Read Novel I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 575

After leaving the hospital, Fu Sijue went straight to the Yun residence. However, things were looking morose there, for the Yun family was worried if they would get into trouble from what happened two days ago.

They could still remember vividly what Yun Shen said when he took Shen Qianan away from the Yun residence, and they knew he meant every word he said.

According to the investigations done under the order of Yun Hao, Shen Qianan was indeed the daughter of Su Huaibei. Yet, because a reunion never took place, Shen Qianan grew up under the care of the Shen family in the capital all this while. The Shen family had always been at odds with the Fu clan and the Su family from Jiang City.

Although Shen Qianan was never doted on in the Shen family, her uncle, Shen Shixiu, did treat her well. Now that the Su family had also accepted Shen Qianan, she was under protection from the Shen and Su family at the same time. No one would dare to mess with her or the two families.

It had never been in the interest of Yun Hao to deal with such matters. However, since Yun Jing was not around, and Yun Hao was the eldest in the family aside from their matriarch, Jiang Jingyun, everyone would come to him for advice. Yun Hao was at loose ends. He sent his people to find out the condition of Shen Qianan, only to discover that there were no traces of her whereabouts. To be precise, someone had ordered a ban on any news regarding Shen Qianan.

Yun Shen was also not at home these days as he had been puttering around with his fellow friends. Thus, Yun Hao had no choice but to turn a blind eye to Yun Shen’s deeds.

Just when Fu Sijue, also known as Yun Jing, arrived home, he was met by several elders of the Yun family in the living room. Even though these elders did own some shares of Yun Group, they did not have much right to speak up.

Yun Jing took off his coat and lay it on his arm as he casually strolled toward them and greeted, “Uncle Heng, Uncle Bei, what’s the meaning of all this?”

“Jing, you’re finally home!” Yun Hao uttered. He then ordered the housekeeper to serve Yun Jing a cup of tea before he relayed the things that happened recently in the Yun family to Yun Jing.

Despite being aware of some of the issues, Yun Jing narrowed his eyes in disbelief at the many things that had taken place while he was away from Jiang City. The fact that Fu Chengyan could identify some of his bases in no time raised his concern.

Fu Chengyan was indeed someone capable of causing harm to the Yun family, after all.

“Uncle Heng, don’t worry. Let me handle this matter. After all, the Su family and the Yun family share some good ties together. All of this must be a misunderstanding. I’ll settle it,” Yun Jing assured.

He listened to the details of every matter brought up by the elders before heading to his room upstairs. Before walking up the staircase, he got halted by the butler, who spoke up. “Mr. Jing, Old Mrs. Yun is requesting your presence.”

Yun Jing squinted his eyes and asked, “Is Grandma also informed of the news about Ms. Shen?” Dumbfounded by those words, the butler nodded his head after regaining his senses. “Yes, Master Yun. Old Mrs. Yun witnessed it when Mr. Shen carried Young Lady Shen out of the dungeon behind the artificial hill. Mr. Jing, please beware that Old Mrs. Yun has been moody lately. It’s best if you go along with what she wants when speaking to her.”

“Alright then. Please have the chef send some supper to my room.” Yun Jing nodded in acknowledgment. Then, he dashed toward his grandma’s room.

“Grandma, It’s me! Yun Jing,” he shouted as he knocked on the door.

Jiang Jingyun was reciting prayers in her room at that moment. Hearing Yun Jing at the door, she paused momentarily before answering, “Come in!”

Yun Jing promptly entered and spotted his grandma sitting on a reclining chair with a scripture book in her hands. The book seemed heavily worn out as the latter read it every night.

His gaze fell upon Jiang Jingyun. Soon, he realized that she was also sizing him up. Raising his head and slightly smirking, he walked toward her. “Grandma, what are you reading?” “What a silly question! Isn’t it obvious what I’m reading,” replied Jiang Jingyun as her face darkened. She continued, “Jing, have you forgotten what I told you?”

“Of course not. I still remember,” replied Yun Jing. Worried that his grandma was in doubt, Yun Jing moved and sat on a chair next to hers before massaging her legs.

Unfortunately for Yun Jing, Jiang Jingyun did not buy his words that easily. She shook his hands off and shot a stern look at him. She looked utterly different from the amiable old lady she had always been. Her aged voice said, “Jing, I may be old, but I’m not

blind. It’s been so many years since your granddad and dad passed away. I don’t have much to ask for now except one wish, and that is for you to live well.”

She then reached out her hand to caress Yun Jing’s face. On a closer look, she pondered the resemblance of her grandchild’s face to hers. Yet, contrary to the warm and friendly grandson in her memory, Yun Jing’s face seemed more indifferent and icy now.

Placing a wrinkled hand on Yun Jing’s cheeks, Jiang Jingyun shook her head and sighed. “Jing, it is good enough the way things are now. Listen to Grandma. Please don’t-”

“Grandma!” Yun Jing interrupted. “I’m a grown-up now. I know how to solve things on my own. Quit worrying about me!”
