason why An'an left back then. If it weren't for Sleeping Treasure's fact that he is now alive and well, you wouldn't be able to sit tight today. Grandfather would even have the heart to skin you alive."
"Grandpa …" Teng Yiyang's voice was weak.
He had never been able to forgive himself for this.
This was exactly what Lin Chen had said. If he had known earlier, why would he have done so?
The back of his hand was covered in flesh. When he learned of the things that An Xin had experienced, Old Man Teng had the urge to grab that stinking brat and hang him for beating. However, when he saw the kid's soulless appearance, he knew that the punishment he had received over the past four years had taught him a lesson.
"I've scouted An Xin for you today. Her attitude is very firm, and she won't reunite with you."
"Kid, you still have more to grind!"
Old Master Teng left the living room and went for a walk in the courtyard to digest his food, leaving Teng Yiyang to reflect on his own.
He was half lying on the sofa, his mind full of what his grandfather had just said.
Even if she had two sons, she would still be so heartless, not giving them any leeway?
No —
He sat up abruptly, and with Sleeping Treasure there was room for him and her.
Back at the house, Ji Anan was bathing Nightbreak Trickster. After a day of playing around, his entire body was covered in sweat.
After taking a bath, she picked up the clothes that were mostly wet, and also took a bath.
When she came out of the bathroom, she felt refreshed.
"Mommy, come quickly and take a look at my new jigsaw puzzle."
This was given to him by Grandpa Teng. He didn't expect that he would have already given it his all while she was out taking a bath. She touched her son's head and praised, "My Sleeping Treasure is awesome!"
Encouraged, Nightingale took another one and continued assembling it.
He looked at his son who was working hard. His chubby face turned to the side, but there was still the shadow of that person.
She couldn't help but think of what Grandpa Teng had asked her in the garden today.
"An An, everyone makes mistakes. Yi Yang has done something wrong, but now he has repented. Can you really not give this old man another chance?"
Every time she mentioned Teng Yiyang, his tone became more sincere. The older a person was, the more he would look like an old naughty kid and not give up until he had achieved his goal. He would even make her not know how to answer his questions.
She believed that if there was a next time, he would still ask.
However, there were times when people made mistakes and there was a chance for them to be forgiven, but there were also times when they were unforgivable.
Her gaze fell on Sleeping Treasure. Now that this healthy and healthy child had grown up, that was the reason why she couldn't forgive him.
There are some things you can bet on, but there are some people you can't bet on for the rest of your life.
At this time, Sleeping Bao was deep in thought, so he didn't notice Mommy's reddened eyes as she got up to make a phone call.
Ji Anan explained the progress of the adaptation of the comic book to Yao Ruo, then suggested some ideas.
"I feel like I'm no longer needed here. I plan to go back and not stay here any longer."
Yao Ruo agreed, "Alright, I'll communicate with the Chen Yin Cartoon Association tomorrow. If you don't need to participate, you can end your work here and return home to draw your picture."
After thanking him, Ji An put away the line.
He really hoped that he could finish his work in a few days and head straight back to B City.
Grandpa Teng didn't care about her taking the child with her and had always wanted to seduce her and Teng Yiyang. The situation was bad, and she didn't want any unnecessary trouble. Leaving here was the best solution.
After calming herself down, she returned to continue accompanying the sleep treasure jigsaw puzzle.
The next day, Ji An received a call from Xie Langxuan.
"Morning. I didn't disturb your breakfast, did I?"
"Even if you're eating, you still have to answer the call from the big boss."
"As if I'm a landowner," Xie Langxuan laughed heartily, and then his voice turned serious as he asked, "I called you so early because I have something I want to ask you. Liu Kuan told me this morning that you plan to quit, is this true?"
"Right, does the boss agree?" she asked with a smile.
