Chapter 557: Chapter 557 Reunion Year (6)

Old Master An’s words received collective approval from the An Family. Old Lady An stepped forward, and following Old Master An’s lead, pressed Ye Chenghong down onto the chair, "Younger Brother, you must listen to what the elder sister-in-law says. Today, only you can sit in this seat! Quick, sit down, let’s eat!"

Looking into the sincere and expectant faces of the An Family, Ye Chenghong helplessly shook his head, overcome with emotion as he sat down.

Seeing this, Old Master An smiled satisfactorily. He and Kong Shuyan each took a seat to the left and right of Ye Chenghong. Next to them were Old Lady An and Shao Fang, followed down the line by the couple, An Zisheng and Kong Shi, and then the trio of An Yiqing siblings and the three persons from Zhang Yuksheng.

The An Family didn’t have many rules, but out of respect, the younger generation still made sure to arrange their seats in order.

"Come on! Let’s not just sit around, let’s eat!" Old Master An declared, waving his hand grandly. He picked up a blue-and-white porcelain wine cup, poured a cup of fruit wine brewed by An Yiqing, and stood up, "Today is the happiest year I’ve had in many at the An Family, our family is finally reunited!"

No sooner had Old Master An finished speaking than everyone, with smiles and joy on their faces, stood up with their wine cups to continue listening.

"Niniu has been away from home for nineteen years. During those years, every New Year, our family would worry about whether she ate well or dressed warmly outside, even if she was alive or dead. However, this year, I, an old man, finally saw my precious granddaughter again! Good! Excellent!"

Listening to the excited words of Old Master An, An Yiqing felt a sourness in her nose and a redness in her eyes, with an indescribable happiness and warmth slowly rising in her heart.

"On this day, I want to give special thanks to my Younger Brother Ye!" Holding his wine cup, Old Master An looked earnestly at Ye Chenghong, who was standing to the side, "Old brother wants to thank you. If it weren’t for you saving Niniu nineteen years ago, perhaps for all our lives, our family would never have seen her again. Younger Brother Ye, thank you, thank you not only for saving Niniu but also for teaching her skills and raising her into adulthood! Old brother, I am eternally grateful!"

"Old brother, why speak such words? It’s been the presence of Girl Qing by my side all these years that has allowed me to endure nearly two decades. It is I who should thank you for giving me such a good apprentice," Ye Chenghong gently shook his head, saying earnestly.

Watching Old Master An and Ye Chenghong thanking each other back and forth, the straightforward Old Lady An suddenly interjected.

"You two stop pushing it back and forth. You guys have almost turned New Year’s Eve into a thanksgiving banquet. Come on, I propose that we all drink a cup, wishing every one of us a better year than the last one!"

"Good! All of us here, to a year even better than the last!"

Everyone raised their glasses, clinked them, and downed the wine in a gulp!

The sweet yet slightly spicy fruit wine was refreshing to the heart, and as An Yiqing drained her cup, sweet sentiments arose in her heart along with a hint of tipsiness, filled with the taste of happiness.

She looked up towards the window, her clear eyes brimming with warmth.

Mm, Ah Lin, I am very happy.

...

At Qin Private Hospital, even during the New Year, a place like a hospital never closes.

Perhaps due to the festive season prompting thoughts of family reunions, there was a touch of loneliness both in the atmosphere of the hospital and the mood of the patients. However, this definitely did not include Qin Dingshan, who resided on the top floor with the best treatment.

The consecutive comas in the past few days had finally allowed Qin Dingshan to get through the critical period, and he had been strictly ordered by the doctor to stay in the hospital and not return home.

But whether it’s New Year’s or not, for the traditionally emotionally distant Qin Family, it’s not much of consequence. During the holidays, when the Qin Family gathered, it was nothing more than scheming and showing off their wit.

Qin Dingshan’s youngest daughter, Qin Yu, found staying in the hospital during the holidays to be bad luck, and so she left for her mother-in-law’s house the day before. Qin Han was still abroad, reportedly due to some issues at a branch company, and could not return for the time being. Qin Fang, Qin Jia, and Xiao Shulan were dead, and at this moment, in the vast Qin Family, only the weak Qin Feng and his father Qin Dingshan remained.
