Chapter: 4482
The old lady was infuriated, "Fine! You're stubborn! If you don't change, when your grandson returns home, we'll bring up the topic of Chengqi and Chang Yan in front of him. If you dare say these things again in front of him, he'll definitely cut off ties with you and never come to visit me again! I'll also cut off ties with you if I have to push away my dear grandchild! Don't believe me? Just wait and see!"
Old Master An's anger had just subsided when this was said. He suddenly fell limp like a deflated balloon.
He knew that Old Lady would not possibly cut off ties with him, but if his grandson Leaf Chang returned home and he still maintained this attitude, Chang would definitely not forgive him.
After all, no one would accept someone else's parents who had gone to their demise being belittled by others.
Thinking of this, Old Master An took a deep sigh and opened his mouth: "You're right... I'll change... I must change..."
He finished speaking, but then some dejected feelings emerged: "I wonder if I can still see Chengqi before I die......"
Old Lady saw his attitude shift, and her tone also relaxed, comforting him: "Don't worry, I believe it won't take long for Chang to come back."
Old Master An hastened to ask: "Why are you so confident?"
Old Lady was sincere: "The girls have arrived, and Chang will not be far behind; heaven above must definitely bring Chang back because of the girls' pure hearts."
"Gods......" Old Master An heard this, and couldn't help but mutter to himself with half-belief.
At this moment, An Chongqiu spoke up: "Dad, you got off scot-free this time, all thanks to Chang's fiancée. I think this is heaven's will, God taking care of you like this, so you'll definitely get to see Chengqi."
Old Master An heard these words and nodded thoughtfully with a hint of consideration.
At this moment, a staff member hurried over and said respectfully: "Old Master, Old Lady, Inspector Li from the New York Police Department is downstairs saying he wants to come up."
The old master was astonished and said: "Ah Lin? Hurry, bring this kid up!"
Old Lady cautioned beside him: "Ah Lin hasn't been here for several years; he's already over 50 now."
"Oh......" The old master suddenly snapped out of it, having just recalled Ah Lin when he thought it was still 20 years ago.
Soon enough, Ah Lin arrived at the top floor of An Bang Building with the staff member accompanying him.
As soon as he saw the old master, Ah Lin quickly approached and said respectfully: "Uncle An, how's your health? Originally, I wanted to go to Los Angeles with Chongqiu to see you, but there were some matters in the past two days that didn't allow me to leave, and I beg for your understanding!"
The old master looked at Ah Lin, amazed, and asked: "Are you Ah Lin?"
Ah Lin was taken aback, glanced around at others, then back at the old master, and quickly nodded: "It's me, Uncle An. I'm Ah Lin, Li Ah Lin."
The old master couldn't help but say: "You... how do you manage to look like your dad from 20 years ago? Your aunt told me you're already over 50 this year. I think you must be at least 60 by now. What's going on?"
Ah Lin was embarrassed and said: "Uh... these past few years, I've been busy with work, overworked and neglected self-care. That's why I look older than my peers......"
As he was speaking, Li Ah Lin added: "Oh, by the way, Uncle An, don't look at me like I'm only fifty-plus years old. I've already retired ahead of schedule."
The old master was even more puzzled and furrowed his brow to ask: "How did you retire so early?"
Li Ah Lin smiled wryly: "I originally planned to retire next year, but these past few years, I've neglected my wife and children, and they're mad at me. They moved away to Houston two years ago, and I want to get there and take care of them before it's too late, or we'll be estranged." JrNovels.com
