Ruoxue, Will You Come Back?
Ruoxue, Will You Come Back?
He was not too surprised, however. Old Mister Yan was not expected to live long, but he did not think it would be so soon.
"A person's life is too short. To an ordinary person, it is just a few decades that pass by in a flash, "Qin Yu sighed slightly.
His feelings about Old Mister Yan were extremely complicated.
As the saying goes, one loves the house as well as the birds that resided at the house. Qin Yu would love Yan Ruoxue's family as much as he loved her.
Moreover, when Qin Yu had just started his journey in cultivation, Old Mister Yan had given Qin Yu a lot of help.
"Return to Pyro," Qin Yu stood up and said in a chilly voice.
Old Mister Yan did not have much time and he probably would not be able to hold on for much longer. For this reason, Qin Yu did not dare to waste another moment.
On the same day, Qin Yu rushed back to Jingdu from the Deer Emperor Island.
Meanwhile, at the Yan family manor.
It was an extremely lively day.
Many luxury cars were parked at the manor's entrance. Most of the important people in Jingdu had showed up here.
They surrounded the hall as if they were waiting for Old Mister Yan's funeral.
When they saw Qin Yu walked in, one after another, everyone in the hall stood up.
The way they looked at Qin Yu was extremely strange. There was worry and fear in their eyes. In the depths of some people's eyes, there was even a hint of alarm.
The man in the center of this crowd was none other than Yan Sihai.
He slowly stood up and gestured for everyone to sit down.
As for himself, he walked directly in front of Qin Yu.
"You came very quickly." There was no emotion in Yan Sihai's voice.
Qin Yu said with a faint smile, "No one would be happier than you now that Old Mister Yan had passed away, right?"
Yan Sihai snorted and said nothing.
"Which room is Old Mister Yan in?" Qin Yu asked.
Yan Sihai said, "Follow me."
Qin Yu followed Old Mister Yan and came to a room on the second floor.
Old Mister Yan was lying on the bed. His life was near the end and he looked extremely frail.
Even the young body that Qin Yu found for him appeared to have aged.
The brothers of the Yan family were currently surrounding Old Mister Yan.
Some covered their faces while some cried. Some of them held on to Old Mister Yan's hand, reluctantly to let him go.
"Old Mister Yan," Qin Yu walked quickly over to Old Mister Yan.
Old Mister Yan smiled and said, "Qin Yu, you're here..."
Qin Yu nodded and said, "Old Mister Yan, how are you feeling right now?"
Old Mister Yan did not seem to want to continue this topic. He waved his hand and said, "Since everyone is here, it's time for me to say my last words."
When they heard this, everyone in the room became a little nervous.
Among them, Yan Sihai's expression was clearly becoming a little unnatural. He lit a cigarette and kept smoking it, as if he wanted to dispel the nervousness that he was feeling.
Qin Yu knew in his heart that what they were most nervous about was the vacancy of the head of the Yan family.
Naturally, Old Mister Yan knew better. His eyes that were like an ancient pool swept over everyone before finally landing on Qin Yu.
"I know that all of you want to know who will inherit the position of the head of the Yan family after I am gone..."old Mister Yan said slowly.
Once these words were said, the people in the room became even more nervous.
Old Mister Yan let out a long sigh and said, "To be honest, I initially wanted to leave the position of the head of the family to Ruoxue, but I didn't expect Ruoxue to be missing without a trace..."
Yan Sihai's expression suddenly changed, and a trace of anger flashed through his eyes.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he maintained his silence.
"Since Ruoxue isn't here, the position of the head of family should be handed over to Qin Yu..."Old Mister Yan said in a low voice.
"Old Mister Yan, I'm not interested in the position of the head of family," said Qin Yu with a frown.
Old Mister Yan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I am not finished speaking..."
"In my original plan, the position of head of the Yan family should be handed over to Ruoxue or Qin Yu... but plans often can't keep up with changes. I think that for Qin Yu, property is nothing."
Yan Sihai patted his chest and clearly heaved a sigh of relief.
"No one knows my own body better than me. I knew for a long time that I did not have long to live, so during this period of time, I have been thinking about the issue of a successor," Old Mister Yan continued.
At this moment, his gaze fell on Yan Sihai.
"I have thought about it for a long time, and in the end, I feel that this position... is most suitable for Sihai,"Old Mister Yan said.
Hearing this, Yan Sihai was instantly overjoyed!
He hurriedly walked in front of Old Mister Yan and said excitedly, "Dad, you finally got it. The position of the head of the family ought to be taken over by me!"
At this moment, Qin Yu shot a icy glance at Yan Sihai.
Only then did Yan Sihai realize that he had was acting inappropriately and he quickly retreated to one side.
"Sihai, I hope that you will treat your brothers well. All of them are your flesh and blood," Old Mister Yan said with a wave of his hand.
Yan Sihai said excitedly, "Dad, don't worry! I will guarantee their prosperity for the rest of their lives!"
Old Mister Yan said nothing more. He waved his hand and said, "All of you leave now. Qin Yu, you stay."
After getting everyone out of the room, only Qin Yu and old Mister Yan were left in the room.
"Old Mister Yan, if you have something to say, just say it," Qin Yu said, while half-knelt in front of Old Mister Yan.
Old Mister Yan waved his hand and said, "The one person I am worried about is Ruoxue. You..."
"You don't have to worry." Qin Yu took a deep breath.
"I swear I will take good care of her."
Old Mister Yan seemed to have a more things to say, but in the end, he did not say anything more. He just waved his hand and said, "You go now; I want to be alone."
Qin Yu opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but was cut off by Old Mister Yan with a wave of his hand.
Seeing this, Qin Yu sigh slightly before walking out of the room.
A group of people gathered around at the door of Old Mister Yan's room.
And the elite of Jingdu, who had come to visit, were waiting in the hall on the first floor.
"It's so strange. Just a moment ago, my father was in a critical state, but now he suddenly seems to have recovered," Yan Sihai muttered.
Qin Yu glanced at him and said, "Why? Are you that impatient?"
"No. To be honest, I've done so many bad things that I really didn't expect my father to give me the position," Yan Sihai sighed.
Qin Yu snorted lightly and didn't want to bother with Yan Sihai.
Thus, everyone waited from day until night, but the dying Old Mister Yan still showed no signs of leaving this world
Qin Yu knew that he held on because he still had the desire of seeing someone.
And that someone was Yan Ruoxue.
"Ruoxue, will you come back?" Qin Yu looked at the sky outside the window and whispered.
