Grandpa An rushed to country M, accompanied by two support staff who went to country M with Chris the day before yesterday.
For some reason, An Xuan appeared beside Grandpa An, and walked into the garden with him.
Henry and Jenny came out to greet her. Grandpa An was so angry that he reprimanded An Xuan beside him: "Are you kidding me? Did you bring the girl here?"
"You guys have grown up, and your wings are full. That girl is really powerful. She dropped out of school and came here without my consent, talking to herself!"
An Xuan lowered his head and didn't make a sound, he looked like a child being scolded.
Henry knew what was going on just by looking at it. He smiled awkwardly and said, "An Ning is living well in our house, and she just arrived the day before yesterday."
"Where is she? I want to see her now. She must go back with me today!"
An Xuan couldn't help but said: "Grandpa, let Xiao Ning stay here, this is also her decision."
"Decision? In case something happens to her, how can I explain to her dead parents?"
An Xuan wanted to say something, but it didn't help. Grandpa An was obviously angry, and he didn't allow them to have any chance to make suggestions as juniors, so he could only follow behind dejectedly, thinking about waiting How will you help An Ning round things up.
An Ning was wrapped in a quilt and was still asleep. There was an open notebook on the bedside table, which was full of messy formation diagrams, with many notes beside the diagrams.
"Bang!" The door was pushed open with a bang, An Ning's body moved, and she changed her position under the quilt. Just as she was about to continue sleeping, the quilt was thrown off her body!
"stand up!"
A familiar voice came, and the furious reprimand made An Ning jump up from the bed!
She squinted her eyes, and froze for a moment when she saw the person beside her.
Why is grandpa here
At first, she thought she was in An's house, and Grandpa An came to wake her up. When she was about to lie down and continue to sleep, a voice suddenly popped out in her head!
Am I not in country M? How could grandpa appear here? !
Thinking of this, An Ning immediately woke up!
"Grandpa!" She sat on the bed, her hair was messed up, and she looked like she was still awake. She stared at her eyes and couldn't help leaning back, "Why are you here?"
"You still know how to ask me? You stinky girl!"
An Ning immediately got off the bed, stood on the ground, tugged at the hem of her skirt, corrected her standing posture, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Haha, Grandpa, I... I, Grandpa, listen to my explanation."
"Explain?! Now that you think about it, have you explained it to me? Before you came here, did you think of my grandfather?"
"Grandpa... I..."
"Stop." Grandpa An raised his hand, motioning her to stop talking, "I won't listen, let's go, go back to China, where do you put Hua girl and me like this?"
"Grandpa, I won't go back!"
An Ning's temper rose in an instant, and he kicked down on the ground angrily. There was a fluffy carpet on it, and his face flushed: "I'm not going home!"
"Oh, you child, why are you so stubborn!"
Chris was standing in the shadows by the door, and instead of coming to help her out, he listened quietly to the confrontation between the grandparents and grandchildren.
This is considered a family matter for their family. Grandpa An's current behavior, to put it simply, is educating the children, and it is inconvenient for him to intervene. Moreover, Grandpa An will definitely know about An Ning leaving home and coming here. To reassure this old man, the only way is for An Ning to explain clearly to him in person.
"Grandpa, it's not that I'm stubborn."
An Ning gritted her teeth, and looked at Grandpa An seriously: "I don't want to stay in An's house, I don't want to be a flower in the greenhouse."
"Do you still remember that Yang Yi and I set out a B-level mission? Obviously, with Yang Yi and I's strength, we can complete it with our two cousins. You don't need to worry about me. If you worry about me, let everyone The elders lead the team."
"If you do this, my safety will be guaranteed, but for us, the task will not play a little bit of experience."
Her hands gripped the skirt, kneading her fingers.
Grandpa An calmed down, no longer excited, and quietly listened to An Ning's narration.
"Grandpa, as I said, I will inherit the family business, but if I stay in Anjia, I will rely on you and I will never become stronger."
An Ning said everything she wanted to say in her heart. Compared with the past when she liked to be alone, without saying a word, and only talked to Rong Hua, she has made great progress now.
The corners of Chris' lips could not help but rise, and his eyes were full of admiration.
Grandpa An was silent for a long time. After a while, he sighed heavily and shook his head helplessly.
"You, you, and your father were carved out of the same mold."
He walked up to An Ning and patted her on the shoulder: "I just wanted that kid to come in with me, but he didn't want to."
An Ning obviously knew who the kid grandpa was talking about, raised her head and asked, "An Xuan is back?"
"kindness."
"I know that you have always misunderstood him a lot. You always thought that he was not loyal to our family. After leaving home for so long, you would feel very upset if he suddenly came back and pointed at you."
"But, do you know why he left in the first place?"
