Chapter 169 Such a Bane
Seeing this, Yu Jing hurriedly stood up from the main seat and walked down, giving her seat to the two elderly people who had just entered with a smile on her face.
"Dad, Mom, you have worked hard along the way!" Yu Jing greeted softly.
"Hello, grandpa, hello, grandma!" Dongfang Qingmo and others also greeted the two elders, and the house was filled with laughter for a while.
Dongfang Yiba looked at everyone happily: "Okay, okay, it's good that you're back."
After everyone exchanged greetings for a while, Qin Huailan's attention was suddenly attracted by Zi Li in Yu Jing's arms.
She carefully examined the delicate little girl and couldn't help but praise her, "Oh, this child is so adorable, so well-behaved and clever."
Hearing Qin Huailan's question, Dongfang Qingmo hurried forward and briefly recounted Zi Li's life story, and also introduced Qian Shuishui who came with them to everyone.
After listening to Dongfang Qingmo's introduction, Qin Huailan smiled and nodded, saying kindly: "So that's how it is. Since you've come to our house, don't be polite. Just have fun here and stay for a while. You don't have to leave!"
The Dongfang Mansion where she came from was a prominent and wealthy family, so supporting several people was naturally a piece of cake.
Upon hearing this, Qian Shuishui quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, old lady! It is truly a blessing for me to receive your care and shelter."
Seeing this, Zi Li also echoed, "Thank you, old lady."
Dongfang Yiba, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up. "It's truly remarkable that we're all gathered together today. And now that Qingmo's friends are here as guests, I think we should take this opportunity to have a sumptuous family dinner at home tonight."
"Great, Grandfather, this is exactly what I want!" Dongfang Qingshui's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he clapped his hands excitedly.
After all, although eating out is nice, it can never be as delicious as the delicious meals carefully prepared by the chef at home.
Qin Huailan looked at her grandson's greedy appearance and couldn't help but smile helplessly, scolding him: "You, you only know how to be greedy!"
Dongfang Qingshui scratched his head, smiled and said nothing.
"By the way, Mo'er, why are the two girls Chunhua and Qiushi nowhere to be seen?" Yu Jing suddenly asked while looking around.
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally lively and cheerful atmosphere suddenly became solemn and depressing as if a bucket of cold water was poured on it.
Yu Jing swallowed unconsciously and thought to herself.
Thinking of Manager Gao, who was out on an important mission, she couldn't help but speculate boldly: "Could it be that they..."
When Dongfang Qingmo heard her mother ask this, her expression instantly darkened, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and she replied in a low voice, "Mother, they are both... gone."
"What?! How could this happen?!" Yu Jing was shocked when she heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief, her face full of astonishment and grief.
Qin Huailan was also shocked, and she clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand.
"What's going on?" she asked anxiously.
Dongfang Qingmo took a deep breath and said slowly: "Some time ago..."
She explained slowly.
Everyone looked sad when they heard this.
Dongfang Yiba sighed deeply, and the heavy breath seemed to carry the weight of the entire world: "Alas... How could this world become so turbulent? There is actually an evil obstacle like An Wuhen!" His voice revealed endless worry and helplessness.
"That's right!" Dongfang Qingshui, standing by, was filled with anger, his face flushed red with anger. "Grandfather, Grandma, you have no idea how hateful An Wuhen is!"
His eyes flashed with anger, as if they would spit out fire at any moment.
Then, Dongfang Qingshui seemed to have opened a box of chatterboxes and began to talk about his experiences incessantly.
He danced with his hands and got emotional, pouring out all the infuriating things: "I was..."
The Eastern Tyrant sat there quietly, listening to his grandson's story.
As the story progressed, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, forming a deep frown.
He grew increasingly angry at An Wuhen's evil deeds, but he was more worried about the safety of his grandchildren.
Dongfang Qingmo, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly interrupted Dongfang Qingshui's chattering: "Brother, stop talking. Talking too much will only make the elders more sad and upset."
In reality, she had her own plans. If she allowed Dongfang Qingshui to continue, she might even reveal her lesser-known abilities.
But at this moment, she is not ready to confess everything to her family.
What's more, there is really no need to tell all the things to the elders in the family.
Especially her mother Yu Jing, if she heard too many troubles at this time, she would toss and turn and find it difficult to fall asleep when it was late at night, and her thoughts would surge like a tide.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Qingmo couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
Qin Huailan couldn't hold back her tears. She gently picked up her handkerchief, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and murmured to herself: "Poor children, they have suffered such hardships..."
Dongfang Ti frowned slightly, his gaze falling on Dongfang Qingshui, and he slowly said, "Mo'er is absolutely right. Today should have been a joyful day. Don't let sadness linger in your heart."
Hearing this, Dongfang Qingshui came back to his senses as if waking from a dream. He realized that what he had just said was indeed a bit inappropriate.
A trace of guilt appeared on his face, and he quickly covered his mouth with his hand and made a soft hushing sound, indicating that he would not say any more.
At this moment, the scene fell into a brief silence, with only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves.
A moment later, Dongfang Ti broke the silence and continued, "An Wuhen has already died. Let's put this matter to rest."
His words were concise and clear, as if he wanted to completely put the past behind him.
At this moment, Yu Jing, who had been standing by and listening quietly, couldn't help but ask, "Is he really...dead?"
Before anyone around could respond, a thunderous roar suddenly rang out: "Good death! This thief has committed countless evil deeds that are beyond the reach of justice. He deserved to die long ago!"
Dongfang Yiba's face flushed red, veins popped out on his forehead, and his pair of big copper bell eyes were wide open, as if they were about to spit fire.
While shouting loudly, he slammed the table in front of him hard, and the extremely sturdy table was actually cracked by him.
