However, she had already placed the other party within the scope that she could entrust to the afterlife.
Yan Qinghe took off her reading glasses and wiped them. Her eyes were a little teary. “I… Understand.”
Yan Xi was a little uneasy. “Grandfather, I’m sorry for scaring you. I…”
She could not explain to grandfather her state of mind at that time.
She probably couldn’t let Xi Jingxing and Chen Xiangxiang take advantage of her by stepping on her own bones and partying.
She had already caught Chen Xiangxiang’s cheating device. The other party didn’t have the chance to cheat, so there was no need for her to tell Yan Qinghe about the dream so that the old man wouldn’t have to worry for nothing.
“I was just taking precautions, but my body’s data is improving. The progress of the research on cancer drugs at XI he research institute is also very gratifying. I’ll be fine.”
Yan Qing he patted Yan Xi’s hand in a comforting manner. “Grandpa is fine. Don’t worry.”
He was not old and muddle-headed. Yan Xi’s gaze was calm and unperturbed. She was even more powerful than her daughter back then.
If he continued to object, he would appear too old-fashioned.
“As long as you’re happy. Grandpa supports all your decisions.”After a pause, Yan Qing he said, “But the Xie family still has to show their attitude. This is a major event in life. We can’t be fooled so easily.”
Yan Xi let out a sigh of relief. As long as grandfather agreed, elder Xie would definitely make proper arrangements.
She briefly explained elder Xie’s plans and arrangements to grandfather.
Yan Qinghe was a little surprised. The young man was rash in handling matters, but elder Xie was very steady and dignified. He had even taken into account some very ancient customs and etiquette.
His last bit of doubt was dispelled. “Then we’ll wait for two days to return to the north bridge to see his arrangements.”
After saying this, Yan Qinghe suddenly said with a calm gaze, “Xi Jingxing came today.”
Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, then she turned to look at him.
“He said he came to visit me, apologized, said he was insensible for so many years, and even brought many gifts, but I let him take them back.”
Yan XI asked, “Do you think he’s truly repentant? I don’t think so.”
Yan Qinghe nodded. “I will never forgive him for giving away your life-saving medicine.”
That man was weak and irresponsible. He had led a muddled life, and the only ones who suffered were his daughter and granddaughter.
The only thing that Yan Qinghe felt was that the man had left him with such a pair of cute children. That was why he did not chase them out with a cold face. Instead, he had someone treat them well.
Yan XI said, “Since that’s the case, don’t let him in the future.”
She did not want her grandfather to feel uncomfortable when he saw this. It was not good for his physical and mental health.

Xi jingxing was ecstatic when he received Yan Xi’s call.
It was probably because he had put in a lot of effort on the Yan family’s side that he was finally able to move the other party.
He stood up with the phone in his hand and said to Zhao qingxuan opposite him, “Qingxuan, thank you for taking me in. Yan Yan called me. She must have something urgent to look for me.”
After leaving the Yan family, he met Zhao Qingxuan again and was invited to the He family’s Big Villa.
Although he had not wronged himself these days, he was only staying in a fast-moving hotel that cost 300 to 400 yuan. How could it compare to the big villa.
Xi Jingxing was extremely regretful. Back then, he had been bewitched by Chen Xiangxiang and had wholeheartedly wanted to adopt her.
It seemed that he had made a mistake from that step, and every step after that was a mistake. He had completely pushed his daughter to the opposite side of him.
Fortunately, there was a chance to turn things around. The fact that they were father and daughter together was the best counterattack against Qi Wan.
No matter how well-dressed and well-fed the other party was, what could he do? He was destined to lose his love forever in this life, and he would always be alone.
Whenever he thought of the days when he had been belittled by this person overseas, he felt especially relieved.
Finally, the person who had been high and mighty all those years ago was only defeated in front of him.
“Yan Yan, why did you think of calling father?”
Yan XI said, “Father, let’s go back to Beiqiao city during the holiday. Let’s go open mother’s safe.”
Xi Jingxing was stunned.
Yan XI asked, “You don’t have any objections, right?”
Didn’t the other party always want to open the safe and split the assets? Now that he had the chance, why was he hesitating?
Xi Jingxing came back to his senses and quickly said, “Of course! As long as you’re Happy!”
“Then it’s a deal.”After Yan XI said that, she directly hung up the phone.
XI jingxing stood in the garden with his phone in his hand, his expression fluctuating.
However, after a while, his expression relaxed again. He felt that his worries were unnecessary. Yan Qingcheng did not know the truth until she died, so how could she leave any evidence for Yan XI.
Yes, she must have thought too much.
It was good to get that sum of money. At least for the rest of his life, he would have nothing to worry about.
—
On the day of the agreement, as soon as the plane landed, Yan Xi rushed to the bank with Xi Yan.
After the manager of the bank’s safe checked the identities and keys of the three people, he opened the safe and handed the items inside to them.
The list of items was in Yan Xi’s hands. She counted them and calmly showed the items to the other two people.
“These are the jewelry that mother left for us. In case the family falls down one day, we can make a comeback. If you don’t have any objections, you can split the jewelry now.”
XI jingxing looked at the jewelry with a sad expression. “These are all things that could topple cities…”
As he said this, his voice started to choke. He was immersed in the sadness of missing his late wife and could not extricate himself.
Xi Yan’s eyes reddened as well. Seeing things reminded him of his mother when she was still alive.
The atmosphere was a little gloomy.
Yan Xi knocked on the table with her fingers and asked calmly, “So, what do you think, Father?”
“Divide the jewelry and sell it at a discount. There should be enough money to pay off the XI family’s debt.”. “But I have a request. Since the XI family has never interacted with the Yan family in the past, it’s better not to do so in the future. Grandfather is old and his health isn’t good. It’s important to keep himself happy. Father, your visit will only make the old man sad.”
Xi Jingxing felt like he had been splashed with cold water.
He looked anxiously at Yan Xi. “Yan Yan, you’ve Misunderstood Me! I’m not going to father-in-law because of the Xi family’s debt, I…”
Xi Jingxing felt like there was no way to defend himself. was this how his daughter saw him?
Why was she still so bitter and mean? How could her thoughts go to extremes so easily?
“Xi Yan, speak up for Father Too! Father isn’t that kind of person!”
Xi Yan nodded in agreement. It was impossible for Xi Jingxing to lower his head and beg for money.
His father cared more about his reputation and reputation. It was possible for him to put on an act. It would be too difficult for him to lower his head.
“But Daddy, you rarely go to the hospital to see Yan Yan. You said that you would think of Mommy… Grandpa should be the same. Mommy will be sad when he sees you.”
Xi Jingxing had thought that his son had a conscience just now, but he didn’t expect Xi Yan to pour cold water on him again.
He took a deep breath and pushed the jewelry in front of Yan Xi.
“Yan Yan, father actually didn’t plan to share these jewelry with you. After all, these are your mother’s belongings. How could I bear to sell them?”