Grandpa An spoke earnestly, and looked out the window, as if he was recalling something: "An Xuan accidentally knew about your parents when he was very young, and he also knew that this An family must be managed by the two of you. Hold up."
"But he understands that those who work in exorcising ghosts will face danger to their lives at any time, so..."
An Ning opened her big eyes, looking at her grandfather, her pupils trembling a little.
Because she seemed to know a little bit about the real reason why An Xuan left home, which had been bothering her for a long time.
"So if he wants to take on the family business alone, he has to work harder to protect you, so that even if you are an ordinary girl in the future, he can protect you well."
An Ning was stunned for a moment. Although she already had the answer in her heart, she couldn't believe this conjecture for a long time.
An Xuan turned out to be for herself... She left home since she was a child.
He was protecting her, not abandoning her.
The soreness in her eyes became more and more intense, and she even felt that she was going to cry in the next second, and the picture in front of her eyes was already blurred.
"Grandpa, you're lying to me..."
How could it be, how could that bastard An Xuan pay so much for himself
"Girl, no matter how grandpa is, he won't lie to you." Grandpa An looked at his granddaughter lovingly, and stroked her messy hair.
"Then why didn't you tell me... why did you keep hiding it from me..."
An Ning herself didn't even realize that there was a strong cry in her words, and her eyes couldn't help but heat up.
"At first you didn't intend to inherit the family business. An Xuan left the An family when you were not a governor. He didn't want you to know the truth. I respect him and have kept it secret until today."
"But it's different now, girl." Grandpa An lovingly grabbed An Ning's hand and patted it twice, "Grandpa An is really relieved that you have such determination to inherit the family business and study hard to exorcise ghosts. "
"Same, very worried."
As the old man talked, his eye sockets became wet, and he burst into tears, and wiped his eyes vigorously with his big rough hands: "I, an old man, only you two children can look forward to, Xiaoxuan is a man , he came out to make a living, Grandpa already felt very distressed, and now with you..."
"grandfather… "
Seeing her grandfather like this, An Ning's heart ached, tears flowed, and she hugged the gray-haired old man.
"Grandpa, this is my decision. I have not regretted it, and I will never regret it in the future."
Grandpa An wiped his face, choked up and said, "Do you know how nervous I was after you disappeared? Well? I'm afraid that something will happen to you, so how can I treat your parents like this? "
"They sacrificed their lives for this circle. I can't let you have an accident again."
An Ning patted his back reassuringly, and comforted him: "I'm fine, don't worry, grandpa, with Chris and An Xuan here, I'll be fine."
Grandpa An cried for a long time before he calmed down, let go of An Ning, and left her warm embrace.
Seeing that her grandfather had calmed down, she asked kindly, "Grandpa, can I not go back with you? I want to stay here and learn more exorcism techniques."
"Grandpa, look, I also brought a few books from Zangshuge here to study, and I took a lot of notes."
Like a primary school student who got a little red flower in school, she held a densely packed notebook and showed it in front of her grandfather, hoping to be praised by her elders.
Seeing her ghostly look, Grandpa An smiled through his tears.
"Okay, okay, don't go back."
An Ning almost jumped three feet high. Seeing that she had managed her grandfather, she was so happy. She didn't tell Grandpa An that she came to country M alone, so she felt a little uneasy.
Now that the matter has been clarified, and with her grandfather's permission, the big rock she had been hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground.
"However..." Grandpa An said seriously, "I will also stay in country M during this time."
"Ah—why?"
An Ning subconsciously thought that Grandpa was worried about her, so he wanted to stay here to protect her. Grandpa An saw her thoughts and said to her with a smile: "Silly girl, don't think too much, this place is not because of the fluctuations of Yin and Yang. , something happened, just to help you deal with it."
"When the problem is resolved, I will return to the country with some reinforcements from other families. At that time, it is up to you whether you want to go back with us or not."
In An Ning's eyes, it was as if stars had fallen, shining brightly, and she nodded excitedly.
Seeing that everyone was happy with the ending, Chris walked out from the door. When An Ning saw him, he was startled.
"Were you in the room the whole time?"
He nodded slightly, feeling a little embarrassed at once. After all, he saw the scene where he played his temper just now, and his face became hot again.
Peace, peace and calm! You weren't the kind of person who blushed at every turn before, what's wrong with you now? Why can't you control yourself when you see Chris? calm!
Chris seemed to know what she was thinking, and a sly look flashed in his eyes.
"Grandpa, Ning has already agreed to associate with me, and I will definitely protect her, so please rest assured, just leave her to me."
An Ning almost failed, she hasn't figured out how to tell her grandpa about this matter yet! How did he just say it!
God!
When she saw Grandpa an's surprised expression, she suddenly felt at a loss.
