A hearty laugh came from the hall. It was Elder Bei's voice.
"Grandpa, what are you laughing at?"
Although Old Man Bei was already close to seventy years old, he had a healthy body that didn't lose out in physical strength. When he was young, he was a soldier, carrying a spear, and his voice was loud and sonorous. "Lou Bao just said that when he grows up, he will carry this old man on his back and go climb the mountains."
It turned out that Elder Bei had said a few days ago that they wouldn't dare to let him climb the mountain because of the three thousand stairs. That was why he had given this answer.
"Sleeping Bao is so filial. He's much better than you bastards!" Old Madam Bei pointed at the two brothers and snorted.
Seeing his adorable son lying on his grandmother's lap, Ji Anan couldn't help but secretly laugh.
Bei Yiyuan was unconvinced, "Grandmother, how can we not have a filial piety? You can't be biased, and just say that we're not safe! "
Old Madam Bei rolled her eyes at him and said, "He, An An, calls every now and then to greet us warmly. But you? If it wasn't for that old woman calling you, you probably wouldn't have seen him at all!"
Bei Yiyuan laughed mischievously. "Girls are meticulous when it comes to their thoughts. When men like us work outside, we naturally have to be careless."
Old Madam Bei gave a harrumph, "Do you even have reason to!?"
Bei Yiheng looked away, not wanting to admit that this idiot was his biological brother.
Old man Bei often asked his two grandsons about the company, while Old Madam Bei called out to Ji An and his daughter.
She said that she had lost weight recently and needed to make up for it, so she called for Mama Zhang to cook a few more dishes and give them some nourishment.
It seemed as though in the eyes of the elders, the younger generation would always be so thin.
Separated for a month or two, with endless words to say.
In addition to Nightbreak Trickster, the entire hall was filled with cheers and laughter.
Because it was a family meal, Aunt Zhang cooked a dozen or so dishes. The dishes were exquisite and delicious.
Madame Bei continued to add dishes to her granddaughter and great-grandson's bowls.
Bei Yiyuan lamented. "Luckily, An'an and Nightbreak Trickster came back. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to withstand Grandma's caring attacks."
Old Madam Bei glared at him and said, "You talk too much. Be careful to not let Mrs Zhang cook your food for you and let you drink it."
Bei Yiyuan immediately buried his head into his food, not daring to say a word.
Because his grandma was someone who kept her promise. Don't look like she was joking, it was really possible that she would make everyone eat with an empty bowl in their hands the next time.
Seeing his second grandson beaten up, Old Bei was in an extremely good mood. He turned to his granddaughter and asked, "An An, are you not going to leave this time?" The work at the company is done? "
Just as Ji An was about to nod his head and think about meeting with Teng Yiyang, she paused and shook her head. "No. I came back during the holidays. I might be returning in two days."
Bei Yiheng, who knew why Ji An had returned to B City, gave her a glance.
Upon receiving his elder brother's gaze, Ji Anan gave him a pleading look, hoping that he would not expose him.
Bei Yiheng retracted his gaze and did not say a word.
She was relieved.
"You're only back for a few days and you're already leaving? Will Sleeping Treasure come with you? " Old Mistress Bei asked hurriedly.
Since she had promised Teng Yiyang, it was impossible for her to not take Nightingale away.
However, she didn't know how to respond to her grandmother's reluctant gaze.
Fortunately, her son took the initiative to open his mouth and solve her problem.
"Grandmother Zeng, Nightbreak with Mommy, or Mommy will be alone outside."
Elder Bei had the thought of teasing this little great-grandson, "That great-grandfather would also be very lonely?"
Sleeping Bao shook his head. "My great-grandfather had my great-grandmother accompanying him, but Mommy only had him!"
These words were full of innocence and childishness, but to the ears of those seated, it was extremely heartwarming.
Old Madam Bei patted his head and smiled affectionately, "Sleeping Treasure is such a good child."
Sleeping Bao revealed his small white teeth.
After the meal, Old Bei got up and said, "An An, come to the study room for a while."
Ji An's chopsticks stopped in his hand and he felt a sense of loss.
Don't just look at your grandpa's frank and talkative attitude, actually being serious is scary.
He had been a soldier for ten or twenty years, had gone into the sea for business, and spread the name of the Bei Clan throughout the entire B City. When he walked outside, everyone had to respectfully address him as Old Man Bei, how could he possibly be just an ordinary old man?
Bei Yiyuan looked at her with the gaze of someone hoping for good fortune.
Ning gave him a fierce glance, then gingerly made his way to the second floor and into the study.
The study was neat and tidy, every book, every decoration, as it had been for years, in place, as my grandfather had always been when he was a soldier.
Even now, the blanket was still a square piece of tofu.
Elder Bei was making tea. When he saw her enter, he pointed to the table and she immediately sat down across from him. She was like a primary school student facing a teacher. Her back was straight as she placed both of her hands on her knees, not daring to relax.
"Grandfather, why are you looking for me?"
Elder Bei placed the teacup in front of her and raised his head to look at her. "Don't be so nervous. Grandfather is not a tiger, he doesn't know how to eat people."
Ji Anan sighed and picked up the cup to drink. She forgot that she had just steamed it, so her mouth was almost burning.
Old man Bei put down the teapot and went straight to the point. "Did anything happen during this trip to A City?"
Ning pursed his lips.
The Bei Family was very clear about her relationship with the Teng Family, and even the marriage between her and Teng Yiyang was very clear.
Thus, his grandfather's question was not a simple routine concern.
"Greetings to Teng Yiyang and Grandpa Teng."
Elder Bei acknowledged, "That brat didn't bully you again?"
She thought of that face that deserved a beating and shook her head. "No."
"Grandfather has some old acquaintances in A City. Do you need me to help you vent your anger?" Elder Bei drank a mouthful of tea and said.
She knew that her grandfather was still brooding over what had happened to her. If it weren't for the fact that the Teng Clan had taken her in for more than ten years and helped her raise her, perhaps she would have already made a move that year.
But An An, you must remember that you and the kid from the Teng family have already divorced, so you shouldn't have anything to do with him. Wait until the end of your job in A City, then you won't go back.
Old man Bei's voice was filled with authority, as well as his care and love for this junior.
Thinking of the promise he had made to Teng Yiyang today, Ji An's heart was filled with guilt towards his grandfather.
He had always been thinking for her. He probably never would have thought that not only did she fail to get married, she even became entangled with Teng Yiyang.
She lowered her head, the tea turning bitter on the tip of her tongue.
"Got it, Grandfather."
After Old Bei heard this, he no longer said anything.
Ji An saw someone leaning on the banister as he exited the study.
"B-big brother …"
Bei Yiheng gave a faint smile. "Finished talking to grandpa?"
"Yes."
"It's my turn. Come up."
With that, he turned around and headed up to the third floor.
What should have come would eventually come.
He resigned himself to his fate and walked up the stairs.
