Free Web NovelChapter 1654: Chapter 1634:
An Zilan fell silent, and after a long time, she sighed. She had raised her children; how could she not understand and care for them?
A mother and her child are connected at heart! She couldn’t sleep well if something was wrong with her child. How could she not know the reasons her children didn’t tell her?
But it was precisely because of this that she got even angrier, being affected by those kinds of words.
After sighing, she fell silent again.
At this moment, Mo went upstairs with a serious expression: "Shiqi!"
Seeing Mo’s expression, Luo Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then immediately pulled the person upstairs, saying to the people behind her as she walked, "I have some matters to attend to now, brother. Leave other things to you, and follow your judgment."
Saying this, she turned a corner with Mo, and with a ’bang,’ they disappeared from view, along with their voices.
"Uh, then An Hao, you go downstairs to see the guests off." Luo Shufan rubbed his head, looking helpless, and retracted his gaze. Compared to doing nothing, he preferred being able to help his sister with something, so she wouldn’t feel so pressured.
He looked at Zhang Sheng and shrugged: "Qhianqhian still has things to do, as you can see. Sorry for not being a good host today. Maybe you can meet again when she has time. But frankly, concerning Xiao Yu, there’s no need to worry for now; she simply doesn’t have the thoughts for it."
"Sorry for the trouble, but there’s no need to see me off." Zhang Sheng, watching Xiao An Hao putting on shoes, felt awkward. He didn’t need a child to see him off.
However, An Hao was insistent on going downstairs with him, and only after seeing him off did she go back upstairs.
"Mom, Uncle Lin, you two should go downstairs too, Fourth Brother is still resting. I’ve already arranged for the doctor to come over and check on the kids first," Luo Shufan continued, "As for other matters, I’ll handle them when I get back. Qhianqhian’s burden is already heavy enough. You people don’t know what Qhianqhian has gone through, so don’t blame her. The respect and status she has now were earned with her life. No matter who, trying to replace her is impossible. Money, I can provide, but beyond that, I won’t get involved. Life or death, it has nothing to do with the Nine Heavens Pavilion or Huaxia."
An Zilan was dumbfounded listening to her son. She never expected her son to speak to her like this!
But when she was protecting her sister, did she consider her children’s thoughts?
An Hao walked into the room, "Dad, Mom, no matter who it is, nobody can bully my sister. If they want to bully her, they have to get past me first." Showing determination, after clearly conveying her resolve to her parents, she turned to Luo Shufan, "Second Brother, he’s out of the community."
"Mm, go wash your hands." Luo Shufan softened his expression as he looked at the little one.
No matter how mature she seemed, he was still her little brother, and he was there to protect Luo Qianqian.
An Hao happily went to wash her hands, without any reluctance.
"Then your mom and I will go downstairs too. Don’t eat cold stuff," Lin Xu, unlike An Zilan, had fewer concerns. After all, children have their fortune, and with Lin Jiayou and An Hao both living happily, he, as a father, had no further thoughts.
Compared to struggling in a flashy world, earning money to support the family, it’s clearly better to plant flowers, go fishing, and have everything without needing to buy extra. This lifestyle is clearly better.
"Uncle Lin, you could just call me; coming upstairs is a hassle." Luo Shufan nodded quickly.
His acceptance of Lin Xu was indeed initially because of Luo Qianqian. Without Luo Qianqian, he couldn’t have accepted his mom’s remarriage. In his eyes, love should be pure, and one’s life should be spent loving only one person; even if the other person is gone, one shouldn’t fall for someone else.
Sometimes, he wondered if he had insisted, would mom and dad still be together now?
But most of the time, he would replace his mom’s role with Luo Qianqian in his mind.
If it were Luo Qianqian getting married and having kids, then the other party seeking a divorce and disappearing for years.
He would have been rushing to set up blind dates for Luo Qianqian, wouldn’t he? How could he bear seeing Luo Qianqian alone? She was his sister.
Thinking of it this way, mom’s actions seemed justified. In that environment, if not for Luo Qianqian’s various whimsical ideas and meeting the superstar Yhan Miyuan, how could their lives transform dramatically?
They never expected Yhan Miyuan to be their cousin.
Back then, they would have had to rent a flat, barely making ends meet. Comparing mom’s look back then to now, where she’s older, it’s clear that her current condition is much better, even if it was over ten years ago.
"Sigh, maybe our family’s kids are all more mature." He sighed lightly, turning back to the study.
An Hao, after washing her hands, also sat quietly on the couch, silently watching TV without any desire to ask for someone to play with her.
Meanwhile, upstairs...
"I carefully went through the books and materials I had, and came to a somewhat unbelievable possibility. I myself am not quite sure, but after thinking it over, it seems like the most likely one." Mo took a deep breath, placing some printed photos on the table, his face full of seriousness: "Do you think it could be a Demon Beast?"
"Isn’t it... already obvious?" Luo Qianqian was speechless. Was Mo teasing her?
"But... you have to know, it’s not so easy to open the passage between worlds, and besides the Cultivation World, the other worlds don’t seem to have masters yet." After all, other worlds are whole and primitive; only the Cultivation World has been reconstructed.
"That doesn’t mean there are no such people! I was looking at it... It’s either a tiger or a leopard, or maybe not a lion, the tail isn’t right, but it’s definitely that kind of creature. How else would it be here? I checked carefully, and there are no sutured wounds. It really has no ears, not artificially attached either. I looked closely; you can clearly see the fur and skin inside. So, it’s not a person who’s been artificially modified." Because of the incident with Elder Haan, they became more cautious, repeatedly confirming whether it was artificially composed.
"Shiqi, I want to take a look at this person... um, creature?" Mo was still full of uncertainty: "Plus, I’m somewhat curious about why it hasn’t woken up."
"Alright, I’ll inform Elder Deng then."
Even though they remembered the passcode and the place, it wasn’t like the old Jimo Family grounds where they could just break in.
They could simply say a word, enter through legitimate means, without any need for unnecessary risks, right?
