Chapter 227 A Must-See Climax of Recognizing Relatives (6)
Amidst the laughter and conversation, An Yiqing gradually made the acquaintance of the people arriving at the event. Qiu Yiping, Lin Chengming, Qiao Chengchun, and many influential figures she had treated before came forward one after another to greet her.
It was not until then that everyone present clearly saw, for the first time, just how extensive the strength and connections of this orphaned girl really were!
...
While everyone was chatting and joking, some commotion could faintly be heard at the entrance of the hall. As people turned their heads in the direction of the noise, they wondered, who was arriving now?
"Hahaha! Xiao Qing, you little ungrateful thing! You haven’t come to see your Grandpa Duan for so long!" A spry figure strode into the room, and his hearty laughter filled the entire hall.
An Yiqing was momentarily stunned upon hearing this. She turned around joyfully to face the elderly man, happiness surging within her as she hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said, "Grandpa Duan, I didn’t expect you to come! I’ve been too busy these days to get away, please don’t be angry."
Duan Yuntian naturally knew that the girl had been both hurt and busy treating others as well as attending to her business, so he certainly didn’t blame her. However, he cursed Duan Tang in private several times. If it weren’t for his good-for-nothing grandson, this little girl would have been part of their family by now. Would Old Gu have had the chance to show off in front of him?
As a result, Duan Yuntian was very displeased, even rolling his eyes outright when he saw Gu Yelin, who had snatched his granddaughter-in-law.
"Hmph! Little girl, are you in a relationship with this cold fish?" Elder Duan grumbled discontentedly, clearly unhappy. "This kid’s as cold as ice, so uninteresting. Xiao Qing, look how much better our Duan Tang is, so gentle and considerate towards you. You’re not in a rush; you really should think it over again."
