Chapter: 4386

An Qi Shan's face was incredulous as he asked, "What are you saying? You're saying Cheng Qiu has been gone for 20 years?"

"Ah, yes..." An Chong Qiu pointed to his face. "Father, I'm now fifty years old this year..."

An Qi Shan was taken aback for a moment before suddenly rising in fury and shouting, "A bunch of worthless people! Twenty years have passed and no one has found Cheng Qiu back? What am I going to do after I die? How am I going to explain it to Cheng Qiu?"

Everyone fell silent instantly.

At this time, no one knew how to answer the old man's question.

The elderly woman began crying and said, "Qi Shan, all these years everyone has been searching for Cheng Qiu, Chong Qiu was searching, Kai Feng was searching, Shou Nan and Yuyu were also searching, including you who have always been searching. It's just that no one has found out what happened to Cheng Qiu..."

An Qi Shan's expression turned painful and he covered his face, saying, "It's all my fault... it's all my fault!"

The elderly woman hurriedly stroked his hand and sobbed, "Qi Shan, you've been blaming yourself for twenty years. It's hard enough that you've returned from the underworld. Don't torture yourself anymore. Those things in the past were not entirely your responsibility..."

An Qi Shan lightly shook his head and suddenly thought of something, looking excitedly at An Chong Qiu while struggling to sit up and asking, "Young lady... you... you said you're Cheng Qiu's fiancée... So have you found out what happened to Cheng Qiu?"

An Chong Qiu saw the old man had just returned from the underworld and was even more concerned about the whereabouts of Leaf Village. He really didn't want to lie to him.

But thinking of Leaf Village's instructions, he could only helplessly say, "I'm sorry, Grandfather... we haven't found out what happened to Brother Cheng yet."

As he heard this, An Qi Shan's excited expression in his eyes gradually faded. He couldn't help but shed two rows of hot tears and choke out: "I'm an old grandfather, I've been searching for Cheng's whereabouts for so many years, only to find myself rescued by Cheng's fiancée at the gates of hell... Shameful... shameless..."

An Qi Shan continued speaking, his heart filled with countless emotions.

Immediately after, he took off his oxygen mask and clasped his hands together in a bow to Chong Qiu, his voice filled with gratitude as he said: "Miss Chong, you have saved my life. As the saying goes, 'great favors are not expressed in words.' I, An Qi Shan, don't like to say empty or hypocritical things. I can only promise that whenever you need something, the entire An family will be at your service!"

An Chong Qiu heard this and as the eldest son of the An family, he immediately bowed to Chong Qiu, his voice respectful as he said: "Miss Chong, from now on, you can directly instruct me if you have any needs!"

Chong Qiu was taken aback by the fact that both grandparents of Leaf Village were bowing to her and hastily said: "You two are ancestors of Leaf Village and my own ancestors. Please don't be so courteous... these things are what I should do..."

The old lady was overwhelmed with gratitude as she said: "Good child, this miraculous elixir is priceless no matter who has it. You're willing to take it out for us, that's a great benefactor of our An family..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh: "At the beginning, Cheng Qiu said that your family, Chong Family, values relationships and morality. Who would have thought that you, Chong Family, would spend so many years searching for Cheng... truly, it's a deep emotional bond..."

Autumn Qiu smiled slightly, saying with a hint of embarrassment: "My parents have been telling me since I was young that when I grow up, I'll marry Uncle Leaf's brother, so in my heart, he has always been my fiancé. Finding him and marrying him is my conviction that I've held onto for 20 years."

Everyone from the An family was moved to tears upon hearing this.

The old lady's eyes welled up with tears, unable to hold back her choked voice: "So many years have passed, and we still don't know what's become of the young master... "

As she spoke, the old lady looked at Autumn Qiu and asked again: "Good child, you're waiting for Uncle Leaf so eagerly. Your parents haven't given their consent?"

Autumn Qiu puffed out her cheeks in seriousness: "Grandma, if I didn't wait for Uncle Leaf, my parents would really have an opinion. They all think that Uncle Leaf is my only destination, and they've been convinced that he'll definitely be found."

The old lady was deeply moved, grasping Autumn Qiu's hand seriously: "Good child, regardless of whether the young master can be found or not, you are Grandma's granddaughter-in-law! As soon as Grandfather's physical condition improves a bit, we'll go visit your house and see your parents. We must thank them in person for their efforts over the years to find the young master, and also to thank them for nurturing such an excellent young woman."

As she spoke, she took off her own wristlet, a stunning imperial green jade cuff, and handed it to Autumn Qiu with a serious expression: "Good child, this is a family heirloom passed down from my ancestors. Please wear it as a token of Grandma's visitation gift!" JrNovels.com
